THE GEORGIA REGULARS.
Every Georgian should feel proud of the First
Georgia Regiment, known as the Georgia Regu
lars and take a special interest in its destinies.
It was organized, and has been disciplined and
managed according to the strict rules of the regu
lar service, under the old army regulations; and,
under such auspices, it very soon attained a
degree of efficiency not excelled, if equalled,
by any regiment in 'the Confederate service.
Throughout its eventful career, in battle and
in camp, amidst hardship, and suffering, and
peril of all kinds, it has nobly sustained the
honor of Georgia. On many a bloody field, it
has illustrated the heroism of her people, while
the toils and privations it has cheerfully en
dured, prove their patriotic fortitude and en
durance.
We are sure the following letter, therefore,
will be read with universal interest in our
State. It is melancholy to contemplate the
waste and destruction that have visited this
fine regiment
The commanding officer, Major John D.
Walker, is a brother of the distinguished Gen.
William Hemy Walker, whose name is a syno
nym for all that is chivalric in valor and he
roic in patriotism. We are pleased to learn
that Major Walker’s wound, though severe,
does not involve danger of amputation. He is
expected shortly home, on a visit to his friends.
Another name mentioned in the letter of
Captain Kenan, will be read with melancholy
interest in this community. It is that of Lieut.
Henry Porter, another of Richmond county’s
contributions to the band of heroes and mar
tyrs that have made Southern, valor immortal.
He possessed an ardent and impulsive nature,
which gave enthusiasm to his valor, and made
him a true type of the dashing, daring, impetu
ous Southern soldier:
LETTER FBOM CAPT. LEWIS H. KENAN, OF THE REGU
LARS TO HIS FATHER AT RICHMOND :
September Ist, 1862.
Dear Father-. Yesterday morning I wrote you
a hasty note, and I cannot send much more than
one now. I said I would give particulars when I
wrote again. By that I meant only the casualties
in our regiment and thing connected withit. The
wounded I have not seen since early yesterday
morning, as we moved on in pursuit of the Hes
sians early and are now some considerable dis
tance from the field. Our brigade fought within
five hundred yards of where Bartow tell, conse
quently ’us the second time the plains of Ma
nassas have witnessed bloody strife between the
enemy and our troops.
We (our brigade) went into action about four
o’clock, perhaps a little later, Saturday afternoon,
and remained till supported by Wright’s brigade,
though the Yankee troops directly opposed to us
were made to leave by us, and not nntil new
brigades were brought into action by them, were
we ordered to give way f° r new troops of ours.
Our regiment carried in 170 men and 24 officers,
making a total of 194, and lost in killed and
wounded 104. Pretty hot times, you will perhaps
say. for an hour’s fight. Fifteen of the twenty
four officers were killed and wounded; Captain
Patton was instantly killed. Lieut. Porter, of
Augusta, Georgia, was shot in five feet of me,
through the stomach, and died next morning
about one o’clock. Lieut. Blauce has lost his left
arm, high up, near the shoulder. Anderson had
his leg shot about the ankle, one of the bones
broken, and stands a chance of losing it. Wylley,
I learn, for he was carried off before I saw him,
is badly wounded in the knee or thigh, and the
probability is amputation will be necessaiy.—
Burdell, also, is in the same situation. I saw bis
leg, and »he ball went through the knee. Tom
Fort has a very painful flesh wound midway be*
tween the knee and ankle. Major Walker, the
field officer present, was badly wounded in the
leg, and is about in the situation of Anderson.
Lieut. Blount was shot through the groin. Lieut.
Benning received a severe and painful flesh
wound. Lieut. Bowdre was wounded in the leg,
also Miller Grieve, but neither of them dan*
gerously. Pearce was struck in the back of the
neck and severely hurt, not dangerously, however.
I was also grazed just enough to bring blood,
the ball hitting my left side about as high as the
middle of the arm, between the shoulder and
elbow. It has not interfered with my perform*
ance of duty. ■ -
I went into the fight with twenty men and
Lieut. Sorrell, and lost on the field five—among
the number Rainwater. He was, as were the
others, killed instantly. Two more are mortally
wounded, probably dead before this, and seven
others dangerously and severely hurt. I was the
only one hit who am now doing duty, except.
Sergt. Wilf, who, although struck In two places,
was fortunately not injured much. The fighting
was all done in one place, that is, the men were
all killed at a halt and in hue of battle.
Our regiment is the praise of all, but its days
are numbered, the strength at present being only
about seventy (exclusive of the tew officers here.)
The skirmish at Thoroughfare Gap, on Thursday,
gave the regiment no little reputation; for,
though losing only three men in Billed, we slew
about thirty-six of the enemy. Our regiment
fought a brigade, but we were well protected.
The column is moving, so I must say good-bye.
Your affectionate son.
Lewis E. Kenan.

THE CONSCRIPTION ACT,
There seems to be no end to the abuses es
tbe Conscription Act. We learn, on good au
thority, that the scene presented at Camp Ran
dolph, in this State, is, in many truly
heart-rending. Men totally unfit for the duties
of camp life, and much less capable of endur
ing the fatigues of a march, are now congre
gated there, preparatory to being placed in tbe
ranks of tbe Confederate army. Is this the
object of the Conscription Law ? Was that law
enacted for the purpose of testing the loyalty
of the Southern people, and asc3rtaining how
much they could or would suffer for the great
cause in w Inch they are engaged ? Or was
it simply for the purpose of filling up the
dwindling ranks of the army, and reinforcing
our troops in the field ? If it was for the former
object, well, indeed, has it succeeded ; for, pa
tiently, and almost cheerfully, have the poor
unfortunates —the weak and the infirm—sub
mitted to its enforcement, and given themselves
up to tbe enrolling officers, as willing victims
to an unnecessary tyranny. But we do not,
we cannot, believe, that such was the object of
the law. It was, no doubt, intended to fill up
the ranks of broken regiments, and to retain in
the service the six months and twelve months
men, whose terms were about to expire. These
objects, it has, in a great measure, fulfilled.
Why now increase its rigors, and enforce its
provisions with a severity that would indicate
an unwillingness on the part of the people ta
sustain the cause in which they are engaged ?
So far as Georgia is concerned, we repel the
foul insinuation as a base slander and gross
injustice. Our people are ready and willing to
give all, to sacrifice al), on the altar of their
country’s independence. Why, then, should
the weak and the infirm be dragged from their
homes to do military duty? Os what use,,
pray, will such soldiers be in the army ? In
stead of reinforcing and strengthening the
army, they will only weaken it, impede its
progress, and render its defeat easy to the
enemy.
Why then, does not Congress take cognizance
of this matter? It is the guardian of the peoples’
rightsand liberties; and if it does not take im
mediate steps to require Adjutant General Cooper
tb revoke his cruel order, it will be false to its
high trusts, and false to every principle of right
and justice. The order of the Adjutant General
is not only cruel and unjust, but it is illegal—be
ing contrary to military law. If it is not revoked,
then it will be unnecessary to retain examining
physicians in the service—their services can be
entirely dispensed with, for any enrolling officer
will be able to judge for himself whether a con
script has both arms cut off, one leg gone, or is
dying with the consumption ; for really these are
almost the only bodily defects which will now ex*
empt a man from conscription.
We hope that the press will speak out on this
subject; that the Governors of the States will
take some interest in the oppression the people
are subjected to ; and that Congress will hasten
to adopt such legislation on the subject as will
require the Adjutant General and his enrolling
officers to govern themselves by the “rules of
war” in respect to medical examinations,as they are
obliged to do in all other respects. It will be
better for the people, and better for the cause.

ADDRESS OF COL. BRADLEY T- JOHNSON TO
THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND.
The following address has been issued by Col.
Bradley T. Johnson, who accompanies our army
in Maryland :
To the People of Maryland;
After sixteen months of oppression more gall
ing than the Austrian tyranny, the victorious
army of the South brings freedom to your doors.
Its standard now waves from the Potomac to
Mason and Dixon’s line. The men of Maryland,
who, during the last long months have been
crushed under tbe heel of this terrible despotism,
now have the opportunity of working out their
own redemption, for which they have so long
waited, and suffered, and hoped.
The Government of the Confederate Slates is
pledged by the unanimous vote of its Congress
by the distinct declaration of its President, the
soldier and statesman, Davis, never to cease this
war nntil Maryland has the opportunity to decide
for herself her own fate, untrammeled and free
from Federal bayonets.
The people of the South, with unanimity un
paralleled, have given their hearts to our native
State, and hundreds of thousands of her sons
have sworn, with arms in their hands, that you
shall be free.
You must now do your part. We have the arms
here for you. lam authorized immediately to
muster in for the war companies and regiments
the companies*of one hundred men each; the
regiments of ten companies. Come, all who wish
to strike for their liberties and their homes. Let
each man provide himself with a stout pair of
shoes, a good blanket, and a tin cup. Jackson’s
men have no baggage. i*
Officers are in Frederick to receive recruits, and
all companies formed will be armed as soon as
mustered in. Rise at once!
Remember the cells of Fort McHenry! Remem
ber the dungeons of Fort Lafayette and Fort War
ren, the insults to your wives and daughters, the
arrests, the midnight searches of your bouses!
Remember these, your wrongs, and rise at once
in arms and strike for liberty and right.
Bradley T. Johnson, Col. C. S. A.
September Bth, 1862.
We clip the following paragraphs from
the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Rebel, ot Sept. 17th:
Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson.—We had the plea
sore of meeting with ibis distinguished gentle
man yesterday, on his way home, from which
he was driven, a few weeks since, by that des
picable tyrant and arrant coward, James H.
Negley, Brigadier General 0. S. forces, at Co
lumbia. We congratulate Mr. Nicholson on his
speedy return to nis home. It will always be a
proud reflection on him that he could neither
be persuaded nor forced to abandon his princi
ples, but was willing and ready to manifest
his devotion to the South at any sacrifice.
We will here take occasion to mention that Mr.
Nicholson has three sons in the Confederate ser
vice, the youngest of whom is not more than
sixteen years of age. This is emphatically a
Southern Rights family.
Latest from Nashville.—A courier, we learn,
arrived from within a few miles of Nashville this
morning, and brings tbe news that the city is
completely invested by our guerillas, who are in all
the roads. Forrest's force has been increased to
six thousand by tbe citizens, old men and boys
joining him Buell cannot pul out any pickets,
more than two miles from the city; if he does
they are shot. All communication is, we infer,
cut off between Buell and his Government. What
he intends to do is yet a matter of doubt. Some
think be intends to retreat down the Tennessee
river, if he can. Where Gen. Bragg’s army is we
are not informed, but we feel satisfied ii is in the
right place. _
jy No new cases ot yellow fever have been
reported to-day. There seem to be no indications
of the disease spreading itself, and there is no
ground for fright or panic. All the excitement
will pass awav in a few days.

LETTER IRON RICHMOND-
Special Correspondence of the ConstituHoftan' 1 '
Richmond, Ya., Sept. 18,
Mr. Editor : Seeing unfavorable criticieme 10
some of the Georgia papers upon the resolutiPO*
of our Senator, Dr. Lewis, lately offered in tiM
Senate, which criticisms were evidently founded
upon the title some of the papers in this city
gave them, I have looked up tbe resolutions,
and now send you a copy, that you may publish
them if you think proper, as an act of justice to
Dr. Lewis. He offered them with a motion to re
fer them to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
They were referred without opposition. This was
the motion agreed to. Yesterday, in the House,
the vote on Smith’s amendment to the new Con
scription bill—substituting a call on the Govern
ors of the States for forces to fill up tbe present
broken regiments, was a close one. The vote
was 41 to 41 —a tie, which was equivalent to a re
jection of the substitute. The ayes and noes are
not given, but it shows a considerable revolution
in that body on the constitutional question in
volved. Two weeks ago, it was thought direct
Conscription would pass the House by a vote of
two to one. In the Senate, it passed with but two
votes in the negative. But no discussion had
then taken place. This has all been on the ex
emption bill. Georgia.
P. S.—The “Pone aerinorum" in the Senate has
just been gotten over by a withdrawal of the
motion to include Justices of tbe Peace—and the
substitution for the motion of one to “include all
State officers liable by State 1 w to military du
ty;’’ all such, if the bill as it now stands shall
pass, will be liable to Conscription.
The following are the resolutions referred to
above:
THE OBJECT OF THE PRESENT WAR.
Mr. Lewis, of Georgia, submitted the following,
which was agreed to :
The Congress of the Confederate States resolve
beieby to make,not only to our enemies with whom
we are engaged in deadly strife, but also to the
balance of the civilized world, the following
solemn declarations;
And first, our separation as States from our
former connexion with the Government of the
United States was for tbe purpose of securing to
ourselves and to our posterity the privilege of
self-government, avd with it our independence. *
Our confederating together as States was for
our mutual protection. We have not desired war;
we did not seek it; hence we exhausted all hon
orable means to avoid it; we utterly disclaim all
lust for conquest, and if, in tbe further prosecuo
tion of this terrible war, we should be urged into
any course having the appearance of such desire,
our only aim at the same time will be to drive
back the invader and to conquer an honorable
peace.
War is a terrible arbitrament; this we feel.
Our sacrifices have already been great, and our
woes only tolerable as necessities in obtaining a
great good. Our young men have sickened*and
died in camp, and have been slain in battle. We
mourn, deeply mourn, their loss. All of our
other sufferings are as nothing when compared to
the loss of our loved and gallant sons.
We frankly make these declarations for cur
selves and for our people; and with equal candor
we declare our purpose to continue our sacrifices,
however great, until our independence and con
stitutional liberty are established, as an act of
high and patriotic duty. These are our objects,
and, with the blessing of Providence, we intend
to secure them at any and every cost Neither a
union with the slayers of our sons, nor a subju
gation by them, can occur until after our arms
are so palsied that we can strike no more. We
say not this in tbe spirit of proud boasting. We
trust that our recent brilliant victories have pro
duced in us a spirit of humble thankfulness, and
,we avail ourselves of the hour of onr success to
say, lastly, both to our enemies and to the world:
that we desire an honorable peace, which, if it
cannot be gained in any other way,we shall hope,
relying on Omnipotent guidance' and protection,
to gain through tbe instrumentality of tbe
sword.
We cannot make an offer of peace. Our self
respect will not allow it, after all that has passed ;
but think that humanity itself, not only author
izes, but claims at our hands these solemn
avowals.

LATER FROM KENTUCKY.
From the Atlanta (G-a.) Intelligencer, Sept. 20.
Through the courtesy of a friend we have had
the privilege of reading a letter from Lexington.
Kentucky, bearing date Sept. 7th. From it we.
make the following interesting extracts:
“We have been suffering much from the pres
sure o f the Lincoln army here. They took a tine
mare from me, a field of oats, all my fruit, and of
the other products of tuv place, paying me net
one cent for anything. lam satisfied, however,
aa it is. I escaped imprisonment and have taken
no oaths,”
***** ~ * - *
“We are confident now that Cincinnati and
Louisville will be promptly taken by the Cons
federates, and that the Ohio will be a permanent
line of defence. Do not be surprised to hear that
tbe Capitals of Onio and Indiana sui render to the
Confederate armies soon.”
To the same gentleman we are also indebted
for a copy of the Lexington Statesman of the 6th.
It is fu|l of interesting news and we use its
columns fieely. . . '
The Statesman was suspended nearly a year
ago, and has been revived the moment freedom
of speech was secured to it by the expulsion of
the Yankees from that garden spot of the world.
Its chief editor. Major Thomas B. Monroe, Jr.,
fell gallantly leading the Fourth Kentucky Begin
ment in a charge at Shiloh.
At Lexingtoa, and throughout all the “Blue
Grass Region,” volunteering was the order of the
day* Such eagerness to take up arms and such
enthusiasm have been exhibited in no portion of
the South. Several full regiments had already
been fully organized, and some ten or twelve
others were filling up with a rapidity nevsr
equalled on the continent.
Mt. Sterling and Maysville were both surren*
1 dered to the Confederates without the firing of a
f £ un '
Gen. Smith has issued an order directing that
oaths of allegiance which have been coerced from
: the citizens of Kentucky by the Lincolnites,
1 should not be respected, as they are binding
I neither in law or conscience.
' On arriving at Lexington, Col. John H Morgan*
and Gen. Buford, of Woodford county, Ky.,
1 (who had been commissioned a Brigadier General
! by General Kirby Smith,) issued stirring procla
mations to the people.
JOHN MOBGAN SUBBOUNDED.
The Statesman gets off the following:
Brigadier-General John H. Morgan, at the bead
of bis invincible cavalry brigade, entered this city
on Thursday last. His reception by tbe people
among whom he was born and reared, was boun
lessly enthusiastic. The whole people turned out,
and for once in his career, his two thousand men
were completely surrounded. The streets were
so thronged that tbe columns could scarely pass,
and the demonstrations were overpowering.
Tbe following items and the succeeding extracts
from the same paper giving tbe particulars of
the capture of Lexington and Frankfort, and the
statements indicating the feeling of the people of
Kentucky, will be read with keen interest:
Brig. Gen. Manson (Federal) was among the
prisoners taken at the battle of Richmond, Ky.,
on Saturday last. It will be remembered that
last year the gallant Col. Pegram (Confederate)
was taken prisoner by this same Gen. Manson at
the battle of Rich Mountain, Va. Col. Pegram,
Acting Brigadier, on Saturdry, had the pleasure
of settling the old account with his former caps
tor.
A WILLING CAPTIVE.
Among the many prisoners taken by the Con
federates here, not a few seem Happy to return
to their homes on parole. An amusing instance
is related as follows: A Confederate soldier, ex
hausted, laid down by the road side to rest, and
tailing asleep was left some distance behind tbe
army. When he awoke, he found a “Yankee”
soldier sitting by bis side fanning off the flies,
and patiently waiting to be taken prisoner. Os
course be was accommodated.
Here follows an extract from the Statesman
showing that Kentucky is for the South, and that
her brave sons are rallying around the Southern
standard. The particulars of Gen. Smith’s march
to Lexington are also given ; but with these our
readers are already familiar, and we need not,
therefore, repeat them here. The Statesman then
gives tbe following particulars of the surrender
of Frankfort : >
Frankpobt Subbendered.— Cavalry
Brigade entered and occupied Frankfort on
Wednesday moruvng, taking possession of the
Arsenal and the remnant of the army stores, Ac.,
left by tbe retreating Federals. Judge Lindsay
was appointed Provost Marshal, and a small de
tachment was left to execute his orders, when Col.
Scott renewed his pursuit of the flying foe. On
Thursday morning he sent buck to Frankfort
about 300 mules and horses, and a few prisons
era, captured near Hardinsville. It was rumored
in Frankfort that the Federal rear guard, cons
sisting ot Jacob’s Cavalry and an Ohio regi -
ment had been overtaken and captured near
Shelbyville. If this should prove true, we may ex
pect to hear the entire train of wagons, contain
ing a vast quantity of ammunition and other
valuable military property, has fallen into the
hands of the indomitable Scott.
Gov. Robinson and all other State officers, the
members of the Legislature, and many citizens,
left Frankfort for Louisville about midnight on
Sunday last by special train.
The enthusiasm of the Southern Rights people
of Frankfort is unbounded, and we understand
four companies of volunteers have already been
raised. The most perfect order prevails in that
city, and good feeling, so long absent, will soon
be restored among its citizens.
Since tbe above was in type, we have received
tbe Yeoman, ot Thursday, from which we take
the following:
’ EVENTS AT FRANKFORT.
On Sunday night, about 1 o’clock, the State
Legislature, the Governor, Secretary of State,
and several of tbe headsof departments, suddenly
left Frankfort on the cars for Louisville, under
resolution of the Legislature to remove the seat of
Government temporarily to a place of sa.ety from
the advancing and victorious Confederates. The
Legislature is now in session at Louisville, hold
ing its meetings in the Court House there. The
principal books and records of the different de<
partmentfc were taken off with them.
Ou Monday evening the Federal army com
menced moving through this place in its rapid
retreat towards Louisville. Monday night Gen.
Wright and staff, and Gen. Clay Smith and staff,
passed through here on a special train, with
‘storesand artillery from Lexington. All day Tues
day and Tuesday night, up to daylight Wednes
day morning, wagons without number, infan
try, artillery and cavalry, poured promiscuously
and disorderly through our streets in hasty re
treat from the Confederates. There were from
seven to ten thousand men, and some five or six
hundred wagons, under Gens. Gilbert and Jack
son, m this retreat. A small portion of their
stores were destroyed at Frankfort.
On Wednesday morning, the heretofore throng
ed streets were emptied, and the 'own was quiet
and still as ever it has been in times of peace on
a Sabbath morn. Frankfort being deserted by
all the civil and military authorities of tbe State,
and Federal and City Governments, quietly sur
rendered to the flag of truce brought by Major
Harper and Adjutant Fox, of tbe advance guard
of Colonel Scott’s cavalry of tbe Confederate
army, which arrived about 11 o’clock on Wednes
day forenoon. In an hour afterward, Scott’s
brigade of cavalry, in force, drew up in .front of
the capitol, a«d planted its battle flag on the
dome of tbe State J<onse, where it etill flies as an
emblem of Conf«der»»’ e «upretnacy in the capital
of Kentucky.
Gieat curiosity is manifested on the pari ot ouf
cit Zena to see, as is tbe case in most instances
for tbe first time, a body of Confederate soldier?
and to-day our streets are crowded with fnen and
women from the country, most of whom are
mani'esting, in a temperate manner, however, a
decided partiality for the Southern colors. Os
course it would not be prudent for us to attempt
to publish information of the strength er in
tended movements-, of tbe Confederates, even if
we had such information. But we discover that
the Confederates keep their own counsels on these
points, and we are in the dark. Their forces are
ae hardy, tough, and Well drilled a set of dare
devils as ever served in war, if we jndge by ap«
pearances. Ou taking possession, the officers in
command assured the people that no citizen was
to be disturbed in person or property; and, so far,
we believe, we can say that they have faithfully
eorried »ut their promises, and we feel certain that
th* will do it to the end.

HOW GARIBALDI REACH rD CATANIA.
Letters from Italy explain bow Garibaldi was
able to reach Catania. The Italian Government
bad yielded to tbe entreaties of Garibaldi’s friends,
who were anxious to find a means of conciliation.
Conferences took place between the chiefs of the
volunteers and Admiral Albini, which continued
until tbe 17th, without leading to any result.
On tbe other hand. General Melia, who com*
manded tbe forces assembled at Catania, received
orders to effect a junction with the troops of Gen.
Ricotti, who wished to cut off a corps under the
orders of Menotti. Garibaldi, on being informed
that Melia had left Catania, made a rapid turn to
tbe right and presented himself before the town.
The royal authorities, not having any means of
resistance, left the place, and the National Guard
and tbe inhabitants gave the General an enthusi*
astic reception.
HOW GABIBALBI EQUIPPED HIS FORCES.
The “Official Gazette” of Turin has the follows
ing from Caltanisetta:
“During Garibaldi’s stay here, on the 10th, he
took possession of all the military accoutrements
contained in the Government storehouse—2s7
cloaks, 265 pair trousers, 44 of shoes, 310 forag
ing caps, 200 partridge boxes, 6 drums, 6 bu
gles, 6 boxes of cartridges, 22 muskets, besides
drawers, shirts, black stocks, kettfes, Ac., in
short, all there was to the amount of 14,000 f. In
the letter by which he summoned the Deputy
Inspector of the garrison to give up these articles,
be said that knowing there were in the store*
houses military accoutrements belonging to the
Southern army he demanded them, taking the
responsibility upon himself.
“The Deputy Inspector replied m writing with
a refusal, unless a precise order from his supe
riors was produced; but Garibaldi sent him back
with his own letter, with the following words
written on the margin;—The articles demanded
are necessary to me, and, therefore, they must
be delivered to me at any cost.’ On receiving
the intimation, tbe Deputy Inspector called on
Garibaldi, and declared that, in delivering up
the articles, he was acting under compulsion
against which he solemnly protested. A paper
was then drawn up and signed both by Garibaldi
and the Deputy Inspector in which it was ex*
plicitly stated that the first application had been
refused; that Garibaldi bad insisted upon the
delivery, and that the latter had been effected
under the pressure of’force.” *
NAPOLBON AND GABIBALDI.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times, in a letter to that paper, says:
Much has been said about Garibaldi’s attacks
upon the Emperor, and his betrayal of Jjis Mai>
jesty’s friendship. But the fact is, Garibaldi’s
relations with the Emperor have never been those
of a friend; and as for any private intimacy, they
never met but once, and that was under the fol*
lowing circumstances: Just at the commencement
of the Italian campaign, three years ago, and at
the moment the Emperor was executing the flank
movement to the North, in order to cross the
Ticino at Magenta, Garibaldi came down from
Veresa to tee Victor Emanuel, to obtain permis
sion to carry his army rapidly forward to Cotnot
but tbe enemy had then assumed chief commanik
of the allied army, and the King was obliged to
refer Garibaldi to the Emperor. Garibaldi, there
fore, went to see Napoleon at Mortara. They
talked over the plan of the campaign; his part
of tbe work was indicated to him by the Em*
peror, and they parted for tbe first and last time.
