ARluvAL.-Col. Adler, who led regiment under
Garibaldi, in Italy, last year arrived in Richmond
on Friday, for the purpose Of Offering his services
to the Confederate Government. Strong efforts
were made to induce him to enter the army at the
North, but he preferred TO fight for free people,
and has therefore, after encouutering various diff
iculties, succeeded in reaching Virginia. He ex-
hibits scars received i'll battle under his dstiD-

Versatility of Printers,

The Belfast (Ireland) Mercury gives
the following in relation TO printers:
"From high to low they are the same
reckless, light-hearted, clever, we'll
informed felIows-knowing how to act
better than they do-nothing at times
everything il the occasion requires, or the
fit takes them. No sooner are they com
Portable in one town, than they mako
travel for another, even though they
travel on hair-space means. And to what
will they not turn their hands ? I'VE
have seen, says an American editor, 'one
and the same individual OF the craft,
minister in CALIFORNIA; "a lawyer in Missouri.
a sheriff in Ohio, bostman on the West
ern canal, sailing privateer. an auc ton
eer in New York, and a pressman in
great printing Office Nor are these
characteristics confined TO any country
they are every where the same. We have
met them as lecturers, actors, travelling
preachers, ventriloquists-in fact every
thing. We have met on tramp in this
country members of the wild rowing pro-
fession from all parts of the globe
Frenchmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, Ger
mans and Swedes-and all apparently as
much at home as in their own country.
Ardent lovers Of liberty, kingcraft finds
but little favor in their eyes. When the
Cbartist excitement was raging in En-
gland, the most eloquent leaders in the
movement were printers. When the bar
ricades were raised in Paris, in l848, the
compositors cast their types into bullets
and fred them at the royalist troops"

His knapsack was brought TO him. and az
no took it, his eye cleaned with pleasure
and his face was covered all over with q
smile. as he brought out from it his hid
treasures.
There" said he, "that is Bible from my
mother. Aud Washington's farewell

this, Ibis voice failed.
The nurse thcn looked down to soc what

"Now," said the dying young soldier.

the poor young man laid him down on them
TO die, requesting that they should be- sent

joyful was ho dying. 1t was only going from
night to endless day-trom death to eternal
glory. So the young soldier died.

Fort Lafayette.

Since Fort Lafayette has become tho
military prison Of tho Government in which
arc confined all Srato prisoners, information
in regard to it will DO of interest TO the pub.
lie. We copy from tho New York Herald ::
The entrance to tho Bay of Now York.
commonly called tho Narrows, is protected
BY forts on either side On tho Station
Island side arc forts Tompkins and Rich.
mOnd-the latter above and cOmman ding
tho former, the front part of which is washed
by the sea. On tho opposite or Long Island
side is Fort Hamilton, on a iittle island. the
public road intervening between it and tho
sea. Fort lafayette is erected on n shoal,
about four hundred yards from shore. and
nearly in line between it and Fort TOmp-
kins, with no other means Of communication
with tho shore than boat.
The shape of tho fort is quadrangula ar,
with tho angles pointing to Tho soa and bay
and either shore, diamond wise. Facing
Fort Hamilton arc two tiors of heavy cannon,
bomb proof casemates. On this side, which
is less protected than tho others. appear to
be barracks for the troops, aud other ncces-
sary buildings, tho roofs of which are seen
rising above tho walls of the fort. This part
of the fort, however. is completely com.
manded by Fort Hamilton, opposite which
is tho sallyport in ono Of tho angles.
On the other side guns are mounted en-
Jdrtelte, in addition to tho heavy casemato
guns below. In fact. tho entire structure,
whatever may bs said of its capacity as u
defense against foreign invasion. seems TO DO
moro than sufficiently strong to keep in So
curity such as arc likely to bo entrusted to
the hospitable care Of Col. Burke. II would
sorely puzzlo Jack Sheppard or Baron
Trenck themselves. wero these worthless
alive, and confined in Fort Layfayette, TO
mako thoir way out of that stronghold, sur
rounded as they would be by granite walls,
with the sea washing thoir base on every
side; and yet there wore wiseacres who
could seriously advise the Sheriff OF Kings
county to call out tho militia of the county
to reduce the fort, in order that the Sheriff
might be enabled to arrest Lieutenant Col.
Burke on q warrant of attachment for re-
fusing TO obey Judge Garrisons writ OF
habeas corpus in favor of tho Baltimore
Polico Commissioners, in obedience to his
superior, Gen. Scott. The law may not be
exactly "an ass, TO employ the phraseology
of Mr.. Bundle, the beadlo of the parish, in
requiring Mr.. Sheriff Campbell to make
formal application for the militia TO aid him
in serving and executing the writ. but the
individuals who imagine that Fort Lafayette
can be reduced by ten times the force that
Kings county can bring to bear against ii.
must have very long ears. Indeed, isolated
as Fort Lafayette is. and commanded SO
completely by Fort Hamilton, with the sea
open to the Federal forces, the officer of
the day on Saturday at Fort Hamilton
seems justified In the remark be made TO
our reporter, that the entire force of New
York city, several times over. would not
suffice to get possession of Fort Lafayette
and the prisoners confined therein.
