The Washington IateIligeacsr publishes an ta-
terestfng letter Of the Goth ultfIno, from Naples
from which we extract the following: ss
On Tuesday last, in company with two Enolisfi
gentlemen and Madame Sol this eity visited
the camp before Capua. As we drove down the
road leading TO the river voIturno We reached tbe @
extreme point where the road turned rouud tha
base of ST. Angelo, when q sentinel stopped ns.
saying" You are in great danger OF the batteries
from the other side, which command the entirs
road you have just come down. and they have
been firing upon M this mornipg.u We al once
halted and sent our carriage back, and Under the
conduct Of one Of GaribaidPs men ascended the
Hlounfain till we reached the summit OF the rsin9
ground and had good view Of Gapua aad iss de-
fences. While thus standing at gaze, aided BY
glasses, a gun was fired from q sfnalI battery We
had not before observed on the side of the o.
poste mountain. In an instant the ball flew ever
our heads and Glanced to fall Id the camp beyond
near q group of officers, and killed horse.
With this notice to quit we desceHded and
reached the road OF st. Angelo lust as Garibaidi
and his staff were ascending, and soon saw him
standing alone on the highest point scanning the
eneny's positions with his glass. One of fafs afds
who had Joined US, and who was known to
Madame s., said it was the Generals custom to re-
main for hours upon the mountain; SO we were
compelled to give mp all hope of seeing him. As
We were walking towards the place where our car.

man. all Of the oden time.i; His dress and bearing
were alike the type Of q landed gentleman ont Of
the agricultural counties. He begged us to avoid
the r9ad, as We were within the range of the
enemy's guns Thanking him for his kindness we
left hila, and among our gnesses we thought he
must be no other than Col. Praed, who is to con-

no! that gentleman came down with as and has
offered his services as a private. He has declined
a commission, and will act only with US as COM

We mixed with the soldiers, who told us that
they were to be sent to the front that night and ex

as Joyous as they would have been going cut to a
