was among the latter. They said thatmy
youth saved me from death. Meanwhile
we were conducted to the Island'o of San
Michael. Ladies and gentlemen follow
ed US in gondolas, waving white handker-
chiefs and calling to US, Courage, cou-
rage, brave PATRIOTS AT night a grand
serenade was given US, from the Lagune,
and pieces of poetry recited, which, from
the great distance we could not under
stand. A few months afterwards, at Mi
Ian and Venice, were published similar
sentences, and all under the title of high
treason, and all condemned to Spielberg.'
Silvio Pellico was among his fellow
prisoners, many of whom died. On the
42th of January, 1922, the officers set
out with their prisoners for Spielberg.-
The Journey lasted about a month";
terrible journey over the Alps of Corin-
;hia and Syria, amid SHOWS and intense
winter cold-the prisoners chained toge-
ther, two by two. Spielberg is a noun
tain which rises above the city of Brunn,
the capital of Moravia. The vaults of a
fortress, erected by the Emperor Charles
", were changed into penitentiary, and
here with aesassins and highway robbers,
incendiaries and villains of all kinds,
numbering generally from 800 to 900
men and women, the Italians were left to
drag out their miserable DAYS.
To each Of US was assigned a prison,
twelve feet in length and eight in breadth
with small window with double rows of
iron bars. For bed a plain wooden
plank, straw mattrass and blanket, long
iron chair fastened in the wall, an earth
en- Jug for water; this was all the furni-
ture. We were allowed no knife and
fork but only wooden spoon. Morning
and evening broth of burnt flour and ba-
con put IN warm water: at noon dump
ling and little piece of meat, which pro-
duced vomiting and a small portion Of
bread. The food was given in dirty
dusty iron vessel.
The Emperor died in 1885, and his sor
Ferdinand ascended the throne, immedi.

Ian parrots, but condemning them to a
perpetual exile in America On the frs
of August, 1886, Foresti, with the other
prisoners, was transported by night tc
Trieste, whence, on the Sd, they sailed
for America in the very same brig-the
UseLIo-from which Koszta in Smyrna
was dragged. Immediately upon theil
arrival here they were received with
much consideration by prominent citizens
and week later their fellow countrymer
gave them a banquet at Delmonico's.

pondent of the Philadelphia Press, writes
to that paper:
There is no doubt that a movement
will be made in the next Congress to in,
vestigate the prohigate employment of the
public funds in the late elect .ons and es.
pecially the manner in which they have
been used against the democracy of Hi
nois. A gentleman now here informs u;
that the extent to which this matter ha:
been carried will, when it is exposed t.
the people, create such a sensation as ha:
never been known in the United States
Gov. Brown of the Post Office Depart
ment, Mr.. Cobb and Mr.. Toucey, have
gone TO extremes in furnishing men who
have not agreed with them in opinion.
Jefferson Davis, in his late speech a
Portland, announced doctrine that viii
greatly exercise the quad nulcs in Mis-
sissippi-being neither more nor less thar
the assertion that Territorial LegiSla
ture can exclude slavery by refusing II
protect it. This is no new idea of the dis
tinguished Davis, though it will great,
surprise some of those who haye been re
lying upon him to help them on in espe
cial devotion to Southern rights. Moth
ing so clears the vision as for Northern
er to visit the South or a Southerner L
visit the North. -
Do not be surprised if, after Congress
meets in December, Southern Democra
shall rise in the Senate or House, and of
fer bill repeating the English bill, s
as to allow Kansas immediate admission
or as soon as she has a Constitution rati
fed by the people. Stranger things tha
this have happened. When Congress ad
iourned last summer Douglas was ostra
cised by almost the entire South. No,
