MILAN, Italy, June 8, 1870.
The telegraph win have already conveyed to you
an outline Of the republican commotons IN Italy, so
that / will not attempt to give you information
which Will be stale before it arrives. The CORE
spondent who would fraternize with the bold, pro-
sressive spirit OF American journalism must con1ne
himself not to the relationof facts but to the I'M
preston of these facts he sees them manifested
on the thousand faces OF this many headed
monstern the people. For the rest-have
you ever seen sculptor modelS In the
studio OF the great Magn, perhaps the first
sculptor OF Italy, have the pleasure OF being an
honored guest and am allowed to enter the sancuna
sanstoa7ln, where the sculptor, surrounded by his
assistants ana with his living model-a rosy, olive
complexioned Italian before him-stamps his idea
on the yielding clay" Sometimes with single
stroke of the oddly shaped moulding stick he recalls
TO you the whole series Of movements that have pre-
coded the present movement OF repose. This is
genius and put Off the sandals from my feet before
the holy fire; yet at initiative point ar removed
it is truel let me try to give you hasty stroke OF
che pencil which shall recall the recent events lead
ing to the present Italian situation.
A band OF 200 insurgents, uniformed in torn red
snirts-rellcs Of more glorious battles in 1860 and
1857 in Sicily and the Tyrolslatey sailed out from
one Of the mountain Businesses OF Calabria, me-
nacng the little city OF Catanzaro. Surprised at
Filadel6a where they were byouacked for the night,
by detachment OF Italian troops, they surrendered
almost without resistance and were conducted TO
prison In the midst of population that had received
them with fright, and saw them DEPART II not with
Joy, certainly with indifference
SIN utaneousiy in the Tuscan marshes in the terri
tory of Grosseto, band OF nty supposed to be the
vanguard OF large republican army, presented
themselves before several small towns and de-
manded the muskets OF the National Guards. They
were refused, and the citizens In every Instance
armed themselves TO repel any attempt al violence.
Again news arrives from Reggo-in Emilia OF small
republican force which passed through that city
almost without bread, and were making rapid and
suspicious march that seemed hight or at least

The form Is neither beautiful nor new All the
sounding but empty phrases Of similar manifestoes in
1913 aDd 1865 repeated But their conception is
Lofty, and the sentiment which animates them noble
and generousa sentiment, in fact, to inspire every
Italian heart. Why do the Italians, whose malcon-
tents ON account of the heavy taxes which crush
them and whose general want or faith in the states

turn deaf ear TO these appeals to insurrectionS
The maniiestoes were headed by the Wen known
MaZzinian epigram ''GOd and the people!' They
proposed pass from the marshes TO the Pontitcal
States; they determined TO wipe away that which
they called the shame OF Montana; they pledged
themselves TO retake the field at the point where,
overcome by the French forces, Garibald abandoned

Perhaps because the Italian people, pass,onate'
ardent, mobile, has yet its moments OF good conf
mon sense when 1t refuses to give the rem TO those
unbridled and fiery animals that are called the heart
and imagination. The men who by the power or
