VIENNA, August 2, 1868, Six days of shooting and cellaneous diversions are aiready over. Six days of very original, interest- img and enthusiastic political speechifying are aiso ended. The political part of the transactions I re- serve for a special letter, which I will seud you when the Fest has ran out its appointed time. For to-day the lighter occupations of the Schuetzen and their hosts will suitice, Let me begin by describing @ normal day's trane- actions. The shooting begins at six o'clock A. M. and continues till about half-past seven o'clock P. a., when the silver goblets (or their money value) won during the day are distributed in the gift temple. From haif-past twelve to half-past two P. M. are the banquet hours, during which the toasts are proposed and responded to, At four o'clock P. M. two military bands begin to play im the open air, one tn front of the Fest Halle and the other in front of the main entrance. These bunds play tilleleven P.M. From eight to eleven ¥. M. there is every day some special attraction in the Fest Halle, At half-past eleven P. M. there is a grand “tattoo” and march to the city of all the mu- sical bands which have performed during the day on the Fesi platz, in the open air or under cover, Monday last, the first day of the shooting, the Special evening attraction in the Fest Halle was the concel “pet t by the three brothers Strauss, those abiding of the Viennese, esdoy evening @ Commers or singing and King entertainment by the students of the Uni- versity and Polytechnic School.

About nine hundred persons took part in this excursion, ‘The attraction for the stay-at-llomes was a ball in the Fest Halle, The whole of the programme has so far been successfully carried out (the restaurant department always excepted), and no man has lost his life in consequence of wild shois, Now for the resnite of the shooting.

He has been in- vited by the Imperial Minister of War to call on hin and exhibit his weapon. I shall have occasion to speak of this competitor from the Far Northwest when I describe the Kaiser’s visit to the Festplatz. 7 One of the sharpshooters from America has y 1n a goblet, He is Mr. Timothy Gruaz, of Highiand, iilinols, Mr. Gruag first learned to handle the king of weapons in Switzerland, He has lived twenty years In the United States, and his right hand has not forgotten its cunning, I give the names of the competitors from the United States as | find them printed in the Zagblait, of this city, They are:—Louis J.

This munificent display of the German tri- color is in itselia sign of the new era in West Austria, Arrived at the Fesi-Halle, he was preseated with two goblets of wine and beer, Choosing the former, he drank “to the welfare of the sharpshooters here assembled.” He was then conducted to the it temple, at the portal of which he was met ”y two Low German peasant girls, who have come hither with the Hamburgers, and who proffered a monster bouquet carrying the de- vice, “The sharpshooters to the Empress.” Hero- upon the Kaiser remarked, “I will deliver itiresh to my wife, as 1 depart for Ischi this even- ing.” When vhe Emperor entered the shooting hall the shooters ceased firing and hurried to welcome him. “Pray continue to shoot; gentlemen, please goon, {do not wish to interrupt any one.

Probabilities of a Second Anti-Roman Move- ment—Giribs 1 Health nds from England—Pacitic Dispos Menabrea Cabinet, FLORENCE, August 9, 1868, Is the coming autumn to witness another Roman movement’ That is the question which now begins to occupy men’s minds, very much as it did this time last year. Garibaldi was then making a triumphant progress through Central Italy, heaping flery denun- clations upon priestcraft generally and passionately appealing to Italians to deliver Rome from the mis- rule of the Vatican, Garibaldi now lies like a sick lion at Caprera, Nor if we Think on the wounds hls b Like graves in the holy can there be much surprise that his is fast breaking up. The rheumatism, has greatly tormented him of late years, las within the last six months assumed so severe a form as to render him unable to walk without crutches. Long years of exposure and hardship begin to tell upon the iron frame that has stood erect in the van of a thousand fights, Ido not think Garibaldi will be able to make another cam- paign, Even during the Roman movement of tast year he left the active leadership of the Garivaldians to his son Menottl, and was often unable, from his infirmities, to keep up with the main body of the volunteer army. Should the party of action project any fresh attempt upou Rome we may not, ther fore, expect to see Garibaldt again act as their execttive head, however much he may atd his friends ti sluable counsel and by recommendation of the proper men to be entrusted with command, So long as he lives, indeed, his very name alone will be a tower of strength to the cause which he sup- ports; and when no more he Jeaves two sons, of whom Menottl, the elder, enjoys the fail confidence of the Garibaldians and seems likely to uphold the prestige of luis father" + Ina few tines addressed to a friend, published two or tiree weeks ago, Garibaldi, tn his usual ardent, imp: vie, proclatined the neces- sity for renewing the eitort to overthrow the Papal ruk his wight not have excited observation, as is to write noting, at least ly bears, which slow wireh yard, health which print, without # denuneiat against the Papacy, But this Y been forgotten before repoxyts re atrnttitaneously from y Is quarters of a second Gariaiiian movement upon Home in the auturen, And of secret enrolments in various parts of Italy with that object. ‘The correspondents of several im- portant French papers speak in positive terms as to existe of such enrolment agencies in. the principal owte Cardinal Cutten, at Dubtin, solicit | |: the fart in Leeland tn ‘4 military force and {the Garibaldian attack auiiinn.

It will thus be seen how entire! the plans of the Ministry would be upset by a Garl- baldian movement, necessitating great military pre- parations on the part of the government, and per- haps embroiling Italy seriously with France. But, notwithstanding these pacific intentions, { would not undertake to say that the Menabrea Cabinet might not by & dexterous evolution shape their course upon quite another tack, should they ever find public feeling dead against their present policy, The Romau Court 1s as suspicious and impractica ble with Menabrea as it was with Ratazzi. ‘To the Vatican aii Italian Ministers are, a8 the Spaniards say, lodos los mismos perros, oni collars, The wily Cardinals cannot help thinking that n Menabrea, meek and iniid as he may be, would aunex Rome with marvellous avidity, could he do so without gelling into a scrape with the ‘Tuileries. No progress is, therefore, made towards an accommodation or modus vivendt between Kome and Flovence, The distrust of the Vatican rather ducreases, more particularly since the terrible mur- mur of Garivaldianism is of rumor, My own observation and information only tend to contirm tne in the impression that the party of action is secretly agitating throughout Italy, In the drst place Menotti and Kicciotti Garibaldi are constantly travelling in Italy and make frequent voyages to Caprera, When visiting Italian towns they are known to have long confidential interviews with leading Garibaldlan partisans, and it is not unrca- sonably concluded that these visits, costing long aud expensive journeys, are not undertaken for the mere pleasure of exchanging friendly salutations, Menotti Garibaldi, according to a Turin democratic organ, has lately also visited England in order to coliect funds for a second Garibaldian invasion. His brother Ricciotti, it may be remembered, made a similar visit last year with very good results. Another significant pains is that a movement has recently been set afoot to organize mutual rellef or benefit societies among the Gartbaldians. Such is the announcement of the Riforma, the Moniteur of Italian democracy. This looks marvellously like a revivification, under au innocent title, of the societies established last year in aid of what were called the Roman insurgents, albeit the insurgents all came from this side of the frontier, People ask, perti- ly enough, why Garibaldians should form jal benefit socteties, and regard the movement an organization for political purposes—a view ch I periecily share with them. ‘The places at which se enlistiaents of volunteers are said to be most actively carried on are Terni, Orvieto, Leghorn and Genoa. Terni is the residence of Pietro Faustint, one of Garibatdi's most devoted partisans, wlule Barili, an old Garibaldiaa captain, who took a promi- nent part in last year’a movement, is established at Genoa, Nuples is another active revolutionary cen- ire. I use the term revolutionary inasmuch as Maz- zini and Garibaldi now make common cause, and the success of a Garibaldian invasion of Rome, un- supported or opposed by the Italian governmgnt, will be a critical moment in the fortunes of the Savoy monarchy, Nothing more urgently necessity for a solution of Roman ques tion before Italy can be really tranquil and Prosperous than the cruel dilemma in which it may day place the government of this country, Let be # strong popular feeling in Italy, resulting departure of volunteers by wholesale for the Roman States.

No great importance should be attached to the movements, sayings or doings of the imperial col as it is well known the Emperor as sumes his acta only just so far as suits his own Policy. Suffice ‘it to say, the two weeks here were spent in visiting, dining, peviowne. and mukjng excursions in the environs, From this Prince Napoleon proceeded to Mount Athos and Salonica, aud subsequently we hear of him at Syra, where he ig looked upon as a philo- hellene; while here he was regarded as a philoturk, The Viceroy of Egypt, whose visit this year has been entirely thrown in the shade by the Prince Na- peleon and Other unaccustomed guests, ts still here, ie was to have left three weeks since for the baths of Ems.

He has since, however, sent for his eldest son and heir presuiaptive, a lad of about seventeen years of age, who, on his arrival bere, was betrothed to the daughter of the late Sultan Abdul Medjid, which allt- ance with the Imperial family will doubtless secure the Egyptian succession in a direct line to the family of sald Pacha instead of to the oldest member of the family, as has hitherto been the custom in Egypt, and is still as regards the Sultans of Turkey. The leaders of the mysterious Bulgarian insurrec- tion, of which we have heard so much during the past year, have at last made @ demonstration, Some three hundred filibusters in three separate bands crossed the Danube and had scarcely landed on the Torkish territory when they were attacked by the recently organized militia and regular troops, and after a faint resistance were nearly ail Killed, wounded or taken prisoners.

MEXICO. Peace in Sinaloa—The Causes—Movements and Whereabouts of Leading Revolution- isteThetry Future=News from Durango, Chibuabua and Coahuila=Local Affairs in Sinaloa, - _~ Mazarian, July 23, 1868, ‘The blessings of peace and the laurels of victory now crown the bereavement of the State of Sinaloa, After long years of bloody strife, carnage and deso lation we are lulled into an ecstatis tranquility. & feeling of profound thankfulness thrills the heart as the mind calmly surveys this strange and wonderful but happy condition of society in this portion of “unhappy Mexico." How long will it last? The principal reason of peace lies in the fact that there are no European vessels im port, richly laden, to tempt revolutionary chieftains by offering them from $100,000 to $260,000 on import duties that would legally amount to double these sums, Another reason is that the rainy season 1s upon us, and in a little while it will be an impossibility to move troops outside their fortifications, owing to the condition of the roads, swollen rivers and want of bridges. A third and last principal reason is that so long as General Corona has his headquarters in this city and 2,000 or 3,000 troops ere and throughout the State there need be no fears of the most daring revolu- tionist heading a rebellion, Then there is that modern Sisyphus, the redoubtable Gencral Angel Martinez, who has fled to San Francisco, after hav- ing lost his Paradise in Sinaloa, Again, to use a contradiction of terms, the omnipresent General Placido Vega is absent in San Francisco also, Un- doubtedly General Vega is paying his addresses to the goddess Occasia, and looking patiently for the opportunity when he can return to make himself master of Sinaloa, then sit down and weep like the great Alexander because there is nothing else worth conquering. With Martinez and Vega absent on a tour of pleasure and recreation in a friendly and neighboring republic—no joke intended—Colonel Adolfo Palacio, one of our late chieftains, in prison here, and General Toledo and Colonel Granados in prison elsewhere, the very best revolutionary timber in the State is either absent or uscless. In a letter from this poimt published in the HeraLD of May 29, the probable future policy of these revolutionists was foreshadowed. Palacio Uterally fulfilled the prophesy then made, by raising a band of followers and again trying his fortunes in this State. His ar- rest and particulars attending it have already been telegraphed. Although be is now in prison, it is probabie that strong influences will be brought to bear for his release. By referring to the HekALp file of May the reader will find the rabid and sulphuric pronunciamiento issued by this doughty warrior against General Corona. As the latter officer is now master of the situation it is only human nature to expect that his bitter enemies may have to sulfer for their crimes, Governor Rubi, too, can have but litile respect for any of those men who undermined his government and made the State the theatre of a most shameful and disgraceful, not tosay atrocious civil war. People are now wondering as to what will be the future movements of Vega and Mar- tinez. Itis thought they may league together and organize a filibustering party to make a descent on Lower California, But of course the United States government would permit no such outrage, and it ts even doubtful that the moneyed men of San Fran- cisco would in any manner countenance such a scheme, nor would the most reckless men to be found in the Pacific slope enlist in such an enter- prise when they learn that instant butchery would be their fate if captured. Such has been the result with regard to filibusters who formerly sought to make Mexico a scene of robbery and conquest. Undoubt- edly Lower California, at least the masses of the people, those interested in mining affairs and certain companies, would gladly hati the acquisition of the territory to the United States, while there are few who would welcome a set of butchers and cut-throats on any pretext. But suppose that Governor neta and General Martinez should fail in Lower California speculations, there is another grand opening for them, Santa Anna is reported to have agents on the Rio Grande, and the ex-President could find in these men a secretary of State and # general-in-chief worthy of his grand undertakings. There is one thing certain, and that is that Sinaloa has had enough of both its ex- led chieftains, especially of General Martinez, who does not stand very high with the so-called intelligent classes either in @ moral or intellectual light. Yet even he has friends who look wpon him as a great warrior, and Who would rather consign him to Eden than Tartarus, Placido Vega made an excellent Gov- ernor while he was chief executive of this State, is @ progressive man, a friend of education, rallroada, telegraphs and all other enterprises that conid de- velop the resources of the State and add to the pros- perity of the people; but his former career in San Francisco and bis jlaseo during the Martinez revolu- tion, of which the readers of the HERALD have been fully advised, tell against his popularity and future prospects. ‘This review of revolutionary chieftams almost settles the question of not having another revolution in Sinaloa for at least a few months, Bat afier the rainy season is over and General Corona with lis forces are in beadquarters in Durango, and there are from ten to een Buropean vessels | + wailing to discharge to the lowest bidder, th a nor itubi may flnd the old maxim of “uneasy is the head that wears a crown” literally true as applied to himself.

It says that innovations on inveterate habits and custom naturally meet with dificulties and Iynt that in this case the beneficial results apparent as to silence opposition, Gover- nor Palacio will lend his: wi to make liately effective, and by doing this he nplished something not often done ‘an legislation, It ia also proposed to establish military colonies so as to give full protec. tion to life and property and guarantee the safety of travel on the high roads. An era of peace and pt perity, of agricultural and mining enterprises is for hopefully tn the future, and it ts only to be regretted that actual facts too often prove the very reverse of the brightest hopes. ‘The cris inal cases befure the Supreme Court are being puvlished im the official organ and make an umense list.

The purchase was made from Don Raphael Ortiz, who for eens nine years has worked the mines very suc- cessfully. Atiare now being worked by the Manta Granda Company on the old Mexican process, a rather slow but sure one, Owing to the enormous import duties on all mining materials the cheapness of the old process recommends itself to practical men, and especially in the present state of the coun- try. Importations of expensive machinery has been the cause of several mining failures among Ameri- cans. Froim the most reiiable authority we are led to belleve that these mines are very rich, the veins averaging sixteen feet and the ore running from $75 to $700 per ton. A letter to your corre- spondent from a source worthy of all credit respect- ing these mines says:—‘ I couid give you assays that would astonish you; but this is not ® proper way to judge of the richness of mines, The average value of the rock i# the true test. Having visited the celebrated Comstock lode, Virginia, Nevada and several of the most prominent mines in that vicinity, I fatled to see anything there taat would compare in richness to the Mexican mines. i am satisfied that if the Mexican government what it should be or was in the hands of Ame 4, #0 that capitalists would be justified in investing money in the development of mines, the result would astonish the world.” The Manta Granda, Sania Rosa and San Martin mines are owned by a Philadelphia compan; hich Mr, J.8. Waterman is president and Mr. J. M. Crawford treasurer, The supermtendent, Mr. Dickson Ki on the steamer for Guymas, left here last ev and has brought direct from the East improved water wheels and other machinery needed for the better working of the mines. He is fay ype by his brother, Mr. C. Rany, a tho- rough frat class mechanic. ’ Such practical men as the Rany brothers are needed to work American mines in Mexico, and not flashy, diamond wearing superintendents, who spend considerably more than their salary on fast horses, women and wine, STATR OF COAHUILA. ‘The translation of an able article, by an American, on ‘the Mines of Mexico,” appears in Ft Coahni- lense, of June 29, published at Saltillo, the capital. ‘The substance of it is that the mines of Mexico are the richest in the worid, but that owing to wars and revolutions they haye never been developed for the benefit of mankind, An accompanying editorial hopes and wistes that the working of mines in that State may be marked by the most brilliant success.

Last week has been a busy one at te Branch, po- liticaily and socially, The gathering of public men has been larger than ever, and the bustle and excite. ment in and about the Mansion House, Stetson’s and other hotels have given evidence of the near ap proach of the Democratic State Convention, as well as of asudden activity on the part of the 1epubli- cans. We have bad an important gathering of New York conservatives in the interest of Grant, and it fa rumored that they have been called together in order to receive the report of the progress of a movement inaugurated some time since by Thurlow Weed, which looks to the control of Grant’s adininistration, in case of his election, by the conserva- tive element headed by Senator E. D. Morgan, and the demolition of the Fenton faction, Hamiltem Harris, the chairman of the Republican New York State Central Committee, has been here, and is said to secretly favor the movement. Indeed, itis report- ed that a portion of the arrangement contemplatea the election of his brother, tra Harris, to the United States Senate in place of Morgan, and Morgan's transfer to the Cabinet as Secretary of the ‘Treasury. Tra Harris, it will be remem- bered, was thrown overboard by the Fentom men at the close of his term in the Senate, and Koa- coe Conkling was elected in his stead. Althougt Hataliton Harris has held with the Fenton party and just been chosen by them chairman of tie Central Committee, he is in the strictest sense of the term a family man, and understands ihe value of having a near relative in the Senate chamber of the national capitol Among those present at the Brano& on Saturday, and supposed to be in the ue are Ham Harris, United States revy enue officers Shook and Spaulding, State Ellas W. Leavenworth, Hugh peachment Wooley, Rans Van Valkenburg, Washington Treasurer, Kufe Andrews and farmer Abell, Ex-State Senator Low, of Sullivan, was om hand to watch the manoeuvres of his fellow couunit- tee man, and left this morning post haste to report progress to Fenton, It is very certain that the coa- Servative portion of the republicans are highly clated at the prospect before them, and boast that in case of Grant’s success they will hold the game in thew own hands, Thad Stevens’ death, they say, and Grant's old disgust of Butier, which tie recent sin- gular disclosures of George Wilkes have not helped to remove, free them from all fear of the radical im- Nuence at Washington, while they assert that they in possession of a letter from Wash- endorsing Morgan and expreas- ing wishes for the success at the New York movement in his fovor. George Wilkes was also down on Saturday watetung the conservatives and anxious, it is said, to place him- self on confidential relations with them, vut they re- fuse to receive him tuto their bosom, Among the democratic politicians here this past Week, in addition to Chamberiain Sweeny, his brother Jam Bradley, Judge Cardozo and other “old residen were ‘Police Cominissiones Brennan, C.

Vallandigham gives a good democratic account of the West, and talks modestly, but firmly, of a certain democratic victory., He declares his conviction that Ohio will be carried by the democracy by from three to four thousand majority, and his own election over Schenck, who will receive the republican nomination next Thursday, he considers certain. Last year hie Congressional district gave a democratic majority om tie State ticket of four hundred and seventy-seven, while on the direct issue of his own candidacy for the United States Senate, he curried the Legislative ticket by over eight hundred jority. He has been as far West a8 iowa, and representa the people as resolved upon a change, which they believe may better their condition and which th know cannot make it worse than it is after’ ey ears of radical rule. Vullandigham makes ao asta, but to look into his eye is to know that he at least firmly betieves all he promises. Fernando Wood will be at the Branch on Thursday next, having en; l rooms for that day at the Mansion. He is working hard to yore} m the Tammany leaders a renomination in his district, but not with any good prospect of success, The weather has been beautiful during the past week, and socially the Branch has been more lively than ever. ae od a juvenile fancy dresa ball was given at the Mansion, and it was a m brilliant success. The attendance of children, richly dressed in character, was quite large; the courte of Charles, Elizabeth and Louis were properly tan sented. There was a — Washington as high aa a table and a Martha Washington as tall aa the seat of a chair, There were ten year old armed war- riors, tive year old sailors and a little two yest old beauty who shene with all the belle of the seventeenth century. here were Scotchmen, — ofc flower girl Spaniarda, Greeks, summers, aucumns, springs, follies, ils of ascene pantaloons, harlequina, eolombines a ail ages and sizes, and the whole for fun, gayety, grace and beanty not to be surpassed. Ta addition to some eighty or a hundred children, alt elegantly dressed, there were some two thousand grown persons assembled, and the event was one that will long be remembered at the Mansion, and indeed all over the Branch. An elegant supper waa served at nine o'clock and at ten the party broke up, and -the little kings, queens, knighta, princesses and other fanciful characters were soom afterwards pattering with their little bare feet to bed, and quickly dreaming in their white nighteapa and nightgowns of fairy palaces and liiliputina courts. It was a delightful attair.
