The Tribune makes the following synopsis
Of the news by the steamer Arabia; =
Il is said that the Piedmontess lAncers pur-
sued the Pontifcsl gendarmes close to the
gates OF Rome. This is doubtful. Bsrtani,
late Secrstary-Gsneral Of Gariblldi, states
that neither himself nor Garibaldi ever
thought of counseling the immediate occu-
patton of Rome, at the risk Of q conflict with
France. The Sandman Chambers had
agreed to the annexation to Sardinia Of those
provinces Of Central and Southern Italy
which vote in favor thereof The Sandman
army was expected soon TO enter Neapoitan
terri ory. The Provinces of Urbane, Viter-
DO, and the Marches are lost to the Papal
Governments and Others are insurgent. The
only provinces left are Civita, Vecchia, Frosi-
none and Nulettri. A better feeling existed
between Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel, the
former having made some notifications in his
Ministry to meet the views oftho EespOlitans
Garibaldi, however, appears anxious 70 leave
matters as they stand in the hands Of Victor
Emanuel, and retire from the f0ld. IN the
defeat of the Patriots at CapuA, the Anglisb
Hungarian brigade was badly CIT up. In q
manifesto Mazzini declares that no King OF
Italy should be proclaimed before tho King
dom Of Italy is organized at Rome.
There is again some talk, as on former
occasion, of a European Congress, or a
Congress of the Catholic powers, to dispose
the Italian complication; bat as, on that
occasion, no such Congress met one will
hardly meet now. The Pope meanwhile
seems by no means disposed to submit quiet
ly. A fragment of his late army still re-
mains to him, and beside anathemas issu
ed against Victor Emanuel, fresh enrollment'
are being made, though hey cannot be o.
much account especially his Holiness nC
longer has a General, sinI Lamoriciere hai
been taken prisoner and Sc It to Turin.
1t is announced that the heroic Garibaldi
having invited the Sandman monarch t.
come and complete the work that he has Sc
gloriously begun and carried nearly TO it
consummation, now proposes to lay down al
tue lower which he has acquired, retiring t
his simple and unpretending farm on the Isl
and of Sardinia.

Three Ye,reI. of Perrr,. Fleet.

Gen. Bierre, of Akron, has furnished the
Ohio Farmer with the following interesting
sketch of three of the nine small vessels with
which the victory of Perry was won. He
writes:
Brimel Robins, who liveA Ntabeth-
tewn, Allegh my county, Penh, hAd the con-
tract for building three Of the vessels. He
Sc ected cold Portage" on the Cuyahogh,
six miles north of Akron, for shipyard; and
employed Ste eEart Gaylord, then living al
the "old village" near Cuyahoga Falls, rs
superintendent. Gaylord has been dead sew
eral years, but his widow is still living on
the farm where be died. The vessels were
not much larger than canal boat, but diff
| ferently shaped, and were fitted for oars or
sails. They were competed about the first
of June, lsl3 and named Cripple" "Ti-
ger, and Portage" After being launched,
| Gaylerd employed William Coggswell, from
Beaver county, Penn, (now of Bath; J John
| Wells of Northampton; Peter Hackerthorn,
of Licking county, and others, to float them
down to the lake; with ORDERS when they
got to "the Pinery," in Mortified, to cut
pines for the masts and spars.
The first day, they got as far as "the PENN
.sula, where they landed, and spent the night.
The next day, in going round the bend Of
the river, they struck a rock with one of the
boats, and the boat wheeling round, struck
another and lodged fast. They cut poles,
and wa ing into the river, dislOdged the
boat and proceeded. This detained them so
that they spent the second night on an island
half a mile below the Peninsula, where they
killed coon, and named the island "CoOn
Island" Arriving at "the Pinery," they
lay there several days cutting masts and
spars. While there, Coggswell shot por-
cupine, which was to them a great curios-
ty.
Having taken their masts and spsrs on
board, they started for Cleveland, where they
arrived safely. On reaching Olevela nd,
Coggswell told Robins he would treat the
company, if be would lot him name one oi
the boats to vrhich Robins agreed. Coggc
well got quart of rum, which cost him one
dollar, and the company having drank all
round, Coggswell finished the treat and
striking the empty bottle over the bow o
the boat, changed "the Portage to I" ,h'
Porcupine"

Cor HIS ANswER.-In one of the central
counties a pro-slavery spouter was declaim-
ing with great vehemence about 'nigger
equality" when he attempted an illustration
thus:
Suppose the Republicans should win
what would be the result? Let me draw q
picture. You, sir pointing to well-dressed,
good looking man in the crowd at the next
election, with your honest face and patriotic
heart, would march up to the polls and depos-
it your vote for, say Stephen A. Douglas, the
people's choice. Following you would come
a big, greasy, sweating, rank, kinkey-haired,
thiek-lipped, crooked-shined negro, filled with
the passions and ignorance common to his
race, treading on your heels, and jostHug you
in the crowd. Holding ballot in his hand,
he would deposit it the box for, say Abra-
ham Lincoln, thus neutraliziug your vote,
and doing so much toreduce you to the mig
ger level. What would you say to that
sir2"
81 should say" responded the man intero-
gated, 'tthat the nigger had a Id sighi

RehaIIInn OF the south.

The South Carolina fre-eaters are again
belching disunion smoke. A Washington
dispatch of the 18th to the Gazette says;
The Governor of South Carolina has
issued his usual proclamation for the assembly
of the Legislature 10 elect Presidential
Electors, who viii of course be Breckinriage
men; but he has accompanied it with the
unusual recommendation that the body thus
convened should take measures for the de-
fense and protection of the State. 1t is there
fore expected that the Legislature will remain
in session until the fourth Monday of No.
vember, when the regular session will com
mence. From what I am able to gather,
Alabama will lead off in the Southern move
ment, under the eauspices of Yaucey, and South
Carolina will be the first to follow her ex-
ample ! believe, however, the great body
Of Southern men have determined to await

necessarily incident upon the election of a
Black Republican to the Presidency Of these
United States, and in view of our duties to
our section, ourselves, and our best interests,
which must come in the event Of the triumph
of Northern fanatieism, hereby form ourselves
into an association, under the name and style

The Pope,s Irish troops in Captivity.

The volunteer force from Ireland to Rome
has not had very brilliant career in Italy.
The Leghorn correspondent of the London
Morning Post writes, Sept 2lst as follows;
Short indeed, and inglorious, has been the
career of the Hibernian heroes enlisted to up
hold the tottering temporalities of the PaPal
throne. One hundred and thirty irish prison
ers arrived here on the 10th inst, together
with about 800 other prisoners of war cap
tured at Perugia. A proclamation of the
Governor, Biscossi recommended the inhab-
itants Of Leghorn to abstain from any dem
onstration OF antipathy on the arrival of
these prisoners, who were received, conse-
ouentiy, with silent curiosity. A batch of
about fifty officers had preceded the
main body of prisoners on the evening OF
the 18th, consisting of Swiss, Romans, gend-
armes, and one Irish officer, Capt. Blakeney.
These were allowed to take up their quarters
for the night in the different hotels of the city,
but in the morning they were,,collected IN the
fortress and forwarded in the afternoon to
/ Genoa BY sea. 1t Is understood that the for
| eign soldiers thus captured will be sent to
their respective countries.
! lue lTlsQ are IdluGA HAAASI9 W INV" h--Sa-
| destiny as prisoners of war. "What are they
going to d. with US now?" is the first ques-
| ton. To be shut up in the swampy fort
resses OF Alessandris would not please them
much; to be showed on to the French terrific
ry lust across the frontier would, they think
not pl ice them in a much more enYiabte con
dition; but to put them on board goot
steamer at Genoa, and be transferred once more
to the green shores OF Erin, would be h'
most favorable conclusion to their ill-adviseC
campaign that they could venture to hop'
for.
You have, of course, already heard tina
the fortress of Spoleto has capitulatsd, anC
that the garrison of 600 men have been tax
en- prisoners. These will complete the por
ton of the Irish brigade on this side of tn
Apprentices.
They will sail for Genoa this afternoon.

The splendid triumph you achieved at the

aimed to carry our majority in the county to

average majority Of 3,O3s crowned your ex-
