tiou of his Excellency all the officers and men mentioned
by him. Of Capt. Gall himself Imust in justice add that a
more able, zealous, and hard-wotking officer I have never
met with, nor one more worthy of distinction. Of Capt.
Orr, 3d Regiment Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, and the
officers and men under his command, I have already had
reason to send the most favourable report to the Resident at
Hyderabad. On this last occasion nothing could surpass the
bravery shown by all ranks of this regiment. Capt. Orr him-
self is, I, consider, a first-rate cavalry officer ; his daring
courage is admired by all, and in -very affair in which he
is engaged his personal combats are most prominent fea-
ture 3. To Capt. Hungerford, Comniandant of Artillery
Malwa Field Force; and to Capt. 'Woolcombe, commanding
No. 4 Light Field Battery, and the officers and men under
their command, my best thanks are due. Ido not think
artillery practice could have been better; and there can be
but little doubt that the successful issue of operations is
much to be attributed to their assistance. Of the conduct
of Capt. Brown, and the officers and men of the B Company
Madras Sappers and Miners, I have much pleasure in
speaking in the highest terms ; whether as sappers or as
infantry, they have distinguished themselves on every oc-
casion. They have undergone an incredible amount of.
hard labour during our late march with a siege train over
a country without roads; nor muss I omit to mention
that they accompanied the storming parties into the vil-
lage of Goraria, and proved of the greatest service. My
best thanks are also due to Major Keane, and the officers
and mm of the detachment of her Majesty's 86th Regi-.
meat ; the gallantry of all ranks was most conspicuous,
and, on both occasions that the village was assaulted, the
coolness and daring of the officers and men, at whose head
Major Keane placed himself, elicited the prai,=e of all.
My despatch from Dhar will have made-his Excellency the
Commander-in-Chief aware of the very high opinion I
held of Major Robertson, and the officers and men of the
25th Regiment Native Infantry. Ddring the late opera,
dons nothing could have been finer:than the behaviour of
.all in this regiment. Major Robertson distinguished him-
self on the 21st inst. as field officer of the day in the dis-
position of the picquets, which duty I entirely confided ,o
him, and by theikilful manner in which he met the attack
made upon him in force on the afternoon of tbat day._
Dating the succeeding days Major Robert Son rendered me
the greatest assistance ; the-manner in which he led his
regiment on two occasions to storm the village of Goraria
is beyond praise, and I consider that the admirable conduct
of the 25th Regiment N.I. fully attests the worth of this
officer, who will, I hope, meet with some mark of dis-
tinction. In the praise conveyed to Captain Little, 24th
Regiment Native Infantry, by his commanding officer, I
quite ooncar ; and trust that his Excellency may be able to
grant some mark of favour to this deserving officer. In the
two attacks on the village of Goraria, I could see no dif-
tat enoe between the conduct of the men of the 25th Regi-.
menu Native Infantry and their comrades of her Majesty's
86th Regiment; the same daring and gallantry character-
ised both. Their list of casualties will show how warmly
they_ were engaged ; and I trust his Excellency will recog-
nise the merits of this regiment. Before closing this de-
spatch I beg to report on the admirable conduct of Assist-
ant-Surgeon Butler, 4th Company 2d Battalion Artillery,
who, during the engagemant on the 23d instant, though
suffering severely from sickness, left his dooley, and was
engaged in the most active manner' during the whole day
in assisting to administer comfort to the wounded. The
-conduct of this officer has been brought to my notice by the
Staff Surgeon of the Force, and will, I trust, meet with
some reward.---I have, &c.,
