Msny years after this (fifteen I think,)
Miss Aimer was, visiting far away from

Remarks Were offered and etperieooee re-!aU-d,
by many laborers in the good work
of inatruotion of vbuth, and, . at length
a gentlemen rose and expressed ft wish to
gay a word to the banaorteacnors, on ins

his remarks, related the story I have giv

these words t
"I am that lnd i -those were the first

to reward tne friend ol my youth, in the
only way In my power, tamely, by living
so as to spread by precept and example,

Miss Aimer listened to this rboiUI with
an agitated henrt, for sho reoognied in
the speaker the lit tie Johnuy whom she
had never forgotten. She sought n in
terview, and learned his history. ' How
after leaving his early home, the Jove of

The wholo country on the right bank
is a trap.' Add to this an intrenched camp
of 80,000 picked-tro pa, tlated by prom
ise ot royal rewards.
' Monte San Anijeto, the key of the de
feoi-c'commanding the course of the Vol
turno, has triolo batteries entrusted to
the GenneB artillerymen and to Col. Span
tero's corps of General Eber's brigade,
under the direotion of Captain Ferrare.
To this position Garibaldi ha9 paid espe
cial care. ' He bus visited about filty times
the batteries, which' consist of 1 tweuty
elght'guns. i. ;ut : -
On t-atuiday I took tlio railway and
visited Santa Maria. On the preceding
day the fire of the 'outposts was inors

to strike a blow lor Garibaldi's plan is lo
remain on the defensive. I met the Mar
quis Pallavicini returning from Caserta.
At Sunta Maria I found Giriba'.di much
agitated, thoughtful, his face blackened by
exposure to the sun. The siation was
full of artillery carriages guns, &o. and
aids-de-camps were giving order for all
t be Dushed on towards the Volturno.
During the night I heard the sound of
cannon towards Santa -Angela. 1 he night
passed quietly. - ' - " -
On Sunday, the 36th of September, At

soldiers were signed to the barracks: Gar

tinued to arrive and artillery galloped
through the town. The face of the peo
ple are pale and agitated.' The trioolor
flag is partially :aken down Irom some of
the houses, and tho gates of many of them.
I started tor San Angelo when I heard
the voice of cannon,, and ' I arrived in
time. Two baltallions, commanded by
CHstetliani, were attempting to - throw a
bridge vor the Voltureno. Protected by
Monta's artillery they advanced by a cov
ered road, and succeeded in launching
two boats, but the enemy perceived the
manoeuvre. Immediately the right bank

immediately teot on by railway to Caser

ed or wounded. The Sicilians made a
great noise and did but little fighting.
The National Guard of Santa Mara wa on
foot, but having prudently placed, their
flag in the guard bouse,. doted the doors
and windows.
At noon the roar of the cannon ceased.
The fire ol musketry at the Archi of San
la Maria continued unabated. A smile
began to play upoA the lips, and the col
or to reappear in the cheeks, of many
patriots.; At mis moment I was told a
train wa leaving lor Naples. I left the
outposts to write yon an account of a por
tion of the battle, the first act of the cap
tureot'Capua. The King commanded is person, dres
sed in pNin tlothes. He was continually
seen under fire. Garibaldi, as usual was
everywhere, especially where the danger
was greatest. '
- We have 1,200 men hori it combat
The loss ol the royalists, is about 3.000.
The battle lasted from half past three
in the morning till seven in the evening.
It is evident that this formidale attack was
the last effort of Francis, II, who, had
he been victorious, would have marched
on this capital. But about midday the pa
triots weie driven back everywhere and
considered the battle as lost, Garibaldi
alone, who commanded in person, was of
a contrary opinion, and under a teinble
fire from the enemy ,he wrote a despatch an
nouncing full success. He then declar
ed to his soldiers, who thought themselves
vanquished, that they were victors, and
they believing him, attacked the royal
is'.s with such imnetuosiiv that at three
o'clock in the tf:erroon the latter gave
way, tnd we were pursued at the point ol
the bayonet light into Capua, Mere boys
lushed on men and killed them. There
was an appalling massacre The patriots
being exasperated but the number of
killed has not yet been ascertained. Gar
ibaldi narrowly escaped being killed. He
was returning in a carriage from Sun An
gelo to Santa Maria when he was all at
once filed on from an ambuscade: the ve
hide was riddled with balls, and some of
his escort were killed, but be was not
touched, and ho made tLe test of his
route on foot.'
Among other incidents of battle, it is
recorded that at one of the most critical
moments of the day, Garibaldi asked for
one hundred resolute men, and amonir

. ARRIVAL Or TUB PRISONERS IH NAPLIS.
Yesterday (Oct.S.)the 2,500 prisoners
were taken by rail to Naples. At the
station a few hundred national guard were
waiting lor them, wbo oonduoled them tr.
the Fort of St. Elmo. When the priso
ners saw the national eunrd they asked
jeeringly, "Whether the Austrians bad
not yet skinned them?" The taunt was
not understood until further explanation.
The prisoners asked Where the Aastrians
were, AS they had been told thy had oc
cupied Naples, and defeated Garibaldi,
who was now between two fires. When
they saw the Piedmontese at St. Elmo,
they Asked) astonished, who they were
and when told that they Were Piedmonte
se, a new light teemed to dawn upon them.
It is with such lies that the Neapolitans
tried to rats the spirit of their soldiers
and of their officers, foi the ignorance of
'.he latter cedes nothing to that of the sol
dh-fs. For instance, this morning a Ne
pou tan major or tbo Urenndier liuards
came ia with his carpet-bag, waving a
White handkerchief, And when asked about
his busiheSs he Said be had given in his
resignation on account of family affairs,
and that it bad been accepted. In talk
ing with him about diverse things he in
quired whether thfc Piedmontese and La
moriciere had not already come to blows,
and was quiet surprised to hear that the
Roman army existed no more, that An
oona was ours, and Lamorioiuro too.

The following is i letter fiOrH a vener

And slaughter, a most psciHd And retiring
disposition: On the 9th It Seemed gen

take place, almost immediately, close to
Capua. We therefore started at 2 o'olock

archway at the extremity of the town,
barricaded by the trunks of trees and
bushes: here was the commencement of
the road leading directly to Capua, about
three miles off. As the Neapolitans
were occasionally firing down the road,
it was for each gentleman, more especially
for the amateur1. U make his own estimate

his ardent mind when under pressure,

with the latter, my opinion that discretion
is the belter part of valor, strengthening
with experience. - However, James star

how great a blunder is panic Shot after

was now separatedand I returned ty
myself to the highway, tho firing down

The natural consequence was the loss
of many officers, including one general,

how the knot is doited between body and
