Gabibauh's Battalion <>r Childrsn.— The special correspondent in Italy ot the London Daily News went to the Scandiano to see a battalion of log children, quartered in the old cast !e. He says : "The first idea of recruiting tJiis legion of children, belongs to Gen. Qaribaldi. When engaged i:i the South American wars, and in the defeaco ot Eoom in 1849, tins gallant leader had noticed that boys between the ages of 13 and l.i years, had proved useful in the daring military operatioaa he was called to ac complish. At the beginning of the lata cam paign, having found that the Lombard cities through which he marched his triumphant legions had given their contingent of young soldiers, he at once made up hia mind to have a battalion of oasfcsceati organized. Ah in telligent young ollicer. whom he had known during the Roman campaign of 1849, being near at hand, be intruated him with the for mation of the legion', which, at the beginning, did not tiumtier more than 150. Austnai. peraecutiona and patriotism soon increased the number oi the adolircentt, so that (he bat talion has now completed i's aaaaerietl strength. These little soldiers are dressed in a uark green tunic, with red culls with a white edge, and dark green trousers. On my arrival here this morning, (rota Reggio, 1 happened to see them White maiuruvrii.g n the parade ground, opposite to Cue ran tie.— 1 was really at the name time aatoaiebed and amuaed to sen how perfect and orderly their movements were. They went through all sorts of military evolutions with such stead iness and precision as could scarcely have been surpassed by grown-up soldiers aftei many mouths of training and drilling.— Their commanding ollicer, Count John Ar rivabene, is a young nobleman oi three-aud twenty. lie belongs loan illustrious Mantuan family, which, since tail, has eoauributeda great many soldiers to the cause of national independence. Although I really believe thai •hi-* battalion of boys will do good service should it be called to fight against the ene mies of Italian independence, its clnet uu i>ortance is of a moral kind, and is such as will be easily understood by ail sensible men in Europe. This gathering ot the represen tative> ol the rising generation around the Hag of then- country, should be taken as a warning to Europe that there cannot be any compromise, any temporary solution, oi a question which has raken such hold not only ol all classes but all ages."' The Mexican Tb*atv.—The City of Mexi co correspondent oi theN. O. Picayune, writes (Dec. !:>) as follows, with regard to the recep tion of the new treat) at the capital: We have had positive news of the signature of ihe treaty between the United States and Mexico, but are entirely m the dark as to its contents. The most curious and extravagant surmises aie made, some pretending thai 10,000 troops will be sent to Vera Crux short ly, tor the purpose of invading the country : others, that ihe Government oi the United State* will ,-ect.re the ports to the Liberal cause, thus permitting Juarez to employ all bis resources tor the conquest of the interior; others, again, pretend that the United S:a'es furnish nothing but money, and very little o; that. . The papers have coi.ie out with the most fu: Lot. articles against i lie "traidores, 'a* the) term toe Liberals and their friends the Yan kees, tor who!.i no abuse that has ever been imagined seems sulli i< m The Qover men; organ, the So iedad, < blished yes - an article in which o. •.; war, and the Knife, is declared ti ',••• unforiunau ..>..-. It Buishes with the .• .■ >rds: "We shall ti have war with the United -tates, toi when to. sword of Brennua is thrown into the -caiee there is no judge but the battle-field." Munos I.i-.10. the ttimistrmdt ReUie tones, has protested through the same paper against ihe treaty,de claring the Government ol \ era Cruz incom petent io make any treaty whatever. t >v the other hand, the Liberals ware inhlgb glee over the treaty. The Vera Cruz Uefwrma Sotial, reciting its provisions, says : The principal object of the treaty la to bind together more closely the two countries in the friendly relations that now exist between them, and it is honorable to both alike. The Uniied States receives thereby certain advan tages .>f commerce, for which we have ample retarn in toe advantages conceded to us—ad vantages which will in the end prove of equal value to our own commerce. At the same lime, this double increase of commerce, and the gaaraateea under which it is revived, will bring us to what we moat stand in need of—a healtbfal How of immigration, to cultivate our vacant fields, and give new lite to every branch of industry. Mas. Stei-hens to Victor Hi go.—Cur readers are aware that Mrs. Ann S Stephens, of New York, ha* written a spirited reply to Victor Hugos defence of Old Brown. The following is an extract: Virginia, a sovereign State, has maintained her authority. John Brown is dead, rroven guilty of treason—condemned lor atrocioa* mnrders—he has atoned for these crimes on the scaffold. It is impossible lor a man to Stand upon the verge oi eternity, into which he must be launched by a violent death, with out tilling every good heart with griet ai.n compassion : bin when he is brave—when hi. paifa oi blood has been lighted by the lurid torch of fanaticism or insanity—such minds as yoiiis,ailluent, earnest and poetical, may be expected lo close his crimes in white garments, and forgetting the murderer in the brave man, singpaeaaa to the martyrof a vivid imagination only. 1 am of a sex and of a nature to whom these feelinga are kindred. 1 cannot think ot old John Brown upon the scaffold without a shudder through all my being. I cannot think of a man made in the image of his Goo, suffering an ignomiuioua death, without thrills of pain. lint 1 find it impossiole to fix my mind on the scaffold of this old man. It goes back to his victims at Harper's Ferry—to the women made widows by theoutbieak of asingle morn ing— to the orphan*, who had never wrongec Him. so cruelly bereaved by his crimes. I see tti*- two sens who blindly followed his lead fall martyrs to his rebellious spirit.

Letter from Rev. Dr. Fuller on the Effect of Slavery Agitntiou on the Condition of Slaves. From the Bawtea Courier. [The Rev. Br. Fuller, of Baltimore, hating expressed his spprobatioa of the speech of Mr. Everett, that gentWman, la reply, requested some, information Irom Dr. F., as to the general effect, on ihe condition of slaves, of the agita tion af the subject of slavery, a? it has be* n carried on for Soms years past. The subjoined answer to this inquiry addressed to Air. E, was sent by Br. Fuller through a common friend, by whom we have been permitted to publish it:] lb tk* Ummrnbtt Bewmrd Mrtrttl My Bear Sir Perhaps too much importance has linen attached to that Insane outbreak of fanaticism at Harper's Ferry : but the sympa thy with secha deed of violence and "blood, which has l.een manifested at the North—can any patriot, any good man, observe this with out amazement and alarm I I know the friends of our common country are mistaken, when they complain that the grand Uafoa demon strations ia Boston, and other cities, have not been duly appreciated here and elsewhere.— The\ have gladdened all true American hearts; they have brought tears to many eyes; and caused multitudes to say, "Weil doiie, good and faithful servants." Still, while members are elected to Coagresn, who openly avow their hostility to the South, it is idie to expect too much confidence iv any assurances of fraternal affection proclaimed in popular assemblies, no matter with whai sincerity and enthusiasm. I read your noble address with delight. I looked at that touch ing picture, "Tin- Last Bays of Webster," and exclaimed, "O. tor one note of that clarion voice now!" But the South could wish to hear what the Massachusetts Senators and ■representativessay. Would ihey avow 'hese patriotic sentimental Could they speak as you did, without forfeiting ihejr place* ! Here, in this city, and over this land, North and South, 1 fear we are feeling—and will ex perience still more mournfully—the wisdom of this prophetic warning once uttered by Mr. Burke : "When bad men combine good men must associate,else they wili hill or.c by one, •in unpmied sacrifice in a eoatemptibte strug gle." The question you propose I can answer con fidently - for, in leaving the bar and entering the ministry, I had intended to devote myself entirely to the Instruction ot 'he slaves in South Carolina. For some time 1 confined myself to that mission, and I found every where among m tsiers a prompt and active co iperation. True, ihers were laws forbidding the negroes to assemble without a certain number ot white persons; bull violated iha* iaw most industriously, meeting thousands from different plantations and preaching to them. This won id not be allowed now. An itber statute, forbidding any one to teach tne iiegroes io read, was treated wi'h as little re gard. In almost every family servants learned to read—some of them m my own household,. not .nly reading, but writing a niudi better hand than their master. Indeed, such was ihe general prejudice against this latter enact ment thai, iv an address on the religious in struct ion of slave*, prepared at the request of 'he South Carolina Agricultural Society, 1 strongly urged its repeal. Just shoal thai imear. attempt was made to abuse the mail by circulating incendiary works, and 1 was thus compelled to withdraw that portion oi the address —the Preotdent of the Society, Governor Seabrook, a. most benevolent gen tleman, producing these pamphlets and in sisting that the law was necessary for the pro tee'i.ui of Ihe slaves themselves. In June, 1845, there assembled in Charleston a body o! men, -epreseniing aim.ist all the wisdom and wealth of South Carolina. There were present, also, delegates from Georgia, and, I believe, Irom other States. It. was a meeting of the A-sociation for the improve ment, moral and religious, of the slave popu lation. The venerable Judge Hnger presided. Having been appointed to addiess that large ami noble audience, 1 did not hesitate to speak my whole mind; appealing to masters to imi tate the Aatoniues and other magnanimous Roman Emperor*, to become the guardians of their slaves, to have laws enacted, protecting them in their relations as husbands and wives and parents . to recognize the rights which the Cos])"', asserts for servants as well as masters, in a word, 1 pre.-.-cd. upon them the solemn obligations which their power over these hu man being- imposed up.vi them—obligations only the more sacred, because their power was so it responsible. That august assembly not only honored ma with their attention, but expressed iheir ap proval, tbe presiding officer concurring most emphatically in the views submitted. I need scarcely tell you that no such address would be r garded as wise or prudent a; this time, ir j> not that masters at ' less engaged in eeking to promote the moral and religious Kell-being oi their servan .-; but mea.-uies which once could have bee i dop ted most ben . flcially. would now only expose master and servant t j the baneful Influence oi fanatical intermeddlin - II any tine, is certain, it is. that ihe Goepel n ies noi recognize hatred, abuse, violence and blood, rts the ti.cans by which good is to be done, ih . Gospel is a system of love. It as sails no established social relations, but it in fuses love into hearts of those who are bound together,and thus uniies them in affection.— It the Gospel is to emancipal • slaves, it will be, not by Insurrection and massacre, but be a love which will melt oft then bonds. Let the spirit of the New Testament triumph, and all wrath and anger ami bitterness will cease.— The South and the North will harmoniously consult as to the best interests ot the Africans now in our midst; and masters will seek to promote the best welfare of those who have been committed to their care. I think 1 speak accurately when I say that hitherto every sacrifice for the emancipation of slaves has been made by Southern men : aud many hundred thousands of dollars hays been expended iv such liberations. The Norih has wasted large sums for abolition books and lec ture- : for addresses calculated to inflame the imaginations of women and children, ai.d to mislead multitudes of men—most excellent aiid pious—but utterly ignorant as to the con dition of filings at ihe South. We now find, indeed, that money has been contributed even for the purchaseoi' deadly weapons to be em ployed against the South, and to enlist ihe most fer.»cious passions in secret crusades, compared with which an open invasion by foreign enemies would be a blessing. 1 believe, however, that not one cent has yet been given to set on fjot—or even to encourage when pro posed—any plausible enterprise for the benefit of the slave. In the providence of God some of these peo ple have been placed under my care. My re sponsibilities have pressi il heavily upon me; nor have I failed to seek from God, and from the wisdom of the wisest men, a knowleogeof my duty to them. lam no politician, seeking to make cap! tal out ol this dangerous subject. lam a Christian, seeking to obey Ood in all things, and willing to make great sacrifices, to reduce mysell and family to comparative pov erty, ii I could improve their condition. I have twice madeoverturi s lumen of influence ami wealth at the North—once publicly, ie n correspondence Willi llr. Wayland, anil once more privately—aud 1 have, in all aincerity, invited oiii', or two. or Bfty, to manliest a wil lingness to part with even a pittance of their weal'h, atid theti-to show me what could be done to promote the happiness and weitare ot ihese slaves, lint not a single response have I ever heard whispered. Whne writing ihe lirst of these propositions there was under my root, in Carolina, a vio lent Abolitionist from New England- a man of great wealth. I read the letler to him be foreit W/sa sent, aad he expressed bis aston ishment at my venturing on such a step.; but neiiher he nor any other man has intimated a willingness to part with money, that the ne gro might be rescued from what they profess to regard as a deplorable ab ss of my scry. Yet the South is denounced for not at once immo lating four thousand millions of property guaranteed to them by the Constitution; for not at once weeds aud brambles millions of fertile acres: for not breaking up their entire social system, and either driving their servaata from their comfortable homes, to become vagabonds in other Sia-es, which will again drive them out ol their borders—or else harboring in their midst hordes ot discon tented, indolent ragnuats, utterly until for freedom, who would certainly he exterminated unless in mercy they were again reduced to servitude. Because they will not do all this; will SOtinflict this suicidal wrong ujiou them selves,aud try this fatal experiment upon the servants they love— because they will not thus ruin their families, and desolate their hearths and homes, aad all tins in violation of their best conviciions otdoty, they are to be Lhe ob jects ol incessant calumny, to be pillaged and murdered in cold biood by their own fellow citizens, who are heroes and martyrs for doing this butchery. I do now believe that the guardianship of a kind master is, at this time, a great blessiug to the African. If emancipation is ever to take place, it will be gradually, and tiiuier the mild, but resistless influence of the Gospel. Wheth er slavery be an evil or not, we at the Soiuli did not bring these Africans here—we proiest ed against their introduction. The true iriend ot the African is at the South, aad thousands of hearts there are seeking to know what can bs done for this race. There must be some limits to human responsibility, and a man in New England has no mi re right to interfere with the institutions ot Virgin.a, than he has to Interfere with those of England or Frauce. AH such interference will be replied by the matter, but it will prove injurious to the slave. Dr. Chauning was regarded as a lead ing Abolitionist in his day; but could that aoble man now rise up, he would stand aghast at the madness wbjjlt is rife everywhere on '

r— — ■ ■ i this subject. 'Onegreat principle, which we should lay down as immovably true, is, that if a good work cannot be carried on by the calm, self-controlling, benevolent spirit of Christi anity, then the time fordoing it has notcome." Such was his language when opposing slave ry. Were he now living, the delirious spirit of th»dav would denounce him, as it denounc ed Mr. Webster, and now denounces you anil every true patriot.

Hitherto I have .smiled st all croaking about disunion: now I feel that the riiionis in imminent danger. The toe-in ol rebeiliea ia heard from many quarters.

Unless Heaven interpose?, thi» land must be rent and torn by two nations burning with ihe Sereest hostility, and en gaged 111 a fratricidal and most horrible war tare. I rejoice that there are yet spared to us some men of the old revolutionary stamp: men with hearts like yours to love the Union ; with eloquence like yours, to sound the alarm ere it is too late, and to rally to the cause of the Union all who are worthy to be citizens of this great and glorious Kepirblie.

WunaKABOUTS OF THE Co.NSFIKA I'dHS. A correspondent of the New York Herald, who has been investigating the condition of the runaway slaves in Canada, alludes to a half breed, named Shadd, the publisher of a paper at Chatham, who was a prominent accomplice of Brown, and says : The few men of Brown's party who escaped with their lives are at the present moment in Canada, where they are certain of protection from the people, should they t.,.. demanded of the government as escaped mv larers. JVler riam, a white, and a negro, whose name 1 do not know, both of whom were engaged in the Harper's Ferry affair, are at the present mo meut at Shadtf'a house. Merriam is a young looking man, apparently not over twenty-two years of age, short and slightly built, with a thin,hatebety-looking face, very pale, and no beard.

— ii t -r~. ■ mm LOCAL MATTBRB. Tin Virginia Stables, now in tbe South, are to travel hard roads before they return, if re ports from tbe South and Southwest are true. Wednesday morning we published a notice of a challenge made in Tetine-.ee to run against "Planet '• at Memphis for 9lo,(hio—a challenge which the Messrs. Doswell will certainly not accept, inasmuch as their horse already has four or five engagements in long races, aud ihey have no Idea of going to Tennessee.— Other challenges have been made to run the get of Lexington against that of Revenue intended for the owners of "Planet"—but they are not disposed to accept them, preferring to run for stakes againut all comers, and win if they can. The reputation which Planet acquired in tho South last winter, has placed him in an un enviable position for the present campaign, and should make his friends very cautious how ihey bet upon him, until the hour for starting arrives. The races commence at Sa vaaaah next week, and he is expected to start in the four-mile stake. If he wius—and we feel assured that be will, it he is all right—he i» then to run at Charleston and Mobile before he gets to New Orleans, where some of his over sanguine friends are already backing him against the favorites of the South. Indeed, the stable of the BI Stars. Doswell is so well thought of in the Crescent City, that uearlv all of them have been backed to win, anil many of the bets have been made play or pay. We have always looked upon 'Planet "as ihe fastest horse ever 4'oaled in Virginia, and be lieve he could have beat any other horse in the Union when at Ashland last fall: but we are not so sanguine ot his speed and endurance as to suppose that he can travel hundreds of miles by rail, undergo the change of climate arid of water of the South, run all distances, and against all competitors, and never lose a race, tforv s. like men, are subject to sudden changes, and while they may be fit to run for a inau's life to-day, to-morrow they maybe entirely off their feet. Along with Planet are Nicholas 1., Fanny Washington and Exchequer—three goad oars —and their friends in the South are equally sanguine of their success ; but, as all of them are liable to accidents, 1- would tie wise policy in the friends of the Virginia horses to risk nothing on 'hem auti] they see them stripped for each race, and 'hen not to lei their S ale pride ran away with their judgments ana risk m ire than they can v.ell ait ru I i lose There Is no reason why Pteoetshonld be tbe fhvorite a- New Orleans, aad if he is madesmm, itwiil only he because he has won everywhere eisey and the**apriver afraid to meet him-a state ot tilings not at at) likely to oc cur, as Louisiana, reaneasse and Kentucky will be represented on the occasion.
