Mr.. DepGLAs's PosITIoS.-While Northern
Republican journals are eulogizing Mr.. Doug
las for his GOODNESS and manliness in cut
ting loose, virtually, from the Slave Democracy,
his Southern friends and admirers still cling to
him. and insist that he will, in any event, sup
port the nominees of the Charleston Convention,
no matter who they may be, or what platform
they may stand upon. We had been led to
suppose that he was totally abandoned by his
late organ, the States, but it seems that that
journal still regards him With friendly eye,
and will not let him go. The same paper de-
nounees Messrs. Forney and Hickman in un.
measured terms. 1t says
Senator Douglas left this city yesterday for
the North, to be absent about week. Such
are the obligations imposed upon, and acknowl-
edged by him, by the political principles which
have animated him through life, that in defining
his position in his recent letter, nothing more
or less was meant than that, If he could not
conscientiously assume the leadership of the
Democracy, in accordance with certain condi-
tions imposed, which might be proposed, he
would prefer to cooperate dutifully as an hum
bic individual in the ranks. Wesshall see him
in the indomitable array Of bis energy at
Charleston next spring, and in the thiokest of
the fight in Illinois next autumn, whatever may
be our platform, and whoever may be our stand
ard.bearer. He is thoroughly imbued with the
fact that such service as he is capable of per-
forming in the campaign Of next year may be
indispensable 70 the preservation Of the Union.

GARIBALDI. - Garibaldi's influence
over his troops is something wonderful.
His form, Hereulean strength, his fne,
energetic and expressive head-evory-
thing, even his picturesque costume,
contributes to increase the prestige he
wields- At Salta (South America) he
is surrounded-he and 300 men-by
1900 enemies. What does he do? He
stands their fire without stirring; lets
them come up close, then charges them
with the bayonet, and sends them fly
ing. The government Of MOutevideO
deoreed on that day that the Italian le-
gion had deserved we'll Of the country,
and that II should take the right, the
post Of honor, even when with native
troops, ia every engagement.
DEATH OF JELLAcHICu.-The death
Of the Ban Jellachich Of Croatia, the
old enemy Of Kossuth, is announced.
IL was he that excited the CrOats against
the Huugarians, who became the instru-
ments in defeating the Hungarian effort
for Independence. In his latter days
the Ban incurred the dislike Of the En-
perOr Of Austria, aud also lost the con
6dence of his own subjects, WHO came
TO see that in destroying the liberties
Of Hungary they had also destroyed
their own.
A London letter says the financial
straits Of Austria are terrible. Within
three weeks We see an emission Of one
hundred aud twenty millions of paper
money, without any metallic basis; a
forced loan Of seventy-fve millions in
LombardO-Austria, and a general rais-
ing of all the direct and indirect taxes.
And all this before the FIRST battle, at
the very outset Of the war.
THE AMERICAN BONAPARTE.-AmO
the officers who distinguished them
selves, the young Captain Bonaparte is
mentioned This is the grandson Of
Prince Jerome by his marriage with the
American lady, Miss Patterson.
A letter from an American at Turin
published in the New Haven journal
says: "On our passage from Genoa we
passed the French soldiers in full march,
occupying miles Of the road running
parallel TO the railroad. As our ladies
waved their handkerchief to them, the
salutatiOn was returned, the officers and
men appearing in high spirits, and evil
IDENTIFY anxious to meet their old foes.
We observed at the head Of their col
umns the tattered colors Of the great
Napoleon, which waved over his hosts
at Marengo, go years ago"

THE FINGER-POsT FOR LOUIS
NAPOLEON.

Louis NAroLEoN--whot a game
'Tis at thy hand 10 play!
n 20 achieve eternal fame,
And gain an everlasting name,
Blest Tor ali ages, bo thine aim,
Before thee lies the way.
Thou wilt but have 10 keep tho word
OF honor thou hast spoke,
And seek no further with the sword
Which thou hast drawn, than 10 afford
The aid by Italy implored,
And rid her from her yoke
That done, thy sword Il thou wilt aheatho.
And fight not on for spoil,
The world thy victor'a crown will Wreathe
or flowers that ever sweet viii breathe;
A noble name thou wilt boqueath,
Redeemed from every soil.
But n thou take that meaner line
Tradition would suggest
To low ambltIOn--nOt divine
or common conquest with design;
Then, surely, will an end be thine
Contemplate at best.
More land, more slaves, thy highest prize
To win--against such Oddsi
a race whose every man will rlse,
A nd fight against thee til he dies,
Or hln last iarthing sacrifice,
To guard his household gods.
Thon, uhouldst thou loSe--snough to know
The world will not ngain
An age Of anguish undergo
For nothing--to the vanquished woe!
The penalty Of overthrow
'Twere odlous 70 explain!
No more Of that Too wise thou art
To miss 80 bright a chance;
And thou Wilt to the high goal start;
LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAFARTE,
And glory, from each honest heart,
win for myself and France!

what is q 7onnveP

The Zouaves are all French; they arc
selected from among the old campaign
ers for their fine physique and tried
courage, and have certainly proved that
they are, what their appearance would
indicate, the most reckless, self-reliant,
and complete infantry that Europe eau
produce,
With his graceful dress, soldierly
bearing, and vigilant attitude, the Zou-
ave at an outpost is the beau ideal Of a
soldier.
They neglect no opportunity Of ad-
ding TO their personal comforts; if there
is stream in the vicinity the party
marching on picket is sure to be amply
supplied with fshiug-rods, &C.; if any
thing is to be had, the Zouaves are quite
certain to obtain it.
Their movements are the most light
and graceful have ever seen; the stride
is long, but the foot seems scarcely to
touch the ground, and the march is aps
paTently made without effort or fatigue.
The step Of the foot rifles is shorter
and quicker, and not so easy and grace
full.
The impression produced by the ap-
pearance Of these two corps is very diff,
ferent; the rifles look like active, ener-
getio little fellows, who would lind their
best field as skirmishers; but the Zou-
ayes have, combined with all the activity
and energy of the others, that solid en-
semblo and reckless, daredevil iudi-
viduality which would render them alike
formidable when attacking ia mass or in
defending a position in the most despo-
rate hand-tO-hand encounter. OF all
the troops that have ever seen, should
esteem it the greatest honor to assist in
defeating the ZOuaves. The gronadiers
Of the guard are all large men, and a
hno-looking, soldierly set.

ATROCITIES or THE AUsTRIANs. Both
officers and soldiers behaved cruelty to-
ward the people Of the towns and villa
ges they have invaded. At Tortona,
after having ordered O,000 rations, they
began to plumber the shops and houses.
The shop Of a millincr, Teresa Scott,
and chat Of a Signor Gallarati, we're the
frBt, and others followed. A band Of
drunken Croats went to the farm house
Of a SignOr Stedano, and commenced
plundering everything, insulting in a
shameful manner women and children.
At Castlenuova, Scrivia Viguzzolo, and
Pontecurone, they committed the same
oxcesses, without being checked by the
general officers who were there. The
bastindo was administered by order Of
General Gyulai, to the mayor Of a small
village near Novara. The only reason
of this barbarous act was that the mayor
could not get in proper time the requi-
sitions which had been ordered. I can
not pollute the columns Of a paper by
relating the acts Of shameless cruelty
perpotrated by these Sclavonic and Ger
man barbarians.
A few days since, poor woman, aged
60, was whipped at Milan, by order Of
tho police, and for what crime2 An
enormous one: she is mother of an ar
tist who has taken service under Carl
baldil It is by the female part of the
community that the antipathy to the
Austrian race has been chiefly main
taincd. Interrogate them all, from the
noble lady to the most humble work
man; they will toll you one after the
other, without exception, Of how they
haveinstilled into their children the love
Of liberty and hatred Of the foreign yoke
The ZoUAvEs PREFER THE BAYo.
METH the various encounters of rife
practice across the PO, the range of the
French bullet is now found in all its
superiority, the foes lead dropping
short into the river. The Zouaves an.
nounce their indifference to this advan.
tage, and prefer an affair a la tourchette
with the fork, this being the new term
for bayonet in their ranks.
