Correspondent OF the Mobile Advcr-
tiser, in his letter of Wednesday
night, June 10, writes:
The weather Yesterday and to-day
was oppressively warm, yet the camps
and the city continue in the best Of
health. Beyond Il few eases Of light
sickness, the hospitals are without
inmates, Indeed, the only thing now
dreaded is scarcity Of ice--a medi-
cine that has entered largely into the
practice of Southern physicians Of
late years.
Gen. Bragg visits the city to-mor-
row, to revie" and inspec, the troops

For two or three days past the off

with their mortar batteries. The

who have hitherto pursued lite's

guns could be heard and the expIo-
sions Of the shells seen distinctly
from the city. Our ncigbbors Of the
Niagara war ship were yesterday
morning engaged in the same husi-
ness.
Talk about starving our army

supplies ample for his army for five
months, and one house alone in Pen

hand Sufficient to feed the city album

GARIBALDI AND OUR ADOPTED
CITIZENS.

The readiness with which our citizens Of
foreign birth have responded to the cali Of
their adopted country in the hour of its great
need, is one of the most interesting features
of the times. From the very outset of the
present difficulties, spirit of devotion, not
to say enthusiasm, has been manifested
throughout the free States fo1 the cause OF
the Union, and our naturalzed citizens OF
every nationality have seemed to vie with
each other in their support of the flag, which
only, can give protection to them and u.s.
Legions Of Germans, Irish Scotch, Italians,
Hungarians, French, Swiss, and Polish, to
say nothing of Swedes, Danes and Spanish
have sprung to their arms like true patriots
showing conclusively that they are worthy
sons of the Republic, and that they mean to
support, with their lives, if need be, its insti-
buttons and its laws.
Of the different nationalities, the Ger
MANS Irish, and Scotch seem to be best pro-
vided with leaders Of their own respective
classes, and alreadya are the names of Segel,
Corcoran, Cameron, and others of these ma
tionalities, placed in the record of American
history, where they will, we doubt not. con-
tinue to hold an honorable position beside
the names Of our best American officers.
With the Italians, French and other class
es Of Europeans among us the case has been
somewhat different. They do not, as yet
seem 10 find the leader or leaders which they
need, to give them the confidence which is
always necessary t. success. ProyerbiaIlv
heroic, by intuition impuIsiyely brave, and
by the necessities existing in their history,
wallike and well trained to arms. it is quite
possible they may have required a higher or
der OF military talent than they could find
in their ranks here. To obviate this Difficult.
ty 1t has been eagerly hoped by all, and most
earnestly by this class Of our population, that
their own great tavOrite, and the world re-
newned General Garibadi would offer his SER
vices to the government. Rumors to this eff
feet have been rife for some time, though we
have never given much credence to them
BY later teIegraphic dispatches, however,
there seems more probability of the truth CT
the report But we shall soon know the full
truth in the case. In the mean time we NAV
say that with Garibald, or without him, we
shall expect good report of this class of our
citizens; but with him, we should expect that
all will have to Look to their laurels.

proposed before starting-that of getting to
the railroad leading from Manassas TO the
valley of Virginia, and goiug on it far
enough to break up and destroy the commu-

we have fought day or few hours sooner,
there is everything to show how we could
have continued successful, even against the
odds with which we contended.
