From I, biography OF this hold aud guerilla
leader now before us, we Learn that Gar!baidi
;sa native of Piedmont, became in carly life
sailor. and, having joined the secret society
Of Italian patriots was condemned 10 dea'n,
aud escaped from Genoa TO Mar'ei'ies Va

gagged in the wars Of that country LOT 'o"'

.,,o,;on. he fell in love with and married
Lad, who has proved A. noble, brave and
iA..i a. himself. and who hae accompanied
HIN, in al, his battles by sea and land. IN
.ssr many aa verse circumstances, he formed
an Italian legion of the Italians who were
In, eYile in those countries, trained thsm
thoroughly to arms, tina. they might be
prepared to fight for their own country, ana
aurinp the last revolution in Italy had
MANY Of his old soldiers in his files. The
nroxess and devotion of Garibaldi in that
r.volution, and especially in the defence OF
Rome against the French, was Beyond all
praise. His present allies never met, In all
their wars, foeman worthier OF their steel
A. last overcome by odds that no human
daring and energy could resist, he made y
magnificent rush through the encircling
French. and escaped, leaving behind him q
name AZ resplendent for personal chivalry,
and untarnished in personal honor as ever
adorned the annals Of ancient Rome In lts
palmiest days.
On Garibaldis arrival in New York, in
ls49, be did not permit himself to be lioni-
iysd and befooled. He did not roam over
the country, shaking bis name and roaring
about "the solidarity of the peoples" He
recommended his e1iled countrymen to go to
work, and do anything for an honest sup
port, "not hesitssing at accepting the most
humble-even sweeping the streets He
set the example himself by engaging in
daily labor in the candle mandatory OF 4
friend and fellow countryman on Staten
Island He afterwards commanded CON-
msrcial vessels bstH cen Peru and China, and
then returned to Piedmont. He is now in
command of a division of Italisn volunteers
in the Sandman army, and his late dashing
incurslon into Lombardy, unsupl orted by
cavalry or artillery, is ono OF the most bril-
liant events Of the war. His warfare is es-
sentislly guerilla warfare, and his last dash
among the Austrians did not con template q
permanent Judgment. BUTT is not without
its moral effects upon the people, this Carl
baldi thunderbolt, even though it is as brief
as it is brilliant and blasting. Six thousand
Italians, without artillery or cavs'ry, pene-
trating thirty miles into a country choked
up with Austrian legions, twice defeating
the enemy in the field, and storming their en-
trenchments at VArese and Como, will sow
the seed Of revolution broadcast over the
hills and plains Of Lombardy. So long a.
this cloud that gives forth such lightnings
fingers in the horizon Of Austria it will re-
qaire larger force than is now under the
command Of General Gualia to keep down
the combustible materials Of the Lombardo-
Venetian Kingdom.
We shall follow the career of this chival-
ric adveuturer with An interest we do not
feel in either Francis Joseph or Louis Napo-
leon. His lite gives evidence of something
genuine; it has The ring Of the true metal
whether in prosperity or adversely. In an
age of pretence and humbug, here is real
patriot, brave soldier, an honest man.
