What will Garibaldi Dol

Ihe Italian youths are now being mus
tered upon purely volunteer principle,
under the standard Of a man who began
and viii end life as a volunteer himself;
a man who vail suffer no friendly warn
ing, no hosiil. threat, 40 consideration of
diplomatic prudence, to deter hun from
the accomplishment of his very clear, no
less than complete and generous pro-
gramIne; a man who has undertaken TO
work out the dehverance and the Union
of all Italy, and for that very decided
end he Viii avail himself of all the
means which the country may .s!ace ua-
der his orders. IL Is 10 the extremely
straightforward and ineligible character
OF the scheme proposed 10 himself by
GaFlbaldl that his popularity IS, IN
grG-s; measure, owing. The Italians
were tired OF mystic dreamers. OF imprac-
ucabIe UtoP!as, and Of plausible compro-
misses proposed by political cha rlatans--
There comes !.ow Il man with Il very
pialn formula and even that not propound-
cd IA words, tut wrought out by hard
fight. Can any man wonder If Garihal-
dis popularity ec.pses both Mazzini's
and Cayour's! Garbaldi's war CRY Is,
IA! IiaIy TO be won Toy all Italians, and,
as SAID. no call could have been ans
wered TO more readily or more uniyer-
sally. There is something really as
founding Ia all this. This unenterpris-
ing; Iucurious Italy, SO rooted to the spot,
50 welded 10 the slothtui ease aud taw-

). The Dew Drops,D

:. The Dew Drops"
One beautiful morning
Two children we're playing.
And gaiy with flowers
Themselves were arraying;
Their laugh WAS full OF childish glse.
And echo caught il merrily-
"Desr sister," cried Clara,
" Come hither and see
How brightly the Dew Drops
Shine the lea
Do tell nae where they come from, love.
And who can bring tn m from above
The other stood silent
moment twouid SEEM
Then intelligence frightened
Her eyes gentle beam
90 They're tears (she ansverd) angels shed
Because the pretty flowers lie dead"
The Music OF Nature
There's music in the sli.tening waves
That splash upon the sandy shore,
Or else in dark and rocky c.res
Like thunder
There's music in the stormy night
When old trees bending shake and tall,
And 6tfully the moons pale light
Shines upon ALL
There's music on the mountain steep.
Where dHshing torrents roll along,
FROM rock to rock tho water, leap
With ~ildes, song.
There's music in the stream that glides
Ger psbbly stones in winding ways
And ripplss gently murmring tides
Meath flowing sprays.
There's music in the whispering sound
OfIephyrs DER the noorlsxd ding
There's music all the earth around
In every thing.

New Paper.
By the Usage Lo,can, we learn that Mr..
Owen, of St. Ansgar, has purchased that
Office and will move it in few weeks to the
last named place, where new, Ldepend-
ont paper will be published under the edito-
rial charge Of LINUS S. EVERETT, Esq, late
of the Post Office department.
It is matter of regret to all interested
in Northern Iowa to see newspaper dry
up for want Of sustcnancc, and viewed in
this light, il is a pity that Usage could not
keep the Ioacan in running tune, but on
the other hand, we hope and believe that
Mitchell County will not lose by the change;
her engine of development (if press may
be so named) will only be transferred to
another point on her map. St. Ansgar is
beautifully located town, her tributary
country is extensive and unrivalled; the
improvement of her water power is going
forward in the shape of mills and other
machinery, and now she is to have the aid
of one Of the ablest pens in tho Union in
the conduct Of newspaper. Mr.. Everett
was the founder of the Chicago Herald, for
many years the editor of the leading Agri.
cultural paper Of Ohio, and for most of his
life has been connected with the press. We
regard his accession to the corps editorial
of North Iowa as promising great benefit
to this portion of the State.

JOINT NEGLECT THIS WARMING!
A Ukase.

A Uksse.
1t is rumored that Seward has advised
the Charleston Mercury that in case Mr..
Lincoln is elected he will Immediately issue
Proclamation to the country defining his
position and allaying if possible any appre-
hension of sectional administration of the
Federal Government. The N. Y. Times ap-
proves the policy but we notice few radi-
cal Republican journals that pitch in to the
plan with great rampancy. These latter
fellows talk about ''forcing the South" but
they only betray ignorance of American
character either north or south when such
cowardly clustering is INDUCED in. But
without speaking Of the right or the wrong
of it isn't remarkable confession OF the
dread which even Republicans have of Re.
volution and Dismemberment when the
Presidential Candidate contemplates a sort
of Mexican Pronunciamento embodying a
policy necessarily in opposition to the radi-
calisn Of his supporters? IT'S the fear of
this radicalism which cxcites alarm disa-
vowal Of the views which may carry hin,
into power is the only hope Mr.. Lincoln can
have of restoring confidence!

Horper,s Ferry outrage Celebration.

The 18th of October was celebrated in Boston by
the Wide Awakes that day being the anniversary of
the surrender Of the Arsenal Mt llarpers Ferry to
John Brown. Some of the Republican papers feeling
ashamed Of this conduct fearing the effect it might
probably have are endeavoring to do away with the
impression that the celebration had any reference to
John Browns raid.
The posters distributed through the neignborng
towns, are conclusive evidence of the character the
demonstration. The following is a copy Of one OF
them
"Firt anniversary of the capture of TTarpers Ferry
The friends OF impartial liberty in Waterfowl, are
requested to meet in the Public Square on Tuesday
evening, Oct 10, to go in orchlight procession to
Boston, and take part in the grand denomination
commemorative of the surrender of Harpers Ferry
The occasion will keep you wide awake"
Conservative men," as many of our
Republican acquaintance call themselves,
can easily see the road their most active re-
cruits are taking. When the storm OF Ter
&orism sweeps over these now peaceful
States we do not expect to hear Lincoln
men say they meant to do nothing to the
injury Of the country or either section of
its people. Men who deliberately and
thoughtfully follow along the path that
leads to national precipice, guided and
instructed by those who are instigated by
hate alone, and who justify robbery, arson
and murder, cannot plead ignorance when
the work Of political incendaries shall have
developed itself We scarcely know Re-
publican whom we would offend by telling
him that he meant to injure his country,
but we are positively certain that those who
60 the farthest in their wild and reckless
cursing Of tho inhabitants of the southern
states, are the most influential leaders the
party has got. The more bitter the orator
the greater his audience and the higher the
position assigned him

A WoNDER.-In company with Mr.. Par
ish we called few moments on Monday to
look at boat-car or car-boat now being
constructed at Pr du Chen, by James In.
gcrsoll, of Grafton Ohio, the father Of II.
j. lngersoll- The car is to be propelled
on The endless chain principle and is one of
the great curiosities we ever saw As a
land traveller it actually carries its own
track and ties! We. have no space to des-
cribe it now but Mr.. Ingersoll is intending
to set it in motion for public criticism in a
day or two and then all can see it. If the
plan succeeds, the most astonishing revolu-
tons will take place in land and water nav
igation.

The Dedication.

The Dedication.
On Sabbath last, the Brick Congregation
al Church was dedicated to the worship of
God. The Bell was hung the day before,
and for the first time in McGregor the peo-
pie were called to church by this music
We hope to hear the ring of a dozen church
bells at once in the course of few years,
but we also hope that no such kettle-sound
ing affair as the present one will find its
way into another McGregor bclfry. Let
this be taken down and new one purchased.
Rev. Mr.. Gurnsey, Of Dubuque, preach
ed very able sermon to crowded audi
ence composed Of the leading business and
professional families of the city. The in
terror of the church is neatly finished and
| furnished. Rev. Mr.. Macarthur, now Of
Shopierc, Wis, and the Rev. Mr.. Mathews,
of Garnavillo, assisted in the services.
On Monday evening the slips of the
church were rented at auction for one year.
The highest price paid was $50; Chas. SAT-
ford and VIM. II. Rhodes, Esqs., were the
competitors for the preferred slip or pew
the latter gentleman was the victor. Tn:
pews were all sold but three or four. The
amount realized is over $1,000; an average
| of about SIT dollars pew.

OBLIGED.-Some kind friends favored
our home castle and it's inmates with SER
enade in the ''silent watches" Of last Mon
day night. Our excessive drowsiness, 1--WE
are not "Wide- Awake, " caused doubtless
by the superior, undisturbing harmony Of
the strains, prevented our hearing the mu-
SIC, and we know of it only from report of
one of the family. We regret our dizziness
the more because we are unable to guess to
whom we are indebted for this pleasing
visit
