GARiBALD1's LETTER TO PREs1DENr LtN-
COLIN The letter Of GsribaIdi, the Italisn
Patriot, to president Lincoln. alluded to in
the foreign dispatches, is as follows:-
CArRERA, Aug. 6.
To Abraham Lincoln, Emancipator Of Slaves
in the American Republic
II. in the midst fyour Titanic battles, our
voice can yet reach you, let us, Lincoln,
free son Of Columbus send you word Of
good wishes and admiration for the great
work that you have begun. Heir of the aspi-
rations Of Christ and Of John Brown, you will
pass 20 posterty with the name of the eman-
cpator more cnviable than any crown OF
any human treasure. An entire race of men,
bowed by selfish ogotism under the yoke Of
slavery, is, at 'he price Of the noblest blood
of America restored by you to the dignity Of
man, 10 civilization. and to love. Am RIGA,
mist.es. Of linerty to our fuhers, opens again
the solemn epoch of human progress, and
while she astonishes the world by her gigau-
tic daring. she makes us sorrowiully think
how this old Europe, which also fights so
great a battle for liberty, finds neither mind
nor heart to equal hers While the jewellers
in despotsm raise their bacchanalian rejoic-
ing over the fall Of free people, let free men
feligiously keep sacred the day of the fall OF
slavery. There are mysterisus parallels in
hisiory--the robbery Of Mexico and the Lin
coin proclamation. Prosperity 90 you Abra-

sourh CnrolInn YoIunteers.

On the 2lst, Major General Hunter re-
viewed the 1st regiment of South Carolina
(cOlored) Volunteers. Of the appearance
Of the men upon parade and drill, the cor
respondent of the N Y. Times, speaks
thus complimentary:
"The regiment made fine appearance,
numbering about 800 men, and parading
600 muskets All of the men who had re-
ceived military instruction during the past
two months, and more especially the vete-
ran companies first formed by General
Hunter, did admirably. Whatever mis-
takes were made were those of the white
officers, and these mistakes were Of dis
tances required in the various eYolutions,
for which the captains can alone be held
responsible. It is impossible to conceive
any higher aptitude for receiving military
instruction than these negroes exhibit
Their changes in front, formation in
square, and preparation to charge in
double column, were executed with an har-
monious rapidity and precision scarcely to
be surpassed by any regiment in the com
msnd, although more than one-half the
men have not been under months in
struction. When they were formed in
square General Hunter entered, on the in
vitation of Colonel Higginson, and was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. The Gen
eral uncovered, and speaking with that
terse force always to be noticed in silent
men who seldom throw away words, said:
az MEN Il am glad 10 be in the midst
of you-glHd to have seen so fine an exhi-
bition of proficiency as you have shown
this day. Ionly wish there were 100000
ofyou to fight for the freedom ofthe Union.
1 see no reason why you should not make
as good soldiers as any in the world, and 1
trust that on all occasions you will be
found willing to do your whole duty. 1
am sure that you are all ready to fight for
the liberty ofyour wives and your children.
Men who will not fight for their liberty
are not worthy to have it, and will always
continue enslaved. I shall do my utmost
to look after your comfort, and to see that
your are properly paid, fed and clothed. 1
wish you good day. l hope hereafter to
meet you when you have earned distinction
for yourselves

The business circles Of Chicago have
been startled by an expose of the affairs of
the Marine Bank of that city, by which it
appears that there has been defalcatiOn
on the part of certain parties connected
with the eBsnk-amounting to some $780,
600. The Tribune says that the general
facts of this financial imbroglio are that a
defalcation of 100000 occurred in 1860
while the President of the bank was in Eu-
rope, S517, 900 Of which is traced to party
high in official position in the bank, and
one who had the most ample means Of
knowing the exact financial resources of
the institution, in fact the ostensible man
aver Of it. About $4,000 rests on the
shoulders of another party connected with
the bank in a responsible but subordinate
position, and some $4,000 went off with a
taller who initiated his superiors in
measure proportionate to his station

The Depnrtment ot the south.

The return of Major General Hunter to
Port Royal, from which he had been SO long
absent upon detached duty at Washington,
was the signal for preparations for resum-
ing active offensive operations. 1t is pri-
vately stated that General Hunter did not
leave Washington without the official
promise and partial performance Of such
measures as would assure him of speedy
control Of all the means desired to put in
operation hislong formed aggressive plans
The New Ironsides was at Port Royal when
General Hunter arrived on the 18th, the
Montauk and Passaic soon followed, and
a correspondent says that more
formidable concentration of troops and
men-of-waris is about taking place than has
been witnessed there since year ago last
November. Other iron-clads were expect
ed and the General Commanding, in gen
sral order Of January goth, speaks Of " The
active operation about to commence in this

A War for CortOn---A Brutal Precedent.
& French Journal, ala Nation" which
was recently founded by the Emperor,
had few days ago an extraordinary ar
ticle, which is quoted as being regarded
with great significance by the Pairisians,
It being charged that it was writ
ten by the Emperor, or, at least, BY
his express dictation. 1t speaks Of the
distress caused by the want of cotton, and
Of the fact that no other country but
America will be able for long time to
come to furnish the necessary amount Of
cotton to supply foreign consumers. The
question is then asked, By what reason
able and practical way may America be
brought to again furnish our supplies p
In place of q direct answer, is the fol-
lowing significant paragraph:
awe know of but one precedent to
sneak the truth, which, borrowed from
similar situation, may be examined and
weighed in connection with this one, and
this precedent is the war waged by En-
latter to accept the opium of India IN ex-
change for tea. The English thought IN
the circumctance we now recall, that JUS
tice permitted them to re-establish, by
military Intervention, traditional COM
merce, the interruption of which was
highly prejudiciaf to England and to
Europe"
A more brutal precedent could not be
found. The English did not care as much
for tea as they did to force tho accursed
drug Of opium upon the Chinese, that they
might thereby realize inpOunds andpence,
from the traffic. The article they forced
upon the Chinese at the point of the bay
onet was deadly poison, known to be
such by the venders and the Government
that lent its aid to the work of thus physi-
eally and morally degrading a whole
people. It is such a precedent as this
which the French authorities are forced to
bring up in extenuation of their own
base designs.
HLa Nation" concludes as follows:
For ourselves, we 40 not see any OIher
solution to the cotton crisis than Euro
pean Intervention, of which the form and
The extent remains to be decided, but
which, in leaving to the Americans the So
luton Of their National question, shall
furnish to the manufacturers Of Europe at
least enough material to render possible
serious revival of labor.
ave shall be surprised il, in the coming
legislative assemblies Of France and Eng
land, ideas similar to these are not brought
forward and, in the name of the interests
Of labor and Of humanity, we conjure the

NJ F-ncdIllnn from Newberu.

The Expedition from NNhoNAA-
All accounts represent that formidable
expedition is to proceed from Newbern to
Wilmington, North Carolina.
An expedition, comprising three gun
boats and a number Of transports, under
command Of Gen. Foster, sailed from Hat
terss Inlet on Saturday, oath inst, desti-
nation supposed to be Wilmington. AnOth-
er expedition was fitting out with quick
dispatch, and would sail soon. Probably
it has the same destination. is said that
it will comprise the entire command of
Gen. Nagleo.
The Boston Traveller, of the 26th says:
"a gentleman reached this city this
morning, who left Newbern on Tues
day last. He came by way Of the canal to
Norfolk, upon a Government dispatch boat
At the time he left, the principal expedi-
ton had not sailed, but it was expected
that it would in a short time. There was
large number of steamers at Beaufort, and
large bodies Of troops between that place
and Newbern. 1t was reported that two
iron-clads sailed from Beaufort on the
18th. The Fifth and Forty-fourth Masss-
chusetts Regiments expected to go on this
expedition.
IA small expedition, in command of
Gen. AmoTy, left on Saturday, and had
advanced as far as Pollocksville, twelve
miles out They drove in the enemy's
pickets and several wagons loads of stores,
Sc, captured from the rebels, had reached
Newbern. They sscertained that the roads
above Pollocksville were obstrueted by
fallen trees. There had been no fighting
reported. 1t was expected that Gen. Amo-
rvs command would return in a day or
two, when the Forty-ffth Massachusetts
Regiment would be detailed TO do provost
duty at Newbern, in place of the Seven
teenth. Nothing was known of the enc
my's force in front, but it was reported
that there were 40, 600 men at Kinston, and
20,OOOat GoldsborO', with ubiquitous Stone
wall jackson in command.
"The sick at Newbern were well cared
for, the hospitals being comfortable and
supplied with everything needed. The
troops were satisfied with their rations,
but were anxious to see the psymaster.
Some of them had not been paid for six or
eight months. The place was Overstocked
with suffers goods"

The Army of the Potomac and its Change
OF Commanders.
washington Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. ]
It is rumored that Franklin regards be-
ing relieved of his command as an impu-
tation on his conduct, and will demand q
Court Of Inquiry. The rumor goes on to
saw that if such demand be made it will
be promptly granted, and that this Court
will be sure to show that the actions in
Franklin's military career which have
caused him to be most blamed, have been
done in direct obedience to specific orders
from Mcclellan.
1t is believed that the upshot of the
whole matter will be court martial of
Mcclellan himself. Hitchcock's remRrka-
bic letter fatty accusing Mcclellan Of dis
obedience Of the Presidents orders is re-
garded as a forerunner of such a course.
1t is thought that there can be no doubt
that action will now be the word with the
army of the Potomac. Hooker is a man
either to make or break, and not to stand
very long waiting to go about it.
His appointment in Burnside's place
causes no surprise. 1t has been thought
probable at any time since Antietam, and
was always thought sure to come sooner
or later.
Speaking Of the appointment, last night
Wendell Phillips said, ain our delving
for General we have gone through the
drift and stubble Of Mcclellan and the
rich alluvial soil of Burnside, but now,
thank God, we were striking the solid
granite of Hooker"

Savannah or Charleston 10 be Attacked.
Port Royal Correspondence to the NY. Times.l
On Thursday, Admiral Dupont, accom-
panied by Fleet-Captain Rogers, and other
members Of his staff, paid a visit Of con-
sultation to General Hunter, at which
General Seymour. assisted, and at which
the general basis of the future joint land
and naval operations wa agreed upon
Of course, Icannot tell anything certainly
about the programme. I only know that
among us outsiders there is great doubt as
to what part of the coast the joint expedi-
ton will head when leaving the karbor-
whether North to Charleston or South to
Savannah. Some persons protesting to be
fully informed, say that Charleston is to
be the point Of attack, and there are not q
few who have come to the conclusion that
Savannah is to be first assaulted. Judging
from all the preparations I can see, and
the vast number and amount Of stores now
being shipped to Fort Pulaski, my own
guess, if were at liberty to guess, would
be that Admiral Dupont and General Hun
ter are resolved to do nothing rashly, but
to make the first experiment upon the
least strongIy fortified city. Admiral Du-
pont is of opinion that the torpedoes and
other distractions which have, with much
pains, been placed in the Savannah rivr-
and Charleston HarbOr, will prove Of lit
tie avail. An ingenious Yankee down
here has invented an apparatus which will
precede our irOn-clads, plotting each expe-
dition, and which viii explode any torpe-
does that may be submerged, either in the
river or hsrbor, at q distance of not less
than sixty yards from the bow Of the first
vessel.

that the prospect for the success of our

of it the public at distance may be.
