GARIBALDI.-The news of the downfall
of Garibaldi could not have been unexpec-
ted by those who have watched their aims.
He had project Of uniting Italy in one
great nation and to do this implied. that
ne could drive the French out of Rome and
the Austrains out of Venice, and keep them
out, which with aim was an impossibility.
We are sorry at the misfortunes Of the pat
riot, but the laws Of physical force have
there limits that cannot be passed with I'M
punity any more than the moral ones.
Time and what time brings, will yet solve
problem of what shall be done with the
temporal power of Rome, but the world
and Garibaldi must labor and wait. The
lime is evidently not yet.

Tie Peace society of London issued
an address 10 the people Of the United
States, urging that the time has come,
when an attempt should be made to arrest
the conflict that is carried on in America,
and deprecates any interference in Ameri-
ca, but such as would prove acceptable to
America; but says surely the idea Of fore
IDLE mediation may be entertained with
out any derogation of the national digni,
ty. 1t argues that there are only two
alternatives TO issue out of the war either
utter determination of one Of the parties
to it, or an accommodation or compro-
mise between the contending parties. It
asks, is il not better to have recourse to
the latter at ones before the feeling of the
North and South become bopelessly IN

"Let Us Suppress The Abolitionists."

"Let us suppress ihe Abolitionists,"
cries some sack-witted orator, "and the
rebellion will enc !" OF course it will,
you dear soul; and if all your fellow cit
liens had been Of your caliber and kid
ney there would haze been no rebellion
at all. If Hampden and his friends had
said, "let us suppress these fellows who
cried out against ship money" England
would have quietly submitted to the ty-
ranny of the Stuarts. If OTIS and Pat
rick Henry had shouted "Hurrah for King
George and the Stamp Actr' there would
have been no bloody revolution. If Mira
beau and the French people had beloved
"hurrah for starvation; aristocrats forey-
erm all the trouble ia France would have
| speedily ended. To be sure every RIGHT
would have becn annihilated, every liberty
destroyed, and a few rich and remoreseless
people would have governed France; but
there would have been no difficulty ex-
cept moral rot and general national de
cay.
"Let rs suppress the Abolitionists !"
But suppose you begin at the beginning.
First subdue the common sense Of the
people ofthe country; then you may sub

you call, with an amusing persistence,
AboItionsm which caused The war but
the opening of the eyes OF the people so
that they saw. The people Of this coun-
try know perfectly well that slavery IS at
tie bottom at this rebellion. If there
had been no slavery there would have
been no war; just as there would have
been no Aboltionism. The temperance
movement springs from drunkenness; and

To the people Of Marylaad:
1t is right that you should know the pur-
pose that has brought the army under my
command within the limits Of your State,sc
far as that purpose concerns yourselves.
The people Of the Confederate States have
long watched with the deepest sympathy
the wrongs and outrages that have been in7
flicted upon the citizens of a commonwealth
allied to the States of the South by The
strongest social, political and commercial
ties, and reduced to the condition Of "a con-
quered province, under the pretense Of sup
porting the Constitution; but in violation Of
Of lis most valued provisions your citizens
have been arrested and imprisoned upon no
charge, and contrary to all laws. r faith
ful and manly protest against this outrage
was made by venerable and illtstrous
Marylander, 10 whom in better days no cit
izen appealed for right in vain was treated
with .clrn and contempt. The Govern
ment Of our chief city has been usurped by
armed strangers. Your Legislature has
been dissolved by the unlawful arrest Of IT'S
members, freedom of the press and speech
has been suppressed, words have been de-
clared offenses by an arbitrary decree OF
| the Federal executive, and citizens ordered
to be tried by militery commissions fox
what they may dare sp ak. Believing that
the people Of Maryland possess too much
spirit to submit to such government. The
people off the South have long wishe to
aid them in throwing Of this foreign yoke
to enable you again to enjoy the alIenable
rights of free men and restore the indepen.
dence and sovereignty Of your state. In
obedience to this wish our army has come
among you, and is prepared to assist you
with the power Of its arms, and in acquir-
ing the rights Of which you have been 50
uniustly despoiled This citizens Of Mary
! land is our mission, and SO far as you are
concerned no restraint is intended. No in
| timdation will be allowed within the limits
Of this army. At least Marylanders shall
one more enjoy their ancient freedom OF
thought and speech. We know no eaemies
among you, aud will protect all Of you in
every opinion. 1t is for you to decide your
destiny freely and without constraint.--
Tbs army will respect your choice what
ever it NAV be, anu while the southern peor
pie will rejoice to welcome to your pation'
al position among them. They Will only
welcome you when you come with your
own free will.

White Hen as Laborers at The South.

We wish we could remove ono fallacy
from the Northern mind, and that is the
fallacy that labor performed by negroes on
the plantations at the South cannot be
done by willie men. We say it can; and
it can be done cheaper and better. Intel
ligent and independent Southerners Will
admit this. Why, the white farmers Of
the West, in their harvesting season, work,
and are happy and healthy, under a sun
quite as oppressive as that Of this latitude.
The hol carriers Of the North, with no
wool to Shield their heads, work as no
negro cogl work, in q sun quite as broiI-
ing as anything experieaced in rice field
or a cane Jrake. We throw these asser-
tons out for the examination Of the phi
losopher and the statesman. And We viii
anticipate events so far as to say that q
sugar plantation vil be worked in this
State by white men before the year i out
Don't, then, believe those wAo tell you
that white man can't do what negro
can. He can do all that negro can 10
in the way Of laboring in the sun and
ever so much more.-N Q. Delta.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
writing from Port Royal September 4tr,
says that be has reason to believe that Gen.
Hunters views upon the question Of form
ing negro regiments have been unreserved-
ly adopted by the President, and the
whole question has assumed such differ
ent phase that Gen. Hunter almost regrets
that he is to leave the department. The
last mail brought the authorization of the
President TO enlist five negro regiments,
each Of a thousand negroes, to be armed
and equipped for the service Of the United
States, and also authorizes the enrolment
OF an additional $4,000 to be employed
in the Quartermasters department, nomi-
nally as laborers, but as they are to be or
ganized into companies and uniformed,
and portion of their time is to be spent
in drilling, it is easy to understand that the
possibility of their being used as soldiers
is not lost sight of.
The following statistics are then present
ed respecting the success which has crown
Jed the experiment Of employing the
negro as paid Iaborers upon the planta-
ton.
The population Of the division (including
Port Royal, St. Helena and Ladies' Islands
with the smaller ones thereto adjacent, but
