and on our Journey met one Of his regiments on
their march to Salerno. The General had retained
the bands of two of the regiments which had la,o
down their arms at Monteleone, and nothing coui9
be more ridiculous than the appearance presented
by his tattered troops headed by the smart band OF
the army of the King.
We shared some wines we had on the mountain
side with the officers and men, and drank the health
of our Queen, the friend of Italy, and success to
Garibaldi, under the shade Of large vineyard: On
entering the town (Saerno) we found it brilliantly
Illuminated, and up to the very top OF the noun
tain every cottage had its little lanterns peeplng
forth like glimmering stars sin the blue canopy Of
heaven" Thousands had collected, bands played,
and when the General appeared by torchlight at the
window of the Hotel de Vile the enthusiasm OF the
people knew no bounds and into midnight was this
scene protracted. The crowds seemed drunk with
the idea of liberty and with the hope OF casting on
their despotism which had crowded the horrible
prisons with untried victims and this night the
General will sleep with his small staff within an
hours distance of Naples. He has not met soldier
of the King, nor has one life been the sacrifice
What revolution! A dynasty overthrown by the
mighty influence of opinion kingdom so corrupt
and so degraded that hired soldery, employed TO
suppress the constitutional liberty of the people,
refuses in the hour of need to protect even the per-
son of the King! What lesson to monarchs!
GARIBALDrS PROCLAMATION.
TO THE BELOVED POPULATION OF NAPLES THE TRUE
DAUGHTER OF THE PEOPLE
1t is with true respect and love that present my
self to this noble and imposing centre OF the Italian
population, which many centuries of despotism
have not been able to humiliate to induce to bow
their knees at the sight Of tyranny.
The first necessity of Italy was harmony, in
order to unite the great Italian family. To-day
Providence has created harmony through the sub
lime unanimity of all our provinces for the recon-
stitution Of the nation. And for unity the same
Providence has given to our country Victor Eman-
uel whom we, from this moment may call the
father of our Italian land
Victor Emanuel the model Of all sovereigns, will
impress upon his descendants the duty that they
owe to the prosperity Of people which has eleva-
ted him for their chief with enthusiastic devotion
The Italian clergy, who are conscious OF their
true mission, have as guarantee OF the respect
with which they will be treated, the ardor the pa
triotism, and the truly christian conduct of their
numerous fellow priests, who, from the highly tobe-
praised monks of Laguamia to the noble hearted
priests of the Neapolitan continent have, one and
ALL in the sight and at the head of soldiers, de-
| fled the gravest dangers of battle.
| repeat it-concord is the first want Of Italy.
| So, we will welcome as brothers those who once
| disagreed with u.s. but who now sincerely wish to
bring their stone to raise up the ce of our coun-
try.
Finally, respecting other peoples houses. we are
| resolved to be masters in our own, whether the
| powerful of the earth like it or not.
GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI
SALERSo Sept. Z, 1860.
The newspaper organ of the Sandman govern
ment, speaking for Victor Emanuel, says:
1.-THE intelligence from Naples has produced the
most agreeable sensation in Turin. The nomina.
ton Of the Ministers Panell, Scialoga and Cozens,
| all well known here, have been appauded. The
handing over the fleet and the arsenal to Admiral
| Persano, of the Sandman navy, is also most i'm.
portant fact 1t is the most significant of ALL being
most eloquent reply to the insinuations of those
| who talked of misunderstanding between Garibadi
and government. Agreed on the end they
could not but be as to the means. Besides, Gen.
era Garibadi acquainted with the views of Our
government, and with the policy that prudence
counselled him to follow.
Count de Cavour is said in a confidential letter,
to have testified to him the confidence he felt in
him. and his desire that they should cooperate to-
gether for the triumph of the national cause. The
first acts of General Garbald at Naples prove that
he has rightly Judged the situation and wants Of the
country Twenty-Five millions Of Italians adopt the
same programme, accept the same principle, hail
the same sovereign 1t now depends the wisdom,
the foresight and the energy of the government to
constitute the nation to organize its forces and to
direct its movements The fate of Italy is wholly
in the hands of Italians"
