which had connection with the operations on this

ard Of the lDfatIy of the Guard and the other to the
right of the 4th Corps with the 30 echecnned 10 The
right of il. Both these columns advanced from the
pain aud had for the object Of their operations Cav
RAMA which was the center Of the Austrian position.
They were to reach this point by two great
flank movements i'll order to gain tle range
Of bights to the left and to break through the Aus
rian line separating the center at Cavriana from the
left wing at GudizzolO aud Ceresale. Accordingly,
the LIST Corps which tine left, and supp Uted
by the Guards advanced al the base OF the hills as tar
as the road of SOeriLo and then passed TO the LETT
ard scaled the position. Having done so, 1t took
again It's original direction, and weJt over the crest OF
the hills TOW ard Cavrana. The "a Corps, which was
10 the right OF it, continued 10 sweep the plain and the
hillside far San CsssianO, then like wise faced to
the left and went up the nights which were at the

already gained the hills. The 18th Corps KEEP its orgi
nal ecton to the left OF the Goo road Until 1t came
in front Of Guidzzoo. II threatened the extreme lett
Of tie enemy and tie line of retreat OF this wing from
Medole al then took likewise the direction to gard
tie hills TO throw tself between the center OF the
eneniys srmy and separate il from The left wing.
The taking Of Solferno and this movement OF our
right column to throw itself between the center aud
left viii of the Ausriens the two great phases OF
the dsy. Until o'clock this second phase was still
unde cGed Just about that time heavy thunder
storm came down. which lasted for more than half al
hour and became the turning point. While the lth
Corrs continued its attack on Gudizzoo division Of
the Sd Corps brought up, and crossing behind the
former threw itsef between the hills OF Cavr1ana and
Gudizzolo. At the same time the artillery was work
ing on the flank from the last spurs of the nils of
Cavrians. This was decisive and the Austrian line
was soon broken through.
As for the material results of the day, they were, a.
you know by the Bulletin 30 guns aud several thou
sand pIsoneIs but they are nothing IN comparison
with the moral effect OF the battle. The stfagetical
gsr is the MiDcio line. Unfortunately 1t was not
possible to gain the Mnco passage. The enemy was
indeed defeated; but apprehendng danger to his line
of retreat he began to retire early in the day and IN
tolerably good order. II nightfa before he was
driven out from the GudizzOlo aLd Cayriana. From
there to the Mincio is about 10 miles, and the troops
had been on foot and lighting without food since san
