A monument to Fallen Braves.

--The proposed monument on the field of battle of Magenta, in honor of the French generals, officers and soldiers killed on the memorable day of that battle in June, 1859, is nearly completed. The masonry work is finished, and the bronzed ornaments in the interior of the chapel are affixed. The names of the men who fell in the battle are to be inscribed on the brass plates. As soon as the monument is finished, the commissioners who directed the work will inaugurate it with great ceremony.
