LARGE ATTENDANCE.
The Squatters lu minority !
Mii.r.EnoEViu.E, June 4.—A large number of
delegates have already assembled. Mauy arriv
ed this morning, and It Is believed that It wilTbc
the largest Convention ever held in Georgia.
Ex-Governor Conn is here—Senator Toostns
Is not coming. Mr. Stephens is prevented from
being present by sickness.
it is believed that-the Convention will sustain
the scccders and send delegates to Richmond, by
an overwhelming majority. It Is thought that
the few Squatter delegates will not enter the
Convention, but will hold one of their own and
scud bogus delegates to Baltimore.
There Is a diversity of opinion as to whether
the delegates to Richmond will be Instructed In
regard to Baltimore nr not.
Tho Milledgoville Convention.
[From tile Associated Press.]
Milledobville, June 4.—At a caucus ol the
-Vofoninf (Douglas Squatter Sovereignty) Demo
crats, held this morning, they determined to act
with the general Convention assembled here,
long ns there Is any hope that the Xatiomil or
ganisation will be preserved. In the event that
delegates arc sent to Richmond, or a platform
adopted different from that adopted at Charles
ton, then the Nationals will quietly hold a sepa-
nuo Convention. In the latter event, the Squat
lets will adopt the Charleston platform and send
delegates to Baltimore.
The general impression is that a majority of
the delegates are In litvor of Richmond and Bnl
tlmore. Those who urc for Richmond only
are regarded as In the minority, and those for
Baltimore only art! considered In the same tlx.
Harmonious results In any way are very un
certain. Perhaps the 'adjusting line will he to
eend delegates to Baltimore, with, authority In
consult at Richmond.

Italian Affairs.
Among the accomplishments for which Neap
olitan authorities are famous, says the Baltimore
American, the art of lying takes"thu first rank.—
They have been assuring the world for a month
or two pusl that all portions of the dominions of
his amiable majesty, the King of Naples, were
remarkable tranquil. Suntc slight ebullitions,
promptly suppressed, had occurred lit Sicily.—
Some English residents had Incited a tritllngrlot,
which was quelled by blowing up a monastery
and sahrelhg 'a few monks. These ofilelnl ac
counts are past being taken with any number of
grains of salt. They are made to correspond
with tho events they profess to chronicle Just
enough to preserve their identity. There Is
nothing lu this or any other civilised country to
which they may ho likened, except n partisan
newspaper, with a Journeyman politician for an
editor. And oven here the most remarkable
point of resemblance Is lu the brasen hardihood
with which their several fabrications are con
cocted uud ventilated.
We cannot doubt Hint good Is in store (or the
subjects ofthc worthless monster who misgov
erns one of the fairest portions of the earth. He
has carefully walked In the footsteps of Knno-
uoam from the day when he first assumed thu
royal title. Ills compassionate father, King
Bomba, chastised his refractory people with
whips, and his successor chastises them with
scorpions. There Is generally something
paternal about the character of despotic govern
ments, hut the King of Naples has manifested
nothing better thnu the instincts of a wild beast
At last lie has passed the point hoyond which en
durance Is no longer possible, and tbe world Is
waiting liopofriUy for success to crown a deep-
rooted and wide spread rebellion—and to elevate
It to the dignity of a revolution. The reports
that are published hi the royal city concerning
the Sicilian Insurrections are Intended to deceive
tho discontented, anil to retain Impending out
breaks In the provinces. The latest Intelligence
Informs its that the wolf Is at last alarmed, anil
Is preparing to leave his den. The nlllanec re
ported between Naples and Austria does not
alurni any one; ond the admission of the Pope
and the deposed princes into the partnership
does not Increase the capital ofthc concern now
Irretrievably bankrupt. Even If Francis Joseph
Itud any appetite for a struggle on Italian battle-
grounds, and even If bis power were equal to Ills
will hi crush out every spark of liberty lu tbe
Peninsula, bis hands are already filled with linn-
gartaii affairs. • Besotted as ho Is—this young
hero knows that the withdrawal of Ids forces
from Hungarian garrisons would be the slgiinl
for revolt, ami any attempt to assist bis brother
tyrant of Naples would result In Hie filial loss of
bis own fail- provinces. The compact between
these despots is a rope of sand.
Tbe conduct of the Italians has excited tbe
surprise and challenged the admiration ol free
men everywhere. They havo been patient anil
cautious In trouble—they have been moderate
anil conservative In success. The Red Republi
can fever lias disappeared, and the rule of Vic
tor Emanuel tins everywhere been ncceptcd
with enthusiasm. There Is hope for this people,
all the brighter now that Garibaldi has again
appeared upun the stage. Ills preseuee in Sicily
portends disaster and defeat to the Neapolitan
authorities, anil all the carefully prepared re
ports that are made public lu Naples cannot pre
vent the. Infection from spreading to the main
land. The accounts of victory over Insurgents
led by Garibaldi will not deceive any one, and
we already detect the symptoms ot triumph on
one side and tlie contagious tremors of fear on
the other. Predictions ol the result, now that a
result of some sort Is so near, would he - out of
place. All that wu gather from our foreign files
is that affairs arc In sitch a condition ns to
promise a speedy solution of the “Italian' Ques
tion." We earnestly hope that result will be the
downfall of the most remorseless despotism of
the earth. _

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 31st.
It Is doubted whether Congress can adjourn on
Hie 18lh June, with any due regard to the public
Interests. But a number ot members of both
Houses are desirous of attending the convention
at Baltimore on the 18th, or the convention at
Richmond, should that body be lu session after
the 18th. Tbe crisis III the nftiilrs of the demo
cratic party which Is approaching will render de
liberate legislation quite difficult. Then, again,
should a rupture of the Baltimore Convention
occur, there will necessarily ensue a bad state of
feeling between the Northern and Southern
Democrats, or rather between the Duiiglas ami
autl-Douglas Democrats, which would be unfa
vorable to the public interests, Congress had
therefore, better adjourn on thu 18th June, us
proposed by the House, at the hazard of tbe delay
of some legislation
Tbe President Is so much Impressed with the
belter that the Mexican anil Central American
trenlles must tie ratified, even with such amend
incuts as Senator Simnious, of Rhode Island,
proposes, and the adoption of which Is necessary
to Hie ratification or (he treaty, that he may de
tain the Senate lu special session.
The President will recall Congress, without
hesitation, to meet the very next day alter their
adjournment, if they leave any branch of the
public service unprovided for, by appropriations
already required by law. It will be absolutely
necessary for Congress lo authorise a loan
of a much larger amount than.the House has
proposed.
The Senate has most unexpectedly, passed the
Oregon War debt bill, at tbe Instance of Gen.
Jo. Lane. The Senators who had denounced
It ns nil unfounded claim, did not offer any
efficient opposition. It Is a matter of much con-
sequonee mid nccompaulcd by such doubts,
that It ought to hare been subjected to an ex
amination by a Board of Commissioners. The
amount called for by Gen. lame's bill Is suppos
ed by Senator limiter to be four millions, and
a loan to meet Hint amount was said to be uer-os-
sary by Mr. Hunter. But Hint Is a part of the
claim. Three millions more will be asked at the
next session. * Is the “whole of Oregon” worth
seven millions ? It does not appear to be. But
wbat It may turn out to be we cannot say. Cali
fornia wns denounced lu thu House by tbe
Chairman of Hie Committee of Foreign Affairs,
(then Trueman Smith, of Conn.,) os being “a
country of rocks, rattlesnakes, and Camanehcs.”
Oregon has shown nothing yet but bad climate,
a poor soil, n sparse and not Increasing popula
tion, and n remarkable degree of greediness to
get public money, through the aid of an Indian
war, which Gen. Wool pronounced to bo entire
ly unnecessary.
The Paclfllc Road question may be'revived,
though the House, by recommitting the bill from
their select committee, show that they are not
prepared to anlte upon any acbeine for a road
or roads.
The nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin docs
npt scent to create much sensation at the North.
At Chicago, where Mr. Lincoln was personally
knbtrn and popular,his nomlnatln of wns greeted
with pleasure and pride. Elsewhere, and even
In the Northwest, It seems (p lie considered' by
tho Republicans ns a failure.
There is a common rumor afloat that the ad
journed Democratic Convention at Baltimore
wlllhominato HoratiO' Seymour, of Now York,
ns President. The New York delegation-will go
with the South In everything, If the Sot "

MY WIFE.
A LEAP YEAR STORY.
Popping the questton I There’s something
terrible to a man of weak nerves In the very
Idea. To think of sitting down and popping a
matter or auch vast Importance. Talk nliont
Blormlng the Malakoffl I'd rather do It twice
over, thnu attempt to carry n fortress guarded by
a pair of black eyes and rosy Ups. Many o poor
fellow linn required a sterner courage to benrhlin
through tho opemtloii safely than old Eltuin Al
len carried wllli him to the heights of Tlcondo-
roga, and the imtu who does It satisfactorily and
successfully Is every Inch a hero.
The truth is, Society needs reformotlou In one
particular. Tho custom of requiring tho sterner
sex to pop the question Is a barbarous and Inhu
man one, and ought to ho nlmudoncil. Women
have twice as much tact as men, and should do
all the proposing. Its their legitimate business;
besides, there would never lie the remotest pos
sible chance for it failure. Women have more
penetration than men; they read their lovers os
they do their Ihshlon bonks, and to quite ns
much advantage. It la ubsurd to suppose that a
woman would over need to he In doubt as to the
state of her lover’s feelings, always providing that
he were tint that most odious of ull creatures, a
male tllrt, and such urc easily detected even by
women of ordinary Intellect. They have anoth
er and very Important advantage in the fact that
men, so far from attempting to conceal, actually
take all possible pains to make known, the exact
state of their fccllugs. This Is done by count
less little delicate attentions, by looks of love,
by continual nets of preference, and lu a thou
sand other ways that renilily suggest themselves.
And ns for their chances ofjsueeess—that Is a
foregone conclusion,
to set her head nud heart on a thing without ac
complishing It i With them “there’s no such
word ns fail." Resides, tio respectable successor
of Adam can withstand their fascinations.
“Breathes there a man with soul so deniF' as to
reject a proposition hacked by n pair of rosy
lips and eyes of jet or “heaven’s cerulean tint-,"
or, ludeed, any other color, ns for that. No air,
the Idea Is preposterous, not worthy of a mo
ment’s consideration.
Besides, what’s the use of I.cnp Year If the
ladles never assert their rights. 1 am no “wo
man's rights” man, according to the preachings
of Lncy Stone, anil others of her class, but they
have tbclr rights and privileges, nevertheless,
and ought lo exercise them; and I ask again
what’s the uso of Leap Year, If the ladles don’t
mean to take advantage of It ? I would’ut give
a sixpence for such a Leap Ycur. I like thegooil
old custom which prevailed In Scotland in Quccu
Margaret's time, when It was specially ordained
that, during the reign ol “her most gracious
Majestic, every nmUieii, of both high and low
degree, should have the liberty tu speak to the
man she liked, and If he refused to tnke her for
bis wife, In^wns to pay a hundred pounds, nr
less, (as his estate might justify) unless he could
prove himself betrothed to miotber woman.’’
There wan an ordlunnee for yon, nud the Scotch
lassies availed themselves of Its provisioiis, too.
Somebody lias compared marriage to a wire
rat trap, the large end ol the cone outside, so as
lo permit tho victim to enter without difficulty;
hut, when he discovers that the toasted cheese
which decoyed him Into the trap Is not what It
was “cracked up to be,” and essays’to depart,
the sharp points of the wire remind hliu that he
Is In for It, without a chance for escape. I dare
say tbe Idea was originated by some crusty old
bachelor, who had been kicked by every girl of
his acquaintance, and who, like tlie fox iti tbe
Cable, consoled himself with the cry of “aoitr
grapes," because a wife wns beyond Ids reach.
I look upou marriage ns one of the great Insti
tutions of humanity, anil no more lo be com
pared to a rat trap than are tbe ladles to be
likened to toasted cheese. Good old Ben Frank
lin said the sexes were like the halves of a pair
of scissors—of lio possible use without each
Other.' Who that has seen nil unfortunate old
bachelor will gainsay the comparison ?
Speaking of bachelors, remluds me that I
bulong to that greatly-to-lio-cnnimlscmtcd class.
Its nobody’s business what my age Is. But
there Is no denying the (act that I am a bachelor
—confirmed, some of my lady ft iends sav—and
n pretty snugly fixed off bachelor, too, I can
toll yon. My apartments are as comfortable as
the can lie made, and wlicu I get on my dress
ing gown anil slippers—the gift of an anxious
mother, who tried to catch me for one of her
daughters—and am seated in my arm chair, with
a lighted htgara or Manata between my teeth, I
sometimes foci pretty well sallslleil with my
condition of single blessedness. Candidly speak
ing, however, 1 must admit that I am unt a
bachelor from choice. I cannot thluk of enter
ing Into a detail of the circumstances which
have made me what I am. It would take-too
much time,and besides wouldn’t be pleasant to re-
late. Shakespeare Intimates that there Is nothing
In a name. Iam usually disposed to concede to
the Bard of Avon more than ordinary wisdom
and penetration; Imt right here I must join Issue
with him. My name Is Jenkins—Thomas Jcffer-
sonJenkins! Notahad name Is It? It looks
well, written or printed; especially written, If
yon make your J’s with a flourish, ns I always
do. And yet, lu spite of Its being a good uatnc
and a pretty one. to write, I have -never yet been
able to find a young lady who appeared to finicy
it. None of them seems to think that “Mrs.
Thomas Jefferson Jenkins” would look well on
a visiting card, and so I am doomed “to blush
unseen, and wasteroy sweetness on the desert
air."
One evening I sat 111 my bachelor apartment,
cptlly smoking my pipe und gazing Into a huge
wood fire which burned upon the hearth, warm-
ing and llghthig the room at tho same time. It
Is wonderfal how smoke generates thought. Ik
Marvel has published his bachelor reveries over
a wood fire, a coal fire and a cigar, hut he has
never given us the result of Ids cogitations with
a pipe In Ills mouth, If, Indeed, he smokes a pipe.
Or ilhl smoke one, I mean, for, poor fellow, lie’s
a married man now, and till his bachelor reveries
and pipe smokings are over. But ou 'this par-
tleular evening, os I sal smoking, I got to tliluk-
lug, and uiy ikoughta took pretty nearly the
form In wlilchl have written them down. But
all nt once, while I sat dreaming before the fire,
I heard a “tapping at my chamber door.” It
was a wlld’nlglit, without. Tho wind howled
and shrieked like a spirit of evil, the window
sashes rattled, and a huge tree, which grew close
to my room, grated harshly against the aide of
house, as If begging for admission from the cold
without. Who could bo coming to visit me on
inch a night ? But I soon put an end to tlie mys
tery by opening the door. A shble son of Africa
entered, handed-me a delicately perfumed billet
anil departed. It was directed In’a remarkably
neat female hand to “Mr. Thomas Jefferson Jem
kina" I broke the seal and mil:
“Miss Johnson presents her compliments to
Mr. Jenkins, and availing herself of tho privi
lege Which iW Year gives the ladles, requests
tho pleasure of bis company to-morrow evening.
Miss J. begs tbe honor of the visit i
to commnnlcatc a matter ofpuculla
Mr. J. BW deems It proper to.'Btato Mils much
In ofder.Jhat lie may not expect to find a party
to go about my usual business; bnt In vain. I
could think ofnotlililg but Miss Johnson and
my evening’s engagement—fof I hail determin
ed to comply with her request. I turned the
matter over In my mind In 'every shape and
form, Imt to no purpose. Shu was rich and
bountiful—I, though not ns poor us Job’s turkey,
had nothing to Invest III Bank stock. Why monn, oil
shouldnho fancy mo? I couldn't understand 11, dl had Issned
and so determined to nwnit tho Issue.
1 should say that my heart pulsated audibly aa
1 pulled tho hell that evening nt the rich Mr.
Joluisott’s door. I am not sure that I hrard It
bent, hut would lie willing In take nil oath Hint 1
felt as Ifit would hnminor its way through my.
vest. 1 was ushered luto the parlor where a
comfortnhlo fire wns burning. I had been seated
but a few minutes when a rustling of silk at
tracted my attention, and Miss Johnson entered
the room.
Miss Johnson was a graduate of a (email! col
lege, and,o/conw,accomplished. .We bcgnnnn
that original und seldom mentioned topic, the
weather, and soon glided Into quite u plensnnt
and Interest tete-a-tete. After a time, however, I
noticed a certain norvousness of manner In
my fair companion, which I readily attributed to
the peculiarity of her position. Until the eve
ning previous I had not dreajnod of entertaining
for her anything approaching to a lender pas
sion, but my sfngularly susceptible heart nail
been gradually warming tnwnrda her, until now
I felt ou Hie point of relieving her il'nm all em
barrassment, by getting on my knees and de
claring in v attachment. But It was Leap Year,
anil I couldn’t think of Interfering with Hu-
young Indy’s privilege—so I held my pence und
allowed the silence which had ensnud to remain
unbroken. At length the fair one remarked,
In a singularly bwcoI tone of voice, which mnde
my heart thump hard against my ribs :
‘‘You are doubtless anxious to know, Mr.
Jenkins, why you were summoned hero this eve
ning?”
Now, Jenkins, said I, mentally, It's coming,
old fellow. Bear up bravely, mid net like a man.
Don’t be frightened out ol your wits. Hnving
Who ever knew a woman nerved myself by this mental confab, I remarked
audibly, that “ I had some lltyle curiosity On that
point/’
“ Not to keep you longer hi, suspense, then,
you must know that a lady friend of mine has
fallen In love With yon, and-baa deputised me to
Inform you of thu fact. She Is young ami weal
thy,- beautWul, accomplished ami amiable. I
have her likeness, which 1 will show yon when
you have agreed to the terms 1 shall propose.
With all her good qualities, my fr iend Is remark
ably ceeentrie. Shu has determined to, marry
without an hour’s courtship. She has heard of
von and has made such enquiries ns satisfy her.
I am ready to pledge my word that all I Imve
said in her favor la true to the letter. Her pro
perty is niiiule, anil wjll be entirely under your
control. Her family is one of the best in-tlic
country. Are you willing to marry lier'? If you
answer in tlie aHIrmntlve, I will give you thu
likeness, which l hold In my hand, and the mar
riage wiil take place In this room to-morrow eve
ning."
Kathertlght papers, I thought, to he called ou
to marry, nt such short notice, a girl I had never
seen qur heard ol' until that moim-iil. Hut thu
words “beautiful,” “wealthy," “amiable,’’ “good
family," “property all under your corn rol," kept
ringing in my ears, urging me to decide In the
affirmative. I wns getting old enuugli to marry,
too, nud there might never be another chance.—
I believe I’vo already remarked that young la
dles, generally, are unt partial to (he name of
Jenkins, and It occurred to me Hint I'd Improve
this opportunity. Miss Johnson sat gazing luto
the fire, keeping up lu Alio meantime n drum
ming on the carpet with the prettiest little loot
imaginable. I looked up and caught her eye;
“Have you decided ?” she asked.
“ I have, and hi the affirmative,” was iny re
ply. A
Inn moment the miniature was In ray hand,
and I gazed upon the most beautiful face I lmd
ivor seen. I was In raptures, nud could have
{ lone upon iny knees to tlie young lady for help,
ng mo to such an angel for a wife. My Joy was
too great for words, however, nud I left with a
promise to he prompt In my,attemlniiee the. fol
lowing .evening.
My wedding night came, and, with a friend lo
“see me through/' I was ushered Into Mr. John
son’s parlor. A dozon persons were present.
We were introduced to such as were not already
known to us, uud I took a scat by Miss Johnson,
leaving my friend to take care of himself. I
learned that everything was 111 readiness for the
ceremony. My* Intended wns in an adjoining
room, wullhcr I repaired to Join her. Bho was
even more beautiful than the picture, anil T was
the happiest muu alive. We were Introduced,
Imt I could only press her hand. It was not to
be wondered at that neither of us spake. Every
thing being In readiness, wo" proceeded to the
parlor nnd were made man and wife after the
most approved fashion.
It Is not considered polite, I believe, for a man
to talk exclusively to tils wife on the evening of
his wedding, and as my acquaintance with my
better half was extremely limited, I was very
well content to circulate among the other
ladles, and leave Mra. Jenkins to be entertained
by the other gentlemen. In tho course of tbe
evening however, I got a scat by my wife, and
tried to get up a conversation with her, bin, her
conduct was Inexplicable. I made several'ie-
maVks intended to be very aftbctioiiatc—such ns
I Imagined a newly married man would natural
ly make to his wile—but she gazed into my lace
without answering a word. I tried again nnd
again, with the same want of success. Wliul
could it mean ? She was not dumb, for I hud
heard her apeak several times during the eve-
ning, nnd her voice wns singularly musical. I
had been udvlaed of her cecentrleity, but a
plague on such ccooutrlcity ns this I I lind’nt
bargained for It. The crowd dually left, and
my wife, Miss Johnson and myscll were alone.
I determined to solve the mystery; I did so, nnd
what, think yon, ldnd reader, \yiis the result"
Mg wife me as deaf as a post! ’ Yes, sir! yol
might have tired off a cannon within un Inch of
her car and sho would scarcely have heard U.
Was’nt I In a tlx ? And yet sue was so pretty
and seemed so nffortlonnte that I conld’nt help
loving her In apltq of this great defect, which,
after all, was a misfortune, and not n fault.
Mary—that was'my wife’s name—wns quite
rich and as I had control of everything, I soon
settled myself (n as nice n habitation aa onr
town afforded. My wife wan very clever and
amiable—bnt vei/deafl Anything In the way
of private, conversation was out of thc question.
All tho neighbors could hear mu when I spoke
to her at all. Sometimes my friends called to
see me and then sbchyelllugnnd screaming were
kept up ns would ihnme a madhouse. I could
neither read nor. write, on account of the horri
ble clatter kept up by tbe servants. In ttauir ef
forts to get to Mary’s ears. Passing stmugnrn
were constantly stopping before, my bonne, at
tracted by the yelling and bowling within. Thu
truth Is, there’s no denying It—I was a miserable

of mind, und I began to fear that the din and
noise would drivo me crazy.
One morning my wife met inc at the door with
a letter. It wns from hcrauut, an old lady living
some'distance’[off, .who proposed lo liny us
a visit. She would arrive that day, and I must
meet her at the ears. I did so and found—hor
ror of horrors—that she mu as itenfasaiy wife!
I hadn’t the heart to say anything to the old
lady on the way home. I wan thinking of what
was to follow. When wo drove up, Mary wns
standing at the door, waiting to welcome Aunt
Betsy. '
“I am delighted to see you I” yelled my wife,
ns the old lady ascended the steps.
“How do you do, iny dear?" screamed tho
Aunt In return, while thu windows rattled, and u
pair of passing horses, unaccustomed to the
uolse, were nearly frightened Into a run.
When I entered tbe parlor there they sal ou
each side of tbe fire place, aud sucli a yelling!
You’d have thought a whole tribe ef Cherokee
Indlaus was present. . . „
Aunt Betsy's visit was to last two weeks.
Every day the howling coutlnncd. They seem

kept up “from morn 'HI dewy, eve," I reckon

Affairs in Itoly-Garilialdt'a Expedition.
We clip the following Interesting Rents from
the AmWaV malls:
Garibaldi has landed with bis followers on tlie
Sicilian const nt Mnrshla, a place famous for Its,
wine. It was previously kunwn Hint tlie ships
' into ami Lombardo, In which his forces
- leaving Genoa, had touched at Tnlo-
tho Unman frontier, and that Garibnl-
ssued a characteristic proclamation
against tho Neapolitan Bourbon, tbo Pope, nnd
the Austrians. Tho telegram from Turin states
that lour men were killed In landing, and it
adds that other supplies ol' arms, which enme
from tho Levant, fur the uso of tho Insurgents,
had previously arrived ou the southern const of
Sicily.' The- ton
about8,000. , .
This new movement cannot fail to soriously
complicate the Italian question, the settlement
of which u sh irt time hack nppenred to he so
smooth and savlslhctory. Count Cuvour'n de
claration that he has done all In bin power to de
feat tlie plans ofthc volunteers, aud that ho was
surprised nt their departure, is hardly likely to
produco conviction In certain quarters; but It Is
remarked, on tlie other hand, that the French
press Is now speaking with respeetaud admira
tion of Garibaldi; a proof, It Is surmised, that he
Is In great favor nt present with the higher au
thorities of tho TiilUcrlcs. But whatuver may
liethll the Government of the Two Sicilies, It has
only to thank Itself tor the perilous position In
which it la now placed. Two or three years
back the Western rowers urged the necessity of
connesslou on the Into king, Imt the advice was
received with insult, and the uew ruler is tread
ing In the abomlnnblo policy of hts father. A
short time will reveal strango incidents.
Garibaldi's expedition continues to be the
principal subject of remark In tho Faria press.
The ConsUtuttonnel publishes two long articles
ly in 'yhi'
ou tbo matter, In which, after dcclnrlug Hint
every Government In* Europe—nnd that of
France among the first—hlaines the attempt now
made,.the writer proceeds to argue that the
Piedmontese Cabinet Is leas to hlnine than many
■nay suppose far allowing the preparations to be
'carried cm without Interference. Tho article
terminates by alluding to the rumors which have
been prupnguted of England having Instigated
Garibaldi. Such a report the writerloolts on as
perfectly absurd. England, he observes, had all
along acted band In hand with Frauee in making
representations lo the Neapolitan Government
on tbe danger which attended Its denial of rea
sonable reforms, lmd broken off diplomatic rela
tions nl tbesamu time, ami bad resumed them
hi concert with France. Why, then, suppose
Hint at present England should suddenly - depart
from her clone connection with her ally, and act
separately lu a matter which experience lead
shown could liu best brought to a conclusion by
the united efforts of both Government!)
. SSHDINIA’B POBITION.
A cabinet council was held twice at Turin on
the 8th, and on the second occasion tho King
presided. On thu Oth It snt again. To tho pro
test of Signor Cnootiiri, the Neapolitan mlnlstor,
Count Cavour has replied “that (lie constitution

regretted that It could not give a more satisfac
tory answer to the Neapolitan minister.” From
tho republican Uultaltallana to tbe conscrvnllva
Persoveranzn, there is, of course—-with the cxcep
Hon of the clerical press—not a nuwspaper lu
Piedmont, Lombardy nnd Central Italy, which
does not spunk with euthuslnsin of Gnrlbnfdl’s
bold enterprise.
OAUinAl.nt AND THE KINO OE SAItnlNLl,
An extract from a private letter, written by
Oarlhuldl, makes the following statement:
“I wns on the point of making the King ac
quainted with my project. He himself admitted
to mo with Hint admirable frankness which dis
tinguishes him, that in order tonttaln unity,
Italy required to he freed from tho rotten (sic)
ways of ministerial diplomacy. I did not go
further for tho moment, t did mean to toll him
nil about It a few days lieloro my departure, but
I must have gone to Bolognn to nee him, nnd 1
really had not the time. Besides, I thought It
more prudent on the whole to keep thu secret
from him. Hu would havo prevented me front
going forward, and I could not have resisted
any order from auch un unique nnd perfect King
unteo e perfetto.) I could not think without
transport upon the fact that the Sicilians lmd
been waiting for us for a month, mid I overruled
every other consideration to lly to their succor.’’
THE TIMES ON OAltUtALDl'S EXPEDITION.
Thu London Times, of the 18th, says:
“A man like Garibaldi Is sure to do something
worthy of note; If not successful, he will nt
least he heroic; if be does not subvert, lie will
.'■■hake a throne; If thu Sicilians do not remember
hhn as a deliverer, thcyjvill cherish Ills memory
as a martyr. Ho will neither sneak out of bis
enterprise, like u Spnnisli Bourbon, nor will he
enrry It on hi a manner to insure tho dostrnetlon
of himself nnd Ills followers, like John Brown.
He may fhil, but ho will have carried terror to
the heart of the worst government of Europe;
lie will have lighted a candle In the south of
Itoly which will never ho put out, and, Uioiigli
he may not live to see the tiny, yet the liberation
of the whole Peninsula from that Jlmddoin which
the north has already thrown off will he princi
pally his work.
“When every hour may Ijrlng strange and Im
portant Intelligence, It Is perhaps useless lo lu-
dulgeln speculations. But, according to wlmt
we have already learnt, Sicily Is by this time In a
Hume, and not only the Island, but also Calabria
and the Abruzzl. The course of events lias been
R imieh ns follows; On tho night of the
st., the expedition set out from Genoa,
Garibaldi having seized two steamers, belonging
to a private company. The force amounted, U
la said, to 3,000 men, nud after making. It would
seem, somewhat of a detour to avoid the
Neapolitan cnilserB, It reached the const of
8iclly, and landed at Marsala on the 11th,
pushing on to Calata Ftral and Alcnmo, where
the lusurgents are now concentrated. The
reports connected with the landing are Very
contradictory. An nfllelal despatch from
Rome, dated May 14, says that two Neapolitan
frigates have sunk tho steamer Lombardo, nud
captured the Piedinbnte, while, front Turin It Is
reported, nnder date of the tilth, that the Flcd-
monte lmd not been captured. It seems, likely,
imeom-eru on any such event. He, of course,
merely used them tii get to the island; tbo no
tion of sending them buck for reinforcements la
absurd.
