|. = But here comes another let down. re-
ally worse than any before. AS if despair
ing of native genius or enterprise, the
Presidential Washington has actually sent
totask Garibaldi to accept tho post of
Commanderin>chief throwing into the
bargain tho emancipation of the slaves.
1t costs an effort to take in, the e.1trava-
giant oddity and the humliating character
Of this proposal. Had the Government
at Washington confessed their ignorance
of war. on the grand scale, and sent for
great tactician, even for one Of the Pied
montese Generals, that would have only
been what has often happened before. 1t
might have been said that any American
was more or less.a Garibaldi-that is, a
man OF persenal4powers and enterprise,
but that the occasion required Cialdin.
But to send for Garibaldi is to confess a
failure in the element supposed to be
specially American. It is to confess that
a man is, wanted. who will 60 at the ene-
: my, and advance into its territory against
overpowering odds. On any view of the
case Garibaldi is not the man the Ameri>
cans want. He has never yet attempted
or desired 10 command a. large army, and

our yesterdays columns, be has over and

the ssnoulderiag indignation Of Italy was
breaking eut;;~nd calling him to Venice or
to Rome-a. He would find how easy it is
