Since

_ yesterday morning we
towards the small town of Teano, _ junc-
tion of our any tali the Sardinians will Ai all
probability he orootat either to-night or to-morrow,

We left Seat Angelo at & o'clock yesterday
ing, and crossed the Volturno by the bridge which
bad been erected under the direction of the English
Colonel Donnelan, one of the ablest officers of the
Dictator's army. Eber's brigade was the first to cross
the river, then followed that of Bizio. The English
brigade and the battalion of Genoese sharpshooters
came next, and by seven o'clock the whole of this
force was defiling before Garibaldi on the other side
of the Volturno. Colonel Simonetti, who had
crossed the river on the previous day by means of
boats, bad already taken up a position on the
Gerusalemme mountain, and had placed hie out-
posts at half a mile from Capu•, to prevent any
surprise from the besieged garrison of that city.
When our small army, about 6,000 strong, was
reedy to start, Garibaldi, followed by his staff,
took the lead ; and, taking the path which skirts
the mountain called Gerosalemme, we followed
the little track which leads to San Martino, &I-
lona, Vitalocio, Partignano, and Vienne.
On arriving here we took up a position, not
far from that of the enemy, on the other side of
the valley. Soon after the march of our column
had begun the Piedmonteae brigade, commanded
by General Pennon, in its turn crossed the Vol-
turno, following the opposite road to the right,
which leads to Cajazzo. It is iu this town that
General Pernou will effect a junction with
General De Sonnet, and as soon as this is ac-
complished they have orders to march by the
Strada Consolare towards Teano, from which place
both the Iferdinian and Garibaldi armies will march
towards the Garigliano.
To return, however, to our march. 1 must tell
you that we had scarcely gone four miles when a
sad accident deprived us of one of the best of our
general officers. At the turning of a narrow moun-
tain path the horse of General BUM was suddenly
frightened ►y • mule which was running away.
Bilk, was thrown violently, his foot (Aught
in the stirrup, and he was drained and
kicked by his horse. Hie left leg was
broken, and he was severely bruised about the
head and face. He was, of course, removed to
Naples, and we had thus the misfortune of seeing
one of our best commanding officers laid up for a
month or two at least.

TIN o'cLocc.

A reconnaissance ordered by the general on the
road which leads to Sessa leaves no doubt that the
Neapolitans are disposed to dispute the passage of
our army. They have taken np strong posi-
tions on the ridge of the mountains which com-
mand the defiles of the Abruzzi, so that we
shall find it no easy matter to force it.
Garibaldi seems inclined, as he always is,
to go ahead, and as he has no artillery I should
not be at all surprised if his column were to suffer
very much. It is true that by to-morrow evening
Medici's and Sacchi's divisions will have joined us,
but in twenty hours the Neapolitans have plenty of
time for some effective artillery practice ou our
advancing columns. But here we are, and we must
try to effect our junction] with Cialdini at any
cost. By this time the gallant general will have
entered Teano without much difficulty, so that he
will be able to help WI should we meet with an
overwhelming Neapolitan force. On the other
hand, the division of De Sonnaz--which, as I told
you, has moved from Cajon° since yesterday—is
marching on our right, not far from us.

Although I have no great desiro to be caught by
the Neapolitans a second time, I thought it was my
duty to follow the operations of Garibaldi's army.
But unhappily my horse is knocked up, and I must
give him a few hours rest, and if the Staff move on
soon, as near will be probably the case, I must be
contented with joining it either to-night or to-
morrow. You cannot have an idea of the roads by
which we have come here. " Roads " is nut the
word for them, they are mountain paths only fit for
goats. Out horses are so tired that thoy can
scarcely stand. Let us hope that in a day or two
this tiresome and harassing campaign will bo at
an end.

Fry' elCcocc.

The fight has begun, and a hard fight it is.
From the place where lam now writing I have
heard the roar of the Neapolitan guns and the
rattling of the musketry since 2 o'clock. Judging
from the report of the artillery, I am inclined to
think that Garibaldi was attacked while our
columns were defiling into the road which
leads be Teano. The continuous flashes of the
Neapolitan guns can be distinctly seen from the
window before me, and their direction is towards the
foot of the hills, through which the road Garibaldi
is obliged to follow runs. As lam obliged to send
this letter to Naples almost immediately, I am not
able to ascertain the real occasion of the fight, which
is still going on, or whether it has had the effect of
stopping the forward movement of the Dictator.
Aa De Sonnas mast by this time be at no great
distance it may possibly turn out that it js
the Pinkontsse who have been attacked by the
enemy. In • few hours I shall be able
to ascertain the actual state of the case, but I fear
I shall not be able to send you an account of it to-
day, fur postal communication will not be so easy
as it was when we occupied the positions of Sant
Angelo and Santa Maria.

My next letter will, however, probably bring you
tidings of the bottle of tho Garigliano, for it is ou
this famous river that the Bourbons of Naples will
undoubtedly make their last stand. To judge by
the ignominious defeat sustained by General Scotti
a few days ago, there is not the slightest doubt that
the royalist army will find on the banks of the
Garigliano the same fate which, on the 27th of
December, 1503, was reserved for the French, who,
in spite of the chivalrous deeds performed by
Bayard, were thoroughly beaten by the Spaniards,
under the leadership of Gonzalvo de Cordova.
