He fed from a manger made of mahogany; his
room was more a parlor than a stable; and
company to the Doctor's always paid “Don
John” a visit before they left.
. Thus lived they many years, the Doctor and
his horse growing old together. “Don John”
survived his master some years; and when the
good man's will was opened, there was found
a clause appended which related to “Don
John," to this effect: that he should be given
to his youngest daughter (Mrs. Morrison) while
she lived, to be cared for as he had always
done; that he should, at his death, be buried
in his shoes, wrapped in his own rich blanket,
and enclosed in_a befitting box, in the corner
of his own burying-ground. His wishes were
religiously respected, nnd two years after I
learned this history “Don John's” bones were
buried in the comer of the old Moscly bury
ing-ground at Whitcsboro’.

Tlie Austrians have been driven from Mari
guad with a loss of twelve thousand prisoners.
The Austrians were retreating across the
river Adda.
Tlie British Ministry have been defeated in
the House of Commons, by a majority of thir
teen. Tho ministry were expected to resign
on tbn 11th Juno.
The details of the battle at Magenta were
slowly received in England and did not change
I lie first complexion. The loss was umloubt
cdly severe on both sides.
The Austrian official account only acknowl
edges from four to five thousand killed and
wounded, and says the allies lost half as many
more.
The Austrians’ headquarters are at or near
Cremona, aud they were driven from Marig-
11011 by Gen. Hurnguay Hilliers, who captured
1,200.
The latest advices say that the allies are ad
vaucing from Milan, and that Prussia showed
signs of aiding Austria.
A meeting of tlie Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany had been held, and they adopted a report
already published, and authorized the accep
tance of tho Uovcrnmcut agreement, aud the
raising of a now capital of £000,000. The
English government have guaranteed a dive
dend of eight per cent, for twenty years to
the Company, provided the cable is in work
ing order and capable of couveying one bun
dred words per hour. Tho Government also
agrees to j»ay £20,000 per annum for messa
ges, and this amount, with the sum to bo re
ceived from tho United States will probably
induce an early subscription of the ucw cap
ita).
The latest intelligence from Paris states that
the Bourse was depressed and lower, and the
tlirco per cents closed at 61.75.
The Bank of France had increased its Bul
lion near 2,000,000 francs duriug the month.
It was reported that the Prusian army would
be mobilized, and tba’. Prussia would soon
take a part in the conflict. It is said Prussia
is negotiating for the passage of her troops
through Germany. Garibaldi had beaten tuc
Austrians at Brescia. Five hundred Zouaves
were killed at Marignon- The Austrians lost
500 killed aud 1,200 prisoners. The battle
lasted nine hours. Both armies are prepar
ing for another engagement.
A special dispatch announces that Cauro-
bert was not wounded at Magenta.
The Bank of England has reduced its rates
of discount to three per cent.
The bullion had increased one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds.
The Austrians evacuated Milan on the 5th
of June. The municipal functionaries arc re
tiring to Verona, and it is supposed would dis
charge their functions iu Mantua.
Liverpool Cotton Market.—The sales of cot-
ion for the week reached 00,000 bales, of
which speculators took 1,000, and exporters
3,000 bales. Middling declined 1-lOd,
aud tho lower grades are difficult to sell at
1 Sd. decline. The market closed with a
downward tendency.
The Late U. S. Cossul at Manchester.
—At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. C. G.
Baylor, late Consul cf the United States at
Manchester, on Tuesday, the 24th of May, the
following resolution was passed and ordered
to be published in the Manchester papers:
Retohcd, That the gentlemen who compose
this meeting, having suffered through the very
questionable conduct of the late Consul, C, G.
Baylor, feci deeply sensible that the govcni-
inent of the United States has been thereby
compromised; and that, although, the said C.
G. Baylor has been very properly removed
from office, it is nevertheless, the duty of the
creditors on whom the said Mr. Baylor has so
shamefully imposed, to make the same known
to the Government, through Mr. Joseph Dan-
do, public accountant, by n respectful commu
nication to liis Excellency. James Buchanan,
Drcsident of the United States.
Tlie Steam Fire Engines.
These engines have produced n revolution
... tho affairs of our fire department, and are
beyond question almost invaluable. 1 he loo
ses of the underwriters, which in tormer years
amounted to hundred* of thousand* of dollars,
are now mere trifles. In the past yciur the
loss to the underwriters was only twenty-six
thousand dollars.
The department is now completely organ
ized by tlie arrival of n new steam engine, as
mentioned a few days since, making five in all J
and one hook and ladder company. 1 l.c cost
of maintaining the department, as now orgnu-
ized, is about twenty-six thousand five hun
dred dollar* per year. It employs fifty men.
ten for each engine, ten for the hook Mid lad
dcr company, and twenty-two horses in all.
The new engine was testwl yesterday, "“j
after the trial, christened “Sim M atkins, m
honor of a respected citizen who was <*> nnc e-

a century. In tho trial yesterday the Wat

Gen. Garibaldi.
Gen. Garibaldi is one who, as a.leader in the
present war, fills a somewhat conspicious place
in the history of the day. He is called the “pa
triot leader,” a designation which his previous
career as a professional patriot entitles him to
claim, notwithstanding the patriotic features of
tlie case in which he is now battling are so In
extricably mingled with others tUtarc not quite
so patriotic. lie is aiding the French in driving
the Austrians out of Italy, but at the same time
is accessory in the introduction of the former,
who will likely be as disagreeable tenants as
those disposed of by summary ejectment It is
the understanding that the French are admitted
as tenants at will, but tho Italians will find the
will to eject them long before they find the way.
There is no greater exercise of prophetic Tision
in asserting this than in saying that after a
gleam of lightening thesound of a thunderclap
will follow; it is only predicting a natural and
inevitable consequence.
Garibaldi is a brave man, and an able roan,
and we believe a good man; he is naturally and
conscientiously a patriot; not merely a patriot
proper, but a professional patriot; it has been
the business of his life to bo a “ patriot,” lor
when lie could not fight in that cause in his
own country he went abroad and identified
himself with the patriot cause in other lands.—
In the La Plata region, South America, where
he liallto.1 many ywiiv, a naval mmmamUr
in the patriot service, his name Is a cherished
word, nynonym of daring bravery, military ge
nius and stem virtue.
Born in Nice, in 1812, Garibaldi is now about
forty-seven years of age; he was brought up to
follow the sea by his father, a ship captain; and
his name became known to Kuro|»c when lie was
but twenty-two years old as that of a prominent
character in the insurrectionary movement of
1834. This was suppressed, and he fled from
his country, escaping from his captors, who had
condemned him to death, taking ship to South
America, where he joined tho patriots of La
Plata, and was with them during tlieir many
years of conflict, rising to high command.—
When tlie revolutionary troubles of 1848 broke
out in Italy, Garibaldi hurried to tlie aid of the
cause of patriot revolution, and arriving during
the formation of the Republic, lie was appoint
ed General of the “Legion,” a corps comprised
almost entirely of young Italian gentlemen of
family, and the flower of the army of Liberty,
The world knows with what persevering gal
lantry and marked military ability his conduct
was distinguished, lluw he combatted the
French anuy bcsciging Rome under General
Oudinot until the city was surrendered and all
hope was gone; and then, refusing to lay down
his arms, lie forced his way from tlie captured
city at the head of his gallant legion, and lead
ing the little band across the country, avoiding
or overcoming the dangers with which he was
beset by an overpowering anil everywhere pres
ent enemy, embarked them on the Adriatic
coast for Venice, with the design of assisting
lliat city against the invading Austrians. Tlie
fleet was scattered by a violent ssorm, and never
reached its destination. The ship of Garibaldi
was forced to make a harbor near the mouth of
tho Po, and he escaped across the country to
Genoa, whence he sailed for the United States.
In this country he lire*) several years, residing
part of the time on Staten Island, and part of
the time in Cincinnati, where ke kept a coffee
house and reading room that was the gathering
place of expatriated sympathizers. lie after
wards went to California and engaged in the
mercantile marine service on the Pacific, during
which he was publicly received at Lima and
Equador with distinguished honors, and was of
fered and declined a high military position,
there being no patriot cause to enlist his sym-
thies.
True to the instincts of his nature the tocsin
of war alarms liad scarcely sounded from the
plains of Northern Italy before Garibaldi ap,
peared upon the scene, and tenderinc his ser
vices to Sardinia, was at once appointed to a
hioh «imni,i«t. —I •" , * l -'V -
French against whom he fought so desperately
ten years ago, laying aside all prejudice and
personal antipathy and willing to aoccpt any
agency which might promote a great cause. As
to how lie is now acquitting himself every
steamer brings in intelligence. Ho commands

posed almost entirely of young Italian volun
teers, devoted patriots, brave, dashing fellows
whose only desire is to be laid against the foe.
lie is conducting the campaign with masterly
and brilliant address, pushing his division for
ward into the enemy's country daringly and
rapidly, but cautiously. Ho menances Milan,
and if volunteers continue to flock to his stand
ard, and he receives no countermanding orders
from liis superiors, it is possible that he may be
the first to plant the banners of Sardinia on its
captured walls and thus achieve the crowning
glory of the campaign. It is possible that he
may do so, for his soldiers idolize their leader
and at liis command will march even into the
gates of death. They are Italians and hatred

Adventures of u lUorning-Goivii.
A lady was anxious to make her husband a
present on the occasion of his birthday; and as
it happened to fall in winter, and at that tune
in a very severe winter, she thought a comfort
able morning-gown would be a roost useful ac
quisition to liis domestic comforts. So site went
to a shop and purchased a line Persian pattern
merino and well-wadded iiiorntng gojvn. She
had forgotten tho exact height of her liusbaml;
but, to make sure of its usefulness, she thought
best to purchase one rather too long than too
short. The day was. rather wet; her husband
returned in the afternoon from his office, and
she presented him with the new article of com
fort • and lie fancied it a great comfort after lie
had put oirhis wet clothes. But it was too
] on ..!_sbout ten inches too long. “ Oh, never
miniL my dear,” said the affectionate wife, *1
can shorten it to suit you.” They hail a party
in the evening; they were very merry. After
they had gone to bed, the wind was making
such a noise, and the rain so dashing against
the window, that the lady could not sleep; the
husband, however, slept soundly. She rose
without disturbing him—took tho monung-
gown, and commenced her work; cut off about
tlie length of ten inches to make it suit the
husband's stature—and then went tolled again.
She had to rise early next morning. The
husband slept well, winch is frcs,ue.jUy tl e

the morning gown. Hastening to her room,
she cut off ten inches, as she knewonihe pre

the hostebeiaoof the 1st and 3rd NAPOt.EONS,
It is a curious historical coincidence that the
battle of Montebello was the first fought by the
troops of Napoleon L after crossing the great
St. Bernard in 1800. It was one of the blood
iest and fiercest ever fought In disparity of
numbers the semblance is also remarkable.—
The New York Herald groups the facts of the
first contest:
Napoleon 1. liad then only 16,000 men, two-
thirds of whom were new soldiers, who had
never seen a shot fired, and with these lie was
to arrest the desperate march of au army of
120,000 veteran Austrians. It was necessary
for him to divide this little band to save it from
being cut to pieces licfore he could receive rein
forcements. With characteristic rapidity he
moved from point to point through Lombardy;
with lightning glance his eagle eye perceived
the movements and combinations of the enemy
under Mclas. He knew that a great and decis
ive battle must soon take place, for Mclas was
rapidly concentrating his army from all points.
To Lanncs and Murat he issued the following
brief bnt remarkable order: “Gather your
forces at tlie river Stadella. On the 8th, or tlie
9th at the latest, yotrvrill have on your hands
15,000 or 18,000 Austrians. Meet them, and
cut them to pieces; it will be so many enemies
less upon your hands on the day of the decisive
battle we ere to expect with the entire army of
Mclas,”
The prediction turned out true. . A" Austri
an force 18,000 strong advanced and posted
themselves strongly on the heights of Monte-
liello, with batteries planted upon the hill sides
which swept tlie plain. It was of the greatest
moment that this body should be prevented from
combining with the other vast forces of the
Austrians. Lanncs met them with only 8000
men, Yet they rushed on the foe with a shout
of enthusiasm," Their ranks were swept with
a storm of grapeshot. Said Lanncs, “ I could
hear the bones crash in my division like glass
in a hail storm.” For nine hours—from eleven
in the day till eight at night—the carnage con
tinued. Again and again the inangled columns
of the French rallied to tlie charge; and it was
not until three thousand of their men lay dead
on the field that the Austrians broke and fled,
also leaving three thousand dead behind them,
with six thousand prisoners,
Napoleon, hastening to tho aid of his general,
arrived just in time to see tho battle won. He
rode up to Lanncs, surrounded by the dead and
dying, his sword dripping with blood, his face
blackened with powder, and his uniform soiled
and tom by the long strife. Napoleon smiled
in silence, but did not forget the heroism of
Lanncs, whom lie afterwards created, from this
battle-field, it Puke of Montebello-”- a title
which has descended to his family to this day.
It was the same hero who had beiore saved the
fight on the terrible bridge of Lodi, when the
French were mowed down by the Austrian can
non like grass, and Napoleon’s generals said it
was impossible to advance. “ Impossible is not
French,” said Bonaparte, as he seized a stand
ard and rushed forward shouting, “ Follow your
General.’’ Lannes, however, was the first to
cross the bridge. He dashed passed his leader,
plunging his horse into the very midst of the
Austrian ranks, and grasped one of their ban
ners. At that moment his steed fell dead be
neath him, and half a dozen swords glittered
above his head. With Herculean strength and
agility, he extricated himself from hD fallen
steed," leaped upon the horse of an Austrian,
behind the rider, plunged his sword into tlie
body of the rider, nnd hurled him from his sad
dle. He fought liis way back to his followers,
liaving slain six of the "Austrians with his own
hand. The bridge and the battle were won.—
For tills deed or terrible energy, Najiolcon pro
moted him on the spot
The battle of Montebello was not without its
influence on the immortal victory of Marengo,
which was fought immediately after fjunc 14,)
and was closely connected with It These
^Jfig^Frenchmen under Napoleon met 40,000
pieces of cannon, which irresistihiy'u,ri.jit Na
poleon's troops before thorn till Desalx, so anx
iously expected with his reserve of 6000 men,
arrived, and charged when tlie battle was deem
ed lust The tide was turned. Tlie Austrians
were overthrown with terrible slaughter.
Twenty thousand men of both sides lay dead
on the field. Desaix, tlie greatest general Na
poleon ever had, was among them. Tlie First
Cousol wept, and said the battle was dearly
bought No doubt another Marengo or an equal
ly sanguinary and decisive battle of som« Other
name will soon bo fought when wu shall prob
ably know something of the qualities of. Napo
leon HI as a general.
The New York 'Jimet attributes tlie loss of
so many French officers at Montebello mainly
to the conspicious character of the uniforms.—
We quote.
“The fatality in question may be accounted
for, perhaps, in a less romantic manner, by the
consideration that the French officers are more
signally distinguished on tlie field of battle by
their uniforms than the Austrians. The Aus
trians long ago abandoned the use of the epau
lette, which "h«s always been the “shining
mark’’ that d(s»th, like slander, i» supposed to
to love, and which the French insist upon re
taining. The Austrian officers formerly went
into action wearing white cloaks, which marked
them out conspiciously among tlie gray-coated
masses of tlieir men; but the fearful execution
done u]K>n them by tlie Sardinian riflemen in
in die war of 1848-’49, led the government to
discard this garment also, and no officers are
now so well amalgamated with tlieir men in ap
pearance before tlie enemy as the Austrians.—
The French officers in comparison stand out in
as clear relief upon their companies as did the
scarlet-coated and gold-laced British captains in
Hie days of our own revolutionary war.”

Entekpkise in Business Exemplified.—The
subject of business enterprise naturally’ com
mands a large share of the thoughts of the Amer
ican people. Hence the theory of any new
branch of business is anxiously inquired into,
as well as the fact whether it pays or not.—
Among the establishments introducing now fea
tures into business, in place of the stereotyped
and time-sanctioned forms, tho Gift Book En
terprise stands first. It lias accomplished far
greater success than any of the modern improve
ments. Advertising in the public journals when
attempted on a large scale, was condemned by
eveiy body as injurious to the interests of trade;
but as always is the case with a good idea, it
prospered, until every one now advertises as a
necessity. George G. Evans, the originator of
tlie Gift Book Enterprise System, was born at
Bingham, Maine. His lather is an eminent phys
ician of that State, and his uncle, H011. George
Evans, has represented Maine for many years in
the United States Senate. Mr. Evans'cany years
were spont in Lowell, Mass., where be started
tlie_first Book Enterprise ever projected; since
which time he has opened over one hundred and
fifty branch stores. The main establishment is
No. 439 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Mr.
Evaas has a hast of imitators; some of them
cheat the public by advertising themselves the
originators of tlie Imuiiwix, ami KriuL| Uawn con
demnation, not only on themselves, hut on tlie
man whose trade tiiey are counterfeiting. Be
cause swindlers or ignoramuses, in any trade,
subject us to loss, we arc not therefore to cen
sure men engaged in legitimate trade; liecausc
“ Peter Funk” traders in watches deceive and
cheat the public, honest watchmakers are not
to be denounced and avoided; and so, because
a number of “ Peter Funk” concerns in the Gift
Book business, encouraged by the great success
of Evaas’ Enterprise, sprung up in New York,
and for a time cheated those who were deluded
into dealing with them, there is no reason that
a fair, liberal and energetic publisher should lie
condemned witli them. No injustice could be
greater.
Evans purchases whole editions of books tliat
lto does not publish himself, at the lowest fig
ures; sells them at regular retail prices, and
f ives a premium with each book; in every
10,000 worth of books ho appropriates $5,000
worth of jewelry, watches, Ac., which are given
away with the books, purchasers often receiving
gold watches, costly cameos, silver-plated ware,
silk dress patterns, Ac., Ac.
Mr. Evans originated the Gift Book Business
in 1854, and his great success in it is the result
qf the energy, the integrity, and the liberality
that havo characterized his course from that day
to the present.
In addition to the above just tribute to the
merits of Mr. Evaas, and the unequalled suc
cess of liis popular enterprise, we take great
pleasure in bearing testimony to the high integ
rity which lias ever characterized hi§ multifa
rious business transactions, establishing for him
self and his house a name above suspicion or re
proach, and a fame which must “ lead its poss
essor to fortune and renown.” This is no spas
modic effort on our part, at fulsome culogism;
it is tlie plain recital of self-existent facts, read
and known of all men in our State, to whom
Mr. Evans and his business are extensively
known. We have dealt with Mr. Evans lor
years, personally, and conversed with scores of
others who have sent him their money and or
tiers, and received Books and valuable Gifts in
return; and it is certainly a higher meed of
praise than usually falls to the' ordinary lot of
man to bo able, truthfully, to say, tiiat in no
single instance have we ever heard tlie first word
of dissatisfaction expressed.

Tlie Secretary or tlie Interior 011 the
SLAVE TRADE.
During his recent visit to Raleigh, N. C.,
Mr. Secretary Thompson said:
In my own State a class of restless reformers
have started a movement which demands the
rc-opening of the foreign slave trade. Laws
which were passed fifty years ago, at the urg
ent instance of the Southern States, prohibit
ing the slave trade, have been discovered to be
unconstitutional, and their longer continuance
on the statute book, it is claimed, is destruc
tive of the progress aud prosperity of the
South. Iu the advocacy of this new theory
some able men have enlisted; but I do not be
lieve there is one among them who believes the
ends he aims at can ever be accomplished while
the Union lasts ; and God forbid that n move
ment fraught with such unnumbered curses up
on the South should ever succeed ! Hut sup
pose the demand is made upon Congress to re
open the slave trade, and Congress should re
fuse to yield to the demand, shall the South,
taking fire at the refusal, strike for disunion ?
For one, I shall oppose the reopening of the
foreign slave trade, in the Union or out of it;
and when that movement is made, which I fear
li„ '"r.hllan Mcages, and every depart, not, you may run up the stars and stripes. I
dard works “> 1 jffrLTire; and through Ua will rally under that flag. In North Carolina,
munt ot . " numbers of useful books have been in that day, I do not believe there will be any
n^nev, '^ t of t h c country, to the ; division.

A Ghastly Exi-eiiuient.-Spirits of wine pour
ed on a teaspoonful of oommon salt in a vial,
well shaken, anil then put on either lamp cot
ton or tow and ignited will s hum with a pecu
liar colored flame, giving out purely yellow rays.
This mysterious effect changes the appearance
of all earthly objects. Coral lips bcconio a liv
id hue; rosy cheeks turn ghastly pale; redcap
ribbons become black, in fact everything ap-
l»«ars different to what It docs by tho white
light we are familiar witli; and of all things
the human face undergoes the greatest change.
Very young children should not ho shown this
experiment for though there will be laughing
lips and dazzling eye, yet they are of sucli an
unearthly color, that old friends appear with
new faces and a child would scarcely know liis
mamma.
The Hebndon Monument.—A fine obelisk to
LicuL Herndon, who was lost in tlie Arctic,
which is to bo placed on the grounds of the Na
val Academy at Annapolis, is at Quincy, and
completed. The shaft is 18 feet long, four feet
square at the base, tapers to one foot six inches
at the top, and will rest upon a pedestal four
feet high and six feet square. Upon one side
appears, in prominent raised letters, the name
“ Herndon ;” upon the other, “ September 12th,
1857.” No descriptive line tells tho reader of
fifty or a hundred years hence who Herndon
was, or wliat he did, and, so far as the obelisk
goes, tho merits of the true man who gave liis
life to save others are as effectually hidden as
though his name liad been written upon the
sand.—Boston Post.
“Dickens” on Chess.—Ah me! I am an old
old-fashioned fellow that lias played chess—
Heaven forgive me! these forty years; but if in
all that time I had only written one fine poem,
or painted one really line picture, or delivered
ono really perfect oration, or made one nice lit
tle hit of melody whicli the people will sing
years hence, 1 should consider that I liad achiev
ed a far greater intellectual triumph than if I
had vanquished fifty thousand chess champions
armed in proofandlcd by sallow Morphy.
Major Ben McCulloch, late United States
Marshal of Texas, is a prodigy. He not only
resigned his office, but upon set tl ing h is accounts,
tlie government found due him $18,0G more
than he claimed. During the seven years he
was in office, lie disbursed $ 100,000 for the gov
ernment, and collected under executions and
judgments about half a million more, and yet
he did not steal a dollar nor hold on to a large
sum under tho pretext that he had offsets against
the government.

IVhat is Meerschaum?—.In tho islands of
Xcgropant and Samos, in tho Archipelago, a pe
culiar variety of magnesite, or carbonate ofmag-
i- r „,i „„ ,u- —ocm-aui a LI1U1 strata
of earth. When first obtained, it resembles the
meerschaum by the Germans, while the French
style it ecume de mer. Analysis proves that it
is composed of magnesia, carbonic acid, water,
and about four per cent of silex. The idea so
common in this country, that meerschaum is
the foam of tlie sea, originated in tlie resemblance
referred to, and also to tlie old fashion of calling
meerschaum pipes “sca-foain pipes.” When
first dug front the earth, tile magnesite is soft,
and easily moulded into any shape tliat fancy
may ffictate. In this condition it is formed into
pipes ami cigar-holders, and exposed to the ac
tion of tho air until it hardens. Before being
boiled in wax or oil, it is nearly as light as pith,
ami full of minute pores, through which a pin
or knife may be stuck, with no more damage
tlian would result from the same operation per
formed on a fine sponge. The pipes are boiled
in wax or oil, in order to give them a polish, as
well as to render them more durable; but smo.
king soon bums out the oleaginous secretions,
and the “oil of smoke” sinks into the pores grad
ually until the outer .surface is colored,

In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for its adoption.
The presaes in the seaport cities have been the
main cause of its not being generally adopted; but
now that objection ia removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orloans, gives it
the preference over rope. Tho Passman Iron Hoop
and Tie ia the improvement of one of the proprietors,
and is adopted from the fact, that it is found, after
long experiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of any one yet
made. It is go prepared as to require no change for
re-compressing. Thus obviating the only reuiain-
g difficulty at the seaboard cities.
Tlie hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And further, that all
cotton bound in them ahall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton.—
The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
one pound more or less.
To show the opinion shipmasters hare of it, we
give the following, among numerous commenda
tions we have:
The undersigned masters of vessels, having had
