For thi
States conquered by the Revolutionists under-
Garibaldi. Count Cavijiur —Victor Emmanuel's
Prim,e Minister —Lad made a speech in which
be said that the discussion of this law had
brought the different parties into closer union
with each other. He said:
“ There is a great difference between past an
nexations and those now under consideration.
Immediately after the conclusion of the Treaty
of Vitlafranca, annexations could not be pre
cipitated. A Congress was also spoken of, at
which we were to take part. As regards the
annexation of Southern Italy, the same no lon
ger exists. Your vote is demanded in order
that you may give to the inhabitants of those
provinces a proof thajt the steps taken by the
Government have met with your approval.
“As regards the disunion which has arisen
betwleen the Government and Garabaldi, the
fault has not been ours. Public opinion leaves
no doubt on that point. The Ministry, there
fore, decided on presenting themselves before
the parliament, in order that it might judge
their policy. This is i the greatest homage that
can be paid to any man. The Crown, after
ter mature consideration, refused to accept the
offer made by us to tender our resisnation, be
ing of opinion that-Goyernment would thereby
be top much weakened at home and abroad.
It only remained to ins, therefore, to address
ourselves to you, not that you might judge Gar
ibaldi, who is not subject to your examination,
but ourselves, over whom you have power.
Should'yon support ns we shall go to meet
Garibaldi, and presenjt to him the order of the
day iproposed by your committee, which you
will Approve, and which we accept with all our
hearts. We shall offer him our hand, and in
vite him to union in {the name of the Italian
Parliament.

“ The cession of Italian territory as an in
demnity has again been spoken of. To this
report 1 give* a formal denial, and add, that
when annexation shall have been accomplished,
any cession of territory will become impossible.
Nobody will be able to ask such a cession from
a country with a population of 24,000,000.
“An attack against Rome and Venice has
also been spoken of. We desire that the Eter
nal City’should become the capital-of Italy;
but,!as regards the means to-that end, we shall
be better able to Say : n what condition we shall
be six months hence.
“The revolution in Rome will be accom
plished by the convic iion that liberty is favora
ble |o religion.,
“Respecting Yeneia, Europe does not wish
that we should . make war upon Austria. IVe
muSt take into consideration the opinion of the
great .Powers. Wo jnust bring about n change
in this opinion. Europe believes us incapable
of delivering Venetiaj alone. Let us show our
selves united, and thnjt opinion will change. It
is untrue that the Venetians are peacefully
submitting to their destiny.
“ Austriahas flattered them in vain. Public
opinion will change hot only in France and
England, but Germany also, which is becoming
liberal, will be in our favor.”

been of the most murderous kind. The trocps

• According to the Corriere Mercantile, a bri:
gade of two batteries of the Peidmontese army
took part in the conflict. ,
The correspondent of the Bibats, who was
an eye-witness, says that the fighting put him
in mind of Magenta and Solferino. Three
times-were the Garibaldians driven from their
positions at the bayonet’s point, and as often
won them back. The'results of the victory are
not likely to be quite so brilliant as was a* first
supposed ; neither, as far Jia can be made out
from the conflicting accounts received, was the
victory so decisive as the telegram first report
ed. It comes to this: The Neapolitans attacked
the positions of Garibaldi, and, after fifteen
hours’ fighting, were driven back. Meanwhile
they stand behind the Voltumo firmly en
trenched.
According to the Patrie’s last news, they had
erected numerous redoubts, with, artillery, at
all the principal fords. Capua itself is a very
strong place, and can stand a regular siege.
Victor Emmanuel will' probably 'have the pow
er of taking part in the final struggle.
The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, states that
the Garibaldians have 1200 men hors de combat.
The loss of the Royalists is about 3000. The
King of Naples, was -continually under fire.
The total of the Royalist forces engaged was
20,000. The Garibaldians were about 12,000
strong. Eight charges were made by the bay
onet before the Royalists were driven out from
(he houses of Santa Marie. Had the King
been victorious he would at once have entered
Naples. '
Garibaldi’s official paper published at Naples
contains a decree ordering a vote by universal
suffrage to be taken on the 21st October on the
following question :
“Do you wish Italy to be indivisibly united
with Victor Emmanuel, as constitutional King,
and bis legitimate descendants t”
We shall look with interest for the result of
this vote, as it is the first of the kind ever taken
in a country of Europe over which there was,
at the time, a reigning monarch.
A DISGUSTED DOUGLABITE,
DeWitt C. James, Esq., forborne years editor
of the Warren (Pa.) Ledger, has withdrawn
from that paper, and is succeeded by Mr.
Thomas Clemons. The determined stand which
Mr. James took against the Lecqmpton swindle
and all the other villainies of the present ad
ministration, together with his, sincere support
of Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency left
him no other course to pursue. As soon as the
straight-out Douglas ticket was withdrawn, the
question became narrowed down to the protec
tion by law, or the prohibition by law of slavery
in the territories. Mr. James states the case
and his own position in this forcible style :
“In the present campaign the Ledger has
consistently advocated the election of the regu
lar nominees of the party, Douglas, Johnson,
and Foster. We have labored to crush out the
spirit of secession and disunion which com
menced at Charleston and was furthered at
Baltimore in the nomination of Breckinridge
and which we fear wjill culminate in the diseo
lutlon of the Union. For this reason the Ledger
has ever fought the heresies of the Admihistra
tionists in attempting to interpose the principle
of “ a slave-code for the Territories/' upon the
Democratic creed. The logical results of. the
advocacy of such a'foul sentiment must pro
duce a dissolution. If it is not carried out, the
South would secede, and if it was, the North
would be justified in revolutionizing the gov
ernment. This may be strong language for a
conservative, but the truth may as well be spo
ken boldly. If the politics of the country is
reduced by the force of circumstances to mere
sectionalism, we would be worse than infidels
did we not side with our own kindred- . In the
present canvass Lincoln represents northern
sectionalism and Breckinridge the sectionalism
of the South, and if the contest is confined to
|be two, wo do not hesitate to declare that our
symyatbies are with the former. We con, in
no event, da an act!'which might inure to the
benefit of the secession disunion ticket of
Breckinridge and Lane. We consider them
traitors to the government, and as such deserve
the execrations of true patriots. Personally
entertaining these views, I cannot support the
electors named at Beading, j Fifteen of the
twenty-seven have declared that they were in
favor of the disunion ticket, and my arm shall
wither before it shall cast a vote for such nomi
nees.”
—Mr. James wakes the following truthful
remarks in regard to the profession from which
he has cut Rose :
“ The editorial path is not always lined with
roses,•altlroughifor three-and-a-half years which
I have bad charge of the Ledger I have little
reason to complain of the wayside thorns. The
uniform courtesy with which I,have been treat
ed by my editorial brethren everywhere, has
left an impression of regard for the fraternity
which time can never efface,-and I can but re
gret that circumstances compel asundering.of
editorial associations which to me have been
naught but agreeable. The ‘editorial profes
sion is an honorable one, and no class excel
country editors in discharging their duties with
a true manliness which might 1 well be imitated
by other professions. Although I may not lon
ger claim the honor of belonging to this fra
ternity, I hope ever to be worthy of their good
will; I sever my connection with them with the
liveliest feelings of personal regard fur each and
all.”

Farmers’ Libraries. ■
It is expected of every professional man that
he will provide himself with a well assorted li
brary, treating upon the duties of his profes
sion. • i
Ministers would be compelled to preach to
empty seats, lawyers would be destitute of cli
ents, and teachers unfurnished with pupils were
they so negligent or penurious ns not to provide
themselves with necessary books.-
But very many farmers appear to think the
agricultural vocation an exception to the gen
eral rule which they apply to every professional
pursuit. They plod along in the footsteps of
their fathers and grandfathers, confining them
selves to that mode of farm-culture which they
saw practised in their youthful days. They
have not an agricultural book in their libraries
—some have no library excepting a Bible, Spell
ing Book and Alinaoac—and an agricultural
paper has never been a regular visitant pt their
homes. And a minority of thru class if farm
ers of which we speak do not take a newspaper
of any kind or grade. They are too poor!—
And the result is they are poor farmers, and
have very poo? crops. No man needs a good
library more than the farmer. He. has "a pro
fession that as really requires study toj master
it as the lawyers’ or teachers’. His "occupation
demands an acquaintance with the composition
of the various soils, their fertilizing powers and
the kind of vegetable products which each par
ticular soil will bring forth in the greatest
abundance and of the-best quality.
Experience and' observation may supply the
farmer with many useful facts, but ho also needs
books treating upon the horses, cattle and
sheep; the management of the dairy; the carp
of bees; the proper way to raise apples, pears,
and other fruits ; the nature -and treatment of
different soils, etc.; Jail of which can be procured
at a trifling expense. Hundreds of farmers an
nually expend more for liquor, tobacco, and
other unnecessary! stimulants or luxuries than
would suffice to pay for as many agricultural
books as they could profitably read in the course
of a single year, j Every farmer should have
books of literature,’ history and travels; for his
family needs the means of improvement found
in a well assorted library and its influence will
be felt in tbeir moral and intellectual advance
ment and in increasing their love of hom&.
His centre table ’should- receive weekly and
monthly supplies of newspaper and periodical
literature, thereby affording himself and family
access to the eurfent news of the day gleaned
from the moral, social and political events of
life/ Knowledge [derived’ from books and pa
pers will give ability to increase the income of
his'farm and will elevate his standing in the
community. . Junius.

To the Editor of the Agitator :
It will be remembered by the readers of the

over 30,000 majority for Andrew G. Curtin,
our distinguished Republican candidate for
Governor, the Republicans of Tioga held a cele-

of that auspicious day, by which they were so
well pleased that they determined to foliow it
by a more general, and useful
j " WIDE AWAKE” DEMONSTRATION
upon tlfe eve of the Presidential election.} The
subject-was brought before the Club at Tjoga,
and all necessary arrangements made, as Jbbfore
stated in the Agiidtor. -There was a quite gen
eral interest manifested by our good people,
and means were cheerfully subscribed to carry
out the important undertaking. The arrange
menta.for the evening were: First, a general
TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION,
then speeches, after which a. general/oyster
supper for all who would eat. The time fixed
was Friday evening, the 2d inst. \
It was nearly eight o’clock when I, in com
pany with a party 1 of friends, was approlxching
the village, at a distance of perhaps a quarter
of a mile. The early evening was very dark,
and well calculated, in this respect, to give the
procession a splendid appearance. Suddenly
a flash of shot np from Broad St. and
shone brightly upon the spire of the adjacent
church, reflected the pure white of tbe line of
dwellings near by, and stretched across the
quiet little Tioga which skirts the village bn the
east, and was at last buified in the darkness
which cloaked thp eastward mountains sis if in
an-eternal night. Momentarily more bjrilliant
grew the mingled scene, as -torch, after torch
was lighted. We conld not then see the torch
es,' bnt the anion of their light, which} shone
above the tops of the buildings. At length,
•however, as we neared the town, the enlivening
strains of music which fell upon our ears, told
us the march had 1 begun.
Tlii; TIOGA BAND
led the column, and one of their number was
Captain °of the march. Soon tho front of the
lino' wheeled into Main St. and fell fully into
our sight. It was indeed a grand spjectaole.
Why 1 a single lone light, upon a distant hill,
how oft’ have we (lazed in deep meditation upon
such a scene, and with sight immovably trans
fixed, have enjoyed the poetry of vision which
the balm stillness and the majesty of solitude
have lent it! WC have then bethought us of
many a lone watch-fire in time of danger, where
a group of anxious patriots counseled through
tho vigils of the night, watchful of their liberty,
imagination have filled out the scene
which thought inspired, most pleasing to our
fancies. Every land-mark has its history, as
every thing in nature is suggestive to the
thoughtful. So it was with, this scene. A
“light trimmed hnd burning” is an-.agent on
the watch ; and a;“ Wide Awake” is ajmessen
ger of right and justice, watchful day aid night.
Then this display lin our quiet home tells uSof
the thousands of battling brothers who are sol-
diers hi the oansejof liberty and justice, Right
and Republicanism.
The long lino if moving lights reached far
up and down the street, in its maifeh illumina
ting' the whole town.
the steps and platforms of the stores 9
crowded with' ladies. Though the weather 9
very bad, the roads muddy, and the meeting 9
the evening, there were' some 800 to iJqqq ||
people present. • When the march was en'dei 9
a large bonfire was bailt and the crowd assent S
bled in front of Smith’s Hotel to listen to'tin®
speaking. C. 0. Etz, Esq., Wm. Garretaon a t j 1
Judge Humphrey all made speeches, to
the audience listened (with the exception 0 f 1 r'q
few who seemed anxious to have a hanl at ft! i|
oysters) with much good humor-and appareca ‘'l
satisfaction. They were frequently cheered
and much applauded. They urged ali to dj3
their duty; the time for speeches was pasjf/ II
and for work was at hand. There was | 9
SINGING DT THE GLEE CLUB 1
which was a very fine feature of the occasion,
pnd in addition to the music.by the Band, gj T j
all a rare treat who enjoy"" the harmony J
sweet sounds.”
After the speeches came the snpper. It tool
some two hours to feed . the multitude. Then
was some confusion as to whose turn it was tj
eat, but the'affair was well managed, and foj
its kind passed off very harmoniously. There
was no chance or wish to complain for then
was no distinction of sex or politics. It wan
free supper and all made free to eat. i
- THE DANCE.
After snpper there was a dance, that the 61. |
lowers of Terpsichore might enjoy their faror
ite pastime. Thcs there was a general Jubilee I
with no serioos trouble or riotand the cili. ’
zens of Tioga will long remember the “ffjdj;
