AN ITALIAN HERoINE.-A correspondent
writing TO the Washington National Intelli-
gencer, from Garibaldi's camp, gives the
following description of the Countess de Ia
Tore, who has become renowned during
the recent troubles in Italy:
Lieut.. Campbell called our attention to n
lady 10 military costume, just entering the
court, attended by a gentleman. Her dress
was velvet cap, with feather, q gray
suit the full skirt of which hung in many
folds TO her knees. She wore military boots
with spurs, and sword hung by a waist
belt. Her face was handsome-a dark bru-
nette with fine flashing eyes. The English
clustered around her, and she addressed
them few words of welcome, whereupon
the cheers of the soldiers made the walls of
the palace vocal with strange music for
such place. This lady was the Countess
de la Tore, who commands company.
and has greatly distinguished herselfby her
courage and GOODNESS. In tie battle of the
lst instant she'll fell near her, and those
near by, thinking, as most persons do at
such times, that "discretion is the better
part of valor," fell upon their faces await
ing the bursting; the Countess following
the example of the great Frederick under
similar circumstances, stood with arms fold
ed; and when it exploded she uttered the
most fierce reproaches on those who cow
cred.

men constantly, whose labor costs about

In manufacturing boots and shoes, the

Gently delivered an address to a meeting
in Boston. The following is an extract
from it:
The Douglas wing of that Demo
cratic party has made great progress,
and great credit is due to them. He
could be just to his opponents. The
Douglas party had made such progress
that they have come to the condition of
complete and stolid Indifference, and do
not care whether slavery is voted up or
down. They have come on neutral
ground, and he had no love or respect
for those who occupied neutral ground.
There have always been such men.
They wanted to wait till the battle was
over, and then they could come out and
Join the strongest party. They are
doing our work, and when they make
their next step it will not go backwards,
and the great masso of the Douglas party
will stand with us. The sympothlss Of
most Of the Douglas party are with the Re
publicuRs.

FROM TExAs.-Fues.-One or two fires
have lately occurred in Galveston, which
are plainly attributable to negro incen-
diaries. The female portion Of the in
habitants, the News says, exhibit much
alarm.
The details of the fire reported in Hen
derson are found in the News of the 18th.
We copy:
The principal hotel and all but n of
the business houses were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000 $4,000 worth of goods
were burned in the street, after removal
from the stores. All the supplies of
groceries, &c, for the town and neigh
borhood were burned, leaving many
families reduced to want. A negro
woman belonging toa man named Hern-
don, a small tavern keeper, confessed to
having started the fire. The master and
his brother are under arrest as being
concerned in the affair. Herndon was
already accused of having dealt with
slaves for stolen goods.
The committee we're Investigating the
affair, and many negroes confessed to a
knowledge of a general plot for incendl-
arism and murder.

saz-We yesterday Says the Picayune)

es-We yesterday (says the Picayune)
gave some extracts from the Press II
Tribune, one of the Republican journals
at Chicago.
Today, we find some quite as signlti-
cant to make, from 1.-The Democrat"
another leading Lincoln paper, Of which
the Republican Mayor of Chicago, is
editor. 1t is treating of the election OF
Blair to Congress,in Missouri, and draws
the following conclusions and cxhorta-
tons from that result:
Thus the cause of Repub)icanism
marches to triumph, even IN the slave
States.
While the great doctrine of the duty
of the Federal Government to make
"thc States all free" thus receives en-
dorsement in a slaveholding State, shall
the Republicans of the free States lower
their stand of principle?
The day of compromising, halfway
measures has gone by. The people are
determined to force the politicians up to
the point of making the States all free:
If the politicians are not prepared Tor
this, they must get out OF the road. Tn.
less they do, they will be run over.
The year of jubilee has come! Already
lis the child born who shall live to see the
last shackle fall from the limbs OF the
slave on this continent. Universal eman-
| cipation is near at hand.
Thank God! The day is fast approach
ing when the doctrines now preached by
the Chicago Democrat shall be boldly
and freely proclaimed in the streets OF
Charleston, South Carolina!
Peacefully, constitutionally, equltably
and h~onorably shall every vestige OF
slavery be wiped away, and our nation
become in fact, as it is in name, free.
The only class of people who are
standing in the way Of the accomplish
ment of this great work are the office
hunters-the fossils and the 1unkeys OF
the North. They can not, or will not,
see that the path of duty is the path OF
safety, and they prefer party to princl'
pie. oucn men WOulu id'C tiio AecP"o
lican party in the free States lower its
standard, and pretend not to be devoted
to the extinction of slavery everywhere,
while our gallant Republicans in the
slave States are winning victories upon
this very principle, in the face Of the
slave power.
But the great heart of the Republican
masses revolts against such hypocricy
and such trucking. They throw their
banner to the breeze, inscribed with
Lincoln's glorious words, "The States
must be made all Free" and under it will
march on to victory after victory, con
quering and to conquer.
God is with US in this fight against
] slavery, "the sum of all villainies."

THE CHEvALIER FoRNEY PAYING Orr
His DEBTS TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
The Chevalier Forney is doing his ut
most TO defeat the union of the Pennsyl-
yania Democracy upon the fusion cleo
toral ticket recently agreed upon among
the leaders of the two factions in Con-
yention: Thus Forney, in the interest
of the Republican managers, labors to
divide the Pennsylvania Democracy for
the benefit of Lincoln. Although the
Republican Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, elected in part for his SER
vices to them two years ago, and in part
for his expected services in this cam
paign, he still wears the cloak of De-
mocracy and sings Democratic princi-
pies. All this mockery, however, is SO
plain, that it can deceive nobody. For.
ney has been bought and paid for, to a
great extent, in advance. he is work
ing out his debt to the Republican party,
See the report Of the Covode Committee.
He, Forney, is no more a Democrat
Douglas man or otherwise, than John
Hickman. The only difference is, thai
Hickman has confessed his adhesion te
the Republican cause, while Forney pre-
fers the part, Of a spy in the Democratic
camp. Hickman is entitled to some re
spect for his honesty, while Forney
should be despised on all sides for his
impudent knavery. IN. Y. Herald, l6tt

Coon News FROM NORTH LOUISIANA
A friend of ours, says the Bayou Sara
Ledger, permits us to make the follow
ing extract from q letter from Mr.. VIM.
Ball. Mr.. B. is we'll known here, and
our opposition friends as we'll as others
know. that he is a man who knows what
he is talking about, and means exactly
what he says. The letter is dated
Shreveport, Caddo parish, August 9Th,
1860:
Breckenridge and Lane will sweep
North Louisiana like a tornado. We
have a large ratification meeting called
for tomorrow, at which there will be
over three thousand people, sure. 1t
will be addressed by the Elector. Mr..
Levy, Col. Wigfall, of Texas, Hon. JIM:
sandige, Gen. Phillips, of Desoto, and
many other distinguished speakers, and
will be a grand affair. We do not ex'
pect our candidates to get a great many
Votes in New Orleans, as we consider
that place half abolitionized; but we are
making arrangements to give Breckin
ridge and Lane the State by at least s1z
THOUSAND, without the aid Of New Or
leans. No Douglas men here, and but
few Belleverites. Old Caddo parish
that gave Fillmore thirty-fve majority
is good for three hundred majority fo
Breckenridge and Lane. We are doing
all we can, and if the lower parishes d.
their duty, the majority will be as larg'
as Gov. Moote's.

PENNSYLVANIA. In this State both
wings of the Democracy have united on
one electoral ticket, with the understand
ing that the name of Breckenridge or
Douglas will be put on the ticket as an
elector at large, and in the event of the
success of said ticket, if the greater
number shall have been cast for Brock
inridge, then the vote Of the State shall
be cast for Breckenridge and Lane; per
contra, for Douglas and Johnson. This
will defeat Lincoln in Pennsylvania.

HON. JoHNsM. SAED1DGE.-This gallant
gentleman and reliable Democrat author
ICES us to state in the columns of the
Register, that he has no sympathy what
ever with the Douglas party, and that
he will support the nomination of Brock
inridge and Lane.
The Douglas men have been claiming
Col. Sandidge, as they have many other
gentlemen Of equal prominence. This,
then, is only another blow upon poor Mr..
Douglas and his numerous disciples who
are playing what the boys term a "grah
game" Col. Sandidge is by far too good
Democrat to take passage on the Doug.

~, nor prohibit the introduction of slaves there
in, nor any powe to exclude slavery therefrom,
nor any right to destroy or impair the right or

THE SENATORS FROM M1ss1ss1PPI.-The
Douglas wing Of the opposition have
been industriously circulating a report
that Senators Brown and Davis, of Mis-
sissippi, are not pleased with Mr.. Brock
inridge's letter of acceptance, and will
not support him. The following note
from Mr.. Stevens, Chairman of the Ma
tional Executive Committee, to the edi-
tor Of the Washington Constitution, sets
the matter at rest:
WASHINGTON, July 20, 1860.
Ma Dear SIR: The statement of the
correspondent of the Commercial Adver-
tiser, to the effect that a m prevailed
that Gen. Davis and Gov. Brown had re-
pudiated the letter of acceptance OF Mr..
Beckinridge, given in that paper and
contained in the newspaper slip en-
closed in your note of this date. has
very much astonished me. Mr.. Davis
is very warmly enlisted in the cause,
and at the meetings of the committee
has not only been decided, but very
earnest. So far from making a two
hours speech on the subject of the let:
ters of acceptance. Of Breckinridge and
Lane, he never made a speech at all on
the subject, and only alluded to the
letters in terms of cordial appreciation
Gov. Brown left here with the ex
pressed determination to exert his ener
gies in furtherance of the election Of
Breckenridge and Lane. THIS I kmow
Yours truly, - ISAAC /. STEVENS.
