Preparations for a Battle Before
Home-Garibaldrs Position and
Strength-Facts and Rumors.


New YORK, November IA special to
the Herald, dated October 30, says Carl
baldi's camp is at Castle Yuibeliers, five
miles distant from Rome, and that he
has under his command three thousand
soldiers, who are well armed and have
plenty of provisions. The General has
no artillery except two brass guns, taken
from the Papal forces during the fight at
Monterondo. They have no tents, and
there is very little discipline maintained,
and the rear is unguarded Garibaldi's
headquarters are in full view of Rome,
and there are no Papal troops between
us and the city. The soldiers Of the
Pope, who have been gradually and
steadily falling back for some days,
have retired within the line of
Notifications of the city. Before the re-
tirement from the field, they burned all
the bridges over the river. The Roman
peasants residing in the neighborhood of
the contending forces take no interest
in the progress of affairs; they are
engaged at the pillow and tending their
hocks on the plain the same as usual.
Garibaldi's men do not interfere with
them. Eight men of Garibaldi's army
are to be executed tomorrow, by
sentence Of court martial, having been
convicted of thieviug at Monterondo.
The men Of the force are very enthusiasts
tic in their hopes as to the result of the
movement on Rome; but the weather is
very cold during nights and this lessons
their patriotism aud endurance not a lit
tie. Recruits come in at the average
of six hundred daily. Arms and provi.
sions are had in large quantities from
the province of Peoni. There has been
no actual engagement since the fights at
Viterbo and Monterondo. The priests
fought bravely at Monterondo. After
the battle Garibaldi's officers begged him
to shoot at once all the prisoners taken
in the action, but he refused promptly,
and with determination.
The French have not arrived at Rome
yet Signor Acceoli was not killed at
Viterbo, as at first reported. Garibaldi's
sons, Menotti aud Reccatti, are both in
the camp with their father. They all
sleep on the floor Of an old monastery.
Garibaldi will not advance nearer to
Rome until he has 10000 men at least
under his command. He is to day
engaged in making an ex minalion Of
the ruins Of the bridges destroyed by the
FIRE Of the Papal troops in camp. The
General generally retires at about 8
o'clock in the evening, and rises
al FIVE in the morning Il is said that
he intends TO occupy Montermarce i'm
mediately. Two thousand Papal troops
well offered and handled in the field,
could destroy Gsribaldi's force BY assault
on the rear Of bis position. Members Of
the Insurreetion Committee are here
consulting with Garibaldi The General
regards il as an act Of madness to attack
Rome with the force now under him.
The Italian troops posted on the frontier
are in fne condition and advancing.

the recent remarkable political canvass
in Ohio, we're the great mass of foreign
born citizens, especially lrishmen.-
Cincinnati Commercial
The Cincinnati Yankees would put the
Irish under the heel of the negro, If they
could. When they raised the Know
nothing storm in the name of liberty,
they were less true to the country than
the foreign born population. Liberty
and the soul Of an Irishman are synony-
nous. The expressions of the country
are not the work Of the Irish people.
The puritan Yankees who fed here to
avoid oppression, are the only men on
the continent who desire to tyranize
over others.
The Commercial makes one ingenious
suggestion-that as Congress is working
outside the Constitution, it just set aside
all forms and quit debating and sticking
about small matters and assume the
duties of the electoral college, and elect
Thad Stevens, refusing seat to all who
will not vote for him. That will make
short work and save trouble and risk.

The President declaring that his visits to
Raleigh and Boston seem to him the work OF
an overruling Providence, and denouncing
tyrannical majority-that majority being the
loyal people of the United States; the Sec.
retary of State declaring that after Mr.. john
son had spoken it seemed sacrilege for him
to open his lips; the Governor of Maryland
perverting facts and insulting freedom by
defining the loyal plan of Reconstruction as
an effort to transfer the whole South to the
custody of the negroes-these form sad
spectacle for the American people. The
speeches made at Mr. Johnson's reception by
the Maryland Constitutional Convention
show how radically he and his Cabinet are
opposed to the nation. These gentlemen
seem not to have the slightest conception of
their true relations to the country. MIR.
johnson said that only the other day it
would have been impossible" for him to
have gone as far North as Boston; and in
Baltimore Mr. Seward actually asserted, as
one of the Presidents merits, that " he had
laid down the sword which he might have
used to cut down the people over whom he
had been elected to rule" Does Mr. Seward
really believe this nonsense9 Does Mr.
johnson think himself martyr who has es-
capped martyrdom, or make virtue OF his
kindness in refusing dictatorship ?-Nep
York Tribune.
This is all true. It is not overstated.-
And now, gentlemen of the North, what are
you going to do2 President johnson has
no respect for Congress, and he is deliberate
ly disregarding the will of the nation. He
is acting with copperheads and rebels, and
thus perpetuating disunion. What does the
Tribune advise2 Continued strife and dis
union may not be very injurious to the North
at this time, but it is completing the ruin OF
the poor South. Gentlemen of the North,
you suppressed the rebellion in the name of
God, and of Liberty and Justice, can't you
reconstruct us2 Where is your wisdom p
Where your nerves We need more caustic,
and less of the altar of roses. We need more
of the spirit of Phil Sheridan, and less OF
that sickly sentimentality which would sac
rifee the true and the loyal by weak conces-
sions to arrogant, unreconstructed traitors.
The tribune wields great influence. Oh fol
full measure of its old pluck and fire Let
it talk to the Congress. If that body is not
quite up to the mark, positive, unreseryed
assurances of support from the Tribune will
steady and confirm the faltering The 7r;6
une can be, if it will, and let it indeed be
the Tribune of the People" rhe people
are ahead Of the politicians. They want the
Union restored, and they will have it restor-
ed, NO matter who or what stands in the
way. This purpose is Enthusiastically evinced
In their condemnation of the course of the
President on the one hand, and their enthu
siastic approval on the other of the course o.
