The Brave HuNGARIAxs.-L. r. Brei-
sach, a Hungarian, has published in the
New York Journal of Commerce, the fol-
communication, the facts in which
were gathered from German letters and pa
pers:
"The great battle ofSolnok, on the Thesis,
in the month of March last, was one of the
bloodiest on record. We remember that q
brigade of Croats, in number about 10000
men; were entirely cut to pieces. Wind
ischgratz, as usual, claimed to be victorious
but he secretly declared to his intimate
friends that another such victory would
bring the Hungarians to the gates Of vien-
ma.
Windischgratz commanded at this battle
the centre, JeIlachich the left, and Schlick
the right wing. Georgey was the COM
mander.in-c chief of the Hungarians. To
him the position Of tie Austrians was well
but the bravery ofhis hussars too
Having laid his plan for the battle, he re-
viewed the army, and finally arrived before
a division of his hussars. Brothers. said
he to them, swhere 10 your commander? A
sergeant with silver white hairs sp-
before him, (sll the officers having
fallen in q previous skirmish.) Brother
hussar!' said the young Gen. Georgey,
'look at that hill covered with trees. You
will remark there the glittering bayonets
Of the Austrians and their awkward riders,
and their snnon directed against U.s.
They will soon vomit fire and balls. Broth
er that hill must be taken by your division.
In this attack many Of you will fall: perhaps
one half: perhaps more: perhaps only 8 few
Of you will remain. But you are destined
BY God to save your fathefland. You will
therefore do your duty. God be with
The veteran sergesnt saluted his young
general, and turning himself to his Com
he repeated what was commanded
him, and casting his eyes to Heaven, he ut
tered loudly the following prayer
tor, Father of mankind, Father Of the Hun
garians: I pray now but for n grace : not
that Thou wilt assist US in our task, but on.
ly that Thou wilt not assist the Austrians.
Look at us and l solemnly promise, Thou.
wilt enjoy how the hussars do their duty
Having finished this yrayer, he gave the
first signal for the attack. The hussafs
put their soddles in order. He gave the
second sign the swords were drawn from
the scabbards. The third, and in a wild fu-
~ the horses galloped into the midst Of the
laundering cannon and flying balls.
The swords glitter, and clouds Of powder
and smoke, and white hellish fire surrounds
the hussars, they storm the bill. The Aus
trian yagers and artillerists could not stand
before their fierce attack, and precipitated
their retreat, pursuedby the hussars. The
cannon at oncs became silent, and the VIC
tory was decided for the Hungarians.
Kossuth, who was at the battle, pressed
Georgey to his bosom, and loudly sxclaim-
ed, Hungary can not succomb; We have
an army far superior to the Austrians.'-
The veteran sergeant had fallen, and half
the number of his comrades. Thus fight
the Hungarian husssrs."
