When Admiral Farragnt was at Genoa,
little girl, eight years old, arrived at the door
of the American Consulate, where the hero of
Mobile spent a few hours. The little girl said
she wanted to see the Admiral and when she
was taken to him she handed him bouquet
and said in Italian her father had served IN
the American war and had been killed IN
Louisiana Her mother had died after her re-
turn to Italy, and she was now alone with her
grandmother. The Admiral kissed lle li''io
Girl and made her a handsome present
g5g-The peace of Europe may oe disturbed
at any moment, and the shock OF arms would
scarcely leave the map of the continent as it
now exists. Spain, forgetful of the past when
she was mistress of the Old World and the
New, but true to her later instincts, already
hastens to place herself under the tutelage of
France, forgetful, too, that the proud Castlian
dynasty was once replaced by crowned Bou-
naparte.
eB- OF President Lincoln, Thad. Stevens
said: ale was eminently a fr0nk man. He
once rated me soundly for speech made on
the conduct of the war, saying was too fast,
and would ruin all. |, of course thought him
too slow, and we had pretty hot discussion.
Just about year later he sent for me, l went
to him. 1t was a hot day, and he was lying
about on sofas and chairs, in disjointed way
he had. 1 knew him by the fragments so was
able to reconstruct him. Mr. Stevens he said,
4 have just been reading speech of yours.

COMMISSIONER s.-Information
was received at Washington, on the I'd,
from New York, stating that the war
rants issued by U. S. Commissioner Gut
man, at the instance of Solicitor Binck-
ley, Of the internal revenue bureau, i'll
clude one for the arrest Of Commissioner
Rollins. The understanding in the i'll
ternal revenue bureau is he is charged
with dishonest transactions in connection
with ex-Collector Smith and Others
The Commissioner regards the proceed
ing against him as founded altogether
on false premises, inasmuch as ex-Col-
lector Smith was removed on his own
recommendation Haggerty's distillery
was sold nnder his instructions-of the
remaining two persons one was dismiss
ed from the service as inspector, for
cause, and the other denied reoppaint-
ment after trial of sixty days.
The latest advices from New York
are to the effect that the investigation
into the charges preferred against Com
missioner Rollins, his assistant, and par
ties in that city, is to be resumed to-mor-
row. The specific allegations upon which
the warrants for the arrest OF the parties
referred to were issued, will then proba-
bly, be made public.
Commissioner Rollins has telegraphed
to N. Y. that he will not appear either
personally or by counsel, in answer to
the warrant issued for his arrest at the
instance ofCellector Binekley. The rea-
son for this is understood to be the en-
tire absence of facts on which to found the
charge against him. The President and
Secretary McCulloch seem to be greatly
annoyed at the proceeding, and the Pres
ident sent his private secretary this
evening to Mr.. Rollins to explain the
affair-was none of the Presidents insti-
cation, and he regretted its occurrence
Deputy Commissioner Horland also de-
elines to go to New York in obedience
to the warrant.

Was that Thunder 2

The first boom of the campaign artillery has
been heard. Vermont has spoken, and the key
she has given, is the one upon which the music
of the campaign is to be pitched. Her politi-
cal faith is as immovable and mistaken as her
everlasting rocks and mountains. This vote
is of no uncertain sound and our democratic
friends who have been telling us about reac-
ton will be slow to point to the Green Moun-
tain State for the confirmation OF their decia-
rations. Coppcrhcad presses, and the leaders
of the democratic party, have voclferated That
tbe revolution of sentiment had been such that
the first elections to take place would show us
that Seymour and Blair stock was at prem
um. In a few days more Maine will speak,
and she will echo back to Vermont an increas-
ed Republican majority in the lumber State,
and make the heart of the nation glad at the
frightening prospect before us. Then Iowa
will be heard followed by Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and each of these will send back to Yer
mont and Maine, greeting, increased Republi-
can majorities. Then, when the general en-
gagement is brought on in November, under
the banner of Grant and Colfax, the Republi-
can majOrities in all these States will be more
increased, and the menacing and revolutionary
party will find the folly of their investment
in fighting stock, and the madness of the effort
to foster and strengthen sentiment that pro-
misses nothing but renewal of the bloodshed
and carnage from which we have so recently
emerge |. Could any other result be counted up
on a? Can party that so shamclessly join
hands with unrepentant rebels, and steps upon
platform of notification and reputation as
its standpoint for the fight, hope otherwise
than to be defeated, unless a majority of the
American people have become disloyal and
dishonest? The stand taken by the Demo-
cratic party in the National Convention, fol-
lowed by unmistakeable evidences from the
chiefs of the rebellion that the fires of hostility
only sleep for the hour, and that their purpo-
ses are notification and war in the future has
aroused the people of the North, and as goes
Vermont, so will go every. Northern State
whose people were loyal during the rebellion.
However stunning this first vote of the cam
paign, we should, perhaps congratulate the de-
mocracy, that the visitation has come SO time
ly. Their bluster, and and assumption of con-
idence, were turning their noddles and they
were fast making fools Of themselves The
lesson, we trust, will be Of service to them in
the way ofteaching them better manners, and in
preparing them in measure for further & more
mortifying reverses, to be confirmed and crown
ed by an utter route in November Frank
Blairs armed resistance doctrine, seems not to
be popular at this time in the Green Mountain
State whose gallantry in the use of the bullet
is not outdone by the use of the ballot

THE REBEL GEN. FoRREsT.-On Fri
day last, a correspondent of the Cincin-
natti Commercial called upon Gen. For
rest, at his office In Memphis, and told
him that he desired to have an inter
view with him, and proposed to report
the conversation. Gen. Forrest had no
opinions that he desired to conceal, and
talked very freely. That which he said
gravely concerns the public, for he has,
perhaps, greater capacity for guerilla
warefare than any other man in this
country, and he is without question, the
most influential man in the state of Ten
nessee. Gen. Forrest said the hu Klux
organization was a reality. 1t was forty
thousand strong in Tennessee, and over
half a million strong in the South. So
rigid was its diciplin, and SO decided
was its military character, that men,
bers of it had been court-martialed and
shot for violating orders. He would
consider the calling out of the militia of
Tennessee a declaration of war, and if
the war commenced there would not he
a Radical left alive in that State. He
could himself, raise 10000 men in five
days; and the inference is irresistible
that he proposes to take the field with
his forty thousand men if the country
is not governed accorning to his plea
