One Of the most remarkable, If not the
most genuine analysis Of Garibaldrs char
acter yet written, is given by the London
Economist in the following terms:
He is not q statesman he is not wise
man; in political sagacity, in range of
mind, in intellectual powers, he IL indispu-
tably below par. His prejudices are very
strong, his capacity Of appreciating other
men and other views is singularly narrow,
his insight into character is defective in
the extreme, and his want of judgment al.
most unmatched among great military and
revolutionary leaders. His extraordinary
strength lies in the enthusiasm which per.
vades his own spirit, and which, just be-
cause it 80 pervades him, he II able 70 com.
municate to and sustain in others. His
sole greatness, and it il . most real and
rare sort lies in the childlike purity Of his
nature, in his unegotstic generosity, in his
unswerving singleness Of purpose. He
has faith to remove mountains, and he lives
and acts among people where faith has
more power than over our cold Northern
temperaments. But unfortunately his
faith is promiscu0us and unsifting. He
has faith in special providences, In wild
schemes, in week men, and in bad men,
He 10 easily Impressed, easily bambooEled,
easily misled. He is, in fact, m intensely
amiable, afectionate, believing, unsus.
pecting child. He never ceuld be brought
to trust Cavour, or to mistrust Victor

SEND THEM TO 1ONDoN.-Mr. Mem
minger, the Secretary of the JEFF. Davis
Treasury, was to have sold at public auc-
ton on May 18th, some very desirable pro-
perty-bonds Of the rebel Government
These bonds were part of a five hundred
million loan; but the rebel Government
didn't want to dispose Of the whole loan at
once, and so-nnly offered for sale mere
bagatelle of FIVE millions. These bonds
offered great advantages for the investment
ot money. Nhey had 'thirty years to rum"
they were sec0fed by pledges of import and
export duties both principal and interest
were free from taxation they bore SIX per
cent interest, payable half yearly, and the
coupons were equal to coin "by law" On
the day on which these bonds were TO have
been sold, Memminger's star was very,
clearly in the ascendant, for just before it,
in time for the news to reach Richmond on
that day, the re bells had gained great VIC
tories. Johnston had pounded Sherman
terribly, and then, '.by : ruse,' gotten him
into Resaca-and left him there. Lee had
just driven Grant from the Wilderness to
six-of the victories that Lee had discoursed
Of in his general order of the l4th, were
won or that very 18th day Of May. RichI
mond was Of course jubilant on that day,
and the people wanted the new bonds aw-
fully, and yet Memminger has since an
nounced to the rebel Congress that "mili-
tary necessities prevented the SALE" Alas
for Memminger! This means that nobody
would buy the bonds. Perhaps the people
in Richmond didn't believe in the victo-
ries. Stupid people! But if Memminger
will send his bonds to London they will
buy them there.-N. Y. Herald.

F.. v. F.-"A Free Vote or Fight il
the cry of the Kentucky Confederate DEM
ocrats. 1t means the control Of the ballot
boxes by the Confederates, and freedom to
the rebels to vote, or q rebellion In Ken

object no tip terms. But the
fghtAG6 come first - il the proper order
ofthiags it should. Foythe terms on which
the election 10 70 b held ought to be pre-
yiously arranged; and If fighting is re-
quired to settle them, the fighting should
take the precedence, 90 that the election
may be done in decency, order and peace.
John Morgan has already begun the free
vote-or-fight canvass. with about two thou
sand Kentucky rebel vagabonds, all voters
under the F. v. F. platform.
We know not whether Morgan has in.
augurated the canvass under directions
from the +. v. +. party in Kentucky, or
whether his cooperation is only coinci-
,dence, growing cut of correspondence in
principle andsympathy in feeling. But we
doubt il his illustration Of the free-vote. Or
fight platform will greatly strengthen that
party in Kentucky. Arttul politicians are
aware that party may be damaged by be-
ginning the election canvass too early. It
Is evidentthat Morgan il not : shrewd poll
tician, or he would have known that party
platforms are made rather for ornament
than execution. This early commence
ment Of the canvass, and that, too, in the
proper order in which fighting and voting
should come, if there Is to be fighting, and
this candid exemplifcatiOn Of Confederate
Democratic principles, will probably give
q peaceable election and it will enable the
people to vote intelljgently.-Cn. Gusette.

Who SUPPORTS Mn. L1NCoLN.-The
New York Evening Post explains the pop
ular demand for Mr.. Lincoln's reelection
as follows:
I'm the first place, he is popular with
the plain people, who believe him honest,
with the rich people, who believe him safe,
with the soldiers, who believe him their
friend, and with religious people, who be-
lieve him to have been specially raised
up for this crisis; and, in the second place,
because many Of the thieving and corrupt
scoundrels Of the political news, who
know the fact Of his popularity, have eag-
success"
If the plain people, the rich, the religious
the soldiers, and the politians, the honest
and the dishonest are for him, who shall
stand against him.

LIBERTY.-Says q Copperhead oracle:
"If to love liberty, and respect the guar
antics of liberty, II to be CopDerhead,
then are three-fourths Of the American
people copperheads."
There il no boldness In that assertion
You might have thrown in the remaining
fourth, and still been perfectly safe.
All men love liberty. All men who ever
lived were lovers Of liberty-for them.

gers" increase the stock, and buy and sell
such ebony merchandise at discretion.-
Copperheads are a. fond Of liberty % reb-
els, though they don't make quite 20 heavy
sacrifices to secure it.
Every man who ever lived esteemed lib-
erty good thing-for himself Most men
have wished it extended also to their kim
dred, their fellows, their set, their clan.
their race. Up to this point, ''there il
nothing new under the sun," The Slave

The American Revolution claimed an en-.
tirely different basis. 1--WE struggle for the
rights Of Human Nature was one Of its
earliest and noblest declarations. 1--WE
hold these truths to be self-evident," says
Thomas Jefferson in the immortal Decla-
ration Of Independence, ''that all men are
created equal: that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain nalienable rights:
that among these are life, Hbcrty," &C., &c.
Such is the Revolutionary American idea
Of liberty-broad, generous, unselfish, uni
versal. It differs radically from the cor

perhead as well. And we fear that ''three-
