his pledges in regard to Italian indepen.
dence, and the consequent Indignation Of
those who had trusted their cause in his
hands, to so great an extent, renders il
not improbable that renewed attempts will
be made at his assassination. How much
truth there is ia the current reports of
his having been member of the secret
order of the Carbonari, that they had
doomed him to die az traitor to bis for.
mer VOWS, and that his recent undertakings
were the price of bis respite, we do not
profess to know. That his life is now
more than ever in danger from that source
would seem reasonable, The Philadel.
phia Argus makes the following statement
in regard to this subject:
Not long ago we met an italian Of
much intelligence whom we knew to be
member of the order. In the course ofa
conversation on the war then raging in
Italy, we asked him the opinion enter
tanned by the Carbonari as to the sincerity
of Louis Napoleon. He replied that the
motives of the French Emperor were
doubted, and that he was surrounded by
the members of the order, who were sworn
to take his life if he should show any dis.
position to betray the Italian cause. The
Emperor Of the French" said he, "will
undoubtedly be killed if he fails, either
designedly or otherwise, in accomplishing
the liberation of Italy from Austria.
Every member of the Carbonari in Amer.
lea has been apprised of this, and of the
means to be used in its Accomplishment.
Some of the greatest and noblest men
now lighting in Italy are sworn to destroy
him the moment he hesitates or fails.
There is not fertilization in Italy that
can hide from the order, nor can be trav.
ell over foot of soil where he will not
meet with its members"
No DIvoRcR-In South Carolina, there
Is nc divorce after marriage; wed for
lite must be the fact in law when an in.
stance OF divorce has never been known
there. 1t has been authoritatvely set.
tied that no judicial tribunal in the State
has authority to declare decree of al.
vorce for any cause whatsoever. If the
power exists at all, il is in the Legislature,
which has hit erto never thought proper
to exercise the power. Further it has
been determined by the courts of South
Carolina, that marriage solemnized in
that State is indissoluble by the sentence
OF any court in q sister State, so as to
affect the rights or conditions of the par.
ties IN South Carolina. 1t will be sesu
then, that it is much easier to tie the knot
than to undo it. !" it'll rare exceptions,
the ceremony of marriage, is in fact per
formed by clergyman; but the indisso.
lubility OF the marriage contract is not
only part Of the law, but it is the fixed
and babitual sentiment of the community
on the subject of divorce.
