~- From all we can learn by opserVa-
ton and hearsay, we are impressed with The
conviction that the Breckenridge ancey
orators in this canvass are having hard
time of it to get up materials for their
speeches They evidently feel the hopeless
ness of their conditional sea, in storm of
their own invocation, their masts broken and
sails tattered, scudding before the gale under
poles shiVered and bare, to inevitable des-
truction-and are catching at any and every
thing within their impotent reach. The
Black Republicans, Bell, Douglas. Know
Nothin gism, &c. &c-. come in each for their
share of denunciaiion and auimadversion.
Altogether the abiest OF their speeches, as
was witnessed here ON Tuesday night, consist
of very weak conglomerate of stuff. The
strongest point, decidedly, is against the Re
publcans, but as there are none of them al
present in Tennessee, that part of their work
is measurably thrown away. We are all
against the seetionaiism of the Republicans
The rest is mere Heather aud prunelia-.
The intelligent masses viii understand the
matter wherever it is presented, and viii
turn with loathing from the conclusion:
which they seek TO enforce.

fairly apotheosises Mr.. YANcEr 1t is foil of
references to his speech Of the night before.
Are We to understand from all this that the
Aralanche indorses Mr.. YANCEY's past course9
We more than half suspect that it does. We
are confirmed in this impression by the fol-
lowing notices OH some of the Transparent
cies used by the young Mems Breckenridge
and Lane Association on the occasion OF
the speech, and which were concocted in the
immediate circle of the Aralanche's greatest
influence:
I'VE want our rights-we will have them.
Peacefully If We can-forcibly if we must
by the eternal, We will have our rights .
When the argument is exhausted we will
stand by our arms
This must have been gratifying TO Mr..
YANcEy in the highest degree. II is just
about such twaddlc as he would expect
from his fast friends of the Southern League.
1t is almost as grateful TO 6re-eating dis
unionist as q South Carolina Fourth of July
toast-equal to the war-cry of protection
or blood. " Fellow-citizens OF Tennessee!
look well TO the progress of disunion in the

flung down in a heap before the audience,

witches of Macbeth over the pot of hideous
ingredients--tbough individually gathered

ture had placed them-he exclaimed: here is
party here are principles! here is harmony
destroyed. proportions ignored, and right
blasted. This species oferiticism is very easy
and harmless as easy.
Mr.. Yencey evinced considerable pride at
the position assigned him as an eater OF Goals,
and q proprietor of rev olution; but he made
no attempt at argument TO defend himself end
party from the charges brought against them,
founded on their own professions and procla-
nations. The utmost he had TO sllege ap-
peared to be, that they were as good as the
douglas party" aud that if Breckenridge
was irregularly nominated SO was Douglas.
He appeared to make a pet Of the position
that they sought to force slavery upon none
that were averse to ii. They only asked,
when Territory refused or neglected to
make laws to protect the emigrant in his
slave property, that Congress should do so.
There was some humor, tolerable amount
of sarcasm, and flashes of a driving impell-
ing species of eloquence in the speech, but as
a whole there was heaviness in the argument,
and resort to citations that put the nearer
in mind of the position of an advocate at
lacking the case of the opposite side and
keeping his own out of sight. relying for his
points upon verbal difficulties in the testi-
mony of his opponents Witnesses.

The Battle o MeIaZzo as Described by
A Dumas.

1t is not often we have the description of
veritable battle by novelist; that class of
individuals generally preferring to arrange
such affairs with the pen rather than the
sword. The Paris Press publishes letter
from NJ. Alexander Dumas describing the
engagement at Melazo, of which he was an
eye witness. The following are the.extracts:
At dawn on the 10th July, all the troops
were in movement TO attack the Neapolitans,
who had come out OF the fort and village of
MelaZZo, which they occupied. Malenchin
commanded the left; General Medici and
Cosenz the center; while the right was COM
posed of a few companies only, intended to
cover the center and left wing from sur
prise. Garibaldi was in the center where
the action was expected TO be the sharpest
The firing began on the left from the Neapol.
itan outposts, concealed in reed-bed half
way between Meri and Melazzo. A quarter
of an hour later the center attacked the Nea-
politan line, and drove it from its POSITION
The right dislodged the Neapolitans fromsome
houses which they occupied. As the diff
culties of the ground prevented reinforce
ments from arriving, BOsco, with 5000 men,
turned upon the 500 TO 600 who had driven
him back. The latter were at first obliged
to retire before the superior numbers of the
their aid, they again attacked the enemy,
many of WHOM were still concealed among
reeds and protected by fg trees, so that a
charge with the bayonet was impossible
Medici, while advancing at the head of his
men, had horse killed under him. Cosenz
was struck in the neck by spent ball, and
fell; he was for moment supposed to be
MORALLY wounded, but he was only stunned,
and almost instantly he was on his legs again

head of the Genoese Carbineers and some
guides, attempted to take the enemy in the
fink, but suddenly came on gun placed in
the center of the road, and which he determ-
ined to attack. When within twenty PAGES,
the cannon, loaded with grape, was fired by
the Kings troops. The effect was terrible;
only five or six men remained standing
Garibald had part of his boot and his STIR
rup carried away; his horse was also wound
ed, and be was compelled to alight. Major
Breda and his trumpeter were killed by his
side; Misori's horse fell dead under him;
Statella was left standing unhurt In the midst
of the iron storm, ali the others were killed
or wounded. The gun which had done all
this mischief was taken soon after.
Then the Nepolitan infantry opened and
gave passage to a charge OF fifty cavalry Tor
the purpose of retaking the piece. Col.
Danon's men, who had been but little under
fire. threw themselves to the sides of the
road instead of receiving the charge on their
bayonets. The cavalry came like q whirl-
wind, the Sicilians firing from both sides.
Thus assailed, both right and left, the COM
mander of the Neapolitan cavalry stopped,
and wanted to turn back. but found the pas
sage barred by General Garibaldi, Misori,
Statella and five or six men. The General
seized the officers bride and cried out,

From the Boston Courier.
Anticipation.

We lay down three propositions for the
special benefit of those who are entertained
if not instructed, by the curious political
speculations of the New York Herald:
l. That the Republican party is not so
strong as it was in 1856.
We Judge of this from what we see and
know at home; and the same causes operate
everywhere. The changes in Massachusetts,
are very numerous and constantly occurring
and uniformly from the Republican to the
Union party.
2. That what remains of it is not as united
or as enthusiastic, or as confident, as it was
in 1856.
This is evident to all men, and needs nc
proof.
3. That Lincoln will be beaten worse than
Fremont was in 1856.
No one imagines that he can carry Cali
fornia or Oregon of the free States. We
have no idea that he can take the vote OF
either New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio
The prospect is not fattering for him in Mas
sachusetts, certainly-which being far more
rational, when put to the test, that some peo-
pie imagine-much prefers her old friends,
John Bell and Edward Everett, both oil
whom she knows well, to Abraham Lincoln
and Hannibal Hamlin, of whom she knows
little, and that not very favorable. Rhode
Island may undoubtedly be carried for Doug
las. As for Connecticut and Maine, we shall
say nothing, until the canvass is more adj
vanced. er

We understand that the Hon. Emerson
Etheridge made speech at Dresden. Tenn,
during which he read the black republican
platform, and asked if there was any man
there who could find fault with it. He fur
Their said that the election OF Lincoln on that
platform would give peace to the country,
whilst Breckenridge election would dissolve
the Union.

The Memphis AcaLaaeke has had the above
statement standing in its columns for some
days We do not believe there is any foun-
dation for it. We know that Mr.. ErHERIDGE
has, within the past two weeks, expressed
opinions upon the subject of slavery in the
Territories which places him in conflict with
the positions indicated above. No man In
the State has been subjected to grosser mis-
representation than Mr.. ETHERIDGE. 1t ap-

Ak IsrEREsrIse INcIDEsr AT RIcHMosD.-

An INTERESTING INCIDENT AT RICHMOND
There was Breckinridge meeting at Rich
mond, Va, on Tuesday night Of last week,
intended to be mass meeting but too small
to deserve the name. Two or three speakers
figured upon the occasion. Mr. Wexford. a
prominent leader of the fre-eating set, as
sured the meeting most solemnly that Brock
inridge would triumphantly carry every
Southern State Mr. Wise bore earnest and
vehement testimony that Breckenridge would
easily carry Virginia in spite of both the
Douglas aud Bell men.
Thereupon Mr.. Wood, of Richmond, rose
aud stated that he had always been Demo
srat and was still Democrat. but that be
| was prepared. then and there. to offer bet
of from five hundred to five thousand dollars
| that Breckenridge would not carry the State
| of Virginia. The proposition fell upon the

Plenty of Corn I'm Missouri.

Missouri has planted. this year, fifty per
cent. more corn than ever before. Some of
it is cut short, but the greatest crop ever
made stands on the ground. The Fulton
Telegraph speaks for Galloway county as fol-
lows
Everybody, six week ago, expected that
the corn crops would be largely over an
average. Since then rain has been very
much needed. Corn has been stunted to
some extent, in some localities. Notwith-
standing these difficulties. the corn crops in
Galloway will be unusually large. Recent
rains have produced a very beneficial result
in the late corn. and we look for more than
an average crop. Hungarian grass and mil
let yields will be large. So that we need
fear no famine, nor anything of the kind.

~ One of the most gratifying circum-
strnces connected with the Breckinridge-Y an
cey demonstration the other night on Broad
street was the invincible smile which Lit up
the countenance of Col. HAYNES. That
faculty which enables him to snap his fingers
in the face of despair, and submit to the most
crushing defeat with a genuine smile OF re-
ngnation on his face, will save him world
OF sorrow. We sincerely trust he may be
able to smile on to the end of the canvass,
and that it may illumine his soul within, and
giFe consolation to his used up friends in the
dark hours of November, which are as GER
tain for them as the coming of time.

Mr.. YANCET recently made 4 number of
speeches in North Alabama. a proposition
was made to him to divide time with Col.
JERE CLEMENS. He declined. When he spoke
at Huntsville, Col. CLEMENS was there. Mr..
YANCEY did not see proper to speak of him
in discourteous terms, if nc spoke of him at
all But when he got to Memphis, out of
CLEMENS way, he, as we learn from the En-
qeiirer, affected to sneer at him as ''broken
down politician" and denounced him rs "a
political Hessian." We venture TO say that
Mr.. YANCEY would nos have dared TO use
this language in the presence of Col. GLEN

speech OF Mr.. xaneex.

The lateness of the hour allows but brief
remark or two upon the speech of Mr.. Yam
cey last night. The orator at the outset. and
more than once further on in his address
acknowledged that be was speaking with
cautIen. HE knew where he was, that he
was watched, that if he tripped it would be
seized upon," etc., were expressions that
showed he was at work with straight jacket
on.
These considerations, doubtless, led him to
confne himself to attacks upon opponents:
ana the attack, at least as far as the douglas
party" as he worded it, was of peculiar
kind. Odds and edds were cited from
speeches, resolutions of meetings, and edito-
rails OF newspapers, with apparently the de-
sign of being as heterogeneous in the extracts
as possible.

and by back stroke cut the officers cheek
open. The latter fell from his horse. Mean
while three or four sabres were raised against
the General, who wounded one of his assail-
ants with thrust of his sabre, while Misori
killed two others and the horse OF third
with his revolver. Statella brought down
one antagonist, while another, who sprang at
Misori's throat, was killed by the fourth shot
of his revolver. While this struggle was
drawing to close, Garibaldi rallied his scat
tered men, charged with them, and either
took or killed the rest of the fifty horsemen.
Seconded by bis center, he next charged the
Neapolitans ,'Bavarians and Swiss with the
bayonet. The Neapolitans fled at once, but
the Bayarians and Swiss made snort stand

of the day.
