can give you some very interesting
particulars in regard to the proposition Of
Ga,ibald to join our army, and the proba-
biiity Of his soon entering into the service
Of the United States. Nearly two moaths
ago our Consul at Genoa wrote to Gari-
babli on the subject Of our civil war.
Garibaldi promptly replied, saying that he
"sighed for retirement, but if the great
cause Of republican gogernment-self
goyernment-fre institutions-which is
the same throughout the world, was at
stake he might be induced to relinouish
his long cherished hope Of withdrawal
from public life; and be begged the Con
sui to express to our government his deep
sympathy in this hour Of trial. He con
Guided bis letter with the sgnifeantinquiry
whether this conflict would result in he
emancipation OF the slaves? This CORES
pondence was forwarded BIZ our Consul to
Secretary Seward, who communicated the
same to the President. Mr.. Lincoln inn
mediately directed the Secretary Of State
to tender to Garibaldi, in the name
Of the President, the appointment Of
Major-General in the American Army, if
he would take part in this great contest.
Mr.. Stewards reply to Garibaldi, addressed
to our Consul at Genoa, is one of the most
elaborate, studied and ornate pieces OF
rhetoric that has eyer enanated from his
pen, and will be admired when il comes to
lie published by the lovers of rhetoric
throughout the world Ii was general in
its terms, arguing the point SO often pre-
sented to American readers, that if repub-
lean government fails hsre, there is no
hope for it anywhere Use; bat "a the gov
eminent at that time had no policy in ~
gard to the confscation and freeing Of the
slaves Of rebels, and the Secretary Of State
did not know whether the government
would adopt policy on that subject, he
lodged Gariballi's main and important
question, and made no alusion to it what
ever. But now that General Fremont has
made policy for the government on this
vexed question--in full harmony with Gar
ibaldi's yiews-ths friends Of the italian
liberator are sanguine that he will soon Be
here to accept the proaered commission III

Fremont Explains his Proclaim
alton.

Col. Taylor wrote TO Fremont after the
celebrated proclamation, asking for instruc-
lions as to how prisoners should be dispos-
ed, whether they shall bo SHOT Or treated
as prisoners Of war; whercupon, Fremont
whites as follows:
CAL persons who shall be taken with
AIMS in their hands, within these lines, shall
be tried By Court Martial, and if found
guilty will be shot"
lie then explains what is meant by ''pof-
sons taken with arms in their hands" in
this way:
"The lines are expressly declared to be
those Of the army ID the military occupa-
ton Of this State. You nave wholly mis-
unprecedented the meaning Of the proclama-
lion. Without undertaking to determine
the condition Of any man engaged IN this
rebellion, | desire 70 be clearly understood
that the proclamation is intende5 distinctly
to recognize all the usual rights Of an enc
my in the field, and to be in all respects
strictly conformable 10 the ordinary usages
Of war.
Its hardly necessary for me to say thai
it was not prepared with any purpose tc
ignore the ordinary rights OF humanity,
with respect to wounded men. or to those
who are hu.nanely engaged in alternating
their sufferings.'
