PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOPOR 30, 1860,
Our Poet's Corner.
A short time ago, when we published, in this
column, specimens of new and good poetryby'
four different writers—American, English,'
Irish, and Scotch—we challenged some of our
own bards to write, and the result already baS
been about as many contributions as, on a mo
derate estimate, would make a 12mo volume
of some two hundred and fifty pages. Much
to our gratification, and, we confess, not a
little to our surprise, the greater number of
these poems are greatly above the average
merit of newspaper verses. Some of them,
indeed, aro worthy of a place in any Antholo
gla or collection of fugitive pieces. In due
time, we shall publish these poems, and we
shall commence, now and here.
Giving the precedence, like true knights (of
the pen), to our fair correspondents, wq now
place before our readers two poems by ladies.
We commence with a legend, from the pen
of Mrs. Helen Marion Walton, (Brooklyn,
L. 1.,) who has written largely and well in Now
York periodicals and other journals, and to
whom our own WEEKLY Puns has been much
indebted for contributions in prose and poetry.
Some of her lyrics are indeed models of
tenderness, sweetness, perfect modulation,
and forcible expression. What follows is
rather longer than usual, but our readers will
scarcely regret that
THE NUN OF ST. EDITH'S
BY MILAN MARION 'WALTON.
The belle are chiming !mil on St Edith a ancient
The light is fading slowly in St. Edith's sacred halls ;
The air is warm with incense, the altar itch with gold,
And the Virgin =meth kindly on flashing Jewels old.
On St Edith's holy altar the sacred candies burn.
The light falls strange and fitful on many amouldering
"Urn.
Through St. Edith's stained windows the dying dayligh
• ',loam,
Through Dance of gold and or imron the purple tWiligh
streams.
It to the hour of wolehip—the hour of evening prayer.
And sweetly taints the vesper hymn on the dew
breathed evening air:
The organ high is pealing with mini° dr ep and slow,
The vesper limn is stealing in accents gad and low.
As the manic faints
In that dim old hall,
The pictured saints,
On the dark gray wall,
Are smiling sweetly down
st. David with his golden crown,
Cecilia with her dove like eyes.
That ever seem anew to rise
With ft eel' devotion to the skies.
One there is who stands aloof
From the troop of pious sincere,
One who in the shadowy distance.
Bad and pale and weeping lingers.
Why with eyes down-oast, and tears,
Why with bosom choked and panting,
While the white-robed sisterhood.
Deep their vesper hymn aro ohaunting.
Thinks she of a lover bold ?
May she ever be forgive n
Tuns to dream of earthly love—
She, the very bride of Heaven !
She hath stolen softly from the sato.
She bath mounted a coal-black steed
And fast and far in the moonlit east
St. k dith's towers recedo.
A knightly form is by her side,
A knight in bright steel clad ;
His sable plume on her snowy robe
Oasts a shadow dark and sad.
o'er hill and dale, through forest and stream,
Pier snowy robes in the moonlight gleam.
Their path is beset with rugged steeps.
O'er fearful °litre the courser leaps;
Across the track atorrent gushes,
Through its rocky bed the black steed rushes
Up in the air the silver flashes
As hie hoof through the shallow water dashes.
A river gleams in the moonlight clear,
And the rugged banks are deep and sheer.
On its breast sad willows darkle,
In broken shade the white waves sparkle.
They have leaped the bank—they are breasting the
wave—
The good steed struggling the current to brave ;
They have reached the shore—tney have mounted
the steep—
They aro hastening on thron.li the forest deep
VI.
Tho dark old pine tree groans
,Tbrouthont its leafy bower, •
And emerald spires and bright fir cones
Upon the lovers 4hower
The pliant willow murimi.s
As its floating looks are tangled.
And the pallid aspen quivers,
i.e her dainty limbs are mangled.
The vine Is sadly shrinking
Where the iron hoof has mashed her,
And the thirsty earth is drinking
The blood of many a cluster.
Knight and dame are swiftly riding
Across the heather bloom.
Where the souls of purple flowers
06 up In their death perfume.
the faithful steed is panting hard—
His strength is failing fast;
When the roar of distant surges
Deepens the Northern blast. •
The dark blue ooean gladdens
The lover's straining eight,
And the western waves are dashing
With broken foam flakes white ;
The clement moon is riding
On the elond-waves of the west;
And the quivering starlight nestles
On old ocean's heaving breast
They have reached the shore of the western sea,
They have entered a vessel fleet;
They are sailing away with the northern wind.
As It fills the snowy sheet.
The maiden sadly gages bank
As the land of friends and home—
The land of birth and kindred—
Dinka ix the angry foam.
But to an old Provonnal tune
Her lover gaily sings,
And sweetly on the evening air
The cheering musio rings.
THE LOVER'S BONG AT SEA
Oh! weep no more
For the fading shore,
For the feet-receding land.
Our love is new,
Our hark is true.
And on her dock we stand.
Now high, now low,
O'er the deep we go.
The dark blue sea before—
The skies are light,
The stars are bright,
And Heaven is smiling o'er.
In sunny climes,
Where the golden limes
Cluster mid foliage fair.
Whore earth and heaven
For love seems given,
We'll make our dwelling there.
Six times the rosy-bosomed morn
Left her couch in the dappled east
Five times the sable robes of night
Curtained the golden west:
Six days they sailed, as glad they hailed
The evreeinnfr northern breeze.
Till the dark cliff of grim Teuritfe .
Frowned on the anthem Has.
Then, when the golden sun was low,
Kissing the western wave,
When the dying day was putting on
The dusk of its nightly grave ;
While gorgeous evening colors all
The West with sunset pride,
With a whispered prayer and n stifled sigh
The nun of St. Edith's died.
XL
Where tee first adventurous sailers brought their weary
barks to land—
Where now the snow-white villas of sunny Funchal
stand—
There on a Mod,' hillside .where crimson guavas
wave,
math a winding sheet of daisies they made that lost
one's grave.
And a hermit heat and broken his lonely vigils kept,
'Till e'er the years were many beside her grave ho
slept.
And now in fair Madeira, when the tropic, day is done;
And over the Western sea the evening breeze comes
on;
When nimble feet are weary with the manse of the
dance.
Some gentle heart recalleth the voles of old romance.
Then children's eyes are tearful and lovers' cheeks
grow pale.
And white lips murmur ma) era as low they breathe
this tale.
Above those long-forgotten graves grows many a droop
ing vine :
They say it is her blood that stains Madeira's sunny
wine. '
And as we feel the olieerfu. glow more generous AtICO3
shed,
We dow with (ears the memory of the erring and the
dead.
Nogl wO have another poetess, Eleanor D.
Donnelly, of this city, of whom we know so
little that we aro unable to pronounce, for the
benefit of the curious, whether she be maid,
matron, or widow. All wo de know is that we
have read some thoughtful poetical contribu

much been aid and written about tho Shake•

Forrest, Esq. L'ho total amount expended by Mr.
Forrest, in os,M to swum the choices' editions,
old and new, ofibo works of the great master, was

Another "Othello," published in 1695, at $3 83;
and still another, with two essays, on Shakspeare by
Woistenholose Farr, at $3.
A Supplement to the plays of Shakspeare, emu
prising nit the dramas which have been ascribed
'to hie pen, bat ITO not {needed with his writings
in modern editions; edited, with uotes and intro
duetion to each play, by W. Gilmore Simms, Esq ,
of South Carolina, published in 1918, at $1 87'.
The meat valuable ohakspeare t= rm. Gino vol.
!cotton, however, was that printed in '1623, seven
'years after the death of the great master. Mr.
Forrest regards it as the most oorreot edition ex
tant, and it is believed to be the only copy In the
United States. It was purchased by WM. B. Bur-
Jo's), in 1851, of T. and W. Boone, booksellers ,
London, and the single volume cost him $llO.
The letter of the MOMS. Boone, apprising Mr.
Burton of the purchase, we have road. They
taste that if he is dissatisfied with the book, they
will gladly take it book, and refund the money.
For this Shakspeare Mr. Forrest has repeatedly
offered $6OO. It contains all the oomediee, histo
ries, and tragedies published according to the true
original copies, and is the very first folio edition
ever printed. Isaac, Jaggard and Edward Blunt
were the printers. The portrait of Sbakepoaro is
evidently authentic. The book measures 12;
inches high, by 80 inches wide, and was bound at
a later period in red morocco, by Bedford.
Twenty-two of the thirty-six Shakspeare plays
in this volume had never boon previously published
in any form whatever. Of those, it is the patent
text which imparts an extraordinari value to it
Mr. Forrest paid for this booles37o. lie also se•
eured the second impression of the above copy,
published in 1032; the third impression, published
In 1603, and the fourth impression, published In
1685—paying, we believe, for these three volumes,
some $250.
The next was Boydell'a splendid edition of nine
volumes, choice proofs of all the plates, and a set
of etchings, published in 1802. Alderman Boy
dell, of London, was a great patron of the tine arts,
and employed tha best artists of England, without
any restriction as to price, to paint from subjeots
selected from Shakispeare, and the illustrations of
this book were taken from these paintings. This
Shnkspeare, at the time it appeared, was pronounced
to he the choicest copy in the world, and was the
result of the most patriotic and sumptuous under
taking that ever emanated from - any publisher.
Boyden was a printer of engravings. Feeling a just
pride in the Bard of Avon, he resolved to collect
and publish a perfect edition 'of Bhakspeare,
which should not only be a tribute to the poet,
but a triumph in the art of printing. It is well
worthy of the examination and admiration of all
those who delight in fine specimens of the "art
preservative of all arts." The engravings, the
etchings, and the latter-press, will surprise pub
lishers and printers of the present day. Mr. For
rest paid for these volumes $2OO.
As a comparison to Boydell'a glialtopeare, and
far aurpasaing it in the design and execution, Mr.
Forrest purchased Malliwell'a great folio and stu
pendous work, being " the writings of William
Shulman° from the text, formed by a new colla
tion of the early editions of the novels and tales
on which the plays are founded, copious Brehm°.
logical annotations, an assay on the formation of
the text, and a long and elaborate life of the
poet, by J. 0. llalllwell, F. R. B.
Of this gorgeous publication only one hundred
and.fifty copies are to be printed, after which the
engravings and.types are to be destroyed—so that
it must bo constantly rising in price. There are
to be twenty folio volumes in all—the ninth being
now ready for delivery. The paper, ink, typo de
corations, ,of this work, surpass anything that
hat proceeded from the press. Nothing in the
life of Shakspeare seems to have been omitted.
Every incident is described, and illustrated by an
engraving His will, in his own handwriting, a
fag-simile of his marriage contract with Ann
Hathaway; the books ho read, his residence, to.
gothor with original and elegant representations
of the places themselves ; copious allusions to the
different contests that have grown out of the va
rious constructions of his text—in fact, all that the
literary world has said or written on this inex
haustible subject. For this splendid copy Mr.
Forrest paid $3200
Apart from the value of those purchases in a
literary point of view, no ono can examine the
works themselves without tracing the history of
printing from the time when Shakspeare lived,
down to the present day. The rude quartos pub
liehod under his own eye—then the more elaborate
edition, some seven years after his death—
and so on from year to year, and from
century to century, until, finally, we have
before us the magnificent edition just described.
It gives ue pleasure to say that it is Mr. Forreat's
intention to remove this Bhakspearian collection to
his library in this city, and we trust it will remain
here for centuries. J. W. F.

than One false alarm and a sending backwarde and 1
' forwards of troops, moat people began to give dp
"the idela of any Offensive intentions OD the pare of
Hie Neapolitans. -As for Garibaldi, although de
termiried on thei defensive, it would have been too
much egainstilis nature to be there and do nothing;
so, -while keeping on the defensive, ho was making
preparations to take tho offensive at the drat op
portune moment.
The heighta of San Angelo and the Buse° di San
Vito term an isolated long range, which runs from
the northwest of Caserta towards the Volturno,
passing to the left of the plain of Santa Maria di
Capita, and renehing the Volturno about two miles
to the northeast of Capna. It is all along a pre
elettous Mountain on both sidee, and oomes down
ad precipitously to the river, leaving only a narrow
place - wiser° the road from Claim, skirting the
mountaip, mina towards the Sega dl Cajazzo.
Well, 'Garibaldi had looked at that position on
the 19th, and had looked at it almost every day
since. - It Trllltjust one of those positions which he
likes..-commanding the country all round, close to
the river, whioh is rapid there but narrow, a good
many trees down in the plain, and plenty of brush
wood on the heights. Several batteries were or
dered to sweep the road which passes along the op
posite bank of the river; a trench was dug not far
from the hank of the river to give good eover for
riflemen, and a number of haws were brought up
from Naples to be in roadiness in case an opportu
nity offered to orosa. At the same time a consider
able number of troops wero colleoted at that spot.
Besides the Brigade epangaro, stationed there since
the 19th, there were successively sent there the
company of Genoeso riflemen, the Brigade Dunn,
(lately arrived from Stelly,) one of the regiments
of the Division Medici, and the body of the Cala
brese volunteers.
The position deserved the attention which was
bestowed on it, but had ono drawback—it had its
left flank and its line of communication with Santa
Maria rather exposed.
On the right the position was tolerably guarded;
there is, indeed, a footpath whieh comae from the
river over the heights at the back of St. Angelo,
but at first it was only accessible to small bodies of
infantry, and thus the heights were guarded by
our troops. On the other side of the heights was
Sacohi, with his brigade, guarding tho road from
Cejazzo to Caserta, and at the same time occupying
the heights of Castel Moroni, and observing the
passage at Limatola. To the right again of Bacohi
was Bixio with his brigade, and ono of Medlei's
regiments, who watched over the road coming from
Amoroti towards Maddeloni. At Caserta. was Gen.
Tu rr, with part of his division.
You must thus conceive our position as forming
a largo seraioire,!e, following the hill line along the
Volturno as far as Limatolo, and then bonding
back, while Santa Maria, Caserta, and the Madda
lent, form the chord of this aro. The era alone is
from nine to ten miles, while the semicircle is quite
three times that length.
Well, on all this long line the Neapolitans at
tacked with all their forces yesterday at dawn.
Garibaldi,' as usual, started before dawn from
Caserta by the railway to t ante Maria. When he
arrived the firing had already begun. The three
places, Capfl, Santa Maria, and the spur of Bt.
ngelo, form almost an equilateral triangle, which
to indic. ,, Aby the three roads which connect these
plaice. They run with little curves almost straight
—that from cuPtia ry `' --- - -4 -‘4l-aria parallel to the
railway, and that from Santa/norm
wane distance from the hills till close to this latter
ace, whore it is joined by the read coming from
'spun.
'Title triangle, which is in most parts thickly
wooded 'with olives and other trees, and has few
open spots, the Neapolitans had chosen as their
nom of operations on our left, and as the chief at
tack of the day. During the night all tho troops
stationed in tho Polygon behind had passed
through the town, and had collected in the Campo,
a large open space before the fortress. Hero they
opened out In two directions—one column, the left,
towards St. Angelo, and that on the right towards
Santa Maria.
I shall first speak of tho left column. Besides
tho great road from Capua, alongeldo the river,
there is a by-road, which, leaving the main road a
little distance from the town, strikes across the
country, and goes straight towards the village of
St. Angelo, whioh lies on tho retreating elopes of
the heights. This was chosen by the Neapolitans
as the centre of their operations against this point,
while they sent one column by the main road
towards the right, and another to the right across
country to take the village in the other flank.
The byroad which runs direct from Capita to St.
Angelo intersects the road from Santa Maria to
the river just where the road turns up to St. An
gelo. In order to guard this position a barricade
was constructed a little beyond this point, and
armed with four guns. The country near the river
is so low that, every morning, the exhalations of
the ground cover it with a white mist, which makes '
it very difficult to see, even at a little distance
Besides this, the torrents which some down from
the hills have artificial beds of fifteen to twenty
feet in depth, very steep and covered with brush
wood, which are dry now, and servo as roads. The
. .,N.leapolitans, advancing by those, and taking ad
vantage of the mist, approached quite close to the
barrioado, and oarried it at the first onset, driving
our men across the main road towards St. Angelo.
Having taken this position, they came out and
formed in an open field which lies along the road
in regular order of battle. Their left had been
equally successful, driving ours from the trench
near the river, and forcing them back on the
heights of St. Angelo. The column to the right
again had not only passed the road, but had gone
up a little hill commanding St. Angelo.
It was at this critical moment that Garibaldi
arrived. Ito had taken up with his staff carriages
at Santa Maria, and was coming on in the main
road towards St. Angelo. The balls and grape
wore flying about, but the carriages still proceeded.
When they arrived in the neighborhood of St.
Angelo they were in sight of the Neapolitans, who
were drawn up there in line of battle. Fortunate
ly, olose to this spot was one of tho torrents
dammed in whioh formed a covered way. In this
the carriages turned down, except the last, which
was struck by a cannon ball and remained on the
road. Through this road Garibaldi advanced, re
volver in hand, towards St. Angelo, and just ar
rived in time to give now courage to the defenders.
The object was to drive away the column In the
rear of the hills to the left of St. Angelo ; this was
easily done by throwing some skirmishers on the
heights above those canopied by the intruders.
There ma, fortunately, some artillery in front,
which was turned togood account, but, as usual,
it was the bayonet which deeded. The Neapoli-
tans tried to penetrate by ,a cavalry attack, but
were beaten back, chiefly by the coolness of the
Calabrese, who behaved splendidly. After three
or four hours' fighting, whatever could be got to.
gather of available mon were carried forward, and
the Neapolitans not only driven back from their
position on the great road, but likewise the burl.
onde retaken. This was about nine o'olook.
During this time the fight had been equally hot
at Santa Maria. General Milvitz, who oom•
mended there, was obliged to confine his defense
to the immediate vicinity of the town, holding the
main road to Capita, and the space between it and
the railway. Some light earthworks which he had
thrown up lately wore of good service. But the
enemy brought up fresh and fresh troops, which
he kept in reserve is the camp before Capua. The
shells and shot flew into the houses of Santa Maria,
and the inhabitants loft in masses. Despatch after
despatch was sent to Caserta, where the reserve
was, to ask for reinforcements. Bat tho reinforce
ments wore likewise claimed on another side.
Early in the morning a column had shown itself
towards Castel Moroni, but wee easily driven
bask, and did not renew its attack. Moro serious
Was the advance against Maddaloni, where a
column of 4,000 or 5,000 men attacked Bixio. It
was a hard fight, for there were not more than
2,000 to 2,500 mon to oppose one long line where
the hills had to he kept on both sides. But the
struggle was soon decided. By noon tho news
came that the enemy bad not only bean driven
back from their position, but had likewise boon
followed up to the river A part of their forces
were out to; and throw themselves into the moun
tains between Caserta and Maddaloni.
limn there was a little breathing time, at toast
on our side, and the whole effort could be directed
against Capua. There were but two brigades re
maining in reserve, one the Milano, almost a eke
loton of not 1,000, and the other the Eber, equally
weakened by detachments sent in different direo•
Bons. The first was sent on by rail; the second
went by the road, and bath arrived almost at the
came time, about IP. M. And it was time. The
Neapolitan bullets end balls were coming freely
into Santa Maria, while Garibaldi eent orders to
lot any disposable troops advanoe as quiokly as pos.
siblo towards St. Angelo. The &tame of Santa
Marla woo quite confined to the outskirts of the
town, where the Plodmonteso artillerymen were
behaving beautifully. The first thing was to op
pose this, and a battalion of Bersaglieri, and one
of the regiments of the Brigade Ebor, were sent to
advance, while the Brigade Milano was sent by
the Porta St. Angelo to take the enemy on the loft
flank. But before this occurred the newly-formed
Iluogurian Bursars had been sent out by the Ports
Capita to drive bank the enemy's cavalry, which
ranged elm to the gate. Although not more than
sixty horsemen, they charged and drove back the

two squadrons, cutting them down and taking a
number of prisoners.
The infantry soon followed, and Gen. Turr took
the command of that side. ' Although mostly fresh
troops ' with the exception of the cadres, composed
of the Caociatori of the first expedition, they went
on like old soldiers. The enemy, who had evi
dently all day long the idea ofintimidating our
tbops with his cavalry, charged, but the Ploottl,
guided by the soldiers of Galati - dad, formed groups,
and not only stood firing, but bayonetted the horse-
Men. After this; it was almost nothing but ad-
Vance with tho bayonet until, the convent of ' the'
' lisplashing and the cemetery, the two chief post
ons of the Neapolitans, wore permanently taken.

the Dictator towards St. Angelo, Scarcely out of

'Garibaldi returned towards Santa:Maria Etna,
biought on the - rest of tho Brigade Eber to com
plete the success which had been gained. gearcely
half a mile from Santa Maria an open space lies on
the left of tho road, through which a detached bar
rack is visible. Bare the Neapolitans bad placed
copse guns, while their infantry lined the woods.
As soon as they saw the column they opened fire.
Garibaldi, not heeding, still advanced, until he
came to the first body. Here he gave orders to the
Hungarian Legion and the Swiss company to
advance and. drivo them away. The two
threw themselves into the woods, and, soamely using
their firearms, advanced with the bayonet, driving
tile Neapolitan:before them like sheep. A cavalry
charge of several squadrons followed and did a
good deal of harm to the little - body of brave fel
loin, but did not hinder them from following up,

THE SECOND ENGAGEMENT.
The special correspondent of the Times writes,
under date of the 21 and 4th inst., a second letter
from Santa Maria. From this letter we make the
following extracts :
As is often the .ease with victories, the most
tangible fruits of that of yesterday wore reaped
the day after. The Dietatoz who had displayed,
the whole day of the battle,n almost superhu.
man nativity and energy, ha retired for a few
hours of root in the mod•zet little chamber of the
parish priest of .St. Angelo, when, about 10 P. M ,
a ;telegraphic despatch arrived from Caserta in
fohning him that a Neapolitan force had made its
Brim:ler:moo on the monntaiustn the north of Ca
aorta, and that a body of them had' even occupied
Monte Briano and above the cascade of the Park,
whioh:ie not a mile from the palace.
The Neapolitans who were in possession of the
heights sent dc;wri is couple of battalions next morn
ing. Though ihoir appears:moon the evening. be
fore had camel alarm, they succeeded in coming
down without being perceived, and actually got
possession of the first houses and of the barracks
situate on the northeasterly flank of Caserta.
The sentinel at the berraillis was the first to
give the alarm. Wen. Sirtori collected whatever
fates ho had in band, among them two companies
of Piellmontese Bersaglieri, and two companies Of
the line, which had comedown by rail from Naples
a ;short time before. The 'resistance was not 'very
energetic, owing, probably, to the cironmstance that
a part of the Neapolitan soldiery was already more
blisy plundering than fighting. They were soon
.. , e.zred...b.oolc and a number of them taken priso
ners ; or
the_direction of
Maddaloni, where lain camenup..
and made likewise a number of prisoners. While
this was going on Saulis hod drawn nearer
with his brigade, and Garibaldi had come up to the
heights. The Piedmonteso as well as acme other
troops were sent up to waist, and then the rase be
gan, with the Piedmontese Bersaglieri in front.
The Neapolitans tried to make a stand In front of
Caserta Vecchia, but wore soon made to yield,
leaving 400 or 500 prisoners in our hands. This
done, the whole assumed altogether the (teamster
of a oboes. Two entire bat - tenons, out off towards
the lett and pressed back, fell into the hands of
Colonel Viocklor, c f the Brigade Saulis, and were
made prisoners almost to a man. It was quite lu
dicrous to see the numbers of prisoners, many of
whom still had their arms, escorted by a few men
as prisoners to the Palace of Caserta. in the court
yard a which, before evening, 2,500 met., with
two colonels, and several other superior officers,
had found accommodation. The' rest were dis
persed in all directions, so that of the column of
5,000 very few will probably return to the right
bank of the Volturno.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT or THE !ITTLE.
Tho Coremire Mercantile, of Genoa, 0120 pub
idles tho following account of the battle of - Vol
MILO :
Wo have teoeived direct from Quarto, under
the date of the 2d of October, the following details
of. the above battle :
Yesterday, at dawn, the Royalists, under the
orders of Francis 11, in person, left Captain three
columns : the ono attacked Santa Maria, the other
at. Angelo, and the third cut the communication
between they) two points.
Tho advanced posts of Santa Maria consisting
of Sicilians, were carried, and the Sicilians driven
back. The Royalists then made a furious attack
on Banta Maria, and penetrated into the first
houses; to dislodge them it required eight charges
with the bayonet. St. Angelo, heroically defended
by the First brigade of Medici's division, resisted
all the attacks of the Royalists ' though their efforts
were concentrated against that position.
The First brigade suffered cruelly, and three of
the staff officers are /tors dtc combat; one is killed,
the other two severely wounded. Tho Royalists
simultaneously crossed the river at Cajazzo, and
attacked our extreme left at Lueiatala and Castel
Borrono, where stood Bixio and Medial's Third
brigade.
Tho Royalists, twenty thousand strong, having
driven book our men along the whole line, com
menced to attack our positions, bat at this mo
ment our reserves came up. lVe had now 12,000
men in the battle. At about two P. IC we re
sumed the offensive ; at six o'clock the Royalists,
broken on every side, were driven towards Vol
turno, or in hasty retreat on Capua.
The Ring commanded in parson, dressed in plain
clothes. Ile was continually seen wider fire. Ga
ribaldi, as usual, was oreeywhere, especially where
the danger was greatest.
We havel,2oo men hers du combat. The loss of
the Royalists is about 3,000.
The battle lasted from half past three in the
morning till seven in tho evening. It Is evident
that this formidable attack was the last effort of
Francis 11, who, had be been victorious, would
have marched on the capital.
WHAT AN EYE•WITNE99 THOUGHT OF THE RAMA.
A correspondent of the Journal des Deities
Bays: I went through the whole campaign in
Lombardy, I was present at Magenta and Salta
lino, and yesterday I fancied I was there again.
Three times were the positips of the Garibaldiana
taken and retaken at the point of the bayonet.
Tho grape swept men down unmercifully. No
quarter wee asked or given. With mine own eyes
saw noun led men bayonetted and the stiletto
And pistol used in a Sght which commenced with
the rifle. Except the Stoiliane and the Neapoli
tans of the oily of Naples, every man did hie
duty with enthuslasna. A strange and atrocious
circumstance, if wo consider the character of the
Italians, they fought without uttering a about, al
most in glom. It was a lovely day, the sun
shining in all its glory and the ground adorned
with rich produce.
scrAr.s AND INCIDENTS OF THE RATTLE-GARIBALDI
NARROWLY ESCAPES FRO)[ DEATH
The Neapolitan commander had oombined a
general attack. Ifis plan was well devised and
calculated to succeed ; ft was to break the line of
the Garlbaldians, which extended from Santa
Maria to Sant' Angelo, and at the same time to
turn Sant' Angelo and Santa Maria, and so sur
round the patrlots. If the plan had succeeded all
Garibaldi's army would have been lost. happily,
however, it failed, owing to the shill of our general
and the almost incredible bravery of the troops.
The movements of the royalists, which commenced
during the night, were made with such remarkable
prudence that, when the patriots awoke, at four in
the morning, they found the lino from Sant' Angelo
to Santa Alexia cut. A combat then commenced,
and lasted till the afternoon. In the morning the
royalists wero successful, and even succeeded in
occupying tho heights commanding Sant' Angelo.
which place then became, as a position, greatly
compromised. The fire was terrible everywhere ;
the royalists took two cannons from the Italians,
and their squadrons demanded towards Meade
loni as far as the bridge of La ells. More
than 30,000 Neapolitans, all picked troops, had
V
loft Capita, and fought resolutely. At about mid
day the patriots wore driven beak everywhere
and considered the battle as lost. Garibaldi alone,
who commanded in person, was of a contrary
opinion, end, under a terrible fire from the enemy,
he wrote a despatch announcing full success. Re
than declared to his soldiers,. who thought them
selves vanquished, that they were victors, and
they, believing him, attacked the royalists with
such impetuosity that at three o'clock in the af
ternoon the latter gave way, and were pursued at
the point of the bayonet right into Capue. Mere
boys rushed on men and killed them. There was
an appalling massacre—the patriots being ems.

COURT CAYOUR. TO THE SICILIAN rianctrorimzu-
HY-A BODY OV PIEDMONTESE TO BE SEXY INTO
The following is a note addressed by Count Ca
tour to Baron Winspoaro,•envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of his Sicilian Ma
jesty :
"Most illustrious Baron—The events which
have taken place in Naples daring these last
months had already determined the King's Go
vernment to send to that port some men•of•war
having troops on board, with a view to provide for
the security of Sardinian subjects. After that time
the state of affairs in that city became more and
more alarming. The King, Prandial', abandon
ed his capital, and tistia de facia abdicated his
crown in the presence of his people. The civil
war which rages in the Neapolitan territory, and
the absence of a regular Government, place in ek
tremo danger those great principles on which so
cial order rests.
" In this emergency the citizens and the consti
tuted authorities of the muniolpalities of Naples
forwarded or presented to his Majesty King Victor
Emmanuel addresses bearing numberless signa
tures, imploring the aid of that sovereign whom
Providence trusted with the mission of reconstitn
ting and pacifying Italy.
" Mindful of the duties imposed upon him by
that mission, his Majesty the King, my august
sovereign, ordered a body of troops to be sent to
Naples. This measure, which puts an end to a
state of things from which disorder and anarchy
may spring, will preserve Italy and Europa from
very serious injury, and spare the further effusion
of Italian blood.
4 . While fulfilling the duty of acquainting your
Excellency with this measure, I take the opportu
nity, So., C. (SAVOUR."
IMPORTANT ETIP.CR FROM COUNT CAVOnR—ROME
TO BE THE CAPITAL OP ITALY—A MENACE TO
AUSTRIA-ANNEXATION VOTED 131" SARDINIA.
Ihe dismission on tho project of law on the an
nexations was continued in the Sardinian Chamber
on the 12th inst.
Count Cavour acknowledged that the disonsalon
of that lair had brought the different parties lat.) a
closer union.
Count Cutout said :
There is a great difference between the past
annexations and those now under consideration. Im
mediately atter the conolnsion of the treaty of Villa
franca the annexations could not be precipitated. A
Congress was also spoken of, at which we were to
take part. As regards the annexation of Southern
Italy, the same danger no longer exists. Your
vote is demanded in order that you may give to
the inhabitants of those provinces a proof that the
steps taken by the Government have met with
your approval. As regards the disunion which
has arisen between the Government and Garibaldi,
the fault bee not been ours. Public opinion leaves
no doubt on this point. The Ministry, therefore,
decided on presenting themselves before the Par
liament, in order that it might judge their
policy. This is the greatest homage that can be
paid to any man. The Crown, after mature
consideration, refused to accept the offer
made by us to tender our resignation, being of
opinion that Government Would thereby be too
mush weakened at home and abroad. It
only remained to us, therefore, to address
ourselves to you, not that you might judge Ga
ribaldi,
who la not subject to your examina
tion, but ourselves, over whom you have power.
Should you support us, we shall go , to meet Gari
baldi, and present to him the order of the day
proposed by your committee, which you will ap.
prove, and which we accept with all our hearts.
Wo shall offer him oar band, and invite him to
union in the name of the Italian Parliament.
The cession of Italian territory as an indemnity
has Mill been spoken of. To this report I give a
formal denial, and add that, when the annexation
shall have boon accomplished, any cession of ter
ritory will become impossible. Nobody will be
able to ask such a cession from a country with a
Population of 24,000,000.
An attack against Rome and Venice has also
been spoken of. We desire that the Eternal City
should heroine the capital of Italy; but as re
gards the means to that end, we should be able to
say in what condition we shall be six months
hence.
The revolution in Rome will be accomplished by
the conviction that liberty is favorable to religion.
Respecting Venetia Europe does not wish that
we should make war upon Auetria. We must take
into consideration the opinion of the great Powers.
Wo must bring about a change in this opinion.
Let us show ourselves united, and that opinion
will change. It is untrue that the Venetians are
peacefully supporting their destiny.
Austria has flattered them in vain. Public
opinion will change, not only in France and Eng
land, but in Germany also, which is becoming
Wien], and will be in our favor.
Count Omar concluded by making an appeal
for concord.
