The exoitement throughout Italy caused by the defeat of General Barateri reoently by " the Abyssimans, with loss of from 5,000 to 10,000 men killed and wounded, ao- oording to generally oredited reports', shows little signs of abatement It is true,, however, that, the disturbance caused by the news of the great disas ter and tbe consequent display of in dignation against the government has been greatly inoreased by the calling out of the army reserves of the class of 1872, which calls 80,000 additional men into aotive servioe. The great majority of these reserves are married men, whose families will be thus de prived of their chief or only support for an indefinite period. .Thus, at Milan and other plaoes, serious rioting has occurred when the reserves were prepairng to obey orders, and in many oases they have been prevented by foroe. Women and ohildren lead the trouble. , Railroad cars have been de molished, rails torn up and telegraph wires cut, and the polioe have been beaten and stoned, into helplessness.
