The Future of Italv.

taken place between him and Garibaldi. The
question CT the Incorporation of Venice and
Rome into the great scheme of italian unity
is postponed not abandoned Six months, in
Count Cavour's opinion, will suffice to change
entirely the circumstances which at present
prevent their absorption. We DESIRE" he
says, that the Eternal City shall become
the capital of Italy and as to Venice, when
We convince Europe that we arc capable of
delivering her unaidcd, it will no longer CON
tinue to oppose the fulilment of this great
duty" Entertaining and boldly expressing
such opinions, it is not to be wandered at that
Garbadi should forget his old resentmcnts
and suffer himself to be controlled by the
views of man whose patriotism only differs
from his in the greater caution which his
training as statesman dictates to him.
10 Europe the future of Italy is as distinct
ly mapped out in this speech of the Sardin
ian Premier rs if it were already traced by
the hand of the historian. The despots of
the continent may league together, France
may pursue selfish and grasping policy, but
they can do nothing against nation compos-
cd OF 2I,000,0O0 of as brave and intelligent
people as any under the sun, united under
constitutional institutions, and bound togeth-
er by the memory Of their long sufferings as
| well as of their ancient greatness. For the
| first time since the fall of the Roman Empire.
the Italian people find themselves again for
ming distinct nationality and owning allegi-
ancc to one Government. In endeavorinc to
keep Rome and Venice forciby separated
fror inc union of which they form necessary
parts, TIE European Governments attempt an
lmpossibiity. They neither make allowance
/ Tor the natural laws which govern such mat.
tcrS'cHr for the influence of historical associ-
aiions over the minds of newly cmanoipatcd
people Without Rome as the capital and
centre of its revived nationality, and without
Venice ms one of its vital commercial as well
as political necessities, Italy will never rest
satisfied, 1t is in vain, then, for the Euro
pcan Governments to assume that they can
defeat the natural aspirations of people to
possess the memorials after having seized up
on the substance of their former greatness.
Nor is it likely that this policy will be per
severed IN. We are of opinion, with Count
Cavour, that but short time will suffice to
convince the Continental Governments TINT
their own stability and The tranquility of Eu
rope depend upon its remuneration. Bv com.
pellng the ccssion Of Rome and Venice to the
new Italian kingdom they will put a curb ON
the future aggrcssions of France, and remove
sources of anxiety With the Eternal CITY
as its capital, and Venice as one of its great
commercial emporiums, rcgcr Grated. italy
will soon begin to exercise over the politics
and commerce of Europe, the same wide
spread influence that, under other forms. it
welded fifteen centuries back Her rcstora-
tlon to her proper rank amongst the nations of
the world will enable the European cabinets
to make such redistribution of continental
territory as will preserve for the future the
political equilibrium and maintain undisturb-
cd the public peace Let Austria be entire
" excluded from Italy and Germany, and Civ
en- as an indemnifcation Turkey in Europe-
the condition of which is adapted to her pc
culiar theories of Government. Prussia
should have the whole of Germany, as being
the most progressive of the Northern Gov
ernments, and as offering, thus circumstan-
ced, the best counterpoise to the power of
Russia. Italy, with its twenty-seven millions
OF people and its representative institutions,
would be an effectual check on the restless
ambition of France, which would thus be
compelled to keep within her natural bounda-
rics on every side. With the Congress which
will sooner or later be called upon to settle the
questions at issue between Austria and Sar-
DINA, these considerations will exercise their
proper weight. Count Cavour is wise to coun
sci patience to the Italian people. A delay
of few months will do more for the attain
mcnt of their views in regard to Rome and
Venice than all the armies they can bring into
the iield.-Ne'o York Herald.
THE INDIAN BEE-TAMER-Th Wabash
lntelligencer, tells the following of bee
tanner in that place. One of the remarkable
sights here on the Fourth, was Mr. Twining
and his queen bee. The day before, he come
into our office with an old plug hat. He had
cut two holes in it about midway to the crown
---oue in front, the other in back part. Hold
ing the hat in his hand aud it over SO as to
show that it was empty, he said, "you see
that this hat is now empty Tomorrow I in
tend to have swarm of bees at work in it
making honey and intend to wear it on my
head with the bees in it !' Sure enough, on
tho Fourth, as we were going out into the
grove, We came across Mr. Twining. He was
located under shady tree, and was exhibit
ing to an admiring crowd of men and women
his wonderful patent beehive. Or his head
was the identical hat that he had shown us
the day before. 1t was literally covered all
over With bees busy at work, going in and out
at the oriices before mentioned. All the
spare space in the hat was filed with new
comb, that had been made within twelve
hours. In his hand he held the queen bee,
which he was showing to every one that would
venture near enough to gaze on and admire
the won naerful little insect. During all this
