THE MEXICAN NEGOTIATION.

The stories Of Mormon outrages which have

not unfrequently, perhaps, may safely be given to
the Mormons In the case of Sergeant Pike, how.
ever it is impossible to lean to mercy's side,
as the man seems TO have been assassinated
BY Mormon, with Mormon approval, for no other
provocation than the defense Of his own life in an
ARRAY when carrying out the orders of his superior
officer The particulars, a. related by our own
correspondent at Camp Floyd, in letter published
in Wednesdays TRIBUNE, are in the maio correct,
but we have since seen some private letters, and
especisly letter from Sergeant Pike himself, to
brother 10 this city written in April last, giving
account Of the original difficulty, when be, poor
fellow, little thought what would be its catastrophe,
which make it very certain, a. far as we can nov
see, that be died the murdered victim Of private
revenge for faithfulness to his public duty.
On she 11th Of April, Pike writes 10 his brother
that he bad been on detached service for q month,
and had had very good time, "wth the excep-
" ton Of a row l b,d with Mormon" He goes
on to say that the detachment wa encamped near
house occupied BY Mormon on the Government
Re'er'e, who herded cattle belonging to Spencer
Of Salt Lake City. This man sold whisky, which
is contrary to the regulations on the Reserve, and
some of tie soldiers got drunk at bis house. Pike
enforced The liquor law, and spilled the whisky, at
which Spencer, who seems TO have owed tho
spirit as We'll as the cattle was little mad"
when the act was reported to him. Col. Smith
soon after sent orders 10 Lieut.. Marshall to
break up this settlement altogether, as the house
was sort Of rendezvous for the horse-thieves Of
the district, to disperse or arrest whom this Do
achment was detailed. Pike was directed TO car.
~ out this order, and be gave notice to the MOI.
mcu to quit the next morning. He begged hard,
however, b be permitted to remain through tho
day, to which the Sergeant consented, BY permits
sion of his commander. At night, more peremp-
tory orders came from Col. Smith, for the imme-
date removal Of the family and the stock. Ths
enforcement Of this second order was also entrust
ed to Pike, with file Of soldiers. In the mean
time four Mormons had arrived at the house, and
some disposition was shown to resist the ejectmsnt
but the Sergeant was imperative, and the psrtyws
compelled to pack up, preparatory to removal. But

From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer
Garibaldi.


The chief feature Of the news OF the
Argo at st. Johns, n, F., is the success
of Garibaldi on his expedition with his
volunteer corps across the right wing Of
the Austrians in Upper Lombardy. Our
last advices left him entering Varese,
thirteen miles west of Como, with six
thousand men. By the news of the Argo
we learn that he has since pushed on, and
after furious fight with the Austrians,
has entered Como amidst bell-ringing, il
luminations, and general rejoicings. All
the steamers on the lake of Como are in
his possession. At the latest advices he
had fought at Camerlosta another battle
with the Austrians, in which the latter
gave way, and retreated towards Milan,
pursued by their victors. These details,
meagre as they are, show that Garibaldi
has achieved brilliant success and over
whelmed the Austrians with defeat not
less signal than that which they have sus-
tained at Montebello. AS all that relates
to this Italian Patriot will now be of new
interest, we take from his autobiography,
translated by friend of his in this city,
but not yet published, few particulars of
his eventful and stirring life.
A native of Piedmont, Garibaldl. like
his father and grandfather, early in life
became sailor, and performed numerous
voyages in the Mediterranean and Levant
until, having joined the Secret Society Of
Italian Patriots, he was condemned to
death, and escaped from Genoa. to Mar
seilles in disguise. In one of his early
voyages he had visited Rome
Having subsequently spent few months
at Rio Janeiro, and learned the condition
of the Republic of Rio Grande, which had
rebelled against the tyranny of the Bra
lillian Empire, he embarked with Gen.
Rosetti in a small vessel to go to their as.
sistance, and captured few coasting YES
sells on his way, under the authority of
the flag of the new State. He was soon
after attacked, in the Parana, by Bra
lillian vessel of much superior force, and
laid senseless on his deck by shot in the
neck, which rendered him unconscious till
after the repulse of the enemy Here
commenced his military life which con.
tinued fourteen years in South America
and through the revolutions Of 1882 il
Italy, and afforded variety Of scenes, OF
alternate trial, success and disaster, seldom
paralleled, A chief object at which he
constantly aimed, in his romantic South
! American military career, was to train tc

WOMAN ON HOSPITALITY IN-TENT.--Our
ladies about this time of year, are usually
wishing there were no such things as houses
-" house.cleaning' is such slavery.
But, let them read what the alternative
is, in the East -
An Arab family-tent is from twenty
FIVE to thirty feet iu length, by about ten
feet in breadth in the highest parts, it is
from ten TO seven feet; in the lower about
FIVE. 1t has nine poles three in the
middle, and three on each side, covered
at the top with thick cloths of woven goats
hair, impervious to the heaviest rain. The
side-coverings are usually of coarse wool.
The interior is divided into two apartments
by means of white woollen fower-em-
broldered curtain, hung against the middle
poles, Que side being for men, the other
for the women. Ia the first, also, are the
wheat-sacks, camel-bags, and pack-saddles
heaped up like pyramid round the centre
post and, in the second one, the water
and butter-skins, kitchen utensils, and all
the more domestic appointments of the
tent, Sometimes the tent has three COM
partments the third for the cattle. In
some tribes the goats hair canvas is in
strips of alternate black and white in
others 1t is all black and in others again
(about Askalon) all white; but always in
strips sewn together by coarse thread, or
secured by small wooden pins. The wo-
men alone undertake the striking and
fixing of the tents while the men flourish
their lances in the air, or vapor madly
about on their feet mares, until their
wives, having prepared their house, get
ready their food, which they eat alone in
masculine sublimity, leaving scraps por-
tiohs for their hungry women, as generous
men leave bones for dogs.
