INTERCEPTED DISPATCHES, TAKEN BY G. A. ELLS WORTH, TELEGRAPHIC OPERATOR ATTACHED TO COLONEL MORGAN'S BAND or CONFEDERATES. (From the Augusta (Ga.) Southern Confederacy.) Knoxville, July 30. Captain R. A. Alston, A.A.G.—On the 10th of July General Morgan, with myself and a body guard of 15 men arrived at a point half a mile below Horse Cave, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, where I took down the telegraph wire and connected my pocket ins:trument, for the purpose of taking off all dispatches as they passed through. Owing to a heavy storm prevailing south the atmospheric electricity prevented me from communicating with Bowling Green or Nashville. The first I heard was Louisville calling Bowling Green. I immediately put on my ground wire southward, noticing particularly at the same time what change it would make in the circuit. It did make it stronger; but the storm mentioned affecting telegraphs more or less, Louisville did not suspicion any• thing wrong, and I answered for Bowling Green, when I received the following message : " Louisville, July 10, 1862. 44 TO S. D. BROWN, BOWLING GREEN. "You and Colonel Houghton move together. I fear the force of Colonel H. is too small to venture to Glasgow. The whole force should move together as the enemy are mounted. We cannot venture to leave the road too far, as they may pass round and ruin it. __ _ "J. T. BOYLE, "Brigadier-General commanding." I returned the usual signal, " 0. K.," after receiving the message. -Louisville immediately - called Nashville; 'end amalveted for Nashville, receiving business for two hours. This business was mostly of a private nature, and I took no copies. It could be plainly perceived from the tenor of the messages that Morgan was in the country, and all orders to send money or valuables by railroad were coun termanded, as they supposed. Little did the operator at Louisville think all his work would have to be repeated the next day. Louisville also sent the news of the day, and thus we were furnished with New York and Washing ton dates of that day. During the whole of this time it was raining heavily, and my situation was anything but an agreeable one—sitting in the mud with my feet in the water up to my knees. At 11 o'clock p.m., the general being satisfied that we had drained Louisville of news, concluded to close for the night, and gave me the following message, dating and signing : _ _ " Nashville, July 10, 1862. " TO HENRY DENT, PROVOST MARSHAL OF LOUISVILLE. "General Forrest, commanding a brigade, attacked Mur fresboro,k routing our forces, and is now moving on Nash ville. Morgan is reported to be between Scottsville and Gallatin, and will act in concert with Forrest, it is believed. " Inform the general commanding. "STANLEY MATTHEWS, Provost Marshal." I am not aware that General Morgan claims to be a pro phet, or the son of a prophet; but Forrest did attack Mur fresboro, an rout the enemy. On arriving at Lebanon, July 12, I accompanied the ad vance guard into town, and took possession of the tele graph office immediately. This, as you know, was at half past 3 a.m. I adjusted the instrument and examined the circuit. No other operator on the line appeared to be on hand thus early. I then examined all the despatches of the day previous. Among them I found the following : " Lebanon, July 11, 1862. "General J. T. Boyle, Louisville, Ky., " I have positive information that there are 400 marau ders in the 20 miles of this place, on the old Lexington road, approaching Lebanon. Send reinforcements . imme diately. "A. Y. JoHrtsox, LieutoColonel Commanding." At half-past 7an operator signing "Z" commenced call ing "B," which I had ascertained by the books in the office was the signal for the Lebanon office. I answered the call, when the following conversation between "Z " and myself ensued : _ . To Lebanon—What news? Any more skirmishing after your last message ? " Z." To Z—No. We drove what little cavalry there was away. " B." "To B—Has the train arrived yet? " Z." " To Z—No. About how many troops on train ?" B." " To B—Five hundred Sixtieth Indiana, commanded by Colonel Owens. " Z." My curiosity being excited as to what station Z was, and to ascertain without creating any suspicion, I adopted the following plan : "To Z—A gentleman here in office bets me the scgars canno4 "-- "-- ''&-.l3—Take the bet. L-e-b-a-n•o-n Is this not right? low did you think I would spell it? "Z . » "To Z—He gives it up. He thought you would put two b's to Lebanon. " "To B—Ha I ha Iha I He is a green one " Z." "To B—Yes; that's so "B." "To Z—What time did the train with soldiers pass, Z ? " B." " To B-8.30 last night. " To Z—Very singular where the train is "Z . " "B." "To B—Yes; it is. Let me know when it arrives. cc z.,, At 8.20 Lebanon Junction called me up and said : "To B—The train has returned. They had a fight with the rebels at New Hope. The commanding officer awaits orders here. "Z." "To Z—Give us the particulars of the fight. Colonel Johnson is anxious to know all about it. " B." "To B—Here is Moore's message to General Boyle : "Lebanon Junction, July 12, 1862. "TO GENERAL J. T. BOYLE, LOUISVILLE. "At 11 o'clock last night, at New Hope station, part of my command encountered a force of rebel cavalry posted on the county road one-half mile south of the railroad. After a brisk fire of musketry for 20 minutes the enemy was routed and fled. Skirmishers were sent out in different directions, but were unable to find the enemy. At three this morning, apprehending that an effort might be made to destroy the bridges in our rear, we moved down to New Haven and remained until after daylight, when the train went back to the scene of the skirmish. A Mr. Foreman, of Owen County, was found mortally wounded. He reported the rebel force at 550, under command of Captain Jack Allen, and that they had fallen back towards Greensburg. One horse was killed and three captured. The books of the company were found in the field. Blood was found at different places, showing that the enemy was severely punished. No casualties on our side. Here with a train o a . r wa . i m tin o g o o ß r u dei's. Commanding.", Lebanon Junction being the repeating station for Louis• ville business, he forwarded the following telegrams just from Louisville—nine o'clock a.m. : " Louisville, July 12, 1862. " TO COLONEL JOHNSON, LEBANON. " Leave good guard and join Colonel Owens. Pursue the enemy and drive him out. Be cautious and vigorous. Make no delay. " J. T. BOYLE, Brigadier General Commanding." By the following it will appear that Colonel Owens must have been en route for Lebanon : " Louisville, July 2, 1862. TO COLONEL OWENS, LEBANON. " You will move after the enemy and pursue him. " J. T. BOYLE, Brigadier General Commanding." Up to the time of our leaving Lebanon, which was about noon, Col. Owens had not arrived. Gen. Morgan told me I could close my office; and to allay for that evening all suspicion at Lebanon Junction at not being able to com municate with Lebanon, I despatched the operator as fol lows : " To Z.—Have been up all night and am very sleepy, If you have no objections I will take a alp until two or three o'clock. " B." ton was head-quarters, I cut Frankfort off. Midway was called. I answered and received the followilg " Lexington, Jily 15, 1862. " TO J. W. WOOLITAIS, OPERATOR, MDWAY. "Will there be any danger in coming tf Midway ? Is everything right? " TAYLon,Conductor." I inquired of my prisoner (the operator' if he knew a man of the name of Taylor. Ho said that'!aylor was con ductor. I immediately gave Taylor th following re ply "Midway, :Illy 15, 1862. "TO TAYLOR, LEXINGTON "All right; come on. No signs of any .ebels here. WOOLUMS," The operator in Cincinnati then called Fankfort. I an swered, and received about a dozen uniinpoi,ant despatches. He had no sooner finished when Lexingta called Frank fort. Again I answered, and received tht following mes sage : " Lexington, ;nly 15, 1862. ti TO GEN. FINNELL, FRANKFSRT. " I wish you to move the forces at Fran:fort on the line of the Lexington Railroad immediately, aid have the cars follow and take them up as soon as possible Further orders will await them at Midway. I will, in time or four hours, move forward on the Georgetown pike; \sill have most of my men mounted. Morgan left Versaillo this morning, at 8 o'clock, with 850 men on the Midway ro ad, moving in the direction of Georgetown. " Brigadier General WARD." This being our position and intention exactly, it was thought proper to throw Gen. Ward on some other track. So in the course of half an hour I manufactured and sent the following dispatch, which was approved by General Morgan:— " Midway, July 15, 1862. " TO BRIGADIER GEN. WARD, LEXINGTON. "Morgan, with upwards of 1,000 men, came within a mile of here, and took the old Frankfort road, bound, as we suppose, for Frankfort. This is reliable. .7 4 Viriibitnts, Operator." In about ten minutes Lexington again called Frankfort, when I received the following : Lexington, July 15, 1862. " TO GEN. FINNELL, FRANKFORT. " Morgan, with more than 1,000 men, came within a mile of here, and took the old Frankfort road. "This dispatch received from Midway, and is reliable. The regiment from Frankfort had better be recalled. " General WARD." I receipted for this message, and again manufactured a message to confirm the information Gen. Ward had received from Midway, and not knowing the tariff from Frankfort to Lexington, I could not send a formal message, so, appear ing greatly agitated, I waited until the circuit was occupied, and broke in. telling them to wait a minute, and commenced calling Lexington. He answered with as much gusto as I called him. I telegraphed as follows : " FRANKFORT TO LEXINGTON—TeII General Ward our pickets are just driven in. Great excitement. Pickets say the force of the enemy must be 2,000. " OPERATOR." It was now two o'clock p.m., and General Morgan wished :o be off for Georgetown. I run a secret 'ground connec tion, and opened the circuit on the Lexington end. This was to leave the impression that the Frankfort operator was skedaddling, or that Morgan's men had destroyed the telegraph. We arrived at Georgetown at about the setting of the sun.' I went to the telegraph office, found it locked, and in quired for the operator, who was pointed out to me on the street. I hailed him, and demanded admission into his office. He very courteously showed me in. Discovering that his instruments had been removed, I asked where they were. He said he had sent them to Lexington. I asked him what time ho had Lexington last. He said,- "Nine o'clock, and since that time the line had been down." I remarked that it must be an extraordinary line to be in working condition when it was down, as I heard him send ing messages to Lexington when I was at Midway at one o'clock. This was a stunner; he had nothing to say. I immediately tested the line by applying the ends of the wires to my tongue, and found the line "O. K." I said nothing to him but called for a guard of two men to take care of Mr. Smith until I got ready to leave town. I did not interrupt the lines till after tea, when I put in my own instruments, and after listening an hour or two to the Yankees talking, I opened the conversation as follows, signing myself "Federal Operator : "To Lexington.—Keep mum. lam in the office, read ing by the sound of my magnet, in the dark. I crawled in when no one saw me. Morgan's men arc here, camped in Dr. Gano's place. "GEORGETOWN." "To Georgetown.—Keep cool ; don't be discovered. About how many rebels are there ? " LEXINGTON." "To Lexington.—l don't know ; I didn't notice. As Morgan's operator was asking me about my instruments I told him I sent them to Lexington. He said, D—n the luck,' and went out. " GEORGETOWN." " "To Lexington.—l will do so. Tell General Ward I'll stay up all night if he wishes. " GEORGETOWN." " To Georgetown.—Mr. Fuller wishes to know if the re bels are there. " CINCINNATI." " To Cincinnati.—Yes, Morgan's men are here. " GEORGETOWN." " To Georgetown.—How can you be in the office and not be arrested ? . " CINCINNATI." " To Cincinnati.—Oh, I am in the dark, and am reading by the sound of the magnet. " GEORGETOWN." This settled Cincinnati. Question after question was asked me about the rebels, and I answered to suit myself. Things had been going on in this way about two hours, when Lexington asked me where my assistant was. I re plied, " Don't know." He then asked me, "Have you seen him to-day ?" I replied, " No." This was the last telegraphing I could do in Georgetown. I then called on Mr. Smith, the operator, who was under guard in my room, and informed him that I would furnish him with a mule in the morning, and should be pleased to have him accompany me to Dixie, as I understood he was in the employ of the United SLates Government. This was anything but agreeable to him. I thought I had struck the young man in the right place, and remarked that, had he not sent his instruments to Lexington, I should have taken then in preference to his person. His face brightened, and an idea struck him very forcibly, from which he made a proposition. It was to furnish me the instruments if I would release him. This I agreed to, as such, his instruments, were of much more value to the Confederacy than Yankee telegraphers. I accompanied him to the servant's room. and there, under the bed, in a chest, we found the instruments. Mr. Smith having given me his word on honour that he would not leave town for the next 24 hours, he was set at liberty to visit his wife and the young Smiths. On arriving at Cynthiana, I found that the operator had skedaddled. I tested the wires and found no fluid from clean Paris magnet,didel e ,e n an. either Covington or Lexin g t on , nor were the wires i n work ing order when I left the offi ce nex t d ay. At the which had I made at a e l even sweep. a Th H e e fi l r e s f t t the night before, taking all hi s i nstrumen t s . At Crab Orchard there wa s no office, and I had to put in m y p ocke t message I received was the following:— " Louisville, July 21, 1862. "TO COLONEL WOOLPORD, DANVILLE. "Pursue Morgan. He is at Crab Orchard, going to Somerset. " BOYLE." No sooner had the 'Danville operator receipted for this than the operator at Lebanon suggested the following : "To Lebanon Junction—Would it not be well for Dan ville and offices below here to put on their ground wires when they send or receive important messages, as George Ellsworth, the rebel operator, may be on the line between here and Cumberland Gap? "LEBANON." The operator at the junction agreed with him, and said it would be a good idea, but it was not carried into effect. We arrived at Somerset that evening. I took charge of the office. I ascertained from citizens that it had been closed three weeks, up to the very hour that our advance guard arrived in town. It was just opened by the operator from London, who came to work the instruments for the purpose of catching Morgan ; but, unfortunately for Uncle Sam, the operator, ',and all concerned, he had no time to either send or receive a message ; but he had it in fine working condition for me. I had been in the office for somo time when Stanford called Somerset and said : "I have just returned from Crab Orchard, where I have been to fix the line. The rebels tore it down. I left there at eight o'clock. The 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry had not then arrived. What time did you get in from London? " STANFORD." "To Stanford—Just arrived and got my office working finely. " SOMERSET." " To Somerset—Any signs of Morgan yet ; he left Crab Orchard at 11.30 to day. "STANFORD." "To Stanford—No signs of him as yet. " SOMERSET." " To Somerset—For fear they may take you by surprise, I would suggest we have a private signal. What say you ? " STANFORD!' _ _ we will make "To Stanford — Go od. Before signing, the figure 7. " SOMERSET," This was mutually agreed upon. I asked when Woolford would be at Somerset. He said Woolford had telegraphed Boyle that his force was peen and insufficient to attack Morgan. Seeing there was no use of my losi ng a night ' s rest, I told Stanford I would retire, that I had made arrangements with the pickets to wake me up in case Morgan came in. The operator at Lebanon Junctiion urged me to sit up, but I declined, on the groun d of bein g unwell. This did not satisfy him, but after arguing with him for some time, I retired. July 22—Opened the office at 7 4,m, . informed the Stan ford operator that Morgan had not yet arrived; made in quiries about different things ; and, after everything in the town belonging to the United States was destroyed, the general gave me a few messages to send—one to Prentice, one to General Boyle, and one to Dunlap. They are hereto annexed. I then telegraphed home, informing my relatives of my whereabouts, what I was doing, &c. I then transmitted the general's despatches as follows : " Somerset, July 22, 1862. - , 44 GEORGE D. PRENTICE, LOUISVILLE. " Good morning, George D. lam quietly watching the complete destruction of all of Uncle Sam's property in this little burgh.

Another instalment of Mr. Ruskin's "Political Economy" appears this month, and we find in a note the following assertion :—" Few passages of the book, which, at least, some part of the nations at present most advanced in civilisation accept as an expression of final truth, have been more dis- 1 torted than those bearing on idolatry. For the idolatry there denounced is neither sculpture nor veneration of sculpture. It is simply the substitu tion of an Eidolon,' phantasm, or imagination of good, for that which is real and enduring ; from the Highest Living Good, which gives life, to the lowest material good which ministers to it." We are to suppose, then, that the commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth :" is either a mis translation or is spurious ; or has Mr. Ruskin received a later revelation as to Scripture truth ? " North and South—the Controversy in a Co 1- loquy " gives each aspect of the American difficulty. Far instance, "The North is sadly embarrassed with its troublesome element of Free-Negroism. The number of free negroes in the North has in creased in the last seventy years from 60,000 to 500,000; and they are everywhere regarded as a nuisance, degrading white labour, and largely con tributing to the number of convicts and paupers. Many of the Free States have taken steps to get rid of them. In the Slave States the negro is never a pauper, and rarely a criminal. Being always pro vided for, ho has little temptation to steal." The paper on "The Post-office" will be found readable, that on " Our Manufucturing Districts and Ope rative Classes" possesses present interest. There is a biographical sketch of Henry Thomas Buckle, and an essay on Corneille and Dryden, whilst the tales, "A First Friendship" and " Adrian," are pro- Colburn's United Service 111a9azine. " Continental Armies and Foreign Politics" is the title of the opening article this month ; the Land wehr system of Prussia forming the special topic of discussion. The writer of " Macaulay on Marl borough" defends the great general from the ex pressions of the great historian, and thus winds up: —" Macaulay will be read, quoted, and honoured, nevertheless, long after his aspersions of great men and misstatements of public events have been buried in oblivion. He will take his place as a narrator by the side of Livy and Virgil, as an his toriographer between Shakespear and Scott. When he ceases to be regarded as a sound historian he will be the more loved as a delightful author, and the memory of his mistakes will perish when they have lost the power to mislead." Strange to say, under the head " The Siege of Li moges by the Black Prince," written by M. Des courtieux, a Limosin, we find a justification of the plundering and burning of that city by the Eng lish. The article called " The English and French Navies," which embodies the principal points of two articles relative to the navies of France and England, written by M. Xavier Raymond for the Revue des Deux Mendes, merits attention, and i‘ Greenwich Characters" and " Lobscouse" will be found readable. Macmillan's Magazine. What can Professor Kingsley be thinking about in these days of social science and spirit rapping ? He is positively trying to make us believe that Ovid's Metamorphoses were possible. Having drowned the little sweep he transforms him into a water-newt, and gravely tries to persuade his juve nile readers that such is the course of nature. We are shocked at the estimate •he must have formed of the intelligence of precocious young England in this nineteenth century. Why, we shall next find him defending such departures from veracity as the his tory of Jack the Giant Killer, or that still more in credible legend of him of the bean stalk. In " Women in Italy in 1862," by Francis Power Cobbe, we find that the fair sex are at a discount in some parts of that country. The writer says,— " An- English lady, long resident at Naples, and married to a Neapolitan, informed me that, till quite of late years, it was customary among the poorer classes to hang a small black flag out of the windows of the apartment wherein a girl was born, to save the painful necessity of informing inquirers of the unfortunate sex of the infant. She, herself, after having given birth to her third child, the two eldest being boys, was much alarmed at finding both her doctor and nurse remaining silent. Naturally she feared some disaster, and, on her urgent entreaties, they at last broko to her the terrible information that she was the mother of a very fine little girl !"

At this place I surprised the operator, who was quietly sitting on the platform at the dedot, enjoying himself hugely. Little did he suspect that the much-dreaded Morgan was in his vicinity. I de manded of him to call Lexington and inquire the time of day, which he did. This I did for the purpose of get ting his style of handing the "key" in writing despatches. my first impressions of his style, from noticing the paper, in the instrument, were confirmed. He was, to use a telegraphic term, a " Plug" operator. I adopted his style of writing and commenced operations. In this office I found a s ignal book, which proved to be very useful.

GARIBALDI. _ _ _ _ aarcu oep7ClLuca v, bays .- The official report of the encounter at Aspro monte is not yet out ; its publication may be put off for a few days longer. Several accounts of the melancholy event are, however, in circulation, and I hope you will allow me to sum up, compare, and sift their conflicting evidence, so as to convey to your readers all the positive knowledge on the sub ject which has till now transpired. General Cialdini, upon hearing of Garibaldi's landing at Melito, in Calabria, lost no time in lay ing his plan of operations. He directed Generals Revel and Vialardi to occupy the narrow isthmus of Tiriolo, between Nicastro and Catanzaro, a strong position which, if strongly guarded, most effectually cuts off the extreme peninsula of Cala bria from the adjoining mainland. Having thus shut up Garibaldi within this comparatively small compass, Cialdini ordered the Royal cruisers—the IGaribaldi, the Vittorio Emmanuele, and Tripoli— to ply along the gulfs of Squillace and St. Eufemia, and so to watch the coasts as to prevent Garibaldi from re-embarking. Ho then collected a consider able force at Reggio, and, placing Pallavicino at their head, he bade them to look out for Garibaldi, to press upon him as closely as possible, so as to drive him towards the divisions of Revel and Vialardi, on the Isthmus, and whenever they came up with him to attack him, " anywhere and any how," unless he consented to an unconditional sur render. In less than, forty-eight hours the troops had taken their positions. Garibaldi, it seems, had landed at Melito with 2,500 to 3,000 men, but, as he compelled his men to very laborious marches over the mountains, he strew so many of them on his path that, accord ing to the report written by the officers of his Staff on board the Duca di Genova, on the 31st of August, only about 1,500 of them had kept up with him when he took up his position at Aspromo, o o u t s on the 28th in the evening. He had on the Prertred day felt his way here and there, and recorl ara, the grounds towards Gerace, St. Eufemia, and Palmi ; but the first skirmishes 1:i w ith the Royal troops soon convinced him that he had to tched his deal with earnest adversaries, and h© pi camp on the brow of the hill. Panevicinoilooked lan cing upwards, est for him along shore; but, upon g o c u ni ntain, w he beheld the red shirts on the 13 ! divided his troops and following orders, he i n state , ' ,bed. He had with into three columns, and , part of the 25th him the 6th Bersaglieri ba o f light foot part of the battalion of the same corps Eberhardt, ' a Prussian, 1860, and parts of the companion of Garibwa d angular 4th Regiment, under _oilionae eats. On the whole his force 29th and 57th itegive exceeded 1,800 men. The to orate consists of a vast tri rci t re v 7ar s the sea on the north-west, does not seem d wild wood on • the inland side, table-land , a iis men under cover of the wood, but covered wit- the main Appenine ridge. Gari baldi i b s a n d e P ad ja - c n e uarters were in a v of the two huts rising in the centre of that very small room Alpine platform. The place bears the name l do d uh i e of !:llafkorestali." The night between the 28th and 29th was cold and rainy. There were heavy showers from time to time, and violent gusts of wind, putting out the volunteer bivouac fires. In the evening and the morning scanty provisions were distributed, but the Garibaldian column was too strong to be able to support itself in the mountains, as it was too weak to fight its way through the Royal forces. Garibaldi had come to the resolution of dividing his little army into two bands, with intent to direct them through different roads to a given point ; but the Royalists had already reached Arci, they had fallen in with the Garibaldian outposts at St. Stefano, and before Garibaldi had collected all his stragglers, previous to a start, Pallavicino was upon him. It was on the 29th (a Friday, unlucky day !) Pallavicino was at St. Stefano ; two hours' march brought him to the table land, on a level with the volunteers. Garibaldi crossed a small stream , that 1 v/ - - divided the plain; he moved towards the wood--a very dense pine wood, which mantled the ground on the first undulations of the hills. As the ad vanced lines of the Bersaglieri reached the brow of the table-land, the whole of the Garibaldian yo u th had sought the shelter of the wood. It was about noon. So far there is little or no discrepancy between the various reports which I have before my eyes ; but now I beg you to listen to the two hostile parties, as they tell their story one-after another. " The troops," says the letter of a royal officer, an eye-witness, " Advanced - to the attack ; they were received with rifle shots; the fightbegari ; a column of the royal troops turned the left flank of the a2ribaldians, and threatened them also in the rear.. The 'voin.e, teers were routed. Paliavicino waved a white handkerchief, the firing ceased, and a parlerrzcntaire presented himself to Garibaldi. This latter was wounded ; seeing the parlimicidaire, he snatched were by hi s s i de , up a rc.v o i ver to shoot him; his own officers, who bad to tear the weapon frein nis hand. He cooled a little, and asked on what con ditions they were to treat. On no condition s ,' was the answer; passive surrender, and no terms,' 'lfit be so,' Garibaldi replied, let us recommence th e fire,' but this was impossible. All his camp was in utter disorder, t nveloped all round by the Royalists, he had to bow Ws head, and yield to fortune. The strugglo had lasted an h our, or little more. There were about 12 kill e d b etween the two parties . ; the wounded were about 100." Now for the report of the Garibaldian staff already alluded to : " Garibaldi was in the centre of the hill slope he occupid by his column ; he sent his officers all along the front with repeated, express, positive orders not topre. We were being surrounded on all sides ; the Bersaglieri were within shot; they had levelled their pieces ; all our column was perfectly still. Not one shout; not one shot. The General alone stood up, with his wide gray plaid cloak lined with red, thrown on his massive shoulders, following the movements of the Royalists with his spy glass, and from time to time turning to repeat the order, Do not fire.' The officers took up the cry, and Do not fire' went the round of the whole line. But the troops had, on the contrary, precise orders to at tack. The Bersaglieri opened fire and moved for ward. No intimation or summons preceded the fire, no parlementaire was sent. The firing deepens ; the bullets hissed on all sides round our heads. Unfortunately some of our raw recruits, unaccus tomed to such terrible sport, answered by a few random shots; the others did not stir. Every one kept his own ground, some standing, some seated. All the trumpets gave the signal to stop fire; all the officers verbally issued the same order. The troops, on the contrary, set up the signal Forward,' and advanced with well-sustained fire. The general, always at his post, standing, in the midst of the densest showers of balls, again cried, Do not fire !' He was uttering those words when two bullets struck him; one, a spent ball, on the thigh of the left leg ; another, with full force, on the ankle of the left foot. Garibaldi, at the moment of being wounded, not only stood up, upright, but he assumed a majestic attitude ; he took off his hat, and waving it with his left hand, he repeatedly cried, Long live Italy !Do not fire!' Some of the officers, the nearest to him, removed him and laid him under a tree. There, with his habitual calmness, he con tinued to give his orders. The most precise were the following Let them come near. Do not fire !' On all our front the fire had ceased. Presently Menotti was brought to the spot. He also had been hit by a spent ball in the calf of his left leg. Ho was in great pain, unable to stand. Father and son were laid under the same tree ; a group of officers and soldiers gathered round the General. He had lighted a cigar, and was smoking. He said to all, Do not fight !' The officers, questioned by their soldiers, also invariably answered, Do not fight.' The trumpets, too, never ceased from their signal, Stop fire!' not for our men, but for the troops which fired as they advanced, even when they had come up and were mixed with our volunteers. From the first shot to this moment hardly a quarter et an hour elapsed. 'Here a strange sight presented itself. Friends, relatives, brothers, companions in recent battles which they fought for their fatherland, meet and recognise each other. Some are clad in the red. shirt, others in the regular uniform ; and here were upbraidings, especially on the part of the Redshirts, who protest and declare that all they wanted was Rome.' " The narrative proceeds, stating that here a lieu= tenant of the Staff (Royal) appeared before Geri -0,13, officers 1 7 : 2 et i ar , si w r ewh were rh b eo a ud d li e ds a h rb i me m e u p d n u ia t nr o t et ff he ed his m s O w e o t mh r d ea r , n n a ße s re ,r a st a 2 h ) go a iu r i e / g e rh; the General soon afterwards ordered that their swords should be restord to them. Meanwhile the surgeons examined and dressed the General's wounds. He bade them apply cold water to them, and all the time he smoked with great calmness and firmness. He asked whether an amputation was necessary, in which case it should be done forthwith. The doctors assured him there was no occasion for such an operation. Garibaldi asked to see Pallavicino, who, 20 minutes later, came to him, uncovered, and with every demon. stration of respect. It was afterwards settled between the officers of both staffs t h at the Garibal dian column should be disarm ed an d placed under the escort of the Royal troops. It was agreed that Scylla, with as many Garibaldihis should effi e e rbse asremovedhe to wished to have with him, all of fw hoshould retain th e i r swords. The dead on both sides were very few; very few also the wounded. In corroboration of this assertion I the wounded, on both sides, duesst, dhiantgthetenuemffibeeiralof tidings, I 48. does not ex ceeds state that Toior ds evening the G aribaldians improvised a litter for the removal o f th e i r chief. After an hour ' s painful march over r ugge d paths they came to a hut `oberesome wounded men had been laid. Garibaldi r efused to abide there for the night. He wished to be taken to some other hut or hay-loft, where he might be alone. The journey in the dark on so rough a road must have caused great torture to the General ; but he never uttered a complaint, not a groan. They thus, after three hours' march, reached the hut of the Pastore Vincenzo, a spot well known to the heroes of the expedition of 1860. There, with straw and cloaks, they made up a bed, on which the General rested. g‘ The night was feebly lighted by the moon; great silence reigned over the country, only broken by the barking of the shepherds' dogs." They prepared water for the hero's wounds; they gave him broth made of goat's flesh. It was mid night. At dawn they were up constructing a more comfortable litter; at 6 a.m. they left for Scylla. When the sun rose they screened the hero by a laurel canopy. 'With the exception of a few halts of half-an.hour, they toiled down those dreary paths till 2 p.m., when they reached their destina tion. At Scylla, Garibaldi, who had asked Pallavicino to obtain for him leave to embark onboard en Eng lish vessel, was informed that his request could not be complied with. The number of officers who were to accompany him was also reduced to ten. Gari baldi instantly embarked on board the Duea di Genova, which was ready for departure. The boats which conveyed him on board passed before the Stella d'ltalia, on the deck of which were General Cialdini, Admiral Albini, and others. "No saluta tion passed between the prisoner and his captors." Two of three volunteers (orderlies) who bad been allowed by Pallavicino for Garibaldi's personal ser vice, were sent back by an ceder of Cialdini, con veyed through Albini, but the order was revoked, and the orderlies were suffered to accompany their chief. Garibaldi parted with. his companions witli the cry, " A Roma ! A Roma, !" The treatment of the prisoners on board the Duca di Genova was, by their own confession, most courteous and conside rate." - -- LIVERPOOL COTTON 'MARKET, Sept - 8 - - The cat ton-market has been very dull a g ain to-day, and the mks do not exceed 2,000 bales -1,000 on speculation and fo r ex port.
