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. Bell and Everett Meeting at Cedar- town.

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 nmm & GREAT CLEARING OUT GALE.
