A correspondent of the Journal de' De
bats says: E4
A most brilliant episode of the action ofthe
lst of October was the recapture OF the
battery at the foot of Mont San Angelo.
When | left Santa Maria / knew that this
battery had been much disabled in the morn
ing Garibaldi arrived at nine o'clock, when
the enemy was laundering at il with all his
strength, because it took him in flank, and
was causing him severe loss. The triple
battery courageously resisted the attack, and
never slackened fire, when all at once the
one situated at the foot of the hill became
silent. -.-.- ..,.-. q. -.z.....
The royalists, to the number Of 2,50o, got
round the hill and rushing upon the guns,
spiked FIVE of them, and killed several of the
men at their pieces. Garibaldi, on the San
! Tammsro side, soon observed the silence OF
| his favorite battery, and on did-de-oamp from
General Milwitz soon informed him of the
disaster, which would probably have lost
him the battle. Garibaldi at once started
of. crossed Santa Maria, followed by Medici
and his staff, and, collecting what men he
could. cried out in a voice which caused all
to shudder; 1--WE are going to die, but the
Italians must win the day. yat all other
points we have conquered
Followed by 100 men, at rapid pace
Garibaldi, leading the way in a small disa-
bled carriage, went right forward But just
as they got near the Casino of San Angelo,
some Neapolitan Chasseurs who were lying
on the ground, rose and fell upon them.
The coachn1An drove bis horses into ditch
and formed a barricade of the carriage.
Garibaldi jumped up, indignant and went
up to the Ghasseurs shouting, "Viva Italial'
Some of his men coming up at the same
time, the enemy became demoralzed and
took to fight Garibaldi was slightly
wounded in the stomach, and his trousers
were riddled by two or three bullets. "If |
only had another pair" he said and without
further remark he continued his march to-
ward battalion of $50 Hungsrians, COM
manded by Gen. Mogyorady. He pointed to
: the Neapolitans who were. in possession OF
: the battery, and cried out to them, 'For-
ward, my lads, disperse that rabble yonder
| for meln This 'rabble" consisted of reg.
iment of the line, squadron of cavalry, q
= company of Chasseurs and a company of ar
tillery.
The Hungarians without waiting to count
: the numbers of the adversary, rushed for.
{ ward and charged with the bayonet. After
r alcontest of twenty minutes, the battery wa;
retaken, and once more it poured its storm
j of grape on the Neapolitan troops, who fee
a in confusion across the fields. The Hun
s garians, in this encounter, had thirty mel

wound, but hurried elsewhere. The day
| however, was now won.
