A SOLDIERS FEELINGS IN TIE MIDsT or BATrEE.
a eitcr from private soldier SAYS " The bullets
"of the Mimic rifle 20 past you with most infernal
sound. It's though mocklng devils were sneering
at you in the air. But your blood soon gets up, the

Craze but il bed com iderably, the blood ran down

CLoyES HEADS AT BALAKLAyA.-I have always
imagined that split skulls and clOven heads were
figures Of speech until to-dsy, when have indeed,
been terribly convinced of the reality Of such horrors
Some ofthe dead to-day had their heads as completely
eloven az il the operation was performed by surgeon
with saw. Nearly all the Russians were so killed.
Our fellows had been principally slain with lance
thrusts; | saw one body with thirteen such wounds
through the cbest and stomach. Another man had
SIX all Of which were mere fesh wounds, and not
dangerous. The same man, lin the 18th Lancers,l
liner
two hones killed under him, one or two sabre and
bullet wounds in his cap, his sword bent double in its
sheath by Mimic bullet, five bullets in his saddle,
one in his lance-stah, and sword cuts innumerable.
SUNDAY SERvIcK.-The Russians opened very
heavy eannonade on this morning-they always
have done 90 on Sundays. Divine service was per.
formed with a continued bass Of cannon rolling
through the responses snd Liturgy. The French were
terribly cut up by the Garden Battery, more so, how
ever, by their misfortune OF last night The Rus
sians made steslthy sorts toward morning, and ad-
vabeed close to the French piekets. When ehsl-
lenged, they replied "IDghs, Inglis, which passed

and ere they knew where they were, the Russians
