Count Cavour.

The intelligence of the death of
Count Cavour, the great Sandman
must be regretted by every American
who has the cause Of constitutional
liberty at heart. Next to Louis Napo-
leon, he was the ablest and most
prominent public man in Europe, and
his loss will be severely felt by the
Italians. They have no other states.
man uniting such comprehensive
views with each practical sagacity,
such knowledge Of principles with
such a mastery of methods. There is
hardly trait Of character or quality
of mind, which is supposed to enter
into the composition Of a great states
man, which he did not possess. The
delicate and difficult task he was
called upon to perform, never found
him wanting in energy, in intelligence,
in persistency, in resource, in kuowl-
edge of men, in foresight of events, in
capacity to turn even obstacles into
opportunities, and Encouragement in
to aids.
His patriotism was as deep, as dis
interested, and probably as fervcnt,
as that of any contemporary but it
was so thoroughly grounded in prin-
ciple that it seemed rather to spring
from the wisdom of the head than the
impulse of the heart. He was man
that the enemies Of Italian liberty not
only could not buy, but could not
deceive.
1t would seem that now the danger
to Italy is not from it's great enemy,
Austria, but from its powerful ally,
France. Cavour was fully a match
for Louis Napoleon, and understood
both how to keep his friendship and
prevent the accomplishment of his
ulterior designs. There is cause for
the apprehension that Italy may now
be converted practically from an ally
into a dependency of France its ma
tional development arrested, and
interests and ideas be subordinated to
the policy of the French Emperor. 1t
cannot do without the friendship Of
France, but the man best fitted to
make the friendship of France consist
ent with the essential nationality and
independence of Italy, has been pre-
maturely removed from the scene.

St. Charles City, Iowa, July 25, 1861.
President Lincoln.

1t may not be impertinent for us to
say that, while Mr.. Lincoln was not
the first choice of the proprietor of
this journal for President, we conceive
it to be the duty of every patriotic
citizen at the present juncture to give
a cordial support to him and his Ad-
ministration. When civil war is rag
ing at our doors, and it is hanging
matter to raise the stars and stripes
in one half the country, it is surely no
time to cavil at errors Of detail which
may be committed by the Administra-
tion in the discharge of duties more
arduous :han have devolved upon the
government since this Confederacy
was first formed. For our part we
are free to confess that thus far Mr..
Lincoln seems to US to have been fully
equal to the stupendous task which
Fate has set before him. We can not
thus far detect a single error in his
Administration of the Government.
He appears to be fully conscious of
the situation, and to be discharging
his duty with keen perception of
his responsibility to God and to the
people. We have yet to hear Of the
first particle of evidence duplicating
him in the vilainous schemes which
are afoat for the surrender Of the lib
critics of this nation at the demand of
an armed mob. Under these circum.
stances, VIC submit that Mr.. Lincoln
is entitled to the cordial support of
every honest man in the country.
Nor can we perceive that any thing
can be gained by carping at the real
Or supposed errors of the members of
the Cabinet. 1t is probable, as they
are men, that they have their faults
But there is no evidence anywhere
that they have thus far done any
wrong to the country, while, on the
contrary, there is abundant evidence
that they are working, one and all,
heart and soul, for the preservation Of
our national existence, for the sup
preston Of rebellion, and for the
maintenance of law, order, and good
government. Is it patriotic. is it de-
cent, under such circumstances, to
cavil at this or that Secretary on the
basis of idle scandals, or for the graf
ification of private rancor? By-and-
by, when the rebellion is put down,
and all that we cherish is secure once
more, it will be timely, perhaps, to in
quire into the conduct of each depart
ment of the public administration with
close and jealous eye. But what is
wanted now from the people of the
United States is faith in the men Mey
hare set 0rer them, a magnaaiu,oas trust
IN their patriotism, and generous
forbearance for ineritaWe shortcomings.
Without these, we cannot expect
to survive our present dire peril.
The public must never forget that op-
position to the Government at the
preset time is aid and comfort to the
enemy. The most signal service that
could be rendered to Jefferson Davis
at the present time would be to create
a general distrust, in the North, of
Mr.. Seward or Mr.. Cameron.

The Manufacture of Arms at Springfield.

The national armory at Springfield,
Mass, is taxed to the utmost to supply
the Government with its splendid RI
f1es. In 1855, the arsenal contained
2S7 900 muskets, and there were prob
ably manufactured in the six years
following $4,000 more. At the pres
cnt time there are but 10000 remain
ing in the arsenal, and these are be-
ing boxed up and sent away for actu-
al service every day. Of the arms
which the traitor Floyd sent South,
but a small portion were riiled, while
most Of them were the old fint-lock
altered over-an inferior and unsafe
weapon for the soldier using it. The
works are now run over sixteen hours
per day, giving employment to seven
hundred men, and this force is increas-
ed as fast as room can be prepared for
them to work in. Over one hundred
rifles per day are now turned out,
which number will be increased in the
future. New rifling machines are
about to be set up, and the capacity
Of the works largely increased.
The Ames Manufacturing Company,
at Chicopee, adjoining Springfield is
also very actively engaged in the pro-
duction of rifled cannon, James's pa
tent projectiles, swords of various
kinds, and the sword bayonet, used
upon the Sharp's and Colts rifles.
Five hundred men are employed, and
seven brass cannons-one more than
u battery-are completed every week.
Old smooth-bore guns, including CO.
lumbiads, are being rihed for the use
Of the James conical ball and shell.
The columbiads will do good execution
at distance of several miles. The
riaing process adds vastly to their eff.
ficiency. OF the projectiles, 400 shot
and shell are turned out daily, while
swords are manufactured at the rate
of three thousand and bayonets one
thousand per month. Four riaing ma
chimes have recently been manufac
tured for the Government, one o
which is in operation at Thompson's
Island, New York harbor, and the 9th
crs will shortly be in use at the Wash
ington Navy Yard. They are of in
calculable value, from the increased
power which they give to our artille
Try.

FROM RED RIVER.

James McFetridge, late collector at
Pembina, Antoine Gingras, John
Deasc and \. Mckay, arrived from
the Red River settlement recently.
We learn from Mr. McFetridge, that
the damage done by the flood this sea-
son is such as to materially rctard for
the present the agricultural and COM
mercial prosperity of the country.
A great number Of cattle were lost,
and other property to considerable
amount was destroyed. Had it not
been for the flood at least four hun.
dred carts would have been in the
train to st. Paul this summer, now it
is doubtful whether more than ono
hundred will be down.
The steamer Anson Northup has
ma lie two trips between Georgetown
and Fort Garry this season. The riv-
cr is still at a good stage, and prom
ises to remain so for some time.-St

Scott pursues the even tenor of his Wav.

The Providence Journal learns from
good authority that Gen. Scott has not
suffered himself to be hurried by the
clamor of newspaper correspondents,
editors. and others, to any steps which
his own deliberate judgment condemns
as premature. The army correspon-
dent of the Christian Watchman and
Reflector relates the following anec-
dote Of the General
The Lord be praised for endowing
one man in this fast, bustling age,
with the graces of silence aud pa
tience. Even the Homcric Jove is
not more sublime than Gen. Scott at
this hour, calmly gathering his thun-
derbolts. Said gentleman to him
the other day, General, the people
are impatient for results Yes, sir,
| know it, he replied, but they ex-
pect successful results. War is my
profession | have made it the study
OF a life, and am now too old to learn.

Give me one Loving Heart.
BY MISS v. J. COLE.

BY MISS y. J. COLE.
Give me the hallowed wealth of love,
That springs from one true heart,
And l will prize it far above
The joys that wealth imparts.
One breast a haven from earth's storm
One arm sure repose-
One faithful heart to shield my form
From every wind that blows.
Fame may survive when l am gone
To gild my humble name,
And riches gain some sordid one,
In future years to blame.
But both will fade, or, living, mar
The light and joy of life,
II cherished, will, like some love star,
Sink down with darkness rife.
But friendship, love and truth endure,
While fame and wealth decay;
They make our happiness secure,
Though time should pass away.
Then give me one fond, trusting heart
To love mid Joy and care:
With toys like these I'll gladly part
For peaceful bliss SO fair.
Then what are wealth and fame to me !
all their charms disown,
For bleak and sad our earth would be,
Were mutual love unknown.
