A LETTER from Palermo gives the follow
ing anecdote of Sister of Charity: ga
young patriot, named Francisco Riso was
killed on april 4, during a popular demon
stration which took place before Garibaldi's
arrival. On April 20, his father, Giovanni
Riso, 60 years old was shot by the Bourbon
soldiers without so much as the form of a
trial On the very day that Garibaldi enter
ed Palermo, young and beautiful nun, Ig-
nacia Riso, the sister and daughter of the two
Risos above named, left the convent, and
amid a shower of balls and grapeshot, cross
in one hand and poignard in the other,
placed herself at the head of Garibaldi's col
umn, cring, Down with the Bourbons! Death
to the tyrantl Vengeancer She kept her
place as long as the fighting lasted, and her
courageous attitude electrified the volunteers
Ever since that day the name of Ignaco Riso
has been held sacred. When she passes in
the street the soldiers bow low and bless her
with the most profound respect. Garibaldi
himself pays her great attention, and loves
her as if she were his own daughter

OWNS SPOKEN SPEECH AND THE PUBLISHED
oNE.-A correspondent of the Bulletin writes
as follows from Stockton. under date of Sep
tember lst:
l have just been amusing myself by read
ing in the San Francisco Herald the report( y
of Senator Gwin's speech, made last Wednes-
day evening. and synopsis of which sent
you for Fridays Bulletin. You will have
noticed that the report is interarded heavily
by reportorial notes of Great Applause"
Tremendous Applause" ""Cries of Sherman" !"
Laughter, That's so, Tremendous
Cheers" Prolonged Applause" etc, ETC.
Now, all these notes are entirely and purely
imaginary. There was no tremendous
cheering" or cries of any kind denotng SYM
pathy with the speaker or pleasure on the
part of the audience Inever saw a colder
more incredulous seeming, and unsympathis-
ing audience. There were one or two at
tempts to get up cheers-but they ignomini-
Ously and ridiculously failed, and served to
make the speakers unpopularity more evident
and embarrassing.
am told that the Herald's report" was
in type before Gwins speech was even de-
Iivered. 1t is next to impossible that the
printers could have used the manuscript
made from the reporters notes taken on the
occasion.
In all probability, the outside Of
the Herald, on which the speech appears,
went to press before the Stockton boat ar
rived Then, it being impossible for them
TO have copied from any manuscript furnished
them by reporter on the ground, it is evi
dent that all the notes of applause, cheers,
etc, were invented by DIR. Gwin and sprinkl-
ed in at pleasure, for effect abroad. Thus
convicted of flsifying, by his direct agency,
the simple report of public meeting, what
confidence can the public repose in his gem
eral yeracity? What respect can the people
of Stockton have for man who deliberately
msrepresents them as having "applauded''
and "cheered," when they were perfectly in
noeent of doing any such things? may say
that | was told in Stockton on Thursday
morning that the MS. of Gwn's speech was
in San Francisco,a and that it would be printed
an full in the Herald next day. The result
