GASANIOOIOLA, ISCHIA, 8111 DAT, SOW! 19.
We arrived her. about a week ago, and have been lureria-
Hog i• the delicious greenness and quiet of this little
bathing place, after the noise and heat, and dust, of
Naples. The whole of the people here have been delirious
with joy and excitement to-day, because, wonderful to
relate, Garibaldi has arrived meet unexpectedly amongst
them. The mineral waters of Ischia are very justly cele-
brated for the cure of many maladies, and are especially
effective in all gunshot wounds; for this reason the
penal has come to Casamiociola. Last night •
small steamer arrived in the harbour of Leiria,
the capital of the island, from, it was mid, Genoa.
The arrival created bat little curiosity in the minds of the
town folk, and it rested quietly in the harbour all Saturday
night. They little knew their beloved general was on board.
Man early hoar on Sunday morning a message was sent
from the steamer to Casamiociola, four miles off, to take
rooms and order refreshments for • gentleman who, with
several friends, would arrive a few hours later. The man,
usable to keep • quiet tongue, mentioned for whom these
preparations were to be made. The news spread like wild-
fire. The first intimation we had of the coming event was
I ID t►is wise :—Our landlord's brother arrived io •white heat
hom the village, and in breathless haste pasted bet "
• Garibaldi r Whew be enplaned himself the *reite-
rant in this house was intense, all work was at e complete
standstill, Makin. chembermaida, landlord and lady, all
mingling congratulations, and eves tears ! The little boy of
I our host—four yens std—appeared on the scene of action
with • little red shirt requesting his mother to wash him
and put it on, for he wanted to go and see "Garibaldi."
"Yes, Luigi shall have • new red shirt to-morrow," she
added, tenting to ors, "sod I'll send early to Naples for
the stuff, before the news gen wind, or it will have risen
to three panne, an it did before ; then I'll take my boy,
sod tell my general he shall grow into • soldier for him ! "
When the little boat neared the quay et Cnnamicciola
on Sundae at midday, above twenty donkeys were
waiting for Garibaldii use (there are no carriages
timed here, the roads are steep and very narrow), and
the people were in a state of delirium. bur in the
day twenty men claimed the honour of having guided the
General to the bath establishment in the village. I am
happy to tell you, though, the glory now rests oo the proper
donkey and the true man, and they are both ►t preseat ob-
jects of considerable interest, I may add envy, in the vil.
lege. This first visit paid by Garibaldi to lechia gives all
the people the most heartfelt delight, sad not a little hope
is felt by all that then waters (which Sr. of a very powerful
nature) will restore their beloved General to his wonted
vigour. The village in which is the bathing esta-
blishment occupied by Garibaldi, his eldest sou, and
friends, was this evening the scene of • most
interesting demonstration. I hurried dove the bill
about $ o'clock and found all the houses within sight of the
General's illuminated in the prettiest manner. That of
captain of the National Guard was blazing with little coloured
and white lamps, and not the poorest cottage was without
its little welcoming gleam. A band of music, the woods of
which playing the well known Garibaldi's Hymn I had
heard whilst descending t►e hill, ceased as I neared the
little piazza. Then there was • mighty shouting, and I
arrived jest its the General left the balcony Isom which he
had been speaking to the assembled crowd. I gathered that
be came forward and thanked the people for their kind wel-
come, for the pretty lights be saw, and for the music ; the
latter he added would be very welcome soo-
ther night, but he was much fatigued and greatly
required repose, sad bade them all good night.
This speech was the occasion for the hurrahs which rent
the air as I sobered the piazza. The whole scene was moat
stirring and picturesque, not soon to be forgotten ; the mul-
ches, and many pimentos dressed in their pretty costume
left the crowd ; they had a long tramp of fire good miles to
make over the bills to their own village. This quiet little
place will in • few day. be inundated with worshippers
from Naples sod in neighbourhood ; the whole people will
be mad to nee their hero. Garibaldi has fixed the hoar.
during which he will receive visits daily from ten to four,
and again from six until eight, at which hoar he retiree to
rest. Before closing my letter, which I could not dea-
-1 patch yesterday, I moat add that this morning,
shortly after =crime, the General took hie first misers!
bath ; he is in good health and spirits, awl as I said before,
every bops is felt that the 12.9 of then waters will be of
essential benefit. I think we had the most terrific thunder-
storm I ever heard this afternoon ; all traces are now cleared
i off, however. As I sit and write the sounds of Garibaldi's
I hymn oome up to me from the village and from the shout-
ing. of many voices. I fear the General will have but little
quiet and privacy even in this remote quarter.
