both in front and RaDk, th-t they soon turned. Ahi
mated by this success, the volunteers rusoed ioi
into the village and penetrated 10 tne pF''ge
leads over the canal. Arrived there, they iei
into a regular ambuscade. Tney were received
with hail OF muskeiry, which came down upon
them from all sioes, the spot near the olluao
being the point OF union OF seNe94 Eoeus'
Th-y were checked by this unexpected reception,
but even more by the sight OF the large masses
of Austrians 10 which the Original battalion hai n
creased. Although only so few in number, ye. en-
couTaged by the words and example oi thef ohlccrs,
they kept their position until tNO reglments uniei
Garibadi own leadership arrived. When the Aus
tIisns saw this Reinforcement, they likewise orough
up fresh troops and 40 batteries OF artillery. To these
OILY eE mountain guns could be oppo,ed, wnch, OF
course, could not hold their against tnef larger

ans could not be driven frIm their po-ll0n. but

Now you would like To know how we came from the
line of the AIDA TO that of the Mela and the Chiese
The history is told in few words For one step the
Allies made in advance the Austrians made one 10 the
rear This is literally the whole story-no incidents
except those always consequent on the march OF
large army more or less heat in the day ana cha Oh
rain at night more less dust and lncumOrance on
the road fewer dainties TO be got by oragng
Bn with all that yon must not suppose that because
there was no fighting the march of the large force o
the Allies went, rs it were, by ITSELF. Athough IN
popular opinion the idea of commander in ch 81 s
gentleman on pranciDg horse, among no END of can
non balls and bursting Shells the coup deon the bat
tJefeld however important, by the great
eat quality in commander Most battles have been
won before even they began by the preliminary dsp9'
stons. This was the art in which all great generals
exceed. ,
Aspo one could forte that the Austrians would
continue to retreat had to be prepared ct every
step for a recon:er with them, and while never losing
sight of this possibility it was of the highest import
ance conceal the real plan of attack to br up the
army under the most favorable conditions before the
enemy and to guard against any countermoyement OF
the latter How far this has been done will be proba,
bly, apparent shortly. But beside these srateglcal
disuositions there was likewise the res frumetartd
to be looked to- on which Caesar the great commander,
laws such stress the maintenance of large army max
ing no requsitiOns. The Roman armies and those OF
the French Republic had the advantage which the
Austrian army of the present day has lkewlsc-name-
ly. to live on the country through which they pass.
This facilitates and smplifes marching very much.
There long wagon trains which are slow TO come
IN aud incumber the roads but becomes quite differ
en if one has TO organize regular system OF supplies
Iop, ,lipaf for advance
French and Piedmontese soldier has, indeed, an In
valuable quality-namely, to carry the most nee
essary part of his rations for several days with
him. and to keep them, too, which is the great art
lie is thus never entirely dependent on the
cornmssariat. But when il comes to a systematic ad
vance and not short expedition, then the difficulties
the same with any other army. The rapldlty oi
the movement scarcely allowed the drawing OF these
regular supplies from the country by means OF con
tracts or ready money purchases; at any rate, one
could not trust TO this expedient aud 1t was neces
say to be prepared with everything without reckoning
on what the country Itself could supply. Eyerything
had to be brought up long distances To facih'
tate this, auxiliary train has been organized for
each of the two armies, by means OF contractors who
supply the carts OF the country. II answers well; the
horses and mules are, in spite of some hard work,
round and sleek and the kept in order by the
agents of their employers so that trace is found OF
oil the by which these bodies OF men usually
distinguish themselves. The result of this is that the
soldier has not been single day without his full
ratlons and what is more, he has them as Us lie
arrives, which makes great difference.
Now that the country behind il free of the enemy,
ell these difficulties will be considerably diminished.
Lombardy il, as every one knows, extremely rich in
all natural productions aud will be able to supply most
things if the allied army should have ~ remain
for 3 considerable time.
As for the movements by which the troop. advanced
rom Milan toward Tie Mela, it would be premature
b. pclk Of iiem beside which they can only be un-
dor-tood when the plan becomes more developed
will give Won, therefore, only general sketch now.
AZ you know, the fist move in advance OF Milan was
IN the direction of Lodi, which tne Austrians aban-
