THE DEFEAT OF GARIDALDl.

Garibaldi, fighting bravely for Italian I'M
ity, has been defeated by the French, indi-
reetly but strongly aided by the Italian gov
eminent and the Italian army. Italy is now
practically bu, a province OF France, Victor
Emanuel, styled king Of Italy, being in re-
atty but the satrap Of Napoleon III.
The detea. Of Garibaldi and his brave vol
un.eers would have been impossible Blu. for
France. The Papal government could not
have stood against him for a single day, or
an hour. That government. therefore, az .
temporal power, res its existence again, as
i. has done before, to the bayonets Of ths
French. Il is unpopular in Italy. There
is no doubt whatever that the great body Of
the Italian people fully and enthusiastically
sy~mpathized with Garibaldi ; that at this
hour they denoun9e Victor Emanuel and
his government, for subserviency to France.
l, is no, to be supposed, therefore, that the
defeat of Graibaldi is the permanent defeat
Of the cause Of which he is the grca. and
splendid representative. His defeat is but
one OF those checks with which every great
cause is liable to be met. He ma be or.
rested and ANONYMOUSLY placed in chains,
but the grand ideas that he represents are,
thank Heaven, Beyond the control Of the
bastard despot and liberticide who, having
reached a throne through blood and crime,
expects to uphold his power in France BY
the continuance Of the abject religious ser,
yitude OF medieval times.
Those ideas are, first, the complete unity
Of the Italians, and Rome their capital I'd.
The emancipation Of the people from the
thralldom Of religious supersti;ions. The
dream Of the Italians that Rome shall be
their capital must be fulfilled. If it were
the capital Of a nation Of twenty millions Of
people, instead Of a huge religious house for
popes, and cardinals, and bishops, and
priests to do their mummeries in, the pride
ana ,:,c-s.n Of theelder time might come again.
Making The L.,.naii City the capital of uni,
ted Italy would of itself rcc.-'n me religious
emancipation of the people. Incsse ile::s
are beyond the control Of Napoleon. The
cowardiee Of Victor Emanuel cannot bring
about their permanent defeat.
The Italians are now having their times
that try their souls. They arc in the gloom
and sorrow, and suffering of their Valley
Forge. Bnt it would be monstrous to be-
lieve that they cannot work out their "
liberty. II may be that the defeat Of Carl
baldi itself by the forces Of . foreign nation
may arouse the people now TO the assertion
Of their rights. But whether now or next
year or the next, his cause is the cause Of q
great people and OF man, and cannot be
more than temporarily defeated. - uscatine

As the time approaches for the meeting
Of the next General Assembly Of Iowa, the
question Of appointments to the various re-
sponsible positions in the Senate and House
becomes Of ~interes. to the people. No leg
isla,ive body can perform its labors smooth
y and economically without efficient clerks.
Good clerks, like poets, are born, not made,
and i. is therefore somewhat dangerous to
experiment, when tried and faithful men are
1t hand.
We understand that ]. N. Wcart. Esq,
Of this city, will be . candidate before the
Senate for the position of Secretary. In our
opinion the Senate would find in Mr.. Wears
. most efficient and courteous officer, whose
industry, urhanitv, and above all, whose ex-
p~erience in the peculiar work required.
would insure a faithful and satisfactory per.
Torrance Of the duties OF the responsible po-
si,ion Of Secretary. M. weart served the
the Senate Of the last General Assembly in
the position Of lst Assistant Secretary with
great acceptance. His experience, acquired
at that term, would prove invaluable to the
mex. Senate. Mr.. Wesrt has had an honor.
able army experience, having been the FIRST
man in New Jersey to enlist " for the war
!. ssl. With bis valuable experience and
updous,ed qualifications and the cordial en-
dorsement % those members of the Senate
Who hold over from the last General Assem-
blv. Mr.. weart cannot fail to command .
ready support in the Senate for the position
of Secretary.

Great LoAO Discovered.

During the last few days Mr.. Vim. Kelly
has discovered an immense body o! mineral
20. rather five immense bodies, for the Gre
vice leads to Eve different caves, al OF which
are :. chock full" Of mineral. The crevice
which leads to these caves is but . continue
ton Of the lower drift of,he shaft from which
90 much mineral has been raised during the
past tive years. Some weeks since Mr.. Kelly
become convinced that there we're +" caves

then working. Without saying even q

ing and crawling. Aobu: TWO hundred feet
from the shat, eastwardly, ne hrose through
into the frst "caye," which is e,eniy-
eigh. feet long, about twenty feet high, and
some ten or twelve feet wide. From the
walls and cap.rock Of this cave, mineral pro.
trudes in great chunks-it sticks ont every
where. The cave narrows to q crevice again,
and through this Mr.. Kelly crawled, and
reached another cave of nearly the same
dimensions as the former. And here is min.
eral ~again-above, around. beneath. An
experienced surveyor Of mines, who has sur.
yeyed some OF the greatest lodes ever dis
covered here, says tina. the "show' in these
caves is the largest be ever saw. At least
one million pounds Of mineral is in sight.
Then there are " chimneys" full Of il be-
sides, aud i. crops out all along the marrow
c~sevice.
One would think there was mineral enough

no Nr. Kelly crawled through another
narrow "crack,n till be came to the 'cave Of
caves There is no estimating the mineral
in this place. The cave is nearly two huns
dred feet long and tweuty-one feet bigh-the
excct width we did not learn, these things
have been kept d~ark--though it is quite vide.
The lesien wealth fairly glitters everywhere
ia hi. c.,e. zone can't pick up q stone for

has crawled 10 it. II is estimated that con.
siderably over . million Of pounds Of miner
al is in sight here. East Of these are two
other caves, Of the extent of which We
know nothing, but it is said that they are
both very richly stored with ore. Of course
It is useless to attempt IT, compute the
value OF these discoveries, but We DO be.

We have had frequent mention in our
news columns Of this case, recently tried Mt
Des Moines, and resulting in the conviction
Of the prisoner for the murder of Bashorc
and Woodruff, enrolling officers, in 1864.
The Burlington Hack Eye learns from Hon.
NJ. d. Browning, United States District AT.
torney, who conducted the prosecution, that
the evidence in the case was so convincing
that the jury were unanimous as to the pris-
oner's guilt before leaving the box. Those
who had knowledge of this bloody assassin
alton at the time Of its occurrence will &c.
member that there was some mystery as 70
The source OF Gleasoa's wound. The pris>
c.er claimed hal he was a friend OF the
marshals, and tha. the same volley that NOR.
tally wounded Capt. Bashore also shattered
his (Gieasons 81 leg. Unfortunately for this
wonnd was in the back, Gleason's was in
front. AS Gleason. after Bashore was down
and struggling with his fatal wound, club.
bed him with his gun. one theory was that
the gun was discharged, its contents enters
ing Gieason's thigh. But. as the ball went
downward at the point of entering the aesh,
this theory seems hardly tenable. At the
time of making the attack Gleason had a
single barreled pistol strapped TO his right
side, and it ia Mr.. Browains's opinion, after
hearing all the testimony, that Gleason's
wound was caused BY the discharge of his
own pistol while he was in the act OF beating
Bashore over the head, who was lying pros
trase on the ground. The other deputy mar.
shall, Woodruff, a pleasant and amiable
young man, was shot twice through the
head, and two or three times through the
body and limbs, the ferocious assassins
seeming to have taken delight in Kidding
his body after life was extinct. Gleason 10
now under sentence to be hung on the 9Th
Of December. He has been returned to ~
penitentiary st Fl. Madison. a petition has
been circulated asking the President to com.
mute his punishment to imprisonment for
life. On the way down the prisoner told the
United States Marshal that he did not want
anything of the kind done tina, he much
preferred being hung 10 spending his days
in the penitentiary! Gleason, though not a
leader in this cruel and a.rocious tragedy,
was q willing helper, pretending even 10 be
a friend Of the doomed men tina, he might
more certainly be,ray them into the hands
of his associate assassins. Two brothers BY |
the name Of Fieenor were without doubt the
principals. They both made their escape,
and are still, if living. wanderers and vaga.
bonds on the earth with the mark o. Cain
burned into their hearts. Their families are
still in Poweshiek county, and it is believed
that one OF both Of them were back during
the past summer.-Mascatine Journal.

A New Conjurer.


There is a Chinese conjuror in Pals in
whose feats excel even those of the Japan
ese. Galignani says:
A most astounding Chinese conjuror,
Ling Loop, is to be seen at the Hippo
dromc, or the Chinese Theatre, at the Ex-
hibition. He swallows a sword--long as
LIE sabre, lie sabre de mon perez or as the
famed weapon which Alfred bids the
knight cast into the shining level, of the
Nicer. What becomes Of this epiglottis !?
Is the jugular vein made of es triples, or
the coat of his stomach of caoutchouc !?
He must indeed be dura lila, since they
take thus quietly their conve rsion into a
sword-sheath. Next he swallows eggs
after the sword an egg is mere trille.
The shells you will say, well, they might
incommode US, but after the swo had
been rammed down into his intestines by
a thHty-pound shot, he does not stick at
trifes. He smokes a cigarette, performs
a variety of antics, and then. sure as eggs
are eggs, he proves Button to be wrong,
that man is oviparous by bringing them
forth from out of the way corner in his
inside. The sarans and doctors admit that
they are mystifed. They have held their
opinion on Ling Loop, and can find no
scientific solution of the problem, and they
broke up their conclave by subscribing tc
the very general opinion that he is the
most astounding of all possible conjurors.'
