Brief Account of the seven Chiefs Under
Garfbnidi,

The New York Tribune translates from Q
letter the following account Of the seven
chiefs who, under Garibaldi, have the COM
rnand of the Cdceiatori dsi Alpi;
ia Masa is known BY the brilliant part
which he took In the insurrection in Pa
lermo on the 18th Of January, ls4s, as well as
for his participation in the war OF inde-
pendence as chief the Siciisn volunteers.
+ he aided, also, in the defense of Messina
against the royal troops in the month of Sep
tember ls45. He has during his exile, pub
lished several political and historical works,
among them an account Of the events in
Sicily in le4s and l849. ..soa
"Carin, Sicilian also, raised regiment
of cavalry at Palermo duriug the Revolution
of ls4s and ls49, and when the Revolution
was over he con tinued TO labor in the cause
of Italy by his Revue Franco ItaLienne, whic b
was published In Paris until the beginning OF
1859.
"Stocco, a native of Calabria, is wellknow n
and very popular In that part Of the Kingdom
of Naples In ls48 he was one of the most
faithful and valiant lieutenants in the
Calabrian insurrection, and he especially
proved his bravery and ability on the 9th
of June, in very unequal combat
between PAngitola and Mazda, which lasted
nearly twelve hours, and in which four or
Eve hundred Calabrians fought with advan-
tage against nearly all the troops commanded
by Gen. Ernziante, who would have been
completely defeated if the other Calabrian
chiefs had come to the aid of Stocco. -,
"Cairoli is the brother Of one of those glori-
ous volunteers who died last year while
fighting against Austria. As soon as he
learned of the proceedings of Garibaldi, he
hurried Immediately TO him, and was
presented to the General by his mother, who
was still in mourning for her elder son. She
also placed at Garibaldi's disposal sum of
80 I usrhf IN
that incidents Of this kind are not very rare
among us now, and certainly this is one of
the strongest proofs of the Complete moral
transforma ion which has been effected in
Italy and which secures the happiness Of her
future.
"Nino Bixio, native of Genoa, is much
beloved here and very popular in Italy. He
was wounded in Rome in l849 by the side of
his friend and compatriot, Godefroy Namely.
In 1859 he joined Garibaldps legion, and was
one of his most brilliant lieutenants. Accus-
toned to the sea like Garibaldi, he has rem
dered great service to the expedition as COM
ma1dant of the Lombardo.
"Orsini in ls48 rendered great aid in the
parliamentary insurrection of January and
was one Of the principal defenders of Messina
in September of that year. In ls49 he de-
Tended the rest of Sicily against the royal
troops commanded by Filangieri. Compelled
TO leave his native country, he accepted the
position of colonel of artillery in Turkey,
but he returned at the first call of Sicily, and
he will render great service to the cause by
reason Of his intimate acquaintance with the
country.
az know nothing Of Anfossi, except that he
ia one of the most distinguished officers oi
the old Sardinian army, and that he ha;
atoned for his love of liberty by long exile.
~ find in the staff of Garibaldi three we'll
known and, justly-loved names: Col. lTurr,
Major Sirtori and the son Of Daniel Manin.
Many other well-known personages would
have Joined the expedition had they known
of it in time, and even now they are gather
ing here from all parts TO go to Sicily, whose
but since the loss Of the Pismonte and the
Lombardo, there are no means of transport
besides which, events seem to render any
new expedition in favor of Sicilian insurrec-
ton useless"
