The Battle of Ealferino.
The Times publishes letter written upon 1
the battle field of Salferino which states that
the battle commenced just before 5 O'Clock in
the morning of the Oath ult.
The Austrians had crossed the Mincio for
the purpose Of attacking the allied army, and
had taken up strong position on the hills
near Castigliona.
The French attacked the position with
great impetuosity, and soon drove the enemy
from the nearest points to the town, and pur-
sued them into the small villages on the plain
below, the first of which was the village of
Salferino, at which point the Austrians made
a stand, and disputed every inch of ground
fighting with the utmost desperation.
Here the hottest of the battle was fought,
the Austrians being driven out of Salferino by
the heroic band of French under the COM
mand Of Gen Neill, returned again and again
to the charge, twice retaking the position, and
it was not until the French had driven them
out for the third time that the Austrians
finally abandoned the place and concluded to
stay out
The brunt of this terrible conflict for the
possession of Salferino was borne by the corps
of $4,000, under Gen. Neill, who was created
a Marshal of France on the field.
The possession Of Salferino enabled Gen

success of the Allies.
The people of the village of Salferino took
part in the battle against the French, firing |
from their windows and the tops of their |
houses which compelled the French to burn |
the town.
The Austrians fell back on Volta, and plant |
ed formidable batteries on the verge Of the |
hills surrounding the place, and about one |
mile from the river Mincio.
The French attacked this position and cap
tured it at the point of the bayonet after a |
terrible cannonade of one hour, when a part |
of the Austrian army crossed the Minoio re-
treating along their whole line.
The battle continued to rage with terrible |
carnage over the region northwest Of the lins
