Th* Xtw Opposition Party
Ills out duty to watch closely the current of
polttieaJ events, and from Mm* to time to bring to
the public notice, such things as deeply interest
the people Tho “Central Executive Committee”
of the American party of Georgia, have, in a for*
■ml and an authoritative wanner, refused to cali
a Convention for the purpose of re-organising its
forces for th-i approaching fall elections. Instead,
however, they havo called ail “Opposition Con
vention” which is to he composed of all “who are
known to be opposed to the party in power.”—
This call and this movement, means far more than
meet* the eye, and ifit shall prove successful, its
results will bo more disastrous to the South, than
any similar effort which has been inaugurated
•me* the year 1840. This new move upon the po
litical boards, originates not with our people, nor
does it eome from those who seek our advantage
as slave holders and members of the Aworican
Union. Every reading and wall informed man
has seen that, for more than twelve months past,
eoastaai and untiring efforts have beer, mado In
the North to unite all the elomeut* of opposition
to the Democracy, with the hope of oarrytng the
next Presidential election. Who is so stupid and
so ignorant as not to havo seen the efforts of
Horace firoely, of the “Tribane,” of Gov. Hunt,
and others of Now York, to arrange nnd reconcile
all conflicting opinions, by simply giving the slave
question th* go-by: and thus affording an oppor
tunity to their friends in the Bontb to form upon
the same general line of opposition to the Democ
racy ? Where is the man who does not know
that John Minor Butts of Virginia, looking to the
same thing, addressed a largo party of these one
mice cf the Democracy, and we had almost said
of the country too, at the Academy of Masjc, In
New York City, last February ? Who has for
gotten tha effort of Mr. Hives, at Richmond, teach
lag in the very heart of the Old Dominion, that
the slave question bad occupied too much of the
publiomuid, and that ire ought to unite with the
conservative men of the North, to drive the Bern
oeratie party from power, because that party
leaned itself to the agitation of this question, well
knowing as he did, that Democratic agitation was
in dt/tndtHy our rights as slaveholders. Every
well informed man knows, that the Black Repub
Beans have not agreed to the proposition tor a
Union, because of the want of political power iu
the hands of the Southern “opposition” foroes,
wherewith to cover the losses which might follow,
oven tha ignoring es the slave question to them in
tha North. They are well pursuaded, that, as
matters now stand, they ore stronger without this
anion of “Opposition” foroes, than they would b
wit hit, hence, they have not ysi synef to let the
plan be consummated. But should the “Opposi
lion” carry three or four of the Southern Slates
in the coming elections, and thus possess them
aalves of some political capital, wherewith they
might he able to invest something in th* partner
ship to he formed, then, they will be heard, ami
no doubt one harmonious whole may be witness
•4 piping the same tun* of “down with the Demo
eracy” from one eud of the cnuulry to the other.
Let tho country remember that bow safe soever
It might ha to luvest this now “Opposition” parly
with power for IU own use, yet when it to well
known, that It will be transferred at once to the
vileet enemies the Houth has ever had, we ought
to look to iU defeat as the greatest necessity of the
times. It may ha thought, purbaps, that the
foots do not warrant us Iu such bold assertion, but
let us look at them. Who to it that makes up
the “Opposition” at the North to the Democratic
party, and who must form by fkr the largest por
tion of this great new party ? As in 1840, the
power given by tha South to her sons was trans
(erred to those who had been her worst euemics.
So in 1860 will we witness a repetition of the *aure
thing, If wa are guilty of the same stupidity and
folly. Who does not know that the
anti-internal Improvement, and anti-Tariff party
of the South fell at ooec into the arms of the
Federal Whig party of the North,whieh advocated
the establishment of a Bank of the United Sates,
]eternal improvement* by the general govern
ment, and the highest protective Tariffs ? Are
w* never to learn wisdom from experience f These
meu of the “Opposition,” North, have been the
Steady, eonstaut, obstinate and bitter foes of ala
very from the commencement of the agitation un
til the preeeut time. Cau Georgia forget that
the great bulk of the Black Republican* are the
very earn# Whigs, who, when Florida asked ad
* mission into the Uuion, being a slave fftate. that
the Northern Whig vote in th* Benate, and House
wet against her f Can they forget that not a
Whig vote for the admission of Texae could be
had from the entire North, either in the House or
th* Benate ? Can they forget that in IH4V every
Whig RepreMutativ# from th* North voted for
the Wiimot Proviso? Can the men of the Bouth
ever ferget, that whilst our Constitution gives us
the right to re capture our slaves in the free States,
that out of the 73 Whigs from the North, 70 of
thorn voted against the Fugitive Slav* law ? We
point them to th* record, when tbs, South and
bar friends, In the North, were trying to lift the
Wiimot Proviso from the Territory of Nebraska
Md Kant*#, Mid they will see there recorded
against It every Whig vote from the entire North.
And yet, these very #aioe men do form th# greet
hedy of this “National Opposition” party, eud to
whom, we believe, would be transform! all politi
oal pewer which shall be given to ‘ Opposition”
parties Rottth. We ask the people of this country
If ktotory and experience are to he disregard
ed? We call upon the Democracy to oave these
“Opposition’ UK'u from themselves.

The Bnulh is almost entirely Democratic.
Then why hope, under another name, to construct
a bettor Southern party thuu the old Democratic
party has always been? It is the only party that
has ever done anything for the South or contend
ed for those great and vital painoipivs which arc
bar very life-blood. The people know how to up
preciate these everlasting demagogue erica of
Democratic extravagance in administering (lie
governuiont, and know (hat they aro made by
cold and hungry office seekers and place hunter.-,
who themselves are starving tor the loaves uud
fishes of the Federal Government. The old #t<>

party may perhaps bn too extravagant in some
respects, but not more so than would be these
hungry follows similarly ultuuted.
As the .South is already Democratic, and as the

The following is au abridged translation of an
article in tho Eieelt, writteu by M. Auatnlede la
Forge :
The saying of Beautnnrcha is about calumny
will ho eternally true. Ho here is one of tho most
honorable of meu represented as a bandit chief.
In the opinion of many, to this day Garibaldi to
something between a Fra Dlavolo and a Gaspar
oue. People ascribe to him every crime commit
ted in Italy for the last fifteen years; and tho
stories told to his discredit are enough to sturtlc
a whole audience at tho Porte-Haiut Martin.
Joseph Garibaldi was born on the 4th of July.
1807 ■, bis family have always lived iu thut sen
port, and several of them aro living there now. -
They have supplied the Sardinian naval service
with exeeileiitseauum, and have invariably enjoy
ed public estimation. Joseph, brought up on tho
ooast, among sailors and flNiiMrniAn. was indebted
to tbts rude apprenticeship of life for a part of his
physical and moral energy. Already at that (into
tho child was seen to possess most of the qualities
since devolved in the man. Adventurous and
brave, he displayed in his intercourse with his
comrades an extraordinary energy. To games,
as well as toj work, he brought a strange ardor,
but being good as well as lutrepid, Garibaldi wu
always ready to take the part of tho weak against
the strong, lie would have said willingly whut
Mnniit eays, “All injustice concerns me.” Oneof
hi* mathematical teachers, M. Arena, unw al Nice,
still spunks with emotion of his old pupil's good
qualitie*.
Garibaldi entered the Sardinian navy at an
early ago, und soon distinguished himself by his
courage and coolness. Implicated iu 1834 iu tho
Italian inturrocMotial movement, this young sen
mau, com promised at Genoa on account of a lib
eral conspiracy, found himself compelled to take
refuge iu Franco. He traveled on foot across the
uiountnius to Nice, where he toy concealed two
day# in a friend’s house, who by dressing him iu
tiie clothes of a farmer of his got him across the
Y*r. Alter passiug two years at .Murseilics, chief
ly iu the pursuit of his mathematical studies. Gar
ibaldi embarked in an Kgyptiau corvette, to go
and eerve as a naval officer in the fleet of the Bay
ol Tunis. A* ho did not meet theta with n part to
satisfy hie aetivouiiud, he could not remain longer
than a few months. Bo he soon set out for Rio
Janeiro. The nrovino# of Rio Grande del Bid
had erected itself into a republic. Our adventure
made an offer of his sword to the military govern
incut of Urugay, and received the duet command
of tho squadron iutended to act agaiust Buenos
Ayres. The contest lasted two years. During
this time the new coiumuuder. quite in his ele
ment, performed such prodigies off valor that the
natives said of him, “it to not a rnau but a devil
aud so superstition got mixed up with his name.
Ho had het'n soon in several encounters to dash
with his troops into the thick of the fight, then
reappear safe and souud, aud always vWtorious,
from these terrible engagements, where tho tight
tug was always hand to hand.
Garibaldi's influence over his troops to sorne
thiug wonderful. Hts form, llcreuloau strength,
his flue energetic and expressive head--every
thing, even his piotureque costume, contribute*
to increase the prestige be wields. At Salta ha is
surrounded—-be and MOO men -hv 8,000 enemies.
What does he do? lie slauds their fire without
stirring; lets thorn come up close, then charges
them with the bayonet, and minds thorn flying.- -
The government of Montevideo decreed .’n that
day that th* Italian legion had deserved well of
the country, and that it should take the right, the
|kmU of honor, even when with native troops, in
every engagement.
The insurrection of the Feuiusula in 1848
brought Garibaldi hack to Nice. A part of this
legiou accompanied him; with it he acted promi
nently ill the war of independence agaiiml the
Austrians in the Southern Tyrol, where as a
-harpshooter be incessantly harassed their ar

At Rom* Garibaldi was tho soul of the resist

of the operation* during th* siege, did justice to
the energy and skill or his adremarv. it wa* im
possible, in fact, to make umre of th* poor re
source# tofr at the disposal of the Usiegi'd. The
volunteers fought there like veteran troops. On
May , at Palestrina, he defeated the Neapolitan
army, twice superior iu numbers to his own. A
frw day* later, M Vclletri. where he was severely
wounded, be wa# still to wiu the honors of
the day. Finally, he sustained for a whole
mouth th* attacks of our valiant arrnv, aud,
m nil the officer* admit, with admirable presence
of mind. The entoodu of the Bth bastion, rep
resented by the brilliant pencil of Horace Vcmc.t,
rives an exact idos of the energy displayed in
that defene*. in the loot council of war held at
iloßu-, Garibaldi, on being called upon to stute
hi# opinion*, proposed Joe employment of ex
ranie mcaaureai but they were not approved.—
He then toft (be sooredfity with the remnant of
ui* little army, traversed the enemy’s lines, ami
withdrew to the neighborhood of Ht. Morin.-
There his troops disbanded. Garibaldi reached
Genoa with two hundred soldiers, who bad re
fused to 1 oave him. At the end of a few months
be returned to America, where be engaged very
ictively in trade and industry. About 1842 we

“I shell go book in her life a number of years,
und spook of the event which inode her uitmo one
of curious interest. Before she became Mrs. Ed

lather was Wilson < ary, Esq., of “Geley*,” in the
county of Eli/.nbeth^City, descended from the no->

9 [Resolved, That the only general party organ

the South in negro property to the Democratic
party; thut the overthrow of that time honored
party will ensure the triumph of Black Kepubli
enns, under whose ml# it is impossible for tho
Houtharn people to live without moral dog rad a

therefore, we believe it is the imperative duty of
every patriot to labor zealously for tho sucrees of
Democrat!* nominees, and the carrying out of
Democratic principle* in the administration ofthe
Vvalarwi ft>.\ r vn\ uimil.
The above resolution was adopted recently at
a Democratic meeting in Montgomery, on the
suggcHtiou of that inflexible State Rights Dem
ocrat, Capt. Lomax li to so truthful and appro
priate that wo republish and invite special uttcii
tion to it. We confess and deplore the fact, that
on the subject of the Tariff and Expenditures
many Northern Democrats have deserted the tra
ditional sad established policy of our party, nnd
that iu the various phases of the Kansas ques
tion there has been incurable defection, but iW
the resolution is unquestionably true, that the
Democratic party is the only general organization j
which even profess respects for the rights of the
South. Heretofore, on all distracting questions,
pertaining to slavery that party has furnished our
only northern friends ami supporters. Grievous
as has been the departure of many from the true
liue of constitutional duty, still, to-day, iri the
North, outside of that organization, thcie are
none to befriend us.

VMIor Ivcraon. anti for appropriation to Support
and Educatelbe Africans or the toko.
A rather ungenerous, if not insidious attempt
has been mud* to iiupr*** the public mind with the
belief that Senator Iverson voted for the appro
priation of 75,000 dollars, for the support and edu
cation of the Africans who wore captured on the
Slaver Echo, and sent to Africa by tbe President,
in tbe United States steamship Niagara. It to
straQge what a disposition there to amniigst the
opponents of Judge Iverson, not only to dispar
age him, but to misrepresent him. If this spirit
and practice came from the Opposition, we nhould
not be surpriaed at it, but that they should
proceed from political friends, members of the
name party with Judge 1., and who are inter**tod,
or ut least should be, in preserving the fair fame,
character and usefulness of it* faithful public ser
vant, or at leaet to do them justice, w consider
exceedingly strange, and unworthy of ihose who
stoop to Mach a game to ndvanen political or per
sonal favorites. Tho history of the question in
relation to the appropriation alluded to il, that on
the Ifitb of Fobruury, last, tbe Consular and Di
plomatic bill being under consideration in the
Senate, Mr. Clay moved to strike out “seventy
five” in tbe ninety-third line ofthe sth page of
the bill, which wa*in these words, viz: “To un
able tbe Bresident of the United Bute* to carry
into effect the act of Congress of the 3d of March,
1810, aud any subsequent act* now in force for
the suppression of the slave trade, #75,001).” Upon
this motion, a spirited and Houiewhst protracted
debate sprung up--Air. Clay’s motion was sup
ported by the mover, and by Messrs. Brown, Ma
son and Iverson—it was opposed by Me*sr.
Hunter, Fessenden, Seward, Wilson anil Cling*
man. The latter gentleman made an argument
urging the validity aud binding force ofthe whole
contract made by the Bresldent with tin* Ameri
can Colonization Society, which contract embrac
ed tiic support aim education of these African*
for twelve months after being landed in Africa,
and for which SBO,OOO of the appropriation wa*
to be applied. Judge Iverson made a short
Hpeech iu reply to Mr- Clinguiuu, in which he
contended that the Bresident hud exceeded his
authority in making the contract—that tbe law
did not authorise him to engage for the support
and education of captured Africans, and that
therefore, the contract wu.h null and void, and
ought not to be carried out —wo quote only the
substance and purport of the speech. [See Con
gressional Globe. ; Bart 2, of the 2d session, 35th
Congress, page 1,055.] On tbe motion to strike
out, the yea* were 12, nay* 40. The yeas wore,
Messrs. Chestnut, Clay, Davis, Fitzpatrick, Hum
inond, Iverson, Johnson, of Tenn., Mason, Raid,
Thompson, off Ky., Toombs and Ward—so the
motion to strike out, was rejected. It to true,
that on the final passage of tbe bill, Judge Iver
son voted in the affirmative, with the great body
of the Democratic members. He bad voted
against the clause appropriating money for these
Africans—he box! Opposed the appropriation by
debate, but he did nut consider it proper to vote
down the whole bill because of that one obnox
ious portion in it. It contained important prin
ciples--appropriation* for our whole Diplomatic
service. The loss of the bill would have saspend
ud all our Diplomatic relation* with other gov
ernment*, aud would hare been attended with in
calculable ill*, lie acted,; therefore, with the
mass of Dt'iuocratic Senator* in voting for the
final puxHuge of the bill. In this, we think he
did not favor tho support and education <.f tbe
African*, but not being able to strike that obnox
ious item from the bill, he preferred to sustain
other grave and important objects, even at theix
pense of retaining an isolated clause which al -
though objectionable in itself, woe not off sufficient
consequence to justify the defoatoftho whole bill.
Doos this identify him with the friend* of that
obnoxious appropriation, or fairly subject him to
the charge of having voted for it ? Wo think not,
and wo think no candid or impartial tnau wdl
differ from our conclusion.
Opposition meeting In Ip^on
On the fitk of the present mouth, the newly
itaiued opposition party ol Upson county had u
political meeting, which was largely attended
U' tiuva l,on AuiaMd si some of the resolutions
adopted. One (the Bth, ) denounce* the “squat
ter sovereignty” doctrine in very unmeasured
torms, and pronounces U “ worse than the Wiimot
Broviso; indefensible in principle and dangerous
in practioo; the most monstrous doctrine ever
advanced by an Auiericuu statesman, aud that
t,e people of the South ought ut and will not
submit to it.” These are brave words of tbe Up
son patriot* end would do tho hearts of all triu-
Houthern rights men good, if they could only
j make any body think they were in earnest. Jtqt
j should this “squatter sovereignty” doctrine lm
applied by Congress to any future territory, whut
would tho Upson opposition party do? Would
they resist to “tho disruption of every tie thut
binds Georgia to the Union ?” Oh not their ve
ry first resolution declare* a “cordial, habitual
and immovable attachment to the Inion, which
they are ready to defend with their lives, Ac.
from attacks from all and every quarter!”
The vaporiug bluster of these quandam follow
ers of Esm, reminds u* of our school-boy times,
when a smart, sharp little fellow would make a
mark on the ground and thiiVhis big untagoufot to
toe it; when toed, he would retreat back a few feet
and make another mark, and utter his daring bra
vado again ; but would still retreat, as hi* bolder
rival approached, and when hard pressed, would
finally turn and run like a dog.
The llth resolution of this high sounding par
ty meeting, expresses the “thanks and gratitude
of the meeting to the Hon. R. B. Trippe, for bis
faithful , conservative and able services, as the
Representative of that Congressional district, Ac.”
Why didn’t Mr. Trippe vote for the Kuglish bill ?
Where are the thunders of the K.ujuinr ‘ Wc
are expecting every morning to hoar clap uffor
clap hurled at the devoted heads of tho Upsou
meeting, for daring to call any mtm faithful, who
voted for that “ bill of abominations.” But wc
have no right to interfere witfi the family disci
pline of other ;people, and therefore leave the
Upton meeting aud Mr. Trippe, to the fonder mer
cies of our neighbor, who is doubtless more wil
ling, aud certainly more able, to inflict the proper
punishment upon those erring children of uncle
Ham’s household.
OppoHUlon Meeting tn Muscogee
We have been very favorably struck with an
honest confession made by the Committee report
ing ruHolut ions to this meeting. It is admitted by
the Committee and •'unanimously adopted ” by 1
tho mooting, that “Party platforms and declara
tions of principle* are made for form only. Ail
experience teaches that however definitely laid
down, or solemnly announced, they art made to
yield to expediency, and arc never in tho way of
tho success of the party aud tho triumph of Us
office seokers.”
We do appreciate truth, even though it comes
from the “Opposition,” nnd that, too, in writiug
out its own life aud conduct. If there ever were
a party which could devoutly lay its bonds upon
its heart, with eyes piously rolled towards heaven,
and exclaim iu the agony of its despair, that.
“Platforms and declarations of principles are
uiado for form only” U to the Rtate Right*, Whig,
Constitutional Union, Amerioau, “Opposition”
party of this Btate.
There’s no use in saying that it’s the Democra
cy referred to. Cause why. the people know that
you ought not to have auy oonfuleuce in party
platforms.

The Nrw Opposition Port) to be a Seutbcrn Right*

It to very gratifying to the true Southern men
oftbtoStateto observe, that among the elements
composing the Opposition, there i* manifested
some spirit, and some knowledge that there to a
South, with rights to defend and honor to protect
We are not infusible, however, to the ta<t, that
Southern patriotism did not run *o high iu 1850,
with there modem defender* of the South, as it
doe* at this time, when there to no practical ques
tion before the country to test their sincerity.
When we read or hear brave words spoken by
these men, nine years after the battle has been
jouyht uud lost, wc are reminded forcibly of tbe
“famous Ferguson” of Engifob history, who wa*
“always bravo Uoforu tbe nliar and cowardly in
tbe field,” and whose courage was remarkable at
all times, except when Iherewa* un enemy about.
Wc know these ardent Bout hern men will par
don u* for culling their attention to tbe fact that,
although note clad in sfoei. and ready for the
fight, they .Rood with arm* folded, and saw Cali
fornia, with a sea coast front of DMM) miles *n tbe
Badfic, brought into the Union a free Htate, in
open violation of the Constitution, and every pre
cedent, from the commencement of the govern
ment to that time. They stood by quietly and
uw the northern boundary of Texas—a slave
State—cut down from 3fi° 30’ to 32°, and ail that
domain put into New Mexico, whore it wjm wdl
known thut slavery did not exist. With feeling*
unmoved and undisturbed, they saw the Congress
of tbe United Btatoaexerei e the right to oboltoh
slavery in tho District of Columbia, by declaring
that if h slave were brought into the District for
tiie purpose of being sent to the South for sale,
such slave should be libemte4, and free, well
knowing that the intent with whiub tbe owner
brought hi* slave into the District, could not
change the constitutional power over tha subject,
and that if they could abolish for one reason they
could for another.

The movemeutn of tho ** Opposition” at the
South, appear to have received anew iiupetu*
from the partial succee* of the Opposition ticket
in Virginia. In most of the Southern Htates.
active efforts ore making to give vitality and vigor
t*i the Opposition party. In Kentucky, Tennes
m:*, Georgia, and elsewhere, the movement* of
thto clous of politician* arc unusually active, but
net quite of a character to give encouragcnic-iU,
•r afford real aid and comfort to the Opposition
in tho Northern States. It is just becoming an
open question whether the great Opposition party
of 1860 shall adopt the platform of the Republi
cans. and go to the people on the freedom issue,
or whether it will raise the slavery banner, as did
Goggiu in Virginia, and fight the Bresidential
battle iu the name of that hitherto hated institu
tion. .Since nearly all the Opposition paper* at
the North encourage a union of those opposed to
the Democratic party, it is to he presumed that
they erpect to abide the result of a Convention,
and take their chances as to the platform. Oth
erwise, it is difficult to understand how they can
be sincere in their professions, and earnest in be
half of such a political organization.
It would be amusing to see the Albany Evening
Journal, the New York Tribune, and the Boston
Daily Advertiser, -ustaining a candidate for the
Presidency, running on an extreme pro-slavery
platform, like that which bore Goggia through
ihe late contest in Virginia. On tbe other hand,
it would afford some cause for curious speculation,
shook! tbe Southern branch of the Opposition,
lod on by the Louisville Journal and the Rich
mond Whip, agree to adopt the platform ofthe
Seward and Bank# leaders at the North. At pre
sent the Southern of the Opposition out

A letter from V alen/.u, of tbe 18th of May, in
the Salut Ramie, ot Lyons, says;
I was yesterJay at a case with the officer* ofthe
: 30th, at the gate of tbe Albergo, when a loud cry
iof “ Vive V Empereur !” arose. It was the Em
j peror, who had arrived unexpecte<Ry <>u horse

! carted by ouly a few officers. In a few minutes
th* whole population woe on fool, the streets wr#
decked with flay, aud drums were beaten to col
lect ihe troops. Hie Majesty proceeded slowly
by the stret which leads to an eminence from
which the naked eye cau sec the vast plain* of
| ibu l*.. u<i ih* Lotuellma. Th* position being
I within reach of caunon, was not without danger,
j 1 had tbe honor of approaching the Emperor,

He smiled and questioned me on tbe positions of
the Austrian*. 1 ,ih<>w*d him detachment* of
their troops uu the bauka of the river, th# village
Frescarolo, aud in tb* horrizon Mortara, their
’ head-quartets. His Majesty by means of his
I glass could see su Austrian soldier on the watch
j in th* boifry of the church of Fraaoaroio, and
even distinguished the hour by the clock. On
the left is a railway bridge, of which the oneuiy
has blown up two arches, and which he guards
with 200 or 300 men. Tbe shako** of reutinel*
ou the iuuiks of tbe river could he distinguished
her# and there. Tho Emperor then conversed
with some ofthe Italians; his Majesty speaks pure
Tuscan, and with a facility which surprised his
j hearers. After an inspection, which lasted about
20 minutes, the Emperor turned to leave. As he
I did so, th- troops who were drawn up in a tine
i waved their shukoes on their bayonet*, and cried
j out a thousand times, “ Vive T Empereur !” An
j old Italiou patriot, who had been iu exile .since
! I*4B. approached, and cried out, with tears
i creaming down hi* face. “ Firs Aaptdeone, il
I Salvatore della Italia /** The Emperor secured
; affected, aud saluted him kindly. At that moment
the Emperor's eye met mine, and in the emotion
ofthe moinout I ventured to hold out my hand.
IlisMujesty deigned with a smile to grasp it. This
is an iucideat which I shall never forget as long
o*l live. The Kuiiwn-or then left by the gate of

Now that th* Austrians have left Vercelli and
Tortona, we have the full details of their barbar
ous exploits. It wonld occupy some columns of
your jwzper were I to record tbe endless lint of
their atrocities. What is more shameful is, that
these outrages of Croats ami Lancers and Bohe
mian Infantry were encouraged by generals and
officers. At Vercelli, the chief of the Austrian
commissariat actually stole a carriage and two
horses belonging U> Count Mela. The poor coach
man who hail driven him to Morta, thought it was
his duty to remonstrate. He was threatened
with the bastinado. The coachman then asked
to have his cloak restored to him. and th* answer
was “Mantello star Luono per miv domestieo ” (the
cloak will b# useful for my servant). You
would acaroely believe that the Austrian official
hud the impudence to write to Count Mela, thank
ing him for the carriage he had thus stolen.
An old (HioMUit of the farm Axavecchia, belong
ing to Biguor Larghi, was shot by a Croat be
cause hu could not move quickly enough. A boy
15 years old has l*een subjected to the bastinado,
at a place called the Cappuecinni. in the neigh
borhood of VorceUi. The poor lad has been re
moved to the hospital, and there is but little bope
•>f presuming hts life. At Colcnlabio, a small
hamlet, three , English mile* from Voghera, a
voung girl has been violated by an officer be-
I ngiug to the Ugolini Croat regiment. The poor
creature could not stand the shame of th# Slav
onic brutality, and threw herselfinto a well, out
of which she had been taken half dead. The
I'eautifol country house of Marquis Cusani ‘Botti
Adorno has been plundered and devastated at
Hranduxso. The valuable gallery, on* of the fi
