FROM ITALY.
The Opposition Sustain the Ministry


FLORENCE, Oct. 1.-THE King is ex-
pected to pass several days at Marengo,
to witness military maneuvres.
The members of the Opposition party
in the Italian Chambers in caucus yester-
day voted unanimously to sustain the
Ministry in their plan for the unificatiou
of Italy.
The Pope to be Thrown on the Char
ity of the World.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times sends by telegraph
a statement that Italy is about invoke the
States having Catholic subjects to con-
tribute to the support of the Pope.
The Times correspondent says Gen.
Lamormora was to arrive Monday. He
would appoint the following Council
Minister of Interior, Giacourllie; Minister
of Finance, Braschi; Minister of Instruc
ton and Public Works, Bouacci.
Address from Victor Emanuel.
FLORENCE, Oct. lin reply TO a dep
utation from Rome who waited upon
King Victor Emanuel, yesterday, his
Majesty declared that the country, recon-
stituted through the unanimity of the
vote on the plebiscitum, rejoiced in the
unity of the kingdom, the triumph of
Justice, and the exchange of loyal Prov
ess. These, continued the King,
are the forces which have made
Italy master of her own territory.
So submit to you the result of the pie
biscitum. Transmit it to the Italian peo
ple-gathering after separation of cen
turtles in the one time capitol of the
world, she drives from the vestiges of
past greatness auspices of the future.
You will surround with respect the seat
of the spiritual domain, enthroned where
the Pagan eagles failed to reach. AS
King and Catholic guarantee liberty to
the Church, unity to Italy and independ-
ence to the POntiff.
A Great and subtle Influence Work
ing to Make the Pope Leave.
The following is cable special to the
Herald,
Our correspondent at Rome telegraphs
on the 10th that there is great aud subtle
influence working to induce the Pope to
leave Rome. He at present refuses on
the plea that, while he protests against the
usurpation of Italy and yields to force, he
still holds the dignity of the Bishop of
Rome, and cannot conscientiously aban-
don his diocese.
1t is probable the question of cash will
| prove most embarrassing to tie Pope.
Just before the entry of the troops of
| Italy he drew 4, 900, 000f from the public
treasury, giving his personal receipt, not
withstanding he had already accepted
$50, O0Of from the Italian Government for
his current expenses.
The pay of the Swiss Guard falls due
| this month, and last month is unpaid and
the two together rest on the Papal house
hald. Fears of embarrassment are likely
to compel him to compromise with Italy
Rome is crowded with visitors.

reached here on Sunday last. 1t is the de-
sign of Capt. c., as we learn, to visit and
inspect many of the distilleries of the dis
trict, and impartially to promote the inter-
est of the same in so far as it can be done
conformahly to the law and the revenue
regulations governing them The sour
mash still will especially receive his atten-
ton, and resurveys of the distllleries MAJ
be made. This is the season of tho year at
which this subject becomes one Of vast
importance to large number of our peo-
pie and producers. 1t has repeatedly been
said that no State in the Union possesses
such natural advantages and products for
the successful prosecution of this branch
of industry as does Tennessee. A large
amount Of labor and capital have been
successfully invested in it, and anything
removing complications and restrictions
not incompatible with the laws, will be so
much advantage 10 this peculiar branch Of
industry.
