By special telegrams through the Atlantic cable dated im Garibaidi’s camp, within five miles of Rome, in Terni ‘and Florence, to the evening of the Slst of October, our Correspondents report, in an interesting form, the military situation of the Italian army of liberation in position in full view of Rome, Garibaldi had three thousand men, well armed and provisioned, with him on the 30:b ult, at CastelYeibilero, Recruits arrived to the number of six hundred daily. There was but little discipline maintained, and the rear of the camp was unguarded, Eight men of the force were tobe shot on the 3ist ult, for thieving, although the general behavior was good. Garibaldi’s two sons wore with him, ‘The General observed his simple habits of life, and was in constant consultation with the revolutionary committees, The French had not then reached Romo. The Garibaldian officers de- manded that the Papal soldiers captured at Monte Ro- tendo should be shot, but Garibaldi refused. There were large supplies of food and ammunition at hand. ‘The Malian government closed aii the revolutionary aid committees or depots inthe kingdom. Garibaldi would mot attack Rome until he had at least twenty thousand men. The news report states that the French troops marched from Civita Vecchia to Rome, and entered the Eternal City. The city was perfectly tranquil, and the French were received inmlence. Garibaldi was still in Position on the outskirts, his forces increasing hourly. ‘The Papal troops, concentrated in the fortifications, were to march out and attack Garibaldi yesterday, ‘There was little telegraphic communication from Italy, Outside of Floreace, to England. The Florence jour- gals say that the French did not enter Rome, but re- port that Garibaldi had retired to Monte Rotondo, Gen- eral Cialdin! is in command of the Italian troops on the Roman soil, Napoleon, it is said, has demanded from Victor Emanuel an explanation of the invasion of the Pope's territory by his army. Prussia will, it is said, intervene in the Roman question should it become threatening to the peace of Europe. ‘It ts alleged in Paris that the Emperor of Austria will got visit Beriia, The King of Greece was married tothe Princess Oiga of Russia in St. Petersburg. The murder of two policemen in Dublin alarmed the Irish Executive considerably, and a large reward is offered for the ap- prehension of the assassins. Lori Rosse, the astronomer, is dead. Two heuses engaged in the cotton trade failed in Liverpool. Two of the Fenian rescue rioters were sentenced to death in Manchester, and the Court proceedings attracted extraordinary attee- tion. Consols were at 04 5-16, for money, in London in the afternoon, when all the markets closed for the holiday. Five-twenties were at 70 in London and 15% in Frank- fort, The Liverpool cotton market was ull, with middling uplands at 82d. The trade report from Manchester is unfavorable, Breadstuife dull. Provisions easier, MISCELLANEOUS. ‘It is now well Known that the negroes in the South are organizing and arming for some purpose which is not peaceful, and it is also known that some of the district commanders not only permit them to arm, but have farnished them with the necessary equipments, Presi- dent Johnson has referred the facts in these cases to the head of the War Department, and it is probable that he ‘will increase the military force in the South. r ‘The intest advices from the seat of war in Paraguay state that a report was current in Rio Janeiro to the effect that Pilar, the principal Paraguayan port, hed deon captured by the allies, together with many pris- oners and a large quantity of stores, Our special welegrams by the Gulf cable contain news toms from Havana to the Ist inet, and Vera Cruz, Mex- jeo, tothe 24th ult.

An election has been ordered in Chariton county, Missouri, on a railroad subscription, at which all colors and sexes are entitled to vote, Two hundred and thirty-seven negroes bave reported to the Froedmen’s Bureau, in Richmond, as having been discharged by their employers for voting the radical ticket. The case of the United “ates against James B, Freeman, charged with baying, as an inspector of revenue, extorted money and accepted a bribe, was again on yesterday, and stands further adjourned to this morning, when it will be submitted to the jury.

According to the most accurate statistics of national finance the aggregate amount paid in taxes in this republic is greater than is paid in any other country in the world. Last year the tax laid by the general government alone reached the enormous sum of five bundred and sixty million dollars. But with the taxes of the United States, the State, county, city—all taken together—it is estimated that not less than one thousand million dollars annually go to pay for the poor boon of bad government While the national government demands a per- centage on every man’s income—a share in the profits of every stroke of business—and must be paid for all that we are permitted to eat, drink or wear, the State government taxes us to an extent never before known; and the amount of municipal taxes is seen and felt in the tremendous price of rents and of all the daily necessities of the people that are bought and sold in the city. Such is the burden of debt resting upon us that one-third of all the property owned in the State would barely re- lieve us. One-third of every man’s property is responsible for the indebtedness of the State and the nation, and the owner must pay in taxes the interest on that vast debt. Not only does taxation so onerous not exist anywhere else, but it was, perhaps, never before known in the history of society. In looking over the tax tables it soems bad enough. As officially shown in the Treasury Department reports, the loxd that the nation staggers under naturally appals the thought of a people that less than a decade since was almost the only one on earth that hardly knew what a taxgatherer was, But what is eeen in the tables, bad as it is, is not the worst. The figures show only what was paid in, only what found its way to the government coffers, and that may have been the smaller part of what was taken from the people. Taxgatherers with us are corrupt beyond all possible pre- cedent. Popular opinion hardly makes the distinction between a revenue officer and a thief. Stealing in place is so common, so gen- eral, it is so much a recognized fact that this class of functionary seeks position only to acquire sudden fortune, that no one of them any longer feels called upon to deny it through any supposed necessity to seem honest. From remote times the taxgatherer was a scoun- drel, publicans were robbers and the friends of robbers, and the Christian text classes “the publican and the taxgatherer” as one in re- pute and performance; and those old fellows stole a measure of cummin, may be, or a skin of wine. Perhaps some fellow of unusual boldness here and these may have taken a talent of silver. What pigmies of plunder! Hundreds of thousands of dollars make the @mall dust In the balance of our revenue col- lectors, and a place is hardly worth the in- trigues by which it is gained if it does not promise around milliog above all contingen- cies for a term. Do the people clearly understand their posi- tion in all this? Do they appreciate that of the vast amount they pay in taxes a large proportion is as unjustly taken as if it were taken by the highwayman, and goes not even to sustain a mismanaged government, but to enrich the corrupt minions of a profligate party? We may naturally feel a certain sym- pathy for the people of the South, beaten down, humbled by degrading laws, and denied all the rights of freemen, that the nigger may outweigh them in the political scale; but the people of the State must awake to the percep- tion that they have a nearer and more positive reason than mere sympathy for joining their voices to the rebuke that the whole nation is uttering against the recently dominant repub- lican party—the party of nigger supremacy, the party that bas piled up this enormous burden of taxes, the party of unlimited, indis- criminate robbery in office. All this terrible taxation ie telling on the material interests of our people in the worst way, and thus the republican party has come to make itself felt in men’s pockets, and men must make their repudiation of such a party felt at the polle in such good round terms as a majortty of one hundred and fifty thousand votes against is candidates next Tuesday. Such a declaration the party will understand, but it will heed no other, It has got beyond all fear but that of the loss of powes, The Situation ia Burope. Our news from Europe daily becomes more exciting. It becomes hourly more and more Impossible to look at this Italian difficulty by itself alone. It is, after all, less an Italisn than » European question. No matter how our sympathies may tend, it is impossible longer to believe that Garibaldi is to be able on this occasion yet to give Rome to Italy. At the same time the situation is complicated in the extreme. Garibaldi may be defeated and com- pelted to retire ; but the questions still remain— What is to be done with Rome, and what is to be tho fate of Italy? Rome may fall into the hands of the French, but what are the French todo withit? The Italian government may have occision to make a pretence of rejoicing that the Garibaldian movement has been sup- pressed in fhe Pontifical territory; but what are they to do with the Garibaldians, who in- clude in their number all the men and women of Italy? The French occu- pation of Rome will be no settlement of the difficulty, It will till remain & guastio verala, & question to be decided, ultimately, in favor of Italy, Meanwhile, seri- ous complications wiil take place—complica- tions which may prowe ruinous to Victor Emanuel and scarcely less ruinous to Louis Napoleon. Italy may yleld to circumstanc’s which she is too weak to resist; but Italy cannot be compelled to love a sovereign who bas proved himself unworthy of his position and but little entitled to the affec- tion of his people. Italy in open and general revolution and Victor Emanuel dethroned, are not certainly impossibilities in the early future. Nor will it at all surprise us if this interference in Roman and Italian affairs begets revolution in France. No one can deny that Napoleon holds with a firm hand the reins of government in France, and that he has in some respects been a blessing to his people; but there are few, on the other hand, who will re- fuse to admit that the French people, and particularly of late years, have revealed & little impatience under the yoke. The foreign policy of the Emperor has for some time past been singularly unfortunate. His Mexican, his German, his Italian schemes have all, from a certain point of view, been failures. If this, too, results in failure, his prestige will be seriously broken. France the more eagerly watches the Emperor's policy that Prussia is pushing her successes to 8 point that is, to say the least, more than irritating. While Napoleon trifles with the Papacy and acts the part of a small Charlemagne, Bismarck, astute and unwearied, hurries to victory. Some of our most recent news shows that the South German States—Baden, Wtirtemberg, Bavaria, Electoral Hesse—had joined the Con- federation of the North, and that it wants but the German States of Austria to make Germany one and indivisible. Napoleon cannot like this; France must like it leas. Sey vs. Pendleten. The two most prominent democratic favorites for the'next Presidency are Horatio Seymour, of New York, and George H. Pendleton, of Ohio. They are both distinguished as men of ability and experience in political affairs, and each is popular among the democratic masses as a faithful exponent of democratic principles. Seymour, in 1862, on his platform of “a more vigorous prosecution of the war,” carried the State of New York by ten thousand majority, against a popular republican gencral, engaged atthe time in the war; but was defeated in 1864 on the peace platform of the Chicago Peace Convention, which also carried down Mr. Pendleton, the associate of General McClellan on the democratic Presidential ticket, The war record of S*ymour, however, is much better than that of Pendleton, who can boast with Vallandigham only that he never voted a man or a dollar for a war which he be- lieved to be unconstitutional. But the war is now among the things of the past, and the great living questions of taxation and the payment of the national debt are com- ing into the foreground. Upon the important question of the national debt Seymour and Pendleton stand as widely separated as Greeley and Ben Butler. Seymour, like Greeley, holds to the redemption of the national debt in coin ; Pendleton, like Butler, goes for paying off the bondholders in greenbacks. Seymour repre- sents the Belmonts and other democratic bond- holders of the East ; Pendleton represents the -democratic masses, if not the masses of both parties, in the West. “Down with the system which gives gold to the bondholder and paper to the workingman,” is a war cry which will probably be as effective, if tried, as was the ery in 1840 against Martin Van Buren’s Sub- Treasury system, of “Down with this system which gives gold to the officeholders and bank rags to the people.” At all events, in choosing between Seymour and Pendleton ss their Presidential candidate next spring or summer, the democracy will have to choose between the plan of paying off the national bondholders in gold and the plan of paying them off in greenbacks. This is the issue between Seymour and Pendleton, and from the drift of the late election in Ohio Pendleton has the inside track for the demo- cratic nomination. Santa Ana. Exiled, not executed, Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana was expected at Havana on the 25th of October by the Spanish steamer Mar- sella; but it seems that he preferred waiting for an American steamer, and it is probable that he will choose neither Havana, nor Kings- ton, nor Carthagena, but New York for his fature residence. Let bim steer clear of sea- sharks and landeharks, and the remoant of his fortune may suffice to enable him to pass the balance of his days bere comtortably. He will have abundant leisure to write the history of the remarkable vicissitudes of his public life and to enjoy his old favorite amusement of cockfighting. If the present European com- plications result in « general revolution he will not be likely to ln « for Mlustrious com- panions in exile. Fo: who can predict that Pius IX. and Napoleon Ill. and Garibaldi may not yet be forced ayain to cross the Atlantic and seek, with Victor Emanuel, the Grand Turk and other European potentates and powers— including, perhaps, in case that the Fenians should realize their dreams, Queen Victoria herself—the protection of the Aderican flag? Louis Napoleon might prefer to live higher up town than in his former lodgings in Bond street, Garibaldi might return to bis soap manufactory on Staten Island. The Holy Father long since received » standing invita- tion to make bimeelf at home at Washington Heights. The other distinguished exiles would find plenty of fine houses to let by consulting the advertising columns of the Naw Yors Henatp. There is room enough fo all of them on the Isle of Manhattan between the Battery and Spuyten Duyvil creek. South America. Our South American news bas the usual tinge of war. In Peru the Arequipa outbreak has grown into such proportions that the Presi- dent has been forced to take command of the troops in person. In Ecuador there is.trouble between Congross and the Executive. Three of the Congressmen had been arrested for ® conspiracy to upset the government. Chile is & little Yhopeful than her neighbors. There some evidences of progress. The neW Liverpool steamship line has been subsid'zed by the Chileno government. The s'eamers, according to contract, are to com- Mmence running within a year. The west coast telegraph line, which was suggested a tew months since by the Herat, is already organized, and will be at once car- ried south from Havana to Panama. From Panama, down the Pacific const, it will termi- nate at Valparaiso; and thence, by a branch across the Andes, will connect with the east coast of South America. Mexice om Her Geod Behavior. From the accounts we have lit-ly re ceived from Mexico, including our correspond- ence of yesterday, it is evident that the unruly republicans of Azieo descent are cognizant of the fact that the eyes of the world aro upon them, They are trying to prove a very diff- cult problem, and that is that Mexico is able’ to preserve peace within her boundary. There have been many reasons why, up to the present time, the effort has been unsuccessful. Like many other countries, they have bad a terrible religious war to fight out. Until this was finished there could be no hope of peace; but now concluded, there is every reason to believe that Mexico will, by wise action on tho part of her rulers, shape her future in proper chan- nels, The internal troubles which have usually followed great civif contests appear in this period of Mexican history to have quicted down in the most gingular manner. Hereto- fore guerilla bands, dissatisfied with revolu- tionary results, have sprung into existence in almost every central State and formed the foci of tuture troubles, At present these bands do not exist, proving what we have hereto- fore advooatei—that the French intervention, in uniting all the segregated elements, did a very good thing for the country. In four years of hot contest, averaging a battle or a skirmish every day during the time, they forgot political differences incident to local politics, to throw all the national force into resistance against foreign invasion. Herein lies the secret of the present quiet, ‘ The re-election of Juarez by an almost anani- mous vote is also a very good indication that there will be a permanent peace ; for were the election equally divided between two rival candidates it would indicate that some vital principle was at stake which might in such a country mean revolution, The whole nation, in electing Juarez, shows itself to bo intensely disposed to support the principles of tho liberal party, which is the party following, as rapidly ag possib'e, in that pathway of government which we in the United States have shaped. It ig the party eminently progressive, and means tho greatest and most rapid internal de- velopment of Mexico in the shortest possible time. The great commercial interest we have ia the peace rble condition of Mexico leads us to the support of every element there which lends itself to the desired result. The more peacea- ble our neighbor is, the more valuable it will be towards the quieting of our own internal dissensions. Wo should have a trade of twenty or thirty millions of dollars annually with Mexico, and should increase it indofinitely. Theresa Yelverten and Charles Dickens. In every amusement season there is always some peculiar entertainment that recommends itself specially to the public. This season has two novelties that form its most attractive features. One is Mrs. Theresa Yelverton, who will commence a series of readings from the English and American poets at Irving Hall on Thursday next, and the other is Charles Dickens, who will also: give readings in this city, commencing at Steinway Hall, Decem- ber'9, The manager or agent of the last men- tioned novelty has already made a serious mistake in fixing the price of tickets at one dollar and a half, which is, undoubtedly, de- preciating the value of his chief. Three dol- lars a ticket would not be objected to in this city, and the manager evidently does not un- derstand the sentiments of the people of New York in making the terms at so low a figure. We hope the same mistake will not be made in Mrs. Yelverton’s case. Both the lady and gentleman are excellent readers, and their en- tertainments are sure to draw large and bril- liant houses, They ought to be made the leading attractions of the amusement season, in @ pecuniary point of view, as they are in the popular acceptation of the term.

THE DEAN RICHMOND DISASTER, a Close—Further Exe Thi x the Vanderbilt, but the case seems nearly closed, n Stephen PD, Dusenberry said he was on the Vanderbilt on the night of the collision and heard the whiaties of the boats before the collision, but he did not throw aay fresh light on the material points of the case ~ Fi George Clam, also passenger on board the Vanderbilt, followed to the same effect; he stated that he saw Cap- tam Teson helping the forward deck to remove the passengers from the Dean Richmond, Johnson Purdy id Edward Lupton, two expert draughtsmen and shipwrights, were noxt examined to show (he condition of the two vessols after the collision. Drawings were handed in as evidence, showing the damage done to the hulls of the Vanderbilt and Dean Richmond, and certain scientific formule and reasons were adduced to show the offect and how it was produced when er united; many presumptive theories were ward to thow that if t Dean Richmond had sueh a position and the Vanderbilt in that, and that if bat these theories that hotbiag much could be fast Sut of thems.

That | did not exaggerate in the least is fully confirmed by the information derived from the very bightst sources, It la well for the country to know io time that the pegroes are arming and organizing for no peaceful Purpose, and it is weil for the goverament to take steps ‘@ prevent any disastrous results, I am informed that the President has the subject under consjd- eration, and that he will undoubtedly act with vizor, Much surprise is expressed here that the District Commanders should permit the negroes to arm aud drill publicly throughout the South; but this is mot eves tho worst of it, forit is known ‘that in some inaiances the negroes have actually been Supptied with arms and ammunition by the military au- thorities, Such cases have ovme to the knowledge of tn8 President, who has referred for investigation to the head of the War Departmest, It is probable that tho President will cause instructions to be given to the military commanders (o prevent further arming of (ho megroes, aud, where desirable, to relieve them of such arms as they already have in their possession. It is ot iinpos-ible, either, that the wild fauatical harangues of Hunpntcutt & (0. will be checked by Executive orders, for such inflammatory utierances are regarded by the President as certain, if allowed much fyrther induigence, to icad to violence and bloodshed.

The Bounty Question. ‘The proper accounting officer of the Treasury hae just rendered a decision on aclaim which will rule dst quite & number of claims for the second instalment of boc Sty. A soldier who was at home on furlough when his regi- ‘ment was mustered out claims the second instalment of bounty on the ground that the length of time which would elapse between the mus- ter out and his arrival at rendezvous, added to the length of his previous service, would make up the eighteen months’ service, which would entitle him to the second instalment, It is argued in bis case that regiments mustered out in the field were allowed pay while en route to and until they arrived at the State rendezvous, the place of first discharge and payment, thus proving that the troops during that time are considered as in service. The decision is that as the soldier had no journey to perform, he is, conse- quently, entitied neither, to travel, pay nor subsistence tm kind of commutation therefor. His discharge took effect immediately on the muster out of his regiment. He was neither subject to military orders after that date nor entitied to pay, and baving, therefore, served less than eighteen months, the second instalment had not matured and no bounty is due. ‘The Alleged Frauds in the Pay Department. The Lincoln Committee for the investigation of alleged frauds in the Pay Department, which has been actively engaged in taking testimony here for the past two or three days, has adjourned until the 16th instant. During ite short session here, Colonels Brooke ané Hodge and Assistant Paymaster General Eaton have been ex- amined. Several of the clerks who have just been dis- charged have also been before the committee, to give testimony in relation to the practice of Loewenthal in the Pay Department.
