_.._._._.

low I first became acquainted with
my Wife.

Nearly a dozen years ago I was on
my return to the old homestead, in the
good State of Connecticut, having just
completed my studies as a student of
medicine. In company with a goodly
number of people, I stopped for the
night at a country inn in the town of
B--—-, not being able to resume my
journey till a late hour on the following
day. Having always been an admirer
of the country, I was not at all dissatis-
icdwith -the arrangements, and my
pleasure was further enhanced by finding
at the well laid supportable two young
ladies of surpassing loveliness, the youn-
ger of whom I thought the most be-
witching little creature in existence.

The ladies were accompanied by a
young gentleman about my own age,
with whom I could not but feel exceed-
ingly annoyed. He not only engrossed
all their attention, but, lucky dog as be
was, seemed determined that no other
person should participate in the amuse-
ment. An oler of some little delicacy
by myself to the younger of the two
ladies, was met by an icy sort of po-
liteness on his part, that clectually chil-
led any further attempts at intimacy.-
I soon left the table, but I could not
drive the image. of this lovely being we
had just left, from my mind. Something
whispered me that we should become
acquainted at some future time, but in
the interim I felt more than unusually
uneasy. I longed to be not only an inti-
mate acquaintance, but an accepted lov-
er, and had I been possessed of all the
wealth of Crocus, I would have unheal-
tatiugly poured it in her lap. ,

In the excitement under which I was
then laboring,-Ithougbt a walk might
do me good, but on opening the door for
that purpose, I-found the night had set
in dark as Erebus, and being an entire
stronger, there was no knowing what
mischief Insight‘ encounter, so I made
up my mind to compromise the matter
by taking my candle and going to bed.

I retired, but -for a long time I rolled
and tossed about sadly; now one plan
by which I might make the scquaiu
tance of the young lady would suggest
itself, and then another, until at lastl
found myself in a state of dreamy lan-
guor neither fast asleep or quite awake.
I fancied I had heard for the last few
moments a sort of light bustle going on
near my bed, but it gave me no un-
easiness, until suddenly some one sprang
into the bed and clasping her arm about
me, whispored—

" Ugh ! how dreadful cold it is, to be
sure! I say, Julia, we shall have to lay
spoon fashion, or else we shall freeze.”
Here was an incident. What to any
or how to act, was a question not easily
solved. At last I mustered courage
enough to ejaculate-

" Dear madam, here is some mistake,
It"___n

The lady did not wait for me to say
more. With a sharp quick scream she
sprang from the bed and bolted from the

the deuce it could all mean, when a ser-
vant brought a limp into my room,
picked up what ladies’ apparel she could
find about the premises, and left the
apartment. _You can well believe, gen-
tlemen, that my slumbcrc that evening
were far from quiet.

,In the morning, I know not how it
was, but I was vividly impressed with
the idea that my nocturnal visitor was

_ one of the two ladies who had cupped

with me the evening previous, but
which I could not conjecture. I was re-
solved however. to ascertain, on the first
favorable opportunity which might pre-
sent‘ itself, and satisfy myself beyond
doubt.

Oatakiug my seat at the breakfast
table on the next morning, I placed my-

self opposite the ladies, and was revol-

ving in my mind the incident of the pre-
vious evening, when the yonngerof the

‘two passed her plate, and begged me to

favor her with the preserves near me.

came into my mind that she might be

"Because it's fun to see her spunk up,”
replied the hopeful Benedict; “I like to

cbceke grow red as my damask rose. It's
quite tragic the way she puts her little

fierce little head, or with what a Dido

The Day B¢fore the Battle.

BANKS or run Amu, Sept. 19.

Last night orders were given by Lord
Raglan that the troops should strike
tents, at daybreak and that all tents
should be sent on board the ships of the
fleet. Our advance had been determined
upon, and it was understood that the
Russian light cavalry had been sweep-
ing the country of all supplies up to
a short distance oi our lines and out-
lying pickets. At 3 o'clock in the mor-
ning the camp was roused by the revel!-
lie, and all the 80,000 sleepers woke in-
to active life. The boats from the ships
Imed the beach to receive the tentc.---
The commissariat officcrs struggled in
vain for the very deficient means at their
disposal to meet the enormous re-
quirements of an army of 26,000 men
for the transport of baggage, ammu-
nition and food, and a scene which to
an unpraciiccd eye would seem one of
utter confusion began and continued for
several hours, relieved only by the stea-
diness and order of the regiments as
they paraded previous to marching.
The French, in advance on our right,
were up bctimes, and the camp fires of
the allied armies, extending for miles
along the horizon and mingling with the
lights of the ships, almost anticipated
the morning. 7000 Turkish infantry,
under Suleiman Pasha, moved along by
by the sea-side ; next to them came the
divisions of Generals Bosquct, Canto-
bcrt, Forey, and Prince Napoleon. Our
order of match was about four miles to
me right of their left wing, and as many
behind them. The right of the allied
forces was covered by the fleet, which
moved along with it in magnificent order
darkening the air with innumerable co!-
umns of smoke, ready to shell the cue-
should they threaten. to attack our right,
and commanding the land for nearly two
miles from the shore.

It was 9 o'clock in the morning ere
the whole of our army was prepared for
marching. The day was warm, and
our advance was delayed by the wretch-
ed transport furuiehed for the baggage-
an evil which will, I fear, be more se-
verely felt in any protracted operations.
Everything not absolutely indispensable
was sent on board ship. The naval oili-
cers and the sailors worked indefatigaoly
and cleared the beach as fast as the men
deposited their baggage and tents there.
At last the men fell in, and the march of
the campaign began. The country be-
yond the salt lake, near which we were
encamped, is perfectly destitute of tree
or shrub. and consists of wide plains,
and long irregular ridges of hills run-
ning dowards the sea at right angles to
the beach. Hares were started in abun-
dance, and afforded great sport to the
men whenever they halted. and 8eV9l'R1
were fairly hunted down among the lines
of men. All oxen, horses or cattle had
been driven off by the Cossacks-—
The soil is hard and elastic, and
was in excellent order for artillery.

Aftera march of an hour a halt took
place for 50 minutes, during which Lord
Raglan, accompanied by a large staff,
Marshals St. Armand, Generals Bosquet,
Forcy, and a number of French officers,
rode along the front of the columns.-
'l‘hc men spontaneously got up from the
ground, rushed forward, and column af-
ter column rent the air with three thun-
dering English cheers. It was a good
omen. As the Marshal passed the 55th
regiment, he exclaimed, “ English, I
hope you will fight well to-day!”-
“ Hope !” exclaimed a voice from the
ranks, “sure you know we will." The
troops presented anplendid -appearance.
The effect of these grand masses of col-

diery descending the ridges of the hills,
rank after rank, with the sun playing
over forests of glittering steel, can nev-
er be forgotlen by those who have wit-
nessed it. It was a and sight to see the
white walls of the houses blackened
with smoke, the flames ascending thro’
the roofs of peaceful homastcade, and
the ruined outlines of deserted hamlets.
Many sick men fell out and were carried
to the rear. It was a painful cight——n
and contrast to the magnificent appear-
ance of the army in front to behold lit-
tcr nfter litter borne past to the carts,
with thepoor sufierere who had dropped
from illness and fatigue.

Presently, from the top of a bill, a
wide plain was visible, beyond which
rose a ridge darkened here and there by
masses which the practiced eye recogni-
zed ns cavalry. On the left of thoplnin
up in a recess formed by the inward
sweep of the two ridges, lay a large vil-
lage in flames; right before us was a
neat white house unburnt, though the
outhoucec and farm-yard were burning.
Thll. was the Imperial poet-house of
Bouljanek, just 20 miles from Sebasto-
pol. A sm_al stream ran past us, which
was an object of delight to our thirsty
soldiers, who had now mu-chad more
the"; '8 miles from their camp. The
houeewae deserted end, gutted—only a
picture of a saint, bunches of herbs in
the kitchen, and a few household» uten-
sils were; left, and a solitary peahcn,
which fell a victim to a revolver, stalked
sadly soon‘: the threshold. After a halt
for men’snd horses by the‘ stream, the
army pushed on again.

The cavalry ( about 500 men of the
8th‘Husssi-s, the 11th Hussnrs, and 13th
Light Dragoons) pushed on in front, and
on arriving about a mile beyond the post
house we clearly made out the Cossack
Lancers on the _lii!ls‘iu from. Lord Car-
digan threw o'l1'lԤliirmishers in line, who
covered the front at intervals of 10 or 12
yards from each other. The Cossacks
advanced to meet us in like order, man
for man, the steel of their long lnnces
glittering in the sun. They were rough
looking fellows, mounted on sturdy little
horses, but the regularity of their order
and the oelerity of their move2nonta,show-
ed they were regulars, and by no means
despicable foes. As our ekirmishers ad-
vanced the Cossacks halted at the foot of
=the hill. '1‘heir reserves were not well
in sight, but from time to time a clump
of lances rose over the summit of the
hill and disappeared.

Lord Cardigan was eager to try their
strength, and permission was given to
him to advance somewhat nearer; but
as he did so, dark columns of cavalry
came into view in the recesses of the
hills, and it became evident that if our
men charged up such a steep ascent
their horses would be blown, and that
they would run a risk of being surroun-
ded and cut to pieces by a force of three
times their number. Lord Lucan there-
fore ordered the cavalry to halt,_, gather
in their ekirmishers and retire s!owly.—-
None of the infantry or’, artillery were
in sight of us," as they had not yet topped
the brow of ,thé‘h'll. ,Whcn_"our ékir-

conic‘ n'b'§?“lauougi1 to let the whiz be
heard. Two or three officers who were
riding between the cavalry and the skir-
miehere, Lieut. C313; Diclf ‘n, R. A..
Captain Fellowee, 12th Lincere, Dr. E!-
liott, R. A., were looking" out anxiously
for the arrival of Capt... Maude’e horse
artillery, when suddenly the Russians,
emboldened by our hair, came over the
brow of the hill, and slowly descended
the slope in three solid squares.

We had offered them battle, and they
had lost their chance, for ourcavalry now
turned round and rode quietly towards
the troops. Our skirmishers, who had
replied smartly to the fire of the Cossacks
but without effect, retired and joined
their squadrons. At every 50 paces our
cavalry faced about to receive the Cos-
sacks, if they prepared to charge. Sud-
denly one of the Russian cavalry squares
opened-n spiritoi white smoke rose out
of the gap, and a round shot, which pit.
chad close to my horsc,tore over the col-
umn of our cavalry behind, and rolled
away between the ranks of the rifiemen
in the rear, just as they came in view of
the cavalry. In another iustantn second
gun bowled right through the ma
Hussars, and knocked ever a horse, ta-
king off his ridcr’s leg above the ankle.
Another and another followed, tearing
through our ranks, so that it was quite
wonderful so few of the cavalry were hit.

Meantime Captain Maude’s artillery
galloped over the hillock, but were halt-
ed by Lord Rag!an'e orderat the base,
in rear of the cavalry on the left flank.
This was done probably to entice the
Russians further down the hill. Mean-
time onr cavalry were drawn up as tar-
gets for the enemy’s guns, and had they
been of iron they could not have been
more solid and immovable. The Rus-
sian gunners fired admirably; they were
rather slow, but their balls came bound-
ing along quite visible as they passed, in
right lines from the centre of the cavalry
columns. After some 30 rounds from
the enemy our artillery opened fire..-
Their round shot ploughed up the co!-
umns of the cavalry, who bpeedily (lil-
perscd into broken lines, wheeling round
and round with great udroitncss to es-
cspe the six and nine pound balls. Our
shells were not so successful, but one,
better directed than the rest, burst right
in the centre of :1 column of light infant-
ry whom the Russians had advanced to
support their cavalry.

Our fire was so hot, the service of the
guns so quick, that the enemy retired in
about fifteen minutes after we opened
'them. While ths affair was going on
{the French had crept up on the right,
and surprised a body of Russian cavalry
with a round from a battery of nine.
pounders, which scattered them in all
directions. We could count six dead
1101595 011 the field near the line of fire.
It is not possible to form an accurate no-
tion of the effect of our fire, but it must
have caused the Russian a greater loss
than they inflicted on us. We lost six
horses, and four men were wounded.—
Two men lost their legs. The others, up
to ‘yesterday, though injured severe-
ly, were not in danger. One of the
wounded men, a sergeant in the 11th
Huasnrs rode coolly to the rear with his
foot dangling by a piece of skin to the

bone, and told the doctor he had just
come to have his leg dressed. Another
wounded trooper behaved with equal
fortitude, and refused the use of a litter to
carry him to the not though his leg was
broken into splinters.

It was strange, in g-visiting the scene
where the horses lay dead, that the first
feeling produced on the spectator, when
the horror of seeing the poor animals
ripped open by shells from chest to loin,
as though it were done by a surgeon’-
knife, had subsided, was that Sir E. Land-
seer, in his picture of "War,” must have
seen one of the animals before uc—the
glaring eye-ball, the distended nostril,
the gnashed teeth, are all true to life.-
When the Russians had retired beyond
the heights, orders were given to belt
and bivonac for the night, and our tired
men set to work to gather the weeds for
fuel. As soon as the rations of rum and
meat were served out, the cask: were
broken up, and the ataves served to make
fires for cooking, aided by nettle: and
long grass. At night the watcbfiree of
the Russians were visible on our left.--
Great numbers of stragglors came up du-
ring the night, most of them belonging
to the 4th division. The night was cold.
and damp, the watcbfiree mere flashes,
which gave little heat, and barely suf-
ficcd to warm the rations.

All night crabs were arriving, and col-
diers who had fallen out or got astray.
came up to the rennin to find their regi-
ments, Sir George Brown, Sir D. Evans
the Brigadier Generals and stall‘ oificers
went among their divisions and brigades
are the men lay down, giving directions
for the following day, and soon after dusk
the regiments were on the ground, wrap-
ped up in great-coats and blankets to
find the best repose they could after the
day's exertions. It was much regretted
that our cavalry force was so miserably
deficient, for if we had been even two to
three we could readily have disposed of
the vsporing Lancers on the hill, who
had irritated the men very much by their
derisive cries when our skirmiehers reti-
red.

 

The Day of the Battle.

Cane yr Amu, September 20.
st 1: or at e ~

It was said the Russians had 100 guns
on the hills, and 40,000 men, 40 battal-
ions of infantry, 1,000 strong each, of
the 16th, 31st, 22d and 38d regiments.)
Wife were opposed principally to 16th and
33d regiments, judging by the number of
the dead in front of us. I have not been
able to ascertain by whom they were
commanded, the army in chief, that the
left was under Gortchukofi", a relative of
the diplomatist, that the right was under
Bodrhofi‘, the military Governor of Se-,
bastopol. Large masses of cavalry, prin-
cipally lancer: and heavy dragoons, ma-
mcuvred on the hills on the right of the
Russians, and at last descended the hills
crossed the stream, and threatened our
left and rear.

As we came near the river our left
wing was thrown back in order to sup-
port our small force of cavalry, and a por-
tion of our artillery was pushed forward
in the same direction. Our danger in
this respect was detected by the quick
eye of Sir George Brown, and I heard
him give the order for the movement of
the artillery almost as soon as he caught
sight of the enemy's cavalry, and just as
we were coming to the village. As I
have already said, our plan of operations
was that the French should establish
themselves under the fire of the guns on
the heights on the extreme of the enemy’:
left.

When that attack was eufliciently de-
veloped and had met with success, the
British army was to force the right and
part of the centre of the Russian position
and the day was gained. When we
were about three miles from the village,
the French steamers ran in as close as
they could to the mud’ of the shore, at ’
the south side of the Aims, and presently
we saw them shelling the heights in a
splendid style, the shells bursting over
the enemy's squares and batteries, and
finally driving them from their position
on the right, within 3000 yards of the sea.

The French practice commenced about
half-past twelve o'clock, and-lasted for
about an hour a half. We could see the
shells falling over the batteries of the en-
emy, and bursting right into them; and
then the black masses inside the works
broke into little specks which flew about
in all directions, and when the smoke
cleared away there were some to be seen
strewcd over the ground. The Russians
answered the ships from the heights, but
without effect. fl

A powder trumbi! was blown up by a
French shell; another shell fell by acci-
dent into an ambuscado which the Rue-
sians had prepared for the advancing
French, and at last they drew oil‘ from
the sea-side, and confined their efforts to
the defence of the gullies and heights be-
yond the fire of the heavy guns of the
steamers. At one o’clock we saw the
French columns struggling up the bills
covered by a cloud of Skirmiehcrs, whose
fire seemed most deadly.

Once, at sight of a threatening mass of
Russian infantry, in a commanding posi-
tion above them, who fired rapid volleys
among them, the French paused, but it
was only to collect their skirmishers, for
as soon as they had formed they ran up
the hill at the pas de charge, and atonce
broke up the Russians, who fled in disor-
der, with loss, up the hill. VVe could
see men dropping on both sides, and the
wounded rolling down the steep. At
I.50 our line of skirmishers got within
raugelof the battery on the hill, and im-

mediately the Russians opened fire at
1200 yards with effect, the shot plough-
ing through the open lines of the rifle-
men and falling‘ into the advancing co!-
umu behind.

Shortly before this time dense volumes
of smoke rose from the river and drifted
along to the eastward, rather interfering
with the vic.v of the enemy on the left.
of our position. The Russians had set
the village on fire. It was a fair exer-
cise of military skill, was well executed,
took place at the right timc,succecded and
in occasxoniag a good deal of annoyance.
Our troops halted when they neared this
village, their left extending beyond it by
the verge of the stream ; our right be-
hind the burning cottages, and within
range of the batteries. It is said the
Russians had taken the range of all the

t. it:-fistablisljth in 1800.

The Russians opened a furious fireon
the whole of our line, but the French had

not yet made progress enough to justify

us in advancing. The round shot whin-

zed in every direction, dashing up thy

dirt and sand into the faces of the-stafi‘
of Lord Raglan, who were also shol_le_d

severely, and attracted much of the one-

mY'I firs. Still Lord Raglan waited pn-

tiently for the development of the French

attack. At length an aid-de-camp came

to him and Reported that the French had

crossed the Alma, but they had no: es.

labliebcd themselves sufficiently to jug’-

tify us in an attack. '

The infantry were therefore ordered to
lie down, and the army for s. short ‘time
was quite passive, only that our artillery
poured forth an unceasing fire of shell,
rockets and round" "shot, which ploughed
through the Russians. and caused them
great loss They did not waver, howev.
er, and replied to our artillery manfully,
their shot falling among our men mu"sy'
lay, and carrying ofi‘ legs and arms at ev-
ery round.‘ Lord Raglan at last became
weary of this inactivit.y—his‘ spirit was
up-he looked around, and saw mcnen
whom he knew he might stake the hon-
or and fate of Great Britain by his side
and, anticipating a little, in a‘ military
point of view, the crisis of action, he
gave ordered for our whole line to advnnod

’ Up rose’ those eerried masses, and P“.
sing through I fearful shower of round,
ease shot, and shell, they dashed into the
Alma, and “floundered” through its wa-
ters, which were literally torn into foam
by the deadly hail, At the other side of
the river were a number of vineyards’,
and, to our surprise, they were occupied
by Bussianrifiemen,’ Three of the etnf
were shot down, but, led by Lord Begin‘:
in person, the rest advanced cheering on
the men. And now came the turning
point of the battle, in which Lord Rag.
Inn, by his sagacity and military skill,
probably secured the victory at a smaller
sacrifice than would have been otherwise
the case. He dashed over the bridge,
followed by his staff. From the road
over it, under the Russian gut.-.5, he saw
the state of the "action. '

The British line, which he had order-
ed to advance, was struggling through
the river and up the height in masses’,
firm indeed, but mowed down by aha
murderous fire of the batteries, and by
grape, round shot, shell czmister, case,
shut. and musketry, from some of the
guns of the central ba;:.s=.ry :=.n.l from an
immense and compact ma-.-s of Russian
infantry. Then commenced one ‘IV’ the
most bloody and determiuezl struggi-zsin
the annals of war. The 2.1 ill»-lei-:;., ted
by Sir D. Evans in the most 63.1-hing
manner, crossed the sire‘-‘am -3.. the right.
The 7th Fusilecrs, led Cr:-lo-:1-2‘ Yer,
were swept down by fifties.

est of the fight, cheering on ill"; mes,
again and again were cheol-dd indeed.
but never draw back in their onv-:2:-.‘l. pro-
gress, which was marked by -a fierct-; 2015.
of Minis musketry; and Brigadier Adems
with the 41st, 47-';"u and ,492i., bravely
charged up the hill, and aided them in
the battle. Sir George Brown, conspicu-
ous on a gray horse, rode in {loot of his
Light Division, urging them with voice
and gesture. Gallant fellows? they werc
worthy of such a gallant chief. The
7th, diminished by one-half, fell back to
reform their columns, lost for ma time-;
the 23d, eight officers dead and four
wounded, were still rushing to the from,
aided by the 19th, 33d, 77i.l.l and 55th.-0
Down went Sir George in a cloud of
of dust in front of the battery. He was
soon up, and shouted, ‘<Fz.-ad, Tm all
right. Be sure, 1’!!rememher this day,"
and led them on again, but in the shock
produced by the fall of their chief aha
gallant riflemcn suffered terribly while
paralyzed for a moment. Meantime the
Guards, on the Light Division, and the
Brigade of Highlanderswere storming
the heights on the left. Their line was
almost as regular as though they were in
Hyde-perk. Suddenly a tornado of round
and grape rushed through from the terri-
riblc battery, and a roar of musketry from
behind thinned their front ranks by doa-
one.

It was evident that we were just able
to contend against the Russians, favored
as they were by a great position. At
this very time an immense mass of Rus-
sian infantry were seen moving down to-
wards the battery. They halted. It
was the crisis of the day. Sharp, angu-
lar and solid, they looked as if they ware
cut out of the solid rock. It was beyond
all doubt that if our iuiautr y, harassed and
thinned as they were, got mm the batte-
ry they would have to encounter again a
formidable fire, which they were but ill
calculated to bear. Lord Raglan saw
the difficulties of the situation. He neb-
ed if it woum be possible to get a couple
of guns to bear on these masses.

The wpjy was '-Yes,” and an artillery
ofliccr, whose name I do not know, brojt
up two guns to fire on the Russian squsrfh
The firs: shot missed, but the next, and
the next, and the next cut through the
ranks so cleanly, and so keenly, that a
clear lane could be seen for a moment
