From the n. Y. Tribune, July 15.l
Giuseppe G~arabaldi, the son of an Ital-
ian seaman, was born at Nice, July /,
1906, and was brought up TO follow his
fathers calling. From early youth he
manifested that daring and chivalrOus
spirit which has characterized him through
life, and one of his earliest exploits, per-
formed while a mere boy, was the saving
of a poor woman from drowning at the
risk of lis own life. Having gone with
his vessel to the Papal States, and become
involved in the political troubles in that
quarter, he was exiled in 1884 and went
to Marseilles, whence he made voyages to
various ports, and in the course Of one of
his cruises was left sick at ConstantinOple.
Here he supported himself for a while as
a teacher. Next we hear Of him at Tunis,
and before long he turned up at Rio JAN
GIRO, where he engaged unsuccessfully in
mercantile pursuits. The revolution in
Uruguay soon opened to him a more con
| GENIAL field of activity. Finding out a
small bark which he named the Mazzini,
he sailed for the Republic with 20 COM
panions, but OF the way encountered two
launches of the enemy. An engagement
ensued, in which Garibaldi was victorious,
though dangerously wounded. Disem-
barking on neutral territory, he succeeded,
after innumerable adventures, after cap
lures, escapes, and cruel ~imprisonments,
in reaching the scene Of h0stilities over
land, and joining an expedition comman-
ded by the insurgent leader Benito Con
zales, with whom he fought calamity. He
married a South American woman of ex-
traordinary energy and devotion, and, ac-
companied and aided by her, he served in
the forces of the Republic, sometimes on
sea, and sometimes on land, until the ces-
sation of hostilities. Then he went to
Montevideo, and supported himself by
teaching mathematics. When Rosas, the
Dictator of Buenos Ayres, declared war
against Uruguay, he was charged with
the command of the Republican feet, and
| did good service with it throughout the
conflict. Sometimes, however, he fought
in the ranks of the Italian Legion on
land, and occasionally commanded it. The
state of affairs in Italy in Is4s recalled
| him to his native country, and with apor-
ton of his fellow exiles from South Amer
lea he placed himself at the disposal Of
| Charles Albert. Notwithstanding the
| cool treatment which he received from
the Sandman king, he forght with his ac-
customed ~gallantry in Lombardy until
overpowered by the Austrians, and then
he took a command under the revolution
ary Government of Rome. During the
siege of that city by the French expedi-
tionary army sent to restore the Pope, he
was stationed outside the walls with 1900
men. ard in a spirited engagement,
seconded by Avezzana from within the
gates, he defeated a greatly superior force
and took 300 prisoners. He beat the
Neapolitans in two battles and after the
capture of the city resolved, with his
handful of men, to continue the struggle
in the open country. sin recompense to

and then forced to give battle, he finally,
after a series of remarkably dextrous
m~aneuvers, reached San Marine, and
there, with only 1900 men remaining,
found himself hemmed in. He would

was then besieged. His little fleet
was deserted by the Austrian blockad-
ing squadron in the Adriatic and dispersed
during the night. Some were captured
and others ran ashore. Among the latter
was the boat containing Garibaldi and his
heroic wife, together with Ugo Bassi and
Cicereacchio. Two days later, Anna

and fatigue. The chief himself, hunted

self TO the care of hrs children. On the
breaking out of the Itniian wal in 1858,
he was invited by the Sardinian
Government to form a national
legion, which soon became celebrated
under the name of CdcciGtori dele Alpi,
or Hunters of the Alps. Detached from
from the rest of the army, he rendered
most important service TO the Italian
cause throughout the campaign, and after
the peace he busted himself i'll Modena
and the other Duchies in promoting the
movement for union with Sardinia. But
he protested earnestly against the annex
alton of Savoy and Nice to France, and
when that measure was carried out re-
signed his seat in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Soon afterward, with the help of
money raised in various countries, he or
ganized an expedition of about 1000 men
to help the i%nsurgent Nespolitans. Land
ing at Marsha, in Sicily, May II, 1860,
he rallied some of the revolutionists to his
standard, besieged and captured Palermo,
entered Messins after a severe battle with
Gen. Bosco at Molazzo, and BY the end of
July was master of all Sicily, with the
title Of Dictator. When next he crossed
over to the main-land, the inhabitants, the
army and the civil officers of the Neapol-
titan States focked to his side; the King
evacuated the Capital, and Garibaldi made
his solemn entrance into Naples on the
sth of September. At Cspua, how
ever, the royshsts made a determined
stand, and the assistance of Fled

could be carried. In opposition TO the
