LETTER FROM GENERAL AvEzzAHA.
81 AsGxLo, Oct 4, 1860.
DEAR FRKsD-on the day after my arrival at Naples
called 10 pay visit to my friend Garibaldi, who bad
bis general quarters at Caserta As he say me
ne gave me embrace, and met two warm and
anectiorate brothers, while he excla medsYou just
como In time" and proposed to the instant the
command Of the right wing Ct the army, which was
stationed at this point.
accepted IT, OF courre, and started instantly 70 take
che command OF the division there stationed and to direct
Che operations that amott the same morning on
which reached that position had to exchange cannon
and rife ball with the enemy, till on the LIST
of this month, at half past four O'Clock A. n,
Che enemy resoutely took the offensive, and attacked
my position with force Of not less than $4,000 men, all
well drilled This the whole position, which
particularly the vulnerable point the right Of my
said position which he attacked with force Of
men. had that spot 10 meet such . host
scarcely two thousand men. I Immediately extended
part Of the number tirdterr the front, avaing
myself OF all the undulation OF the ground, trees &C.
ond the remainder brought In person TO bear their
right flank, also their front, they were
advancing; and l succeeded In checking In
como their marches, and keeping free the main
road Of Santa Maria, by which General Garibald, who
mad not Al that time arrived could into the neld
We fought I'LL i've O'Clock p n obstinatey, losing and
gaining ground alternately at moments believed my
self lost troops entrusted with the defence
Of bArricAde panic abandoned the po
.uition. But I always defeaded myself with The no.
rnander Of the forces ard yielded notwishstand
ing that the enemy was gaining ground considerably d
every instant II just at this crisis that the vaorous
General GArbadi, with his immense prestige on the SOL
diery, succeeded in muaterng thres hundred
OF those who had given way, and chArgei
the enemy desperately 1t the point Of the
bayonet, upon which they took TO precipitate
flight, and We gained tn, day. But must confess
paid dearly, asI alone lost about sig hundred mon
killed and wounded.
The plan Of the enemy vast, and lees than with
she view surround vita 90 900 and take all
prisoners. But Il turned quite The contrary. He a..
tackled simultaneously with my position those o, Santa
Maria, CsssriA and hadalion and In oil these positions he
repussd besides leaving behind 1000 prisoners and
having many dsbanded and dispersed In the
ncuntsps, and losing large number OF pieces OF
artillery.
w~s glorious day for my dear country, and that
WILL hope, seal ~ destiny wss, too, glorious for
me, that l was preserved 70 this day, after forty
yea Of exile and martyrdom and enabled 70 participate
IN the glory Of such i'm mortal OCCASION the Almighty
