The capture of the Fuailiers anxious for the " ety ot Lieutenants Hensley and tel-lee and me enemy's guns ot the position and Maxims is understood to have caused heavy ions to the enema]. The reconnaissance forced the enemy to fully disclose his position. and, after a strong counter attack on our right, the Infantry brigade and cavalry, had been repulsed, the troops were slowly withdrawn to camp, pickets being left on observation. Late in the engagement the naval contingent. under Capt. Tumblon. ot H. M. B. Powerful, came into action and silenced, with their extremely accurate tire, the enemy's guns of posijion. ”WWW...

Carlton's column are but from reports received the column appears to have carried out the night march unmoiested. until within two some of them were silenced.

The British nerve was momentarily Shaken by Gen. White's use or tho word "catpitulate" in his first tele- Tram; but, now that it; is known that tho Glotwtstevs and Fusiliers fought, back to the wan, against overwhelm- ing odds and upheld the best traditions of the Brltlih army, the tension has been relieved, since there is no longer ground to dread that the toss of Mn and men was tsreomptnted by dtattonor. NOT FULL BATTALIONS. "The want of 51100093 of the column was due to the misfortune at the mules stampedlng. and the conse- queut. loss ot the guns and small arm ammunition and the reserve.
