3 Il know not whether the Turcos had forgotten
their cartridges, or whether, leaving Genoa,
they threw them into the river as a useless encum-
brance, but they rushed towards the cannon with
out hrlng shot. An officer who was present at
the affair states that he never witnessed such an
, extraordinary sight. At the sound of the buple
the Turcos spread about in all directions threw
themselves on the ground, and advanced bv bounds

raised shrIll cry which drowned the sound of the
artillery They had scarcely advanced half wav
when the artillerymen, seeing what they imagined
TO be black monsters approaching under a fire of
grape detached their horses and rode off The

lightning on the guns They killed the gunners

NovARA, June 4.-The retreat of the Austrian

subject OF all conversation here; it is talked about
as well in the parlors of the Headquarters as under
| the leafy shelters which the soldiers put up at
the expense of the ncighboring trees What has
become OF the enemy? where shall we find them?

| Without fully accepting this rather IMAGINATIVE
explanation, it is difficult to comprehend how the
army offered so little resistance
is it the result of plan? is it the effect of demon
allzauon? We do not know, but must soon

Very strange incidents are told which make one

ana these famous battaons of the military colonies
ana these bands OF Croats who used to rush shout
| ing to the charge?
!, AT the time of the forward movement of the 3lst
the divisions Lila and Jellachich did not count less
| than 900 men, They were covered hy a daan
| canal, protected by height, and defended by a
battery which had been admirably placed And
three battalions of Zouaves took everything over

INTO INTO lne canal, climb the bank, and then charge
upon us without firing shot, our battalions trem-

Nothing controlled them-neither orders nor
threats they ran And still these soldiers are brave
ana well disciplined. They would stand all dav un-
der fire without finching: but this sort of attack

said, don't understand it at ALL"
AT tins same battle on the 3lst soldiers were seen
to fall on their knees with the muzzIes of their
muskets on the ground, and to remain there as if
| parayzed.
In the melee Zouaye Il see him still, his long
beard thick with bloody received a feeble bovonnf
stroke, which tore his cheek. He looked at his ad
versary and shrugged his shoulders
"lmbeclle! y says he, ''is that the way to make

And he buried this terrible weapon to the hiIt IN
the body of the Austrian
hat can you do against such men?
One thing, which still continues to be surprisinp
Is the extreme youth of the soldiers whom we take
prisoners. Most of them are only l6, II. Is wears
ola: This youth may partially explain the way in
which these poor soldiers give themselves up.
A corporal who was bringing in five prisoners to
the blyouac, pushes them toward his captain
Take them, Captain" said he 'here are five of
made to drive lambs {"
And he goes off furious.
For the whole day after the 3lst these poor fell
lows shivering, and not daring to move were gath
cred up in the rice fields. Otherwise, they behave
like angels.
All this perhaps, will change before the famous
quadrangle.

toward the Ticino allowed us to hear it distinctly
but the detonations were slow. The Austrian army

enliven their march So too, when they perceive

Then there are alarms every day. Day before
yesterday the SD of the line, which is encamped
mile from Novara, was suddenly, in broad dav,
startled by the cry, "To arms p The regiment
who were taking their soup, ran to their arms and

Austrian reconnotering party, 1000 strong was
taking promenade near by. A hundred musket
shots, which hurt nobody, were exchanged the
Austrians retired, and sod1ery returned to
their coppers.
If you will allow me, we will profit by the little
breathing spaces which war gives US to visit Novara
and its envirOns.
