GARIBALDI AT NAPLES.

The following enthusiastic account of Garibaldi
appears in a Naples letter in the Preece, dated
Sept. 10

Gari huldi has decidedly dethroned Bt. Januarius. Gari-
baldi is now the patron saint of Naples. He reigns and
governs—he is everywhere, he is everything. He wen for-
ward with a sublime audacity which ensures his mimes,
and preserves him from danger. I doubt whether the
world a yet sufficiently alive to the marvels of his adven-
tures. Astonishment has its limits. When our dazzled
eyes contemplate his rapid course of glory we at last cease
to wonder, mid accept the incredible facts achieved by him
almost without reflection. But the other day this man was
only a general in the service of a secondary state—he was
supposed to be a " mere soldier who might be trusted with the
command of a battalion or perhaps of a brigade. "I have even
said too much of him ; he Ma. not a general, for be rosigued
his commission. This man had no fortune. no rerogninoil
power, no mission legitimated by any authority whatsoever.
He had nut even one of those hereditary great names
which serve to cloak personal ambition with the mantle of
divine right. He was, in a word, but the representative of
an idea, of an abstraction, or, as many would have mid but
yesterday, of an Utopia—not of • politinsi idea which
attracts men by material interests and promises of advaum
uieut—but of a national Weft which asked for sublime and
heroic self-sacrifice, an idea which far from triumphing in
three duly. like • town insurrection, could ouly hope to
award the prize of victory after years of privation, peril,
and combat. _

He hail tezninst him all Europe, the law of nation*, trea-
ties, the "balance of power," and to these traditions. to
these established rules, he could oppose only the ',maim' of
a popular name illustrated by a few brilliant skir-
mishes, but uot, as yet, associated with any great
vie-torten such u thou which transformed General
Bonaparte into the Emperor Napoleon. He was alone,
poor, and had not the law on his side ; but he has stirred
the bout of flume nations, niiecel soldiers as if by enchant-
ment, found millions of money at his command, and he now
raises the world by a word. And Le has done all this with-
out art, without mystery, without conspirsey—he has done
It while all mankind raw him from the first with his eyes
Bred steadily upim,enci his Seger pointing to, the end he had
in view. He set out on his adveuturotof expedition with •
handful of men, and with this handful of nice he declared
war upon a iSOVerI4II who had a hundred ships of war and
80,000 *oldie's. tits designs were known ; he was watched
and waylu”d in all directions, but he threaded Lis way
through formidable witudrons ; lauded unexpectedly
on some of the best defended points on the
enemy's coast, within sight of two minrof-war,
who with a 8.-ore of shots might have annihilated
his expedition, and, at the hull of 1,092 Italians
and nine lienprians, he at the end of it fortnight defeated
a r f.ir aunty of 30,000 men, and conquered Sicily.
Alter a issue of three mouths, dunng which time his
influence, ulnady !pester than that of all the powers of
Europe, forced a stiff-neeked king to 'mike concessions to hie
people, and emboldened that people to spurn a boon too
tardily granted. he passed the strait* which separate Sicily
from the mainland, and in seventeen days, marching seven-
teen days airtight before him, and looking neither to the
right nor to the left, he conqueror! • kingdom, swept sway
the work of a ceatury, sad astonished the world—in these

times of " moderation" and diplomacy—by an adventure
far more wonderful than the ancient conquests of the Nor.
mans. He was a Corsair repudiated by his king,
he has given to that kin, by a stroke
his pen, a hundred ships and ten millions of men. And he
has done all this openly in the face of Europe, which was
at first disconcerted, but now has no thought of resistance,
and dazzled and carried away in spite of herself rec. gei.a.
the heroic crime by a sort of sympathetic abstention,
which makes her, morally, an accomplice in the deed.
Alone this man has done this—and he will not stop
I have heard Garibaldi speak, I have seen him mar ; he
is admirable. His nature is that of the lion. His Voice is
resolute, his hand large, and his body short and thick.
When angry he must be terrible. But habitually he has
a placid eye and a sweet smile. He ix not so much a man
of genius as an apostle. He walks onward in faith without
fear or hesitation, and he works miracles. He is a man to
quit his boat in a storm and walk upon the waters.
He believes in his mission as others believe in their star.

The other day during a disturbance in the Carmine, when
some soldiers Ikeda few musket shot., and even some Cannon
shots upon the people, be never stirred. He offered cigar,
to the National Guard about him, saying, "Smoke while
' you wait for them." But he has a keen scent of danger,
and when be sees it anywhere he is wont to say, Ci radii io
(1 will go myself); and then nothing can stop him. One
of the most striking traits of his character is his singular
simplicity. He is the only great man 1 know who never
acts a part. His speeches (like those of all men of strung
convictions) are somewhat grandiloquent ; but in pnvate
his manner is the most familiar and cordial that can be con.
ceived. He listens to all comers with the patience of a
martyr, not keeping them at a distance or speaking to
them like an oracle. He is simple and good. To meution
one trait out of a thousand. At Messina one of his old rem.
panions in 1111111 knelt down before him on both knees, say.
ing he had an immense favour to ask. The man was long
before he could be brought to explain himself, but at leng
he stammered out that he wanted one of Garibaldi's tt.
toes to wear uan amulet round his neck, and then he was
sure he should not die. The dictator at once tore off •
button and gave it the suppliant. • • • •
It is not wonderful that 11 superstitious people should be.
lieve Garibaldi to be invulnerable, and that bullets fall
harmless out of his red shirt. Remember that on the day
when he entered Naples alone there were stall soldier,
enough of the King's in the fort to have laid the city in
ashes. Under the very windows of the Forestiera, while he
was liammming the people, the royal guards were under
arms behind the railed doors of the palace. The marines
in the arsenal assumed a hostile attitude. The guns of the
Omeleo might easily have tired their grape upon the Die.
tam's carnage, as they did fire upon the people the tin%
day. And yet Garibaldi pissed up sod down twenty times
in an open carriage. He stayed all the evening at the San
Carlo.. Theatre, which was illuminated in his honour. The
railway train which brought him from Salerno to Naples
was full of people of whom be knew nothing. On Sunday
he went to Saint Elmo attended by only a few officers. And
yet, slier having exposed himself in every possible way,
110 " Sanfediat " bullet ever hissed about his ears.

INTERVIEW OF MR. EDWIN JAMES
WITH GARIBALDL

SCENE AT NAPLES
The following is an extract of a letter from Mr.
Edwin James to a friend : _ _ _

" Naples, Saturday, Sept. S.

_ .
" The long roll of the spirit-stirring drums,' the discord.
ant noises of the Calabrese soldiers as they were endeavour.
ing to form their ranks, the dashing in of carrikies from
.Naples with their cargoes of deputations to attend C4.:Tio
baldi, roused me before 4 o'clock from my bed in a wretched
• albergo ' in Salerno, where I had been the prey of mos.
quitoes since midnight. Garibaldi was astir as early as four
o'clock ; he had seen members of the committee from Napless
and was arranging his entree into the city. At my in.
terview with him yesterday at Eboli, which was a
hurried one, be had requested me to see him in the evening;
be was so surrounded by crowds of admirers, all anxious for
a glimpse of the ' greet man,' that I delayed my interview
until this morning. On entering the large rooms of the
Hotel de Ville, or 'lntendenza,' the throngs of people and
their agitation and excitement were most striking.

'The National Guanl of Salerno lined the avenues
priests of every denomination crowded to touch the 'hem
of his garment.' Officers of State of the King were in
minion conversation with hint, urging his coming without
delay into Naples. Observing me enter, he came up to me
cud said—'Mr. Edwin James, let us speak together,' and
we retired into • private part of the saloon. I divulge no
confidence when I write to you Cud I had been requested
by smite penmen of consideratiou to make • suggestion to
him with respect to a subject ui some importance con-
nected with his assumptiou of power in Naples. • Sir„'
said he, and a peculiar lighting up of his couuteuance at
once struck me, • diplomatists doubt me. I shall be loyal
to Victor EmmanueL I love him as my life. I have
served him without an oath. I shall immediately do all in
my power to procure auuexation to the King of Piedmont.
But these things I must du in my own manner.' I men.
tioned to him that anarchy might prevail at Naples, and
that all the hopes which Englauel entertained or the re.
geurratiun of Italy might be neutralised. • Have no fear,'
be said, 'of that; immediately, if the people will support
me, 1 shell do all in my power to prumute the annexationto
Victor Emmanuel.' 1 told him, as ILO knew, that England
loved liberty and order too, told that upon the overthrow
of tyranny no time should be lest in tee formation of a
constitutional government. ' I go,' raid be, •to Naples in
lialfeirahour,' and we 11011 C eu meet again there.
A special train of about Si carriages was mu westing at 10
o'clock, mid we obtaieed a seat iu the mirage next to that
in which Garibaldi was. Throughout the journey to Naples,
in every village, at every station, the joy and enthusiasm of
the people exceeded the power in deseaiptiou. Women mid
girls presented nags, threw dowers into the carriages,
struggled to kiss the fraud of the general. Mayers and
syudies ejaculated their gratulation; priests and monks
stood, surrounded by their wretched Socks, on the hill side,
and situated their' Viese, laud, bolding toe cracitix in one
hand and the sword in the other, waved them in the air,
and bawled out their beuedictunes As the train passed the
mug's guard at Portia the soldiers threw then caps into
the air, and joined lustily in the • Viva Garibaldi :'

whole population thronged the steitiou. Bands, banners,

female lazzaroni—every Minute iwiug 11l the city almost,
formed the procession to the Palazzo Align, and there he is
installed, and shows himself at the wig/dues. The
shouts of • Viva Garibaldi • Viva Italia Unit 1'
are deafening, and thoraces& crowd the staircases
and specious saloons of this beautiful palace. In
the evening the whole city is illuminated. Promo.
sins block up every street; all men are armed. Thou-
sands of women carry a rie pouratii in their girdles. What
II scene of bloodshed Lac for the moment been averted! Who
had thus armed this euthusiastic stet excitable people? In
Naples you eau seldom probe to the truth. Some tell you
that the King had done so, end intended to turn the mad
nibble here upon the citizen. ; others say that secret coin.
nutters in the interest of Gerilialtli have for weeks been
providing means of reiterate:6 to the troops, and been
most prodigal hi expenditure of money and promises. How.
ever it may be, the hour 'my come when excesses may sully
a hitherto bloodless revolution. The tumult is grad, the
agitation examinee, but I am hie:lilted to think that the
thousands are enjoratig the meet's as a carnival rather thou
exhibiting in their ebullitions any strong political sentiment.
The fact Is that the King has not been uupopular with the

intellect and free thought of his subjects. The priesthood,
the soldiery, and the lowest orders have been On imple.

whether they render tribute to tOO King or to Garibaldi.
But the enthusiasm is at • Mead-heat,' and for days it
will so continue. In the meantime the Provisional Govern.
