The Progress of Garibaldi. The continued success of CrXEiUALm iuhis .noble mission of diponttoaUingSouthem Italy ftom the dominibuoi'tliemoatintplqrableand cruel deepotiam that ever existed, isooe ofthe most remarkable und fortunato events .of ’'modern'times. The tyrants 6f Europe ibrtiiy themselves so strongly upon their thrones,that it rarely happens that any organization which is not openly aided and strengthened by the whole power of an antagonistic Government can successfully resist their power. The contest in Northern Italy, which termi nated in the annexation of Lombardy to the dominions of Vipxox , Emmaxuei, was of a widely different character fVom the present one; for, although Garibaxdi then led the advance guard, and aroused his countrymen to rovolt against the Austrian despotism, he bad quickly following upon his footsteps the mighty armies of'Saidinia and France, without whose aid all his daring attacks would have beon entirely fruitless, and,the struggles of his compatriots vain. " It is true that aid has been extended to him by his countrymen in his present glorious struggle, but not in an official and regulap form. Those who flocked'to.bis standard did so as filibusters, with,possibly, the connivaneo of, the Sardinian Government, but not as its legitimate soldiers or military representatives. He has fonght his battles for the cause of the people, against desperate disadvantages, with no other aid than such as the people conld in dependontly furnish to him. And, notwith standing difficulties and apparently insur mountable obstacles, which would have ap palled the heart of almost any other general of ancient or modem times, he ; has, achieved an overwhelming triumph in the ißland of Sicily, completely destroying the power of its former tyrant within Its dominions, and now threatens to drive him from his throne, and to rescue Naples as he has rescued her Island sister in bondage. In tfiis importantwork it appears that Ame rica has had at least some share, inasmuch as American vessels were used to transport some of the volunteers who went to the aid of Ga-' ridaldi, and several of our countrymen Ten dered themselves conspicuous in his move ment. The capture, of one of these vessels under unjustifiable circumstances also led Hon- Joseph H. Chanbke, formerly of this city, and now minister at Naples; to demand an ex planation. ’ The toll account of this occurrence will probably form an interesting chapter In our diplomatic history, and we hope it will not prove to bo a discreditable one. The tendency of all tho heroic struggles of Gabidat.di, and the logical consequonce of his success, will be tho annexation' of all' his new conquests to the dominions of Victor Ehkahoel, in deference to the all-absorbing passion for Italian unity which has been en gendered, and which is now the predominant sentiment of tho whole Italian people. It iR singular that a nation which has so long been divided and distracted by its petty rnlers, and thus made a constant prey to the interfererice and intrigues of foreign nations, should have suddenly aroused from its . protracted slum bers, and made such noblo and wonderfnl ef forts to seek in the strength of union a future worthy of the glories of its past history. The spectacle is a' sublime and imposing one) And upon ho people on the earth should it create a deeper and more profound impression than upon the citizens of the United States. While Italy, almost goaded to despair by the' evils which have, in-a great measure, resulted from her territorial divisions, is thus endeavoring to repair her past errors, and redeem her past misfortunes, onr Republic, aftot having en joyed a long career of unexampled prosperity as a united Confederacy, is daily becoming more and more imbufed with sectional feelings, and the disunion sentiment annnally grows moro.arrogant and oxacting. The history of Italy should admonish all parties and all sec tions of the common danger of a separation of the United States, and a dismemberment of onr Union, and remind, all good citizens that its preservation is the highest and most important'political dnty that devolves npon them. .. . . ■ , The:. Democratic' Electoral Ticket. In. another portion of our paper will be found the reply of the Hoh. Bioimed Yaux, jonoAfLthßqlectore at large appointed.by tho Heading ConVeutiu.., ... the infamous propo sition of .the. State, Central Committee. It will bo seen that he very properly announces that he considers himself under ho to comply with wiUcon . orpnizatioivOTg^J» t y t( j Yoto for t j, e regnlor . v °. tho Democracy of the nation— JSuolas and Jomtsos—and for no other can didates. :It is difficnit to conceive of a more unwarrantable assumption of power than, that attempted by a majority of the committee at their late meeting at the Merchants’ Hotel, in thisciiy. The tree object of such auxiliary organiza tions is not to defy the action of the National Convention of- tho party, bnt to seek to pro mote the success of its regularly nominated candidates. AVhenever it seeks to accomplish other objects, it loses all claims.to the confi dence and respect'of Democrats, and its ac tion has no more claim upon their support than the action of the committees of distinct and antagonistic organizations.. The Baltimore Convention was tho proper body to decide who the regular Democratic Presidential candidate should be. It has performed that duty, and the State Central Committee has no shadow of right to attempt to divert the support of tho party to the Secession nominees. If any of the electors chosen at Beading cannot conscientiously support Mr. Douglas, it is their duty to decline to act in behalf of tho Democracy of tho State, and if they are will ing to adhere to the regalar Democratic organization, they should,' like Mr. Vaux, an nounce their readiness to support the regular ly nominated ticket and no other, in the event of their success. Tho combination scheme is radically wrong in itself, and does not deserve, and cannot receive, tho sanc tion of the people. When the Secession ist!! withdrew from the regular Convention they voluntarily severed their connection with the Democracy of tho nation, and os Seces sionists they cannot now bopo to control or infinenco the movements of ihe great national rganlzation, from which all who adhoro to the support of Bueokiesuioc and Lane will ne cessarily he as completely disconnected as if tjiey were friends of Lincoln or Bell. Report of the Prison Agent. The report of the prison agent, Mr. Sira ztis, will be found in another column. It states the startling, thoagh not unexpected fact, that during the last year more than one thousand poysons were; released from prison through'his eiiorts, without their cases having been brought to the cognizance of our crimi nal court, and that many of these prisoners were innocent of any criminal offence what ever, whlio tiio crimes of others were of such a trifling and unimportant character, that after a few words of explanation or remon strance, the parties, through whose agency they were originally incarcerated, cheerfully consented to their release. Although it is gratifying to know that con stant and methodical efforts are thus mode to secure the discharge ftom prison of persons who should not, in justico, be retained there, it is a lamentable fact that so many unfortu nate beings should be unnecessarily tainted with the disgrace of n committal to jail, and the inconvenience, and, in many cases,positive suffering to themselves or their families which must necessarily result from it, simply because they hare not money enough, or sufficient in fluence to resist the summary proceedings of subordinate officers of the, law, and to . pre serve thoir constitutional right to liberty. Wo all knowhow powerless our laws are to-inflict. merited punishment upon a largo class of offenders; who richly doßcrve it, and how ,easy it is for wealthy and powerful crimi nals to set at defiance many of the enact monte on our statute-books; but, from thlg re port, ft is evident that while s lamentable defi ciency, of rigor Is exhibited in prosecutions le gitimately required by tho. peace and welfare of society,, excessive severity la displayed in inflicting: punishment where it is unmerited and unjust. ' While the really guilty go un wbipt of justice, the innocent suffer, and prac tically, it is almost (is easy to. secure tho con. flnement of the poor and' friendless ip our County Prison, for trifling or merely imaginaiy, offences, 1 on . utterly .unfounded charges, as it was In France to obtain a leltre du cacAcf, con signing these who had excited the envy or ha tred of tha powerful to tho Hostile, before that fearful dungeon was demolished by an indl 5 - nant Parisian mob.

Daring the day all the stipendiaries were busily engaged, hot and sultry as it wsa, in efforts to muster the faithful. Navy Agent FJynn was tho ohlef manager, and was assisted In this la* bor of lovo by many of the- new eenterU of the Administration, whose names I for bear mentioning ont of respect for themselves. Money flowed llVe water. A series of banners,. painted, no doubt* by order, and paid ont of the contributions of the cUrfcs, v wUh''the name of Breohlnridge misspelled, was carried totbe dif ferent divisions iu the otty In an old furniture wagon, whloh seemed to have boen hired from JV C. Maguire, the auctioneer. As the afternoon ad vanced, the scene became quite a lively one. The Marini Band, paid like the feat, out of the publio'treasnry, was summoned, and all the drum, mers and fifers were employed to bring up the de legations. The carnival did not commence, until about nine o’clock, and It was really amusing to s*e the various bureaus as they came into} Uae. First we had the Treasury Department, marshalled by that excellent and well-dressed}gentleman, As. sistsnt Secretary of the Treasury, Clayton; then . the Navy Department, under Chief Clerk Welsh ; then tho Post Office' Depart ment, under First Assistant Postmaster General Ring; then the Interior Department, under Chief Clerk Kelly; then tho Attorney General’s office under Captain John Tyler; and last of all, sur rounded by the auxiliary guard supported bytthe Government, delegations from the Star and Cott stitution offices, led by Brigadier General W&llaeh i and the l&to lamented Gen. Bowman. The speeches ; wore all denunciatory of Stephen A Douglas, [• While scarooly a word was uttered-against Abra ham Lincoln. The British flag was painfully pro- minent In the deoorations of the stand. There ■were two reasons for this: First, the British edi tor of the Constitution, who has lately been ap pointed to edit the Disunion organ of Breckinridge and Lane, no doubt ioslsted owbaWng tbe banaer of his country unfurled at a meeting which was intended to propitiate his Qrteon * »pd, xeoondly, because in the'event of the sdfiess of the Disunion lets, they expect in the South t 6 make a treaty with Great Britain, by whloh they will be edabled to defy the.free States. The meeting was opened and closed by old op. ponents of the Democracy, aided by Jefferson Da vis, Albert G. Brown, and others. Col/Florence did the rhetorical fire works, w usuaVand on his motion, the meeting adjourned in procession to vi sit the President, where, as I have stated, after midnight, they .were addressed by that <• venera ble public functionary” in a speech, some three quarters of an hoar long. The President appeared at the window under the portico with his notes in his hand, and surrounded by a body-guard of paid parasites. I.was surprised at the general modera tion and oasdor of bis speech.' Heatarted out with gConfessing that he had a great stumbling block in his road in opposing regular Democratic nominations; that he never had opposed any In his Ufa, therein forgetting that he denounced the nomination of John A. Gamble for Canal Commissioner, in 1340 nnd also that be was on the eve of opposing Big ler in 1851! Then, as if to add insult-to injary, ho proceeded to declare that all Democrats could vote for Douglas or Breokiuridge and still be con sidered Demoorats, inarmuoh as no regular nomi nation hod been made at Baltimore ? This latter assertion is proved to bo-bypooritical by the faot that he is turning out every one of his subordinates who does not awe*rfcaoppose Donglap, on the ground that Douglas Is nof tho regular De mocratic candidate! After ike President had con* oluded, Howell Cobb appeared and delivered a vio lent pro-slavery spoeoh. This Is the first time that any such proceedings have taken plaoe at tho White House Moderate ratification speeches have been made by former Presidents, but'they have always been dignified and courteous. No partisanship, no bitterness has ever before been exhibited. Now, however, disunion is boldly preached from the windows of the Presidential mansion, the Presi dent himself heads an army against ihe Union, and his Secretaries come forward and applaud him ito the echo. Words oannot make the record more i disreputable. Occasional.

AT TUB WHITE IJOUBE—SPKBtB OV WashihotoN, July 10 —Senators Broun and Da vit, and Colonel Tbomae B Florence, addressed the meeting last night, in addition to those Already mentioned. ' •*' A letter was read from D. S Dickinson, saying that be will support the nomination, not only be cause be regards the candidates as personally and politically .worthy, but beoause their nomination . emanates from States whioh can give Democratic volesin Iho electoral college, and because they are, therefore, representatives of thB Democracy pad ita principles. l'bo President, on being serenaded at the White Uouio, made quite a long speech. ITe expressed bis gratification at the nomination of Breokinridge and Lane, beoause they were good end tree men, who would elwayß be found et the poet of dnty, end, above all, beoause they were lovers of the Constitution and the Union, and in favor of equal rights to the people of all sections. He gave the history of the establishment of tbe two-tbird.Tnle in Rational Conventions, whioh was in order to prevent anti-Demooratip States from combining with a,few Democratic, States to nominate a candidate' disagreeable to; tboso States who would have to elect him. STotther; Breokinridge nor Douglas got tho regular two tbirds nomination, hence any Democrat was at liberty to vote for either as be preferred. The President then went at some length Into an argument to show that eaoh citlien of any one State heß tbe same right to the protection of bis property in tbe common Territories with any ciii sen of any other State. When tbe people of a Territory form a State Constitution, then they eon settle the question of slavery for themeolveß. This is sonnd Democratic doctrine, and tbls beantifully harmonizes with tho best interests of all. avoids strife and tnrmoll. and obviates the difficulties heretofore experienced in the case of Kansas. - In ’conclusion, the President said that this wss probably the last political epeoch bo should ever make/ His posltlou rendered it Improper for him to participate in the canvass, although hie heart waeinit. He spoke of the long time that he bed been acquainted with the oily of Washington, and wished ail its citisens uninterrupted health and prosperity. Mr. Cobb, in a few remarks, expressed confi dence in the success of the Breokinridge and Lahe tioket in November, and urged all good Democrats to labor zealously to that end.

Since the tragedy ooourred she has been attended by four or fire doctors, none of whom think It possible for her to recover. Mrs Schumnker has been unoonech-us from the moment of receiving the deadly blows on her bond, and in all probability her reason oven in tbo remotest degree, will never be restorod. I see by the Express that Sergeant Dickson, one of nnr detectives, has arrived from the town of Summit, New Jersey, bringing with him Miss Caroline Sypher. a young lady living with her parents in that town. Mis? Sypher Is supposed to be ap important witness In the double murder which occurred tn tbo Efvhteunth ward on Batur* day night, the 80th ult On that day Mias Caro* Hoe Sypher left her parents in Summit and osrae to tbtacPy to spend the 4»h of July wi*h some friendd. At the time Mr. Walton was shot this young lady whs standing near, conversing with a gentleman named Curds She saw Mr. Walton fall, and at the same time discovered the man who fired the pistol running away. Mr. Curtis followed In parent , and his cries of “rounder” attracted the attention of Mr. Matthews, who joined in the chase, and being a swift runner, soon passed Mr Curtis and was shot when about to grasp the fugitive. Mr Curtis, on seeing Mr Matthews fall to the pavement, stopped almost immediately for fear of mo t ! n£ a similar fate, and in the meantime the murderer kept on and disappeared from bis view. Xhese witnesses will be examined this afternoon. New York Stock Exchange July 10. fftOOUf»»»*, »65....;....100V WOO Vlfcir.ia 8t C 1.... 0 22000MlS ( OUn Ca........

Trot iietweeu Dora Tem ple and Patcliem, Tba great trot between Fldra Temple end George i M. Patchen, for a pt»ree of $2 000, two-mile heat* best two out of three, took place yesterday after* noon, at the Snffolk Park Race Course, Delaware oounty. The race attracted to the apot a large number of spectators, probably some foor or five thousand, who arrived upon the ground by way of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Bail* road, which ran three .special trains, at one, two, and three o’clock, the Darby Passenger Railway, in vehicles, and a great many came on foot. The trains of the Baltimore Railroad company were crowded with passengers, so touch so that the company, having put in service all their available passenger cars, rigged np five freight oars, used for carrying lumber, which were supplied with rough pine board scats, These were all occupied with men going to the ground. The three o’clock train, altogether was nearly a square and a half in length, and contained nearly a thousand passen gers. APPEARANCE OF THE GROUND. Por more than an hour before ibe time fixed for ibe raeo (4 o’clock) there was a large number of persons scattered over the park, some on tbe large stand in front of tbe “score,” others seated In carriages of which there were from three to four hundred within the enclosure, besides & targe num ber outside. Dealers were selling lager beer, ice cream, lemwnade, and other edibles and bibiblea. while all over the enclosure were gathered little groups, throwing away their money foolishly by betting on sweat-ofoth. thimble-rigs, roulette, i three-card monte, a ‘‘lottery.” and o»her devices used bv gamblers to fleece the unwary of their cash. Tbe gambling was carried on io ibe most open and undisguised manner, tbe tables having little piles of money spread out to tempt tbe foolish. From tbe upper atary of the judges 1 stand "we had a flue opportunity of witnessing the move ments of the crowd, and especially the operations of the gamblers. On the sweat-cloth and 41 thim bles ” many bet as high as ten and twenty dollars at, a tlmo, almost invariably losing their money, but ibis seemed to. have little effect upon the crowd, for a fresh supply of “ green ones ” seemed to take tbe plaoe of tho>e who would retire after being “ oleaced out.” Tbe lottery appeared to be a favorite game. The chances were only a quar ter. and during half an hour we counted upwards of forty who came forward and invested theirquattero. Qnt of this number, only throe won a prise, notwith standing tbe oil-cloth table bore. In large le*tero. the words, “ 12pri*fS—29 blanks ” The “ Wanks,” of course, were plus the several amounts that the infers were minus It was curious to observe the effect that the winning of a small snm had upon tbe three who were lucky enough to draw prises. Thev immediately invested tbe money again, and At tbe next or subsequent turn of the dioe.it all reverted to the “bank” How people can be no fool ish as to iD.vest.money in tricks of this kind la moat unsceountflble. The infatuation was upon them. They ventured, and In almost every oase lost their money. Previous’to the rone, there was a phort knock down between Wo. Morphy (who was tried and acquitted for killing a man on board a Glooses* ter ferry-boat a few years ego), and a vonng man who seemed to be “ spoiling for a flvht” After one or two blows had been exchangd, the specta tors and special police Interfered and separated the belligerents before much damage was done *he betting upon th« ro«ntt of the ran* was very ao*iye. -At first bets of $5OO to $BOOl and $l5O to $lOO were freely made that Flora would win ihe-raee.- and.met with ready takers. Before the bones were brought out however, the bets were two to one on Flora, wbiob was by all odds the favorite. Nearly five 'o'clock, the bngie sounded, and the horses were brought out. and trotted up and down tbe course before tbe judves* stand, and each at-' tracked groat attention Flora Is a neat, dapper looking animal, of e**y carriage,, and a beautiful trotter.

Tbe judges paid so attention to these oom> plaints, and after the usual time had eUpsed the horses were brought forward for One f«l?e start was made, and the horses were sent back. On the second attempt both cam* down together, and It prornirod to be a fair “ go,” but at the instant of reaching the jod«es’ stand Patoben “brokenp” badly, when Flora darted ahead towards the first quarter, followed by Pat cben. at,a slow trot. The buffo,sounded for them to come back. This was tne commencement of a seen© of the greatest excitement and confusion. The front of tbo judges* stand was filled by ex cited men, who cursed and swore at them, and threatened to pull them down. Those who had be* on Flora were clamorous for it to he considered r “ go,” inasmuch aa Va’chen bad the advantage in the start at the first heat. They contended al?r ihat the judges had given the word “go.” at th* start for the second heat, and that calling the horses baek because Patchen ” broke up’* at the start showed that the judges were disposed ♦* g T ve him the advantage. 'While this wrangling was going on. Flora was driven round the track once, followed at a gentle trot by Pn’oben, untl ; they ronchnd the judges’ stand. The judges tber ’old them to stop.
