it fluttered in the breeze,
we approached the officers all
and welcomed us in the heartiest
possible manner. 1 looked around for
Oaribaldi, expecting to recognize him
from the pictures I had seen of him in
the illustrated newspapers. But among
all those covered with gold lace and de
corations there was not one I could sin
gle out as the gient patriot. While
standing conversing with a group of
colonels and majors, we saw approach
ing us- two officers; the one ahead in a
AfnSnn*a uniform n rwl liia Info Virnnct. nnv.
z
Maj or’s uniform and his left breast cov
ered with medals; the other, following
immediately behind, was dressed in a
red flannel shirt, without collar or cra
vat, a common wool hat considerably
the worse for wear, blue uniform pants
and heavy raw hide shoes. Be wore a
heavy gold watch-guard of peculiar
workmanship; and a silk handkerchief
protected his neck from the burning
sun. Imagine my surprise when he
came up to us, and extending his hand
said with asmile, "Gentlemen, allow me
to welcome you to the head-quarters of
the ‘Fillibustirof the Mediterranean.' "
This was the great Garibaldi I His face
was Very much sunburnt; and his whole
appearance bearing evidence of fatigue
and exposure.' His hair and beard are
light and considerably sprinkled with
gray, though he his hardly reached the
prime of life. The most remarkable
feature about him is eye, black and
handsome. While in repose it has
soft dreamy look, belonging rather to a
poet, painter or scholar than to an in
domitable man of action. But when
under excitement the pupil contracts,
it brightens and becomes keen, quiet
and flashing. There is nothing of the
"swaggering filibuster” about him; his
manner is easy, familiar, and modest.
He is exceedingly temporate in his hab
its, and rurely ever takes even a glass
of wine. He excused his appearance
us lie had been on his feet and in the
saddle for more than a week. He spoke
with pleasure of his residence in New
York as a candle merchant, said bis
warmest friends were Americans, and
mentioned a present Col. Colt had sent
him some time ago of one hundred re
volvers. which he regretted having left
by mistake at Genoa. He was in high
spirits, and seemed not to have a doubt
but that he would succeed in rescuin;
Sicily from the grasp of the King
Naples.
1 expressed my surprise at not seeing
him surrounded by more soldiers.—
"Appearances are sometime deceiving,
he laughingly replied; "my soldiers are
mostly peasants, who fight as your fore
fathers did—for freedom. You see
none here now; they are concealed in
the mountains around us. A single
note of the bugle will assemble two
thousand well armed resolute men.”
After inviting us to dine with him, he
excused himself until dinner was ready
to hold a consultation with two or three
officers of the rebels, who had just arri
ved in disguise from Palermo.
We dined in the shade of on olive
tree, the music of whose leaves, agita
ted by a delightful sea-breeze, was in
perfect harmony with the scene around
us. The very essence of romance
seemed poured around.the spot. The
man—probably the greatest living
patriot—and the noble yet desperate
cause in which he is engaged gave to
the meal a peculiar relish. No delica
cies were spread before us. A horse
blanket that had' made several charges
judging from its appearance,was spread
out ou the grass, und served ns a cloth;
while knap-sacks, pack-saddles, and
ammunition boxes supplied us with
seats. We haul rye-bread, boiled mut
ton, cut up into square pieces weighing
nearly a pound, in a large earthenware
vessel about tl • s'.ze and shape of a
half bushel measure, and a basket of
uscious cherries.
When asked to help myself I was at a
considerable loss to know how to pro
ceed, for neither knives, forks or plates
were to be seen, when our distinguish
ed host set the example by taking a
piece of meat in one hand and' a half-
loaf of bread in the other. A skin of
Marsela wine was brought by a peasant
which we drank out ot battered tin pots.
We were disturbed once while eating by
tlie booming of heavy guns some dis
tance off, which quickly brought us to
our feet, but they proved to be a salute
fired by one of the vessels of war in the
harbor.
After dinner Garibaldi retired to his
tent to write a letter to his friends at
Nice, which he wanted us to mail for
him. We tumbled over on the gross,
smoked "Cavour” cigars, laughed and
talked with the officers, and almost re
gretted that a previous engagement
with "Uncle Sam’’ prevented us from
joining the party.
When ready to start back. an officer
got in the carriage with us to pass us
through the rebel lines. We reached
Palermo about five o'clock.

John Bell on Slavery.—We have
already copied several extracts from
Mr. Bell’s' speeches ana writings to
show that there is no doubt as to his
soundness upon this question of vitul
interest to us in this section, and here
is another. Let our Democratic friends
read it and decide for themselves if they
are satisfied with his position :
I would not have the South truckle
or surrender any of their rights. I
would not have them yield one jot or
tittle of their rights ; but I would have
them make no questionable issues in
advance, stir up no strife upon unnec
essary, abstract questions, having
practical value, but to do always wiiat
is right upon all questions. When a
people or territory applies for admis
sion into the Union under a Constitu
tion fairly formed, with the assent' of
the people, excluding slavery, I would
admit it promptly ; and when an ap
plication comes, on the other hand,
from people of a Territory who have
fairly formed a Constitution recognizing
