high satisfaction at the manner in which the troops

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND,

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
GALICIANNOLIIINIAN FRONTIER, July 2.
The combined expedition from Galicia to Vol
hynia, after being organised, disorganised, and re•
organised on various plans, was declared ready for
the frontier last week, and on Sunday the points of
rendezvous were made known, and orders issued to
assemble the same evening. Three thousand names
had been inscribed, and arms for that number of
men concealed in the woods near the border, but so
many seizures were made by the Austrian soldiers
and police that, at the last moment, it was found
impossible to arm more than 2,000. Then came the
news that Minniewski, who was to command the
left wing, and who had more than the usual diffi
culties to contend with in getting his force together,
would not be ready to cross with the main body ;
and, ultimately, when the centre, under General
Wysocki, and the right wing, under Colonel Horo-
dinski, had succeeded in reaching the forests which
extend from Galicia far away into Volhynia, it ap-
peared that between them they could only muster
from 1,100 to 1,200 men. With this very small
army, in two divisions, it was resolved to attack
Radziwilow, the nearest Russian town to the Aus-
trian frontier town of Brody ; and it was hoped that
if it were taken Minniewski would be able to enter
the place the next day with 500 new troops. To
wait for Minniewski was impossible, as there was
reason to believe that the Austrians were already
on the track of Wysocki and Horodinski; indeed,
the rear guard._ of
_the latter had scarcely crossed
when the approach of. Aastrian troops was An-
nounced, and some of the Polish gentlemen of the
neighbourhood who had undertaken to see the de-
tachment to the frontier would, but for the darkness
and storminess of the night, in all probability have
been made prisoners.
The plan agreed upon was that Wysocki and
Horodinski should both make for Radziwilow—
the former from the immediate neighbourhood, the
latter from a point about six English miles to the
south. If Horodinski was attacked first Wysocki
was to march to his assistance. Otherwise, it was
the intention of Wysocki to remain on the defensive
in the woods before Radziwilow until Horodinski
announced his approach.
This plan for various reasons could not be carried
out. Wysocki, pursued by the Austrians, had to
take a difficult and circuitous road to the border, or
he would have been stopped before he had fairly
started, and when he had at last got over his men
had marched nearly 30 miles and had eaten nothing
for 24 hours. Worse than that, it was 7 in the
morning, and there were no signs of Horodinski,
who had promised to advance towards Radziwilow
at daybreak, and expected either to arrive there at
3 o'clock, or, in the event of being attacked by
superior force, to receive aid from Wysocki within
an hour, at the utmost, from the commencement of
the battle.
However, at about 8 o'clock some 800 Russians
had collected outside Radziwilow, and were gradu-
ally improving their position, when Wysocki, though
still ignorant as to the position of Horodinski, found
it necessary to attack them. The oppoing forces
were nearly equal, but the Russians, it is to be pre-
sumed, bad had a few hours' sleep, and something
to eat the day before, and had not worn themselves
out by a march of 30 miles. There was plenty of
cover on both sides, the Poles firing for the most
part from a forest, while the Russians aimed coolly
and quietly enough from a field of rich, ripe corn,
which if it could not protect at least sufficed to con-
ceal them. Between the wood and the wheat there
were a few houses and huts, chiefly inhabited by
Jews. Here a number of Russian sharpshooters
established thpraselves, and for some time kept up a
murderous fire, from which the Poles could only
save themselves by burning the miniature village.
When the Russians came out they were charged
and driven into the corn by a company of sithemen.
This was the only instance of anything like hand-
toland fighting throughout the battle. No cavalry
were engaged, there were no bayonet charges, nor
was a single volley fired. The Russians, like the
Poles, fought in open order from beginning
to
end, and did not once give them the oppo.ro

to the frontier and entered Galicia without being
pursued. If Wysocki
had been able to keep his ap-
pointment Radziwilow might, and doubtless would,
have fallen into the possession of the Poles. As it
was, Horodinskits corps was so fearfully cut up and
so completely beaten that Wysocki, when be came
up at seven, could see no signs of its having been
any where the appointed place of meeting. He did
not even " know the right wing had passed the fron-
tier until the news was given him by an English
gentleman who had gone as an amateur to visit
Radziwilow under the impression that it was
already in the hands of Wysocki, and who, finding
that a battle was going on, and perceiving that
"some one had blundered," went into the thick of
the fire and told the General that he had seen Ho-
rodinski cross over into Volhynia the night before.
Wysocki thought that if he went on fighting Ho-
rodinski must soon be near enough to hear the
firing; but Horodinski was dead. He had fallen in
a desperate hand-to.hand struggle in the middle of
the market-place of Radziwilow at the head of his
troops, urging and calling them on to the very last.
It is feared that Major Sykiewicz, who commanded
the infantry, shared his fate. My informant saw

this head, for no detachment with so many atilledl
officers as that of Horodinski possessed had appeared
in Poland since the beginning of the insurrection.
Ultimately Wysocki; after holding a coancil of
war, decided on Wednesday evening to repass the
part

of his men, in Galicia. Ido not think the entire
number of killed and wounded in Wysocki's corps
can have amounted to anything like a hundred, wed
very few indeed fell into the hands of the Austriens.
The arms they left in a place of safety.

in filling up the gaps along what appeared to be a
very long line, considering the small number of men
engaged, fell just at the end of the action, which
lasted from 8 until 12, and again from about a
quarter-past 12 until 2.
In spite of the report spread a few days ago that
Colonel Jordan had been killed while leading the
centre of the last detachment which left Western
Galicia for the Kingdom of Poland (1,100 strong,
in three separate bodies), it appears now, to the
great joy of his
numerous friends,that he is alive,
and not very seriously wounded. About 200 of the
entire force are said to have penetrated into the
kingdom. The rest were either killed, wounded,
and, made prisoners, or driven back into Galicia.
Among the dead are several young men belonging
to the principal families in Poland.
Colonel Jordan was chief of Dembinski's staff
during the Hungarian war. He is the head of the
military division of Cracow and Sandomir, and the
last expedition but one which entered the kingdom
from Cracow in any force—the one in which Nullo
was killed—left under his direction, though not, as
many journals have stated, under his personal com-
mand. Before the whole corps could be got into
the presence of the enemy the first companies were
prematurely routed, and the general did not make
his appearance on the other side of the frontier at
all.

stances under which Mielencki joined the insur-
gents in the first instances are rather remarkable.

resi'denee, he was out riding one day, when he found

a priest belonging to ono of the newly formed de-
taehments defending himself against three Cossacks,

who had surrounded and were threateniu him.
Rlieleneki 'rode -tit 'to" the grout), wrested the fence
from the grasp of the Cossack nearest to him, ran
him through, attacked the second, and put the third
to flight, Cossack No. 2 following soon afterwards.

The insurgents, who had witnessed Mielencki's ex-
ploit from a distance, now came up, asked Mielencki
who he was, to possess such daring and such dex-
terity in the use of arms and yet not belong to the

insurrection, and ultimately entreated him to take
the command of their detachment. Mielencki would
not hear of such u thing. He explained that be was
married, and bad not been married very long, and

hat it aid not enter into his views to desert his

'amily ; but no such excuses availed him. The in-
surrection claimed him for her own. Mielencki
had full permission given him to write a letter to
his wife apologising for not returning home so soon
as he had originally intended, and then was hurried
off to the theatre of war, where one cannot help
thinking, from the zest with which he entered into
the spirit of the performance, that he wished in his
heart to be from the very first moment.
According to the Gazeta Nat odowa of Lemberg,
there were 13 officers and 140 soldiers killed, and
240 soldiers wounded in the railway accident with
a purpose done not long since at Malkinia. Railway
travelling is not a very agreeable mode of locomo-
tion just now on the Polish lines. It is bad enough
if the engine-drivers and conductors are in the ser-
vice (as most of them notoriously are) of the Na-
tional Government. If they are not in its service
the case is rather worse, as the rails are taken up
without their knowledge. Then, instead of driving
the train quietly to the place where the insurgents
are waiting to fall upon the soldiers, they go on to
ers suer a.
the dangerous point at the usual pace, and t
ffhe result
is a shock from which all passeng
The train, however, which is said to have been
smashed to pieces at Malkinia seems to have car-
ried soldiers alone.

troops were conveyed they would have nothing to
fear, and as there were no troops at the station the
travellers took their
places, made themselves com-
fortable, and went off in peace. It was not until
they arrived at the next station they discovered
that at the very last moment four luggage Tans,
containing a company of infantry, had been hooked

OAK SILK NV ORMS.—The culture of the oak silk-
worm, from Japan, is not the least interesting of
the attempts made in this direction. A few grammes of its
eggs, sent to the Imperial Acclimatation Society, were con-
fided to some of its members. Other eggs, placed in M.
Guerin Meneville's hands by Dr. Blether, were distributed
by that gentleman amongst agriculturists, who not belonging
to the society, could not profit by the distribution made to
its members. It is now possible to form some idea of
the results obtainable from the oak silkworm, M. Guerin
Meneville having presented to the Aced6mie des
Sciences coccoons produced by worms hatched from the
eggs that had been confided to him. Those eggs although
hatched somewhat prematurely, gave caterpillars which
have been successfully reared at divers and distant points
of Franco—at Vincennes for instance, and at Toulon ;
and, above all, the caterpillars feed and thrive on the
leaves of the common oaks of the forest, Quercus pedun-
culata and sessiflora. But besides the Japanese silkworm
of the oak, there is another oak silkworm obtained
from the north of China. The introduction of this
valuable species, which had been vainly attempted for the
last ten years, is now in the way of being accomplished .
Larva), hatched on the 19th of May last, had already, at the
time of writing, reached their second moult or change of
skin without manifesting the slightest symptom of disease.
Their colour at first was deep black. They afterwards be-
came bright green, studded with orange and sky-blue
tubercles. If their introduction succeed, it will supply,
during the cotton dearth, the material for one more branch
of industry.—Dtckens's " All the Year Round."
