he will no longer be near to support M'CLELLAN
in his attack on Richmond.
At their Capital the Confederates seem to be pre-
paring to fight with desperation. They have ap-
propriated forty thousand pounds towards re-
moving women, children, and decrepid persons to
a place of safety. General JOHNSTONE, he who
by his able movements, turned the day against
the Federals at Bull's Run, is in chief command.
The Confederates report themselves as fully pre-
pared for a battle at Corinth, and as having
gained a gunboat victory at Fort Pillow ; there
is certain information of the surrender of Natchez
on the Mississippi, and the capture of Vicks-
burg. These are the two principal places ascend-
ing from New Orleans, and Baton Rouge, to
Memphis. But, again, to counterbalance this, the
Secessionists claim a Confederate rising in Western
Tennessee. Altogether the balance of news is,
this time, decidedly against the Federals,
their only successful movement in Virginia being
the capture by them of Hanover Court-house. In
the West things look little, if at all, better for
them—while in Virginia the success of EWELL and
JACKSON, against BANKS, will be very encouraging
to the Confederates, and is not balanced by what
we yet k,noto of the movements of 111‘DowELL. It

looks well for the Confederates, that while
M'CLELLAN so closely threatens their capital,
they can spare 15,000 men to drive back BANKS
across the Potomac. It seems to show they have
ample force besides at Richmond.
Politically, there is not much doing. We pre-
sume that the steam-press manufacture of money

goes on as fast as ever, for we read that money is

abundant, and gold at hardly four per cent. pre-
mium. Congress will not pass a bill to confiscate
the slaves of rebels, but is willing to confiscate the
property of men who shall take office hereafter
under the Confederate Government. The levy of
fresh troops proceeds with vigour in the North;
Mr. LINCOLN asked for fifty thousand, it is said
that ten times that number have offered themselves.
The want cf trade doubtless explains in great part
the readiness of numbers to volunteer. The whole
aspect of things looks, however, towards an in-
definite prolongation of the war. The South is
incapable of submission ; though, of course, it may
in time be conquered. But the armies of each
appear unwilling still to risk anything like a deci-
sive engagement. The South is encircled by sea
and on the rivers, but within the vast circle the fire
of rebellion burns as fiercely and indomitably as
ever. Whatever interests, like the cotton interest,
are affected by this war, will certainly do wisely
not to calculate on its early termination.

The parliamentary intelligence from Turin is as
unsatisfactory in many respects as the sympathisers
with the cause of Italian unity could have antici-

pated. Signor RATAZZI, having adroitly won his
way to power, is now quite manifestly bent upon
giving the go by to a far greater man than he—

General GARIBALDI. It was under the protect

ing shadow of the name and fame of GARIBALDI
that the now Premier of VICTOR EMMANUEL'S Go-
vernment contrived to supplant his far abler and
more honest rival—RicAsom. Who was it that

scornfully defined gratitude—[was it not ROCHEFOU-
CA ULT ?]—as " a lively sense of favours to come P"
That is precisely the definition of the gratitude of
RA TAZZI to GARIBALDI. The former has cleverly
used the immense and unrivalled popularity of the
latter to his own selfish ends. Without the aid of

that popularity—without the aid of GARIBALDI'S
approbation it would have been all but impossible
for RATAZZI to have slipped into power as readily
as he did but a very few months back—even though
(for State purposes in Paris! and for the sake of
certain court intrigues at Turin !) he, RATAZZI, had
the direct support and countenance (as iticAsoi,i's
supplanter) of both the Emperor NAPOLEON and
King VICTOR EMMANUEL, Sustained and heartened
on by his Imperial and by his Royal Master
in the development of his adroit scheme to
undermine the ministerial authority of RICASOLI—
untiI GARIBALDI, in the hope of furthering the
interests of unification, lent his countenance to
the great ministerial adventurer, the latter was
1 without any political following whatever.
RATAZZI was a chief without a party, a leader
without a " tail," an aspirant to supreme power as
an administrator without the advantage of any de-
voted personal entourage. Admirably, however—
so far as success goes—has he contrived to play hi■
cards. They were shuffled by NAPOLEON 111., and
cut by VICTOR EMMANUEL, and the trump turned up

at the commencement was no other than GAR I.

BALDI. Having won the odd trick and pocketed
the stakes, the wily player seems at length to be

resolved upon having a fresh deal altogether. GARI•

BALDI has been in regard to RATAZZI far more
than a mere stepping-stone to power. The treat-

ment now being experienced by GARIBALDI at the
hands of RATAZZl—presente to our view more, in
truth, the conduct of one who, having mounted to
the summit of authority up the " rounds" of that
lofty fame and ambition, is now ungratefully re-

solved upon hurling down (if he can but manage
to do so !) the very ladder by which he has ascended
to the apex of the Government.

The situation just now in this very serious junc
ture at Turin, is (we cannot but feel peruaded) in
the highest degree alarming, The hitherto suc-
cessful intrigues of RATAZZI, countenanced by the
KING, encouraged by the EMPEROR, threaten now
very imminently to create a fatal division be-
tween GARIBALDI and the Government. Upon
the intriguing Italian Premier immediately, but
mediately of course upon the far more pro-
foundly-intriguing Emperor of the FRENCH,
(the sardonic puller of the strings of so
many political puppets great and =all) will roat the
responsibility of any such fatal estrangement. That
the Re Galantuorno could in any way lend himself
to the furtherance of such covert and sinister
schemes against General GARIBALDI seems really
almost beyond belief. If it should eventually turn
out to be a fact in no way to be disputed, it will, as
a matter of course, be only another verification of
the holy words-6, Put not thy trust in Princes ;"
