GiRinALDi'i Progress. The substance of the news from Italy by the last steamer is, that Garibaldi was making considerabl pro press in tha attempted revolution in Sicily. 'J lie Neapolitan Kingdom is divided into two portions, one Contineutil, the other the island of Sicily, situated southwest on tho Mediter ranean, and separated from the Continent by the Straits of Messina. It was in this island portion of the kingdom that the people rose npaiuat their tyrannical tulers, and Garibaldi, with about 2000 volunteers, started from Genoa to their assistance, against the profess ed wishes ef the Sardinian Government, which will be the Government most likely to be ben efitted by the successor the expedition, as the cry of the people of Palermo is "Italy and Victor Kmmonucl." Garibaldi succeeded in effecting a landing, and, according to the latest reports, had seized opon several impor tant places. The most significant fact is, that the people everywhere on the island hail his approach as a deliverer, and this will furnish him with the material aid required in a con test of this kind. The people of Naples had cuught the flame ol insurrection, aud the indi cations are, that the first intelligence of bis successes will be followed by a diversion in that qunrler, which will greatly strengthen his cause in l'ulermu, and may spread the revolution from the island to toe Continent The Governments of Fraoce and Kuglund, it is said, are disposed to let the biciliaus and Neapolitans tight it out, without any interven tiou from AuBlria, the I'upal hiatus, or any other European power sympathizing with the Kine of Naples. If this be so, there will be better hopes of the success of tho Sicilian rev olutiouists. The movement is a most impor tant oue, aud its progress will be watched nun interest. Tub Japanese Kmuassv.

Putting in bis hand to feel for the rabbit, be was bitten by a snake, which had taking refuge tbero. The lad, reeling his danger, bound his arm tightly with one or bis suspenders above the wound, and run for borne, but fell from tho effects of the poison before be reached there. His cries, however, attracted the attention of the family, and be was borne home and whisky freely administered, until it produced its usual effect. His arm, bow ever, below the bauduge swelled turned black and burst, and after living two days be expired. The snake was dug out and dragged from its den, and found to be a very old rattlesnake, full or poison, large quantities being forced from its mouth by the pressure of the rope around bis neck, used to draw him out. A terrible tragedy was enactod in the California Assembly, a few days before its adjournment. A member of the House named John C. liell was shot and stabbed to death, almost, in his seat, by one Dr. Stone. Stone was a lobby member, attempting to procure the passage of a bill for the division of the county represented by Hell, and to which the latter was opposed.

The uuturtuuate man was carried away, aud died two days after, btoua was released on bail. As be is a nub man, the crime will go unpunished. The Assembly took no notice of Ibo murder.

The Sunbnry Gazette of last week contalM a correspondence botwocn Msjor William I. Dewart and Hon. I.N.Morris, member rt Congress from Illinois, which require thing more than a mere passing otls In these days of extravagant peUuval UWt ture. In this epistle tho Major elves l Ms ad besion to the fortunes of .ludiin l'K'iea, abjures all further couuectiou with Mr. Bu chanan. The Major opens tho coirospondciiee by stating that bo had enclosed a copy or tho "organ of our parly in this vicinity," tho Sunbury Gazrllr, conlalnlni? a communica tion, which ho says he wrote in rvor of the Judge lor President. He remarks also that he bus sent a copy of the i"Ku t0 Jni,8 Douglas, aud asks M r. M orris to hand tho paper to Mr. Montgomery, bis lato collooguo, that he may know where bo (the Major) stands iu tho liKht. Thu Major also refers to Mr. llottcnstiiit'. our delegate, who, be argue, misrepiesents nine tenths or tho Do mocriuy in opi""'' JuJfc'e 1'ouglas, and thinks that Mr. II- will oilher resign or vote for the Judue. We doubt whether our dele gnte represented anybody in this county, except a few Post Mosters. Now we cer tainly shall not complain that the Major and the "organ" have beon converted, even at the eleventh hour, from the heretical doctrines, engendered by the leaven or Mr. Buchanan's ancient federalism, including Lecomptonism aud other fatal heresies of tbe present admin istration. But the cool assurance with which tbe Major disposes of the Democracy of this couuty and dispenses the honors thereto ap pertaining, is amusing if not surprising. For more than two years, or ever since the war of tbe administration against Judge Douglas, we bave defended bim against tbe attacks not only of Mr. Buchanan, but of tbe Major and the Gazette, and we trust that as thev bave now seen the error of their ways, and feel disposed to embrace tbe true doctrines of Democracy, for which we bave been con tending, they will make somo acknowledgment of their error, and liko truly penitent sinners, not thrust themselves forward until they have remained upon the anxious boncb in a proba tionary state, a suitable period. tv o do not wish to be dcomod officious, but while the Major bas bis band in forwarding copies of "the organ of our party" to Judge Douglas, would it not have been well to send to the Judgo tbat copy of tho Gazette pub lished a few months since, wbicb, at tbe time, somewhat startled the faithful, by coming out, flat footed, in favor of en old lino Whig, Edward Everett, for President. Besides, it was strongly suspected that the organ was somewhat out of tune last fall, when tbe editor undertook to 6how bis ntter disregard for tbat trite old maxim, "There is nothing like leather," although ho bad previously sung Pacns time and again to leather headed politicians and helped to elevate tbem too fCce. But organs, like other wind instruments, are liable to change, and it is a great mistake to suppose that they ero confined to certain set pieces of music. Political organs espe cially, when new hands work tbo bellows, often change, not only the stvlo of playing, bat the music itself, and when a staccato movemont is deemed necessary, even a medley is sooiotimcB introduced. Mr. Morris, in reply, congratulates the Major on being "right side up" again, and excuses his iiual vote in favor of Lecompton on tbe score of friendship fur tbe President This may be excusable in politics, but will not pass for good morals, in ethics. Mr. Morris very truly says that it is only by cheating tho people that Judge Douglas can bo defeated. We think wo shall also bave to send a copy of tbe American to Judge Douglas and Mr. Montgomery, to counteract tbe impres sion caused by the Major's letter, that the Democracy of this county was groping in darkness, until the light suddenly became upon himself and the "organ of our party." But laying badinage aside, we rejoice that our erring friends bave abjured Buchananism, Lecomptonism, and its concomitant evilst against wbicb we bave been contending for yeurs past.

The Democratic Standing Committe is to meet at the Court House, in this place, on tbe 9lb inst. Tbe object, we presume, is to ascertain by what authority Gov. Bigler, carries the Presidential vote of this county in bis breeches pocket, aud when and bow our delegate to Charleston, Mr. Hottenstine, discovered that Mr. Gutbrie, was a good tariff man. And also, whether tbe Report of Mr. Gutbrie, when Secretary of the Treasa ry under Mr. Pierce, in wbicb be opposed a tariff protecting tbe interests of Pennsylva nia, was, or was not, a forgery, or whether it was tbe result of a miraculous conversion and if so, whether eleventh hour converts are more reliable than those of longer standing, sucb, for instance, as Mr. Buchanan, who while be recommends a tariff, permits his Secretary Mr. Cobb, to tell Congress tbat free trade is tbe right doctriue, and that the views of bis master are all moonshine and ought not to be regarded.

The guilt or causing Broderick's death rests, or course, in tho first instance on Terry, but in the second on Benham, who seems to have assisted in the matter with a hearty good will, and to bave bated Broderick with a hearty hatred. He stands at this moment, in the eye or the law at California, in tbe position or an accessory to a murder. "We do not care one straw for tbe politicul aspects or this affair, and we are fully aware that recent exposures prove our Chief Magis trate to be very much t)o old an oflender to make it worth tbe while of any journal to dwell auy longer on his misdeeds. There is no chance of bis reformation, and bis powers of mischief will soon expire. But it is due to tbe nation at large to protest against the latest attempt to vent petty spite by means of a gross insult to an orderly christian com munity. He began the practice of setting the opinions of the people, about the conduct of their representatives, at defiance a long time ago. There was an unmistakable em phasis as well as impudence in his giving Glancy Jones tbe Embassy at Vienna, after bis expulsion by bis constituency, but this performance in San Francisco is' something more than a violation of Democratic theories. It is a slap io the face, administered by tbo President of the United States, not to politi cal opponents, but to every man in the com munity wno respects either God s iaw or man's." 63T The Tariff While 33 votes are ne cessary to carry it in a full Senate, a less number will be sufficient, from tbe absentees. It is ascertained tbat a number of Senators are prepared for such an alternative, from a conviction that the present law is inadequate as a revenue meosore, and from a disposition to concede something.

We, in this neighborhood, fully concur in the opinion, that Mr. Cnmcron would make a strong man, in this district, where he is well known for hia practical knowledge, and the deep interest he takes in the development of our agricultnral and mineral resources.
