Diplomacy vs. Italian Liberty.
The uneasiness of the crowned beads of Eu
rope at the growing Rawer of GARIBALDI, and
the rapidity with wldeh be conAtiers province
after, province froze
,Young . Bowes, is
nonsly. apparent in the telegrams, corteipond
ence, State papers, 'and leading articles of
the foreign files received by the Adriatic. They
tremble for the stability of their own thrones,
and fear a renewal of the revolutions of 1848.
Already the•" peoples" are aglow with recital,'
of the marvellous victories of the Italian
'patriots, and 'begin to shoti signs of awaken
ipg tai order 'of things. Let Mat
'Hungary Make a startand none can tell where
the movement will terminate. GARIBALDI ftp=
prohends the iverat "from the'diplematie en
tanglements in which Naples now seeks by
411 means left her to draw the other conti
nental Goverements. In his address of thanks
for assistance rendered him by the inhabitants
of Sheffield . in England, he implores them :
"Do not let diplomacy interfere with ns, and
'ltaly will belong to the Italtans-"-Italy will be
united, independent; free t"'
A correspondent of a London paper writes
as follows
That the Court of Naples looks with little hope
on the exertions of its troops,,ls evident from the
mission of the Marquis De la Green. This envoy
has been sent to communicate with the Govern
ments of Franco and England. Rio letter to Lord
John Russell sufficiently indicates the nature of M
De la Green's instructions, whiob, moreover, ore
clearly defined in- a despatch. from Paris. Lnrd
John Russelll answer to Mr. Griffith was to the
effaot that the covey
" had proposed to her hitijesty'a Government that thew
should mediate between the King of the Two mollies
and Garibaldi, and that. if that mediation for the 4.11 , -
Me of obtaining an armistice and prov dine that there
should attack on the mialend. should not be ao
'dented by Garibaldi. force should be used by the Go
vernments of Great Britain and France, with a view of
imposing slush an armistice upon him."
" To that proposition," says Loth John Russell,
aller Majesty's Government have declined to as
sent:" M. De la Greta, in his letter of explana
tion. modifies this statement but very alightiy :
" Whet I requested of the ffovernment of her Bri•
tannle Melee y woe to be good enough in concert with
Fr nee and Piedmont to exercise a pressure upon Ga
ribaldi, with the view of ontalning a real truce for six
months, en that .the negotiations for an alliance with
Piedmont might be brought to an isrue, and that the
meet tit of the- national representation might take
place.
Now, although the Neapolitan envoy says that
the " idea of direotly employing force against Blot
ly " never entered his mind or that of the Govern
ment, be omits to inform us how he proposes that
" a pressure, ehould be exercised" against Oar! ,
halal without same Snob employment of force. It
seems pretty olear that, if the, groat Powers de
' terrains ' to' take this course, material pressure
must be used where moral pressure has been of
no effect. We have now, however, ono of M
De la Gropes, propositions given.with accuracy
It was that an Anglo-French squadron should
cruise off Calabria end Naples, in order to
prevent any invasion by Garibaldi. It seems
that the French Government was not dia•
brained to this interference. The Emperor Na
poleon has enough of the sovereign in him to see
with disquiet the uprising of a people and the tot
tering of a throne He has. also, no particular
wish to see the dominions of Victor Emmanuel any
further extended. Now that he himself has gained
military reputation, and a new lapse of power by
fighting for Hely. the French Emperor has become
conservative, and wishes to see Italians quiet,
whether they be milder a Hapsburg or a Bourbon
But the duty of England is something very differ.
- eat. Our policy, in the Italian question is one of
Conviction. The principle which has been accepted
for the national guidance is that or non-interven
Sion. so far as we interfere it will only be by
counsels and remonstrances ; these will have but
ono end—to insure the Italians being left to them
selves to settle their, off drs in their own way. This
maxim tuts been so often repeated that it may
seem trite, but when we see bow soon it is forgotten
by other nations, and bow little the Neapolitan
envoy believed that we should sot on it, there is no
harm in repeating it."
Irurroi. EMMANUEL himself is not unaffected
by the untoward course of events. But, after
the. important aervices of GAILIBALIM, in
placing Sardinia among the great Powers of
Europe; it is more than strange that the Sardi.
teat King, at the instigation of Naples, should
not only publicly announce his dissatisfaction
with the Sicilian expedition, but boldly
urge' its leader 1,6 remain content with the
freedom of Sicily, at the moment when the
entire Neapolitan despotism totters to ite
fall and the Neapolitan people are expectant
of • 'enfranchisement. VIOTON, EMMANUEL,
doubtless, would have the impression lett
that he has nothing to do with the present
movement, notwithstanding it is undisguised
that the fruit gathered must fall into his royal
lap; 'but while GARIBALDI only asks c' hands
orr,". 'yet one cannot help applying to Sar
dinia's King the ancient adage, that a friend
who does you no good is no batter than an
enemy who does yon no harm.

. 'QUARTER SESSIONS—Judgo Ludlow.—
The business of the August term was ramped yes
tertlay. It was expected that Colonel Cross wou'd
be sentenced, and great anxiety was manifested
by a somewhat numerous crowd to catch a glance
at the distinguished criminal, whose career ofc rim e
has excited so much of the public) attention for the
past few months The disappointment was appa
rent.when the empty dock met the gaze of the
visitor. Owing to the absence from the city of
Judge Allison, the sentence will not be imposed
until the latter part of the week.
Mr. Porter, the tipeteff, who wee directed by
Judge Allison to be in attendance on Monday, was
informed by Judge Ludlow that big case had re
ceived no final decision, and wodld not until the
return of Judge. Allison. who might be expected in
the city_on Tuesday or Wednesday
Judgo Ludlow then remarked that in 'this con
nection he desired to say that during the present
term the officers of the court were expressly ordered
to take no prisonor from the court wept directly
to the prison, and then only in the prison van, if
the removal was after conviotion. A violation of
this order would, he said, be followed by the di"-
missal of the offending officer; and the Judge had
no doubt but that his colleagues on the bench would
continue the order in force during their respective
terms.
As the arena Tory bad acted upon no business

Weary:mow, August 13 —Judge Amy, of Kan
sas. has filed in the General Land Office the ne
cessary papers to obtain the right of way for the
conitruation of a railroad through Southern Kan
sas, to connect with the Galveston Railroad, in
Texas The Commissioner of the General Land
Office has, in conformity with the laws of CongreSs,
granted the necessary instructions to the land offi
cers having control of the lands through which this
road will pass, to reserve the right of way and
fends for depots and water stations. Mr. Amy
left this city to day for Kansas, and with a corps
of engineers who will at once proceed to make a
survey through Kansas, and the Osage and Chero
kee Indian country, with a view of the permanent
location of the road through this Indian territory.
The menstruation of this road will connect the
Western country with the Gulf of Mexico. and
van the travel and resources of a large portion of
country in Kansas, the Indian Territory, and the
States of Texas, Arkansas, and other States, which
is now of comparatively little value. By the con
struction of a railroad from Atchison. connecting
with the Hannibal and St Joseph's Railroad to
Lawrence, and from Leavenworth to Lawrence,
and thence south through the Indian Territory, to
connect with the Texas roads, it is believed that
millions of dollars will be added to the wealth of
the country from the mineral resources whiob have
not been and cannot be developed without the
means of travel and transportation whtoh the
present enterprise is designed to supply.
Thaddeus Hyatt, of the city of New York, Is
here, on his way to the West. He, it is said, goes
to Kansas to inquire into the condition of the
psople of that Territory, who are reported ea on
the verge of starvation from the failing of the
crops.
The statement that a suit has been instituted
against, the Sergeant-at-Arras of the Senate by
Hyatt, is erroneous. His intention is to pro
secute in the htate courts the Individual Senators
who voted for his imprisonment, but these suits
are now necessarily delayed, his counsel having
been iost•uoted to defor them until his return
from the West.

The Emperor's Letter.
[From the London Poet—Palmeretoa's organ.]
Friendly words are always acceptable from a
neighbor, especially when it is in his power to giro
proof of bis intentions and complete our satisfac
tion by deeds. If we are not misinformed, a let
ter has just been received in London which cannot
but insure a bearty.welcome from any Englichman
who may become aware of its contents. An earnest
desire for our alliance, coupled with the praotioal
request that we should work out in Italy and Syria
a united polloy, are subjects worthy of our willing
attention, especially when in the East the firm
maintenance of the Ottoman Empire in its inde
pendence and integrity, and in Italy the renunci
ation and hindrance of all and any foreign inter
vention, are the lives of policy suggested as both
judicious and desirable.
If we add to this that we have reason to believe
that assurances relative to military and naval
strength, of a frank and explielt character, form a
portion of this document it will be readily ad
mitted that we can hardly over-estimate its Im
portance. The thought which would appear to
have guided its author, and which we understand
is repeatedly expressed, is the maintenance of
peace throughout Europe. the development of the
commercial resources of France, and the cultiva
tion of a good understanding and common action
between the two great Western Powers.

The two Democratic nominations for the Prot.

going for Douglas. The /ifornieg Call. in an eel.
ale discussing the prospects Ic this State of the

which may be considered neatly correct: But
there are other reasons why Douglas will, in Cali
fornia, draw greatly from the floating vote of the
State, and especially front that which the Sece
ders' ticket would procure had they nominated
another candidate then Breckinridge. Douglas
nand& eminently clear on the record in regard to
the Pliolllo railroad and all other measures of im
portance to California, whilst Breokinridge was so
successful and persistent is his opposition to a Pa.
ciao railroad. that in 1855 his vote actually killed
the measure after it had been passed A reoonsi.
deration was moved, and the measure was lost by
one vote, that one vote being cast by Breokinridge.
Of course such a anndidate, in opposition to the
progreesive Douglas, will run, with weights to his
feet in this State, and we therefore give Douglas
10.000 more votes. Now we will deduct from the
00 000 which we have given him, 10,000 wash

Benublieen party, leaving him with only
50 000. The inoressed vote will not be over 10 000

realized, and that they do not find so good an open

ligont gentleman, writing to us from David, save :
The prosneeta of the German immigration in Chi
riqui is, judging from the past, gloomy. Hitherto
they have not produced enough to support their
families. The majority would leave if they had the
moans, but, as they have not the wherewithal, they
must make a virtue of necessity, and wait farwhat
the future will bring. The anuses of this failure
are bad roads, lazy and indolent mottos, picayune
markets, general poverty, and the Jealousy of the
native landowners and farmers. Until these ob•
stades are removed, the foreigner can do nothing

VICTOR EMMANUEL'S WITTER.
The following Is said to be the copy of a leer
recently addressed by Ring Victor Emmanuel to
Oen Garibaldi :
GEISERA,r, : You know that I did not approve of
your expedition, and that I was entirely foreign to
it, but to day the very grave oircumstancee in
which Italy Is placed make it a duty to enter into
direct communication with you.
In the event of the Kirg of Naples consenting
to evacunte the winds of Sicily, and voluntarily
abandoning all species of action, and formally
pledging himself to exorcise no pressure whatso
ever upon the Sicilians. so that the latter may
freely pronounce their will, and choose the mode
of government which they may prefer, I believe
it will bo wise in yon to renounce altogether any
further enterprise upon the Kingdom of Naples
In the contrary event, I expressly reserve my en
tire liberty of action. and relieve myself of
making any comment to you In regard to your
projects.
Tho French Journal of Frankfort has the fol
lowing:
" The interview of Toplitz has only been caused
by the necessity of regulating the conditions of
the accord which exists between the two Govern
ments on all the questions pending inxurope.
Those Governments regard the Eastern queition in
the same point of view; that is to say, that, thougli
desiring to contribute for their part to ameliorate
tho condition of the Christians in Turkey, they do
not think necessary to do eo by removing from the
sovereignty of the Porte the provinces in which the
Christians are in a minority ; and they aro itke
wise opposed to the project of France and Rll33l ft
for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. y
"As regards the affairi of Southern Italy, the
both admit the imposelbility of an intervention In
favor of the King of Naples; but they see the ne
cessity of favoring all that can assist that severeign
in marching without embarrassment in the now
path he has traced out for himself, tend en effecting
the reforms which, by coonring him the confidence
of his subjects, would bosoms the host guarantee of
the integrity of his possessions. Finally, the two
Powers, while admitting tho inopportuneness of
the proposed Conference on the annexation of Sa.
voy, are of opinion that the neutrality of Switzer.
laud is not t uffloiently protected by the manner in
which France understends the obligations imposed
On her by the eat of Vienna and the treaty of ces
sion with Sardinia. As to the understanding to
which the two sovereigns may come on the effdro
which exclusively concern the Germania Confede•
ration, wo have many reasons to believe that the
basis of it is settled."
A Berlin oorrorpondont or the Cologne Gazette
writes;
"The meeting at Toplitz bee been prepared end'
arranged by the King of Bavaria. At Baden, in a
confidential conversation with the Prince Regent,
Tang Maximilian frankly expressed all the feel-
Inge agitating the hearts of the Wurabourgera.
The principal aided of this interview was to ttFa
tablish a better understanding between Prussia
and Austria, The Prince Regent frankly ex
premed his sentiments, which all P 111943 partakes
with him, in regard to the outrages which we have
'suffered from Austria during ten years, and espe.
daily within the last year. The Ring of Bavaria
mended the Prince ns to whether he did not be
lieve a pollens' meeting with the Emperor of Aus
tria might facilitate a political understanding or a
closer alliance. The Prince showed himself die
poeed to enter upon these views, hut, at the same
time, insisted on Austria taking the first etop, be
ammo she owed him still a reparation on account of
the Luxembourg manifesto, the erroneous and of
fensive imputations of which she bad never yet
disavowed. Besides, the Prince declared ex
pressly that if the meeting was to take place, no
stipulations could there be brought forward do
signed to fetter the liberty of notion of Prussia
This point, the most important one for a correct
appreciation of the results of the Toplitz Con
ference, has been mnintained by Prussia in the
overtures, preceding the interview, and Prussian
reserve has been clothed in the form of a diploma
tic notion.
"After these preliminary measareeof the Ring of
Bavaria had been arranged, the Emperor address
ed an invitation in an autograph letter, to the
Prince ; and the Prince, after declining the choice
of Dresden and Munich, courteously designated
Toplite as the place where the meeting wee to be
held, and paid no notion to the proposition con
cerning the admission of other German roverages
"In presence of these feete, we may ealmly await
the news of the result of this meeting at Toplitz.
Prussian policy has no more been taken in by
Austria at Toplite than itgave itself up to the
Wurzbourgers at Baden. The Dresden Journal,
in saying that outside of Prussia the Interview is
considered unsatisfactory, admits indirectly that
Prussia hat remained free."

MURDER AT DELTA GROVE.
COLD-BLOODED TRAGEDY!
A RUFFIAN STABS SIX MEN!
DESPERATE FIGHT IN THE WATER
THE MURDERER OVERPOWERED-DEATH
OF THE VICTIM
At a late hour, last evening, a short despatch
came over the polloe•telegraph W 483, elating that
a man named John Uoikey had boon inurdarod nt
Delta Grove; that his murderer was arrested, and
confined in the Camden J) Jsil. Der.nd these
bare facts wo knew nothlng. But, after a cirnuitous
and adventurous trip through some of the barest
purlieus of the Seventeenth and Twentieth wards,
our reporters succeeded in obtaining full particu
lars.
It appears that a pariyealling themeelves "Hot.
tontots "—adherenti of the South Penn Cosa Com.
pany—went on an excursion to Delta Grove, a point
on the Delaware some ten milts north of Camden.
The party comprised persons of both sexes to the
number of two hundred and upwards.
DONS AND RIOTS
Rows were frequent during the day. Ono man
wee stabbed in the morning. Five or six of the
adherents of the Ilibernla Hon accompanied the
party. A man named Keyser, connected with the
United States Hose Company, was observed to be
very quarrelsome. Ile early became intoxicated,
and made numerous efforts to create a disturbance.
Notwithstanding' all 'this, however, no serious af
fray took place until about six o'cirk: in the eve
ning. -
Ell=lE3
About that time, and while the party were en
gaged In packing np and preparing to embark on
board the bout, Keyser seized one of the party
and struok 'him. A violent controversy followed,
which was participated la by a number of mon,
when, it is alleged, Keyser palled out a dirk knife,
rushed upon John Hockey, and with seine° blow,
stabbed him through the breast to the heart. Hookey
continued on his' teat, throwing atones and clubs
ter a short time,. ignorant of the fact that be had
been stabbed, until the blood was noticed on his
clothing by his companions. lie disrogarded their
admonitions, however, and wont on fighting for
about ton minutes, *hen ho fell dead.
FLIOUT OF 'air MURDERER
Keyser, who had maintained his ground previous
to the fatal termination, now turned horror stricken
from the scene, sped to the Delaware, and plunged
in. He swam a few hundred feet from the shore.
A number of the c. Hottentots," however, deter
mined upon revenge for their murdered eon).
panion, pursued him. Ho made desperate efforts
to drown himself, bat was overtaken, and badly
beaten by the infuriated crowd. He was finally
captured by a man named Burke, and brought
safely to the shore.
A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER
While the riot was progressinz Repor le said to
have stabbed six other men. Edward Ta 5.10, ono
of the " Hottentots," was out over tho eye, and
William Cush received a painful flesh wound in the
thigh. -
THE REMAINS OF THE MUDDENTD )IA
The dead body was not brought to this olty last
night. Wo visited the relatives of Ilookoy on Philip
st. , near Columbia avenue, at a late hour, and found
them unaware of his death. Some of them took
the affiir very stolidly. Coo of bla brothers ex
hibited some feeling. Ills exproulons, however,
wore mingled with so much blasphemy, that wo
were rather disgusted than moved
KEYSER. AND HOCKBY'S ANTECEDENTS
Koper was just twenty ono years old yesterday.
The anniversary of hie majority was Signally
marked. Ho is raid to have boasted during the
morning that he murdered a man a year ago, hut
e•eeped the law through the it fiaence of his friends .
A brother of Hockey, It is alleged, wee likewise
concerned In a cold•blooded mur ler at a firemen's
riot some nine years age, in which a young man
named Myers was killed. The murdered man
died on the stops of the Mount Vernon Mouse, in
Second street. Many of our readers will doubtless
remember the occurrence.
KEYSER'S PREPARATIONS on VIE rio sic.
It is rumored that Koyeer went to the pio•nlo
Hilly armed. Ho produced a revolver during the
combat, and snapped It eovoral times at the heads
of his azeallante.
All the parties who figured in the offair are
either members or adherents of the Hibernia,
William Penn, and United Stotts Hose Companies.
Keyser took with him five of his comrades.

owe nEronTann 00 ADVINTOSINO
,To procure the details we have given above was
not an easy task. It was nearly twelve o'clock
before our reporters sallied out. They took the
last Third-street oar, and nervously awaited their
arrival at Columbia avecuo, at the junction of
which with Philip street the murdered man was
belioied to reside with his brother Tho streets
were still muddy and damp from the recant rain,
the clouds were dark and the sky starless, while a
dense fog or mint rose from the gutters and vacant
marsh lots. The locality selected for our rambles
was noted for its bad repute.
We dismounted from the oar at Second street
and Columbia avenue. Not a light could he seen.
The groggerles were shut and the streets were
desolate. -
We rambled through Philip street—a narrow,
povertystrioken alley, blocked up with sundry
carts—and as our feat echoed along the deserted
pavements, every mastiff and our bellowed huskily
on the night air. At length we saw a light glim
mering through the window of a dwelling at th
corner of Washington or Railway street and Co.
tumble. avenue.
We rapped nerrounly at the door and a woman's
head was whored from tho window.
A SINGULAR. CONVERSATION
"Do you know a man named John llookoy,'
said our anxious reporter ?
" And Ido know him well!" eeid the not no
kindly voice.
" lie has been murdered to-day, and we are
anxious to find his dwelling."
" Wisht !" said the woman, with a short, feeling
howl—" John Hockey dead? Oh ! childer, you
have kilt me entirely." And the woman could be
heard to weep as she hid her head in her apron.
She raised it again in a moment and continued :
" Poor John Hockey ! And is he murdered ? Ow,
ow, Pm clean gone. The poor follow that never
did nobody harm, and was loved by every Ander.
Oh! boys, boys—does his poor father know It ?"
Wo were somewhat affected with this honest but
unaffected grief. Still, it is not a reporter's duty
to delay. We begged the old woman to eend her
husband with no to Hockey's residence. Ile was
away, but she would go horPolf or Fend one cf the
boys. The' latter bad already thrust their heads
through a third-story window. Our conference
had wakened them from a sound rap. Oro of
them dressed at once, and In a few , minutes stood
beside us upon the pavement with his mother.
The latter still vociferated I. Childers, Widen,"
is her pathetic way, and went on to enumerate
the good qualities of John Hockey. 110 was as
good a follow as ever llvod, Lot drunkenness
had kilt him. Such a man to gain the hearts of
the ohilders, and an honest laboring man that
never quarrelled, and was always patient.
TDB BROTHER OF THE DECEASED
By this time we stood in Philip street, beneath
the residence of the brother of the murdered man.
There were no indications of a sensation within. The
shutters were closed and the place as still es the sleep
of the unfortunate vietim The women's son rapped
smartly at the door. No reply. Again, and again,
and louder. At last we catch the tread of foot•
falls. The oath goee up. The shutters are thrown
open. Two nightcaps peep over the white sill.
" re John Elookey bore?" said our reporter. "No,
be isn't in," wee returned, with a strong Woolen
accout. "Have you hoard of him to.day ?" "No,
we have not."
"Wo Intro bad news for you. Ho is dead
Murdered !"
The woman's; voice might have been heard to
quiver, but the brother took the matter very
000lly Ile prooeedod to ask questionn in a very
deliberate manner, and finally came to the oonolu•
don that It was not hie brother. Wo wore about
giving up in despair. We bade our guides good
bye, and again departed through the lonesome
street.
Far down the distance, In Jefferson street, we
raw a bright light as of burning coats, and beard
the belch of steam. It was the Good Intent Ru•

pushed, toward it. /list! With measured tread
and an occasional itugh a crowd of mon march
slowly toward us. Are they bear ing the holy of
John Hockey? They are Bremen. We press past
Goias. Two or three horribly guised fellows
skulk in our wake as we cross a vacant lot and
the thing grows unpleasant.
Nobody at the steam engine knows anything of
the murder of John Hockey. Wo turn disconso
late. Where shall we go? There to a tavern
open. We prose toward it. On the corner Blends
a stout, powerfully.frarned man. Ile tom towards
