Sugar Planter [West Baton Rouge, LA], November 24, 1860
We recently announced that among the volunteers who went out from England to join Garibaldi, was our countryman Gen. Wheat. In a letter from Gen. Avezzana to a friend in this city, dated Maildaloni, October 16, we find mention of four other Americans as being attached to his (General Avezzana’s) staff—namely, Charles Carroll Hicks, of Columbus, Ohio; Frank Maney, of Nashville, Tennessee; Henry N. Spencer, Jr., of Pennsylvania; and Alfred Benthuysen, of New Orleans, Louisiana. They all had the good fortune to be present at the battle of Caserta, and the General speaks of their conduct in the highest terms.—New York Herald, 12th.
