THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1860.

How about those wonderful " OFFICIAL" Tele-
grams from Naples ? Here comes to us to-day--
decidedly ex-official—what tells against them
rather as a bit of an anti-climax ! Palermo has
been taken at the point of the sword by GARI•
BALDI ! Not assaulted, but actually taken and
entered by those "brigands" the Volunteers, who
ought certainly to be regarded by this time as
having each of them about as many lives as a
cat hath—they have been so frequently of late
(according to the " Official " Telegrams from
Naples) routed, pursued, destroyed, utterly exter-
minated ! Somehow or other they have contrived
to emerge, phcenix-like, from the deadly fire of
these terrible Neapolitan fusillades ! Hydra-like,
we suppose, as fast as their heads were
lopped off they sprouted forth new ones.
However their indestructibility may be ac-
counted for, there they are at this moment
unmistakeably—as conquerors—within the walls of
Palermo—their victorious leader GARIBALDI having
his head-quarters (the telegram just received in-
forms us distinctly) " in the the centre of the town."
So that this time there is no mistake at all about it.

The " conquered" are the conquerors. The" defeat"
• has turned out to be a victory. But already we
hear that the daring exploit thus triumphantly
carried to this bold issue, has not been accomplished
without considerable bloodshed. The simple in-
timation that the number of killed is very great,
tells the tale with sufficient distinctness. For the
particulars of the struggle we shall have to wait
awhile, of course, in expectation. But in the mean-
time the resolute deed has been accomplished. Within
an interval of days so few that you might count
them on your fingers GARIBALDI has landed his
little phalanx on the .shores of Sicily, has summoned
the Sicilians to rise in arms and march under his
standard—and so marching, GARIBALDI himself at
their head sword in hand, they have advanced upon
Palermo, and taken possession of it with much
slaughter. What course will now be pursued by
the Government at Turin ? Surely they will not
leave GARIBALDI any longer in the lurch, he who
is fighting (thus, as it were, single-handed) the
battle of Sardinia in the name of VICTOR Em•
