GENERAL GARIBALDI.

| The dashing enterpriseof Gen. Garabaldi, 81
successfully accomplishedsssy his throwing hi
volunteers upon the right of the Austrian
army, has not only given him footing il
Lombardy but has probably made him master
of Como, which commands the Lake. We use
the word pro6ably-all that is certainly known
is that Garibaldi had taken Varese, without
having artillery. If he MAINTAIN himself in his
position for few days, no doubt he will be
strongly reinforced. discontinued occupation
of Austro-L -Lombardian ground would greatly
help the Allies.
That the game of War is game of Chess,
upon large scale, was sid by the Great Ma
poleon. 1t is quite truesthat strategy avails
as much as force, in campaign. The head to
plan is required as well as the hands to exc
cute. An English paper says that Sir Will
lam Napier, the eminent Historian of the PEN
insular War, who is now dangerously ill, and
in an advanced period of life, had predicted,
some time ago, from consideration of the con-
dition of Italy and the comparative position
of the combatants, that the attack upon the
Austrian right, by which Garibaldi established
himself in Lombardy, and has cut off his OPP
ponents from using the Sp4ugen Pass, was the
particular move, in the great game of war,
which should be made, exactly at the very
time
1t may be worth while here to give brief
He was born at Nice, .6fty-two years ago,
and entered the Sandman navy at an early
age. In 1884 he was compelled to fly from
Genoa, because Of his completely in a liberal
conspiracy. After two years residence in Mar
seiles, he went to offer his services to the Bey
of Tunis but received such insufficient en-
couragement, that he soon left Africa and went
to South America, where he commanded, for
the Republic oe Uruguay, the squadron des-
tined to act against Buenos Ayres. When the
Revolution of 1913 broke ont, Garibaldi, with
the remains of the Italian legion who had
fought under him in South America, fought
on the side of italian independence. In |
Piedmont, in the Tyrol, and in Rome, (Which
he gallantly defended against the French
troops,) his valor was distinguished. His, in |
Geed, is
A spirit that can dare
The deediiest form fissaoath can take,
And dare it-for the -daring sake
After Rome was taken, Garibaldi disbanded
his little company of adherents and went to
New York, where he entered into business
Thence he returned to South America, and
the Peruvian navy for some time.
He has lived, with his children, in an island
near Sardinia for the the last five years. His
wife, a woman of undaunted courage, died, by
his side, from an Austrian ball in Italy. AT
The sound of the war trumpet, Garibaldi re-
,urned to his native land, was recognized and
and the volunteers FASTENED to
enrol themselves under his command. Napo-
con and Victor Emmanuel have great reliance
n his ability and bravery, and he seems desti-
o plgy leading part in the events of the fast
coming time.
OF lofty stature, strong frame, brave heart,
md generous spirit, Garibald is said to be the
'est guerilla leader now in Europe. The val
lie of his services and example, in Eombardy !
nd Piedmont, at this crisis, is incalculable.- =
