TIKI BATTLE voLTURNo.
We have heretofore stated that this battle commenced
on the "a of October by the Neapotsns estimated at
20 600 strong and after hours hard fighting they
utterly routed by 600 under Garibaldi who pur
sued them close under the walls OF Capua In bis ac-
count Of this battle the correspondent OF the London
Times says:
After the first delea. in the morning the enemy had
returned with forces to carry ST. Angelo Not only
did all his field guns scatter death in every direction, but
Likewise three batteries from the opposite bank and the
mortsrs from the fortress began TO open tremendous
fire. under the protection Of which the Neapoitans ad
| yanced, between ten and eleven A. NJ. They carried
once more the position OF the barricade, and occupied
even the first houses leading up towards st. Angelo
Medici and Coloael Spangaro besides Garibald, did
everything to steady the Waverng troops, who, seeing
themselves much outnumbered and attacked by such
formidable artillery began to think the day lost. For
hours the fight lasted continual advance or retreat on
both Sides but still the Neapotans could not gain much
ground This was perhaps the most strongly contested
spot on the whole line and onl in the afternoon the &C
vantage began to show Oh our side. The Neapoitaus
had began TO clear the road but they still held our bar
rcades and the woods on both sides Of IT, With great
trouble two skirmshing lines were formed and sent to
threaten their LEFT and right and then hundred men
were collected behind the first house and these made
rush at the cry of viva GaribaldiW and carried the
position about p NJ, which was kept as well as the
| guns which were in il.
Garibald returned towards Santa Nara and brought
ON the rest the Brigade Eber complete the
ijh had been gained. Scarcely half mile from Santa
Maria an open space lies the left Of the open road
through which detached barrack is visible Here the
Neapolitans had placed some guns while their infantry
lined the woods. As soon they the column they
opened fire. Garibald not needing, still advanced I'M
Ill he came the first body. Here he gave orders TO
the Hungarian Legion and the Swiss Company to adj
vance and drive them away. The two threw themselves
| into the woods and, scarcely using their freams, ad-
vanced with the blyouet driving the Neapoltans before
them like sheep. cavalry charge of several squadrons
followed and did good deal Of harm to the little body
of brave fellows but did not hinder them from following
up their and pushing forward to the very edge
| OF the Campo before Capua.
Garbadi still advanced with the lew remaining compa-
MES in the direction of St. Angelo sending of one after
another to continue the work OF the HungarGns Medi-
ci had in the meantime also pushed in advance and by
four F. NJ the Neapoltans flying in all directions,
and had occupied the edge OF the wood at half
mile from CapuA where they remained all night. It
was complete defeat as ever any army suffered
THE SECOND ENGAGEMENT.
The special correspondent Of the Times writes under
date of the I'd and 4h instant second letter from San
Il Maria, which gives the following:
As often the with victories, the most tangible
fruits of that OF Yesterday reaped the day after
The Dictator, Who had displayed the whole day of the
battle most superhuuan activity and energy, had re-
tired for few hours to rest in the modest little chamber
Of the parish priest Of ST. Angelo when, about ten p

a body Of them had even occupied Monte BriAno aud

ever force he had in hand among them two companies
of Pedmonese Bersaglieri and two companies of the
