Yankee was a Lieut Burns, with a picket of five men, who at the time were in a house at the side of the road. Instantly forming his purpose, Capt. Morgan loosened his revolvers, but to hid his Federal overcoat so as to conceal his own uniform, and galloped up to the picket. "How are matters, Lieut Burns?" said Captain Morgan, addressing the Yankee officer. "All right, Colonel," responded Burns. "Where are your men?" asked Morgan. "In the house there," replied Burns. "Nice way of attending to your duty, sir. Consider yourself under arrest, and hand me your sword and pistol," said Capt. Morgan. His order was promptly obeyed, and Capt Morgan then directed Burns to call out his men singly. After requiring them to hand to him their sabres and guns, he ordered them to march. "We are going the wrong direction, Colonel," said Burns, after they had started. "No, It's all right. I am Captain Morgan!" said the brave partisan to his now thoroughly frighte

The accounts of Garibaldi's visit to Marsala record an extraordinary scene of patriotic excitement. Garibaldi, in the course of his speech, several times made use of the phrase "Rome or death," to which the people responded each time, "Yes, Rome or death!" He spoke in violent terms of Napoleon, and said "We have given Nice and Savoy, and he wishes for something more. Yes, I know he has one Prince ready for Rome and another for Naples." At the banquet at Palermo, in honor of Marquis Palleracini, Garibaldi proposed a toast, concluding with the words, "Rome or death; but at Rome, with Victor Emanuel at our head." Commercial.

ry." It is as well to put a stop to all calculations of this character at once. If Napoleon mean to interfere with the question of slavery in any way whatever, or to ask anything else in consideration of recognition, we can have nothing to do with him. We claim recognition as a right. We are entitled to it from every nation on earth, and we will pay nothing for it. We would, as a gratuity, give France great advantages in trade for a term of years; but we will never submit to have the game of Nice played upon us. The pamphlet goes, on to say that as soon as France recognizes us all the other States will do the same; the small States first, and finally England — that our force will be quintupled by the adhesion of Austria on Maximilian's account, of Spain on account of Cuba, and lastly it speaks of the French Navy as a powerful argument to dissuade the North from prosecuting the war any farther. There can be little doubt that this pamphlet is one of the Emperor's feelers. It

These conquests, it must be recollected, had been achieved over the best disciplined armies in Europe, commanded by Generals of the most consummate experience, by soldiers who had seen but little service, and officers who had never s

stacles to the voyage, were at disadvantages in prosecuting commerce with Southern India. But the opening of the Suez Canal brings Greece, Turkey, Austria, Italy and France almost in a direct northern and northwestern line with this new channel of commerce. It opens to them advantages which they never before possessed, and of which they will not be slow to take advantage. Syracuse may be said to be the port nearest this great gate way to the South. Trieste, Venice, Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, Nice, Toulon and Marseilles may struggle for the rich trade with Malta and Constantinople. --England is left in the rear of commerce, and the French domination over this important means of communication is supposed to bode no good to the fast-anchored isle. The consequences of this great enterprise upon the destinies of the world may be conjectured. The commercial supremacy of England will be much damaged by continental rivalry.

ers against the doctrine that cholera springs out of the ground wherever that ground is very dirty. So far as we know, every visitation of it in Europe can be accounted for by importation, and it is criminal to neglect precautions against its being brought into the country. It is true that its ravages are most fearful in dirty and closely built towns; but it appears also in the most cleanly and airy locations. There is a small village, inhabited by a few coal-burners, on the divide between Nice and Aqui. The air could not be purer and the people were employed in a healthy occupation. Cholera broke out there and half the people were attacked. I saw the case reported as a proof of the incomprehensible nature of the disease; but on inquiry I find that a family, flying from cholera at Marseilles, sickened and died of it in this mountain village, and that other people in the same house caught the disease from these unfortunate fugitives. In the circle of Melozzo one hundred and twent
