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 clown the telegraph wire and connected my pocket instrument, for the purpose of taking off all dispatches as they parsed 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. " 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; and I answered 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 IVlur fresboro,* 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, and 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. JOHNSON, Lieut.-Colonel 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 has me the segars you cannot spell the name of your station correctly. "To B—Take the bet. L-e-b-a-n•o-n J-u•n-c-t-i-o-n. Is this not right? How did you think I would spell it? "To Z—He gives it up. He thought you would put two b's to Lebanon. " B." "To B—Ha I ha I ha I He is a green one " Z. O "To B—Yes; that's so "B." "To Z—What time did tbo train with soldiers pass, Z ? " B." " Z." " To B-8.30 last night. "To Z—Very singular where the train is " B." "To B—Yes, it is. Let me know when it arrives. "Z.l, 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. 64 TO GENERAL d. 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 0 wen 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 awaiting orders. " 0. F. MOORE, C ommanding. " Lebanon Junction being the repeatin g s t a ti on for Louis ville business, he forwarded the following telegrams just from Louisville—nice o'clock a.m.:— " Louisville, July 12, 1862. gg TO COLONEL JOHNSON, LF,BANON. " 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 OffiCG ; 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 :—..

On commencing operations at this place I discovered that there were two wire s on the line along this railroad, One Wire, ,, r was what we term a " through unhing direct from Lexington to Frankfor t, and not entering offices. I found that a ll military messa g e s of the way were sent over that wire. As it did n ot enter Midwa y office I ordered it to be cut, thus forcing Lexington on to the wire that did run through the office. 1 I tested the line, and found that by applying my ground wire it made no difference and thewl" circuit ; as Lexing- [The taking of Murfreesboro by Forrest wi4 - 8 - 0 - 1 7 ---: " " lee days afterwards—or the 16t12,—Eps, CopirED.)

I an swered, and received about a dozen unimportant despatches. Ile had no sooner finished when Lexington called Frank fort. Again I answered, and received the following mes sage : "Lexington, July 15, 18G2. " TO GEN. FINNELL, FRANKFORT. "I wish you to move the forces at Frankfort on the line of the Lexington Railroad immediately, and have the cars follow and tako them up as soon as possible. Further orders will await them at Midway. I will, in three or four hours, move forward on the Georgetown pike; will have most of my men mounted. Morgan left Versailles this morning, at 8 o'clock, with 850 men on the Midway road, 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. " WooLums, Operator." In about ten minutes Lexington again balled Frankfort, when I received the following : " Lexington, July 15, 1862. " TO GEN. FINNELL, FRANKFORT. " Morgan, with more than 1,00 0 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 hadreceived 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 to 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 he had Lexington last. He said, "Nine o'clock, and since that time the line had been down." I remarked that it Faust 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 "0. 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 are here, camped in Dr. Gang'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. Ho said, ' D—n the luck,' and went out. nEontitauwN.” " To Georgetown,—Bo on hand, and keep us posted. " LEXINGTON." "To Lexington.—l will do so. Tell General Ward I'll stay up all night if ho 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 acc9mpany me to Dixie, as I understood he was in the employ of the United States 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 either Covington or Lexington, nor were the wires in work ing order when I left the office next day. At Paris the operator had made a clean sweep. lie left the night before, taking all his instruments. At Crab Orchard there was no office, and I had to put in My pocket magnet, which I did at eleven a.m. The first message I received was the following : ..

H e i s at Crab J Orcharduly:lg, 0 1:6: . to sooner had the 'Danville opera ' iL tor re v ceip LE ted • for * this " BOYLE " Somerset. than the operator at Lebanon suggested the following : "To Lebanon Junction—Would it not be well for Dan-. vine 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 some 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 any o ffi ce wor ki ng finely.

Seeing there was no use of my losing 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 Junction urg e d me to sit up, but I declined, on the ground of being unwell. Thi s did n ot satisfy him, but after arguing with him for some time, I retired.

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 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 Col 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 Freo 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, he has little temptation to steal." The paper on " The Post-office" will be found readable, that on " Our Manufacturing 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 gressing. Colburn's United Service Magazine. " 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 Bevue des Deux Mondes, merits attention, and " Greenwich Characters" and " Lobscouse" will be found readable. Macmillan's Magazine.

In " Women in Italy in 1862," by Francis Power C3bbe, 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 soma disaster, and, on her urgent entreaties, they at last broke to her the terrible information that she was the mother of a very fino little girl !"

A letter from Turin, dated September 6, says : 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 Garibaldi, 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 Aspromonte on the 28th in the evening. He had on the previous_ day felt his way here and there, and reconnoitr ed the grounds towards Gerace, St. Eufemia, Bawl s : i ; and Palmi ; but the first skirmishes w i g to Royal troops soon convinced him that deal with earnest adversari e s, and he P belied his - it : looked camp on the brow of the hill.

Trehe Was were heavy showers from t ime 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 wf=s 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 I volunteers. Garibaldi crossed a small stream that " Advanced to the attack ; they were received with rifle shots; the fight began; a column of the royal troops turned the left flankof the Garibaldians, and threatened them also in the rear. The volun teers ware routed. Pallavicino waved a white handkerchief, the firing ceased, and a parlementaire presented himself to Garibaldi. This latter was wonoded ; seeing the parlementaire, he snatched up a revolver to shoot him ; his own officers, who were by his side, had to tear the weapon from his hand. 11i-3 cooled alittle, and asked on *hat Con ditions they were to treat. On no conditions,' was the answer; passive surrender, and no terms.' If it be so,' Garibaldi replied, let us recommence the fire,' but this was impossible. All his camp was in utter disorder, enveloped all round by the Royalists, he had to bow his head, and yield to fortune. The struggle had lasted an hour, or little more. There were about 12 killed between 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 to fire. We were being surrounded on all side s ; thF Boiaglieri 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 r 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. He 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 lOr 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 of an hour elapsed. Here a strange sight presented itself. Friends, relatives, brothers, companions in reccnt, 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 shaking of hands, embraces, mutual reproach and upbraidings, especially on the part of the Redahirts, 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 Gari baldi, who bade him put off his sword, as a parle mentaire should be unarmed. Other Bersaglieri t o h lfi e c officers e n w e r e a r l e ds soon s o a n r m a e f d t e r i n w t a h r d e s s a o m r e d e m r e a d n n t e h r t t h ou theirgh 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 don e 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 Yto have with Scylla, between the officers of both staffs that the G aribal. dian column should be disarmed an d plae,edwiutnhdears the escort of the Royal troops.

Th e j ourney in the dark on so I :u i gh 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 hero es o f th e expe di t i on o f 18G0. There, with straw and cloaks, they made up a bed, on which the General rested. " 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 hi m broth made of goat's flesh. It was mid-. night. At dawn they were up constructing a more comfortable litter; at ti 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 thoso 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 on board an En^ 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 Duca dL 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 had been allowed by Pallavicino for Garibaldi's personal ser vice, were sent back by an order of Cialdini, con veyed through Albini, but the order wes revoked, and the orderlies were suffered to accompany their chief. Garibaldi parted with his companions with the cry, "A Roma ! A Itoma !" The treatment of the prisoners on board the Duca di Genova was, by their own confession, most courteous and conside rate."
