Garibaldi’s Englishman.
One of the most remarkable men during tho
Italian War of 1859, was Captain Poard, com
monly known as “ The Fighting Englishman.”
At one time we thought lie was identical with
a certain Robert Foard, of Coolrus, (in the
county of Cork, Ireland,) who had been our
schoolfellow,-but it appears that lie is a Corn*
islmian. A county-man of his was the famous
Jack the Giant-Killer, the hero of childhood’s
romance, who was honored with a golden col
lar, on which was inscribed:
“This is tho valiant Cornish man
Who slew tho giant Connoran.”
During the Italian Wav, Captain Pcnrd, who
is an excellent shot, attached himself to Ga
ribaldi’s roving corps of volunteers, and em
ployed and amused himself by using his rifle
whenever the appearance of even a solitary
enemy gave him a chance. Ilis aim was fatal,
lie scarcely ever pulled the trigger, but—down
fell his man. Immediately, with as much non
chalance and coolness as if lie were having
ball-practice at home, he would rc-load, never
moving an inch from his position, tllOllgli tilC
answering balls of the enemy often whistled
by him. Last year, when Garibaldi was iu
possession of 'Naples, lie was rejoined by
Peard, to whom he gave the command of the
British Legion, and he held this all through the
campaign, until the fail of Capua. The Itali
an’s who admired liis skill and audacity, gene
rally speak of him as “ Garibaldi’s English
man.”
Having recently returned home, he was en- j
tertained, on the sth of this month, by a num- j
her of friends, 185 iu all, at a dinner at Ty
wardreath, in Cornwall, the entertainment be
ing given in a marquee belonging to a cricket
club, and the streets of the little town were
gaily decorated with arches and evergreens.
After dinner, the health of the guest was pro
posed by the chairman, as “his old friend and
companion, and the neighbor of his hearers,
said lie had known him when lie was only j
‘little Johnny .Peard s —in fact, from his
youth till now; and he could say, without
contradiction, that a braver boy, a more gene
rous, or a cleverer boy, he did not know. lie
always would tight. But he was always'gene
rous and always true.” Captain Peard made
a speech, which fills over a column of small
type hi a London paper, and a straight-for
ward, manly, earnest, aud sometimes eloquent
speech it was. It opened, of course, with
compliments to his native Cornwall, and then,
equally of course, eulogized the Volunteer
movement in England,—particularly praising
the adaptability of -Cornwall for defence. “In
it,” ho said, “ the Volunteers might defy any
army that 'could be brought against them.
They would defy any army to pass through
such a country. lie did not care how strong
they might be in cavalry or artillery. Volun
teer Rifles, who knew how to stand together in
fours, sixes, tens, or dozens, with the Artillery
Volunteers occupying the passes, would defy i
any army to go through that county.” He
forgot to mention, however, that. Cornwall is !
not a locality into which an invading army '
would willingly venture. After this sacrifice
to the genius of Buncombe, Garibaldi's Eng
lishman proceeded to give the result of his
observations in and experience of Italy. On
this subject lie was perfectly at home, and wo
purpose giving some of his well-delivered
points.
in is-59, be said, he went out as a Volunteer
with General Garibaldi to Italy, and there
were opposed to them, 3,000 men in all, 0,000
of the oldest veterans of the Austrian army,
with artillery and cavalry: “ AYell, what did.
they do ? They went at them. TJiey at- =
lacked tlieir.tuUUfiKjq witl*' ttci#’ tiavouetsf vpft*'
put them to flight. They heard no more" of
them that day. Of the cavalry they saw hut
very little. Of those men (Garibaldi’s) none ■
had been enrolled two months, and some not
more than three weeks! They shivered these
0,000 foes. They pursued them more than
four miles, and some of them retreated as far
as twenty miles. The following day they fell
in with 10,000 of tli* enemy, whom they like
wise put to flight. Why ? The Volunteer
was fighting for liis home, wife, child, mother,
and sister. Tho others were the paid soldiers
of a tvrannous house.”
au2l-12t*.
Hero we pause, to remark that what Peavd
said of Garibaldi’s Volunteers is ■ applicable to
the gallant defenders of Constitutional Govern
ment in this country who have so cheerfully
abandoned tlieir various occupations, literally
to fight for their home, wives, children,
mothers, and sisters. The righteousness of
.their cause Will nerve their arm and 'steady
their aim. It is impossible that such a cause
can fail, —impossible, because of the justice of
tlse Creator, which, sooner or later, sets all
things even, and must eventually give triumph
to the right, defeat to the wrong.
Captain Heard mentioned instances of Aus
trian misrule in Italy, which, hut that an accu
mulation'of evidence hears him out, would ap
pear-mere creations of a wild fancy. The
Austrians made the Italians pay for the sticks
with which they heat them, and after the flog
ging sent in the hill to the family. IVc have
no doubt that the Southern traitors would do
the same—if they had a chance. But, he ad
ded, the House of Bourbon in Naples exer
cised a tyranny yet more abominable “At
Palermo they liad iron caps and screws with
which they tortured. People were hound in
iron chains, and pans of heated charcoal were
put to their feet! This was to extort confes
sion . One act of torture was especially savage.
It was performed by Maniscalchi, the head Of
the police at Palermo. He wanted to get
some information with regard to the males of
the family. He took the mother and a child,
put one on one side of the room and the other
on the other side of the room, and then told
the mother that if she would not confess slio
should see the child die before her eyes. Tcfc
when Garibaldi got possession of Palermo,
this Maniscalchi actually came to him and
begged of him that he would protect him,
and Garibaldi did protect his life. This Ma
hiscalelii put oil a red shirt to screen him, aud
lie was taken to tlio fortress.” It is a pity he
was not hanged, after first having his head
screwed in an iron cap, his feet burned with hot
charcoal, and the lasli liberally applied to his
body, as lie had often laid it on the tender
frames of women and children.
In no part of Italy, except Sardinia, was
there law or freedom, Captain Peard says,
and we know that he speaks the truth, lie
thus described the judicial system:
“ What did they think the salaries of the judges
in 'Southern Italy were ? [Hear.] The judges of
the second class —he didn’t knew what they would
call them—got £3O a year. [Great laughter. |
They only got £36 a year. | : oh!’| But it was
paid quarterly. He didn’t know, it might be paid
monthly. (Great laughter. | Could they expect a
judge to support himself and his family as ho ought '!
| A laugh.] But he (the judge) kept his carriage
and horses. f‘oh!’| He lived as a judge ought to
do. l‘Oh'.’j Could he do it out of £36 a year?
No, he did it by taking bribes from his clients. lie
went to tho district where ho was appointed. He
called on the butcher and said, ‘very glad to seo
you. |A limgh-] I am come here as judge.’
p Oh !’ J He says, 1 Signor, I am very happy to see
yon.’ * You may be engaged in some quarrel with
those who deal with you.’ ‘Yes,’ says the butcher,
1 very probable, Signor Judge.( ‘ Well, 1 says
Signor the Judge, ‘I shall deal with you [alaugh|
—I shall have my meat of you.’ |T.nughtor.l 'A
very high honor. Signor Judge. ’ replies the butcher.
The judge walks away and pays nothing for his
meat, but ho always gives his decisions in faror of
tho butcher. So hefSignor the J edge) goes through
every department of trade. Such was the effect of
appointing such officials upon such stipends. The
Government wished to show that they were cwry
, ing on tho Government in a very economical way.
But they pocketed immense sume. [‘Oh!’] That
was a sample of the Government they had in Italy.”
In Italy? as in other places, there is great
waste of public money. Mr. Pcarcl mentioned
how they made roads there—which heats our
provincial jobbing far out of the field. In Si
cily they commenced a road between Palermo
and Messina. It was to he 260 miles long, but
of this 60 miles yet remained to he completed.
Yet. they began it in 1822, and Government
had drawn, in taxes, for the purpose of making
it, £18,000,000 sterling! That was for making
260 miles, 60 of which were still to he made,
or at least over which wheels could not go.
One hundred and ninety miles completed, at
a cost of 18 million pounds sterling, amounts
to' the moderate price of $173,085 per mile.
At present (bore are about2o,ooo miles of rail
way completed in the United States, the total
cost of which maybe set down approximately
at $1,000,000,000 —making each mile cost $38,-
401. Therefore, nearly eleven miles of rail
road might have been built in America, for tho
money which the unfortunate Sicilians had to
pay for a single mile of ordinary highway.
This appears incredible—but is true. The
wonder is that, long ago, the Italians did not
revolt against such exacting and oppressive
tyranny and robbery as tins.
Respecting the reception of Garibaldi in
Naples, which has been variously represented,
ami misrepresented, Captain Peard says
“Garibaldi came a distance of 150 miles to
Naples, and lie was only accompanied by eight
followers. lie had no soldiers within 100 miles
of him. The whole city rose as otic man to
receive and welcome him. The troops of the
laden dynasty were in the fortress, looking
through the embrasures. lie (Garibaldi)
went through the city, under the very guns of
the fortress, hut there was no hostile shot.
All that was heard was the cry of ‘ Liberty!’ ”
“A fellow-feeling makeSone wondrous kind,”
and therefore it is not surprising to find Cap
tain Peard defending the Neapolitan brigands.
The present brigands ho denounces as robbers,
as the miserable creatures of King Francis,
as cowardly assassins, equal to any cruel work,
who were guilty of every enormity, and pillaged
and destroyed what they could. “ But,” and
here the sympathy of llxe roving guerilla comes
into play, he enthusiastically exclaimed, “ But a
finer, honester set of brigands than those of Cala
bria could not exist!” One would like to know
whether Peard’s neighbor, Mr. Pendancs, for
merly -M.-P. for Cornwall, who was captured
by these “ fine, honest fellows,” aud kept in a
cave for three weeks until a large ransom was
paid for him by liis friends, exactly shared in
these commendations of Ins captors ?
On the capability of Italy for supplying
hnnp. silk, cotton, live-oak. corn, oats, and
barley, in exchange for manufactures, Captain
Peard spoke warmly.
He mentioned an anecdote of the exiled
Grand Duke of Tuscany very characteristic of
that addle-headed gentleman. The College of
Pisa sent him a memorial proposing that Go
vernment should educate men according to the
respective talent they displayed. They thought
that if a man displayed any particular talent
for painting, sculpture, &c., just as his natural
talent seemed to point out, that he should be
so trained. The reply vouchsafed to this ra
tional request, was simply that “ the Grand
-Duke was astonished to hear that any officer
of the Government should propose for a mo
ment that the people were to be educated be
yond their sphere!” Therefore, according to
the Grand Duke’s theory of man, it was that
lie should remain in precisely the same situ
ation in which he was born, and, although he
might be the son of a goatherd or a shepherd,
yet he must still continue a goatherd or a
shepherd, though he might have the genius
for painting of a Giotto.
The opinion of Garibaldi’s Englishman upon
the condition and prospects of Italy, is enti
tled to some consideration- IVe give it in
fall: .
“ It was thought by some it was a great pity that
the Italians did not at once get Vcnetia —that they
had not yet got Iho Venetian territory. He held it
a great thing for Italy that she had not yet got
Venice. He looked at it very much in the light of
the injunction that was given to the Israelites of
old. that they should not at once drive the Canaan
ites out of the Promised Laud. Having the enemy
before them, they were not likely to be identified
among them’. For too many years Italy had been
split up into petty States, It had always been the
policy of her masters to keep her divided. He
held at as the great safety of Italy for the next
three or four years that they should not get the
Venetian territory, lie firmly believed that that
country being in the hands of the Austrians was ono
great means they had of consolidating the kingdom
of Italy. They did not want at present to fight.
That Was not the object of Italy. They wanted
peace, that they might organize. They wanted, as
he said,.to have schools, to have roads, that they
■'blight coifiinunicaim to make the people acquainted
with each other, l’hoy wanted to develop tho re
sources of the countrj’. They (tho Government)
wanted to Improve the people by bringing forward
and carrying into effect good measures.”
This is a new theory, but there seems a good
deal of common sense in it. IVe believe that
Cavom-’s policy tended that way, and that his
successor also means to carry it—if he can.

Dead Sir : In several late numbers of your
journal my paper has been named, in connection
with several other Pennsylvania prints, which
you style “Breckinridge papers,” as being in
sympathy with the Southern traitors. Here, at
home, where the general tone and character of my
paper are known, a charge so palpably unfounded
needs no refutation. But, lest it should mislead
those who have no direct knowledge on the subject,
I ask permission to say to them, through you, that
it does me great injustice. I make this request
with some degree of confidence, because I shall be
lieve, until convinced to the contrary, that you
weuld not do me an intentional wrong. That I
supported Mr. Breckinridge for the Presidency is
true; and I did so, simply because I believed that
the platform upon which he then stood —the Consti
tution. and the equality of the States under the Con
stitution—was the only one by which the Union
could be preserved, in its original spirit and in
tegrity. I believe so yet. But it by no means fol
lows that I agree with him in the sentiments he
now holds. On the contrary, in my paper of the
27th of duly, I expressed “deep regret” for Mr.
Breckinridge's present course, and confessed that
my confidence in his attachment to the Union was
shaken. The friends of Mr. Douglas also sup
ported Hersehel V. Johnson for Vice President, and
were proud to recognize as their leader Alexander
11. Stephens. Because both these men have turned
traitors to the Union, it would be just as
fair to denounce all Douglas men as in sym
pathy with them, as it is to accuse those
who supported Mr. Breckinridge as a Union
man, with being now Disunionists. I have
never recognized the right of secession, and have no
sympathy with the traitors who have attempted to
assert this right by force and arms. I believe that
ibe only hope of our Republican Government is in
he preservation of the Union; and in that convic
ion, I have given my support—not coldly and rc
ervodly, but earnestly and heartily—to the present
Administration in all the legal and constitutional
measures it has taken to maintain the authority of
he National Government over the whole land, and
to put down those who are in rebellion against it.
More than this neither duty nor patriotism requires
of me or any other citizen; but, while lam for the
war, while the necessity for it exists, I atn for pence,
as speedily as it can be obtained with honor to the
Government, and safety to the Union. Not a
peace to bo sought by proffers of compromise to the
rebels who are now in arms against my country.
Bor them, I would have “ no compromise but at the
cannon’s mouth, 1 ’ The peace which Ibelievetobe
yet possible, I would seok by counsel and co-ope
ration with the true and loyal Union men of the South,
; such as Crittenden, Andrew Johneon, and Holt, in
; the propositios of such measures as would strengthen
, tlicir hands, and give them the power to turn the
misled people of the South away from their rebel
leaders, and win them back to their allegiance to
the Government that rightfully claims it. So far,
and no farther, am I for peace and compromise. I
leave it for your own candor to say whether, iu
holding sueh opinions, I am justly chargeable with
“ sympathy for ihe Southern traitors. ”
Regretting thot I have been unable to “say my
say” in briefer form, I am,
Yours, very respectfully,

Oil or Spirits of Turpentine.
[For The Frew?,}
My attention was arrested this morning by an
article in your paper, headed “ Important, if True,”
under which you say:
“It is now stated by painters who have tried it,
that the naptha, or benzole, as it is generally called,
taken from the petroleum oil, is equally as good,
and on somo accounts bettor than tno turpentine,
and wc observe by the Pennsylvania and Ohio
papers is in genera) use by all painters.”
To the above I would add a word of my expe
rience in the use of coal naptha in mixing of
paint.
I have tried it effectually on brick walls and OH ]
wood work, both inside and outaido of buildings,
and I am decidedly of the opinion that its use in
paint is far preferable to spirits of turpentine. It
contains no oxygen, and the paint retains its color
twice ae long as it will when turpentine is used. I.
had my area-walls painted with white lead mixed
with naptha, and the result was'that the walls were
much whiter than if turpentine had been used, and
at tho end of seven years the paint was as clean
and white as other walls wc» which had been
painted with turpentine but one fear.
When used on wood the paint was not only much
whiter but harder, and retained'its color and bril
liancy twice as long as it wouH hare done hod
turpentine been used. j
I would say that the naptha'was of the best
quality, and as limpid as alcohol.
Respectfully,yours, Ac.,
David Jayne.

The Richmond correspondent of tho Charleston
Corn ier, of the 15th, has the following paragraph:
The fi/ihnslcras who filled the world with so
much angry declamatitn. ft few years ago, aro
figuring prominently in the Southern armies at the
present time. Tho tall nnd martial Honningson loft
to-day for tho West, to assume the colonolcy of tho

son will he his licutennnt colonel. Colonel Charles
Carroll llieks is a lieutenant in a company of Colo
nel MeLaw’s regiment, now at Yorktown. General
Bob Wheat greatly distinguished himseif a 3 com
mander of a New Orleans artillery corps at Manas
sns. Major O'Hara, of Cuban fame, has a commis
sion in tho army. Colonel Rudler, I see, is raising
a company for the war in Georgia. An English
filibuster, one Major Atkins, a tall, big-whiskered,
loo3e-trowscrcd, “ haw-haw ” specimen of a Lon
doner, who was with Garibaldi in Sicily, and who
is “just over,” fought gallantly by the side of
Wheat, at Manassas.
The Memphis Avalanche says :
“ The rod men of the forest arc gathering to the
stnndnrd of the South. Albert Pike, the Indian’s
friend, acting ns commissioner of tho Confederate
States, is forming alliances with the most noted
tribes of the West. Even the wild Cannnches,
heretofore untamable, arc about to be brought
under the protection and influence of the Confede
rate Government, and mastered into the service of
the Confederate States.”
A recent letter from Savannah, Georgia, con
tained the following significant paragraph :
“Our city is mourning. Five hundred and
seventeen of our beautiful Oglethorpe troops were
killed at the battle of Manassas, all young men,
and members of our best families.”
The Charleston papers advertise shares for sale
in the privateer litanrtgard. There is. an
abundance of privateer material yet in the block
aded ports of the South. The New York Herald
publishes the following list of vessels now iu
Charleston harbor:
The steamships Nashville, 1.230 tons; the Isa
bel, J. 115 tons, nnd the Catawba, 4 07 tons ; ships
Nuchnaw, 1.094 ton 3, and John Jiavene!, 700
tons; bark Etivran, 325 tons, and brigs Emma
Eger, 196 tons, and Lonise, 175 tons.
By an advertisement in the Examiner it appears
that two hundred white girls are wanted in Rich
mond to make cartridges.
The Montgomery Mail has awakened to the im
portance of the fact that the winter is approaching
and that the Southern troops must have shoes. In
its issue of the 17th it asks tho pertinent question:
“ How are they to be supplied?” and attempts to
answer it in this wise:
We have good reasons to believe that there are
hides and leather enough in Alabama to shoe all
her people, including the volunteers. In the
northern portion of our State largo numbers of cat
tle and sheep arc slaughtered for homo consump
tion. Many of the bides thus taken arc entirely
lost or iudiil'ercntly tanned.
If some plan could be adopted to purchase and
collect these hides, they could soon bo converted
into leather and manufactured into shoes. In this
way our volunteers could be furnished.
Either a company should be organized to pur
chase these hides and havo them made into shoes,
or. if such company cannot bo formed, or cannot
accomplish the object, tho necessity of the case
would justify the State in assuming the manage
ment ol 1 the business.
There are shocmaking shops enough in our State
to make all the plain shoes we need. And there
aro, perhaps, tanneries already in operation which
could furnish the leather, if they had or could get
sufficient stocks of hides.
Wc believe there are hides enough on hand,
which, together with those that will be saved this
fall, in the hands of tho people, to supply the de
mand. It will be necessary to save nnd make
available these hides. How can this be done '!

Brigadier General Porter, Provost Mar
shal, Washington City.
[From the Washington Sunday Morning Chronicle.]
Brigadier General Andrew Porter, to whom we
arc so muck indebted for good order and quiet in
Washington, is the second son of George B. Porter,
Governor of Michigan, (formerly an eminent law
yer of Pennsylvania.) who died in 1894. He was
born in Lancaster, Pa., on tho 10th day of July,
1819 ; entered the Military Acudemy at West Point
in 183 o; was engaged, in JB;i7, in Alabama, as a
civil engineer, and afterwards employed in the
same capacity in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
In 1543 he was the private secretary of the then
Secretary of War. When the regiment of mounted
riflemen was authorized by a special act of Con
gress in IS4O. he received from President Polk a
commission as first lieutenant; served with this re
gimont (luring the short time it was under General
Taylor's command on the ltio Grande, and accom
panied it when ordered ta join the army of Gene
ral Scott; participated in the siege and capture of
Vera Cruz; was present and engaged in the battle
of Cerro Gordo, on the loth of May, 1547. on which
day he was promoted to a captaincy; and was also
engaged in all the actions which took place before
the city of Mexico, ending in its capture. He was
brevetted a major for gallant conduct at the battle
of Contreras, August 20,1847, and a lieutenant
colonel for meritorious services at the storming
of Chepuitepee, September 73, 1547. On the
capture of the city, he wns appointed provost
marshal of tho city of Mexico, and held that
responsible station until the army left. After
the war be marched with bis regiment across tho
continent to Oregon, spent one winter iu tbe Rocky
Mountains, in command of “Cantonment Loring,”
at Fort llall, and afterwards was in command at
Fort Vancouver. He has since, with the exception
of a year spent on the continent of Europe, served
with his regiment in Texas and New Mexico, and
was on his way from Fort Craig. M., under
orders from Lieutenant General Scott, to report at
the headquarters of the army, when the present
rebellion broke out. On bis arrival at New York
he found orders to take command of the United
States cavalry dopot at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., on
the 30th of June. Finding that some months must
elapse before he was required to assume active
duty, ho immediately ottered his services to his
native State, to assist in organizing the troops called
out on the requisition of the President to aid the
Government. They were promptly accepted by
Governor Curtin, and ho rendered much valuable
aid to tbe Executive. Lieutenant Colonel Porter
was appointed colonel of the Sixteenth Regiment
of United States Infantry, recently called into
service, and commanded the flrst brigade, as acting
brigadier general of the division under acting Major
General Hunter, in tho action at Bull Run, and
with the regulars in his brigade covered tho retreat
of our forces. The President llilS HOW COmmiSSiUDCII
him as a full brigadier general,
Added to a large and varied experience, as well
in the administrative branch of the service as in
the field, Brigadier General Porter is richly en
dowed with those personal characteristics which
eminently qualify him for command. His selec
tion by Major General McClellan, as provost mar
shal of tho city of Washington, is a proof of tho
confidence reposed in him by that gallant officer.
With great firmness and self-possession, he com
bines a discriminating generosity of character,
which has at all times commended him to the re
spect and esteem of superiors, and endeared him to
his subordinates. In him tho good soldier has al
ways found a steadfast friend, and the insubordi
nate or reckless, a strict martinet.
Devoted to his profession, the rapid promotion
which distinguishes him amongst so many brave and
able men for his brilliant services on tho battle
fields of Mexico, as well as his admirable conduct
on the last disastrous field of Manassas, are pledges
to his country that its latest honor has been well be
stowed. His ancestral name, identified in our Re
volutionary annals with our first struggle for exist-,
ence as a nation, we prophecy will receive new and
additional lustro through its present representative;
and that the General Andrew Porter, of 1861, will
bo placed worthily by the side of the General An
drew Porter, (his grandsire,) of 1776, in tho future
history of the republic.

TWO CEOTS.
A British Vessel Confiscated in Portland.
[From the Portland (Mo.) Advertiser, August 24.]
Yesterday morning, by order of the collector, the
schooner William Arthur, of Liverpool, was seized
in our harbor, by United .States Marshal Clark, on
suspicion of an intention to run the blockade, having
on board a cargo to be used for insurrectionary pur
poses. The rcsscl cleared at tlio custom house on
the 21st, with a cargo of 90 bbls. and 50 kits of
mackerel, 100 boxes of codfish. 200 boxes herring,
66 grindstones, and a lot of matches. After 3he left
the wharf the boarding officer. Captain John Sar
gent, ran down to her with one of Captain Willard's
stoamtugs. and when off the breakwater ran along
side and threw chum grapnels on board, and brought
her to. The captain boarded her and took peacea
ble possession, no resistance being offered. Captain
Sargent had on board the tug a detachment of Cap
tain Staple's Home Guard, ready for service had
any resistance been attempted ; but. us none was
offered, the men were not called on deck. The
schooner was brought up to Custom House wharf,
and her sails at once stripped off and taken ashore.
The William Arthur was built at Brookhavcn,
K. Y.. in JSifij la JOl tvn? burthen, and a very last
sailer.' She was owned in this,city, and known
heretofore as the Sarah Ann live. On the Bth of
August she was sold‘to John Douglass Mirriclces
and J. R. I>lo3som & Co., of Wilmington, X. C.,
and put under the British flag, the British consul
giving her a provisional British register. The Tea
sel's papers were issued from the consul's office in.
the name of Mirrielces alone, as owner, be claiming
to bo a British subject, although lately a resident of
Wilmington. Her crew consisted of nine men all
told. The original cook deserted her, and on
Thursday a new* one —a colored man —vras shipped
in his place.
The United States District Attorney has placed a
libel against tho vessel in the Foiled States District
Court. Judge Ware, and a hearing is'appointed for
the first Tuesday of September, at Wiscnssett. The
United States marshal now has possession of the
vessel.
The captain and crew were taken before Judge
Ware in the afternoon. The captain and mate gave
bonds for their appearance to-day; and the remain
der, failing to find bail, were committed.
Secessionist Killed by a Lady.— A Union
man by the name of Glover, residing in one of the
counties west of this city, owning a number of val
uable horsc3, and having reason to fear their appro
priation to rebel uses, concluded to place them in
the hands of a company of home guards in. tho
neighborhood for safe keeping, A day or two af
terwards, while Glover was absent from home, a
rebel called at his house to inquire for him. Mrs.
G.wris in tho garden adjoining a cornfield, some
distance from the house, when the rebel approach
ed her and made several inquiries, to which sho
gave no very satisfactory answers. He then insist
ed on being informed where Glover was, and. with
revolver in hand, threatened instant death if not
told. lie also at the same time demanded of her
to deliver up a valuable gun owned by Glover. The
two started for tlio house through the cornfield, and
on the way Mrs. Glover succeeded, without belli*
observed, in getting possession of a large corn knife
that had boon left in the field, and watching the
Opportunity, took a favorable moment for striking
a blow, which she did most effectually, the knife
severing the skull and killing the rebel instantly.
Mrs. Glover had a small child with her in the gar
den, which she left when starting for the house, in
tending to return for It immediately. Having dis
patched the rebel, she returned to the garden, when
she discovered several other rebels in ambush a
short distance from her. She took her child, and
being yet unperceivcd by them, sought a place of
concealment until they should retire. They soon
emerged from their hiding place, and, searching for
their companion, they found his lifeless body where
he had been stricken down, and bore it off, greatly
to the relief of Mrs. Glover. Mr. Glover immedi
ately made arrangements to leave Missouri, and ar
rived in Stone ; a Prairie, in the southeast part of
this county, where Mrs. G. has an uaele living by
the name of John W. Lamiuorc. a respectable and
reliable citizen. — Qv.i?icy Herald,
Trial of tiie Union Gin at Fortress
Monroe.—At two o’clock this afternoon the twelve
inch Union gun was tried under the supervision of
Lieut. Baylor, of the ordnance department, and the
firing was witnessed by Gen. Wool and Gen. But
ler. Capt. Reynolds, and a number of army and
naval officers. *As it had never been fired before,
the best results could not be obtained, but enough
was ascertained to satisfy all that the gun was not
capable of performing what its inventor expected
of it. With forty-five pounds of powder the gun,
at its greatest elevation, twenty-eight degrees, threw
a solid shot about four miles and a half, which was
the greatest range attained to-day. James’ projec
tiles were used, but were hardly such, as are best
suited for the gun. However, further experiments
may be more successful. With a little larger charge
of powder, a shell weighing three hundred and
forty-one pounds, or a solid shot weighing four hun
dred and twenty-three pounds, cun be easily thrown
into the enemy camp or battery- at Sewall's Point,
and, if the shell should explode in the right place,
it w ould take but one or two of them, to utterly de
stroy their battery. In a little witile we shall test
the Union’s range towards that point.— Cor. N.

The New York Evening Pott, of to-day, in re
lation to money and stocks, in that city, says:
The week opens with a firtns'ock market. There
U but h small business doing,.and prices stiffen un
der a limited amount of orders, Tltcro tti'C few
stocks offering, and some descriptions arc seareo foe
delivery.
New York Centra! closes firm at Ti\. There is
some effort to make the stock scarce to-day.
Tlie firmest of the Western stocks were Galena
and Rock Island—the latter closes at 41'041 J.
There was little done in Galena at GSiaOSj, tha
etock being offered only in small lots.
In Southern State bonds lucre is continued weak
ness in North Carolinas and Georgias. Tenaes
sees arc firm at 4i*ia43f. while Missouri? are dull
at 41{!i42,t..
Government securities arc firmer. The sis par
sent, notes rose to 97). The six per cent, bond.*
of 1881 arc Jai better. The registered sold at B7f.
the coupons at S-3. The fives are weak ; the past
few days are offered at 75, which is 1 per cent,
lower.
None of the demand treasury notes have yet
made their appearance in Wall street. It is doubt
ful if the statement that Mr. Chase intends to; re
strict the issue at present to two millions is correct.
The chief difficulty is to get them signed and regis
tered.
The Bank Note Company arc, however, striking
them off rapidly; they send to-day to Washington
$4011,000, fives, tens, and twenties, making $1,100,-
000 ih less than a week.
Money is in good demand, nt 6ao per cent, on
call. The paper market is dull, and only first
class mimes are negotiable at oa7 per cent. A few
choice lists go at 5a5 j per cent.
The exchange on London is firm at 107iall)7J.
There is a very small supply of hills.

At Coinage's Gallery. Pall-Mall, London, there
are several American paintings on exhibition, which
have attracted favorable attention from English
critics and connoisseurs. Among them, the paint
ings, are landscapes by Kcnsctt and Inncss; that of
Kensett is his “Kimtcrekill Cove,” which will hd
well remembered by New York amateurs.
Xku Cautuiuuk. —The Ordnance Department
has ordered a new metallic cartridge to bo tested at
West Point, the advantage of which is. that it ren
ders the repeated swabbing of-the gun unnecessary.
The case is made of tin, in the shape of n conej nod
htlS tWO wenk points in its circumference. When It
is in the cannon, its apex louehcs the brecch-piece,
nnd thus a chamber informed between the cartridge
and the cannon, said chamber being in the roar of
the cartridge. The cartridge is pricked by forcing
a sharp instrument down through the vent. When
the charge explodes, a portion of the gas escapes
through the wenk points of the cartridge into tho
air chamber, and. by its pressure, instantly forces
the metal case out of the gun.
Pexkthatixg Powku or a Ball.—The power
of penetration which a hall possesses is proportiODAl
to the square of its velocity ; kcncc when the object
of firing is merely to penetrate, the greatest velo

TnANWLANTixn Vegetables ash Annuals.—
Seedlings may- be safely transplanted in hot and
dry weather, if shaded for a few days by a com*
umn flower pot. The hole at the bottom serves as
a chummy. Toward evening take oft'the pot, and
replace it in the morning. Raise the side by a
stone placed under, as, the plant becomes established,
and finally remove it altogether. Tho pot keeps
the ground moist, and is much better than water
ing. Scien l iji c Ain at cn ><.

Cotton in Alhkiiia ami Jiurpr.— ln a debatQ
on Algeria, irbicli toot place in the French Legis
lative body, one member stated that though in
1851 and 1855 the cultivation of cotton had assumed
a certain degree of importance, it has since de
clined; and that, if it were not for the hope of ob
taining a prize of 20,000 francs offered by the 'Go
vernment, it would be probably altogether aban
doned.
A letter received in New (York, from an Ame
rican gentleman in Alexandria, Egypt- under data
of July 15th, says of Egyptian cotton:
The condition of things in tho Uuitcd States 13
pffctty well appreciated here by alt classes. Even
the humblest peasant (the fellah) holds OD to biB
cotton, and refuses to soil, because of tho war is
America, and tho higher prices ho expects to re
ceive hereafter. Some of tho largo cotton planter*
have reached the exorbitant figure of seventeen dol
lars por cantnro, (one hundred pounds English,) and
there they stick. They are not likely to rcaliza
that rate, although Egyptian cotton is next in Talua
to Sea Island. The price ruling day before yester
day (.Saturday, July 1 ") was thirteen dollars per
eantaro.
