the morning, when they went in at the Persian
troops—the 3d cavalry, Poona, horse, and artil-
lery braving the battle. The Persians formed
square, and the cavalry charged clean, through it :
went threes about on the other side, and charged
back ; threes about and back again a third time ;
the artillery also playing upon the square. All say
that the cavalry charge was one of the most splendid
over witnessed. :They left about 1,000 dead on the
field ; and the quantity of wounded must have been
immense. Our troops had do come back into
camp by a forced march ; and were four hours
coming through the Marshella,' a swamp.
Some—in fact all—came back in a dreadful
state ; they, were panic-struck as they neatedour
camp—men came in in mkses of mud, dropping
from fatigue. They were all singing out that the enemy
wereattacking the rear, and crying out to pass the
word for the cavalry and Poonahorso, but they were in
the rear coming in with the two captured guns and
prizes. We were kept at our guns till nearly mid-
night; and I kept trailing my gun from one side
to another, according as we heard the volleys of
the stragglers coming in ; and no end of cries that
the enemy are coining in the rear. When the bugle
was sounded three of us went out, armed, to pick
up stragglers. _One wounded man , was bundled
out of his dhooly, the bearers running away, leav-
ing the poor fellow on the ground with the calf of
his leg shot off by a round shot. I returned, and
took him back in a dhooly, but he died ju=t after
he came in. We were but till two in the morning,
having picked up ten unfortunate devils, who could
not move, some of them asking vs-to let them die.
The General had a severe fall from his horse when
the troops were attacked at Koosh-ab, and was in-
sensible for two hours, but he- came in all right in
the afternoon, and went out again when the alarm
occnrred, and met us on our way back. He thank-
ed us personally, saying it was ni..st kind, &c.
Next morning I went out to meet the forCe coming
.in, the rearguard of the army, and as the cavalry
cime in by twos and threes, and salaamed to us,
they draw their swords in triumph, crying out
' Dekho and there they were, sure enough,
blades and hiltS, all smeared in blood, and their
white belts 'bespattered, all over ; they must have
Made a most glorious charge. Poor Frankland, of
the 2d Europeans, was made Brigade Major of
Cavalry, to go out with them, only the day before
they started, and in the charge he cut down three
men, but the foiirth shot him dead, right in the
bridge of the nose, the ball perittrating into
the head. Our doss was only, as far as I can
learn, four or six killed, and about fr.-on foity
to sixty wounded, but it is not as yet lightly
known. They speak very well on the whole of the
Persian troops, and especially of their artillery.
Certainly the two guns that were captured were•es
good as any of ours—horses, harness, limber; and
all in very fine order. They have 'got 25 prisoners,
two of whom they say are Russians. The ‘Sukh-
el-Mulk,' who commanded the Persian army, nar-
nowly ecaped being taken himself, •escaping wits-
out his hat. And going back with a bare head in
this country, I suppose you are well aware, is a
disgrace."
