Victor Emmanuel-Italy.

An occasion was lately presented to Vic
tor Emmanuel of publicly expressing him
self, both in reference 10 his own policy and
the manner in which the people OF Italy
have demeancd themselves under the extra
ordinary and unexpected circumstances in
which the peace Of Villafranca left them
In reply to deputation who presented him
with medal, in honor of his early sympa-
thy with Italy's cry for Liberation from the
oppressor's yoke, he spoke thus:
1T seems incredible that some countries
that are uniavorable TO us do not or will not
believe that there is nothing obscure or IN
sdious in my policy. Frankness and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES are its companions
Perhaps it is the going straight to the object
in view that creates dspleasure. The TIA
liam question is very clear, and it is no
doubt on that account that they will not un-
derstand it, The union, perfect order, and
wisdom which the people Of Tuscany, the
Duchies, and the Romagna now display, are
admirable certainly did not think that
Italy was incapable Of acting 80; still the
spectacle of such an attitude affords me
great pleasure. Have, therefore, faith in
me, gentlemen and be assured that now, as
well as in future, | shall do every thing in
my power to promote the welfare of Italy"

The Martinsburg Bankers.

1t seems that ON the 9th inst, the town OF
Martinsburg. Va, became excited by COLI
sion in the Bank Of Berkeley, in which Mes
srs Caspar Viewer and Daniel Buckhart,
who was until that morning Cashier of the
Bank, were the principals. The fuss re-
suited in nothing more serious to the parties
than the tearing of Mr. Viewers vest. The
Bank of Rerkelcy is one of the State stock
banks Of recent origin, and has been in ex,
istence some four years. Nlr. Viewer, is a
large stakeholder in it, and was until re-
Gently one of the Directors.
Mr.. Viewer was large drawer OF gold
upon the bank, and on the day in question
had made his demand received his money,
and rs he was retiring, he was seized by
Mr.. Buckhart. who informed him that he
should not carry the gold from the Bank
and that if he did so the people would lynch
him. Mr.. Viewer proclaimed his right, and
swearing lie would defend it, drew revol-
yer. Mr.. Jas. 5. Brown, son, son-in-law OF
Mr.. Buckhart, took the weapon from HIM
before he could use it. A few gentlemen
from without rushed in, and separating the
parties, conducted Mr.. Viewer out of the
Bank, at once, assuring him that they
would protect him, and that if violence was
to be employed he had more friends than the
Bank.-Rick. EHq.

whom it had "hld away in Il quiet seques-
tered spot" as the democratic candidate Tor

Avalanche, he is just now the greatest man

as an orator he is equally great. The Y mon

SELLING CoLoRED PRISON Is ILLINOIS,
Recently, free colored man, name George
Bowlin, was put up on the block at Carol
ton, Greene County, Illinois. and sold to the
highest bidder His offence was violation
Of the law which prohibits the immigration
Of colored persons into the State. Having
been tried and found guilty, he was fined
Sos, and not being able to pay the money,
he was sold to Mr. Felix Morton for sixteen
months. 1t does not appear TINT this trans
action created any convulsive excitement
among the philanshropists Of that State.
