GARIBALDPS VICTORY AT CALATA
FINN.
GENOA, May 81.
Dispatches have been received from
Palermo by the Sardinian Government,
which fully confirm not only the victory
obtained by Garibaldi at Calata Fimi
over the 1000 Neapolitans lead by
LAMA, but the more important one,
which placed the heights surrounding
Palermo in the hands of the Sicilian pat
riots The first of these victories is
further confirmed in letter addressed
by Garibaldi himself to Rosalino Pilo,
Count Of Capace, from Calata Finn, un-
der date Of the 10th:
yesterday we fought and won. The
enemy is flying toward Palermo. The
populations are in high spirits, and join
my camp by thousands. Tomorrow |
shall march on Alcamo. Tell the Sicil-
ians that the hour is come to put an end
to their slavery, and that we shall do it
soon. Every arm is good for the brave;
musket, scythe, hatchet, a nail at the top
of stick Unite with me. Thwart the
enemy plans as much as possible-light
bonfres upon all the heights which sur
round the Neapolitan troops. During
the night kill as many Of the enemy's
outpost sentries as you can. Intercept
the communications; in word, harrass
the enemy as much as you are able. |
hope to see you soon. Yours,
GARIBALDI"

The defeat of the troops at Calata
Fimi was celebrated as a victory at
Bari, which was illuminated by COM
mand, and a Te Deum was sung there.
The following dispatch, however, Of

"Excellency-Help! prompt help!-
The armed bands which left Salemi this
morning, have covered all the hills to

point The firing was well sustained,
but masses of Sicilians, united with the
Italian bands are in immense numbers.
We have killed the great Commander Of
the Italian Free Bands, and have taken
their flag. which we have with US. I'm
fortunately a piece of artillery fell from
the back Of a mule which was shot, and
remained in the hands Of the rebels; this
pierces my soul with grief. My column
was obliged under a retreating fire to
fall back on Calata Fimi, where | am on
the defensive, as the rebels, in great
numbers, make show of attacking us.
[ therefore beg your Excellency instantly
to send off strong reinforcement Of in
fantry, and at least another half battery,
as the masses are numerous and obstl-
nately bent on fighting. [ fear to be
assailed in the position which | occupy.
I will defend myself as long as possible,
but if most prompt assistance be not
sent, I must confess [ do not know
where the affair will end. The ammu-
milton of the artillery is almost finished;

This was issued the day before the
battle of Calata Fimi; the following pro-
clamationappeared on the day after

and proof Of it is, that l have led you
to an enterprise very arduous, both on
account of the numbers and the strong
positions of your enemies. | counted
on your fatal bayonets, and | have not
been deceived.
"Deploring the hard necessity Of be-
ing compelled to fight against Italian
soldiers, we must confess that we found
a resistance worthy of men belonging to
better cause; and this proves of how
much we shall be capable on the day on
which the Italian family shall be serried
together around the glorious banner Of
