ourlbaIdi,s battalion Of children,


The special correspondent In Italy Of the
London Daily News went to Scandiano 70 see
battalion Of 400 children, quartered in the
old castle He says: "Pho hrst idea Of re-
cruitng this legion of children belongs to Gen
Gnribaldi. When engaged in the South Amer
lean wars, and ia the defence of Rome in lsd9,
! this gallant leader had noticed that boys be-
tween the ages Of i3 and IS years had proved
useful in the daring military operation he was
called to accomplish. At the beginning Of the
late campaign, having found that the Lombard
cities through which he marched his triumphant
LEMONS had given their contingent Of young
soldiers, be at once made up his mind to have
a battalion of adOlescenti' organized. An in
telligent young officer, whom no had known
during the Roman campaign of ls49, being
near at hand, he intrusted him with the tOTma-
ton of the legion. which at the beginning did
NOT number more than l5O. Austrian perso'
cutiops and patriotism soOa increased the num-
ber of the 'adolescenti,' so that tho battalion
has now completed It's numerical strength
These little soldiers are dressed in q dark greer
tnnic, with red cuffs with q white edge, ant
dark green trousers. On my arrival here this
morning from Reggie happened to see then
while manoeuvering on the parade ground op
posite to the CASTLE / was really at the same
time astonished and amused to see how perfect
and orderly their movements were. They weni
through all sorts Of military evolutions with
such steadiness and precision as could scarcely
have been surpassed by grown up soldiers after
many months of training and drilling. Then
commanding officer, Count John Arrivabene, il
a Young uobleman of three and twenty. He

since 1921, has contributed great many sol
diers to the cause of national independence
Although really believed that this battalion
of boys will do good service should it be called
10 fight against the enemies of Italian Inde'
pendence, to chief importance is Of q mora
kind, and is such as will be easily understood
10y all sensible men IN Europe. This gathering
oftho representatives of the rising generation
around the flag Of their country should be takeI
as warning to Europe that there cannot b.
any compromis e, any temporary solution, o
a question which has taken such hold not only
of all classes but all ages"

Treason Acted
II has been Justly remarked that John Brown
was hung (and, We viii add, rightly hung) for
a crime which Gov Wise was the frstto counsel
IN 1856 in the event Of mere partizaB triumph,
and which Gov. Wise's especial friends in the
South everywhere avOw their intention to com
init next year, if the result of the election
shall TAIL to be in accordance with their wishes.
THAT ia the Captnir's but q choierc word
Which Ia the soldier is nat blasphemy"
That seizure of Harper's Ferry arsenal. which
in John Brown was uHquestionaby treason, is
in Gov. Wise noble and gallant patriotism =
SO say his Democratic cndOrsers. So echoes
the Democratic press throughout the south.-
To-day, they lavish, in the same breath curses
upon the old man who died because he made
the attempt, end fulsOme eulogy upon the Gov
ernor who threatens to DO the same thing him

ment
The Democracy of Berkeley county, Virginia,
have hell a meeting. Mr., Charles J. Faulkner,
ex memberOf Congress, presided, and in an able,
conservative, and national speech, thus showed
the policy which Gov Wise laid down in 1856
When that noble and gallant son of Virgin
ia, Henry A. Wise, declared, as was said he did
in October, 1856, that if Fremont was elected,
HE WOULD sEIzE THE NATIONAL ARSENAL AT
HARPER's FERRY, how few would at that time
have justified so bold and decided a measured
1t is the fortune of some great and gifted minds
to see far in advance Of their contemporaries

where is the man now in our midst who would
not call for the impeachment OF Governor of
Virgidia who would silently suffer that armory
to pass under the control Of such an Executive
headp
We would on no account excuse or palliate the
insane treason of old Brown and his wretched
followers, but we decidedly object to culogiz>
ing others for the avOwRl Of determination
to accomplish for the mere qualification of po-
litical ambition OF resentment what q crazy or
foolish old man and his crazy or foolish follow
er may probably have imagined themselves to
be undertaking for the service of God and man

should be hung as high at least as they were, il
will be right, if ever Coz. Wise and his fire.

SWINDLINa THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY
CoMPANY-We have from the Rochester URion,
the particulars of series of fsWindIing operations
by which the great Western Railway Company
have suffered large Pecuniary loss. The Off
GERS of the Company have been engaged for
some time past in trying to discover the authors
Of the swindles. The Company sell coupon
tickets through agents In all Western cities.
These tickets are furnished the agents, and are
numbered and charged to them.-When the
the tickets are sold, the agents make returns
to the general agency. and the tickets they have
sold, when taken up from passengers, are return
ed also, punched or cancelled by the Conduc-
tors. Some eight hundred tickets, valued at
$4,000 every time they are used, were missed
that is, they did not come up from the Conduc-
tors after the local agents had made returns up
on them This fact excited suspicion and led
TO an investigation. The fraud was traced to
employees of the Company Conductors being
the chief men in the matter. These Conduc-
tors had an understanding with certain Cheek
men who travel on the New York Central road
from Rochester to Suspension Bridge, that they
should sell tickets from the Bridge to this city
to such passengers as they might find in the cars
who wanted them.
The Union believed that these Checkmen
were authorized by the Company to sell tickets,
but they did not always sell the ones they re.
ceive1 from the office. They received tickets
from the Conductors which they took of passen-
gers, and did not cancel by the Punch,-and res
sold them, at regular rates, for to have Teduc-
ed the price would have excited suspicion.
| The officers of the road are in ignorance as to
what Conductors have defrauded them. It is
said that they passed the tickets over to the
Bridge Conductor, anil that he in turTgave them
to the Checzmen TO sell. He has been discharg-
I ed, but does not divulee any names, and two Of
| the Checkmen have been suspended.
Passengers do not suffer by this fraud, as the
tickets are good until cancelled; but how much
has been realized to the perpetrators, it is i'm,
possible to tell, as they may have sold each tick
| ct a number Of times.

Heroic Flight and Escape.

The London Jewish Chronicle relates the fol-
lowing:
san occurrence lately 'Ook place at atMyslovicz,
frontier town Of Prussian Poland, which
strongly reminds US both of the scene enacted
at Bologna eighteen months ago by the Papal
agents, aud the stirring incioent narrated in
Uncle Toms Cabin, when 8 female slave,
pursued by her taskmaster, in order that her
child should not be snatched from, her, crossed
a river on the floating ice. The heroine in this
case was a Jewess, who having become the
mother Of an ilegitimate child by Christian,
had the boy circumscised and resolved to bring
him up in her religion. Suddenly the police
appeared 10 take it from her by force, in order
TO bring it up in the Christian religion. A
most exciting scene now ensued. The despair
ING mother, her infant in her arms, fed, but was
hotly pursued by the police, like a hare chased
By a number of dogs. On, on she sped towards
the Russian frontier, but her pursuers constants
" gained upon her. She had just reached the
brink of the river that forms the boundary be-
tween The two countries. No friendly bridge
spanned the stream; no boat pulled from the
shore. The fate of the child seemed unavoida-
bic. the police had all but laid hands on her
But no. her infant was not to be snatched from
her, With the courage of despair she plunged
into the flood, and, holding with one hand the
child aloit, she swan across the river and safely
reached the opposite bank, where her Pursuera
dared not follow her.

Another Dead Sea,

A writer in the Union [Cal.l Democrat gives
a very interesting description of Mono Lake
which has recently engrOssed public attention,
from the fact of the discovery of deposits OF
gold in the neighborhood. BE says:
Mono Lake is more literally dead sea than
the sea OF SOdom According to DR.. Clarke,
that sea swans with fishes, and shells abound
on its shores Mono Lake has neither. The
extreme length and breadth of the Dead Sea,
according to Merritt, are rs by IS miles, giving
Q superficial sera of 500 square miles. Where
as, Mono Lake contains 675 square miles. The
river Jordon and Arnon, and the brook Kedron,
besides many riVulets, empty into the Dead
Sea- Into Mono Lake, MeLsne's river falls
from the north, and CrOsby's river from the
south, and three large brooks or creeks fall into
it from the west, besides numerous Tivulets and
springs all around it's borders But this lake
not only responds TO the Greek epithst monOs'
as being alone solitary, deserted, forsaken, bat
also answers to the same adjective as eIN
planned in the Spanish a. being pretty, nice,
neat
The lake takes as many shapes as the points
differ from which you view it. From the west
side, about ten miles from its northern limit, it
appears like a beautiful crescent, its horns
cuIving deicately around you on the night and
left From the north it appears to be nearly
circular, like the full moon, the islands in its
waters strikingly representing the clouded spots
on that planet From the east it appears to
have no particular shape, but it stretches of
irregulaTly among the mountains.
There is little or no echo around this lake.
and indeed it is difficult to understand person
taking at little distauce. A dreamy, spell
like spirit seems to pervade the atmosphere
The smooth, CLASSY surface of the waters; the
upheaved, disrupted, volcanic mountains sur
rounding the lake, looking down, as it were,
into this abyss of their election; the allusiOn Of
vision, and the whitened shores, thickly col.
umned inmany places with vascular lava, which
locks like mountains erected TO the mighty
dead;' ali conspire to impress the mind with
the idea of fictitious scene. portrayed by the
pencil of an omnipotent hand.

~ The Kentucky Legislature has been dis
cussing the morality Of billiards. One party
was in favor Of taxing each table at $500. An
other that the game should not be taxed at all.
The result of the whole matter was fixing the
license Of billiard tables at $3.50 for the first
table, and 500 for each other. This will be the
law, and your friends, the keepers of saloons,
can take the cue from this action.
We would suggest to that Legislature the
propuety of ofdiscussing the morality Ofths system
Ofamalgamation tsmalgamAtiOn unIanctifed by
msrriage) that exists in that very moral
State. We think fine and imprisonment fOr
each and every offence would have tendency
to stop the whitening Of the African race, and
in its stead whiten the character Of her people.
