GARIBALDI IN LoMBARDT.-1TOaG,M MAY 80.
Anxious to gain exact information concerning
Gen. Garibaldis wonderful exptoits. | left Al
essandria for this place, where | arrived this
morning. On my reaching Aroma, | found
that the Provisional Extraordinary Commits
sary had been arrested by order of Sienor Tee
chic, who was so kind to me at VerceIG If
seems that the aforementioned magistrate
being anything but courageous, had bolted at
the first news of Austrian invasion. The only
excuse he made on his return was that cour.
age was gift which had not been granted TO
him. Signor Tecchio did not find the excuse
good enough, and sent him to prison, where he
is kept in strict confinement.
One Of the Secretaries of Count Cayour,
Signor La Farina, Sican OF great talent,
has been sent here to act as extraordinary
commissary, not only for Aroma, but with full
powers for the whole of this important PROV
lnce Ihls gentleman, who, in former times
was one OF the most sanguine adherents of
Mazzni, is a man of rare energy, and he has
set to work with the determination of CARRYING
on the revolution of the whole of the occupied
Lombardy provinces. The alarm bells still
ring In all the cOmmunes of the Varesetto,
1ramezzo, Como and Lecco districts The
volunteers are pouring in from every village
and hamlet into Garibaldi's camp, which has
also been strengthened by Pedmontese bri-
gade and two batteries OF field artillery. You
see that the instruction is gaining ground in
Upper LUmbardy. AT the first appearance of
our braves, all the civil authorities of Como
and Lecco have recognized the Government of
King Victor Emmanuel which in those towns
is now represented by Count Visconti Venos-
ta,ayoungnobleman from Vatelina, of greatde-
termination. His spirited proclamations have
reused the enthusiasm of country folks and
citizens, who have haStened to the scene of
action with an ardor never witnessed in 1913.
Money, so much wanted in these times is
pouring into Garbaldi's military treasury, to-
gether with gold necklaces and other valuab e
trinkets from fair Lombard ladies' The sum
thus collected in two days has reached 1000;
O0Of.
The telegraph wires will, no doubt, have in
formed you that Como was occupied on Satur-
day last, after hard fight of two hours at San
Fermo and Camerlata. This aforementioned
position is to be considered as the key of the
picturesque barrier of Como, for its elevated
ground enables small body of men to oppose
long resistance even to an army of $4,000
strong. The positions were carried at the
point of the bayonet, for our Cacciatori deli
Alpi could not fire their muskets, so much in
teri0r in range to those of the enemy 1t was
a hard and bloody fight, which may, without
eXaggeration, be compared to the strug-
giles of old, when Roman and Carthagni-
an leglons met together. Every one here
asks how Garlbaldl could have been ordered
OF aIoWed 10 venture on so daring Il move
ment by himself. The truth is that he was in
structed to move in the direction of Varcsa by
slow marches, keeping himself in constant
communication with Cialdinis division, to
which he belongs, BY the necessity of strate-
getical combinations, Gen Cialdini was
obliged to march to and fro from Vercelli
and Stroppiana, guarding the right bank of the
Upper Sesia, as far as Gattinara The neces-
sary result Of this constant marching and coun-
termarching was that OF retarding the projects
Of Garibaldi He moved slowly for two days,
but he could not stand it any longer, and has
tening from Romagna to the headquarters OF
the King he begged him to observe that he
did not an could not understand the scientific
principles OF a regular war; and that he wished
to be left to his darling inspiration. Victor
Emmanuel saw directly that it was of no use
to keep such a bird in the cage of strategic
rules, and, letting him loose, said go where
you like, do what you like. have only one
regret-that Of not being able to follow YOU"
In five hours he was at the head of his daring
soldiers. gu know the rest
