of Garibaldi
Naples Nov, s, 1860.
i" To MY COMPANIONS IN ARMS -
We must now consider the period just
finished as the last stage but ono in
orr national resurrection, and pre-
pare ourselves to finish worthily the
marvellous design of the elect of TWEEN
~ geners+ions, the completion of whiC h
Providence has reserved for this fortu-
r4te age of ours.
Yes, young men, Italy ows to you
an undertaking which has been marked
hy the applause of the Tn verse. To
this wonderful account in your couh-
try's history, another more glorious
still will be added, and the slave shall
show at last to his free brethren a
sharpened sword forged from the links
of his letters. To arms, then, all of
You, and the oppresaors and the mighty
will disappear like the dust.
Yon, too, women, cast away all
towards from your arms, that will on
!, give you towards for children, and
you who are the daughters of this
land of duty must have children who
are noble and brave. Let timid doc
trinos be cast out from among you
Providence has presented Italy with
Victor Emmanuel, and by the side of
Victor Emmanuel every quarrel should
be forgotten.
Once more, I repeat my battle cry,
TO arms, all of you = If March, 1851
does not find million Of Italians in
arms, then alas for Italy alas fer lib
erty Let the March of 1851, or if
necessary, the February, find us all at
.onr posts. Italians of Calataferni,
Palermo, Volturno, Ancona, Castillo
dardo, and Iserni, every man Of this
land who is not a coward, or slave
is on our side All Of US, all of US, |
say, standing round the glorious hero
Of Palestro, will strike the last blow
at the crumbling ediGce of tyranny.
Receive voluenteerS the honored
conquerors of battles One word Of
farewell from me to-day. / am obliged
to retire, but it is for few days ouly.
The hour of battle will find me with
you again. Let those only return to
their homes, who are called by the
imperative duties of theil families, and
those who 10y their wounds have de-
served the gratitude of their country.
Those will serve Italy in their homes
by their counsels, and the very aspect
of their noble wounds. Apart from
these, let all others remain to guard
oHr glorious banners.
We shall meet ere long again, to
march together for the redemption of
our brethren who still are the slaves of
the stranger
We shall meet ere long again to
march together to new tliumphs."
A POISONED RING. The Paris state
papers state that gentleman who had,
some time ago, purchased some o.
jects of art at shop in the Rue st.
lIonore, was engaged in examining an
ancient ring, when he gave himself a
slight scratch in the hand with sharp
part of it. He continued talking
with the dealer for short time, when
he suddenly felt an indescribable SEN
sation over his whole body, which ap-
peared to paralyze all his faculties,
and he soon became so seriously i'll
that it was considered necessary to
send for medical man. The doctor
Immediately discovered every symptom
Of poison by some mineral substance.
He applied strong antidotes, and in a
short time the gentleman was in a
measure recovered. The ring was
fond to be what was formerly called
a death-ring, in use in Italy when acts
of poisoning were frequent about the
middle of the seventeenth century. At
tached to it outside were two claws of
lion, made of the sharpest steel, and
having clefts in them filed with most
violent poison. In crowded assem-
bly,, or in ball, the wearer of this ia
tai ring, wishing to exersise revenge
on any person, would tax their hand,
and when pressing it the sharp claw
would be sure to inflict a slight
s.ratch on the skin. This was
enough, for on the following morning
the victim would be sure to be found
dead. Notwithstanding the many
years since which the poison on this
ring had been placed there, it retained
its strength sufficiently to cause great
inconvenience to the gentleman as sta
