THE SUN.

LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, no.

GARIBALDI is now firmly posted on the main-
land. The capture of Reggio took place on the
21st, much in the manner which we had anticipated
from the somewhat confused telegrams, by a com-
bination of forces, and by completely out-general-
ing the Neapolitans, as GARIBALDI did so success-
fully at Palermo, and as he duped the Austrians
'with similar skill on the Alps. On the present
occasion, while his visible and tentative movements
kept the enemy expecting him north of Reggio,
across the narrowest part of the Straits,
he appears to have sent his ships round
the island ; and while the Neapolitans
were straining their eyes across the Straits, and
paddling up and down them with their ships, what
does GARIBALDI do but slip across with the main
body of his forces, and disembark at Melito, south
of Reggio by a dozen miles, while they were all
looking for him as many miles north ! To combine
the small bands who had already crossed, and whom
he was using as a Will-o'-the-Wisp, to decoy
the Neapolitans in the wrong direction, was the
work of but a few hours. The result was
that first the town, then the citadel, then
one small place after another, and at
length two entire brigades, with all their
horses, arms, ammunition, and material of war,
with the fort of Pizzo, have fallen into his hands.
An excellent beginning this.
And now he has to march to Naples along a road
specially adapted both to his genius and to his
receiving the effective co-operation of the ever ready
Calabrians. It lies not far from the sea, at the
foot of hills, mountains, and forests, with no
fortified place we believe, certainly not one of
any importance, in his way. The Neapolitan
navy, if more capable or willing than it has
proved itself, can do him little harm,
since his guns now command both shores of the
Straits. He has only a small, and, we suppose,
not very hostile, certainly not dangerous, garrison
in the citadel of Messina to watch. Indeed, we
have seen it stated that he is master of heights
which command the citadel. But GARIBALDI
seems not to be in too much haste. He is utterly
averse to shedding Italian blood. With a humanity
and wisdom which all must admire, he would far
rather gain over the Neapolitan soldiers and officers
to the Italian cause than conquer them in battle.
Thoroughly satisfied of the nobility and goodness
of his cause, he relies as much on an appeal to its
merits, as on the sword with which he maintains it.
The surrender of the two brigades is, we therefore
trust, the prelude to the surrendering of all the
rest. Out of such a force as 70,000 men, the ras-
cals, we may sure, cannot be a large proportion ;
and all the better part of the Neapolitan army
must be not only Italians in their sympathies, but
admirers of the great General, of whose European
fame every Italian soldier is proud, and under whom
he would prefer to serve.
The letter which he addressed to his officers
and soldiers before leaving the Faro is an undo-
signed portrait of the man as an Italian and a
commander. Besides bravery, he impresses on
the officers, as one of the first requisites, the
amiability which attracts and secures the affec-
tion of the soldiers. He marks the superiority
of thorough • .
dlsclpline obtained by kindness, to
that established by harshness. He shows how
effective tke former
rmer is, as compared with the
the
in hour a
latter,privation, of difficulty,
and of danger. He desires that an officer
should be a man whom
his soldiers could not,
from personal
attachment, desert under any circum-
stances ; and he would have
his
apart, as a kind
officers not a
jive messing
haughty aristocratic c
of petty divinities, but "living with their men,
and taking part with them as they would with
their own families." GARIEALDI might, Nye fancy,
lecture with advantage at our own Horse Guards.
In the same spirit, so entirely the reverse of the
Austrian, he reminds the soldiers of the claims
of the poor hardworking peasantry, and of the
