Herman Thor, of New York, died on

Gov. wise DefIes the Field.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.
= = The Herald of this morning publishes a
letter represented TO be written by Gov.
Wise to a distinguished friend of his in
this State, in which he says:-aI appre-
hended all along that the Tammany Re
gency would carry united delegation from
New York to Charleston for whom Doug-
las, / know, is confident, but you may re-
sly on it that Mr.. Buchanan is himself a
candidate for denomination, and all his
patronage and power will be used to disap-
point Douglas and all other aspirants.
"Our only chance is to organize by dis
tricts, and either whip the enemy or send
two delegations. If this is done or not,
we must still rely on united South. A
United South will depend upon united
Virginia, and pledge you that she at least
shall be unit. Virginia unit, and per-
sistent and firm on a sound platform of
protection to all persons of "popular" GER
sus asquatter sovereignty" she must rally
her support at the South. The South
cannot adopt Mr.. Douglas Platform. 1t
is a short cut to all the ends of Black Re-
publicanism. He then will kick up his
heels; if he does or does not he can't be
nominated, and the main argument against
his nomination is that he can't be elected
if nominated. Z
"If he runs as an Independent candidate
and Seward runs and l am nominated at
Charleston, 1 can beat them both, or if
Squatter Sovereignty is plank of the
Platform at Charleston, and Douglas is
nominated, the South will run an inde7
pendent candidate on protection principles,
and run the election into the House.
"Where then would Douglas bea The
lowest candidate on the list. If have
the popular strength you suppose, it will
itself fix the nomination. Get that, and /
am confident of success" -, -
The letter is said to have. created a tre-
mendous sensation in Albany.

BARpAR1o TRoops FOR rHE. BRrr1sl

BARBAR1o TRooPs FOR THE. BRIrIsH
ARMY.-Tbe N. Y. Herald says that the
adoption of the Zouaves and Turcos into
the French army, and their success against
European troops, have melted the British
government to attempt, the organization Of
similar corps from their colonies of the
West Indies. Some time ago the black
soldiers in Bermuda were uniformed a Ia
Zouave, and we now Learn that orders have
been issued by the War Department Tor
the transportation of three thousand ia
maica negroes to England. Once arrived
they are to be drilled in the use of the la;
test and destructive patterns OF small arms,
and trained to serve the new riAed cannon.
When this first squad has been incorpora-
ted with the army it will doubtless be fol-
lowed by others, until the English will
have q black division which will cope, in
bsrbarity and ferocity at least, with the
Turcos. In, case of war between Eng
land and France, it would be. curious to
see these troops pitted against each 9th

EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY.-It is sta
ted that the rush of emigration from Ger
many has been arrested by the war. The
war caused such an appreciation in the val
ue of ready money, and consequently such
q depreciation in the price of saleable
property, that the Germans could not sell
their farms and houses and stock for ready
money, which they bring with them to in
vest in the cheap and fertile lands of the
West. The return of peace will speedily
restore this species of property to its form
sr value, and this fact, combined with the
withdrawal Of the extraordinary military
restrictions, will tend to increase the
amount Of emigration for the latter half
Of the year. - ~

Rarey and the Tuscarawas Mare

Rarey, the Hofse-Tamer was in, toyn

wild colt to the satisfaction of bis pupils.
At New Philadelphia few days ago he

The Class then adjourned until alter
noon, when kicking mare-a Sire Eat
er. from Strasburgh, was brought into the
Barn to Mr.. Rarey, to subdue. She was
a fine looking animal-but had such . pro-
pensity for kicking, that her owner got her
for a COW. No one dared to approach
her unless they were 10 'front.' and then she
would sometimes strike with her fore feet.
Mr.. r. appeared confident Of success. He
worked faithfully for several hours-but
failed TO subdue her,, She would kick, and
squeal and squeal and kick, and Mr.. Rarey
was compelled to admit that be could not
stop her kicking propensities in the short
time be remained here, and asked some of
his pupils to experiment. The scholarsbe-
came dissatisfed-some of them swore
they were humbugged, and thought their
money should be returned. A storm was
brewing, and Rarey agreed 70 remain an
other day. He sent for the .mare-work-
ed again all day, but the mare still kicked
as wickedly as ever. The great ~Ameri-
can Horse Tanner" was headed for once
He owned up that he was beaten-pur-
chased her for $40, and declared that she

As is usual in such case the project was
early exposed by one Of those admitted to
the confederacy and the, officers were thus
enabled to keep the run Of it. LEGS than
the usual preparations were made BY the
convicts very few of the weapons ordinari-
ly invented by them baying been found.
On Monday afternoon, at five o'clock,
the signal was given. A number q men
in the hat shop stopped work, and started
fer the door, where they were met By the
keeper Glen, with q revolver, aud driven
back by the determined threats Of that Of
ficer to use his. weapon eaectualy unless
they promptly returned to their places.
Fifteen or twenty men in the foundry
shop also made start, but returned to
their work as suddenly as they left proba
bly, on signal from some confederate out
side the shop, who saw that the game vas
up. sS ssss. z.s.s .sszl ...sssss
Only two men persisted in the attempt,
so far as to escape from the immediate
custody of their keepers. There were >
Couple Of coIored men working in the yard
who made desperate efforts to escape
One was met by guard, with a revolver.
The first effort to fire it failed, but the
guard re-cocked it so quickly as to have
the man under fire before be reached HIM
Seeing the chances were against him, the
convict surrendesed. He was armed With
a hammer weighing about pound a.

movement would naturally have been to
offer the hand; but the Emperor Napo-
leon said "a

loyalty and cordiality of which you certain
.ly partake let US embrace" And the two
Emperors threw themselves into each 9th

The two monarchs brreakfasted, and re-
mained together till P. NJ, and it would
appear, settled the basis of peace before
parting. In military circles it is said Ma
poleon showed documents to the Emperor
Of Austria, which removed any doubt he
might have felt about the necessity Of sac
rifcing Lombardy. One document was a
Prusso-Angio Russian peace project based
on the occasion of Venetia as well as Lom-
hardy; and the other was a dispath in
which Prussia expresses resove not draw
the sword ia defense of any part Of the Aus
trian possessions and Italy.

From the Albany Argus and Atlas.

The Secret Motive of Peace
NJ, ,Gaillarde:, the able correspondent Of
the New Yok Courrier des Efats Unis,
and the best ihfermed of the writers for
the Ameican press, ascribes the peaes,
among ether things, to q serious misunder-
standing between NAPOLEON and Victor
Emmanuel. The latter felt offended BE-
cause his personal gallantry and that of bis
army at the>battle of Palestro were not no
ticed in Napoleon's order of the day. His
anger was so great, that at the battle Of
Magenta, he delayed to cccupy the nos;.
ton assigned him and left the Imperiial
Guard To sustain for two hours, unsup-
ported, the Austrian Army. He nearly
lost the battle by bis delay, and the En-
peror did not hesitate to charge him with
it, as be believed 1t was done on purpose.
The King of Piedmont became so dis
trustful that when Napoleon announced the
hour for entering in triumph into Milan, be
was at the place tive hours ahead Of time,
fearing the French Emperor would make
the entry aione.- These details came from
Victor Emmanuel himself who told them
in conversation with one of the Directors
of the Lombard Railroad. SOD sd I
NJ. Gaillardet writes also that though
the Milanese hailedthe advent of the French
with enthusiasm, the reception became cold
er as they penetrated Lombardy.S When
the Austrians approached Brescia, after the
battle of Solferino, the inhabitants re-
placed the Italian tri-color with tho Aus
trians flags, which they bad kept iureserse.
In the country the Fpeasantry showed no
good will for the French soldiers. a!
In spite of the talk about the enthusi-
rasm of the Italian patriots, there were We
ry few enlistments, except the five or six
thousand patriots, mostly exiles, under
Garibaldi. The population did not rise
and take arms, as the proclamation of Ma
poleon invited them 10 do. On the other
hand, the Lombard troops in the Austrian
army were faithful to their colors; and it
was the regiments almost exclusively Ital-
ian that fought most desperately against
