In 1854 he visited England, and was presented with a sword of honor by the citizens of Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Garman's Mills, in Pennsylvania , a post-office of Cambria co. ce ion of Lombardy and Venetia to Italy, G. organized a volunteer force of 17,000 men, called the Cacciatori dell ' Alpi ("Cha eurs of the Alps"), with which he coöperated with the regular army of his countrymen, forming its flying column of tirailleurs. At the head of this force, G. fought in the battles of Varese, Camer- lato, Como, Brescia, Magenta, Montebello, Solferino, . Next year (1860), G. fitted out a small expedition, with funds subscribed by his English admirers, and landing at Marsala, Sicily, in May, took Palermo, and after sev- eral engagements with the Neapolitan troops drove them out of the island. Following up his succe , with a largely increased force, Gen. G. marched on to Gaëta, meeting there Victor Emanuel, whom he saluted as "King of Italy," and with him entered Naples in tri- umph. After the fall of Gaëta and Capua, and the full accomplishment of his great design in uniting Italy under one constitutional monarch, Gen. G. , refusing all honors and rewards, and poor as when he set out, re- turned to his humble island-home at Caprera. His insu- lar retirement was not, however, of long duration. In 1862 he published at Palermo an inflammatory addre to the Hungarian people, inciting them to revolt; Gen. Klapka, and others of his judicious friends, endeavored, but without succe , to restrain him from what they well deemed to be a Quixotic enterprise. In August of that year, Gen G., at the head of a body of volunteers (including a number of enthusiastic English men), cro ed in two French steamers from Catania to Melita, a small port on the Cal a brian coast. They were fol- lowed by a strong body of the royal troops under Col. Palla vic in i, and were attacked on the mountain plateau of As pro monte, when they surrendered, G. himself being severely wounded by a rifle-bullet in the ankle. He was conveyed to Spezia, where the bullet was ex- tracted. The wound, however, continued a source of pain- ful annoyance. Though guilty of de facto treason, he was pardoned by the king on account of his eminent ser- vices in the cause of Italian independence in 1860, and returned to Caprera. In 1864, Gen. G. visited London, where he received an ovation from the people which al- most amounted to delirium. During the Austro-Pru ian campaign of 1866, G. again took the field, was engaged in operations in the Tyrol, sustained a severe repulse from the Austrians, July 22, and retired upon the Soro. This reverse he retrieved next day, and was preparing to ad- vance when the war was brought to a close. In 1867, a body of Italian volunteers, under G.'s command, set out on an expedition to effect the liberation of Rome, were defeated by the combined forces of the French and Pa- pal troops at Mentana, Nov. 3.
