Probable Italian Campaign.

The London Times is of the opinion
that the campaign about to open in
Northern Italy Will differ from all pre-
vious ones, by beginning on the west
at the Mincio, where those have gen
orally left off, and by having its prin-
icpal field on the south on the Pc. 1t
thinks that Austria will act almost
wholly on the defensive, and it adds:
"By crossing the Pc at Ponte La
goscuro, where a large body of pio-
neers and Il bridge equipage had al
ready been sent on the 18th, or at
some other point to the east or west,
and the advancing on RoviRp and
Monselice toward Padua, an Italian
army would find itself betw&ian TIE
garrisons of the Quadrilateralu UP THE
left and such forces rs may 'bG con
centrated at Venice ON the right.
Such an army should be mustered up
in sufficient strength to enable it to
mask the strong place on one side,
while it turns its main efforts against
the other. Were it to venture on al
onset on Venice, it would naturally
rely on the cooperation of the Italian
/ feet, which, it is said, with 1929 guns
and 26,0SS men, has been assembled
on the waters of laramie under Per.
sano. Should preference be given tC
an attack on Legnago and Verona, &
diversion might be made on the wes
by simultaneous effort against Pes
chiera and Mantua.
1t is well to bear in mind, mean
while, that the fortresses on the Adige
and especially Leguago, are said tc
present less insuperable difficulties
than those on the Mincio, as the grea
strength of Austria in that region, af
ter all, always lies in the unapproach
able lake-city, Mantua. In all these
attempts, which would certainly ties
the bravery and endurace of the Ital
ian soldiery to the utmost, the army
would be most efficiently aided by tn,
desultory movements of the Volun
teers, who could either harass the gar
risons of the Quadrilateral by bold de
scents from their Alpine Businesses
or aid to the taking of Venice by land
ings at the mouths of the lagunes.
Thus the campaign, which on for
mer occasions proceeded from west t.
east, would at this present junctur'
move from the south to north, and tn
conflict would be chiefly brought t,
the plans of Royigo, Este, Vicenzo
and Padus, a comparatively untriet
battlefield no less to the Austrian
than to their foes

EMIGRATION TO Brazil "A great deal
was said last summer in the Southern
papers, by the disappointed rebels,
about emigrating to Brazil, and leav-
ing this country to the tender mercies
of the Yankees and Abolitionists The
plan was so favorably regarded by
many residents in the Gulf States that
a colony was started for that purpose.
The principal idea was, that the dis
contented people wanted to go to some
country where slavery was allowed.
Professor Agassiz has recently written
letter on the subject, which places it
in IA very unfavorable light. He states
that the laws of Brazil establish many
restrictions and distinctions very I'M
favorable to the stranger, and that it
is very difficult to establish absolute
equality with the inhabitants who
have long resided there, or even the
defendants OF the older races. There
are also a great many difficulties in
the way of acquiring real estate, and
the delays and formalities thrown
around it almost make it prohibition.
Another difficulty is the Intervention
of the public in the private affairs OF
people, and this tutilage is often car
ried SO far that it takes the form OF
petty tyranny. AS long as this order
of things exists, he is confident that a
great emigration to Brazil will pever
fake place. And yet he regards the
Climate and the soil the most favorable

OLD LAND PATENTS OF 1S12.-Circu-
lars have been scattered through New
England, addressed to the heirs of
soldiers OF the war of 1872, Offering to
procure copies of original land pa
tents for $50 each, and stating the
value of the land. Heirs are entitled
to copies of such patents ON applica-
ton to the General Land Office, at
Washington, aclthom charge and, in
almost all such cases, the lands were
conveyed by the soldiers when living,
or have been irrecoyerably lost by
non-payment of fifty years taxes. We
hope that this paragraph may be gen
orally copied to prevent further losses
by such heirs. - Boston JOernql

We are authorized to say that the

is not only unjust, but in the highest

MONITORS. -The problem of the sea-
going qualities of our monitors has
been satisfactorily determined, and
there is now no doubt of our ability,
in case of foreign war, to send fleet
of them to Europe, even in the dead
OF winter. The arrival at Queenstown
of the Miantonomoh settles the aues-
ton in favor of the monitors. The
Navy Department is in receipt of dis
patches giving an account of her trip.
The passage was made in eleven days
and ten hours. The average run per
day was one hundred and sixty-eight
miles, and the progress was very uni
form. The heavy weather did not APP
pear to affect the monitor, either in
speed or by rolling, for while the 9TH
er vessels lurched about and their
progress was checked by heavy seas,
she went along comparatively undis-
turbed or unchecked. This was also
the experience of the Monadnock in
her trip to Valparaiso.

gtsS~ In speech at recent Union
Convention in Ohio, Hon Fred Has
saurek said that the Democratic party
had not accepted and does not cog
nize the results of the war. He points
out the glaring Inconsistencies of its
action as follows:
at has not even denied after the
war what its Southern allies claimed
before the war-the pretended right Of
secession. Its platform has but one
plank-obedience to its Southern
masters. When the rebels attempted
to break up our country, the Demo
cratic leaders insisted that we should
let them 90 ont. Now that the South
erners wish to regain political power,
and will condescend to rule us again,
the Democracy insists that we must
let them come in! Yesterday the reb-
els wanted to go out; hence, yester-
day the Democratic platform was:
"lou haze no right TO keep them IN p
To-day the rebels want to come in
again to rule the country which they
could not destroy. Hence, to-day the
Democratic platform is: "You haze
no right TO keep them out !" Yesterday,
the children of Vallandigham swore
that the rebels should 90 out to-day,
they swear they shall come an. The
South commands, and the Democratic
party obeys. 1t has no other princi-
pies or sentiments but the whims and
wishes of its reble masters"
