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’. fctl 1Ef , t:tu inky black, ami “Don John'' Sway failbHilly and steadily, but, with the bridle hauging |s:jseek, tad his nose close to »inter bad little fear for conse- Vr itre approaching Oriskany, fige mill,,1 the Mohawk, uu.l liisaercd pitifully once or twice, ivriAom hi j master wurnod him hnkite leather.

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.

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.

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.

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 a division of the Sardinian-French army com 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 of Austria is bom in their blood; in Italy ha tred of Austria is patriotism, and as the van guard of the army of liberation and retribution, tiicy will da whatever men can U<j by the exer cise of dwqieinta valor directed by competent leadership. 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 after a merry evening party. Scarcely ood lady left the room, when a sister 'natures!, cl.lcrly lady, who lived with then—stole into the room, upon tiptoe, in or der not to disturb her brother-in-law ami took the morning gown.

An hour after, the master awoke, and was now anx- io°« to surprise his affectionate wife lie rang the bell; his servant came up and asked Ins {.Insure ; upon which he requested her to wrap }ip the morning gown and carry it to his tailor to make it shorter by ten inches Scsreely was , hn m orning gown returned from the tailor when the good wife stepped in.

L.i.^nairiK AIM MlffV OHHIfr Incidents of tlie War. 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.” [extract.] From tlie Philadelphia (Penn.) Inquirer, a newspaper which has stood in the foremost rank of public journals in the United States for over sixty years. 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. fertilizers GENERAL AGENCY. fex^Tho undersigned respectfully announces to Planters and others interested, that they are con stantly receiving direct from the Islands, nnd from the manufacturers, the following most atprovid Fertilizers sow kuow.v, all of which havo been thoroughly and satisfactorily tested, viz: No. 1 Peruvian Guano, Sombrero Guano, Rhodes’ Super Phosphate of Lime, National Fertilizir, Ground Plaster.

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 .

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. t EKb, see large Montvale Famuli let-especially as to DYSPEPSIA.

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, y.

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 cotton compressed with Passman’s new Iron Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same.
