The Car OF PRoscRIPrIoN.-A good sound rap
on the knuckles, at u time when a gentle and en-
couraging pat upon the back was expected, is as a
general thing ntolerable. To be deserted by ones
friends in the hour of need land to them joining
the enemy instead of fighting under the banner their
leader has raised, must bring sickening weakness
to the heart, and unnerve the purpose greatly.
The Washington Union, every one will admit,
has abored zealously, and has manufactured woe
and wrongs out of every political removal, while
shedding, at the same time, ar abundance Of tears
over the objects Of its sympathy. Such unusual
and generous devotion Of time, labor and ability,
should, according TO all common usage, procure
universal admiration from the party 1t assumes
to represent but there arr always ungratefu spirits
who cannot be touched, and who, in a mood Of
stubbornness most strange and unnatural, refuse to
consider that " the game is worth the CANDLE OF
such is the Cleveland Piaindealer, which says;
"There are crying times in Washington about
these days. The Union brings the most sckly ac-
counts Of whole departments assembling and join
ing in general boo-hoo at the fate which has over
taken them. The old man Richie is chief crier.
His heart is full las well as his pockets and II
overfows like the foundations Of the Nile. He
knows no democracy but the pap-suckers at WASH
ington; and he thinks, by publishing their tribua-
tons, the whole nation will be melted to tears"
This is downright lngratItude. and quite sufh-
cient to make the Union fret for a month TO come;
but not content with this blow, the editor, after
sharp thrust at the Unions mourning for Cave
Johnson goes on TO administer the following modi-
cum Of very sensible advice TO all persons con-
cerned:
"Now, If the Union supposes the people care one
hg about such kind Of troubles at Washington il is
greatly mistaken. They do not spend their money,
time, and oxertions, simply that a few cormorants
can fatten on the spoils. The great mass Of the
people care nothing about Office. All they want is
good government, and these accounts in the

PArgrR MATHEW has written To DR.. Smith, Of
Boston, TO state that he will visit that city on the
Oath of July. The crowds who call on him do not
decrease The papers, however, represent that the
good father is surrounded by party who look only
for their own selfish ends. One Of the temperance
.oc,aies there had invited him to large assembly,
for admission to which, twenty-five cents were
charged. On this matter the New York Sun says

by his words and works are, n class, unable to

Garibaldi is 50 or 40 years of age, Of medium
stature and with counlenance highly expressive
Of courage and yivacity. His form is athletic, and
his whole bearing instinct with determination and

with a terrace in front Of it,, where, from time to
time, the officers charged with the scrutiny OF the
French operations report. This beluidera has been
more than once traversed by balls fired by the
French chasseurs.
The general did not anticipate my VISIT and
therefore took him by surprise. The bold partisan
sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed and soldier
with sword by his side was engaged in dressing
slight wound Garibadi had received.
He shook my hand affectonately and said
"You will excuse me, sir, (this was uttered with
good grace, and in perfect French,) for receiving
you in this humble retreat" Iapologized for dis
turbing him; but he at once contnued-"Yet |
trust il is not the last time shall see you. Hence
forth look on me as friend who will try to make
YOU comfortable. He then handed US all cigars,
and the conversation became general. II had not,
however, proceeded far before he remembered the
affair Of June 8.

the lapse of moment, he again required to 1t.
General Garibaldi is covered with wounds, which,
however, do not prevent his attending to the most

six stations on our coast between Little Egg Harbor
and Cape May with their suT-boats, life-cars,
lines, Sockets, &c. The Philadelphia Ledger says
"The method to be adopted in saving lives from
wrecks is similar to that which has been success
fully used on the coast Of England, viz to throw
lines on board the wreck either by means Of rock
cts or by attaching them To balls fired from car
ronades. When this Is accomplished, the persons
in danger can be brought on shore by means Of the
Iife-cars which are furnished with rings so that
they can be hauled along the line to and from the
wreck They are made sufficiently large TO con-
tain two or three persons, with openings in the
decks for the purpose Of ventilation. The surf
boats and fe-boats are both TO be constructed Of
galvanized iron, and viii be furnished with floats
Of India rubber, 80 that they cannot be capsIzed,
no matter how heavy the surf may be. The rock
cts used in this service have heretofore been inn
ported from England, but Mr.. Samuel Jackson,
pyrotechnist Of this city, is about to manufacture
