MEssIYA, Quarter General August 4.
Dear Sr,-I snatch moment from my duties with
the heroic Garbsdi to your question about the
real aim Of our movement i spoke so much on the
subject when lecturing in England, that feel it part
Of my old mission TO your people that fight
for the sole purpose Of uniting all Italy under tho
constitutional sceptre of Victor Emanuel. Let English
men repudiate the idea that there is anything repub-
can in tho present movement, since the hottest
followers Of Tepubicansm have sacrificed their views
TO the great cause of our independence, unity, and
constitutional liberties. ! am indeed, the happiest
Of patriots finding myself after 10 many years in
the very field l longed for where the conquest Of
our civil liberties will bring TO my Italy the re-.
lgious freedom which was always the dream of
my exiled life. Nor can | help feeling proud in
recolectDg that my words TO English audiences
were neither poeca nor impraccsbe but the express
sion of practical mind. What people objected to in
my Italian views has been realized beyond all imagin-
alton. They said We could and would not iight---we
fought that we could not govern ourselyes--we did
that could not enjoy wisely our acquired berti,
we have done that also; finally, that we could not
rid ourselves of our municipal jealousies-we have
done efectually, aud TO the astonishment of the
world. Meantime, i have 10 thank your House of
Commons for their generous words Lord John Russell
for his open and firm expressions, and above ALL your
people W large, who have given such u moral support

We are perfectly satisfied from our long
experience, and have advocated it for the last
ten years, that the best and most profitable
swine fox the farmer is that breed which will
nearly mature at eight to twelve months old
and weigh, when fattened and dressed, from
$50 to $50 pounds. A pig that has to be
wintered, and kept till sixteen to nineteen
months old, before fully fattened, rarely pays
for itself at the ordinary price of pork; and
the average weight Of these in the United
States, syen at q year and half old, we do no,
believe exceeds 300 pounds. Now what the
farmer wants is breed with fine points and
great growths Such breed can be made
fat at any age, and invariably natures quick
Weehink the Suffolk and its crosses come
