Incidents CT the Battle of Alma Horrible

Scenes.
The following is II letter from medical Off
Ger, describing the scenes which followed the
battle of Alma:
For the past two days have been literally ia
n sea of blood. as have been employed attend
ing on the wounded Russians on the battle field
of Alma. No description could give would re-
alize the horrors of war-the dead. the dying
horses, guns, carriages, pfie mele-headess
trunks, bodies minus arms or legs, mutilation of
every sort and kind-that my blood almost free
ut the recollection. Every available hut was
improvised into an operating theatre, and under
every disadvantage we performed the most for
madable surgical operations. You may Judge
how cxpeditiously we had to get through things
when mention that extracted % balls in less
than three hours Dressings were out of the
question.
Our surgical bvouacs were readily known by
the number of legs and arms strewn around the
scene of our labors. Indeed cannot liken the
field OF battle for the tw" days after the fight to
any better than an dbattoir. NV assistant for
COMPRISING arteries was the first passer- by and
when his nerve failed him had to wait until
some one else came up. | willnot say much for
the result of my amputations,as directly one
concluded laid him ON Il bed of hay or straw and
lett him 10 the ms medicntrir nature. In the re-
doubts the Russian dead lay literally heaped ON
each other. Nearly all the balls | extracted were
Minle ones.
Report Gays there were ~ 900 Russians on the
field. They held the most formidable position
any army could occupy; but the bull dog
age OF our troops overeame everything, and in
five hours they were masters of every command
ing position, aud the Russian hosts in full
retreat. No one, | believe, knows the Russian
loss | counted myself more than 400 Russians
dead in less than three acres, and the wounded
were beyond my calculation. Their suppca-
lions as passed through them. were heart-rend
ing-when had attended one there were twenty
uninteligbe supplcations from those around
me to give them my surgical aid. Our soldiers
behaved IN the most humane manner towards the
wounded. | wish could say much for the
Turks. The latter attacked the retreating Rus
sian army, and those who were not killed by
their fire they bayoneted, and cried ''Sinoper
to them. Our army remained at Alma for two
days after the action to attend to the wounded,
and when they left there were many of the enc
my still unoperated upon We have sent down
there to day line of battle ship, to look after
the rest, but | fear death will have PLAYED sad
havoc among them. The Russians never look
after their wounded, and on march here (only
five miles) we fell in with 800 wounded Russian
soldiers

The quantity of American stocks is now beng

10 the great banking houses have been the ioci
into which the floating eapiial Of Europe has
been concentrated, and applied TO the demands
of governments. Their efficiency depended up
on the allegiance of the monied men to existing
governments. The revenues Of arisiocrhcy'
gentry and the better class of tradea-people, are
freely lonned to the support OF governments,
which, under the name Of protection, conferred
monopoly on capital, and eAaeied from the lahor-
ing man the means Of paying interest on the sur

An entire change has now taken place, and 1t has
become manifest that labor must be einancipatcd
