«?, £c. ~ 'ij_,
v: ; Salem, Friday P. M., Oot 13.
t)ear PgsU —The Ohio and Pennsylvania Horße
Exhibition whioh has been bolding here for tho
post three days, dosed this afternoon under
highly favorablo oiroumstances, taking the un
propitious weather into aoooant. Your corres
pondent not being present at the opening can
gay very Httle about the first day’s performance.
Thursday dawned inauspiciously. Tho lowering
heavens and moi t atmospbero fell like a pall
upon the faces of the jookeys present, who had
expected to sde some sport, as that day the
speed and bottom of a number of fast horses
was to be tested on the half mile oourse. It
cleared off, however, towards noon, and was
tolerably comfortable for those gentleman with
heavy overooats, and the ladies who had not for
gotten their fare.
Tbobottle are crowdod to excess, and it is a
hard thing to find a where to ho your head. I
stopped at tho Wilson House, and found an
exoellent table. It is considered tho best ho
tel In town, I beliovo, and I can answer for
the politeness of Mr. Seaton to his guests.
There were quite a number of thoroughbreds
on tho ground. Of these waß a beautiful bay
stallion named “Hasson,” owned by C. H. Corn
well, of 3a!etn. lie is as fleet as bo is beautiful,
and consequently wo were apt surprised to hear
that “Gossan” took the first premium ($6O)
for thoroughbred stallions, against three compe
titors, os well as a forty dollar premium for
speed, in a oontest with a gallant groy owned by
Lysander Pelton, of Gostavus, Mahoning coun
ty, Ohio. Last year these same horses had a
matob and were ridden by Mrs. Cornwell and
Miss Pelton respectively, when Hasson came out
at the tail end. This year it was determined the
lords should try their speed. Both gentlemen
are accomplished horsemen, Mr Cornwell, io our
taste, the most graoeful. Tho run waß two half
mile heals On the first half mile tho horses
oame io pretty ovenly, but ou the eoooud Has
Ban distanoed hie competitor proving himself to
bo of much better bottom and of courso won the
prize.
Oq Thursday morning there was a grand
paoiog match between *' Frank Pierce, 1 ’ of
Cleveland—a horse that has made his milo in
2:28 upon a good oourse—and a Tackahoc
horse, from North Georgetown, Ohio. The dis
tance was accomplished id three minutes, and
Was won by Tuckahoc. Felix of your
city held the ribbands, which will ia port explaiu
tho defeat of the opponent Felix is a groat
favorite on the quarter stretch amoog tho boye,
and it is generally conceded be was tho best
driver on tbo ground. What he don't know in
the driving way is hardly worth learning. A
brush of a milo heat and repeat, against time,
took place on Friday. The only ones entcrod
was “ Kennobeek,” a beautiful sorrel trotter
with white mane and tail, from Cleveland, and
“Vermont Boy,” owned by J. B. Brown, of
Mansfield, Allegheny county, I'a., and driven by
Felix Lafferty. Kcnnebook tbrowed himself
beautifully, and made it in 3:12 ; Vermont Bay
in 3:8, and won tbo raoe.
1 observed a number of Pittsburghers on the
ground on both dayß—particularly tbo last —and
several had tho.honor of being put upon tbo
Committees to award prize* 1 heard the uames
read out, and if I mistake not Dr F. Irish
was upon (he Committee on draught Stallions,
Mr. John Irwin on roadsters and Geo. Fortune
upon the Committeo to award the silvtr oup to
tho most daring and accomplished horsewoman'
AH doubtless acquitted themselves with credit
to themselves and booor to Pittsburgh.
The last day was tbo day of tbo occasion.—
The Managers of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
Horse Show beiog governed by the same reasons
that inflaenees exhibitors of Dearly everything
else to ktep tbo best thing for the last day, de
layed the exhibition of cquestrienneship until the
afternoon of Friday. FiXpectation was on tip
toe, v for It Is well known ibis portion of tho
Baokeye State is famous for women accomplish
ed in this noble art. There were six entries
The first was a Miss Lanterman, of Aastintown,
Mahoning county, scarcely ten years of age,
who redo a black filly exceedingly gracefully,
and with & freedom that ehowed a vast deal of
self-possession for a girl of her tender years.—
She rode around the riog “cutting scallops” as
tho Ladies say, and received merited applause
Next came Miss Pclton, of Trumbull oounty, a
very good looking girl,who wore a ground oolor
od skirt, blatu velvet boddice, with white beaver
bat and plume. Sbo dressed decidedly more
tastefully than any lady in tbo ring, and her ri
ding was also much applauded. Bhe rode her
father’s “ gallant groy. ” Mrs. Cornwell U stod
tho speed of “ijassau,” in a brush with her bus j
band. Mrs C. is perhaps the best horsewoman
in Ohio, and has tho reputation, like the Indian
Chief Logan, of never knowing what fr&r is
whon on horseback. This is very probable, if
I may jadge from the way she rode to-day.—
MissBha»pneok, of Salem, also sat her horse
graoefplly, but those previously mentioned oar
ried off the honors. Here are a portion of the
premiams awardedt £
Thoroughbreds —Best stsllioa, (four entrien)
“Hasson,” C. H. Cornwell, Bolem, Ohio, $6O ;
rooond do. “Tuckaboe,” D. B. Sherrod, Carroll
county, Ohio, $3O. Best mare, (six entrioe)
“Boston Bay,” B D. Barne 3 , Bloomfield, Ohio,
$3O; seoond do, a filly from Youngstown, Ohio,
owned by B. L Bush, $l6
Pacing— six entries—First premiam, ($3O)
to “Tuckaboe,” owned by John Campbell, of
North Georgetown, Ohio.
Stallion for all purposes —First premium, ($3O)
to “ Vermont Boy,” owned by .'obn B Brown,
of Pittsburgh.
Trotting mares and gelding 6—First premium,
($3O) to “ Fanny Fern,” owned by Silas Mer
chant, of Cleveland ; second do ($2O) to a sor
rel, owned by Lysander Polton, of Trnmbull
county.
Altogether, Mr. Editor, ihd exhibition was a
success, and when it comes off next year may 1
be there to see. Yours, &c ,
A New Slave Trade—-Frightful ltertla-
It appears from a Parliamentary paper pre
sented to tho House of Lords, entitled “Corres
pondence upon the snbjeot of emigration from
China,” that a new slave-trade is growing up in
the world, and, it must be confessed, under
British auspices. Tho revelation is frightful.—
A memorial from certain shipmasters lately re
turned from the Cbincba Islands details the
cruellies prao:ised on the Chinese laborers em
ployed in the export of guano, under tbo author
ity of persons responsible to the Government of
Pern. Those unfortunate men are represented
to be carried from China to the Chinches for tho
most part, if not exclusively, on board of British
vessels. “No sooner are they landed from the
ships than they see tall Afrioan negroes placed
over them as boatswains, armed with a lash of
four plaits of oowhido, laid np in the form of
wbat seamen call 'round sonnet,’ fivo feet in
length, an inch and a half in di&moter, tapering
to a point. Dariog tho forenoons, for regular
offences (or suoh as the ovorseors please to term
snob) this instrument was not much used; but as,
about four o’clock in the afternoon, many of tho
weakest had not performed their task work, the
boatswain freely used to start those bohiod to
bring tho day’s supervision to a oloee. Toe
slightest resistance was punished by a flogging
little short of murder, as on many melancholy
occasions we have witnessed, being nearer than
we desired. The first 6to 12 cuts Btified the
most agonizing cries that rang through the floot
—cries we heard day by day, but only then knew
the full amount of suffering that oalled them
forth. There wasuo tying up, tho nearest Chi
naman being compelled, by a oat of tho lash, to
lay hold of an arm or leg, and stretch the ml <-
erable sufferer on bis stomach on the guano.—
The mere weight alone of the lash made their
bodies shake, blaokeaing the flesh at every blow,
besides cutting like a sabre; and when a convul
sive movement took piace, a subordinate placed
his boot on the shoulder to keep the quivering
body down. Two dozen made them breathless,
and when released after 39 lashes, they seemed
slowly to stagger over, reeled and fell, and wero
carried off to the hospital—in most cases, if
they recovered, oommitted suicide, for no human
heart, unless elevated by Christian training,
could, after undergoing so oruol an infliction,
ever have more than two feelings, that is, death
thoae fiuffered from, or to himself. Accord
ingly, dunog our stay there, many sprang over
the cliffoi, many buried themselves alive in the
gnaao, and many hW themselves in the caves to
starve to death; their dead bodies floating all
aronndTil Bombers* In one instance, two, em
boldened by pity sbown them by a shipmaster,
hid themselves on board his vessel, one of whom
survives and is now in tbiflcoufitr^.”

A LOOKER ON
'At.-,
FOREIGN NEWS,
DESCRIPTION OF THE
FAH OF SEBASTOFOIi.
Saturday, September 8 The weather
changed suddenly yesterday. This morning it
became bitterly cold. A biting wind from the
north side of Sebastopol blew intolerable clouds
of harsh dnst into onr faces. The sun was ob
scured ; the sky was of a leaden wintry grey.
Early in the morning a strong force of oavalry,
under the command of Colonel Hodge,was mo
ved up to the front and formed a chain of sen-*
tries in front of Cathcart’s Hill and all along
onr lines. No porson was allowed to pass this
line, unloss he was a staff officer or was provi
ded with a pass. Anothor lino of sentries in the
rear pf them was intended to stop stragglers and
Idlers from Boloklava, and the objeot In view
was probably to prevont the Russians gathering
any intimation of onr attaok from the unusual ac
cumulation of poople on the look-out hills. If
that were so, it would have been better to have
kept the oavalry more to the rear, and not to dis
play to the enemy a lino of hussars, lancers, and
dragoons along onr front. At 10,30 the High
land Brigade, under the command of Brigadier
Cameron, marched up from Kamara, and took
np its position In reserve at the right attaok, and
the Guards, also in reserve, wore posted on the
same side of the Woronxoff Road. The first bri
gade of the fourth division sorved the trenches
of tho left attack tho night before, and remained
in them. Tho seoond brigade of the fourth di
vision was in roserve. Tho Guards, who served
the trenohes of the left attaok, and only marobed
out that morning, were turned out again after
arriving at their oamp. The third division,
massed on the hill-sido before their camp, were
also in roserve in readiness to move down by the
left attaok, in case their sorvioe^w 6 ™ required.
Gen. Pelissier daring the night collected about
30,000 men about the Mam cion to form the storm
iog oolumns for the Malakcff and Little Redan,
and to provide tho necessary reserves. The
French wore reinforced by 6,000 Sardinians,
who marobed np from tho Tohernaya last night.
It was arranged that tho French were to attack
the Malakoff at noon, and as soon as their at
tack began, that wo wore to assault the Redan.
At the samo time a Btroog column of Frcnoh
was I understand, to make a diversion on the
left, and menace tho lino of the Bastion do Mat,
but I do not believe it was intended to operato
seriously against this part of the town, the pos
session of whioh, in a military point of view,
would be of minor importance.
Tho cavalry sentries were posted at 8 30. At
10.30, tho second division and the light division
moved down to tho trenches, and wero placed In
the advanred parallels as quioty und unostenta
tiously ns possible. About tbo same hour Gen.
Simp on und staff moved down to tho Bccond
parallel of the Green Hill battery. Sir Harry
Jones, too ill to move band or foot, nevortholoes
Insisted on being carried down to witness the
assault, and was borne to the parallel on a litter,
io which be remained till all was over, it w&e,
os 1 have said, a bitter cold day, and a stranger
would have been astonished at tho aspeot of the
British generals, as they viewed the assault.
Tbo Commandor in Obief, Geo Simpson, sat in
the trenob, with bis nose and eyes facing tho
cold and dast, and bis cloak drawn up over his
head to protect him against both. Gen. Jones
woro a red night cap, and reclined on a litter ;
and Sir Riohard Airey, tbo i&rtcrmaster Gene
ral, bad a white pocket handkerchief tied over
his oap and ears, which detraoted somewhat from
a martial and belligerent aspeot. Tho I>nko of
Newcastle was stationed a( Cathoart’s Hill in
the early part of the day, and aftorwards moved
rff to the rig t, to the pickot houso, over tho
Woronziff road All the amateurs and gentle
men, who rather abound hete jnst now, woro in
a elate of great excitement, and dotted tho plan
in eccentric attire —which roooallcd one’s memo
rtee of Cowes, and yatching and sea-bathing—
wero engaged in a series of subtle manoeuvres to
turn the flank of unwary sentries, and to get to
the front, and their success was most creditable
to their eoterpriso and ingonuity. Tbo Tartars,
Turks > ml Eapatorians wero singularly perturbed
for such placid people, and tbrooged every knoll
which commanded the smallest view of tbo
place. At 10 45 General Pclissior and his Btafi
wont up to the French Observatory on tho right.
Tbo Frenoh tronebes were crowded with men as
close as they could pack, and we could soe our
meo through the breaks in the olouds of dust,
whioh wero most irritating, all ready in their
trenches. The c&nnooade languished purposely
towards noon ; bat the Russians, catching sight
of tho cavalry and (roops In front, began to shell
Catboart’s Hill and tho heights, and disturbed
the equanimity of some of tho spectators by
thoir shells bursting'with “ thuds" right over
tbeir beads. A few miuutes before 12 o'clock,
the Frenoh, like a swarm of beos, issued forth
from trenches closo to tho doomed Malakoff,
swarmed up its face, and wero through the em
brasures in the twinkling'of an eye. They cross
ed the seven metres of ground which separated
them from the enemy at a few bounds—they
drifted as iigbtiy and quickly os autumn lcavos
before the wind, battalion after battalioo, Into
the embrasures, and in a minute or two after
the bead of tbeir oolnran issued from the ditch,
the tricolour was floating over the Korniloff
Bastion. The mQSketry was very feoble at Aral;
indeed, onr allies took the Russians by surprise,
and very few of the Utter woro in the Malakoff;
bat they soon recovered themselves, and from
twelve o’clock till past seven In tho eveniog, the
Frenoh had to meot and defeat tho repeatpd at*
tempts of the enemy to regain the work and tho
little Redan, when, weary of tho fearful slaugh
ter of his men, who lay in thousands over the
exterior of tho works, the Muscovite genoral,
despairing of success, withdrew his exhausted
legions, and prepared, with admirable skill, to
evacuate tho place. Of the French attaok on
the left l know nothing, bnt that, if intended in
earnest it was not successful, and was followed
ba eomo loss to oar allies.
As soon bb tbo tri oolor was observed waring
over tbe parapet of the Malakoff through the
smoke and dost, four rockets were sent op from
Obapman’s attack, one after soother, as a signal
lor C"! *Mault OU the R?dan. They were al
most borne back by the violence
ami tbe silvery jets of sparks they threw out, on
exploding, wore nearly invisible against the raw
grey sky. I take it for granted that there is
no one in England who is not by this time quite
well acquainted with the exterior of tho Redan,
and who does not know tbe shape and situation.
In my noxt letter 1 will endeavor to give an idea
of what it is like inside ; at present I have no
time to desoribe it, nor tboappeorance of Sebas
topol, now that one can walk through its flaming
streets.
Ia order to giro on idea of the plan of attaok,
I send you a copy of the “ divisional after or
der,” in accordance with which it was arranged,
and for the sake of comparison there is suspen
ded to it a oopy of the essenoo of the orders is
sued for the attack of the 18lh of June. It will
bo seen that the differences betwoen the two
plans relate to details, and not to prinoiplo.
When the order was rooelvod on the 7th, the
general remark was—“ This looks like another
18th of Juno.” In fact, tbo attacking columns
wore not strong enough, tbo supports were not
strong enough, and were also too far behind,
and tho trenohes did not afford room for a suffi
cient number of men. Now, it will bo observed,
that, where we attaoked the Kedan with two di
visions only, a portion of eaoh being virtually
in reserve, and not engagod in tho affair at
all, the Frenoh made the assault on thoMalakoff
with four divisions of the second corps de’armee,
the first and fourth divisions forming the storm
ing oolumns, and the third and fifth being tho
Bupport, with resorves of one hundred thousand
men.
The Frenoh had probably not less than 3000
men in the right attack on tho 7th September.
The divisional orders for the Seoond Division,
were very tnuoh tho same as those to the Light
Division. Tho covoring party consisted of one
hundred men of the 3rd Buffs, under Cspt. John
Lewis, who highly distinguished himsolf, and
one hundred men of Jhe second battalion of the
Rifle Brigade, I believe, under the oommand of
poor Captain Hammond. The soaling ladder
party consisted of ICO men of the 3rd Buff's, un
der Captain Maude, whose gallantry was very
conspicuous throughout tho affair, in addition to
the 160 of the 97th, under the gallant and la
mented Welsford. The part of the force of tho
Seoond Division consisted of 260 of the 3rd Buffs,
300 of the 41st (Welsh), 200 of the 62nd, and a
working party of 100 men of the 41st. The rest
of Windham’s Brigade, consisting of the 47th
and 49th, were in reserve, together with Waren’s
Brigade of the same division, of which the 30th
and 55th were called into notion, and suffered
severely. Brigadier Shirley was on board ship,
but as soon os he heard of the assault he resol
ved to join his brig&do, and he accordingly came
up to the camp that very morning, CoL Duett,
of the 19tb Beg , was the senior officer in Brig
adier Shirley’s absenoe, and on him would have
devolvod the duty of leading the storming column
of the light division, had fho latter not returned.
Colonel Dnett, ignorant of the brigadier’s inteu
tion to leave shipboard, had to deoide with Col.
Windham who Should take precedence in tho ut
ibek. They tossod, and Col. Unett won. Ho
bad it in his power to say whether he would go
first or follow Col. Windham. He looked atiho
shilling, turned it over, and said; “My choice is
made, I’ll be the first man in the Redan ” But
. * '
i&L
fate willed it otherwise, and be was struck down
badly wounded ere yot he reached the abattis,
although ho was not Lading the column
Boarcely had the men left the fifth parallel when
th? gim§ on ihe flank of the Rodan opened os
thorn as they moved.up rapidly to the salient, in
which there Were of course no cannon, as the
nature of each & Work does not permit of their
being placod la that particular positiou. In a
few seconds Brigadier Shirley was temporarily
blinded by the dost and by earth knockod into
bis eyes by & shot. He was obliged to retire,
and hie place was taken by Lieutenant Colonel
Danbury, of tho 23rd Regiment, who was next
in rank to Colonel Unett, already .-truck down
and carried to the roar. Brigadier Van Strau
benzee reoeived a contusion on the face, and was
also forood to leave the field. Col. Handcock
fell mortally wounded in the head by a bullet,
and never spoke again. Captain Hammond fell
dead. Major Welsford was killed on tho spot.
Captain Grove was severely wounded. Many
offioers and men wore hit and fell; and of tho
commanders of parties, only Acting Brigadier
general Windham, Captain Fyers, Capt. Lewes,
and Captain Maude got, untouched, into the
Redan, and escaped scatheless from the volleys
of grape and rifle balls whioh swept the flanks
of the work towards the salient.
It was a few minutes after twelve when our
men left the fifth parallel. Tho musketry com
menced at ouoo, and in less than fivo minutes,
daring which the troops bad to pass over about
thirty yards from tho nearost approach to the
parapet of tho Redan, they bad lost a large pro
portion of their officers, and wero deprived of
tho ai 1 of their leadors with tho exceptions I
have stated. The riflemen advanced admirably,
but, from their position, they could not do muoh
to reduoe the fire of the guns on the flanks and
below the re entering angles. As they came
nearer tho enemy’s fire becane less fatal. They
crossed the abatlis without difficulty; it was
torn to pieoes and destroyed by onr shot, and
the men st A pped over and through it with ease.
The light division made straight for the salient
and projecting angle of the Rod no, and oaroo to
the ditch, which is here about fifteen feet deep.
The party detailed for the parposo placed the
ladders, bnt they were found to bo too short.—
However, had thoro been enough of them, that
would not have mattered muob, but some had
been loft behind in the bands of the dead or
wouoded men, and others had been broken, so
if one can credit the statements made by those
who were present, there wero not moro than six
or seven ladders at the salient. The men, led by
their officer*, leaped into the ditch and peram
bled up the other side, whence they'got up the
parapet almost without opposition, for the few
Russians who were in front ran back and got be
bind their traverses and breastworks as soon as
they saw onr men on the top, and opened fire
upon them.
Lamentable as it no doubt is, and incredible
almost to those who know how tho British sol
dier generally behaves before tbo enemy, the
men, when they got on the parapet, were seized
by some strange Infatuation, ami began firing,
instead of following tbeir officers, who now be
gon to fall foßt as they rushed on in front and
tried to stimulate their soldiers by their exam
ple. The small party of the 90th, muoh dimin
ished, went on gallantly towards the breastwork,
but they were too wc k to force it, and thpy had
to re l «ro and get behind tbo traverses, where
men of different regimeuta had alroady congre
gated, and were keeping up a brisk fire on tho
Russians, whoso heads wero jast visible above
the breastwork. Simultaneously with the bead
of tbe stouning party of tbe Light Division Col.
Windham had got insido tbo Rodan on tho right
below tbe salient on the proper left face of the
Redan, bat in spite of all his exertious, could
do littlo moro than the gallant officers of the
90th and 97tb, and of the supporting regiments
Ab tho light division rushed out in the front
they wore swept by the guns of the Barrack Hat
lory, and by Beteral pieces on the proper right
of the Redan, loaded heavily with grape, which
cansoJ them considerable loss cro they reached
the salient or apex of tbo work at which they
were to assault. The storming columns of tho
seoond division issuing out of tho fifth parallel
rushed up immediately after the light division,
but when they came by olose to tho apnt Briga
dier Windham very judiciously breught them, by
a alight detour ou tho right flank of tho light
division, so as tooome a little down on tho elope
of the proper loft face of tho Redan. Tho first
embrasure to which tboy oarao was in flames, but
moving on to tho next, the men leaped into the
ditch, and with the aid of ladders and each oth
er's hands, scrambled up on tbo other side,
olimbed tho parapet, or poured in through the
embrasure, which was uodefeuded. Col. Wind
ham was the first, or ono of the first men in on
this side, and with him entered Dinicl Mahoney,
a groat grenadier of the 41st, Killeany and Cor
neilis of the same regiment. As Mahoney en
tered with a oboer, bo was shot through tho bead
by a RoBBian rifleman, and fell dead across Col.
Windham, and at the same moment Killeany and
Comeiiia wero both wounded. The latter claims
the rowafd of £5 offered by Col. Herbert to tbo
first man of his division who entered the Redan.
Running parallel'to tbo faces of (ho Redan, there
is, as I ha vo described, an inner parapet intend
ed to Shield the gunners at the embrasures from
the effects of any shell whioh might fall iuto tho
body of the work, and strike them down if this
high bank wore not there to protect them from
the splinters. Several cuts in the rear of the
embrasures permitted tho moo to retire in case
of need inside; very strong and high traverses
ran along the sidos of the work itself to afford
them additional eboiter. At tho base of the
Redan, before the re-entering angles, is a breast
work, or, rather a parapet with an irregular
carve, up to a man's neok, which runs in front
of the body of tho plaoe. As onr mon entered
through the oobrasurea, tho few Russians who
were between tho salient and this breastwork ro
t rested behind the latter, and got from tbo tra
verses to Its protection. From it they poured in
a qaiok fire on the parapet of the salient, which
was orowded by the men of the Light Division,
and on the gaps through tbo inner parapet of
the Redan, and onr men, with an infatuation
which all offioera deplore, but cannot always re
medv on sycb oopasjons, began to return tho fire
of the enemy without advancing or oroeeing be
hind the traverses, loaded and fired as quiokly
as they could, bat did littlo execution, as tbo
n««aians wsr? irell eoverod by the breastwork.
There were also groups cf RnAian riflemen be
hind tho lower traverses near the base of tho
Redan, who kept up a galling fire on our men.
As the alarm of an assault Was spread, the ene
my came rushing up from tho barracks in rear
of the Redan, and increased tho forco and inten
sity of their fire, while our soldiers dropped fast
and enoourged the Russians by their immobility
and tho weakness of their fusillade, from whioh
the enemy were well protected. In vain the offi
cers by voice and aot, by example and daring,
tried to urgo onr Boldiers on. They had an ira
prosslon that tbo Redan was all mined, and that
If they advanced they would all be blown op ;
but many of thorn noted as bee&mo tbo mon of
Alma aod Inkormann, and, rushing to tho front,
wero swept down by the enemy’s fire. Tho offi
oera felt on all sides, singled oat for the enemy’s
firo by their courage. Tho mon of tbo different
regiments became mlnglod together in inextrica
ble oonfa&iqn. The 19th men did not oaro for
j the orderß of the officers of the 88tb,.nor did tho
soldiers of tho 23d heed tho commands of an of
fioer who did not bolong to their regiment. The
offloere ooald not find their men—tho men bad
lost sight of their own officers. Air tho briga
diers Bare Col. Windb&m wore wounded or ren
dered nnfit for tho guidanoe of tho attack. That
gallant offioer did all that man ooald do to form
Ms mon for the attack, and lead them against
the enemy. Proceeding from traverse to tra
verse, he coaxed the men to oome out, and suc
ceeded several times in forming a few of them,
bat they melted away as fact as ho had hold of
them, and either fell in their littlo ranks or re
tired to cover to keep up their foßillado.
Many of them crowded to lower parte of tho
inner parapet and kept op a smart' fire on tho
enemy, but nothing would induoe them to oome
out into the opon space and charge tho broast
: work. TMs was all going on at tho proper left
faoe of the Redan, while nearly the sarao scene
was being repeated at the salient. Every mo
ment onr men were diminishing in numbers,
while the Russians came np in swarms from the
town, and rushed down from the. M&lakoff,
which had now been by the French.
Thrice did Colonel Windham send officors to
Sir W. Godrington, who was on the fifth paral
lel, begging of him to send up enpports in
some order of formation: but all these three
officers were wounded as they passed from the
ditch of the Rod&n to the rear, and the Colonel’s
own aid-de-camp, Lieut. Swire, of the 17th, a
gallant young officer, was hit dangerously in the #
hip, as he went ou bis perilous errand. Sop
ports wore, indeed, sent np, but tbe camo up iu
disorder from the fire to which they wero ex
posed on their way, and arrived in driblets ooly
to inorease tbe confusion and tho carnage.
Finding he ooald not oolleot any men on the left
face, Colonel Windham passed through one of
1 the outs of the inner parapet, and walked over
to the right faoe at tbe distanoe of thirty yards
from tho Russian breastwork, to whioh he
moved in a parrallel line, exposed to a close fire,
bat wonderfal to say, without being touohed.
When he got behind the inner parapet at tho
right faoe, ho found tbe same state of things as
that whioh existed at the left. The men were
behind the traverses, firing away at the Rus
sians, or blazing at them from tbe broken parts !
. . tr- r ?v .
of tbo frout; and tbe salient in front, only got
, behind these works for cover,whtiethey loaded
and fired at the enomy. some
riflemen' and a few men of _dhe 88th‘together,
bat no sooner had Tie brought thenr oat, than
they wero either killed, wounded, or dispqrscd
by a concenttated . fire. The offioors, with the
noblest devotion, aided tlolonel Windham, and
became the speoia! marks of the enemy's rifle
men. The narrow neck of the ealient was too
close to allow of any kind of formation, and the
more tho men orowded into it tbe more they got
oat of order, and the moro they suffered from
tbe onemy’s fire. This miserable work lasted
for an hour. The Russians were now in dense
masses behind the breastwork, and Col. Windham
walked back across the open space to tbe left to
make one more attempt to retrieve the day.
The men on tho parapet of the salient, who
were firing at the Russians, sdnft tbeir abot at
him, and tho latter, who were pouring volley
after volley, on all points of tho hoad of the
work, likewise directed their muskets, against,
him, but ho passed through tho cross fire in
safety, and got within tho inner parapet on the
left, v.boro tho mon wero becoming thinner and
thinner. A Russian offioer now stepped over
tho breastwork, and tore down a gabion with
his own hands; it was to tn&ke room for a field
piece. Colonel Windham exclaimed to several
soldiers who were firing over tie parapet,
“ Well, as you are so fond of firing, why don't
you shoot that Rassi&n ?” They fired a volley
and missed him, and soon afterwards tho field
piece began to play on the head of the salient
with grape. Colonel Windham saw there was
no time to be lost He bad sent three officers
for reinforcements, and above all, for men in
formation, and be now resolved to go to General
Godrington himself. Seeing Captain Crealook,
of the Ninetieth, noar to him, busy in encour
aging his men, and exerting himself with great
conrege and energy to get them into order, he
said—“ I mast go to tho General for supports.
Now, let it be known, in case I am killed, why I
neat away.” He oro&sed tho parapet and ditch,
and succeeded in gaining tbe fifth -parallel
through a storm of grape and rifle bul ets, in
safety. Sir William Codrington asked him if he
thought be really could do anything with each
supports as he oould afford, and s%id be might
take the,Royals, who were then in the paralleL
“ Let the officers oomo out in form—let ns ad
vance in order, and, if the men keep their form
ation, tho Redan is oars,” was the coloneVs re
ply ; bat he spoke too lato—for at that very mo
ment our men were soen leaping down into tho
ditch, or running down the parapet of tbe sa
lient, and through the embrasures out of the
wor* into tho ditch, while the Russians followed
tbeai with the bayonet, and. with heavy mns
ketry, and even threw stones and grapesbot at
them as they lay in the ditch. The faot was
that the Russians, having accumulated several
thousands of mon behind the breastwork, and
seeing our men all scattered up and oonfased be
hind tho inner parapet of tbo traverse, crossed
the boastwork, through which several field
pieces were now playing with grape on tho in
ner face of the Redan, and charged our broken
groups with tbe bayonet, at tbe samo time that
the rear ranks, getting on tho breastwork, pour
od a heavy hail of ballots on them ov?r the
beads of tho advancing column. Tho struggle
that took place was short, desperate and bloody.
Oar soldiers, taken at every disadvantage, met
the enemy with the bayonet too, and isolated
combats took place, in which tbe bravo fellows
who stood thoir ground bad to defend themselves
against three or four adversaries at onoo. In
this melee tho officers, armed only with tbeir
swords, had little ohnaoo; nor bad those who
carried pistols much opportunity in using them
iu such & rapid contest. They fell liko heroes,
aod many gallant soldiers with them.
The bodies of English and Russians, looked in
tho embrace wbicb death could not relax, but had
rather cemented all tbe closer, lay next day in
side tho Redan, as evidences of tho tdrriblo ani
mosity of the straggle. But tho solid weight of
tbe advancing mass urged on, and fed oach mo
ment from tbe rear by company after oompany,
and battalion after battalion, prevailed at last
against tho isolated and disjointed band, who
had abandonod tho protection of unanimity and
courage, and had lost tho adv&ntago of disci
pline and obedienoo. As though some groat
rock had advanced into tho sea and forced baok
the waters that buffeted it, so did the Russian
columns press down against the spray of sol
diery whioh fretted thoir edge with fire and steel,
and contended in vain against their weight
Tbo struggling band was farced back by the
enemy, who moved on, crushing friend and foe
beneath the solid tramp; and bleeding, panting,
and exhausted, onr men lay in heaps in the ditch
beneath tho parapet, sheltered themselves behind
stones, and in bimb crates in the elope of the
work, or endeavored to pass back again to our
advancod parallel and sap, and to run the gaunt
lot of a tremeodous fire. Many of them lost
their lives, or were Bcrionsly wounded in this
attempt The scene in tho ditch waß appalling,,
though some of tbo offioers hate assured me that
they and the men were laughing at the precipi
tance with which many brave and gallant fel
lows did not hesitate to plang headlong upon the
mass of bayonets, muskets, and sprawling sol
diers. Tho ladders wero all knocked down or
broken, bo that it was difficult for onr men to
get up at the other side, and the dead, the dying,
tho wounded, and tho sound were nil lying in
heaps together. Tbo Russians came out of tho
embroeuroa, plied them with stones, grape shot,
and the bayonet, but were soon forced to retire,
by the fire of oaf batteries and riflompu, and
under cover of this fire many of our esca
ped to the approaches. In some Instances the
enemy persisted in remaining outrido in order
to plunder tho bodies of those who were.iyiog
on tho slope of the parapet, and paid the penal
ty of their rashness in bring stretched beside
their foes; but others camo forth on another
errand, and actually brought water to our
wounded.
If ibis last sot be Irno, it is but right to dis
credit th? story that the Russians placed our
wounded ovor the magazine in the rear of the
Redan, near tho Barraok Battery, ore they fired
it—the only foundation for whioh, as near as 1
oan discover, is, that many of tho bodies of our
men found iu tho Redan scorch
ed and burned; bat there were many Russians
lying there in a si.uilur state. General Peliesier
observed the failure of our attaek from the rear
of the Malokoff and sent over to Gen. Simpson
to ask if he intended to make anothor attack
The English Commander-in-Chief is reportod to
have replied that he did not then feel in a con
dition to do so. All this time the Guards and
Highlandors, the third and fourth divisions, and
most of the reserves, wore untouohed. Thoy
oonld, indeed, have furnished ample- materials
for another assault; but the subsequent move
ment of the Russians render, tt extremely doubt
ful whether tho glory of carrying the Redan,
and of redeeming tho credit of our arms, would
not have been dearly purchased by the effusion
of more valuable blood. Ab soon as we aban
doned tho assault, the firing almost oeased along
our front, but in the roar of the Malakoff there
was a fieroo oontest going on between mosses of
Russians, now released from the Redap or drawn
from tho town, and the Fronoh inßide'the Work;
and the fight for the Little Rodan on tho proper
left of tho Malakoff, was raging furiously.—
C ouds of smoke and dust covered thesceno, but
tho rattle of musketry was incessant, and be
tokened the severe nature of the struggle below.
Through tho breaks in the smoko there oouid
be seen now and thon a tricolor surmounted by
an eagle, flattering bravely AVer theinner par
apet of the Malakoff. The storm of battle rolled
fiercely round it, and beat against it; but it was
sustained by strong arms and stout hearts, and
all the assaults of the enemy were directed in
vaiu against it. Wo conld see, too, onr noble
allies swarming over into the Malakoff from
their Bpiendid approaches to it from tho Mame
lon, or rushing with swift stops towards tho
right, where tho Russians, continually reinfor
ced, Bought in vain to beat baok their foes and
to regain the key of their position. The strug
gle was full ot interest to us all, but its issue
was uevor doubted.
Our attaok lasted about an hour and three-,
quarters, as well as I oouid make oat, and in
that time we lost more than at Inkerman, where
the fighting lasted for seven hours. At 1:48 p.
m , whioh wap about the time wo -retired,-
there waß au explosion either of a tumbril
or of a fougasse between the Mamsion
end Malakoff, to tho right, whioh seemed to
blow up several Frenchmen, and soon afterwards
tho artillery of tho Imperial Guard swept across
from tho rear towardß the Little Redan, and
gave ns an indication that oar allies bad gained
a position from whioh they oonld operate against
tho enemy with their field pieoeß. ‘Frcm the
opening of the attaok the French batteries over
Careening Bay had not oeaßed to thunder against
the Russian fleet, whioh lay silently at anchor
below, and there was a lively cannonade between
them and the Inkennaon batteries till the even
ing, whioh vras interrupted now and then by the
interventions of tbo Redonbt Victoria, the Eng
lish Redoubt and the lato Sellngbinsk and Voi
bynia Redoubts, which engaged the Russian bat
teries over tho last end of the harbor.
General Sinuson remained in the Greenbill
Battery till six o’clock, at whioh hour General
Peliesier sent to inform him that the Malakoff
was qnite safe, and to aek him what the English
intended to do with respect to the Rodan. Gen.
