THE SURPRISE.
BATTLE OF THE 25th OF OCTOBER
Great Dartng of the English, &e.
ADVANCr.
At half -past 7 o'clock this morning,
Oct. 2.i. an orderly came ttalloping
into the headquarters camp from hal
iddava, with the news that a strong
curps of Russian horse, supported by
gun.. and battalions of infantry, had
marched into the valey. and 'had al
ready nearly dispossessed the Turks
the redoubt 'No. I, (that on Canrobert:s
Hill, which is the carthe , t from our
lines.) and that they were opening fire
on the redoubts NOS. 2,3, and I, which
would speedily be in their hands un
less the Turks offered a stouter resist
ance than they had dune already.
E=
Sir John Campbell, who was in
command of 'Flalaklava, had drawn up
the 93d Highlandcrs a little in front ()I'
the road to the town; - at ti,e,fint news
of the advance of the eminy. The
marines nn the bights got under arms;
the seamen's batteries and =tines'
batteries on the bights close . to the .
town, were manned, and the French
artillerymtn and the Z , ..:itaves pre
pared fir action along their lines.
Lord Lucan's little camp was the
scene of great excitement. The men
had not time to water their horses;
they/had not broken their fast since
the evening of tl:e day before, and
had barely saddled at the first blast of
the trumpet when they wore drawn
up on the slope behind the redoubts
in front of their camp to operate on
the enemy's squadrons. '
EXCITEMENT-GENERAL OFFICERS
Soon after' S o'clock, Lord Raglan
and his stall turned out and cantered
towards the rear of our position. The
booming of artillery .and spattering
roll of musketry, wero heard rising
from the valley, drowning the roar of
the sioge guns in front before Sevas
topol. As I rode in the direction of
th e firing, over thistles and large stones
which cover the undulating plain that .
stretches away towards Balaklava, on
a level with the summit of the ridges

infantry Jeginient (the 27th, I : think)
advancing with admirable care 'and
celerity from our right 'towards' the
ridge near the telegraph bouse,Which
was: already lined' by 'companies ,of
French infantry, while - mounted officers
scampered along •its broken line in
every direction.
Gen..Bosquer, .a • stout,' 'soldierlike
looking man, who reminds one'of'-ihe
old genie Af French Generals as de
picted at Versailles, folloWed with his
staff and a small escort of 1-Itiss - ars,.at
a gallop. Faint while cloud's - rose
here and there abot..e . the hill from-the
cannonade below. , Never did - the
,painter's eye rest on,amore -beantijnl
scene than I . beheld from the siege.
the' fleecy vapdrs still hung. around
the mountain topS, and mingled with
the ascending voluines . of-smoke;. the
patch of sea sparkled freshly in- the
rays of the. morning sun,. but ,its light
was : eclipsea by the "flashes which
glearned froni the 'masses of armed
men below. •
.i.w.king to the left, toward the
gorge, we beheld six compact masses
of Rust ito infantry which had .just
debauched from the mountain passes
near the Chernaps, and were slowly
advancing with solemn stateliness up
the valley. ; • Immediately in their front
was a regular line of artillery, of at
least twenty pieces - strong. Two bat
teries of light gulls were already a
mile in advance of them, and 'were
playing with energy. ou tl.c redoubts,
from which feeble puffs of smoke
came, at intervals: Behind these guns,
in front of the infantry, were enor
m.:uS bodies Of cavali y. They were
in six compact rgnares,.three on each
flank, moving down towards us, and
the val , ey was lit up with the blaze of
their sal); es and lance points, and gay
accoutrements.
IA their front, and extending.along
the intervals between each battery of
guns, were clouds of mounted tkir
unsbers. wheeling and wbirli.ig iii
front of their march like autumn leaves
tossid by the wind. The Zonarcs
close up to us were lying like tigers
at the spring, with ready rifles in hatid,
hidden chin deep by the earthworks
which run along the lines of these
ridges on our rear, but the quick-eyed
Russians were maneuvetinm on the
Other side of the valley, and did not
expose their columns to attack. Be-
Liw the Zouaves we could sec the
Turki-h gunners iu the redoubts all
in confb-ion as the. shut bur.-t over
them. Ju-tas I came tip,' the . Rus
sians had carried No. 1 redoubt, the
furthest te:d most elevated of all, and
their horst men were chasing the Turks
acres the interval which lay between
it and redoubt No. 2..
LSGLIsII CAVALRV—THE RUSSIAN SKIRMISHERS
—THE FLIGHT OF THE TURKS.
At that m met:t the cavalry, under
Lord Lucan, were formed in glittering
ma , .-es; the light brigade under Lord
Cardigan, in advance; the heavy brig
adeomder Brioadier-G eneral Scarlett,
in reserve. They were drawn up just
in front of their encampment, and
were cmicealed from the view of the
e m 1 e a slight "wave" in the plain.
Considerably to the rear of the light
the 93d Hiohlanders were drawn
up in line, in front of the approach
to Balaklava. More behind them on
the hi!-us, the marines were visinie
through the glass, drawn up under
and the gunners _could be seen
ready in the earthworks, in which
were placed the heavy ships', guns.
The 93d had originally been advanced
somewhat more into the. plain, but the
ttstant the Russians got possession, of
the first redoubt, they opened fire on
them froM our, gum - , which inflicted
some snjury, and Sir Cohn Campbell
retired" his men to a better position.
Meantime the enemy advanced his
cavalry rapidly. To our inexpreSsible
disgust, we saw the Turks in redoubt
No.. 2
. fly at their app: each. They ran
in scattered groups across towards
redoubt ?\o. Q, and toward Balaklav,
but the horse hoof of the.Cossaek'waS
too • quick for them, and - sword and
lance were lnisily plied along,, the
retreating herd.
,The yells of ,the
pursuers and the pursued were • plainly
audible. AM the lancers • and light
cavalry of the Russians advanced,
thoy gathered pp their :skirmishers
with
"great speed and in excellent
order —the shifting ".trails of men,
which played over the vallff like
moonlight on the :water, coiitracted,
gathered up, and the littlepc/oton in a
feW moments became a solid column.
Then up . 'came 'their_ guns, in rushed
thoir gunners to the abandoned re
doubt, and the guns of No. 2, redoubt
soon played with deadly effect upon
the: dispirited defenders of No. 3
doubt. Two, or three shots in ,return
from the earthivorks, and 'Allis' silent.
The Turks swarm over the earthworks
and run in confusion . towards the
firing their muskets as they run, at the

As the .R.Ussian cavalry on the left
of their line crown the hill, across the
'Valley they Perceke the Highlanders
drawn up at the distanee of sorrie'half
a mile,,cahnly-warting their approach.
They halt, and squadron after squadron
flies op from the rear, till thefhaie a
body of some . I,sOO'rnen 'along' the
idge —lancers - , -- dfagoiMS - , and hussars.
They then move en echelon, in two
bodies,- with , fitiother in reserve: 1 ; The
cavalry.:whit hate been .pursuing the
° Turks.oo th.ebright are coming up to
the ridge beneath us, which
,conceal,
otir cavalry - from view. The - heaVY
brigade in advance is drawn' up hi 'two
columns. The first column consists of
the Scots Greys:and crf their old com
panions in glory, the Enniskillens; the
second of the 4th royal, Irish, of the
sth dragoon guards, and of the Ist
royal dragoons.. • The light cavalry
brigade is oir the left, in two divisions
also. The silence is oppressive ;, be
tween the cannon-bursts one can hear
the champing of bits and the clink of
- sabre> in the valley 'below. The.Rug
sians on their left drew breath for a
-Moment, and: then in one grand line
dashed at, the flighlaaders.., The
ground flies beneath their horses' feet.
Gathering speed at every stride, they
'dash on tuward.that thin red Streak,
topped with a line of steel. The
Turks fire a volley at 800 yards, and
run. As the Russians come within
GOO yards, down goes that line of steel
in front, and out rings a rolling volley
of Millie musketry. The distance is
too great- :" The Russians are . not
checked, but 6ti 11 sweep onward.with
the whole force of horse and man,
through the smoke, here and there
- knocked over ()V the - shot of, our bat
teries above. With breathless sus
pense every one waits the bursting of
the wave upon the line of Gaelic rock ;
hut ere they come within 150 .yards,
another deadly volley flashes from the
leveled rifle and carries death and ter
ror into the Russians. They wheel
about, open fifes right and left, and
fly back fister than they came. "Bra
vo, Hildilaodersl well done," shouted
the excited spectators ; but events
thicken. The Highlanders, and their
splendid. front are :4 - mti forgotten ; then
scarcely have a moment to think •.of
this fact, that the 93d never altered
their formation to receive that tide of
horsemen.. "No," said Sir Colin
Campbell, "I did not think it worth
while to form them even four deep !"
the ordinary British line, two deep,
was quite sn'tlicient to repel the attack
of those Muscovite.chevaliers.
=I
Our eyes were, however, tinned in a
.moment to our own cavalry. We haw
Brigadier-General Scarlett ride *along
in. front of his massive squadrons.
The Russians—evidently corps clite—
their light blue jackets embroidered
with silver lace, .were advancing on
their left, at an easy gallop, towards
the brow of the hill. A forest of
lances glistened in their rear, and
several squadrons of gray-coated dra
goons moved up quickly to support
them as they reached the summit.
The instant they came in sight, the
trumpets of our cavalry gaVe Wit the'
warning blast, which told us all that
in another moment we would see the
shock of battle beneath our very eyes..
Lord Raglan, all his 'staff and escort, -
and groups. of officers, the, Zonal:es,
- French Generals and officer's, and
bodies of French infantry on the bight,
were spectators of the'scene as:though
they were looking . on the stage:from
the bokes of a theater,. Nearly every
one dismoinited and set doWn,, and
not a word was said. . --
The Russians' advanced down . the
hill 'at; a :slow canter, which they
changed to .a trot, and at laSt nearly
halted., 'The first line was at least
double' the' length of Ours—it was
three times -as' .
- .Behind' them
was'e similar line, equally strong and
compact. - . They evidently - despised
their insignificant looking:enemy, but
their time was come. Tire trumpets

They advanced - in two lines; quick
ening their pace as they closed to
wards the enemy. A more fearful
spectacle was never Witnessed than
by those who, without the power . to
aid, beheld their heroic countrymen
rushing to the arms of death.. At the
distance of 1,200 yards'the whole -line
of the enemy belched forth, from 30
iron mouths, -flood of smoke and
flame, through which hissed the dead
