The Roman Republic and Its CaIumnIstors.

The Nandals in their invasion Of Italy, toward
the fall Of the Roman Empire, destroyed The works
Of art-tbe libraries and public monuments The
Vandals who now invade Italy endeavor to circu-
late the oalumny that IL vss the intention Of the
Romans Of the present day 10 have initiated their
deeds. The fslschood, however is proved by the
fact that all public monuments we'll private
property we're protected by the mere force Of pub
nc opinion without any necessity for senunols.
Thus the Nandals Of yore and those Of the present
day stand alone in their glory.
We translate from the Esuis Laiiano, the new
Italian paper in this city, the following letter from
General Avezzana upon this subject
To my great surprise I find ia the Oo,rier and
Enquirer Of the 10th letter in which il IL asserted
that the Republicans Of Rome intended 20 have
blown up ~. Peters Cathedral, and thst Mr. Cass
the American charge, prevented the act by his in
huence. protest against this fslsehood, and de
clare that in Rome ever harbored the thought
Of destroying public monument. Had such
project ever entered the head Of any ono il would
have been absurd since the building is the largest
in the world, while the scarcity Of powder in Rome
such that the soldiers bad been reduced, during
the last few days, TO the mere cartridges they had
in their pockets without the hope Of being able TO
replenish them must add, that ~ far from Mr..
Cass having any influence in Rome, he was known
bat little, and considered lees, in consequence Of
his illibersl conduct toward the republic. All his
merit consisted in having made some few visits TO
the principal authorities, who did not fail TO dem
onstrate 20 him that he ought 10 have recognised that
form OF government which the people had selected.

CAPTAIN MERcHANT.-We had the pleasure last
evening of conversing with Captain Merchant of
the Sth infantry, who has just returned from Texas.
during engagement with the Camanches A
rifle ball. discharged by of the savages, entered
the neck of Captain NJ, just missed the jugula r
vein, struck and shattered the jaw, and came out
at the left cheek. As may be imagined, this caused
a severe and dangerous wound but happy
TO state that its effects tolerable than
they have hitherto BEEN and that the Captain is
covering his health. He has, We believe, returned
on the recruiting service, and will probably be eta
toned at Boston. Captain Merchant, sin
cerely say is one of the most gallant officers in
army. BY his bravery and skill, evinced during
the with Mexico he won and received two
brevets-one for his conduct at Moline del Rey and
the other for his behaviour at the Garita de San
Cosme--in each of which actions he bore dis
tinguished part
We are informed by Captain NJ, that the Indians
are becoming more and more troublesome in the
western part of Texas, and that they have extend
ed their depredations into the more settled portions
they had appeared within thirty miles of San An
tonic, bidding defiance to the inhabitants, and
even TO the garrison destined 10 defend them. Gen
Brooke has taken energetic measures 10 remedy
the tremendous evil which afiiicts the people
of our sister State. He is determined TO wage
war OF determination on the savages, or bring them
10 terms. We hope most sincerely that he will
succeed in his efforts, and certain that his
abilities and experience competent to the task.

gentleman named Vail, from Florida, while
on his way from Chagres to Panama, was robbed
OF three or four hundred dollars, and seriously
wounded by some of his own countrymen. At
the latest advices (July 81 he was in lair way TO
recover.
We noticed on Monday the arrival Of the steamer
West Point, at the lsthmus. The following par
ticuars OF the latter part of her voyage are from
the Panama Star.
In the Straits her coal became exhausted, and
two months were spent in cutting wood and get
ting il on board. Sailing from the Straits, after
being out several days, she encountered trcmen-
dou. gale, which compelled the captain TO put into
Santa Barbara, where much time again con-
sumed in procuring a sufficiency of fuel TO resume
the voyage with safety. Finally she put into Co
quimbo, whence she made the run TO this place in
nineteen days.
The anniversary of American independence was
celebrated in good style at Panama. The Cover
nor permitted the guns Of the battery TO be used
for the occasion, aud rendered the perfect freedom
Of the city 10 the Americans for the day The Pa
mama Star says:
AT ten o'clock, the Governor, escorted by
committee, followed by General Espans, com
msnder Of the Grcnadian troops, entered the
plaza, where the procession was formed by chief
marshal Colonel G.. w Fisher, and Mossrs. Whit
sker, Waterman, Jones, Oaksmith, Charrlngton,
and Marcel, assistant marsbals, and marched
through the principal streets TO the suburbs outside
of the walls and, after making the circuit of that
part Of the city, returned 20 the circus tent where,
after the large number Of persons were seated,
prayer was offered up 20 the Throne OF Grace by
the Rev. MIR. Brer.
"A patriotic song was sung by company of gen
tlemen who volunteered for the occasion after
which the Declaration of Independence read
by Mr.. Tracy-another song was sung, and the
orator OF the day, Mr.. Mclaughlin, commenced
the delivery OF his grafton. When this fin
ished, the procession was re- formed and marched
70 the battery, where another national salute was
fired and then the Governor and General Espana
were escorted 70 their homes, and the procession
dismissed

FIRE- ENGtNEs.-SOme short time ago suggest
ed thrO.gh the Republic plan 10 suppress riots
which is Of common occurrence in the larger cities
whenever the fre-ongines are called out 10 sup.
pres hires; not knowing at the time, but ex-
pressing my conviction IL could be donc-that il
10 work the engines by steam power From the Re.
public Of this date, Path inst extract the following
statement by the experimenting engineer TO the
Collins and Bremen lines United States mail steam
ships in respect to the means Of safety against
FIRE, adopted in their vessels: tThe Atlantic Pa
cihc, Arctic, Baltic, and Hermann, have each two
independent fire pumps, each capable Of throwing
ss much water, and 20 as great a distance az the
best hre-engin, in New York, besides having the
advantage Of being worked by steam, which never
tires, and requires only one person TO manage the
machine, and one 10 direct the stream Of water -
This fact establishes the truth Of my theory, and
Why not at once put II into practice wherever FIRE
engines are required % extinguish fires: thereafter
there would be no more riots amongst the hremen.
