military ability q Allibuster and land pirate,
who makes war upon the property, peace, law

The journals Of the United States derive
their ideas aud impressions Of men and things
in Europe from the journals of London; but
probably the Italian correspondents OF the
London Times are in no wise superior to the
Richmond correspondent OF its New York
namesake, exceptin talent and strong writing.
Even the newspapers OF Paris, to whose uttsr-
nncee more i'm Dor lance 10 attached, because
they are believed to be OF imperial inspira-
ton, and to indicate the purposes Of the Gov
ernment, are beginning TO alter their tone
abeut q ARIBALDI. The Constitutional speaks
of him as a thoroughly incapable dictator, and
a very mediocre General II opposed TO regular
troops. 1t now says that the King of Naples,

GARIDALpI has managed matters SO badly that

at his back and amidst the rivas OF the citi-
zens roy alist reaction Is already existing

ha. the audacity to speak TO VICTOR EMAHUEL
as EQUAL with equal, and to talk OF attacking
ID Austria who for fifteen hours stood at Soife-
rluo against the night and majesty of France ;
nav. even of assaulting France herself, whose
legions are at Rome, and through whose
ssrried ranks he must pass before he can reach
that Quirinal from which he proclaims his
intent don Of Announcing the redemption of
united Italy. 1t is high time hat France
should prevent any further disturbance Of
the peace go
Think Of that, good people! A disturbance
of the peace Is the world blind, or dream
ing or mad, that it is expected to forget one
day what has hsprsned the day before, that it
is TO believe maH a demi-god this week and q

Western Powers Of Europe dictate! What

cious than that which is exercised by the press
OF London over the human mind in England
and America, deceiving it with false state
ments, CONVERTING evil into good and good into
evil, making it believe not only what it be-
lieves itself, but what it don't believe and
compelling it to be as frequent in its changes
as the inconstant moon.
We suppose that the real question in Italy
is not between the people and their rulers
but-who shall rule The people? We are told
that LOUIS NAPeLEsH, VICTOR ENANUEL. and
1GARIsALDI, thosgh they may misunderstood
each other, are all after the same thing, which
is undoubtedly trss, The same thing" being
self-aggrandZeATa in one and all. That
is common ppssaipls to absolutists and red
republicans. TEsfs Is no more selfish and ex-
acting tyrant th<i ysur mou thing demasoeue.

No sooner was ths Heaven com missioned apos
tie of freedom ia Naples than he banished
every man from the country who differed
from him in political opinion. But the char
acter and conduct of GARIBALDI are becoming
every day a matter OF less and less conse-
quence. The real combatants are just en- ter
ing the arena the sombre shadows of an al
lance between Russia, Austria, and Prussia
are darkening the Northern horizon England
manifssts apprehension that France il seek
ing new territorial accessions in Italy; the
Zouaves are once more preparing for the
march. GARIBALDI will be brushed away
from before the faces Of the advancing con test
ants like a bu2zins Ay, and in a week after
these giants cross their swords, his existence
Will be forgotten.
