services better fellow never stepped This scene is GO
ing all about the hillside Frenchmen with ters are
also busy looking for their dead and wounded and
in sharing the sad abors OF the day At last the number
the trench is completed The bodies lie closely as
they be packed. Some of them have uprased arms,
in the attitude of taking aim their legs stick up through
the mould it Is thrown upon them others are bent ana
twisted into shapes like antoccini Inch after inch the
earth rises upon Them and they left alone In Their
glory No. not alone for the hopes and fears and anec
tons of hundreds OF human hearts lie buried wish them
One ocLock p. M-For about one mile and half In
length by half mile in depth the hillside offers such
sights these Upwards of two thousand Russians have
been buried by these men, few remain above ground now
As standing in the Sandbag battery, short time
ago talking to some officers of the Guards who were de-
scribng their terrible losses Colonel Cunynghame and
Lieutenant Colonel Wiibaham OF the quarermaser gene
rails staff rode towards the spot to superintend the OPP
eratons The instant their cooked hats above
the ridge burst of smoke out OF the valley om the
head of the harbor and bz whsh bizz came shell
right u.s. and crashed into the hillside, where our
actually engaged in burying the Russian dead
Such atrocy needs comment and officers and men were
alike indignant at it. Colonel Cunynghame told me he
understood that Lord Raglan had actually sent in nag OF
truce that very morning to the Russian generals to inform
them that the parties the hillside were buryg the dead
AS he speaking second shell directed at us and
fell again the right but it quite evident that the So
cety of officers in cooked hats and horseback was
not the safest in the world ut that particular moment and
all three RETIRED though confess would have will

LONDON TIMES TO KossurHs SPEECH.
The London Times has long article in reply to Kos
suths speech the We make the following extract
ave have to complain of NJ Kossuth. He ap-
peared Wednesday night occasion which naturally
appealed to his sympahie as the eloquent and nexhaus
the advocate of crushed naonalites extinct consttu
on and popular rights as they understood by arsto
ccal classes Every word that be uttered might have
been said for him, barring little of that fire which per-
sonal talent will put into the most hackneyed topics
He quite true to his old character and did not fall
short of it. Never there faithful exponent of
Hungary of Poland and OF everything that is grand and
impossible NJ Kossuths voleys of words OF much the
aimess frutess, desultory character fred at
Bomarsund after its capture but then expect it from
him After reading four columns of the most explosive elo
qucnce, look for the damage DONE the point sub
santated the piece of practical counsel and look
in vain After good deal of prophecy which in these
days rather cheap and in which Kossuh does not at all
excel the prophets of Nauvoo and the Great Salt Lake he
gives advice He advises the Poles and he advises the
Engsh--at least he promises to do so, and devotes
two-thirds of his speech to this timely and neghbory
the advice, and, if possible, to turn it to account
But the oracle is more Improbable even than the
oracles Of old They at least gave advice though the
advice ambiguous. NJ. Kossuth does not give ad-
vice. To the Poles he offers superfuous generality
cogged by impossible truism He advises them to
always done, their cost and will do to the end of the
chaper but that aid from any quarter must not be fet
tered and aloyed with royal name and sanction As all
Europe with utterly insignificant exceptions happens
to be this moment in the hands of emperors kings and
other civil ecclesiastical chiefs the powerful and ubiqui
tous any quarter to which NJ Kossuh refers the objects
of his sympathy the few struggling, impoverished
divided Hungarans, Italians Frenchmen Germans and
adventures of nation opinion whatever to be found
by those who look for them in London and few other
cities But kossuth serious when he advises the Poles
to accept aid from any quarter, is it jest? NJ KOssuh
jests If he jests sometimes he would be serious
sometimes The misfortune Of such orators is that they
have hit which has all the invention unreality
and exuberance of jest with the air of sober earnestness
that the listener nces himself good deal wiser but
has learnt nothing at ALL
Again:
GAS suddenly recolecng that this is historical cri
csm not practical advice M Kossuth thinks necessary
TO repudiae maxim, Let bygones be bygones 1t is
ony by considering and analyzng the bygones he sug
gests that become wise for the future But where
and what Ia NJ Kossuhs wisdom for the future2 We
only suppose that forthwith all
promises and pledges to levy two egOns of $4,000 each
of Hungarans and the other of Polcs proclaim gen
eral anpathy to crowned heads and sympathy for suffer-
ing naonaes and then sail at to the ports nearest
Hungary and to Poland in the face of about 100000
Austrian soldiers in the and Kossuh takes
pains inform u.s. 100000 Russians in the other If this
what we ought to do we ought to be waging single
scrbed a6erce of principle against at least mil
lions Of wellarmed wcdiscpned soldiers all Eu
rope far from resources and without the power
bringing power the assistance OF
only allies the ungarians and Poles But the who
tenders this kind and udicous advice thinks 1t proper to
charge her Majesty ministers and their alleged Russian
predictions the blood of the noble slain at the Ama,
Balakava and Inkermnnn, and suggests this pleasant
thought TO their heartbroken friends How many parents
how many wives how many children, would require
ISOLATION from better quarter if did what NJ Kos
suh tells ought to have done, aud by implication
ought still to dol This, too is the who tells the
world that England has weak points in America and In
dian plain English, that the United States march
into British America at any point they please two
thousand miles of frontier and that the natives of Hndos
may get rid of their present rulers by inviting the
terna dominion of the Gar. NJ Kossuth is not
CANT in his estimate of the issues stake in the question
before the meeting Wednesday. 1t extends beyond
England, Hungary, Poland Austria, and Russia, to the
New World rs well rs the whole of the Old. The man
who burnt down his neghbors house to roast his po
ato had not more deliberate indifference the public
cost at which he consulted his private convenience The
British people, who have long since absorbed at least
nationality interesting the Hungarian--viz: the
Scotchand is fast absorbing the Ish is challenge
all the world to mortal combat and defy the utmost malice
Of every crowned head for the sake of nations whom
it cannot pretend TO approach in its ships and would prob
ably be allowed to approach land This is what
ought 10 hare been done If this is the only alternative
then will we begin to take comfort and be little
satisfied with what has BEEN In choice of evils NJ. Kos
suh seems to prove that have chosen if not the least
at all events the less"
