HORRORS OF THE HOSPITAL OF IBBAITOPOI...

Of all the pictures of the horrors of war which hpve ever been presented to the world, the hos- pital of Sebastopol presents the most heart- rending and revo ting. It cannot be described, and the imagination of a Fuseli could not con- ceive anything at all like unto it. [low the

cor human body can be mutilated and yet hold its soul within, when every limb is shattered, and every vein and artery is pouring out the life stream, one might study here at every step, and at the same time wonder how little will kill! 'l‘ho building used as an hos ital is one of the noble piles inside the dockyar wall, and is situate in the centre of the row at right on- gles to the line of the Redan. The whole row was peculiarly exposed to the action of shot and shell bounding over the Redan. and to the missiles directed at the Barrack llattery,and it bears in its sides, roofs, windows and doors, fre- quent and destructive proofs ofthe severity of the cannonade. Entering one of these doors, I beheld such a tight as few men, thank God, have ever witnessed ! In a long, low room, supported by square pillars, arched at the top. and dimly lighted through shattered and un- glatzcd window fraines,lay the wounded Russians who bail been abandoned to our mercie their ti--ncral. Tire wounded. did I say.’ No, but the dead, the rotten and fostering corpses ofthe soldiers who were left to die in their ex- treme agony, untendcd. uncured for, packed as close as they could be stowed, some on the ﬂoor, others on wretched trestles and bedsteuds, or pallets of straw, Hopped and saturated with blood, which oozed and trickled through upon the llior. ininglcd with the droppings of cor- ruption.

fate. Many might have been saved by ordinary care. Many lay, yetalive, with maggots crawl-

ing about in their wounds. Many nearly mud by the scenes around them, or seeking escape from it in their extreiuest agony, had rolled away under the beds, and glared out on the heart-stricken spectators, oh! with such looks. Many with legs and arms broken and twisted, the jagged splinters sticking through the raw ﬂesh. implored aid, water, food, or it , or, deprived of speech by tho approat-h of death, or by dreadful i.-juries on the head or ti unk. point- ed to the lethal spot. l\l:in_v sccincd bent alone on making their pence wiih Heaven.

THE SINKING OF THE RUSSIAN STIAMERI.

THURSDAY, Srrr. l3.—As the Russian steamers were still intact, notwithstanding the ctforts of the French battery at the head of the roads near Inkerinann to touch them up, it was re- solved to construct a battery on the ruins of Fort Paul, within 700 yards of the northern shore, under which they had taken refuge. The steamers lay in thré‘e irregular lines to'the eastward of Fort Catharine, where the deep creeks in the high clill's gave them some sort of shelter against the ﬁre of the French. There they were agents of much mischief and injury to the allies since the battle of Inkerinaiin down to this time. There was the famous Vladimir, with her two large funnels and ele- gant clipper hull; the Elbmuf. the stciiiner which made the celebrated dash into the Black Sea through all our ﬂeet, last year. and burned some Turkish vessels, near lleraclea, just as the Vladimir was seen in Odessa harbor, in the month of July, 1854; there was the Grosse- monetz, which had caused such annoyance from the Dockyard Creek, and there were ﬁve others with hard and, to me, unknown names, as calmly ﬂoating on the water as though no eager eyes were watching from every battery to lay a un upon them. A number of very capricious ockyurd lumps and row boats were also secur-

hut huge arks of blinding light, which hissed and crackled ﬁercely, and threw_up clouds of

Kornilol], Naschimolf, Istommine, and their crews have disap oared : their vessels now rest at the bottom 0 the roadstead of Scbastopol. The Russians prefer being agents of their own destruction, and did not give the conqiierer n a chance of parading the fruits of his victory. We can only drive the enemy to the option of destroying or of doing the work for him, and he invariably prefers the former. 'l'lio Russians are fortifyiiig themselves on the north side.

dreadful f.iscin:ition. Could that bloody mass of clothing and white bones ever have been a human being, or that burnt, black mass ofﬂesli have ever had a human soul! It was fearful to think what the answer must be. The bodies ofnuinbers of men were swollen and bloated to an incredible degree, and the features distended to a gigantic size, with eyes protruding from the sockets, and the blackened tongue Iolling out of the month, compressed tightly by the teeth which had set upon it in the death rattle, made one slindder and reel round. one of these " chambers of horrors ”—for there were many of them-—were found some dead and some living English soldiers, and among them poor Captain Vaughan, of the 90th, who has since succumbed to his wounds. I confess it was impossible for me to stand the sight, which horrilied our most experienced surgeons—tlie deadly. claintny stench, the smell of the gan- grened wounds, of corrupt blood, of rotting flesh, were intolerable and odious beyond endu- rance. But what must the wounded have felt, who were obliged to endure all this, and who passed away without a hand to give them :1 cu of water, or a voice to say one kindly word to them. Most ofthcso men were wounded on So- turday—many perhaps on the Friday before- indecd, it is impossible to say how long they might have been there. In the hurry of their retreat, the Muscovitos seem to have carried in dead men to get them out of the way, and to have put them upon the pallets in horrid mock- ery. So that ﬁheir retreat was secured, the enemy cared but little for their wounded. On Monday only did they receive those whom we sent out to them during a brief armistice for the purpose, which was, I believe, sought by ourselves. as our overcrowded hospitals could not contain, and our overworked surgeons could not attend to any more.

The Great Redan was next visited. Such a scene of wreck and ruin . All the houses be- hind it a mass of broken stones—a clock turret, with a shot ri ht through the clock—a pa oda in ruins——anot er clock tower with all the c ock destroyed save the dial, with the words “ Bar- wiso, London,” théreon—cook-houses, where human blood was running among the utensils: in one place a shell had lodged in the boiler and blown it and its contents, and pro!.abl_y its in- liahitants, to pieces. Everywhere wreck and destruction. This evidently was a (wait quarlicr once. 'l‘ho oldestinliabitant could not recognise it now. Climbing up to Ilic Redan, which was fearfully encumbered with the dead, we wit- nessed the scene of the desperate attack and

where the sailors and the covering pa at their labors. The night was dar , but they could clearly make out the steamer edging own upon them, and coming closer and closer. ivervmomcnt they expected her guns to open on tiem with grape and canister. The men therefore lay down on their faces, and kept as near the ground as they could, and the steamer came over gently, till she was within about 100 yards of the very spot where they had been working. 'l‘hcy heard her anchor splash into the water, and then the rattle ofher cable as it ran through the liawse hole. Now. certainly, were “going to catch it.” but, no, the Russian opened no port and showed no light, but seemed to be making himself comfortable in his new quarters. Laptain Villicrs of the 47th. who commanded all the covering party, ordered his men to observe the utmost silence, and the same injunction was given to the sea- About 2 30 in the morning, when s
