~ Garibaldi.s reason for his sudden de-
to leave England, il given BY
D London correspondent Of the New York |
Mening Post, who 10 an intimate friend Of
the General, and had the statement from
his own lips. He lelt, because the Eng
lish Government limited to him thu This
continued presence would embarrass them
with regard to the Government Of France!'
This hint was conveyed to the General by
Mr.. Gladstone and Lord S6sfbesbury. sa|
This is probably the exact truth. Louis
Napoleon could not endure . repetition of
the London popular ovasions - tho patriot
Of Italy. It was giving him IN importance
which might endanger some scheme Of the
Emperor perhaps tend to ultimately en-
danger his position. Il must be stopped,
and he intimated - much to the English.
And the English Government did what it
knew would stop it,--hinted to Garibaldi
that his presence was embarrassing to them!
Verify, the Lion is becoming exceedingly
meek. He il seating humble-pie'' quite
often, in these days. He submits now to
the dictation Of = French de,pot! HE de-
cides what visitors shall be entertained

~ The rebels have done us the favor
OF declaring that "this is the last year OF
the war, whichever wins.' That is certain

present campaigns, they are prepared to
throw down their arms and give up the
contest. They are not authorized TO speak
for us, however. On our part we hope to
win in tho present campaigns. But if they
should prove unfortunate, ~ they do not
promise to do, we shall do rs Henry Clay

~ Tho assessed value Of the property,
real and personal, Of the city Of New York
for 1854. amounts to the tribe Of over six
hundred and thirty-one millions, and an
increase over that Of 1858 Of more than
thirty-six millions. II there were any
means Of ascertaining the sctwal wealth Of
that city and it, people, We presume the
figures would assume still larger proper

w. A dispatch from Cairo, OF the 9Th.
says that rumors were in circulation that
Admiral Porter had blown up three gum
boats, and ave transports, and also that the
rebels were threatening vicksburg, Port
Hudson and other points along the river.
The authority for these rumors does not
seem to be particularly reliable. The rob-
els and their sympathizers would no doubt
be glad to make diversion, in that direc-
ton il possible. 4a4s
! ~ It is reported that Gen. Steele il ON
bin route back from Camden TO Little Rock,
Ark, and that severe battle has been
fought between his forces and those Of
Price, in which the latter was repulsed. Il
was also reported that Marmaduke was on
his way TO join Price, and that in conjunc-
ton, they meditatsd m attack on Little
Rock. We think Il probable that Steele y
on his way beck. His further advance was
made impossible BY the falling back Of
Ranks, with with whom, Of course, It was
intended to cooperate. But - for the rest
~ shall believe it when compelled to.
1-As the campaign il Virginia il now
fully opened. We shall endeavor to give
our readers al items Of news concerning
it, ~ early ~ possible. They will exercise
their own Judgment - to the reliability
Of all rumors that are or may be reported,
and how such ~ they credit are likely to
affect the grand result Of the conflict in
that quarter. We print what comes to us.
Some Of it is probably true-some likely
to be otherwise, and much that il meant
for truth, will probably turn out TO be
tho very opposite. We must possess our
souls in patience until the campaign has .

der dry"
N1-The Chicago Journal states that Gen.
Sherman's army commenced . forward
movement simultaneously with that Of the
Potomac. It says the camps were broken

nooga last week, and are doubtless already
well advanced towards Rome. 0eorRia, and
Montgomery, Alabama. This 10 what the
Josr,sal believes, - We suppose, on inSor-
nation from it, own correspondents. It
also says thatnsws from that section il now
