EXTENSIVE Sw1NDLE. N. Orleans

EXTENSIVE SwINDLE.-The N. Orleans
Crescent says:
An extensive and rather remarkable case
OF commercial swindling has taken place in
this city, and has been topic Of talk in
mercantile circles for the last several
weeks. We heard of the swindle soon after
its development, but suppressed the publ
cation of it in respect to the feelings Of the
gentleman who was ruined by his connec-
ton with the villain, and who dreaded the
publication ." it.
The swindler, or one Of them, is j. L.
Woolsey, late of the firm of Woolsey &
Etheridge, at No. 80 Camp street. The
two came to this city about two years ago,
and began the commission business with a
capital of $1,000 each They did we'll;
their business increased and the house of
Woolsey 6 Etheridge promised to become
one Of the first in the city. AS has been
shown, by letters found, Woolsey was in
completely with another villain, named
James r. Duryee, who conducted COM
mission house in Mobile, under the bogus
title of E. H. Fairchild & Co. The two
managed sharply kept up correspondence
gradually extended the area Of their credit,
and finally sprung the mine. Both disap-
peared; and at meeting ofcreditors in this
city and in Mobile, it was found out that
the rascals had played their game to the
tune of 100000.
Describing Gsribaldi's fight at Varese,
the correspondent Of the Manchester Guar
dian writes: After first discharge of their
muskets. the Italian volunteers assaulted
the enemy with the bayonet, and with so
much impetuosity that the Austrian centre
was obliged to fall back on its left wing, al
ready engaged by q battalion Of our right
wing. Now the fight became general
tremendous hand-to hand fight, in which
every inch of ground was bravely disputed
by both armies. The enemy's artillery was
Of no more use, because Garibald, having
none, had ordered his men to fight hand to
hand with sword and bayonets. At the re
port of the musketry and artillery, the coun-
try people fastened to the scene Of action
with pitchforks, half-pikes, and cleavers.-
ut was dreadful scene of slaughter, !" said
an eyewitness to me, (which lasted three
hours. Notning can give an idea OF the
impetuosity of these Italians who could at
last revenge SO many wrongs, so many cruel
tiss. It was almost madness. Two broth
ers Strambio, one captain and another lieu
tenant, were seen to leap into the inside Of
hedge of bayonets, and cut down Croats
as if they had been puppets. A Count Mon
tanari, from Verona, whose brother had
been hanged, in 1858, by Radetsy's order,
was running up and down the bloody field,
striking right and left with his powerful
sword.

R The New York SIM saws or

re- The New York Sun says 1.-THE
rumor that as soon rs the French had en-
tered Milan terms of peace would be offered
is entitled to little attention. Austria is
not yet prepared to yield all that France and
Sardinia will claim, and even if France were
disposed to make compromise after victory
the Italian mind has become too much excl
ted to be brought under the control of de-
ceptive diplomacy. The war must 60 on,
but what new phase it may assume, is at
present, beyond the power Of human pres
cience to foretell. If Austria is left to her
own resources, she must ultimately abandon
all her Italian possessions, and the allies
may, before the end Of the summer, dictate
terms to her within the walls of Vienna"
Two LADS KILLED BY JUMPING FROM A

Mr.. Van were amusing themselves in front
of their fathers residence, on Plum street,
by jumping from dray. Strange to say.
both received similar injuries at almost the
same time, which resulted in their death
yesterday morning. Either from over
straining or falling, in jumping from the
dray, they ruptured their omentums or
cauls. Robert Albert, aged fourteen years,
and Theodore Lewis, aged sixteen years
What makes this more singular is, that Mr..
Van has lost all his sons by accident-the
two above named being the last of eleven
boys.

In AN AWFUL PHIx We learn from an
undoubted authoity, says the Decatur Mag
net, that short time since, in the neigh
borhood of Marion, there was a dancing
party; most Of the ladies present had lit
tie babies whose noisy perversity required
too much attention to permit the mothers
to enjoy the dance A number of.gallant
young men, among whom w. B. H., j. and
c. F. D., volunteered to watch the young
'uns while the parents INDUCED in dance
No sooner had the women left the babies
in charge of the mischievous fellows, than
they stripped the infants, changed their
clothes, giving to one the apparel of anoth-
er. The dance was over, it was time to 60
home, and the mothers took each baby,
in the dress of her own and started-some
of tlreir homes eight or ten miles OFT, and
were far on their way before daylight
But the day following there was prodig-
ious row in that settlement; mothers dis
covered a single night had changed the
sex of their babies-observation disclosed
startling phenomena, land Ithen::commen,

imaginable. 1t took two or three days to

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JUDGE DOUGLAS

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JUDGE DOUGLASS
4 letter from Judge Douglas to Col. Bret
ton has been published at the East, but
we have yet seen no copy of it. The tele-
graph gives its substance thus:
The letter covers two points naturaliza-
ton and the African Slave Trade, substan-
tally as follows; there can be no difference
in the degrees of protection accorded by
government to native and naturalized.-
Our constitution recognized no difference
in this respect IF a person can expatriate
himself from foreig government and
swear allegiance and still owe anything to
a foreign power, he is in the singular and
incredible predcament of owing allegiance
to two countries without being entitled to
| the protection. To all of our citizens in
the convention. the constitution wasa crea-
ture of compromise and the African slave
trade was the subject South Carolina and
Georgia wished to continue it; Virginia,
| Penn, \. J. and n. Y. wished it termina-
ted; New ngland was passive in the mat
| ter South Carolina and Ga finally carri-
| ed their point of continuance till the year
| 1905. with the understanding that it should
| then end. 1t therefore became the vital
compromise of the instrument and must
be held as sacred as the instrument itself
In this view, Judge Douglas declared him
| self irrevocable opposed to the reopening
! of the African slave trade.
