q EN EIsAL NEWS.

We have this morning soms additional news by
the Europa. The greatest excitement continues to
prevail in Italy. where Garibsldi is expected TO be
soon at the head Of $1,000 volunteers. He had held
a council Of war at Ceiau, at which it was resolved
10 march without delay on the Roman States. There
was rumor Of an engagement having taken place
between the troops of the Government and the
Garibaldisns. Two Confederate steamers, the Mer-
rimac and No. $780, succeeded in escaping from the
Tuscaora. The speedy recognition Of the Rebel
States by France and England wss considered pretty
certain.

THE SKIES BRIGHTEN.

The successful escape Of Gen. McClellan's
army from it, tight place" on the James,
and its assumption of new base of opera
tons, will powerfully tend to encourage enlist.
ments. Notwithstanding the natural. and,
upon the whole, perhaps, laudsble effort OF the
public press to make it appear that his falling
back from the ChcahomiDy to tho James was
the result Of " strategy" still the conviction
had permeated the common mind Of tho country
that at the very best McCiellan's position al
Harrison's Landing would only enable him to
successfully resIst an attack OF the Rebels,
and though it might be impossible for the
enemy to strike him, it was equally impossible
for him 10 strike tho enemy. Men whose
hearts were overlooking with patriotism, but,
nevertheless, having an eye to the main
chance" felt some reluctance 10 join column
thus hemmed in aud doomed TO inactivity, on
the banks of a sluggish stream, under blaz-
ing sun, during the sicky season of the year.
But, now all is changed The army OF the
Potomac has emerged from the swamps and
miasma of the James, and is about to plant
its foot on hard, high ground. Starting from
its true base OF operations, it will soon resume
the offensive and march onward toward the
Rebel capital. Let its wasted ranks be
promptly replenished with the best blood OF the
loyal States. Led by such Generals
as Mcclellan. Buruslde, Pope, Heintzelman,
Sumner, Banks, Sigel Porter, LOCKER, Kear-
ney, Mccall, Franklin, and their brave COM
peers aud, III oil its grand proportions, mar

North aud East pour their troops across the
Potomac without stint, only demanding that
they shall DO used promptly and efficiently IL

not need any comments on the above. What
they already know il sufficient. For tho ben.
eft of others we add few notes:
| Tile Tins challenged THE TRIBUNE to a
discussion Oh Wendell Phillipss loyalty which
it grayely imp% ached. basDg its Impeachment
on his recent En- Anticipation speech, which had
rot then been repo. rted. Its specifications Of
disIoynlty were twx: l. Discouraging enlist.
ments in the Union armies; 2. Seeking tho
overthrow of our preAent Union Government
and the establishment Of no" one 10 It's stead.
Not having seen the speech we TOO hastily
accepted the averments OF ms asSaiah's a.
true, and answered accordingly.
But The Times was not satisfied. 1t insisted
on fuller aud more explicit censures on Jnstiii.
cations from us of Mr.. Phillipss sentiments
Meantime, full, authentic report OF Mr..
Phillios's speech, from notes taken on its
delivery by an eminent photographer, appeared
in the last ARt-S'arery Standard. Mr.. Phil.
ps's intimate friends, having carefully read
that speech, FASTENED to assure US that wo
had been too cOnfding in accepting as true
the construction put upon his remarks by his
epemies-tbat Mr. Phillips did not discourage
enlistments, nor propose to supplant the exist
ing Union Government by new one. We
met. therefore, the now challenge Of The
Times by demand that it should take up the
actual, authentic speech in question, cite from
it the passage or passages held to justify tho
charge OF disloyalty. and we would pass jadg'
nient thereon. In other words, We did what
any Justice on earth must have done-reiused
to receive doubtful aud imperfect testimony as
to Mr.. Phllllps's expressed views. when his
actual laneuage-just what he did say and
iucu!cate-was at length within every ones
reach.
Tie Times responds as above. We have no
more to say, but that The Times is fairly
exhibited in its article just quoted. Be good
