The Departure from Palermo -GaribnIdi's 4
SOldler.lite Qualities.

Garibaldi, who knows no rest himself.
urged the speedy departure, his idea being
that the soldier wants but little, if he is PEN
etrated by good spirit; he is impatient with
those who speak of impossibilities. Besides
being anxious not to lose time, according to
his idea, the important thing was to make q
beginning. Start with what ever you can
get together, and then provide for the rest on
the way. This is his maxim, in which he
was strengthened by the consideration that
it was necessary to win the soldiers from the
otid of Palermo. ... ....
He could not have pitched ou better man
to second his views than General Turr, who
was charged with the formation of the first
division and the command of the middle
column. In spite Of all obstacles, the want
of men cognizant of the organization OF
troops, the difficulty of SOLDERING down the
noisy enthusiasm Of Sicilians sufficiently t.
| make them enlist as volunteers, and the pow
erty of Palermo in all articles required for
soldiers were all overcome, and, in less than
q fortnight, the column departed from Pal
ermo.
If one of the routine soldiers had seen the
column start he would have prognosticated
dissolution in few days, and utter inability

The Gnribsldi Revolution in Sicily-Ad-

A Palermo letter of the oath nlt saws:

The Gnribaldi Revolution in SictIy-Ad-
ministrative Measures of the Dictator.
A Palermo letter of the gath ult says.
The plan offered by Garibaldi, of melting
down the church bells to make cannon, con-
tinues in active operation. Every one of the
churches is to supply at least one bell, aud
these edifices in Palermo are very numerous.
|, this morning, saw twenty-five or thirty of
these bells lying in the courtyard of the
University, which serves as q barracks, and
also seven pieces of cannon and large pile
of balls. A decree has been published ad-
hitting arms of all kinds free Of duty Money
is very scarce, and the light coins which had
been removed from circulation some months
ago have again become current. Addresses
from the different cOmmunes of the island
where revolutionary committees have been
formed, come in every day; but, up to the
present time, more words than money have
been given.
Palermo alone makes donations toward
carrying on the war; what has been sent from
the interior does not amount to much. APP
peals are not, however, wanting to excite the
generosity of the Sicilians. A proclamation
was recently posted up on the walls of Pa
lermo, announcing that priest in some part
of the island had generously given mule for
the service of the country. In many parts
the most complete anarchy prevails, and the
musket has become the only law. The Die
tatOr has published a decree ordering the
preparation of the electoral list, and when u
decision on the annexation will be come to

HIPPO HYDRoPH oBIA-A MAN BITTEN BY
MAD HoRsE.-A valuable mare, in Newark,
N. j., became unusually violent on Thurs
day evening, while in the stable tearing the
manger with her teeth, breaking the halter
and performing series of wonderful gym
nastic teats. Unmistakable signs of hydro
phobia were exhibited by the animal in the
glistening eyes, enlarged nostrils, foamingat
the mouth, heavy breathing, and a tendency
to snap at every thing that came in her way.
Mr.. Vreeland, while in the act of admins
tering medicine to her, was bitten upon the
arm by the enraged animal. Continuing TO
grow still more violent, Mr.. V. deemed it
necessary to dispatch the animal before any
further injury was done, but he had "first to
catch her" After some time the animal
leaped in among some carriages under shed
adjoining the stables, and became wedged in,
affording good opportunity for striking her
in the head with an AK, which was promptly
done, and she died in few minutes in great
agony. The wound upon Mr.. Vreeland's S arm,
caused by the bite, though not extensive, at
first created apprehensions as to a fatal result,
but his physician pronounces him out of dan

a MAGNILooUENT DARKIE.--A negro, some
where in the State of Massachusetts, made a
speech on the Fourth of July, in which he
rebuked those friends of the Africans who as
sert the equality of the races. He scorned to
be placed upon the same footing with white
men, and proclaimed the superiority of the
negro. He declared that he is proud of the
negro race" and thanked God to-day there
does not course in my (his) veins a single
story, at a time when the Saxon was wear
ing an iron collar, with the name of his mas
ter written thereon"

Southern ire-eater, and we have little doubt
he owes his birth to that home of comical
rhodomontade, sometimes mentioned as South

Civil Suit Against Ossawotomie Brown-A
Most Extraordinary Case Of Utilization.
The Rome New York; Sentinel of late date
observes: .....
II is not with the criminal records alone
that John Browns name is familiar; upon the
civil calender his name figured years ago,
and the suit in which he was embroiied
promises to live many years to come. Some
of the incidents connected with this case may
be of interest to our readers especially those
in Vernon, who knew John Brown WE'LL we
therefore relate them. f 'a"
Mr.. Perkins, Of Ohio, was wealthy person.
some eight or ten years ago said to be worth
81, 100000. He entered into a partnership
with John Brown and established COM
mission house in Springfield, Massachusetts,
for the purchase and sale of wool on commits
sion-the firm advancing one-half or two
thirds Of the supposed value of the wool taken
in by them to be sold. A Mr.. Warren, Of Pitts
field, Saratoga County, in this State, let Per-
kins Brown have large quantity of wool,
upon which P. & B. made advances; the price
Of wool soon went down, and p. & b. claimed
they had advanced to Mr.. W. some So, 900 more
than the value of the wool they had of him;
they brought suit against Mr.. Warren for the
alleged advanced; Mr.. W. set up f r the an
swer that he sold the wool outright to plain
tifs and that it was not a sale on commits
sion. Inc sui was commenced In lo0U, Dy
j. Whipple Jenkins, then Of Vernon, as at
torney for Perkins h Brown; Timothy Jen-
kins was the COUNSEL the case was referred
to Judge Dean; the trial of the case occupied
thirty-seven days; the referee reported in
favor of the plaintiff, from which the de-
fendant appealed. .I
During the pendency of this appeal, and
which has not yet been argued, Perkins had
failed, and his assignee was substituted in
his stead j. W. Jenkins died, and Ralph
Mcintosh, of Vernon, is substituted as at
torney. John Brown is dead, and another
| party is substituted in his stead; the de-
fendant, Warren, is dead, and other party is
substituted in his place; Timothy Jenkins,
the counsel, is dead, aHd Porter and Cagger,
Of Albany, are substituted as counsel in his
stead. The cost thus far is over So, 200, and
it is said that defendants estate, once worth
some $4,000, is worthless, and that the bail
which the law practice required him to give,
| is supposed to have become worthless also.
On the whole the case is one of the most pro-
| tracted and most curious that has been before
the courts in a long time. . a....5H.

GaribaIdrs Dimculties and Obstacles in
Sicily.

Garibaldrs Difficulties and Obstacles In
Sicily.
The correspondent of the Morning Post,
writing from Palermo, on the 9th ult., says:
An event happened to-day which has not
a little tended 20 increase the vexation felt
by Garibaldi respecting the proceedings of
the Palermitans, Having been informed that
they were organizing demonstration against
the Ministry, which he had formed soon after
his arrival--a demonstration which was to
be chiefly directed against Crispi, the Chief
Secretary of State, be sent by the individuals
who were preparing this movement, and re-
quested them not to make the demonstration,
rs that node of expressing political views
was disagreeable to him, and especially any
insult TO Crispi, who had accompanied him
from the very commencement of the expedi-
tion, and who possessed his entire confidence
the demonstration, nevertheless took place,
and the loudest aud most frequent cries were
those of 'Down with Crispi" Afterward a
commission presented to Garibaldi list of
the persons who should for theme Ministry,
and Crispis name was put at the head of the
list.
Garibaldi, as you may easily suppose, re-
ceived the address of the commission as a
mere mockery and derision, and referring to
their having placed at the head of the list the
name of the very man against whom they
had been shouting all the morning, replied:
mo; Crispi likewise shall retire from the
Cabinet" and, in fact, he obliged him to give
in his resignation, though retaining him in a
private capacity near his own person. What
the new Ministry will be or what IT will do,
am unable to tell, but if it finds the same
difficulty is satisfying the Sicilians as the
Cabinet just dissolved, like fate may be
| speedily predicted.
The Sicilians, unfortunately, display 9
much greater ability in criticising the acts oi
others than in acting themselves. What has
been the real cause Of their dislike to the late
Cabinet2 Nothing more than this-that q
great mass object to serve in the army, and
that those who are willing to serve are more
anxious for epaulettes than for real service
1t has been impossible, up to the present mo-
ment, to organize the National Guard, be.
cause the General would only receive hii
orders from the General Commanding il
Chief-namely, from Garibaldi himself-anC
not from the Minister of the Interior, as il
customary with National Guard in al
countries; and this for no reason except tina
the Minister Of the Interior was Sicilian.

Thrilling sketch of n Female Rope Walk
er-NarrOw Escape of an Intrepid WO-
man from n shocking Death.
The following thrilling sketch is from the
recently published photographed Teminis-
cences of Leslie, the artist:
took little Harriet and Caroline, with
Rebecca and William Clark, to the gardens of
the Eyre Arms Hotel, where there was an
exhibition of fireworks, &c. woman was
to ascend n rope across the gardens, three
hundred feet in length and sixty from the
ground at its greatest hight. She pro-
ceeded slowly, in consequence, as afterward
ascertained, of the rope not being sufficiently
tight and when she was within o short dis
tance OF the end she stopped being unable
either TO advance or 90 back. The ascent
had become so steep from the slackness of
of the rope that she could not proceed step
higher neither could she stoop to take hold
of it without throwing away the balance
pole, and had she done that she must have
fallen. For some minutes she continued
stationary, her husband calling to her from
below to go back. was too far off to hear
her reply; but il was evident she could not
venture to turn round. Her situation became
every Instant more perilous; and was about
to leave the garden, fearing she would lose
her presence of mind, and dreading to sec
her fall, and that my little girls should wit
ness so horrid a sight.
| should mention that, MS it was quite dark,
she was only made visible by fireworks ex-
ploding around and below her. The top of q
ladder now rose from the midst of the crowd,
| but when perpendicular it was not long
enough to reach her feet, and there was an
other moment or two of suspense, with cries
| and screams from the crowd. A table was
then brought from the innyand kept in per-
pendicular position by two men at the foot,
while another ascende1. There were loud

above the rope, and he could use but one arm
in saving her, as with the other he had to keen

II seemed, therefore, scarcely possible that
he could help her. After few moments
consultation, lie called to the crowd to stand
