I.7re ynOn EUnorr.-By the Pony Ex-

r. LATER rRoM EURoPE.-By the Pony Ex-
nress. we have dates from Europe TO Octo-
ber Path. A battle had been fought at Vol
turno between the Neapolitans and the pa
triot troops uuder GaribaIdi, in which the
latter were victorious. The Neapolitans.
10000 strong, attacked Garibaldi, with one
balfof that number, under cover OF thick
mist. and succeeded 10 driving them back.
Garibaldi rallied his men, with revolver in
hand, aud after desperate fight OF eight
hours, completely routed the Neapolitans
and pursued them under the walls of Capua'
cutting off a brigade of Germans, and dri-
wing them to the mountains. The royallsts
made sortie from Capua, TO rescue the
Germans, but were repulsed. The ex-King
of Naples and bis brother were present IN
the battle. The Neapolitans lost 5000 pris-
oners and 300 killed aud wounded; Carl
baldi's loss was between 1900 and 400.
The Piedmontese troops have entered the
Neapolitan territory, and assisted Garibal-
di in the battle.

THE ADMINISTRATION CAvING.-The Pony
Express which left ST. Louis October 23d,
brings report that the Administration
had issued orders 10 the Federal Office hold
ers of the North and West TO support the
Douglas Electoral tickets. The announce
ment is telegraphed from St. Louis asa
report only, and of course cannot be relied
on unless confirmed by the next arrival.
Should the Administration withdraw its
opposition to Douglas in those States where
tie Breckenridge party is composed exclu-
sively of office holders and their dependents,
it is quite likely that several of the West
ern States which are now regarded as GER
tain for Lincoln will go for Douglas.

an acre for rent. which is the price liked 10

allowing each acre TO produce fifty bushels

but If a man have the land, bors"s and feed,
he can make money, if the yield be such as

The Japanese Embassy.


N WAsHINGToN, May To-.
The precise character of the mission Of
the Japanese was not ascertained till last
night, when they produced letter, dated
Jeddo, handsomely written in English, in
which it is stated that the princes came
hero as ENJOYS Extraordinary, with tho
request that they be presented to the Presi-
dent through the State Department.
This letter was probably prepared at tho
instance of Consul General Harris.
This morning Mr.. Ledyard was at the
quarters of the Japanese arranging for
the official visit to the State Department
tomorrow, consequently their reception
by the President will not take place till
Thursday. To-day the scribes of the
embassy were busily engaged in writing
dispatches announcing their arrival with
the incidents of their voyage, to be sent
TO San Francisco by the Pony Express,
and thence to Japan. They have asked
for more private quarters at Wizards Ho-
tel, and that meals be sent to their rooms.
This has been accorded. Capt. Dupont
is very assiduous in his efforts to promote
their comfort.

TIE TECUMsEH BANK.-A run was

spread among tho community at large,

cumseh. The bank redeemed on Monday,
and on Tuesday broker of this city went
to Tecumseh with S142. He succeeded
in getting 800 of the amount in five
cent pieces, which the payer occupied all
the forenoon in counting out to him.
lie was on hand at the opening of tho
bank in the afternoon, but some one sue
ceeded in getting ahead of him, and he
returned after banking hours with $42 of
tho money. They redeemed in this way
up to the hour of closing. Another bro
ker of this place went up tho Same day
with $500, but was obliged to bring il
back. We also hear that The M. S. & N.
/. Railroad Co. sent messenger over
from Toledo on the Same day with So, 900,
but ho was unable to get any portion of
it redeemed. A number of merchants
took it for goods up to Wednesday, but
since that time have refused TO touch it.
Those who profess to be well posted
say there is about 100000 in circulation,
some $4,000 of which is in this county.
A considerable amount is held by citizens
Of this place.
Since tho above was in type, we hear
chat tho bank has closed for sixty days,
under tho act allowing suspension for
that time. We presume an effort will be
made TO place tho bank on its foot again,
but our advice TO tho community is, not
10 touch it unless it should go to work
under the general banking law. Some
of our brokers say they will not touch il

"Tho boat or car is all thas has been

correct scientific principles, by man who

that has attended tho past, is not only a
high encomium on the well directed en-
orgy of the inventor, but an assurance of
his success in the future.
