being ready. we jnmpe,! aboard and were
soon in Chattanooga. Here we lay some

position on the top of the old freight train.
The next evening about four o'clock we
arrived at this place, aid went into camp.

long We shall stay / cannot say, but prob
ably some time. We have qni,e pretty
camp. on high hill, and are inside Of a
fort, or what is intended as such any way.
The works are not very formidable. We
have got good spring water to use. and
hare got our camp cleaned up nice. The
boys oil feel very well, although we had
very hard march. as it was so dreadful
warm. 1t was so warm that some of the
men were sun struck and will never again
have their natural health. The 18th Wis
consin battery lost four men killed and one
MORALLY wounded by the explosion of a
caisson, which was caused by careless
packing of the shells.

changed to the Reserve Corps, which is

There is no news in this city later than
the Tribune's dispstch, published yester-
day morning, which brings the fighting
down to Thursday night Fuller particu-
lars of that, just received, show favorable
result. Longstreet endeavored to get be-
tween Hancock and Warren and was driv-
en- back with no effect on our position or
communications. The fighting was very
obstinate till P. M. Of Thursday.
It is remarkable that the secessionists in
this city do not pretend to have any bad
news. In my judgment there is none but
the Washington Republicans news Of
yesterday which is wholly discredited.

of General Grant.
Garibaldi spoke freely Of the Great
American Rebellion, declaring his entire
sympathy with the people of the North and
the Government. HIS heart, he said, s0Gs
altogether sOitk them. If Il susTe Necessary,
he s0ould 90 to America immediately, and o1feT
ass services to President Lineola. Rnt, he
added, this was superhuous, for the Wsr
could not last much longer, as the South
was becoming utterly exhausted, when the
Union must be re.established. IndiVidu-
ally he felt proud Of having become an
American citizen. BE had been very well
acquainted with George Sanders, when
that individual was Secretary Of Legation;
and subsequent to the breaking out of the
Rebellion Sanders had written to him,
urging him to join the ConfederBtes, to
which he had replied emphstioally express
sing his convictions and hopes Of the
speedy triumph Of the North over both Sc
eessiOn and Slavery. Avery general laugh
was excited by GaribaldTs adding quietly,
g He didn't write to me again"
Converting further on the war, the Cen
eral eulogizsd U. s. Grant in the highest
terms, declaring that the Vicksburg osm-
paign had never been surpassed in war,
and gave it ss his decided opinion that
Grant was "just the man" for the present
emergency. "You've got him, and you
don't want me-" said Gsribsldi-wordE
which, think, Americans may be proud
to hear, one Of them in particular. Talk
ing with young South Csroliniau, form
erly on the staff Of General Longstreet, but
now one Of the staunchest of Union men,
engaged in the study Of the law in London,
and present on the occasion, Garibaldi con-
graduated him " rmly on his abandoning
an evil cause, saying that sail lovers Of
liberty throughout Europe longed to seC
the Union re-established."
After breakfast the party adjourned up
stairs, where Garibaldi received NEST oi
the prominent Americans now in thii
metropolis, together with some English
guests-smong them Robert Browning, the
poet, firm friend to the North.

pected he will make good record. On
starting up the Peninsula from Williams
burg another cavalry force smaller than

was to create diversion in our favor by
