GARIBALDI.-It is difficult for us to see
what Garibald is doing. The reports of his
proceedings are as contradictory as those of
the movements of Beauregard or Jackson. 1t
Is strongly suspected that Victor Emanuel and
he are entirely in harmony with each other,
notwithstanding the apparent differences be-
tween them. 1t is intimated that the King and
possibly the Emperor Napoleon are pretending
to oppose Garibaldi's proceedings, but that
they VIII let him go on until his movement has
assumed such proportions, and the popular
clamor through Italy for movement on Rome
will be so loud, that they may say that il is not
proper for them to stand up against the united
cry and desire of Italy. Then, according to
this hypothesis, will come the settlement of the
Roman question. We do not yet see satisfac-
tory evidence that this theory is correct.
though such course would not be unlike that
which Napoleon has heretofore taken.
About all we know is, that Garibaldi is in
Sicily, with some hundreds of gallant young
volunteers, and that circular has been issued
by his friends and with his approval, declaring
that the debt of gratitude which Italy owes to
France, is not enough to tie her hands, 1t
says that the people of Italy have the right to
take the initiative, as they did In 1860. 1t
afiirms, that though the kingdom of Italy has
existed two years, the Pope still reigns, foreign
troops hold Rome, brigandage Is prevalent. and
affairs are otherwise in an unsatisfactory con-
dition. The people, it proclaims, under Carl
baldi,will liberate Rome from the Pope and pro-
claim it the capital of Italy.
The whole tenor of Garibaldi's words is hos
tile TO Napoleon. The Italians in Paris say
That Garibaldi means to provoke a collision
with the French at Rome and be cut down by
them, and leave his name and memory as a
legacy offury TO battle Napoleonic designs
He seems to be moving quite slowly, either be-
cause he has not as many men as he expects,
or because he wishes the excitement on the
main land to reach a greater intensity before
he crosses the Straits of Messina.. His purpose
is at present shrouded in mystery. But his
course can hardly fail to have an important in
fluence on European politics. Providence

Defeat--Its Effect.

The people are willing that the Government
should keep from the public any thing deemed
to be of character rendering silence nessesa-
ry. But we think after battle has taken
place, there can be nothing gained by keeping
the facts from the people. Indeed it were bet
ter to let them know the truth, even though
that truth be unwelcome, than to permit them
to be tortured by all sorts of rumors and sur
misses. They can bear it. Upon this subject
the New Bedford Mercury has the following.
Edward Everett once remarked. while speak
ing of what Yankees had accomplished as
Western pioneers, Nothing SO quickens the
faculties as the genius of desolation." 1t is
perhaps another mode of expressing the old
saying Necessity is the mother of invention" !"
When men come into desperate straits, the
energies are reused, and what under ordinary
circumstances would be regarded as miracles,
are quickly performed. Great efforts require
great occasions. Mans extremity is often his
own best opportunity, when he himself, as well
as all the world, is surprised at the power
which leaps forth to meet and overcome obsta-
cles, and carve safe passage through difficult
ties and dangers.
Misfortunes are sometimes our best friends,
teaching us great truths, correcting false esti-
mates OF ourselves and others. making us self
reliant instead of boastful leading us to re-
solve rather than yapor. We believe that de-
feat strengthens us as people. AT no time in
the history OF this rebellion was there a more
fiery zeal, a more intense purpose, more unit
ed resolve in the hearts of loyal men, than lust
after the battle of Bull Run. 1t requires no
depth of philosophy to understand the value
of temporary reverses-to appreciate 1.-THE
sweet uses of adversity.' They are like ton
les, stimulative and restorative.
We hope the men in power understand all
this-that they have faith, not only in the abil-
ity of the people to bear up under reverses
but in the salutary influence, the strengthen
ing effect produced upon them by full knowl.
edge of such reverses and a clear perception
of the difficulties TO be encountered, The
people are not craven-they ask for no proph-
ecy of smooth things-they cry ont instinct
lively. "Let us know the worst" And the
government wastes its most precious and re-
liable strength if it keeps back this knowledge
and attempt to mistify the masses. If defeat
comes, let us know it-call it defeat-and
give us the length and breadth. Instead Of
discouraging enlistmrnts it would quicken
them. 1t would depress for a moment; but
1t would be like the crouching of a tiger for a
spring, to be followed by an exhibition of cour
age and resolve.
We do not know that there is any dispositiou
on the part of the administration TO keep back
