THE PIFID AFTER THE Battle.
Nov. s-On the evening OF the BATH, went over
the field think have said, over end over again,
,bs, il was q sight which could Dsver be described.
A considerable number some 80 10 | 900, Russian
killed and wounded we're lylng among our tents and
here also were many too mlry, corpses OF Iouayes
and French Infantry Of tie line All our wounded
have been removed and the wounded OF the enemy
were hipg gathered ia. The kindness and attention
Of our fellows 10 their helpless enemies vas beyond
ell p, aise They brought them water, got kDspsacks
TO put under their heads, AID borrowed blankets m
which 10 cover them from the rae night air; here and
there small groups Of them stood absorbed IN pity
roubd some PROSTATE foe, 10 whom tDelr kindness
came too late, and Who, shot either through
the head or lungs, gasped ont his existence
in painful sobs or iermin1ed II IN a horrible
convulsion which made your blood curdle 10 hear.
A little above the line of tents was the brox oil
the hill overlooking IDkermann Lights. Here
was the spot where the allied artillery engaged tha,
the enemy sitter the retreat and here the syat was
sickebit indeed. There il nothing so awful as the
spectacle Of the bodies OF those who have been struck
down by round shot or shell. One poor fellow OF the
9th had been struck by two "a Pounders IN the hes
and bcdy A shell afterwsrd bnrst on hl'n and tore
him TO pieces and j. was only by the fragments OF
CLOTH with the regm.nta ou.tons adherng, that you
could tell that the rough bloody mass winch lay m
the road had ever been humsn being. But II ia use
less 10 dwell the.e sckebng details suffice to say
tia; here. among the carcasses OF some 2Oo kiued
md woupded horses lay the bodies Of our brave
English and French arterynen, all more or less
fyirhtfuly mutileed. Some had their heads taken oil
81 the neck az if with AZ; others their legs gone
from the hips others their arms, ana VINO
were hit iD The chest or stomach were literally a.
smashed az If they he'd been crushed IN machine.
But it was pog alone the allies who lay here on the
contrary there ten Russian corpses Tor one oil
theirs but the latter were all killed by nusGe,ry De-
fore the artillery came mp. IN inns spot roe ''uss'ahS

from the defense Of the wall above lnsermann alley

regiments lay thick as leaves m'ermxed With dead
and NoUr ded horses. The latter, with fractured
limbs, were now and then rising, and after stigger-
ing few steps, rolling over among the corPses
snoring ard plungng fearully. Up to the right OF
the " ali was the way 10 the ESQ gun Battery. The
path lay through thick brush wood; but the
path was slippery with blood, and the brushwood
wes broken down and encountered win Tue dead
The scene from the battery ayiul-ayful beyond

al night, and felt my heart sink as gazed upon the

Facing me was the Valley of Inkermann with the
CherDsya like band Of silver flowing gracefully
between the hills which, for varied and picturesque
beauty, might vie with any part of the world. Yeti
shall never recall the memory OF lnkermann valley
with any but fes Tugs olosthiDg and horror Tor around
the spot from which surveyed the scene lay upwards
of 5000 bodies. Many badly wounded also lay there;
and their low dull means of mortal agony struck
with berrible distinctness upon the esr, or,
worse still, the hosrse, gurglng cry aud vehe.
ment struggles of those who were convulsed
before they passed away. Around the hill
small groups of men with hospital stretchers were
searching out for those wbe still survived ana otaers

lows could be distinguished at glance, though the
gray great coats, stained with blood, rendered
them alike externally. They lay ss tney fell, IN
