for The return of the palanquns from which the

PICTURE OF GLORY w HEN THE GLARE
SPAST.-INDIA.
After the battle.

Near midnight, when about to retire 10 rest,
an order was received from the COMMANDER in>
Chief to detach al officer and onS hundred pio>
necrs for the purpose of collecting the wounded,
and also such arms and accoutrements as could
be found on the field Of battle. This severe du-
ty devolved upon me, as the other officers were
laid up from the fatigue they had undergone
throughout the day. Several palanquins belong
ing to the head quarters were kindly sent to
bring IN the wounded, as none Of the public
dooy boys could be procured they having dis
persed IN search of pIunder.
The scenes of woo and misery experienced
during this dark dismal night, in my progress
over the field of battle amidst the carnage Of the
day, wllLneyer be efiaced from my memory.
The groans and screams of the dying and
wounded constantly struck my ear, as also the
ptous waings Ofthe wives, daughters, fathers
or sons of those who had fallen, or the cries o
others in search of th.ir missing relatives. Will
These heart-rending sounds were often nike,
the wild oxecrations Of the dying, who wer'
attempting 10 repel the marauders who came 70
the purpose Of plumber and rapne.
We found many bodies Of our own soldiers il
perfect state of nudity, which plainly evince'
they had not escaped those indignities offered l.
the dead aud dying By the prOaigate followers @
camp. .
Our enemies were treated in the same man
ner; the wretches who wandered over the fel
in search plnnderl spared neither friend no
foe when there was prospect Of booty. w
rescued considerable number of the wounde
from this lonely death, the must terrible 10 tn

tins TO the cowardiy assastins or The inclemen
cy OF the weather before we rould afford ther
rescue or relief. The ground was clay, whic
had been saturated by the heavy rains and trot
den into quagmire by the passing anG repassir
Of men, animals. and carriages; misty, dri,
zhns rain fell incessautly, and these circums,aI
ss rendered our toll exceedingly difficult ar
