The Hero of the Rcd Shirt.

Tho Herald, in an editorial on tho
threatened CONFUSION of Europe" gives
an account of the recent movement Of
Garibaldi, and says, in conclusion,
At all events, for some time TO, come

and danger suggested to Louis Napoleon
in the present threatening movements OF

Davis. We have powerful friend and
ally in the intelligent and sagacious En-
peror Alexander; but, under the existing
complications of the Roman question,
we have perhaps, at this moment, even
more powerful ally in that plain and hon
est soldier that idol of the Italian peo-
pie, that uncrowned monarch Of the
"Red Shirt" Garibaldi. With that little
group of volunteers around him in the
Island of Sicily we recognize the nucleus
of an army which may be strong enough
to shake tue thrones of Europe to their
foundation; and, under this belief, we
conclude that honest .Garibaldi has al
ready done enough to render assurance

ton in behalf of JEFF. Davis and his dis
solving Southern Confederacy. Long live
Garibaldi! .,...-.
The poor old sinner of the Herald is in
desperate strait. Who cares about for

force at A. NJ. this morning, issued
my directions for general advance; an

in the rear, really have no casualties

it the shortest way under the Constitu-

can be restored, the nearer the Union
will be "the Union as it was" If there
be those who would not save the Union
unless they could at the same time de-
stroy slavery, do not agree with them,
My paramount object in this struggle is
to save the Union, and is not either TO
save or destroy slavery. If could save
the Union without freeing any slave
would do it; and if could save it by
freeing all the slaves ] would do it; and
if l could save it by freeing some and
leaving others alone, would also do that:

Influence OF Sensible Women.

1t is a wondrous advantage to q
man, in every pursuit or avocation to
secure an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is at once a subtle
delecacy of tact, and plain sound
ness Of judgment, which is rarely com
bined to an equal degree IN man. A
woman, if she be really your friend,
will have q sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will
seldom counsel you to DO a shabby
thing, for woman friend always de-
sires to be proud of you. At the
same time, her constitutional timidity
makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent thing
By female friendships l mean pure
friendships-those in which there is
no admixture of the passion Of love,
except in the married state.
A mans best female friend is a wife
of good sense and good heart, whom
he loves and who loves him. If he
have that, he need not seek elsewhere
But supposing the man to be without
such helpmate, female friendship be
must still have, or his irtellect will be
without a garden, and there will be
many ali unheeded gap even in the
strongest fence. Better and safer Of
course, such friendships were dispari
ties of years or circumstances put the
idea Of love out of the question. Mid
die life has rarely this advantage /;
youth and old age have. We may
have female friendships with those
much older, and those much Younger
than ourselves. Moliere's old house
keeper was great help to his genius ;
and Montaigne's philosophy takes
both gentler and loftier character Of
i wisdom from the date in which he
finds, in Marie de Gournay, an ad-
opted daughter, "certainly beloved by
me" says the Horace Of essayists,
"With more than paternal love, and
involved by my solitude and retire
ment, as one Of the best parts Of my
being" Female friendship, indeed,
is to man ''presidicm et dulce decus"
I-bulwark, sweetner, ornament of his
existence. To his mental culture il
is invaluable /; without it all his knowl-
edge of books will never give him
knowledge of the wOrld.-Bul'osr.
