Q wo’er shal! tue bard, in that green blooming bower, Hear Mary's voice warble his wild song again ;

For young hearts that’ bounded to pazsion’s soft puwer, Misf.e:une for ever hath sundered in twain !

As bright eyes might light him o’er life's troubled ocenn— A kinder caress Liim—but can ho ferget

The captures that hallow the heart's first devotion 7— I wonder does Mary remember them yet!

Restore him the bloom of a hope early blighted ; Erase from his heart the doep trace of despair— Recal one wild vow which to Heaven was plighted— Bid hissoul be as pure as when true-love was there. Ob ! gover shall peace to his dark sou) be spoken, Sbali his couch be unstained with the tear of regret For pleasures long vanished, and teader ties broken—

THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA.

THE BATTLE-FiIELD OF INKERMANN: BY MOONLIGHT.

On the evening of the battle I went over the field. All our wounded had been removed, and tie wounded of our enemy wore being gathered in. The kindness and attention of our fel- lows to their helpless enemies was beyond all praise. There is nothing so awful as the spectacle Of the bodies of those who have been struck down by round shot or shell. One poor fellow of the 95th bad been struck by two 24-pounders in the head and body. . A shel! afterwards burst on bim and tore him to pieces, and it was culy by the fragments of cloth, with the regimental buttons adbering, that, you could tell that the bloody mass which lay in the road had.ever been a human being. Some had their heads taken off at the neck, as with an axe; others their legs goue from the hips; others their arms, and others again who were hit in the chest or stomach, were literally as smashed as if they had been crushed in a machine, Passing up to Sebastopol over heaps of Russiau doad, you came to th spot where the Guards had been compell- od to retire from the defetice of ths wall uhove Inkermann

valley. Here our dead were nearly as numerous as the enemy’s, Across the path, side by side, lay tive Guardsmen who were all killel by one round shat as they advanced to charge the| enemr, They lay ontheir faces in the same attitude, with che: muskets tizhtly grasped in both hands, and all had the same grim painful frown upon their features, like men who were struck down in the act of closing with their foes. Beyond # iis the Russian Guardsmen and line regiments lay as thick as leaves, intermixed with dead and wounded horses, The path lay throuzh thick brushwood, but the path was slippery with bhiod, aud the brushwood was broken down and encumbered with the dead.

The scene from the battery was awful—awful beyond des- eription. I stood upon its parapet at about 9 at night, and felt my heart sink as I gazed upon the scene of carnage around. The moon was at its full, and showed every object | a: if by the light of day. Facing me was the valley of | inkermaun, with the Tchernaya like a band of silver flowing gracefully between the hills, whieh, for varied and picturesque beauty, might vie with any part of the world. Yet I shall yecal! the memory of [nkermann Valley with any but feel- ings of loathing and horror ; fur round the spot from which I surveyed the scene, lap upwards of 5,000 bodies. Many ‘badly wounded also lay there; and their low, dall moans of mortal agony struck with terrible distinctness upon the ear, or worse atill, the hoarse gurgling ery and vehement struggles of those who were convulsed before they passed awar. Round the hill small groups of men with hospital’ stretchers were

searching out for those who still survived ; and others again, yown rifle, which [ now have, and shall certainly keep as a me-

with lanterns, busily turning over the dead, looking for the bodies of officers who were known to be killed, but who had not been found. Here also were English women whose husbands bad not returned, hurrying about with loud lamen- ‘tations, turning the face of our dead to the moonlight, and ea- seerly seeking for what they feared to find. These latter were nore to be pitied than the inanimate forts of those who lay alaugiitered around. The ambulances, as fast as they came up, received their load of sufferers, and even blankets were employed to convey the wounded to the rear.

Outside the battery (the two-gun battery above mentioned), the Russians lay two and three deep. Inside, the place was literally fall with bodies of Russian Guardsmen, and the Bri- tish 55th and 20th. Some lay as if artanged for burial, and as though hands of the relatives had arranged their mangled limbs, while others again were in almost startling ‘positions, half standing or kneeling, clinching their weapons or drawing @ cartridge. Many lay with both their hands extended to- warde the sky, as if te avert a blow or uttera prayer, while others had a matignant scuw! of mingled fear and hatred, as if indeed they died despairing. The moonlight imparted an aspect of unusual palewess to their forms, and as the cold damp wind swept round he hill, avd waved the boughs above their uplifted faces, the shadows geve @ horrible appearance of vitality ; and it seemed as if the dead were laughing, and about to rise. This was not the case on one spot, but all over the bloody field.

LETTERS FROM THE BATTLE FIELD.

A Novel way of Taking a Russian Prisoner.

The following is an extract from a letter of an offieer of the 77th Regiment :—« I have becn quite a lion ever since the engagement, owiug to my having been made prisoner by two Russians, and having escaped by killing one of my captors, and making the other prisoner in his tarn, bringing him into eanp.

|Our orders were to defend the place until fresh orders or a ‘on the right looking up the country occupied by the High- | having§uo support, could not keep them, In this condition landers and marines facing the Russians; the outposts are | we were charged in flank and rear by numerous regiments of

jreinforcement was sent. As the name implies, we were | posted in a deep ravine, the hills on one side being oecupied

not a mile from each other.

We marched up the road / Russians and cavalry, and, but for the desperation with which

| by our troops, and on the other by an advanecd picket from through the valley where the cavalry action took place on the | our fellows cut their way, there would not have been a si

j the Second Division. Just hefore daybreak D had called | in his mea, and was on the point of marching them back to }camp, when a volley was fired on the hills over us where the | | Second Division picket were posted, We immediately placed | |Our men in skirmishing order, under cover of the walls of (the ruined house. When the enemy appeared on the hills above us we opened fire on them, which they ixmediately returned. We held the place about three-quarters of an hour, until the Russians began to advance up the ravine towards us, and thus take us in flank. We then, finding their fire began to tell, commenced a retreat towards camp, but you may imagine our dismay at finding, after we hed only gone about 100 yards, that the enemy had entirely driven in our pickets on the hill, and had got at least a mile in our rear. No sooner did they see us retreat than they charged down the hil! on us in hundreds, the fellows on the tup hing all the time. We were surroundéd by Russsians on three sides, and on the fourth was a nearly inaccessible cliff. Our only chance was to endeavour to escape by climb- ing this, and, accordingly, we all ran for it, with the enemy close after us. We also afforded a splendid mark to their sharpshooters on the other side of the ravine, who kept up ,an awful fire onus. I can now only speak of what happened to me individually. I climbed, as well as I was able, ex- peeting every moment to be my last, to within 12 fect of the brow, and then found a big rock, which I could not ascend. I was so ill and exhausted that I sat dow in despair behind a large stone, which sheltered me a good dea! from the fire. Two Russian soldiers who had pursued us up the cliff caught sight of me, and made towards me with fixed bayonets. 1 drew my revolver, and took thvee deliberate shots at the smallest and ‘ wickedest’ looking of them. Exch time the pistol missed fire. This was entirely owing to my fault. It had been loaded more than two months, and entirely neglected. You can imagine my remorse at not having been more care- ful. Well, the fellow then fired at me, bat by the mercy of Heaven he just missed me, and hit a 23d man, who was en- deavouring to escape just behind me. As he was on the point of transfixing me with his bayonet I took a fourth and successful shot, and he rolled over the cliff, but before I could again use my pistol the second fellow had his boyonet at my throat, and I saw that farther resistance was useless. My worthy captor seemed rather struck ith the eligibility of the place I bad chosen, as it was tclerably sheltered from Gre, and he therefore sat down quietly by my side, keeping his rifle pointed towards my head, and making very expressive signs, which I could hardly misinterpret, that if I moved he would put an end to my miscrable existence. He, no doubt, intended to take me prisoner when the fire slackenod a little. I, of course, lay perfectly quict, and was, in fet, so exhausted that [ fell into a kind of dose cr faint. Wheu If re-opened my eyes the hill in froit was still svarming with skirmishers, but you cannot imagine my delicht when I saw some of them with their ‘ bearskins’ on, proving that they were the Guards, and that they had repulsed the Russians. This sight scemed to vestoro all my strength, and I thought that now or never [ must make my esezpe. My fricnd, secing me apparent by helpless, had removed his rife for a time from its unpleasant proximity to my heed, end I, taking advantage of this fortunate circumstance, suddenly sprang to my feet. He did the same, but, in bis astonishment, he dropped his gun. I instantly hit kim in the face with my fist with all my strength, and this being 2 mode of attack for which he was totally unprepared, he tumbled down the cliff. { rolled over with him, and we went down together for 20 or 30 yards, until checked by the etump of a tree. Luckily I then was the at top. He now began to roar out ‘Sonde ! Sonde !” most lustily. Ido not know what it means, but, as I was afraid of his evies bringing some one to his assistance, 1 hit him on the mouth every time he shouted. This soon pro- duced the desired effect; he crossed his two forefingers and said, ‘ Pardon.’ I was very glad to hear it, for my strength was just failing me; so nodded my head, and pulling out my revolver, I watched him in my turn, 1 did not shoot him, because he had spared my life previously. Presently a 23d man, who had escaped, passed near us, and I sent him to pick up the Russian’s rifie and to watch him while I went in search of my sword, which had dropped in the scuflle. Hav- ing found it, I returned and marched him into camp, with his

mesto of my escape. Of my unlucky 40 men 27 were killed or wounded, 7 taken, and 6 only escaped unhurt. So yousee we really had some sharp fighting. L was struck by a spent ball just above the left: knee, but it only raised a contusion which lamed me for a week. I also had my boot grazed, and one of the rings shot off my scabbard—rather narrow es-

capes. fi Sufferings of the Soldiers.

The following are extracts of a letter from a private in the 20th Regiment :—« I am as well as can be expected, accord- ing to our situation, which is not a pleasant one, [ assure you. The weather is wet and cold, and we have but little clothing | to keep us warm, and scarcely a shoe to our feet ; our rations come in only by chance, and then we fall short. We have no firing to cook with, but when we come across a tree or a {house we down with it for fuel. We are poisoned with vermin.and dirt; the men are dying with cold and exposure ; we are tenting it, and are in the open air 20 days out of the month watelting the enemy, and there is every sign of our | remaining in this position for the winter.” He then alludes to the battle of Bala Clava and Inkermann, and adds— ‘Our worst misfortunes are a want of necessaries for the wounded, but we do not complain. ur officers are noble | fellows, and they do all they can to alleviate the sufferings | ofthe men, Qur courage is unfiirching—ready amid every. privation to de our utmost for old England’s honour.”

A Night March from Bala Clava-

Cawe apove Sepasroror, Nov. 28,— We landed from the Queen of the South last Tuesday, and were first ordered to encamp near Bala Clava, but I hd no sooner marched up to the ground indicated, about a mile from the bay, and got all ready for the, tents, than an orderly came up with orders that we were to march up to the front that night. We ac- cordingly got our packs on again, unpiled arms, and marched back to the beach, where I found the rest of the detachments

25th; the road was most dreadful, up to the knees in mud, and encumbered with dead bodies of mules, bullocks, and. horses. Whata sight this place would be for some anthusiastic |

member of the Humate Society! French and Turkish troops were marching in every direction, arabas laden with provi- sions to supply the wants of the immense army surrounding the place. Well, we proceeded on as best we could through the mud till dark, and to every inquiry as to how far the third division was, “ Five miles” was the invariable an- swer. As it became perfectly dark we began to suspect that our guide, an orderly of the 13th Dragoons, did not know mueh about the country. At jast we reached a French camp, and asked them where the English were? They guided us to a camp, and, to our great dismay, we found we were among the Light Division, on the extreme right of the whole posi- tion, about four miles beyond ourcamp. As it conld not be helped, we turned to the right about, and again went on ; out of 120 men not more than thirty remained with us, and, if it had not been for shame, [ should have laid down too. We left our baggage on the beach in charge of a sergeant ; some men and I carried a puck with a change of things, great- coats, &e., besides canteen, pistols, sword and spade. We found that a coatee and shako is mot the most conve- nient walking dress, and after more than three weeks on board ship my first walk in the Orimea completely knocked me up. At last we reached our camp, sbout eight o’elock, after having by our wanderings converted a merch of six miles into nearly twenty. We got some supper, and I passed my first night under canvas in the tent of a brother officer who waa in the trenches. Yesterday we got no rations, and the men are suffering very much indecd from the con- tinual exposure to the constant wet and cold that we have had for the last week ; their feet are never dry, some of them haye-no soles to their shoes and no socks, others no chirts; and [ would defy any one who saw the regiments leave Eng- land to recognise the care-worn half-starved ekeletoas of which they now consist. We are encamped on a clayey piece of ground, which is now mud up to the knees; the tents areas wet within as on the outside, and there is, what is perhaps worse than anything else, a scarcity of wood. We lave been told that we may hut ourselves, but how te do so without wood I know not. Our engineers end ertillery are doing no- thing. ‘The French are pushins forvard their approaches to within 200 yards of the mud fort; bet the storm ef chot and shell is so great that it is a wondor how they exist et all. Tlcy are magnificent soldiers, I mede my d2dut in the trenches last night, and marched down in gilcuce ine storm of wind end rain. The teaches ere very wet, exd no st- tempt hes been made to drain them. The conzeguence is that we are all standing in wet ep to our knees, with no cry places to put our fire-locks. If the enemy came out, nct one half of the muskets would go off. The cisht st right ic most grand, eepecially when you hear the shot ard shel) coring close over you, not knowing whether tho next may bror your own head. We were all relieved in the morning at 2, hol? ezd with cold and wet. One poor fellow, whom we brought out in the drait, actually did die,

man return from that fatal charge. As for myself, I never reached the guns in front, as a grapesbot went through my busby, about two inches above my head, knocking it on one side, another through the calf of my leg, and the next my horse's head (a fine black mare). Well, bere I was at the mercy of their Lancers, whom I saw lancing our dis- mounted men. Tho demons give no quarter when you are down, At this moment the 8th Hussars came by, with a horse without its rider. This I mounted, and formed in the rear of the 8th, as iv it were my own regiment, and dashed on. But worse again—we were obliged to wheel “right about,” and to pass through a strong body of the enemy’s cavalry, which had gathered in our rear, cutting off our re- treat. Of course with our handful, it was life or death, so we rushed at them to break through them, but as soon as we got through one body there was another to At any rate, with five or six of our fellows at my rear, I gallo on, parrying with the determination not to lose my life, breaking the lances of the cowards who attacked us in the proportion of three or four to one, occasionally catching one a slap with the sword across his teeth, and giving another the point in his arm or breast. Atany rate they kept close on me till I got sight of our beavies, when thanks be to God. they stopped pursuing me, and I got clear without a scratch from their lanees. (Qh! the sabre before the lance!) I found thet I could not dismount, from the wound in my right leg, and so was lifted off—and how I caressed the noble horse that brought mo safely cut. I will mot disgrace you as a soldier, take my word. The attendance at the hospital is new pretty good, but.of course not like home, Pray that I may be preserved f2om the dangers of war, and maintain the character for honour, maguanimity tothe foe, and courage in the Geld, or which the British soldier is so justly. famed. With best love to my fsther and yourself, and all that are dear to me,—LDelisve me tc be your affectionate son,
