AUSTRIAN EVACUATION OF VENECE-AN
EXCITING Scene was trampling OF
FEET along the narrow passage beside my hotel
,t o'clock this morning. AS the footballs
orev fainter and fainter, there was a hoarse
uord of command, and shurrying forward OF
,be rear most files Then there was a dead
silence again, and we had the last of the Aus
,riaps in Venice AT 5 O'Clock / found the
National Guard iu possession Of St. Marks, the
field pieces at the corner of the duca palace
had been taken away, and group Of shivering
snectators had collected under the colonade,
where not sign Of the iron ratings could now
be detected. It was very cold-cold even for
au October night in England, but there was
clear starlight overhead, and promise, Of fine
weather during the fustival How we'll That
Dronise was fulfilled, ana how the first day Of
freedom was as bright and cheerful as the most
sanguine could have hoped, Venice will long
remember. By S clock the city was partially
decked with tricolor flags, for public impatience
would not be restrained, and by $50 there was
40 immense concourse Of people assembled on
the Place of St. Mark, With every eye bent
upon the tail red flag g-staffs of the old Republic
4 space had been cleared Immediately around
their pedestals, and a hollow square formed by
the National Guard kept open this space. AT
the foot Of each flagstaff was u huge tricolor
bearing the Cross Of Savoy and a royal crown
upon its centre, and ready bent for hosting.
More More and more people came; the minutes
we're counted with breathless ca gerness. Now
there was murmur aad clapping Of hands.
The first stroke Of 9--the second. In the
name Of United Italy, hoist away. ''Bravo !!
bravo! Thank God !" cry the people near me,
Our martyrs are with US this morning, . said
white haired gentleman, turning aside to
conceal his sobs, whilst the boys throw up their
caps and shout, Long live the King As
at Verona, it is the old folks who are most at
feeted Wave out upon the breeze, stately
aag and assure them that it is not dream. =
But they need no assurance An exultant
thunder of human voices has drowned the
sount of the music, and presently those antique
palaces, which are awaking to renewed life,
echo back the still louder thunder OF artillery.

DIsCoURAGING EMIGRATION. The Poland
ers who arrived in this county for the purpose
ofsettling, and are now located on the Decker
farm, we're met by busy todies in town, who
had no business of their own to attend to-, and
very disinterestedly informed that the lands
upon which they were to locate were the poor
est in Virginia, that they could not make u
living upon them, and all that sort of thing.
The Polanders wendcd their way to their
new homes under very dscouraging circum-
stances, but we are glad to learn from General
IOchman, that after a personal examination,
they expressed themselves not only as satisfied,
but pleased. ~ rs .s.slas.4o 7rel (
We regretted to find the General suffering
from the effects of fall on Friday, but do not
anticipate any serious results 1@ as ~ es&s~
The land upon which the colony has settled
not rich land, but when it is borne in mind
that it was sold at So an acre, none of the
money in hand, and credit running to the end
Of SIX years, it cannot be viewed as a very hard
bargain. AS lar as ontside remark IS concern-
ei, it would be we'll to remember that no farm
Ras ever sold in this county that gave entire
atstaction TO everybody particularly those
Who had no interest, whatever, in the sale;
neither has there ever been an improvement
projected that did not call forth dolorous plants
lrou the same crew, who never do anything
themselves, and arc equally unwilling that
other people should do for them. .--Frede1ich:s-
