At about 5 o'clock tho smokti lifted again, curried away by a gust of wind. At this momtnt 1 saw before the redoubt, down near Plevna, a mass of Ktissinn soldiers rise up in a field of Indian corn-, and push' forward with n Bliout..

Either tho Turks were abandoning these rodoubts or they were- lying behin--| tb* parapet awaiting the attack, Which was it?, we nekerl. The question wm won answered. 'J he Russian shot had scarcely died away when there flash, ed along th parapet of the redoubt a stream of fire- that swayed back- Ward like a current of electricity, while the saooke rose over the re. doubt in one heavy white mass. One continuous crash filled the air with bullets, from which, to the spectator looking on, it did-not seem possib.'o for even a rabbit to escape. Into this storm of bullets plunged the Kusslaus with a shout as though ofj'iy, and thn disappeared into a Utile hollow, and for tbe moment wero lost to view. Then they emerg ed again, dissappenrai in the low ground at the foot ,oi tlio glnri3, rushing onnard as though the" bul- K-tswero but paper pellets, but, alasl ^adly dinunislied iu nrunbtr. Would it be p.ossiblo for tUom to reach the parapet? Was it possible for flesh and blood to break that circle of lire ? To mo it seemed utterly out of the question'.

While waiting tosi e them enierge from this little hollow my excite ment was so gro'at, my hand trembl ed so, that 1 could not hold the field glass to my eyes, and tor the mo ment was obliged to trust my naked vision. They were evidently very near the redoubt. A rush might do it. Victory was almost within their grasp, but they required a fresh ac cession ol strength; a rush of new men frem behind; another wave coming forward with new impetus to carry the first up over the glacis ; a second wave, ani perhaps a third, e ich bringing new impulsion, new stiength..

I looked in vain. ily heart sank within me, for I saw that ail this bravery, all this loss of life, would be useless. While these poor fellows were madly fighting t-ir lives away by hundreds in a desperate struggle, when the victory was trembling in the balance, not a man was sent to help them They were left to die overwhelmed, broken, vanquished j it was sublime and was pitiful. ] see a few of them strugg e up the glaciB ono by one. They are not followed, and here they come again, a confused- mass of human beings rushing madly back across the corn-field, loss than half of those who went forward. When this disorderly remnant was seen flying back, broken, destroyed, two more battUions were sent back to pick them up, and carry them back to the" i assault, i Two more battallions 1 They might as well havo bnt a corporal; and two morq^jnen.

Gen. Krilofl'sent two battalions, and that when it was too late. The poor fellows went over the hill singing gaily, and disap peared in the fog and smoke. I could have cried for pity, for I knew that most of them went uselessly to simple slaughter, it was impossible for tbesa fresh battalions to renew the assault with the slightest chance of success. These two battalions, like the rest were doomed to almost certain destruction. IU11THH. j VValiue. Near Acton, on tho 27th ult., the wif of Mr. Win. Waldie, of n daughter. McGiiEoon.
