TIE NoRrHKkS JOURNALS announce that
they have succeeded in inducing some Of
Garibaldi's officers and men to espouse their
sinking cause, and that they are preparing 70
come to America to aid in the invasion Of the
the South. The Yankees have exhibited from
the beginning of the war disgraceful want
Of confidence 10 their own superior numbers,
and their vaanted prowess, by hunting over
the whole world for soldiers TO fight their
battles. Not content with making up their
armies principally from the refuse foreign
population which Europe has cast upon their
shores, they have approximately solicited the
aid of European Governments, and failing in
that, have employed agents to enlist tbe vag-
abond adventurers ana the scum Of the Eu-
ropean population under the harness Of their
hlnbnstering crusade against the Southern
Confederacy. The Intelligent and influential
classes of European society look upon them
with profound disgust, and it is only the Red
Republicans, the enemies of law and order
and enlightened liberty, upon whom they can
draw in the slightest degree for aid and CON-
fort. OF all the population Of the Old World,
this is at once the most depraved
and the least reliable. 1t has never
been able, either in France, Germany, or
Italy to achieve success for its ownprinciples,
OF 10 do anything but mar and spoil every
effort which has been made in Europe for
constitutional liberty. The triumphs of Carl
baldi were the result, not so much Of his per-
sonal vaior, as OF the cause which he repre-
scented, and which bore him upward and on
ward as the ocean wave bears the foam wnicn
glitters upon it's crest 1t was because ne LED
!. people struggling precisely as the Sout hern
people are struggling for deliverance from
foreign domination, that he achieved Vlcto
ries which could never have been gained oy
ten thousand Garibaldi's in opposition to that
cause. We care not how many Of his lieu
tenants come to America. None Of them Will
come but the mere soldiers Of fortune who at
tached themselves to his cause, not from prln-
ciple or patriotism, but for pay and provant-
Which ever side the Red Republicans take,
the rest of the world will be found in opposi
ton. If they take the side of the United
States, it will be because they think the iniu-
euce of their own cause in Europe will be in
creased by the success of the North, and for
that very reason, the Governments of their
own countries will endeavor to thwart their
schemes. We dare say the North would very
readily exchange any aid it can receive from the
lazzaroni of the old world for the ratiOnal
prospect which the South has of the inter.
vention of powerful European Governments
in it's behalf

Business--The merchants of Richmond
have undoubtedly gathered in harvest since
the commencement Of the war, and it is
the wonder of many persons how they man
age to keep the stock Of dry goods replenished.
Passing along the business streets, we see
bales and boxes in protusion, and there never
has been time when the feminine portion of
the community dressed in more elaborate style
than at present. lfthere was in the Southern
Confederacy, when the ports were closed, a
supply sufficient to last forever, the purchases
of 1860 must have been enormous 1t is
limited that goods are smuggled in from the
North, and that Southern gold goes over the
line to pay for them, even now but we hest
tate about believing such an imputation.
about the matter, which possibly may be
brought to light some of these days.

The Streets--The snow dissolved rapidly
yesterday, and the streets presented a surface
of rich mellow mud, through which the horse
waded and plunged, pursuing their task I'M
whip. 1t was little better at the crossings
than anywhere else, and if man got over
safely himself, he had the luxury of .soiled
and spattered pantaloons, and boots without
a particle of lustre. The ladies tried in vain
to find dry sidewalk, and we apprehend
that many went home with damp stockings
and muddy dresses Nevertheless, everybody
made the best of it, and the blue sky and
bright sunshine gave cheerful appearance
