CAPRERA, Oct. 10. Dear Friends:-I am really

CAPRERA, Oct. s.-Dear Friends:-I would
write at length, but fear my letter would not
reach you. l will only tell you that the COM

arresting us, and we were all but sent to the
bottom. This you do not know. They had the
courage, however, to treat us to two cannon
shots and vOlley OF six rifles. / can assure you
that the balls whistled beautifully, although
they fortunately hurt nobody. Italians ought
to know this. We are guarded within sight.
Yours truly, BAsso.

Order OF the Day to the Army for Rome.
The Gdzettd di IOTinO publishes the following
order of the day, issued to his troops by Major
Ghiller;-
Roman Legion Officers, sub.Officers, and
Roman SOldiers-l am proud to take the COM
mand that has been conferred upon me by the
confidence of my co-citiEens, and send hearty
farewell to the brave battalion of the heroic
PiedmOntese brigade, of which was yesterday
proud to be the commander. In your name and
in my own | promise my old companions in
arms of the regular army that the Roman Legion
shall shortly be in position to array itself
under the common fag-that flag which waves
victoriously in the name OF Italy and Victor
EmanuelirOm Marsaa 10 Castel6dardo andwhich
we are about to hoist upon the Capitol. l do
not speak to you of fatigues and trials always
light to those who fight for their country. / do
not remind you that order, discipline, and sub
ordination are higher duties than bravery to the
soldiers of liberty. Major Luigi Gulmarlelli
who has also come from the glorious ranks of
the army, and has commanded the first battalion
in the difficult period of organization, has given
proofs OF his selfdenial and intelligence.
thank him for them in the name of the country
we are about to deliver.
The course we have to traverse is consecrated
by the Roman name. We shall find to guide us
traces of our ancestors, who dictated laws of
civilization to the world. We must again remind
foreigners that Italy is for the Italians, and that
he Will be in wrong who should have the pre-.
sumption to relegate Rome to reaction and OBJ
scurantism.
We do not declare war to the altar, but we de-
sire to break the impure alliance of two powers
which reason has created distinct, which she
! wills should remain distinct, and Which-being
! mingled together-corrupt and sully faith.
Officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, / reckon
| upon you, and you may rely upon me.
