We received last night Loudon papers of the
lltb, brought by the *>ieamehip Washington a;
New York. The details in regard to the great
battle fought on the Crimea at the river Alma,
»6«m to occupy almost exclusively public atten
tion in England. The London Times of the 10th
inbt., devotes fourteen columns to different ac
counts of the engagement. We condense from
these sources the full details given below, which
are of absorbing interest.

The English Account.
The Position of the Russians. —At the top of
the ridges, between the gullies, the Russians had
erected earthwork batteries, mounted with 821 b.
and 24!b. brass guns, supported by numerous field
pieces and howitzers. These guns enfiladed the
tops of the ravines parade! to them, or swept
them to the base, while the whole of the sides up
which an enemy, stable to stand the direct fire
of the batteries , would be forced to ascend, were
filled with of skirmishers armed with an
excellent two groove rifle, throwing a largo solid
conical b&Ji with force at 700 and 800 yards, as
the French learnt to tfce’r cost. The principal
battery consisted of an earthwork of the form of
two sides of a triangle, with tnc apex pointed to
wards the bridge, and the sides covering both
sides of the stream* corresponding with the bond
in the river m it, at/ ■b'.j cL v-.rvj© of f.OOO
yards, while, w..n a fair elevation, the 32-poun
ders threw, as wo saw very often, beyond the
houses of the village to the distance of 1,400 and
1,500 yards. This was constructed on the brow
of a hill about 600 feet above the river, but the
hill rose behind it for another 50 feet before it
dipped away towards the road.
Xhe ascent of t his hill was enfiladed by the fire
ot three batteries of earthwork on the right, and
by another on the left, and these batteries were
equally capable of covering the village, the stream,
and the slopes which led up the hill to their posi
tion. In the first battery were 13 82-pounder
brass guns of exquisite workmanship, which told
only too well. In the other batteries wore some
25 guns in all. It was said the Russians had 100
guns on the hills and 40,0o0men (40 battalions of
infantry, 1,000 strong, each of tho 16th, 31st, 22d,
and 52d regiments.) We wore opposed principal
ly to the 16th and 82d regiments, judging by tho
number of dead in front of us. I have not been
able to asceitain by whom they were commanded,
but there is a general report that Menschikoff
commanded the army in chief, that tho left was
under GortschakofTa relative of the diplomatist,
and that the right was under Bodaboff, the mil
itary Governor of Sevastopol.
'lhe Plan of Operations. —Our plan of opera
tions was that the French should establish them
selves under the fire of tho gnus on the heights
ou the extreme ol the enemy’s left. When that
attack was sufficiently developed, an 1 met with
success, the British army was to force the right
and part of the centre of tho Russian portion, and
the day was gained. When we were about three
miles from tho village, the French steamers ran
In as close as they could to the bluff of tho shore
at the south side ot the Alma, and presently wo
saw them shelling the heights in splendid style,
the shells bursing over the enemy’s squares and
batteries, and finally driving them from ihoir posi
tion on the right, within 8,000 yards of the sea.
The French practice commenced about half-
East 12 o’clock, and lasted tor about an hour aud a
alf. We could see the 6 hoi Is falling over tho
batteries of tho enemy, and bursting right into
them ; and thou the biack masses inside tho works
broke into little specks which flow about in all di
rections, and when the smoko cleared away there
wero some to be seen strewed over the ground.
The Russians auawerod tho dhips from the heights,
but without effect.
The French Scale the IlEnwrra.—At 1 o’clock
wo Haw the French columns struggling up the
hills, covered by a cloud of skirmichers, whose
fire seemed most deadly. Once, at sight of a
threatening mass of Russian infantry, iu a com
manding position 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 pas de
charge , and at onco broke the Russians, who fled
in disorder, with loss, up the hill. Wo could seo
men dropping ou both sides, and the wounded
rolling down the steep.
T*e English are Engaged.— Lord Raglan wait
ed patiently for ihe development of the French
attack. At length ati aid-do camp came to him
and reported the French had crossed tho Alma,
but they had not established themselvos sufficient
ly to justify us in an attack. Tho infantry wero
therefore ordered to lie down, and the army for a
short time was quite passive, only that our artille
ry poured forth an unceasing fire of shell, rockets
I and round shot, which ploughed through tho Rus
sians, and caused them great loss. They did not
wuver, however, and replied to our artillery man
fully, their shot falling among our men as they lay,
aud carrying off logs and arms at every round.
Lord Raglan at last becaino weary of this inactivi
ty —his spirit wan up—he looked around, and saw
men on whom ho knew he might stake the honor
and fate of Great Britain by his side, and, antici
pating a little iu a military point of view the crisis
of action, he gave orders for our whole line to ad
vance.
Up rose these serried masses, and, passing
through a fearful shower of round, case shot, and
shell, they dashed into the Alraa, and kt flounder
ed” through its waters, which were literally torn
into foam by tho deadly hail. At the other side
of the river wore a number of vi leyards, and to
our surprise, they were occupied by Russian rifle
men. Three of the staff were here shot down, but,
led by Lord Raglan in person, the rest advanced
oheering on the men. And now came the turning
poiut of the battlo, in which Lord Raglan, by hi»
sagacity aud military skill, probably secured the
victory at a t mailer sacrifice than would havebeeu
otnerwise the case. He dashed over the bridgo,
followed by his staff. From tho road over it, un
der tho Russian guns, he saw the state of tho ac
tion. The British line, which he had ordered to
advance, was struggling through the river and up
the heights iu masses, firm indeed, but mowed
down by the murderous fire of the batteries, and
by grapo, round shot, shell, canister, case shot and
musketry, from some of the guns of the central
battery, and from au immense and compact mass
of Ru sian infantry.
Then commenced one of the most bloody and
determined struggles in the annale of war. The
2d Division, led by Bir D. Evans in the most dash
ing maimnr, crossed the stream on the right. Tho
7th Ftwileers, led by Colonel Yea, wero swoept
down by fifties. The 65th, 80th, and %th, led by
Brigadier Peunefather, who was in the thickest of
the fight, chcoring ou his men. again and again,
wero checked indeed, but never drew back in their
onward progress, which was marked by a fierce
roll of Minie musketry ; and Brigadier Adams,
with the 41st, 47th, aud 49th, bravely charged up
the hill, aud aided them in the battle. Sir George
Brown, conspicuous on a gray horse, rode in front
of bia Light Division, urging them with voice and
gesture. Gallant fellows 1 they were worthy of
such a gallant chief. The 7th, diminished by ono
half, fell back to re-form their columns lost for
the time; the 2sd, with eight officers dead and
four wounded, were still rushing to the front, aid
ed by the 10tb, 83d, 77th, and 83th.
Down went Sir George in a cloud of dust in front
of the battery. Ee whs soon up, and shouted “2sd.
I’m all right. Bo euro I’ll remember this day,”
and led thorn on again, but in tho shock produced
by tho fall of their chief the gallant regiment suf
fered terribly while paralized tor a moment. Mean
time the Guards, on the rifcht of tho Light Divis
ion, and tho Brigade of Highlanders wore storm
ing tho heights on the left. Their line was almost
as regular as though they were in Hyde-paik.
Buddently a tornado of round and grape rushed
through from the terrible battery, and a roar of
musketry from behind thinned their front ranks
by dozens. It was evident that wo wore jußt able
to oontend against the Russians, favored as they
were by a great position. At this very time an
immenoe mass of Russian infantry were seen mov
ing down towards Ihe battery. They halted. It
was tho crisis of the day. Sharp, angular, and
solid, they looked as if they wero cut out of the
solid, rock. It was beyond all doubt that it our
infantry, harrassod and thinned as they wore, got
into the battery they would have to * encounter
again a formidable Are, which they were but ill
calculated to bear.
Lord Raglan saw the difficulties of the situation,
tie asked if it would be possible to got a couple ol
guns to bear on these masses. The reply was
“Yes,” and an artillery officer, whose name I do
not now know, brought up two guns to fire on tbe
Russian squares. The first shot missed, but the
next, and the uext, and the next cut through the
ranks so cleanly, and so keenly, that a clear lana
could be seen for a moment through the square.—
Alter a few rounds the square became broken,
wavered to and fro. broke, and fled over the brow
of the hill leaving behind it six or seven difctinct
lines of dead, lying as olose as possible to each
other, marking the passage of the fatal messen
gers. This act relieved our infantry of a deadly
incubus, and they continued their magnificent and
fearful progress up the hill. The Duke encour
aged his men by voice and example, and proved
himself worthy of his proud command, ano of the
Royal race from which he ootues. “Highlanders,”
said Sir C. Campbell, eie they came to the charge,
“Don’t pull a trigger till you’re within a yard of
the Russians 1”
They charged, and well they obeyed their chief
tain’s wish; Sir Colin had his horse shot under
him, but his men took the battery at a bound.—
The Russians rushed oat. and left multitudes of
dead behind them. The French turned the guns
on the hill against the flying masses, which the
cavalry in vain tried to cover. A few faint strug
gles trom the scattered infantry, a tew rounds of
cancou and musketry, and the enemy fled to the
south-east, leaving three generals, three guns, 700
prisoners, and 4.000 wounded behind them. The
oattie of tne A!ma was wod. It is won with a loss
of nearly 8,000 killed and wounded ou our side.—
The list will appear in a few days. The Russians
retreat was covered by their cavalry, but it we had
an adequate force we could have captured many
guns and multitudes of prisoners.
From an ther Correspondent .
A Terrible Scene cf Blood. —The armies were
fortunately so placed that t;:ey had the work to do
which est suited the peculiar qualities of their
men. The English could not have scaled the
heights like tbe French, nor would French col
umns, in all probability, ha.e marched up to the
batteries with that dogged courage which so dis
tinguished British troops when placed in the posi
tion in which they were durirg this battle. The
French having turned the Rasc-iar. flank and held
the heights, our troops advanced steadily under a
most tremendous fire from tne batteries. They
broke in crossing the river, and the Light Division
rushed up the slope without pausing. Two regi
ments —it is impossible to reconcile the conflicting
accounts, each regiment saying that the other gave
w av—recoiled beneath the tremendous fire of the
Russian bat afles.
This par of the battle is much criticized by some
of the military authorities, who declare that oui
troops were exposed to almost inevitable destruc
tion; the earthwork was, however, triumphantly
carried, and tfce battle decided by an admirable
movement of the Highland Brigade, under Sii
Colin Campbell, to whom every one assigns the
decisive movement which secured complete vitto
tory; but the slaughter here was terrific. The
oldest Generals declare that in uo battle heretofore
’ fought have so many dead been heaped up in one
apot. It would be impossible to describe to yot

j The French Account ot ihe Battle of Alma.
The following description of the battle is trans
lated from the Monitmr de la Flotte, and purports
I 5? k a7 * been written by a superior officer of the
I French Navy;
“Alma Roads, Off the Crime*., Sept. 22.
* * * The baltl j which began a* noon on the
20th, was a complete victory. At 6 o’clock in the
evening, night alone rescued the Russians from a
most terrible destruction. They retreated to their
intrenched camp at Katoha, 10 miles to the Booth
of this.
“Thd Aima is only passable at three points in the
course ot its last mile, close to its mouth. Even
at >te mouth it is barred by a narrow bank which
ouly affords a passage for one man at a time in
front. Following its course, about a mile and a
quarter higher up, is a bridge, which passes
through the upper end of the viliage; it leads to a
valley shut in between tho mountains which stretch
onwards toward-* the Eist and the plateaus of
which 1 have spoken, which reach to the sea and
mmana the river. Higher up the Alina, towards
i.ne East, the stream diminishes, and its bed is
fordable in many piaces.
“Menschikoff, solidly established on the heights
of the left bank, aud occupying the village at his
feet, with 45,000 men, cf whom 12,000 wore of the
Guard, and 8,000 Dra.oons, and having crowned
tho steep ground and tho opening of the village on
ihe valley by which the stesp ground is terminated
towards the East with a numerous artillery, aud
thinking his position was iiupreguabla, had written
to his master fas we learnt from nis correspondence
of the 21st, which we have seized) ‘I am awaiting
the French in an impassable position; even ii
there are 200,000 of them; I shah throw them into
the sea.’
“AH this description ie indispensable thoroughly
to catch the ensemble of the action which follows.
While the formidable lozenge, the point in front,
marched over the 10 marine miles whioh separate
Alma from Old Furl, float so lowed. The *.a
thcr Wu 3 line, and there was a slight breeze from
the southwest. The sailing vessels wore towed by
tbe steamers and the frigates. The li-ikt steamers
sailed close in shore, sounding, and signalling the
depth as they went. A little off from shore were
the four steam frigates Vaaban, Descartes, Canada,
and Caffarelli, and then, further out still, in a par
allel line, tho man-of-war. The night before 11
our other frigates and nearly all our transports had
left for Varna to embark tho cavalry, of whioh wo
are completely deficient, and 10,000 men of the
reserve. Os course, we on board the fleet sailed
faster than the army marched, so that by noon on
the 19lh we were ail anchored off the mouth of the
Alma; the men-of-war found themselves in eight
or nine fathoms water about two miles off the shore.
“ At noon our advanced guard crowned the hil
locks of Zembrucb, and was only separated from
the enemy by the wide plain of a mile aud a quar
ter across, which stretches from Zcmbruck to the
Alma. The plan of the Marshal, v/e knew, was to
halt for a time at Zembruck, showing only the
heads of hi.* columns, in ordor to draw down
some of tho Russians into the plain on the right of
the Alma. Canrobert was to creep round to the
oast, and at a given moment to turn round and lall
on the right of the Russians engaged in tho plain,
when the enemy, attacked on the right flank and
in front, would be pout up in a corner, and driven
down to tho sea under ihe lire of our batteries.
Up to 2 o’clock in the afternoon Menschikoff re
inained in his intrenchments on tho inaccessible
plateaus of the left bank without stirring. At 2
o’olock, however, taking our motionless attitude
at Zombruck for hesitation caused by his formida
ble position, he detached a strong column of caval
ry (Dragoons of the Guard) down to the plain,
followed and supported by a brigade of infantry,
marching in close column. Attention, now, the
drama is about to begin.
, Grouped on tho poop, in tho tops, oh the yards,
1 iu the shrouds, breathless with excitement and
- emotion, we hod a capital view of tho field; noth
ing escaped us; we could distinguish tho uniforms
of the regiments, the arms they carried—every
i thing, in fact. Oh, tho glorious and beautiful
3 spectacle! two armies were about to join battle
3 under our eyes. Our friends, our brethren in
s arms, at last were on tho point of finding them
- selves face to face with tho enemy so long wished
a for, so long desired. Frauce was about to cross
• swords with Russia—how great the duel! And
, now tho Russian cavalry deploys; it executes
beautiful manwavres, tho harmony and precision
of which wo admire. It skirmishes with our out
-3 posts; sevoral volleys of artillery are fired at it;
it replies, and the Russian infantry, forming in
. squares, marches resolutely to support it. But
our front stirs not; the English troops are not yet
i in line, and it is impossible for the Marshal to
vonture a general engagement to-day. At 4
, o’clock the English arrive, but it is too late for a
forward movement. Tho army pitches its tents
j and prepares for a bivouac. Thereupon Menschi
j keff exults, and promises himself to demolish us
j finely to-morrow. At a quarter past five Canro
bort’s division, which has succeeded in stealing a
flank march, makes it* appearance in the east of
■ the plain. All the Russian squadrons deploy on
i the right, form a great circle, and oharge ho.lv on
l our division. Tne division halts, forms three
, squares, flanked by its artillery, and awaus the
• attaok.
i How my heart boat3—if they should be crushed
i by that mass of 8,000 horaemon launched on them
at full gallop 1 But, no! a terrible lire of cannon
i and musketry receives them, horses fall to the
ground, a still greater number escupe without
riders in all directions, and the mass of cavalry
flies in disorder, and seeks a refuge behind the
infantry, whore it re-forms. Bravo, bravo, the
fire hus begun, tho Muscovite have turnod tail!
Soon Canrobert has reached about halfway along
our front; he defies the enemy. Tho cavalry,
ashamed of its first defeat, tries for a rovonge.
Its coiums are re formed, massed together closer
than before, and the charge begins more rapid and
more furious than the first. But a olose discharge
stops and breaks the rolling mass; the earth is
strewed with co.pses, and the routed Dragoons fly
to recover themselves behind the Muscovite
’ares. No doubt the Gonerai who commanded
the infantry was horribly enraged at seeing the
fine cavalry of the Guard disbanding themselves
in so disgraceful a fashion under the eyes of both
armies, for this time ho received the fugitives '
with a general discharge, which surprised us
much, and, I own, made us laugh heartily. But
it was now 7 o’clock, and both parties withdrew
to their own encampment.
Sept. 20.—A fino sky, smooth sea, aud radiant
sun. Our troops strike their tents, and are in
motion at 6 o’clock. The English are in line and
occupy tho loft of our army. The Turks are
at the extreme right resting on the sea. From
onr vessel wo could see all tbe Russian positions.
Canrobert’e attempt tho day before to turn their
right has put Menschikoff on h'.s mettle against
this manoeuvre. So we find that since the night
boforo a movement has been made towards the
right to strengthen it. The centre of the Russian
army is massed in the valley which faces tho
bridge over the Alma; its left, which has been
withdrawn about three-quarters of a mile from tho
sea, covers the heights which look over the river,
aud which are a continuation of the peaked hills
near the mouth of the river, its right covers all
tho heights which command the valley to tho east,
and, lastly, its advanced guard, with all the rifle
men, occupy the village on both the banks of the
river. A formidable artillery protects the front
aud the flanks on every eminence in front of the
valley, and in front of the river they have strong
redoubts. Menschikoff occupies Ihe tower of a
telegraph station, from which he has a view of
the country for nine miles round.
Tho Marshal and Lord Raglan have agreed on
tho same dispositions as tho night before, except
that this timo there was no longer any question of
throwing the Russian army into sea, for it had
withdrawn itself at least two miles; but the point
was to surround and onvelop* it in tho valley in
which it was massed. It was settled that tho En
glish, who formed the right wing, should march
to the east, and then turning round w : th a sweep to
the right, should out-flank the Russian right wing.
On our right the Turks and the division of Gen.
Bosquet were t > follow the sea, and out-flank the
Russians loft wing, which bad left a considerable
space unoccupied between it and the shore, and
were then turn round on the Rosaian left and rear.
The Marshal was to attack the ftwnt by the village
and the bridge loading to th® valley where the
strength of the Russians was nnfcsed, but he was
to time his movements so as to Occupy tho atten
, tion of the enemy and allow thno for our two
wings to out-flank him.
These were the dispositions agreed on, and to
ward 7 o’clock our army commenced to move with
out attempt at concealment. At 10 o’clock there
was a general halt; the soldiers were ordered to
take a meal, and an hours’ rest was allowed them.
The Russians remained quiet, waiting the shock
in their formidable positions. One thing surpris
ed us on board very much—that Menschikoff had
completely abandoned the defence cf the packed
heights which defended his left. A few guns and
a handful of soldiers defending the ravines which
piorced that wall of 100 feet high, would have been
enough to stop all our army. We learnt after
wards from the prisoners who were taken that he
had abandoned the defence of this line whioh cov
; ered his left, regarding it as absolutely impassable .
> even for goats. He did not know our Zouaves !
» From 10 to 11 o’clock Menschikoff’, haviDg no idea
5 of our plan of out-flanking him on both wings, and
> not seeing tho cross movement of the English,
which was covered by the mountains in the oast,
thought again, as he had done the night before,
, that we were hesitating, dispirited, and disconcer
r ted by the obstacles before us. “Decidedly,” sai i
t he to the officers of his staff, “These French have
i had enough. I shall be obliged to go and help
them to r. -embark a little quicker.”
j At 11 o’clock the Marshal launched his right
1 along the side of the river, and we could seethe
- Chasseurs, the zouaves, and tho Turks coming
1 along at a run—lt is clear that the Marshal sup
-3 poses that the English have had time enough to
> make their movment to the left. Then we sec all
, our centre in motion, and advanca :cing in good
f order on the village. At noon it approaches that
position, which is covered by a cloud of Russian
skirmishers. The cannon roars, and the fire spreads
■ everywhere. During this time we see our right
r pass the river at its mouth ; other columns push
" higher, passing tho river any way they can. Very
f soon we are astonished to see our men climbing
s these inaccessible peaks, clinging to everything,
e and swaming along like ants. After 20 minutes
* climbing, we see them rising on ihe crest of the
f hill, crowning every elevation, and before Men
a achikoff could have believed his eyes we had 10,-
0 000 men outflanking him on his right. Then he
e bethinks him of driving back the danger, and lann
s ches against cavalry 80 pieces of artille
“ yy and several columns of infantry. It is too late,
8 though. Oar troops give way not a foot, six pie
i oes of our artillery have succeeded in passing the
? bridge, and advance to support Bosquet.
The formidable artillery of the Ruseians pierces
us and makes lanes through our ranks; but our
brave fellows stand their ground, and soon rein
e I forcements arrive. Gar ce.itre carries the village;
5 and all the Rassian riflemen are driven out or kill
r ed. Soon we are so strong on the left of the Ras
e sians, and their attention is so fixed on their cen
tre, menaced by the Marshal, that they leave us
6 undietnrbed masters of the heights towards the
sea. Bosquet profits by this to push ahead and to
* oocupy the road to Kateha with his division, so
® as to bar the retreat by that. All goes well in that
1 quarter, but there are no signs of the English on
a tue left wing. The Marshal cannot advance too
y far, fceaanse our centre would oe uncovered on fl:e
P right. At 2 o’clock all the village is ours and the
l " leit bank is conquered ;at 8 o’clock we attack the
£ Rwsaiau centre, a battery is taken in the redoubt,
e we pres§ the left of the Rossians, and we fores
e them to concentrate all their efforts on the centre
and the left. For throe hoars three of our divis
e ions and an English division had oil the Russian
ir army on their hands.
5- At last, at half past 8, there is a great movement
y visible on the rignt of the Russians. It is the
e English troops making their appearance. They
ir advance rapidly, but, in approaching, obetaeles,
is arising from the nature of tne groan j, no doubt
>- prevent them from taking the Russian army in
re the flank, and they maze a flank inarch, so as to
re get in front ot the valley and of the Russian
le masse*. Thev are in two parallel lines. The
Russians resolve to attack them, and all at once
re three enormous columns, whioh formed the Bas
il aian order of battle on tbe right, lormed close
>d column, fixed bayonets, and rushed at a run on
y. the first line of the English. This resists; the
i- second line rushes to its support, and then the
is lines in front, which unroll themselves like long
ie serpents, lap over st the extremities, enclosing the
m Russians between them. In this order of stuck
is the English, by stretching out a little, have the
le great advantage of being able to surround the
r- enemy,
ii the centre of the English linee had been pier-
cod, all was over—the English army would have
been destroyed; but these brave fellows bore the
shock without breaking, and at this very moment
a French battery of Horse Artillery came up snd
took the Russian mass on its left flank. Then
came a frightful pell-me-I; there was no more
firing; they stabbed oneanother with the bayonet.
At the end of a quarter of an hotr the Rassian
mass was destroyed, aud the English linos, re
forming in clo-*e order to close up the numerous
gaps, rusted on the Russian right. From that
time all went down before ua, snd the Russ.'tns
were soon in full retreat. If we had cavalry, the
Rassian army would have been annihilated. Our
artillerymen pursued them until 6 o’clock, firing
on the mass without ceseatop, and Bosquet sain
ted them as they passed with & heavy fire. At 7
o’clock our columns retur *d to the Russian camp,
and encamped for the night on the field so glori
ously won. On the morrow (the 21st) the first
care’was to »elieve the wounded and bury the
dead. The allies had I,oos killed and 2,000 woun
ded. Tne Russians had B*ooo.
| One can scarcely form an ides of the wonderful
manner in which our soldiega %bt. accustomed to
African warfare, and attacking with surprising re
solution, but with a marvellous intelligence too.

broke up into skirmisheravkilHng from afar, but
without presenting a mark for the enemy to fire at.
Tho same before a square; but when it cornea to
the charge, when they have thrown disorder into
a column, you see them form quickly into a lump
and charge with the bayonet. The brave English
are still in tho iron columns which advance intre
pidly to the slaughter without hurry and without
receding a foot. When Lord Raglan saw our divi
sions of the right climbiDg the gigantic walla of
the heights which shut in tra river he applauded
and sheted, “ They are not iriau, they are lions and
tigers.”
The brave English ar» c ’ 1 with their al-
Hcr!. they, who »• e ):-■« bravory, f
think we have labored well, for yo3terday, when
ever they saw a Frenchman, they saluted him with
frantic cheering. Prinoa Napoleon haa displayed
wonderful coolness and ardor, so that the night
after the battle one of the Zouaves summarized
the general opinion of him by declaring that he
was ‘a finished trooper, and ought for sure to have
B-rved in the Old Guard.’ Yesterday and to-day
we have collected and embarked the wonnded, the
Russians as well as our own. X have visited the
field of bat’le. What a terrible spectacle 1 There
wero some places where the Russians lay so thick
tho: earth had been thrown on them in a heap,
without attempting to dig a hole to receivo them.
The earth was strewod with arms and debris of all
sorts. To morrow we maroh for Katcha, 10 miles
from this. Will the Russians await ns there!
They must be completely demoralized, for wo have
just given them a thorough beating, and m the
most formidable position you can imagine. Thence
wo shall fall on Sevastopol all together, and, with
God’s help, wo shall draw this claw from the
Northern Bear’s paw.
lolere.ting Incident. Connected with the Fight.
We occupied yesterday considerable space with
tho narratives furnished by eye-witneasos of the
battlo of Alma. We condence to-day, from various
sources, further interesting details.
“Our wn Correspondent" on the Field.
SOJCNE AJTEB THE BATTLE.
X had remained in the rear of the Guards aud
Highlanders until they commenced crossing tho
vineyard, whon the Russian shot, which began
ploughing through tho ranks, told me, in language
not to bo mistaken, that, as a non combatant, it
was madness my going any further. I accordingly
returned to a conspicuous eminence on one side of
the valley, from which I could survey the whole
scene ot carnage and destruction. Directly the
heights were gained I galloped aoross, and was
shocked and eickened at tho sight of the battle
field. In the commencement of the action one
feels nothing but fierce excitement, which increases
as tho battle grows better. Fear of wounds, even
pity for tho wounded, is seldom felt, so intense, so
breathless, is tho eagerneaß with which every fea
ture of the great game is watobod. But crossing
the field afterwards is quite a different affair. The
anxiety is over, the battle is won, and the reaction
of tne spirit has set in. In such a mood 1 found
myself, as 1 moved on, parebed with thirst, ready
to sing from fatigue, and my head throbbing as if
it would burst.
A Dreadful Sight—Nearly Ten Thousand
Dead Bodies.—lt wasa terribleandaiokeningsight
to go over tho battle field. Till deprived of my
horse by a chance shot I rode about to asoertain,
as far as possible, tho loss of our friends, and in
doing so 1 was often brought to a standstill by the
difficulty of getting through the piles of wounded
Russians, mingled too olten with onr own poor
soldiors. Tbe hills ot Greenwioh Park in fair ti -no
are not more densely covered with hnman beings
than wore the heights of the Alma with dead and
dying. On these bloody mounds fell 2,187 English
officers and men, and upwards of 8,000 Russians,
while their western extremity was covered with
the bodies of 1,400 gallant Frenchmen, and of
more than 8,000 of their foes.
How Long the Fight Lasted. —When Lord Rag
lan and his staff and the Duke of Cambridge rode
round to tho top of the hill, the troops cheered
thorn with a thrilling effect—a shont of viotory—
which never can be forgotien. The enemy, who
were Hying in the distance, might almost have
heard its echoos as it rolled among tho hills Our
men had indeed done their work well, for the ao
tion, which commenced at 1.25 ou oar part, was
over about 4 p. m., in fact, the actual doße contin
uous fighting did not last two hours.
The Russians. —The Russiun regiments engaged
ngaiugt us, judging from the numbers on the caps
and bottono of tho dead and wounded, wore some
of tbe Imperial Guard. Tne Russian regimont
consists of four battalions, and eaob battalion may
bo said to be 650 strong. The soldiers were most
ly stout strong men. Several of the regiments, 28d
and 16th, for example, wore a blaok .eather hel
met, handsomely mounted with brass, and having
a brass cone on tbe top, with a hole for the recep
tion of a tuft, feather or plume; others wore sim
ply a white linen foraging oitp. Tliey were all
dresßed in long drab coata with brasa buttons,
bearing tho number of the regiment. These coata
' fitted loosely, were gathered in at the b»ok a small
strap and button, descend to the ankles, and seam
ed stout comfortable garments, though the cloth
was coarse in toxturo; the trouaers, of coarse blue
stuff, were thrust inaide a pair of Wellington
boot", opened at the top, to admit of their being
oomfortably tucked down; the boots were stout,
well-made, aud serviceable.
Their Knapsacks and Rations.— Their knap
sacks astonished our soldiers. On opening them,
each was found to contain the dress uniform oeatee
ot tho man, blue or green, with white facings, and
slashes like our own, a pair of clean drawers, a
clean shirt, a pair of clean socks, a pair of atont
mits, a case containing a good pair of seisaors
marked “Sapin,” an excellent penknife, with one
large blade, of Russian manufacture, a ball of
twino, a roil of leather, wax, thread, needles and
pins, a hairbrush and comb, a small looking glass,
razor, Btrop, aud soap, shoe brushes and blacking.
The general remark of our men was that the Rus
sians were very “clean soldier*aud certainly
the men on the field had white fair skins, to jus
tify the expression. Each man had a lorf of dark
brown bread, of a sour taste and disagreeable odor,
in his knapsack, aud a linen roll containing a
quantity of brown, coarse stuff, broken up into
lumps and large grains, which is crushed biscuit
or hard, granulated bread prepared with oil.
This, wo were told by tho prisoners, was the
sole food of tho mon. They eat the bread with
onions and oil, the powder is “reserve” ration;
aud if they maroh they may be for days without
food, and remain hungry till they can got fresh
loaves and more “breadstuff.” It is perfectly as
tounding to think they can keep together on such
diet—and yet they are atrong muscular men enough.
Tiieib Powers of enderanoi.— Tho surgeons re
marked that their tenacity ot life was very remar
kable. Many of them lived with wounds calculat
ed to destroy two or three ordinary men. I saw
one of the 23d Regiment ou the field just after the
fight. He was'shot right through the head, and
the brain protruded in large manses at the back of
the head aud from the front of the sknll. I saw
with my own oyes the wounded man raise his
head, wipe the horrible mass from his brow, and
prooeed to struggle down the hill towards the
water I Many of the Russians were shot in three
or four plaoes ; few of them had only one wound.
They seemed to have a general ides that they
would be murdered ; possibly, they had been told
no quarter would be given, and several deplorable
events took place in consequence.
Fxabfcd effects o» thk mime bum. —The immense
superiority of the Minis rifle end bullet, not only
over the common musket, but even over the oem
mon rifle, was ineontestibly proved at this battle.
Many of our fellows were slightly wounded, but
none of the Russians were so. The Minis ball
makes no Blight wound. The effect on the Russians,
judging from their dead, was awful. When it
struck it tore and broke all before it. Some of
their wounded told us that men were wounded by
the Minie bullets after they bad passed through
the bodies of their comrades. The immense ma
jority of the enemy were wounded through the
head, generally struck about the throat or under
the chin, for the men fired upwards as they were
ascending the hill. The common musket ball at
such a range would have done no great damage,
but here the balls bad come out through the top of
the skull, rending the bone as if done with a hat
chet. The wounds were awful.
Sicxemino Incidents. —As our men were passing
by two or three of them were shot or Btabbed by
men lying on the ground, and the cry was raised
that “the wounded Russians” were firing or. our
men. There is a story, indeed, that one officer
was severely injured by a man to whom he was
in the very act of administering succor as he lay
in agony on the field; be this as it may, there was
at one time a near chance of a massacre taking
place, but the men were soon con. rolled, and con
fined themselves to the pillage which always takes
place on a battle-field. One villain with a red
ooat on his back. I regret to say, I saw go up to
a wounded Eussian who was rolling on the earth
in the rear of the 7th Regiment, and beforo w#
could say a word he discharged a rifle right through
the wretohed creature’s brains. Col. Tea rode at
him to cut him down, but the fellow excused him
self by declaring the Kusaian was going to shoot
him. This was the single act of inhumanity I saw
perpetrated by the army flushed with victory and
animated by angry passions, although the wound
ed enemy had unquestionably endangered their
lives by acts of ferocious folly. Many of the
Russians had small crosses and chains fastened
round their neoks. Several were found with
Korans in their k: apsacks—most probably recrnita
from the Koean Tartars. Many of theofioera had
portraits of wives or mistresses, of mothers or
sisters, inside their coats. The privates wore the
little money they possessed in parses fastened
below tbeir left knees, and the men, in their eager
search after the money, often caused the wounded
painful apprehensions that they were about to
destroy them. Last night all these poor wretches
lay in their agony; nothing could be done to help
them. The groans, the yells, the cries of despair
and suffering, were a mournful commentary on
the exultation of tbe viotors and on the joy wbioh
reigned along the bivouac fire* of our men. As
many of our wounded as could be possibly pioked
up ere darkness set in were conveyed en stretch
ers to the hospital tent- Many of tbe ethers were
provided with blaukets, and oovered as they lay
in their blood. Tbe bandsmen of the regiments
worked in the most cheerful and indefatigable
manner, hour after hour, aearohing out ana car
rying off our wounded.
The Battle Field at Nioht. —Long after night
had dosed, ' aint lights might be seen moving
oyer the frightful field, marking the spots whers
friendship directed the steps of some officer in
search of a wounded comrade, or where the pilla
ger yet stalked about on bis norrid errand. The
attitudes of some of the dead were awful. One
man might be seen resting on one knee, with the
arms extended in tbe form of taking aim, the
brow compressed, the lipe clinched—the very ex
pression of firing at an enemy stamped on the face
and fixed there by death; a ball had struck this
man in the neck. Pr ysiologiata or anatomists
must settle the rest. Another was lying on his
back, with the same expression; and hia arm*
raised in a similar attitude, tha Minie moaket still
grasped in his hands undischarged. Another lay
in » perfect arch his head resting on ana part of
the ground and his feet on the ether, bnt the bake
raised high above it. Many man withent legs or
arms were trying to crawl down to tbe waterside.
Soma of the dead lay with a aalm, plead smile on
the fsce, as though they were in some delicious
» amd Arm Death.—o/ the Russians one
thing was remarkable. Tbe prisoners are gener
ally aoarse, • alien, and nnintalligasHoeklßg nan.
e Death had ennobled those who fell, for the es
-6 preesicn of their laces was altogether different.
I a 8 7 0unded m >ffht have envied those whoseom
-1 ed to have passed so peacefully,
a The soldiers aro all shaven cleaDly ou the cbiu
s and check; only the mousUche is left, and the hair
. s cropped as close to the head ea possible. Tne
i latter ia a very convenient mode of w. aring the
' f' : rA n V 18 * 6 P“i» of the world. Tto officers
r mT? 9 ? u ? ! ?P? r:cr ra, -k exoept-id) are barely dis
tinguisbable from tho mer., so fsr as uniform is
i concerned, hut the Generals wore ssshes end jroid
- •P aa |®ft4s. Tne subalterns wore merelj a lace
saoulrteretrap insvesd of tbe cloth one of the pri
' Yates. Most of them spoke French, and the en
treaties of the wounded to bo taken along with us
as the officers mored up the hill were touohiDg in
the extreme.
Thx Prisoners. —The poor fellows had a notion
men woa^d murder them if the eve of
the officer was removed from them. An old ‘Gen
eral, who sat milling and bowing on a bank with
his leg broken by a round shot, seemed principal
ly concerned for the loss of his gold snuff-box. ;
This, I believe, has since been restored to him.
The men say they were badly handled, aud had* i
no General to direct them. The officers displayed
great galiantry, and the men fought with a dogged
courage characteristic of the Russian infautry, but
they were utterly deficient in elan and dash. Our
loss is 2,196 killed and wounded ; of the French,
between 1,800 and 1,400. The enemy have lost
upwards of 6,000. Had we had but a little brig
ade of cavalry more we might have convened tho
retreat into an utter route, and takon eome 5,000
prisoners’ guns, and standards as trophies ol our
victory. The troops bivouacked on the field, not
far from the scene of triumphs. The rifles, (2
battalion,) were sent in front as usual. The caval
ry videttes scoured the country and fell, back at
night-fall on their main bodies in advance ot the
Rifles. Tbe tenta of Lord Raglan’s head quarters
wero pitched on a flat close to tho bridge, and to j
the left of the hill on which were lying the balk
of the killed ard wounded.
AmuTAL OF THE W6CN3ULD AT CONSTANTINOPLE.—
It was a moving sight yesterday to see the long
trains of wounded Dome from the Andes and Vul
can to the hospital. From dawn to evening tho
labor was incessant, and tho offieora and medical
men seemed perfectly worn out with fatigue. The
men carried down mattresses to the beach; the
wounded were lifted on them, and wero slowly
borne along. Every ono who could work lent a
hand with eagerness to this duty, which tne con
valescents of the hospital, bearing on their faces
the marks of recent suffering, discharged to the
now comers. A few of tho wounded were well
enough to walk, and cr< pt along supported by a
comrade, one with his arm in a sling, another with
his trousers cut open from tho hip to the knee, and
thighs swathed in bandages; another with his
hair clotted with blood and n ghnsriy wound on
the faco or hoad. On many the marks of approach
ing death wire set; every now and then there
was one too far gone to be carried to the hospital,
or whoaiiked to be laid down for a few moments’
rest on the wayside.
A Catholic priest was aotive among tho dying,
and might be seen bending over the ghastly forms
and whispering to tho "ars which were fast clos
ing to earthly sounds. Uo was an Irish monk of
Galata, who had presented himself on the first ar
rivtl of the wonnded. and had been eagor'y ro
ceivei by his dying fellow countrymen. The
Surgeons within were fully engaged, for the un
fortunates brought under their care had b;?on ta
ken four miles from tho place where they had
fallen to the beach, and then transported over 400
miles of sea, so that, whatever may have been the
oare of their former attendants, yot thoro was
much to be changed on their arrival, aud many
operations to be performed which had not boon
necosaary before, or which had been omitied
through/want of time, space or opportunity. About
700 were brought down by the Andes and Vulcan,
and the remainder are expected to-day in the Si
moon. It is believed aud hoped that the first were
the worst cases, and that no small number of those
expeoted will be able to resume their duty, if not
this year, at least in the ensuing spring.
Why the Allies Changed theiii tlan op Opera
tions against {Sevastopol. —Tho French Admiral
Hamelin in an effioial despatch, says:
It was not till the evening of the 23d that I could
reform the Marshal of tho desperate resolution
taken by the Russians to sink five ships and two
frigates at tho mouth of tho harbor of Sevastopol,
retaining only nine vessels in tho harbor (of
which two were throe reserved for tho
same fate, as we loarnod from Polish sailors who
deserted as soon as the fall of Sevastopol should
appear to be inevitable.
This news, which tho Marshal conld not help
regarding as deplorable, concurred to modify, in
more points of view than one, his pianos attack.
In fact, it had been in some sort admitted, that if
once Fort Constantino were taken and tbe batte
ries raised on tho north side were carriod, the
fleets then sntoring port by breaking the booms,
which not only complete the work of the army by
attacking the batteries on the sooth, but would
afford a f-nro assistance to that army—no matter
what the time and season—iu tbe harbor of Sevas
topol itself.
The blooking of this port changed, therefore, all
at once tho face of things aud as elsewhere, outer
works had been lately built ronnd Fort Constan
tine, so as to render ite approaches equally difficult
and destructive, the generals-in-chief decided on
turning Sevastopol by tho oast, and on throwing
their force to the south of the oity, iu ordor to at
tack it on that side which is hardly defended, if
at all, after they had put themselves into commu
nication with the fleets at Balaktava, and received
from them provisions and suunitions. This strato
getioal movement—rather a bold one for troons
completely deprived of provisions conveyed on
wheel*—was carried out on tho 24th, 25th, and
26th days of the month. The two armies having
orosßeJ the Belbeck some miles from its month,
deflected to the vulley of Inkermnn, tho French
army serving as a pivot to the extreme right and
eventually observing tho circular hill-plains to tbe
south and southeast of Sevastopol, at a short dis
tance in this wheeling movement, while the Eng
lish army, on the extreme lett advanced toward the
heights of Bal&kluva, which it readied on the
morning of the 25th. The French army joined it
24 hours after, that is to eay this morning.

The steamship Niagara reached her dock, in
Boston, at 11 A. M. on Friday. Iu addition to tho
sumnaury of the foreign news telegraphed from
Halifax, wo gathor some interesting items, respec
ting the war, which we present below. All the
London papers are completely filled with detailed
accounts of the movements of the Allies. The
Times of the 14th, says that tho victory of the
Alma has been celebrated there in a manner agree
able to the genius of the people—not by the dis
tribution of orders, or pompous ceremonial, but by
the appointment of a Royal Commission of tho
Patriotic Fund, for tho collection and distribution
of the monoy pouring in for the widows and
orphans of the soldiers,.- ailors and marines who
hare died in tho war.
Tho Times also remarks that tho return of the
French division of tbe fleet, together with Gen.
Baraguay d’Hilliers and tho land forces to Cher

for the present jeer, and tho suspension of any
further aotive operations until the spring of 1856.
From an Artillery Officer.
Balaxlata, Sept. 28.—We have boen marching
latterly through a difficult country, and have been
obliged to prooeed with great caution, huving had
two very strong positions to paßs, something of
tbe same nature as that on the Alma. The first
was on the latch a, a river running through a val
ley, with high grounds rising beyond it. The
valley appeared to be beautifully fertile, and vine
yards and gardens abounding in fruit of different
kinds, nearly ail ripo. You may inagino it was
pleasant enough to come across sueh places after
living on salt pork and bisquit for several days.—
Our men, however, ate the fruit eo immoderately,
and without dltorimination, (except that the un
ripe was rather the most popular with them,) that
they suffered from it very severely. At the next
place where we halted, ou tho Belbek, there were
600 loft behind when tho army marched, most of
them suffering from cholera. Near tho Belbek
there wa* a chateau, belonging, I beliovo, to a
•ussian nobleman.
It was charmingly situated, with pretty gardens
full of fruit. Lord Raglan made it his head-quar
ters for the night, but our advanced guard had got
into it beforehand, and made sad devastation in it.
Some of tho men brought into camp a mirror,
about sir feet high, the frame of which I soon saw
forming part of a camp fire. On Monday, the
26th, we wro within about two miles in a direct
line from Sebastopol, but were obligod to make a
very circuitous march to get round to tho back of
the town. Our road lay through a thick wood.
The artillery got in advanoo of the infantry, and
when the head of our column debouched from the
wood, wo founds body of Russians close upon
us. They are said to have boen 15,C00 strong,
and their object to have been to got into our rear,
or else to form a jnnotion with the garrieon ex
peoted from Anapa, and to bring ii forward to the
relief of Sebaetopol.
Any how, they did not calculate on meeting us
there, for directly we opened fire upon them thoy
made off, leaving behind a quantity of baggage,
ammunition and flour. It was fortunate for us
that they were not aware of our real position,
whioh was rather a critical one until we extricated
ourselves from the wood. They must have thought
that we were waiting for them, instead of being
surprised by them. Our gunners got hold of the
baggage of some general officer and his Btaff, for
they were soon laden with embroidered Hußsar
jackets, pelisses, and garments of various kinds.
They also got a quantity of jewelry and watches
and some, more lucky than the rcßt, got hold of
the General’s luncheon basket, and feasted on
wild boar washed down with champagne. We
marched that night down a hil (up which the Rus
sians had marched the same day,) and encamped
in a large plain.
The next morning we started from this posi
tion passing through a narrow gorge into another
plain, baoked up with high hills, beyond which
we could seo the »ea through one of the gorges.
We arrived at Balaklava. Here we found a fort,
which tbe Light Division proceeded to attack;
and, on gaining the heights, we came in view of a
part of the fleet lying off tae shore. After a little
•helling from both sides the fori surrendered, and
we are now occupying the village, around wk’cb
we are encamped. The steamers in the bay are
landing our siege guns as fast as they can, to com
menoe operations against the great place. Some
tbink that the resistance will not be very desper
-Bte, and tbat the garrison will only fire a few shots
to save their honor. Though not of the same way
Os thinking myself, I still hope it may so turn out,
as it will save a vast amount of bloodshed and
destruction to property, of which there has been
sufficient already. Another fortnight will probable
decide the affair.
Treatmxnt of the Wounded.— A letter from
Constantinople says: It is impossible for any one
to see the melanonoly sights of the last few days
without feelings es surprise and indignation st the
defleienees of our medical system. The manner
in which the sick and wounded have been treated
ia worthy only the savages of Dahomey. The
sufferings on board the Vulcan were bad enough.
There were 800 wounded, and 170 cholera pa
tients, and these were attended to by four sur
geons. The scene is described as terrible. The
wonnded seized the surgeons by the skirts as they
picked their way through the heaps of dying and
dead; but the surgeoDt shook them off. It may
be expected, and perhaps was right, that the offi
cer* should r*oeive the principal attention, and
they possibly require tbe almost undivided labor
of four men; but some one must be in fault wnen
i large bodies of wounded men are put on boara

i wounded officer*, 422 wonnded soldiers, and 104
- Buaaian pciaontra—in all 686 sou la.
, About n&if of Um wounded ted received sargi
cal assistance before they were put on board. To
supply the wants of this mass of misery, were four
medical men, one of whom was the surgeon of the
ship—sufficiently employed in looking af.er the
crew, who at this plgo* ami season, are seldom free
from bickness. The officers could not got below
to find their instruments, and the run was mado at
hazard. Tho vessel was at sea two! ve hours 10. ger,
through this mischance. Tho worst wore
placed on tho upper deok, which in a day or two
became a maps of putridity. The neglected gun
shot wounds brod nts, which crawled in every
direction, infecting tho food of the unhappy be
ings on board. The putrid animal matter canoed
such a fttnnch, that the officers and crow were
nearly nrareomo, the captain is now ill from
tbe fleets of the five days misery.
All T he b'ankers, to tho number of 1500, have

Funeral of Marshal St. Arnaud—Paris, Oct.
18.—An imperial decree orders that the funeral of
Marshal St. Arnand shall take place ct the public
expeußO. The ceremony will take place at the W
vnlidos, and his renialr.p will bo deposited in the
vaults of that church. The Pariß papers stale that
tlie English Government will send a small detach
ment of tho Guards to be present at the funeral of
Marshal St. Arnand.
The Times of tho 18th, speaks in thia wise of
Prussia:
“We aro not so sanguine as to expect that the
more loss ofßobastopol and the Crimea will induce
tho Czar to suo for poaco, though undoubtedly the
destruction of his power in tho Blaok Boa will
materirliy facilitate the terms ot that peace, when
o er it can be made. But this blow will go far to
i terminate tho contost, and, if it be prolonged, it is
mainly to the sapineness and doable dealingofthe
- Gorman Governments that Europe will attribute
' tbat calamity. Slioald the struggle be oontinuod
! next year, wo do not hesitate to express the opin
i ion that it would be better for ns to bo engaged in
i hostilities with Prussia, and to make her feel the
l weight of our Baltic fleet on her coast than to por-
I mit her to continue the frauds and evasions of tho
last few months. The chastisement of the insin
cere and pusillanimous Prince who roigns at Ber
i lin would be as popular throughout Europe as tho
overthrow of tho powor of Nicholas himself; andif
a firm alliance bo hereafter concluded between
England, France and Austria, the protection of
Russia will not save tho Prussian monarchy from
failing to a very different position from that which
it has tilled in Germany sinco tho peace of 1816."

Siege of Sevastofol.— The French and English
Gonerals have officially notified their governments
that on Sept. 23d, immediately on the roeoption
of the news of ihe battle of Alma, Menschikoff
sunk fivo of his line of battle ships, and two fri
gates in eight or ten fathoms water, thus com
pletely blocking up tho entrance to the harbor of
Sevastopol, ana preventing the possibility of an
attack by soa. These ships wero sunk with ail
their guns and stores on board, and rigging stand
ing.
The English are much incensed at this expedi
ent whioh has contributed to cause the Generals
to change their place of operations, and to attack
the South, instead of tho North side ofthe city.
It is said the Russians havo likewise sunk ships
aoross the Straits of Yenikio.
A letter in tho Times suggests that tho powerful
iron steamer Simoon, whioh is equivocal to a force
of 4,000 tons, should bo employed as a steam
battering-ram to force passages over the sunken
ships. This experiment will probably be tried.
From the present disposition of the’allied forces,
between Baiakiava and Cane Chersonese, it seems
that tho north sido of tho harbor is not invoetod,
and that tho whole country north of Sevastopol is
now evacuated by the aliiod forces, which, it is
likely, passed through it.
This supposition is confirmed by a statement in
despatches trom Admiral Dundas, dated Sep. 28th,
where he says that having sent the Btoamers Alfred
and Vosuvivs to Alma to oolleot the wounded
Russians, and convey thorn under a flag of truce
to Odossa, tho British Hospitals being full, his
force were threatened by a force of 6,000 Russians,
and had to ro ombark under cover of the ship’s
guns.
Two French and one English regiment from
Malta, will occupy tho Piraeus.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA,
Tho steamship Star oi tne W est pul into Norfolk

A Fortnight I ater from Oregon.
The steamer Columbia arrivod at San Francisoo
on tho 29th ult., bringing two weoks lator intelli
gence from Oregon:
Mr. John F. Noble, a resident of Vancouver,
l’uruisbes ti e Son Francisco Herald with the fol
lowing horrible details of the bloody massacre
committed by the Snake Indians, upon a party of
emigrants, near Fort Boise, in Oregon.
Ou the morning of tho 22d of August last, a
parly of eighteen men left Fort Boise, lor the pur
pose of rescuing three ladies and a number of
obildreu, who were supposed to bo in tho hands ot
a party of Winnass Indians, (ono of the small
tribes of Snake Indians, who Jive on Boise River,)
who attacked Mr. Alex. Ward’s train, from Mis
souri, on the 20th’of August, about noon, twenty-
Ive miles about Fort Boise, on tho south sido of
Boise River.
This party, on arriving at tho placo where the
first attack was made, found tho bodies of Alex.
Ward and his eldest son Robert, Samuel Mulligan, -
Charles Adams, Win. Babcock, and a Gorman,
name unknown.
From the statement of the surviving b'y, New
ton Ward, it would appear that no effectual re
sistance was offered by any of the party, except
Dr. Adams and Mulligan, who fought bravely.
Following the trail, in about three hundred
yards, the body of young Amon was found, a lad
of seventeen yoars of age; (he vras one of the seven
who came to the rescue on the day of the attack,
with Wm. Yantis.) This young man fought with
great valor, pursuing tho Indians to the bushes,
where he was killed. About one hundred yards
further on, the body of Miss Ward was found,
having been shot through tho hoad with a musket
ball. Her person was much biuised, her bauds
showing signs of her having fought most despor 1
ately to resist the fiendish attacks of those savages
upon her youthful person. Tho marks of toeth
wero plainly implanted upon her left cheek ; a hot
piece of iron had been thrust into her doubtless
while alive, to punish her for her resistance, and
their being unable to accomplish their hellish ends
upon ono so young. Within a few rods of this
spot a wagon had been burned, and the bodies of
two dogs found crisped up.
About fifty yards on, in the brush, three more
wagons wore burned. The trail was followed up,
ar.d in aoout six hundred yards the body of Mrß.
White (the wife of Wm. White, who lives in
Looking-glass Prairio ; Umpqua Valley,) wasfound
stripped ot her clothing, and scalped. Her head
was beaten in by clubs, and also a musket ball bad
passed through her hoad. Her person showed
Bigns of the most brutal violence.
The trail was followed from her, and in about
half a mile through a donso thicket of brush and
undergrowth, the fifth wagon was found, having
boen ran into a deep ravine and left.
In about thirty yards further, came to the river,
upon the north bank of which was discovered
where they had fceou encamped; it consisted of 18
lodges made of willow bushos. Here the body of
Mrs. Ward and three ohildren were found. Mrs.
Ward was lying in the encampment in fiontofa
fire, her person having been robbed of all cover
ing, and her body much ent and Boarrod by bru
tish braises. Her face had a deep wound inflicted
by a tomahawk, which probably caused her death.
The children wore lying npon the fire in front of
her, having evidently been burned alive, as a por
tion of the hair stiil remained npon their heads,
showing they had been held by the hair of the
head antil burned to death, in front of their moth
er, and she doubtless compelled to witness this
whilst they had their war dance, and they viola
ted her person. She was soon to be a mother, which
rendered the sight still more shocking. Several
parts of limbs were picked up some distance from
the fire, having boen dragged away by the wolves,
or the Indian dogs, for several had been left in
the camp by them. Having scarce any imple
ments, the bodies were interred in the beßtman
ner possible, under the circumstances.
There were still a lad and five children missing.
A diligent search was made for their bodies with
out success. From the statements of the surviv
ing boy, it was known that thin tad was wounded
and ran to the bushes, and has probably since
died; and it is more than possible that the three
ohildren are still captives, or reserved tor some
future barbarous ceremony.
From the statement of Mr. Masterson, who is a
brother of Mrs. Ward and Mrs. White, it appears
that the booty that the Indians carried off, consis
ted of forty-one head of cattle, five horses, and
about |2oo or sßoo in money, besides guns, pis
- foies etc.
i The party of seven finding the Indians greatly
superiorin number , wero obliged to abandon tho
i pursuit. William Yantis,on returning to the scene
! of the first attaok, discovered Newton Waid, al&d
I about thirteen years of age, the only survivor of
1 the party, severely wounded, and brought him off
! iu safety.
Wehavenewsof the murder of three men on
3 Cemerse Prarie, which is on Jeffries and McAr
thur’s cut off. I have ihe atory from a mau who
5 was at the spot a few momenta after it occurred.
1 The Indians rode np to three men, (who were
» driving the lonse cattle au ■ horsese of the train,)
1 and shook hands with them in the friendliest
i manner possible ; but as soon as these men had
e turned their backs upon them to pass on, they
shot them. The Indians then drovo oJ ali the
loose cattle and horses belonging to the train.
Major Raynee, (Commander at Fc. Dal.es) im
mediately, upon the reception of the news, sent
out about 30 regulars, and tbe same nnmber ot
volunteers —all mounted, and under the command
of Major Haller. They are probably near Snake
River at this date.
It is that portion of the Snake tribe living be
tween Fori Hal! and tho;Grande Ronde, that ap
pear to be the most hostile. They are very well
supplied with American rifles and Hudson Bay
Co ’s guns. They h ve plenty of ammunition,
which they are constantly getting from the H. B.
Co’s posts. And the attempt of the government
to punish these Indiana wilt be attended with
more expense than any Indian war we have had
ere the places from which tho
above named party emigrated:
Alexander Ward, wife and seven children, Sam
uel Muliagin. and Mr. Babcock, (lawyer) from
Lexington, Missonri.
Dr. Adams and brother, from Michigan.
Mrs. vVhiteand child, from Missonri. Thehns
band of Mrs. White is supposed to live in L'mpqna
county.
Mr. Amon, from Missonri.
Two Germans and a Frenchman—names not
known. ,
This mtaaaore haa oreated great excitement in
Oregon, end the acting Governor has issued a pro
clamation calling for two companies of volunteers
of 80 men e«ch, to arm, equip and mount them
selves, to chastise the savagea whohave committed
this bloody deed. The two companies were quick
ly raised and were ready for action.

Profitable Gold Diooinos Discovered in Wash
inoxon iKßidr-ar.—A correspondent of he Ore
gonian, wm> is vouched tor by tbe editor, writos
from st. Holeu’s uu ier date of Sept. 11, that a pro
fitable gold fluid hsd been discovered in theoouu
try, embraced by tho north and east forks of the
Catapoodle River in Washington Territory.
A party from the neighborhood ot Vancouver,
sons I betiova of Mr. Switzlur—have visited tho
region, and aro encouraged from what thoy saw to
return immediately, having washed from six pan
fuls of earth gold dn»t of a beautiful character,
estimating to be worth seventy five cents; in other
words, they extracted twelve and a half cents
worth of gold from every pan of earth. Another
party from this vicinity, altar prospecting several
weeks, have decided on commencing operztions,
and havo according sent in a portion of their num
ber t make the necessary preparations with regard
to food and implements. It is their belief that
handsome wages may ba made, as two hundred
panfuls of earth, it is estimated, will readily yield
from four to fivo dollars, aud that, too, without
tho nse of tho “long tom” or meroury. As the
gold is guerally of a Hue oharuoter, it is needless
to remind your readers that the result would bo
muoh more favorable wore the “long tom" or mer
cury used. A more remarkable atateiuaut is made
by another party, who have visited the region in
tervening between the bead waters of the Oata
poodle aud Yakima rivers, and one that almost
staggors belief; it is that every panfu! of earth
washed returned forty-eight cents worth of gold I
Taking the least favorablo of tho above acoounts,
t it would appear from the calculations of practice
. minors that something in the neighborhood of sl<
f a day may bo safely calculated on, provided th<
facilities for washing the gold aro at all within roa
f sonablo reach.
Ut«r from tlie South.
By the Goliah we havo Loss Angelos papers o]
1 the 21st, and tho Diego Herald of the 16th.
| From the San Diego Herald we tako the follow
ing:
Mr. Henry Livingston, to whom we aro in
-1 debtod for the following important items of intel
ligence trom Souors, arrived in this oity on Sunday
last, accompanied by Messrs. John Stein and
Samuel Simon.
During the two days’ stay of Mr. L. at the cross
ing of the Colorado, a report was brought to the
effect tbat a company of immigrants, composed of
50 persona, all from Texas, were murdered near
tho Pimos Village, by a band of Apaches, on the
81st of August. There were several women and
children in tho train, whom, it is feared, wero
doomed to a moro horrid fate. All tho cattle, 600
in number, were carried off by the Indians, leav
ing the wagons in tho road. This nows was
brought by a train which was at the timo a few
hours travel in their rear, but which happily
escaped attack.
Noar Tueson, about tho samo time, a party of
20 Americans wero eating their dinner when a baud
of 15 Indians made a descent npon them, and
carried off seven of their finest horses, without a
shot being fired by either party, although the
Americans wero well armed, out numbered them,
and witnossod tbo outrage.
Another party, a few miles the other side of
Tousou, were attceked, ono American killed, and
twonty-seven horses takon. The parties before
mentioned wero all from Texas.
Tho Apachos are becoming more troublesomo
and moro appalling each day, and almost each
train which enters their range, will bo more or
less harrassed by them.
It is rumored at tbe river tbat moro immigrants
are ou this roato, through Texas, than have boen
before.
Mr. L. came from Caborea by theTinijalta Trail,
and learned from some Mexioans tbat he met,
that during the last two months, some twenty-five
Americans had perished for want of water on thiß
rout 6. Among them was a Mr. Douglass, of Sum
ner county, Tonn., who had been iu California
since 1849. Also, one man from Pennsylvania,
name forgotten.
Mr. Livingston left San Franoisoo in February
last, on board tho bark Potrila, bound for Guay
mas. His intention was to find, if posaible, some
mines whioh ho believed wero situated in the
northern part of Sonora. Soon after the confir
mation of the treaty between the United States and
Mexico, ceding to us a portion of Senora, Ac., ha
proceeded as far inland as Alta, where he retnaiu
o : three weeks, thence proceeded to Pilaquitas,
16 miles east of Alta. Here he stopped until the
setting in of tho rainy season, occupying Lis time
in examining tho country in that vicinity, taking
with him two of the ludianß known as the Papa
goes, to guide him to the already discovered gold
anti silver mines. On tlie Ist of July, ho extend
ed his search to Sonoita, where ho found Mexicans
engaged in grinding quartz and extracting gold
therefroi.. These had no other than their own
simple toc.s, tho batca or wooden bowl, in which
to wash, after digging the quartz with a small bar
of iron, and crushing it between two stones. By
this process, they were making from $2 to $4 per
day to tho hand. Ho then continued southward
90 miles to Cluiquator, noar whioh he found other
parties of natives engaged in a manner similar to
those before mentioned. In this part of the coun
try ho s.iffered innumerable hardships, being fre
quently without water for two or three days at a
time, and upon oue occasion he would have diod
From exhaustion in the mountain fastnesaes, unat
tended and unknown, but for some friendly Papa
goes, who found him in a helpless condition, and
boie him twenty fivo miles to where tio could get
water. Even thiß did not deter him from the
prosecution of his self imposed task.
He searched and prospected in every direction,
and tbe result is that he has discovered some of
the richest deposites of gold and silver over found
in that section of ti e continent. He discovered a
miuo of silver, tho “blossom” of which extended
for three rnilos, varying from two to five inehes in
width upon the s. rfaco. Although his researches
for gold were eminently sncoesstnl, and he assures
us that, parties of miners would do a very good
business in them, he intends devoting his atten
tion exclusively lo the working of the above men
tioned silver mine, ar d for that purpose ho will
proceed to San Francisco, on the steamer Goliah,
with a view to the organisation of proper com
pany to consist of 100 men, well armod, with at
least ono revolver and a rifle eaob, and the whole
to possess a capita! of 114,000 with which to pur
chase tho requisite machinery for suooessful silver
mining. He feels that it would be an act of injus
tice to himself wore he to make publio the precise
location of the mino, sb ho has risked hia life to
find it.

TBE ElNo’e MESSAGE TO THE HOUSE OF NOBLES.

I thank you for tho acts that you have reoom

The King’s Message to the lower House, bring

more lengthy, but not quite so “gracious.”
Hepreeentatives of my People:
After a session of unprecedented length, I re

Honoldlc a Fbef. Pori.—This port, and all ports

16th of September. The following iB the preoise
wording ot the act as it passed the Legislature:—
“ that after the day which thia act shall take ef
fect, no tonnage dues shall bo levied in any port
of the Hawaiian Islands on any vessel, whether
Hawaiian or foreign.”
Annexation.— A Honolulu correspondent of the
Alta Californian says:
Not a little surprise and some amusement was
experienced here on the reception of the N. York
Tribune of Juiy2Bd, containing a statement that
Hawaii was all but aunexod, the ouly question re
maining to settle being whether we were to come
in as a state or territory i A sort of viva vote pell
was taken all along one street on the same day,
(Ist. inst.,) and “ State” appeared to have quite a
decided majority. The natives got hold of the
story inan exaggerated form, and not a little indig
nation appeared to be felt at the idea of their be
ing sold out with the islanos liko the serfs on a
Russian estate. The Britishers were especially
indignant, and declared thoir intention, pretty
generally, of palling np stakes, should it be true
that the infernal annexing Yankees were coming
this way, nor did a recommendation to emigrate
to the East Indies in the leaat soothe thoir wound
el feelings. “As for say single BOlf,” I *m still a
“Know Nothing” in these matters, not being pri
vileged behind the curtain, and can only aay “very
possible," "hhould’nt wonder,” or some such
thing, equally satisfactory and conclusive, I am
content, however, to await the i»Bue, satisfied that
tho wheel of progress will not be accolcated or
retarded ono whit by the aquirmings of such a
worm as myself and that we shall all come out
“ right side up.”
The Californian also says:
It appears tbat tho House of Nobles have been
investigating the statements in regard to the
cession ot the islands to the United States, and
appear to be entire “ Know-Nothings’' on the
whole subject.

Wreck of the Brig Adi le—Fight Lire* Lost—
Bufferings of (lie Survivors.
Aspinwall, Oet. IS.—The brig Alvaro, Captain
O'Brien, sailed from Now York on the 18 !i ult.,
bound to Aspinwali. When in lat. 28 deg. 12 min.
N., Capt. O’Brien discovered a wreck about four
miles distant, and thinking hoßnw some person on
the wreck, waving a hat, ho immediately bore down
toward it. The wind at tho timo being very light
and variable, and night ooming on, ho thought he
heard three distinct knocks os if a person was strik -
ing something hollow. Ho instantly took a largo
pioco of rope (it being dark at the timo,) etui stuck
three times on the bulwarks of his own vessel, and
listening, could boar the same noise as be bourd
before. At 8 o'olock that night bo came close to
the wreck and hailed, and was answored by a fee
ble voice asking to come on board.
He immediatly lowcrered his bout, and took
from tho wreck George Touro, an Italian by birth,
whose family reside in Philadelphia The poor
fellow had orawled to the cabin and go* in an empty
barrel, and with a belaying pin was striking on its
bead, wbioh made thoHoundsCaptain O’Brkin had

: nine persons, including a young man as p-t. our-cr;

’ that both masts were carried away close to reo e'er.lt,
with yurds, sails, rigging, arid every thing aituch

[ off into tbo trough of the sea, wnich earned «, y

’ liugerod in great agony untd tbo morning of the
Btb, when death put an end to his sufferings. Tho
survivors wero then without water.
On the evening of tbesame dry the Captain died
of thirst; only two men were left, nntnoly, tlie
cook and George Touro. On the 15th tho cook
died. Several vessels passed during the woek,
but the wreok was so low in tho water, it conla
not be seen ot any groat distanco. On tho 10'h
Touro oaught a little water from a shower. H*
bad plenty to eat, but was without water curing
twelve days.
On tho morning of tho 21st of September he
caught several buckets of water. When the poor
follow reaohed the deck of the Alvaro, ho was so
woak he could not stand. It boing dark, Captain
O’Brien did not think it prudent to stay by tlic
wreck, esthe water was washing over the ill fated
brig, and there was ovory proi-jiact of a storm.
Captain O'Brien took tho poor shipwrecked sailor
in ms cabin, and furnished him with clothes, and
treated him with tho greatest care and alt ntion,
doing all in his power to make him comfortable
end happy.
