Garibaldi,
The Steele has the following observations
on GARIBALD1's extraordinary career within
the last few months:

The Steele has the following observations
on GAR1BALD1's extraordinary career within
the last few months:
A man, accompanied by few volunteers,
sails from the environs of Genoa 10 the NIGHT
of the 9th of May, on board of vessel
which is not even his own property. He
goes to liberate several millions of oppressed
people, and to overthrow a powerful mon
archy he is stigmatized as brigand, and
all the penalties inflicted on pirates are in
voked on bis devoted head the cry is raised
that both he and his followers might be
hanged from the yard arm of their vessel.
On the 9TH of September, this man has al.
most accomplished the task he has under.
taken the monarchy be assailed is de fdcto
overthrown. A nation is delivered. Now
which are the wise counselors? Those who
advise sOvereigns to make concessions to the
spirit of the age, or the fatterers who
promise them protected reign if they will
but resist all progress? The answer is easy
now. The King of Naples is fugitive.
Another dynasty has fallen, though sur.
rounded by soldiers, and well provided with
cannon and gold another hope of the coun-
ter revolutionist has fallen away. But the
men bent on the ruin of princes still persist
in giving the same pernicious counsels.-
"The King of Naples has fallen" say they.
but General de Lamoriciere still remains
he will fight, he will; he is ready, and the
revolution will be overcome" Wretched
councillors They are not yet satisfied with
their work they want more catastrophies.
Nevertheless, how easy the dynasty of Ma
piles might have escaped destruction! Warn.
ings were not wanting. Four years ago,
during the Conferences of Paris, did not
Europe, by the voice of her diplomatis.s,
unanimously declare to the King of Naples
that be was counting destruction by his bad
government, that be was gathering around
him all the elements of revolution? Was
he not in manner implored to adopt diff
ferent policy? Was be not daily informed
of the abyss that lay before him?
The general success of the Italian leader
is thus sumed up Five marvellous stages
-Marsala, Palermo, Milazzo, Reggie and
Naples performed in the short space of
three months, have been all that Garibaldi
required, supported as he is by the national
sentiment, to overthrow monarchy deemed
immovable; which, not yet four years since,
de6ed France and England; which in the
face of the naval preparations of the two
greatest Powers in the world, had deter.
mined to persevere in its resistance.

steward, we find Sam again at hotel in
Victoria, having under his charge the din
ing department at salary of $40 per
month. Here he remained five weeks, when
he left Victoria for San Francisco, working
his passage, and landed there in July last
with only few dollars in bis pockets
About this time the discovero of rich sill
yer mines at Washoe was creating much ex.
citement, and Sam was among the first to
bend his steps towards the Carson Valley.
He managed to reach Placerville but there
his friends fell short and be was obliged to
accept situation in a wholesale liquor
store to replenish his pocket. In little
while he formed the acquaintance of a man
named Briggs. The two entered into part.
nership, and on the 18th of November 1859,
started for Carson, or Washoe. After in

Of over one hundred miles, carrying their
grub and blankets on their backs.
The winter of 1859-6O was spent in max
ing shingles, clap-boards, &C., at Washoe.
These Sam and his partner sold at good
price, for in March last they bought 800
acres of land, with good cabin on it, for
the sum of $50. 1t turned out subsequently
that this claim had been jumped, and the
sequel of the affair was shooting scrape, in
which all the parties interested were wound
ed, but none killed. The telegraph some
time since reported that Sam was dead, but
we have evidence before US that he "still
lives" to fight another day, where contesting

which the original claimant had no right
whatever. We close, by saying that Sans
luck has turned. He writes us that be now

Washoe, all of which are rich in this pre-.
cious ore, and that next summer be will
visit st. Paul. He speaks highly of the
Washoe country, and says that new discov-
cries of silver and gold are being made al
most daily. He is making preparation for
mining on an extensive scale; is in good
health, high spirits, and the possessor of ia
large fortune. His lucky star is in the
ascendent.

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES FOR SEPTEM Der
lS60.-The month commenced with warm
weather, the thermometer, reaching 79' on
the 9Th. This was followed, however by
successive spells of cold and cloudy weather,
which reduced the mean temperature nearly
80 below that of the corresponding month
in 1859. The frosts, though severe, en- the
Goth and 18th failed to kill the tomato
vines in many localities even where ice was
found in their neighborhood. This fact
tends to fortify theory of the writer, that
in Minnesota much harder frost is required
to kill vegetation than in the eastern and
middle states.

The Union Meeting Laat Night-New
York for the Union and the Constitu-

Never before has New York poured out her
tens Of thousands as she did Last evening, at
the call OF patriotism, to ratify the union of all
the conservative elements for the sake Of the
Union.
The crisis Is a great one, the interests at
stake are the highest that q nation Of freemen
were ever called upon TO sustain, and the voice
which New York, the material and intellectual
centre of the con!ederacy, last night sen, forth
TO all the sister States, in behalf OF the frater.
nifty ard equality Of all, will find heartfelt
echo In every one Of them. II Is not merely
commercial question that Is now submitted to
the people. II h not m abstract question a. to
the founding Of new empires II Is not a strug-
gle Of freemen to recover rights usurped. II
Is far greater than either Of these, for 1t
Is the question whether a nation Of freemen,
fully endowed with the right Of selfgovern-
ment, can and will exercise that right in spi-
ri Of justice and equity, or whether, In the
pride Of opinion, they will follow the example
Of the inquisitors that once desoIated the fair
est countries Of Europe Of the Puritans who
drove the protesting Quakers from the bleak
hospitality of Massachusetts, bay, and say to
their non conforming brethren OF the South in
social policy, think and act as do, or your
fields shall be given over to scrviie war; your
homes 70 the flames and your necks to the
bloody sword. II is the great question whether
freemen can exercise the right OF self govern
mens without playing the tyrant, and In is so
luton stands the very existence Of free insti-
,utions
II the sen,ims nj Of justice and Of respect for
the rights OF States which are our peers In all
things does not prevail in The present political
contest, deadly blow win be struck At
the theory Of sclf-governmen, by those
who claim 10 be its most devoted sup
porters Representative institutions will
have lost the vitality that we claim for
them, By demonstrating the sad truth that
fanatic majorities need powerful hand to con-
troll them, and weak minoriiies one TO protect
their rights. II we today strike blow at the
rights Of the Southern States, because We be.
lieve to be moral aud social evil what they
sustain az the scheme Of society best adapted
