MISCELLANEOUS.

The Great Battle In Southern Europe.
When Garibaldi entered Naples, the
King did not flee the country, but retired
to the city of Cdpua, some twenty miles
from Naples, where his army, 40, 900 strong,
was intrenched in an almost impregnable
position. Of course there could be no per-
manent peace in Naples until the King
leaves the country and his army subdued
or broken up. It appears that Garibaldi
has been concentrating his forces around
Capua. Several slight skirmishes have &C.
CURED, but nothing until the first of Octo-
Der, when the Neapolitan army, 10000
strong, made an attack on Garibaldi's
troops. The attack was so sudden and ur-
expected, that the Garibaldians yielded to
the shock, and would have been defeated
had not Garibaldi, revolver in hand, rushed
forward and encouraged his fainting men.
The battle was then renewed and the Ga
ribaldians finally gained great victory but
Garibaldi's losses have been so severe that
he has called upon Victor Emanuel to come
to Naples Immediately at the head of d.
vision of the Sandman army. The King of
Naples and his brother were present at the
battle. The Garibaldians had only Is 900
troops to meet the 10000 Neapolitans.
The armed Intervention of the King of
Sardinia will render Austria exceedingly
sore, for heretofore Victor Emanuel has kept
himself clear of direct interference in Ma
pies. One more battle will decide the fate
Of the King of Naples. Capua must be
taken-before the struggle can be consider
ed terminated. With the assistance of the
brave army Of Sardinia, there seems little
doubt of the result.
Recent events have shown that the al
lodged misunderstanding between Victor
Emanuel and Garibaldi is a hoax. They
are necessary to each other and to the cause
of Italian unity and independence, and
what is more, they knou it. By acting in
concert the brave King and great Common
er can WELD the whole power of Italy for
the regeneration of their country, and we
trust that harmony may continue, as Italy
is now undergoing great revolution, yea,
we may say greater, than the change in the
American Colonies, when they threw off the
British yoke. She will obtain not merely
political liberty, but that religious liberty
which more truly exists in Sardinia than in
any other country in Catholic Europe.

rH1Rry-s1xUH CONGRESS.

MARCH 26.-The Senate struck out of the
Consular Appropriation Bill. the $4,000 for a
Minister to Paraguay. Mr.. Blake, OF Ohio,
stirred up considerable excitement III the
House by offering resolution that the Judi
ciary Committee be instructed TO inquire into
the expediency of reporting bill to give free
dom to every human being, and to interdct
Slavery wherever Congress has the Constitu-
tional power to legislate on that subject. For
few minutes the noise and confusion was
great, but the resolution being voted down by
over 90 ma jority, it soon subsidized. a bill for
the relief OF mail contractors, passed both
Houses. 1t authorizes the Department to use
the net revenue of the quarter just expiring to
pay contractors and route agents.
MARCH 27.-The time OF both Houses Was
taken up with the consideration of the Army
and Navy Appropriation bills.
MARCH 2S.-The bill to increase the pay of
officers in the Navy was passed by the Senate.
A discussion on .polygamy came off in the
House, on the report of a proposition from
tho Committee on Territories declaring poiyg-
amy Crime, and annulliug all the Territorial
laws of Utah legalizing and establishing it,.
The Democrats of the House were not ready
TO stand forth as the advocates and supporters
OF this peculiar institution on the other hand,
they could not but squirm at the idea of as
serting and enforcing the authority of Con-
gress over the Territories in relation to the
subject. For if Congress can limit the num-
Der of wives man may have, it is difficult to
see why it may not also limit the number of
| slaves he may have; if sspopular sovereignty"
in the Territories is deiusion and snare in
| regard to polygamy. why not in relation to
| slavery also? Mr.. Branch, of n. c., was will
ling to prohibit polygamy, but could not brand
it rs crime, because the same thing might
then be done with slavery. The subject was
at last informally laid aside.
MARCH 29.-The President sent message
to the house protesting against Mr. Coyode' S
Investigating Committee, and denying the
power of that body to make any inquiry, the
| result of which may be unfavorabe to the per-
sonal character or official conduct of the Pres
ident. If the conduct of the President is to
be examined, Mr.. Buchanan contends that it
can only be done through the Judiciary Com
| mittee and in the form of impeachment.
On this point an interesting debate sprung up.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

During week before last, sloop engaged in
the oyster-trad was found off Staten Island,
New York, at sea, and upon examination it
was ascertaned, that no persons were on board,
and that the vessel bore marks OF bloody en-
counter. The deck was covered with blood,
at places showing signs of struggle. AT the
sides of the vessel were to be seen lunches of
hair clotted with blood. On the stairway
leading to the deck was to be seen the mark
of a hatchet, where evidently III the encoun-
ter the hand of one of the unfortunate victims
in clinging to the stairway had been cut off.
The small boat OF the vessel was gone. 1t
was found upon bringing the vessel to New
York that the sloop had left the harbor of New
York but shortly before in charge of Cap
tain, two boys, and man by the name of
Johnson. a vessel had run into the sloop the
night before she was found, when the small
boat was still aboard, and but one man made
his appearance on deck. Particular attention
was not called to the sloop at the time. The
Police of New York were soon on the track
of the murderer: and series of circumstances
soon came to light, which lead to his speedy
capture. A man in a small boat landed on
Staten Island, and left the boat on the beach.
Shortly after person with a bundle stopped
at restaurant, and his conversation seemed
rather suspicious. He was traced on Ferry
boat, where he had the same bundle ,and made
an exhibition of some money in the bundle,
about $1,000 as alleged, which he had saved
from ship-wreck. He was finally traced to
his home in New York, was seen to leave the
city with his wife and child and was finally
captured in private dwelling on the outskirts
of Providence, r. L. A gold watch, belonging
to the Captain of the sloop, was found in his
possession. The name OF the suspected mur-
derer is William Johnson, and it is supposed
that he murdered his three unfortunate victims
singly the clothing Of the Captain being found
unsoled with blood, and rendering probable
the Inference, that he was in bed, when the
other two we're murdered. The unfortunate
man has been brought to New York, where
his trial will come off in due time. A more
daring and cold-blooded murder, it has not
been our lot to chronicle in many day.
