from Major-General M`Caskill, KM., commanding the
force which I detached under his command, for the pur-
pose of dispersing the enemy collected in the vicinity of
Charekar, as stated in my letter of the 28th instant.
The success of the Major-General's operations against
Istalif is most gratifying, that place being considered by
the Affghans as totally inaccessible to our troops.

Commanding in Affghanistan.
FROM MAJOR-GENERAL 31'CASKILL, K. H., COMMANDING
DETACHMENT IN KOHISTAN, TO CAPTAIN PONSONBY,
ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL.
Camp Istalif, Sept. 30, 1842.
Sir,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for the
information of Major.. Gen. Pollock C. 8., that the troops
under my command yesterday made themselves masters of
the strong and populous town of Istalif, totally defeat-
ing the numerous levies collected for its defence, under
the infamous Ameen Oolla Khan Loguree, Khaojie
Ameer Kotwal, Hazin Khan (an assassin of Sir Alex-
ander Burnes), Hazir Alee Khan, Khuleefa Ibrahim, anp
many other chiefs of Caubul and Kohistan.
The Major-General is aware that the force detailed
below* was placed at my disposal for operations in these
valleys on the 25th ; the two brigades formed a junction
near Khowja Rawash on the 26th, moved to an encamp-
ment near Zimuree on the 27th, and pitched their tents
within four miles of this place on the 28th. The same
evening I reconnoitred the enem?s position ;:it is impos-
sible to conceive ground naturally stronger. The town
of Istalif, consisting of masses of houses and forts, is
built on the slope of a mountain, in the rear of which
are yet loftier eminences, shutting in a defile which leads
to Turkistan, and in no way can this place of abode of
15,000 people be approached but by surmounting ranges
of hills, separated by deep ravines, or traversing by
narrow roads its gardens, vineyards, and orchards, fenced
in with strong enclosure walls ; the whole of them, with
the mountain side and tops of the houses, were occupied
by Jezailchees, and the strongest proof is afforded that
the enemy after this disposition considered the place un-
assailable, by their having retained within the town the
wives and children not only of the inhabitants, but of
thousandsef refugees from Caubul.
The observations which I was enabled to make under
a sharp jezail fire and the report of Major Pottinger in-
duced me to determine to assault the next morning the
right of the enemy's extensiveposition, as it was there that
I could hope to bring the artillery most effectively into
battery ; arrangements were made with this view. The
troops were formed into two columns of attack and re-
serve ; Brigadier Tulloch's brigade and the mountain
train composed the right ; Brigadier Stacy's and Capt.
Blood's battery and the 18-pounders the left ; these
were supported by the third column under Major Si-
monds, her Majesty's 41st, consisting of a wing of his
regiment and the Cavalry under Major Lockwood; Capt.
Christie's corps protected the baggage.
The troops moved soon after daylight, and, traversing
the plain in perfect order, passed nearly from the left to
the right of the enemy's position. Our light troops and
guns repressed the occasional attacks of theirJezailchees
from the gardens, who were numerous and most audacious;
but when the column arrived in front of the village Is-
millah, I resolved to make a combined attack on this
point. Brigadier Tulloch's brigade assailed its left, and
je
Brigadier Stac
right. y• making a longer detour, attacked the
I cannot express in adequate terms my admiration of
the style in which the former column, covered by skir-
mishers, rushed upon the
gardens filled with bold and skil-
ful marksmen. Her Ma sty's 9th Foot, the 26th Native
Infantry, and Captain Broadfoot's Sappers, vied with
each other in steady courage, and their rapid and un-
hesitating advance soon left the enemy no resource but
flight; very shortly after this assault the three light com-
panies of her Majesty's 41st, the 42d, and 43d Native
Infantry, covering their own column, got into action,
and on their side stormed the village and vineyard with
distinguished gallantry; the combination was steadily
persevered in, and, though I had few opportunities of
using the artillery with effect, I had soon the gratifica-
tion of seeing the enclosures, forts, heights, suburbs,
and town successively won by the two columns. The
enemy were driven from them, and pursued with a ra-
pidity which left no time to rally, arid a singular spec-
tacle was then presented in the escape up the mountain
side of the women and children from the places to which
no interception was offered ; but as detached parties of
the beaten Affghans still occupied some very lofty
heights, the mountain train ascended them by a dizzy
pathway, and dispersed the fugitives by its effective fire.
Our reserve was now established on the lower heights,
and the whole of the place, filled with property of
every description, much of it plundered from our army
in 1841, was in the hands of our force ; two guns,
brass field-pieces' were also taken, and one of them was
seized with such promptitude that its captor, Lieute-
nant Elmherst, her Majesty's 9th Foot, turned its fire
upon the fugitives with some effect. I directed the town
to be set on fire in several places, after taking out various
supplies which might be useful to our troops, and the
work of demolition is still proceeding under the direction
of Major Saunders, of the Engineers. Our loss has been
trifling, for the advance of our officers and men was too
rapid and decisive to allow of the sharp fire of the enemy
