tion is a strong one, though too near the Russian posts
at Grosnaya and Vozdinjania. It is eighteen miles from
Tehakkeri, which is about eighteen miles south-east.
Shamil's authority throughout the mountains was much
strengthened by the events of last year's campaign, so
disastrous to the Russian arms. lle established a more
regular system of administration, and during the winter
exercised his power in various acts of hostility against
the Ru.isian frontier and depencies.
" At an early period he made an inroad across the
Sulak into Taski; he then crossed over the Curras into
Ahuska and Karsmalki, and at one time he threatened
to break into the province of Kahetie. But these de-
monstrations seemed principally intended to keepup the
confidence of the disaffected among
,the tribes which
have submitted to Russia, or to harass the Russian
troops, by compelling them to move during the incle-
mency of the winter. But he has lately accomplished an
enterprise more daring than any which he ever before
attempted.
" In the early part of April, Lieutenant-General
Freytag, who commands on the left flank of the Russian
line of the Caucasus, receiving notice that Shamil was
assembling a large force at SIAN ii Great Tchetchnaya,
six miles distant from Tohaklierii messengers were in-
stantly sent in consequence to every part of the Russian
line, and four battalions were detached by Lieutenant-
General Ilarford, from Mosdak, as a reinforcement to
Grosnaya.
" On the evening of the 115th April, Shama moved
from Shalii, and crossing the Russian line of communi-
catien between Grg§naytt 444 Techakkeri, he came on

the 27th upon the river Sundja, between the Russian
forts Karak Kitcha and Zahanyourt. The force he had
with him is stated to have consisted of from 6,000 to
8,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and six guns. After
crossing the river he reached, on the 29th, Constanti-
nofsky, the chief place of the Little Kabards, whence he
rapidly advanced to the river Tcherek. He crossed that
river at a point opposite to the Stanitza of Urich, where
2,000 Russians, under Colonel Sit kovick, were
This small body maintained their ground with great bra-

of their assailants. Sh4mil having by this movement placea
himself on the great military road leading from Georgia
to Russia, moved along that road to Minaret, where it
was thought he would entrench himself, but probably
seeing that the position was open to attack in Ibed
rear from Wladileowhas, as well as in front, he remainet
there only a day, and then pushed forward into the grea..

with little opposition. He was, indeed, met at the

The Russian troops were not idle during alit:hes:-
