The Movements Of Garibaldi.

| The independence contains the follow
\ ing respecting the movements Of Carl
baldi, which il, true, appears to be of the
most extraordinary character
After having occupied Sondrio and
Bermio in the Valtellina, he cleared the
neck of the Stelvio, which separates the
valley of the Adda from the Upper
Adige. Having entered the Austrian
! Tyrol he did not, however, descend the
Adige toward Botzen in order to strike
! Verona on the flank by Trent and Rover.
edo; he pushed forward his advanced
posts to Glurus; then crossing the noun
| tains which divide the Adige and the Inn
he descended to Finstermunz, near the
frontier of the Lower Engadine. From
Finstermnnz, unless the events which
have Just taken place on Italian ground
induce him to return to Italy, he may
advance by Innsbruck and Stazberg into
the Austrian Duchies themselves. At
Milan they say that il is his intention TO
push for Munich
Commenting on this Information the
Independence adds:
We are unable to see the utility OF
the one or the other OF these operations,
and, as they remove him to great dis
tanee from his operations, we must wait
for the further development of his plan

Gen. Swayne, of the Freedmen's Bu-

Alabama The Montgomery Adeertiser
of the 7th, says: THE trustees of the
NJ. L. Church South, by deed to
the property, owned the church in Hunts
Vile, which, under the control Of the
Methodists, was used for the benefit Of
the colored members and congregation.
1t passed from its proper control during
the war, bat recently under orders from
Maj Gen. Thomas was restored TO its
rightfnl possessoA. Gen. Swsyne, how
ever, has again tnrned the property over
to the negro congregation, which is in
charge of Rev. A. Lakin, of the Northern
Methodist Church Such action is not
at all calculated to bring about an era Of
good feeling. General Swayne no doubt
thought he was carrying out the policy
of the government in the matter, but in
his zeal to serve the freedmen he has
exposed himself to the condemnation Of
every law abiding man in the country,
and will hardly be sustained by the
proper authorities" The Huntsville IN

The Convention.

The great event has happened.
Whether it will bring forth the fruits
expected. by its advocates, few
months will decide. We opposed it
in its incipiency and in its progressive
formation. We believed it unwise
and impolitic for the South to COM
nit herself. TIE Rubicon is now
passed, however, and while we are
still doubtful of the issue it may
spring upon us, we will aid as far as
our humble influence goes any whole
some tendencies that may result from
the Philadelphia Convention. We
are not disappointed that the Conven-
tion incorporated some of the very
Objectionable features to which we so
often directed attention, and which
formed part of that very National
Union Club upon which we announced
the call was made.
There are numbers of us who will
always congratulate ourselves that no
vote Of ours helped to form that Con-
vention, but we did not expect to find
such friends of the measure as the
Columbia IhPoir raising serious OBJ
icctions to the little episode of South
Carolina and Massachusetts going into
the WiuWam in fond cmhrocr What
is pnerile matter compared to that
other greater official act Of Southern
delegates solemnly declaring that
those who killed their sons, lrothers
and friends are worthy of Me.r graft
tude and money.
But not even for this Will We With
hold our sanction from evtrytling that
may grow out of the Convention. We
disclaim any part or lot however in
that act.
We hope the very highest cxpccta-
tions of the most sanguine friends Of
it may be realized. None will be
gratified more than VIC, at such re-
suit. If its main object, the defeat of
the Radicals, be effected, while VIC
shall ever rcpudiatc the principles de-
gradingto to us, upon which the Convcn-
tion was called, We may not regret
that it met. McC.
