UTILITY OF THE REVOLVER.
The revolvers carried by our officers saved their
lives on several occasions this day. When Capt
Nicholson of the 77th, was lying on the ground he
was bayonetted by q Russian. The Colonel imme-
diately shot the scoundrel dead Ensign Butts of
the 77th, was taken prisoner by Russian, who
made him hide himself in the bush as his regiment
went past by keeping his cooked frelock to his
head: The young fellow watched his chance and
ehes him dead with his revolver getting off In safety
to rejoin his regiment. Mr.. Crosse, of the Light
Division, was surrounded by four Russians, who
thought to make sure work of him. He shot the
two In front OF him with his revolver, and private
named Houlsgan rushed out of the ranks shot one
Of his remaining assailants dead, bayonetted the
other, and taking up Mr. Crosse ia his arms, ran
back With him TO the rear of the regiment and
placed him in safety
