A NATIONAL PICTURE DAMAGED. -
While the workmen employed on the
repairs of the National Capitol, at
Washington, D. c., were hosting
one of the main joists, last Saturday,
it slipped and fell, the end striking

The AMERICANS IN GARIBALDI's
ARMY. We recently announced that
amongst the volunteers who went out
from England to join Garibaldi was
our countryman General Wheat. Tn
letter from Gen. Avezzana to a
friend in this city, dated Maildaloni,
Oct. l6, we find mention of four other
Americans as being attached so his
General Avezzana's) staff-namely,
Charles Carroll Hicks, of Columbus,
Ohio; Frank Nancy, Of Nashvill, Ten. !;
Henry n Spencer, Jr., of Pennsylva-
MIA, and Alfred Van Benthuy sen, of
New Orleans, Louisiana. They all
had the good fortune to be pres
ent at the battle of Caserta, and the
General speaks of their conduct in the
highest terms. He says that not only
did they distinguish themselvet by
their cooiness and galentry on shat
occasion, but that their department,
both on and off duty, exercises the
most beneficial influence on the other
officers of the division, which is neces-
sarily made up of heterogeneous ele-
ments. They are quiet, gentleman
like and forbearing in their manners,
but always ready to volunteer for po-
tions of danger. This is the charac-
ter of the true soldier, and it is graft
flying that we should have such testi-
mony borne Of the conduct of our
countrymen by foreigner like Gene
eral Avezzana, who has himself estab-
lished SO high reputation for soldier
ly qualities.
In addition to the above mentioned
gentlemen, two young American sur
geons, who had been studying in Paris,
have joined Garibaldi's army. In this
speciality assistance is much required,
and no better field can certainly pre-
sent itself for the requirement Of ex-
perience in surgical practice. -Neac

AN ATTEMPT TO KIDNAp.-On
Thursday last, Doctor Andrews and
a young man claiming to be his son,
attempted to kidnap boy at Oxford
School House, which the Doctor
claimed as his son. They visited the
School House, seized the child, and
placed it in wagon, but its loud
cries forced them to release it. War
rents were issued by Justice Boyd for
their arrest, but the Doctor, hearing
that officers were in pursuit of of him,
made good his escape into Pennsylva-
MIA, but the young man was arrested,
and lodged in Jail. In the evening he
had hearing before Justice Boyd and
was fully committed to await the action
Of the Grand Jury in December. On
Monday some of his friends visited
this place, and succeeded in having
him released on bail
The Doctor is an old william, who
visited this place some ten years ago,
and succeeded in inducing a respecta-
BILE young lady to olope with and mar
ry him, in hope Of getting her money.
Failing in this, he deserted her and
went to Newark, N. j., and there
married another woman, was arrested
for bigamy, tried and convicted and
sent to the State Prison. On his trial
it proved that he then had three other
wives living His desire to get pos
session of the child, was, doubtless, to
enable him to extort money from its
relatives, in order to regain possession
of it. His son, who was an accom-
plice, in this business, is no doubt as
great william as the old man, should
be dealt with accordingly, Belvsdere

"TAR ON DE HEEL THE Cleve-
land Plaindealer, on the authority of
a Southern friend, tells us how the
saying, Dar's niger got tar on
his heel, is used among the slaves on
the plantation He recently visited a
plantation near Memphis, Tennessee,
and at night when the darkeys' work
was done, they assembled to pitch
coppers. The cents began to dissap-
per in a very mysterious manner. The
most rigid examinations revealed no
clue to them. The coppers dwindled
fearfully, when a light broke upon one
of the darkeys, and he yelled, "Dar's
a niger got tar oh his heel p Great
confusion followed the announcement,
and the darkeys commenced seating
each other violently on the ground.
At one time twenty darkeys were
oOdt0u vi Clio SlOuiu, WIliC twenty
more had their legs in the air looking
! at their heels
The miscreant was at last discover
ed. The black wretch who sought to
bring time honored me into disre-
pute was at last discovered. An ole
negro, who was too late to indulge in
games, and who had before been (like
Caesars wife) above suspicion, had
covered his heels with tar. Under the
pretencc of seeing fair play, this elder
ly colored person had made himself
conspicuous among the players, vol
unteering himself as judge on all dis
puted points, and all the while the sly
old coon was treading on the coppers.
They stuck, of course, and when his
heels were turned, they revealed 6"
