In Uncle Samuel, the demonstrations bo come more

an the western slope of the Roc lev Mountains. The star
apaaglod banner will also be floating around in the most
beral way. It will shield with tie protecting folds at

many nbrond, which we take it is quite sufficient for one
piece Of bunting. Our institutions, good and bad, will

EDWARD M. SKIDMORE,

The Veteran Corps of the war of 1812 will parade "with
cookadeaas usual." Some awindler imposed upon the
old gentlemen last year, and ao they aay, "Please bring
this note with jou, as ws were Imposed upon by a false
reporter last Fourth of July. Wa meet at 10 o'clock A. M."
That fellow ought (o be deprived of the amell of powder
for tho roe t of his exlatenoe.
Here is another rather rich communication:?
Naw York, July 1st, 1860.
The two orations for the Fourth of July 1860. Mr.
Burdctt (the so called "Lion of Literature," which In his
estimation is a groaa misnomer) will deliver two orations
on tho Fourth?Provideaoe permitting? via: One at Rye,
Westchester City: the other at the Lunatic Asylum on
Blackwell's bland. The first will take place at noon, and
oe gratuitously op#n to tne public ana the press. The
other, which will occupy two hoars in the delivery (III)
he will publish in neat form and sell for ten cents per oopy.
COLD WATER OH THR FOURTH OF JULY?HYDRANTS
FOB THB PEOPLE OH BROADWAY.
We find that our suggestions for the erection of public
hydrants for drinking purposes are gradually being adopted
In some shape or other. Mr. John Flinder, the Oroton
Water Surveyor, on Saturday set a number of men to
work on Broadway, for the purpose or accommodating
the multitude of people with a drink of the purs Crotou on
the 4th init. It seems Mr. Flender has chosen every
other hydrant on Broadway, from the Battery to Four,
teentn street, to which he attaches a cup and chain. A
small hole Is bored into the cap of the hydrant, through
which a stream is to be kept running from sunrise on
Monday until the following morning. TO the many thou,
sanaa wt k_? hnings. especially children, who congregate
on Broadway to view the military prooemion, uug
facility for obtaining a drink will, no doubt, bo thankfully
received.
EXCURSIONS.
or course the various r?Uro*d and steamboat lines are
making their arrangement* to reap a golden harvest from
the many who will be anxious to escape from the "noise
and confusion" of Jubilant Young America in the metropolis
to places more or less rural ana remote. On many of
the railroad lines excursion trains will be run at reduced
rates of fair, and beeides these the following special excursions
by rail and steamer are advertised:?
The "large, swilt and magnlOoeat" sound steamer Connecticut
is to leave the pier at the foot of Cortlandt street
at 9 o'clock, foot of Spring street at 9:30, and Peoksllp,
East river, at 10, and then make the circuit of Siaten Is-,
land, giving the passengers an opportunity of witnessing
two "grand regattas"?that of sail, olT Perth Am boy at 12
o'clock, and the city's rowing match off the Battery, on
her return m the afternoon, to say nothing of the superb
scenery on land and ooean, smilling villas and villages,
grim forts and gay fleets, to be seen all along the route. The
Connecticut belongs in tho line between New York and
Boston, and is well known to the travelling portion of the
oommunity, including these who are In the habit of visiting
Mount Washington by that favorite route. She will
take along a "splendid band of music," and as it costs
only a dollar for a man and his wife or sweetheart theround
trip; she is not likely to go empty.
The favorite steamer Keyport Is to make a similar trip,
namely, to Keyport, Fort Hamilton, Cliff wool, and around
Staten Island, from various landings oh the North river,
at the same prioe, and also aocompanled with n band of
music. The steamers Bed Jacket and Kill Yon Kull are
are also to so around Staten Island, from pier No. 2 North
river, and the latter from the foot of Spring street and
pier No. 2 North river?the price for the ex ours ion on
either boat being only twentyflvo cents.
Our advertising columns also promise excursions to the
Fishing Banks, by the steamer Croton; to Newport
and Providence, by the steamer Governor; to Harlem and
High Bridge, by the three steamers In that line; to the
Cholera banks (ominous name), thirty miles off Fire
Island,In the "large, safe soa steamer," Huntress; to New
Haven, by the Elm City; to Keyport, by the Alice Price;
to Northport, by the Geo. Law; to the Highlands of Nevisink
and elsewhere In ihat direction, by the Highland
Light and Long Branch; to Glen .Cove, by steamers Long
Island and Confidence; to the Fishing Bmks, by the Island
Borne; and to West Point and Newburg, by the steamers
Hendrik Hudson and South America.
Our readers of an aquatic turn will please take their
chotoe. They have s wide field for selection. Nor are
those who may dread the watery element without inducements
to spend the day abroad. The Long Island Railroad
adverllsos excursions all the way, or any part of.tbo
way to Greenport, and back'ln time for the fireworks; tho
Hudson River Railroad to Poughkeopsle and back, and the
Northern Railroad of New Jersey to Piermont and back.
Surely no one need stay in the city who has any wish to
get out or it.

lng, noon and night; national salutes are to be fired at
Fort Greene and Greenpetnt, and In the evening fireworks
will be let off at the City Hall and at the corner of Alnslee
street and Graham avenue. Dodsworthl Bud has been
engaged for the City Hall, and Turn's.IUnd for the other
place. The Declaration of Independence will be real In
Iron! ef the City Hall at ten o'alcck, and Professor Raymond,
of the Polytechnic Institute, will then deliver an
oration. Several of the military companies have resolved
to come oi#on "their own hook," and the rest must depend
on the tire crackers, squibs, popguns and patriotism
of the youngsters,

united bands, making a total of eighty performers. No. 1
on the lint of pieces to be played Is " Yankeo Doodle," No.
10 " Hail Columbia," and the finale Is " Old Hundred."
During the performance of some of the pieces

THE CONCLUSION.

It la an old adage "that a little precaution la sanNary

r suggesting through your columns a precautionary
teas ore, little In itself, hut which tf followed may be
ciurg 10 me wiin singular tenacity, and would not listen
to his medical attendants when they expressed the ballet
that bis recovery was next to impossible. Cosgrove was
an old Fourth warder, and for years past was an active
supporter of the democratic party in that district. He was
continually engaged in brawn and quarrels, and on more
than one oocaaloa was forced to see the Inside of the rombs
in consequence. He was an exact counterpart of the no
torteus Paudeen, although not quite so vindictive perhaps.
His eerapes, where the knife, the revolver and the brass
knuckle were brought into play, were so numerous that a
narrative of them would occupy a space of several
columns. He went to California about two years ago, but
did not remain there long. At the tUne of hie departure
for San Francisco he was under bonds to the amount of
>1,000 to eniwcr s complaint In an assault and battery
case. His bondsman was left in the lurch, bat we believe
be was subsequently indemnified by eome of the fugitive's
ft lends.
It is generally believed that Oosgrove knew very well
who gave blm the fatal thrust, but be refuted to reveal
the man'* name?not through any motive of friendahlp,
however, but beoause be meditated taking the law into
hie own bands as soon as he reoovered. Some
days previous to hie death Coroner Jackman 1
visited the deceased and asked him if he
did not want to make a dflng declaration, and give such
information as wouftt lead to the arrest of hit assailant.
The dying man teemed much annoyed at the intrusion of
the official, and remarked tfaat he was aa good as a doean
dead men. He had not the most remote idea of dying,
but on the oontrary he believed be would soon be well
enough to whip the fellow who stabbed him. Ounoac
count would he reveal the name of hie assailant, as he intended
to take the law in his own hands Just as qalck us
he wss sblo to stir out.

to be some doubt on the point of provocation. The jury

NAPOLEON'S VIEWS ON THE WAR.
COUNT WALBWBSl TO M. DB BANNBVILLB.
[Communicated to the Earl of Matmesbury by the Duke ot
Malakoff, Hay 8. ]
Paris, April SB, i860.
8IB?At the moment that I have the honor at writing
this despatch to son I can hardly doubt that the Twloo
haa boon erased by the Austrian army. 1 have already
Informed you, by my telegraphic message at the
28th of April, the meaning which the government of the
Emperor would see itself obliged to ascribe to such a damonstrttioii.
If the precipitation of events renders, unfortunately,
discussion superfluous, U|)s my duty to recall la a fewwords
s general summary of the eveols which show, at
the some time, the Impsrlens necessity of our conduct,
sad the perMversace of our efforts, la order to arrive at
a different result. gBra
The government of the Emperor assuredly has not to
justify the solicitude with which the stale of things in
Italy inspired It. The crisis which has now ootne in the
centre of the Peninsula gives but too sanob cause for our
foresight; and It has, la met, sufficed to as to make know*
our apprehensions, In order that the great Powers of Europe
might partake In them to the sanft'degree as ourselves.
this simultaneous agreement of the Cabinets, in then
eu to lita yesterday.
I called this afternoon on Count Walawtkl, when his Excellency
Informed me that the Emperor had regretted not
baying seen me before bis departure, as bis Majesty hal
been partlcu'arly desirous to state to me the sentiments
under which he was about to take field; but, in consequence
of my absence from Paris, Hit Wa|erty, Just before
his departure, bad written to CRunt Waiewski, charging
blin to atsuro me that in assuming the commend of his
army His Majesty's intentions wore to Itcalite the wir at
much at potsMf, to respect t.?r neutrality of Germany, to
give no countenance to any attempts at revolution, more especially
with regard to Turkey, uhot* poesestions in the Adriatic
would be tnrvpulnutly respected, and to cortfine hit military
operations to driving the Avitrians out ef the LombardoVwtsan
Kmgdiea. His Msj-sty further declared that
he wo*M ever be ready to treat fur peace when suitable conditions
were offered Mm
I did not conceal form Count Waiewski my apprehenslcns
that the Emperor's programme could sot bo carried
out. It was not likely, I saM, that Austria would consent
to dlapostcss herself of her Italian pomosstots until after
a series of reverses that might bring the French troops
to ire walls of Vienna. Under such circumstances, I
hardly needed to sdd that the war wiuld not remain
localised or s purely Austrian and Italian war. men,
spain, wltb recpect to the Eupr tor's lntcntln^) give no
cour.irnanoe to revolutions, but little aUemidFwouli be
be rstd ,0 that assurance so long as Sardinia, the friend
?Ld aby of France, was acting In a diametrically contrary
spirit. Nobody would believe that France could not prevent
this. However, the Emperor's declare'.,on wl'h regard
to Turkey would be received with satisfaction by her
Mejeaty-a government, and 1 trusted that the French government
would exert the inflow** which they possessed
over the Russian and Hardin an governments to Induce
them to abfta'n from pro ?king complications in the East.
ftunt Walewtkx rrplixt th>d he had great hopes that the
war would rut be of Img duration, ?d that a few months
would tee the end <f it.
With respect to the observations which I had made respecting
the proceedings of Sardinia, Onant Waiewski sail
that he coincided in tbem entirely, and tnat bo had bal a
long conversation on this subject with the E n aero - previous
to his M?Joety's departure; and, with his '
avtborization, be had written to Tinn to say u?*i Sard'L'.a

here the proud conviction that the Cbagreeo assembled
under the oondtttoos which the OhMnot of SL Petersburg
bad proponed for lie convocation, and confining itself to
the r'" traced out for tta deUberatlooa by the government
cT Her Britannic Majesty, wonld have tally revolved
the difficulties which prudence no longer permitted to bn
left unheeded.
Who could now doubt that the rock on which the work
of conciliation apUt waa the pretension put forward by the
Court of Vienna on the subject of a disarmunentof which
It would probably have been more Just and morn true to
ray that Court had to give the example?
Had not Sardinia, in fact, accepted, without any afterthought,
the ettuatioa which would result for her from
the terms of the Russian proportion, and If military preparations
bad already b en effected upon her territory,
bee Idea that the disproportion of force*
made all a{ greet ton on her part inadmissible, did
not the mott obvious reasons Impose up in her
the doty of waiting quietly for the decistoo of the
great Powers? No guarantee, m a word, was more real
or more complete for Austria than the Immediate assembly
of the Congreee; and If the fi<at condition, of which
the demanded the fulfilment before answering the appeal
of the Allies?a condition considered lnuoceptable by all
the world?gave rise subsequently to combinations which
he was the flrat to reject, it la permitted to me to state
jmi at the beginning, aa well aa at tne end, the obetacte to
the harmony which waa the wish of the other c inrta waa
only encountered at Vie ana.
The attention, air, acquired, no doubt, through so many
dalxn. an importance which became more and more
ertoua, oat the bona fcftkmwu) or good intentions which
bad been formed and maintained lls-df to Urn end between
the OaWnete of Parte, Dei Ha, I/radon and St Petersburg,
oppoied, so to tay, Its reetstnnce to the perils of this situation.
Nothing waa irremediably compromised, when
Austria, not satisfied with refusing its cousent to the last
K3 positions of England, took the step or addressing to
rln a summons, at brief notioe, which must per force
have altered our attitude.
The government of the Emperor would only see In the
general position of the affblrs of Italy a great European
qnraUcn, the settlement of which demanded the oo operation
of all its allies. These affairs, nevertheless, were
bound up, on one aide only, with interests which ooncerned
It In a more personal and particular manner. Austria herself,
In premising net to begin hostilities against Piedmont,
recognized by implication tne ex sieace of a limit whtnH
the most lively desire for a peaceful solution could ooiallow
us to let her go beyond.
The government of the Emperor had betides announced
that tf it (Jtl not suataln Sardinia In anaggretelve attempt r
It would give ber 1U support lor defensive measures, thin
engagement entailed an ooliga Jon from which the Court
of Vienna or.lv oould exempt na.
Informed of the menace which weighed upon Piedmont
at such brief notice, we were obliged ut to snort a space
to put onrtelves In a position to mitigate its consequences;
and npoo the demand of bit Majesty the King of Sardinia,
the advanced guard of the Free oh army entered
his territory. Sympathies which we do not hesitate
to proclaim would have with difficulty permitted ut to remain
lndiliferent to the trials of a country In close relatione
with France, but more positive reasons influenced our
conduct when that country was our near neighbor,
marched with one of our frontiers, and formed the last
obstacle to the extension of an Influence which England,
Prussia and Russia, like us, looked upon as being
already of a nature either to compromise the 'equilibrium
of Europe or to ktep up in that par' of Italy of which It
had been Intended to constitute independent and sovereign
States a perpetual cause of agitation and confusion.
In coming, sir, to a resolution, of whiohlhave explained
the purely defensive character, the government of the
Emperor made It a point not to allow the Court of Vienna
to remain in ignorance that its ultimatum, and the evonI
tualilcs which it so clearly exposed. laid down, besides the
general question, until then treated of In common by the
Cabinets of Paris, Berlin, London sod ft. Petersburg
I a purely French question It was a last warning, a tut
attempt to prevent, while It was stiU time, Austria and
Francs from meeting else* here than on Urn ground of an
European discussion, the sentiments which have not
ceased to animate the government of the Emperor, I fear
not tn this solemn moment mrself to guarantee, did not
lead it to the extremities to which another will has fatally
conducted it. It is the passage of the Ticino which obliges
os to cross the Alps, while declining befbre Europe the responsibility
of the events. You ought, then, sir, as soon
