A Toronto uespaicii naya: j.110 nova ncotia ques tion has Riven Mr. Make, leader of the Opposition In the Ontario kcal Legislature, a peg whereon to hang a number of resolutions begging the Imperial Gov ernment to disallow the Nova Scotia act, with Its unfair financial arrnngcnientH. The discussion on ttioso resolutions will be unusually bitter. Mr. Wake's character Is one of unflinching detcrmlna tlon and perseverance In any course which ho deli berately adopts, lie will, even after he is appa rently defeated, combat step by step every argu ment that can be brought against him. The vacancy created by the greatly lamented death of Chancellor Vankonget, the Government will probably be very elad to till by offering It to Mr. Blake, who is In tho front rank of chancery lawyers, ami who, as a reader of Opposition In the local lfonse Is one of the most troublesome men with whom the Government have had to contend. A great deal ot bitter feeling has been aroused by the plain statements of the Opposition papers In re lation to Sir John A. Macdonald, the Premier of this country, who is said to have been In a constant statu ci drunkenness miring tne wnoie time or nis accom panying Prince Arthur while on his progress through Ontario. In this city, it Is remembered that at a de jeuner given to the l'rlnce and the Governor-Gene ral, the Premier wus so intoxicated that, after spilling several glasses of wine over the gentlemen seated near him, and staggering to his logs at Inopportune moments, to frantically shake his glass, and articu lating a feeble hooray, without specifying what the demonstration or the hooray might be intended to signify, he was conveyed to his lodgings In a hack. It Is argued that such a man is not fit to be intrusted with the conduct of a H airs, although every one be lieves that when Sir John Is sober there is no more able man In the Dominion. The Red River Rebrllion-Wliy the Ilnlf lirecda Drove Out (Governor AlcDouKall The Desperate Alternative of War. A Toronto despatch, dated yesterday, says: An extraordinary article has appeared to-day In the Montreal Yeio concerning tiie Ked River troubles. "We had private Information," it says, "last August, the purport 01 which we made known, that if Mr. McDougall appeared at Red River In his ofllclal capa city serious trouble would supervene, as he had, rightly or wrongly, made himself obnoxious to the Indians, who remembered him as having despoiled them of their lands. They say that Hir Francis Head, in the name of her Majesty, gave them the Monltan tin Island as their exclusive and unchanged property while grass grows or water runs; that Mr. McDongall, In utter scorn of that gift, ordered the white Commissioner of the Crown lands to survey some portions of Monltantintin, and they heighten the alleged outrage by Imputing to lilm that he despoiled them to enrich connections and rela tions." The XewH adds: "We tell the Ottawa Gov ernment that It made one mistake when it named .Mr. McDongall for Governor. Iet It not perpetuate ttiat blunder by continuing him at the Northwest. Recall him and avoid as a last and desperate alter native the sending of troops thither. There are in the Province many gentlemen boasting Indian blood, and they are the men the Government should consult until colonization has been organized." The Toronto Telegraph suggests that the Hoyal Canadian Kiflcs be employed by the Government, and sent to the Red river. The Government Without Advices. An Ottawa despatch Bays: The Government have not received anything otllcial from Governor McDougall relating to the re- ?orted opposition to his entry into the Northwest erritory. No application has, as yet, been made for an armed force to escort him. Particular of the Insurrection. The Hor'-Wenter, October 26, a Government organ, furnishes the following details of the first Insur rectionary movement In Witinepeg Territory. On October 22 information was laid before the authori ties, and wus sworn to In the form of an atlldavit, that the French were already In arms upon the road between Blinking river and Pembina, and that such of them as took an active part In the uprising were xlcpting every precaution to intercept Mr. .McUougall on his way In. They were fully organized and were sufficiently under military discipline to thrown out scouts upon all the approaches to I the settlement from the South, and to post pickets 1 and sentries at night. These fellows fiad billeted themselves upon the Inhabitants at their various places of rendezvous. They were divided into three parties of about twenty or thirty in each, these parties being stationed at Stinking river, Scratching river, and near Pembina, severally. On October 82 they threw a barricade across the road at StlnKing river, and would allow nono to pass until they had undergone an examination. Upon the arrival of this news, considerable excitement was manifested, but no steps of any kind have been taken by our people, as they depend npon a call from our authorities. The Council of Asslnlboln met yesterday to con sider the matter, and they used their utmost endea vors to persuade the leaders of the movement to desist, but without avail. We are happy to be able to state that this movement Is confined to a very few among our French fellow-colonists ; and before any further action be taken, the Council have deter mined to engage the services of the loyal and intel ligent French to meet and to endeavor to persuade those now In arms to retire peaceably to their homes, and to allow Governor McUougall to come in and to Institute his Government and to give that Govern ment a fair trial fcefore resorting to extreme mea sures. 1 his would be by all means the most sensi ble course to adopt: and we are certain those who fear that some tyrannous outrage will be attempted against their Just rights will be most agreeably mistaken. We regret to learn that the Governraen surveying party under the Immediate charge o Mr. Webb, employed in surveying a base line ove toward Oak Point, has been obliged to cease work on account of tbo opposition offered by French half breeds. These men, in a band; of 18 or 20, met th surveying party while running the line at a point tome miles south of the ABsinniboln and eight or ; ten miles from Fort Garry, on the 11th Inst., and, i claiming all the country south of said river for the Frenoh. threatened violence if the survey was not at , once discontinued. Mr. Webb, acting under written Instructions on this point, previously given hira by Colonel Dennis, ceased operations for the time, and . reported the facts to the officer named. Two Gov I eminent officials have endeavored to seenre the sub i mission of the band, without avail. The following are the demands of the Red River Insurgents: , 1. The right to elect their own Legislature. 2. That the Legislature Bhull have power to pass an act, of a local nature, by a two-third vote, over Ifee veto ol the Executive. 8. No law of a local nature to be binding until auctioned by the Legislature. 4. A free Homestead and Pre-emption law. 1 o. An Indian policy caiouiatcu 10 insure guou wm y tod quiet in the Territory. a. All the executive, legislative, civil, and military uriensps. for a criveu number of years, to be paid out of the Dominion treasury. 7. An appropriation to be expended In the Internal Improvements In the Territory. After placing these guarantees beyond peradvon ture, then the proposition of annexation to the Do nimon to be submitted to a vote of the people. PARAGUAY. The Sltuatloa The Argentine and Brazilian View How I .ope lleifan Ills Aggression Paraguay (Guaranteed Its Territorial Into srlty. A pamphlet In explanation of the Paraguayan dif ficulties has appeared. It makes a reference to the leading features in the history of Paraguary under the elder Lopez, Including an allusion to its Consti tution to prove that the Government is not repuhli can in' form. The origin of the war is also shown, - ....... I nnvwavu thut. T.finfl7.

Those who think so forget that Brazil Is a power essentially American, a constitu Monal monarchy with a free government. They forget that Its vast extent of territory could not. be Increased without great risk to the peace and well b lug of Brazil and its neighbors. They forget, also, that Brazil assisted to overthrow the dictator ship of Rosas, and In so doing promoted the estab lishment of free Institutions In the Argentine Re public. They do not stop to study the causes that nave Irresistibly brought about this war; a war be tween feudalism Hnd progress; a war that has grown out of the military and despotic systems the ambi tious spirit of Lopez and the geographical frontier of Paraguay ; a war between monopoly and freedom between Justice and force. The contiguity of a race so widely separated from Its neighbors In it habits, traditions, tendencies, and language inevitably pro duced this war, and s Inevitably resulted in the alliance between the elements antagonistic to that strange social and political paradox called the Re public of Paraguay." Extracts from the treaty of alliance ore given to prove that the war Is not carried on against the peo ple of Paraguay, but against Its Government, or, In other words, against Ix)pez, and Include a declara tion that the "independence, sovereignty, and terri torial Integrity of the Repunlic of Paraguay Bhall be guaranteed collectively by the high contracting parties for five years." In a general remark relative to the object of the war, the following language is used : "There Is no design against the Independ ence and sovereignty of Paraguay, the only object being to overthrow a tyrant whose political exist ence is inconsistent with this enlightened age." The pamphlet closes with the following remark able assertion: "A number of Important papers were found In the camp of Lopez. Among them Is a will of his dated the 23d of December last, In which he appoints Madame Kilza Lynch his sole legatee. There were found also two letters of the same date, addressed by Lopez to General McMahon, the United States Minister at Paraguay, in one of which he asks the General to under take the duties of cxacutor under his will, and in the other requests hlrn to become guardian of his children, whom he confides to the General's care and protection." In commenting on this statement the writer says: "It Is not credible that the United States Minister has accepted the ap pointment wtth which Lopez Invested him in order to represent his adulterous progeny, and to adminis ter his property procured through treachery, as was most of the wealth that Lopez pretends to possess.' THE SOUTH SEA HOUR 0 H. Particulars of the Revolt of South Sea Island ers on a Coolie Ship. JFrom t lie San Francisco Bulletin, Nov, 10. By the brig Nautilus, Captain Turner, which ar rived from Tahiti yesterday, making the quickest trip on record sixty-seven days lor tne round trip news is received by a business house in this city of one of the most thrilling tragedies ever enacted on the high seas. It brings to mind the fearful scenes witnessed on board the African slavers several years ago, and surpasses any of the dark deeds on ship board that have been chronicled for a long time. Some two years ago the French barque Murlaldl was fitted up by the Tahiti Cotton Company, and sailed for the Gilbert Islands, near Auckland, ostensibly on a trading expedition, but really for the purpose of securing a cargo of Coolies, to be used as slaves on the plantations. She was provided with stocks, and arranged In all respects like a slaver. She pro cured her human freight, and, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in completing her voyage in safety, in spite of the obstacles placed In her path by the French Government and the natives. The Muriadl venture proved so remunerative that the company could scarcely curb their impatience and wait for the excitement to die out, before sending for another cargo of coolies. About six months ago, the cotton company purchased the barque Margaret Bram'er, arranged her similar to the Muriadl, and sent her to the Gilbert Islands, tinder the Tahitian flag, after more "laborers" for their plantation. No unusual precautions were taken In equipping the vessel to euable the officers and crew to withstand any outbreak which might take place, and the own ers saw the gallant barque sail away with no appre hension that the voyage would result disastrously. The Brander arrived at the Gilbert Islands In due season, and Immediately set to work procuring the "latwrera" wanted. In doing this, more trouble was experienced than had been anticipated. The natives of the Gilbert Islands are tierce and revengeful, and are bitter In their hatred towardB the whites. At last, however, the complement was obtained, and the vessel sailed away with three hundred men and women. By some means or other the natives dis covered the destination of the Brander, found that they were to be subjected to slavery, and the Mu riadl 's cargo had been converted to that purpose. Instantly they became sullen and eyed their cap tors with a wicked look. Feeling somewhat Inse cure, Captain Blackett, who had charge of the vessel, ordered the strictest watch to be kept of the movements made by the coolies, and all possible precautions for the safety of the vessel, officers, and crew taken. His fears were not groundless, for when some two weeks out the coolios rebelled in the night, killed Captain Blackett, two of the officers, and several men, and charged around the vessel In the wildest fury, hacking their victims In the most frightful manner. While the poor wretches were carrylug on their horrible work of mutilating and disfiguring their victims, tne mate or the vessel managed to secrete himself below, ills absence was soon discovered, and the now half crazed savages set to work to discover hig woere abouts. Mistrusting their Intention, and with a presence . 01 mind seldom equalled, ne placed a keg of powder under the main-hatch and arranged a fuse. Then calling out to the coolies above, he scampered back from the powder as far as possible. When the fel lows bad crowded aronnd the hatchway, and were peerirg down to see him, he fired his fuse, and the explosion which followed killed nearly all on board. The rest were to demoralized that they jumped over board, or fell easy victims to the remorseless war fare waged by the mate and the fow remaining men. Singular as It may seem, the vessel was not so badly damaged that she wonld not float, and the mate suc ceeded in bringing her back to Tahiti. The Cotton Company feel dissatisfied with tlmir investment, but are not discouraged, and It Is currently reported that the vessel Is being fitted up for another urn lac. HYMEN IN LIMBO.

Acnaunt of the hliocli. from the rail ifoti Gazette, Nov, 6. The scene of the late earthquake in Germany ex tends from Grona-Qorau, between Darmstadt and Mavence, to llennef on the north, Qeluhansen and Ascbaifenbnrg on the east, Reniagen on the west, and Uelbronn and Stuttgart on the south. Tha strongest Knocks were feit at Gros-Gerau and at Stuttgart. . At the latter place they were preceded by intense cold, and followed by a sadden increase of . UHuperatwe wiU Uikfc fogs. Toe carta quake wns also felt at Wiesbaden, at Frankfort, knd at Saarbrucken, where two very powerful shocks, lasting from eight to ten seconds each, occurred last Monday at 8-40 A.M. and imp. M. A letter from GlesBen, dated the 1st instant, says that on the previous evening, aboat a o'clock, a swaying motion was perceived from east to west, and the shock was so severe that people rose from their chairs, and the pen fell out of the writer's hand. Accounts from Frankfort state that tho earthquake was felt there at 1140 P. M., on Sunday, and that It lasted ten minutes. Windows rattled, various arti cles of furniture were moved ont of their places, the ceiling of a house fell In, and many of the In habitants were so alarmed that they came out into the streets. At Gros-Gcrau, which was the central point of the earthquake, nearly 200 shocks were between the ittth of October and the 2d of November, during nearly tho whole of which time incessant rumblings were heard. The first severe shock occurred on the 30th, at 8 o'clock P. M., and was followed by others at 11 B0 P. M., and at 1 o'clock A. M., 12-16 P. M., and 8-45 P. M., on the 81st. At 6-20 on Sunday evening there was so violent a shock that several chimneys fell, lamps and bottles rolled over, and horses broke out of their stables. All these shocks were pre ceded by a noise like the roll of distant musketry : they came with a wave-like motion, going sometimes from north to south, but mostly from west to east. SPECIE PAYMENTS. The Attorncv-Genernl nnd Ills Views .Senator Nnmner not Content. The publication of a book on our national finances by the Hon. E. G. Spauldlng has elicited the follow ing letters: LETTER FROM ATTOHNEV-OENERAL TJOAR. Washington, Oct, 15, 166!) Hon. E. G. Spauldlng My Dear Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th Inst., and with it a copy of your "Financial History of the War," for which I desire to return my thanks. The constant pressure upon my time has prevented me from giving the book more than a cursory in spection, but it seems to be a valuable contribution to our linanclal history, and throws considerable light upon the Important question of a return to spe cie payments, I am one of those who believed that It was the Interest as well as the duty of the nation to return at once to the true and solid standard of value as soon as active hostilities ceaued: that we should have treated the enrrency as we did our army regarding the volunteers and greenbacks as alike necessities of war, to bo dispensed with as fast as possible on the return of peace. I think we made a great mistake In not doing so; that the shortest method was the safest and best; that the only way to reach the object Is by a Bteady and persistent con traction of the currency a painful process when ever it comes, no doubt, but harder and worse for us the longer It is delayed. I hope that Congress will address itself with courage and constancy to the solution of the problem as soon as It meets; and will leel assured that the American people have intelligence enough to sup port those who do It. My views on tho subject aic of little importance to anybody, but, as an American citizen, I should be sorry and ashamed to tlud ray country unable and unwilling, In a time 01 peace aud prosperity, to provide for its over-due paper. Very respectfully. K. it. hoar. LETTER FKOH HON. CFIARLKS 8UMNBR. Boston, Aug. 3, 18(19. My Dear Sir: You have done a good service in preparing your book; nor is there uuybody to whom this duty belonged more than yourself. In nil our linanclal trials, while the war was most menacing, you held a position of great trust, giving you opportunity and knowledge. The first you used at the time most patriotically, and the second you use now for thu Instruction of the country. I am not content with the long postponement of specie payments. I beileve that the time has come for this blessing, and J begin to be Impatient when I see how easily people find excuses for not accept ing It. Believe me, dear sir, very faithfully yours. CUAK1.ES SUMNEK. Hon. E. G. Spaulding. GENERALITIES. Banking Capital Needed In the Mouth. Frmti the Atlanta (tfa.) Intelliyencer, A'ov. 11. Before the war It required a banking capital of 1200.000,000 to remove tho crops of the South. Ac cording to the AuguBta Chronicle and Sentinel, the present banking capital of the South "is not much over 110,000,000." ilow immense the disparity I No wonder that cotton and rice, sugar aud tobacco, staple productions of the South, this year footing up an aggregate of $400,000,000, are subject to such in fluences as "Rings" in Wall street exercise over them keeping prices down by withholding the means to transport them to market. The South must have more banking capital. If the national bank system will not furnish it, she must seek it abroad and at home from capitalists who only want to know that such Investments will be safe aud profitable to fur Dish It. But until the reconstruction of the Southern States becomes a llxed fact, we need not expect aid from capitalists in any quarter. The Japanese In California. From the San h'rancixco Alia. The agent of the Japanese colony says we may be assured that the colony has planted itself hero and means to stay. The balance of the colony ho ex pected soon front Japan.

He bringj 4w)0 chestnut trees and a bushel of seeds of the same tree. ThiB invoice Is lor sale and distribution. We are not at liberty to say much in advance, but this is sure, that a great many Japanese people, stlinu lated by letters from the Aldzu colony now here and by other means, have resolved to leave their country mid make their permanent home In California. They are intent upon introducing new agricultural lndus tiles aud upon becoming citizens of the country. Ar rangements are perfected to keep thein out of the hands of the land speculators, so that class of people may jnst as well save themselves the trouble of run ning after them. The Japanese are as intelligent as we are ; they are brave, industrious, and economical. They have a sort of co-operative principle which maintains the dignity of labor and takes away much of its subservience. They will win universal respect by a sort of heathenish habit they have of minding their own business. LEGAL IUTELLianrJCE. Court of Oyer and Terminer Judge Felrce and PaxNou.

AVbeu we read the account of tUe punish ment Indicted on the savages who murdered Mr. Powell and hl8 family In Abyssinia, it Is impos sible not to feel how severe that punishment has been; five villages, we hear, numborloir. fifty-two houses, were set fire to and razed to the ground, fourteen hundred head of cattle were captured, and eight Shangalla savages were killed. As one of those wore the murdered Mr. Powell's coat, ho, and probably tho others, richly de served their fute; hut the women and children, who must have been left houseless and without food by tho burning of the villages and the cap ture of the cattle, are in a dillerent category, it is possible that these harsh measures were un avoidable; but it must bo remembered that Mr. Powell acted with great imprudence in ventur ing to penetrate an uncivilized country for his own amusement, and that if some of the roughs of London garroted and murdered a foreigner who trusted himself in their company it would be considered rather harsh to burn fifty-two houses in YYhitechapel. Yet this, assuming the accounts to be correct, is not all that was done in Abyssinia to avenge the murder of Mr. Powell and Lis family. SECOND EDITION LATEST DY TULDGIIAPIJ.

( The suspension of business yesterday has aug mented the ranks of borroweis to-day, and the usual haunts of Indigent men are pretty lively with the "mendicants," lor such they are, seeking the almighty dollar. The anomaly of 6 per cent, on "call loans" and the minimum of 12 per cent, on "time" is the most conspicuous feature of the market, and It shows conclusively that there Is something "rotten In Denmark," and that our hanking system should be thoroughly overhauled. W hen money can be had inntanter by corrupt or reckless speculators at six per cent., and business Interests are mulcted in twice or thrice the amount for the same, It la high time that the entire system should be wiped out or subjected tt a palingenesis which shall pre vent Its odious form from luture recognition. Busi ness men,it is satisfactory to kno w.have the remedy In their own hands, and if they do not use It to protect themselves, they deserve to be "shaved.'' It Is not the brokers nor speculators thut sustain the banks or make the wealth upon which these, corporations grow fat, and those who may have made themselves conspicuous for their extreme seltlshuess3 Bhould be kindly reraemtieved when the positions shall be rela tively reversed. Gold Is extremely quiet, and the tendency of the market is decidedly downwards. The sales opened at 126, and closed at noon weak at l'2t!B. In (lovernnients there is absolutely untiling doing, and for some reason or other we have no New York quotations up to noon. .

The following extracts show the state of the New York money market yesterday : From the llcraW. "To-day being the festival of Thanksgiving was a close holiday In financial nuarters. T House, the banks, and the publio offices were closed and business completely suspended. The Stock Ex. change aud the Gold Hoard adjourned from Wednes- uuy aituiuouu iu niuuy morning. "It is a noteworthy feature of the Minna that lb. history of Wall street has seldom shown so curious a condition of the money market as Is there pre sented Just now. We are now, In the middle of No vember, In the height of what heretofore has been the most active and most stringent season. Taking the nearest illustration, the same season in 180S money on call was worth all sorts of extravagant rates, while the banks were so impoverished that they exhibited but ten millions above the legal re serve when their liabilities were In the vicinity of two hundred millions of dollars. We have had of course, a recurrence of these high rates since. In the week or two succeeding tho September pauio there was even greater aggravation to borrowers -but the reason this time was not the scarcity of funds so much as the fears of lenders, many of whom, rather than risk their money at such a time, kept It unemployed. The panic, however, has gone by, and much of its worst features have been buried In that oblivion to which Wall Btreot soon consigns every thing. The time has come around again for active money. The lenders who have been waiting all sum mer and fall for an eighth aud quarter per cent, per day have iieen grievously disappointed. Six weeks of tne active bvouuu nave gone iij mm 11 in impossible to obtain more than the legal rate of lntereHt. The fact is, active money has been discounted. Wall street always discounts events long beforehand. The capitalists who formerly were content to employ their money in various enterprise building con tracts, bonds and mortgages, and the like have been tempted by the prospect of earning big rates of interest without any trouble or vexation, simply by lending it at a wide margin on coiiatoiala. Hundreds have done this thing, and the conse quence is the speculators of Wall street have at their disposal every day millions of idle capital. The lenders still hang on, waiting for some thing to turn np. It is too late now to draw out their money, and go bact to their old work. Winter .! f jjnd, and with it a check to operations. Bene n is that the movements in Wall street towards ac tlvlty are only spasmodic. One day in a wee the bears' create a little activity, but there it ends. An money rises in the Interest rate there is asnowerof it ready to be lent. The banks now hold over twenty three millions in excess of the legal reserve; the demand from the West, even if the crop movement should take a steady and decided character, cannot but require a limited amount, as the valuation of the crops Is generally reduced bv the decline In gold -. the purchase by the Government of over seventy millions of its bonds has set free some eighty millions of capital invested in them ; the South will be less urgent this winter, for the reason that the Southern merchants are beginning to ship direct from Southern ports, while the reduced price ot the staple will not require as much money for its movement, not to speak of the fact that the South has already grown quite rich and can handle a large proportion of tho crop wkhout our assistance. The indications are, therefore, that the Shylocks will miss their usual pecuniary festivul thls'w inter. It Is certain that artificial Influences only can render the money market stringent. If some of our present abundance of money could be Imparted to neighboring money marts It would, in the long run, redound to the benefit and profit of our city, for then there would be more activity In legitimate business. As it Is, the money Is all concentrated In Wall street, where it is lent on Btock nnd bond collaterals. The merchants feel the disproportionate distribution very keenly. Their paper Is subjected to all sorts of high rates, to pay which takes away the profits of legitimate business. Tho mania to lend money on call will eventually cure itself, when in midwinter the Interest rate gravitates to two and three per cent. It wonld not bo surprising If merchants' paper, which now passes with difficulty at twelve, should then be sought for six per cent," Philadelphia Trade Report.

A military correspondent at Verona sends us the following observations on the present Btate of the Italian army: '-If any one who saw tho Piedmontese troops before the campaign of compares them with tho Italian troops of to-day, be will hardly be able to find words to express the fall extent of the contrast between them. The tenacity, adaptability, discipline, and general efficiency which characterized the army of Piedmont have nearly all disappeared now that it has become the army of United Italy. The Italian is blugiilarlv plastic and very intelligent, so that he is easily 'drilled; but In the army as it now exists, though there are plenty of ' ' clever and well-instructed soldiers, that most ' Important quality of a soldier, discipline is almost entirely wanting. The men are un ruly and disobedient, and the otllcers careless. I hnd an opportunity of watching the infantry at tbo great mami'iivrcs this autumn, and found their marching slow aud Irregular; tho men ap peared decidedly below the average In Intelli gence, and not held well in hand by their offi cers. The slightest effort seemed to throw them ' Into disorder, and the number of stragglers wus i extraordinary, j The Lombards used to pass for Austria's best soldiers, but, like the .Venetians ' and PiedmontcBo,, they have been dispersed over tho entire army, and, Instead of Improving the ' efficiency of the regiments Into which they have ' been drafted, appear to have themselves dete riorated. The cavalry also leave much to be de- ! ; sired. Like the infantry, they are easily fatigued - though the nature of tho Italian service renders long marches Indispensable; they are bad riders, nnd they are badly mounted. As for , the artili lery, which is still composed mostly of Pied- ' montese, It is as excellent as ever." ' ' ' ' LATEST SniPPDfG INTELLIGENCE." For additional Marine Neat tee Ineide Page.
