storming of the Malakof Redoubt.


Describing the recent storning of Russian re-
doubt by the French, the London Times says, ed
torially:
1t appears by the last accounts, that the pur-
pose of the allied generals is still fixed the pros
ecution Of the siege by means of bombardment,
followed by an assault. Two experimental attacks
ways, which serve to show that it is not easy to
gain an advantage over our interchangeable antago-
mist. 1t appears, from both the Russian and French
reports that the night Of the 2lst of February,
the Russians succeeded in throwing up with great
rapidity new redoubt on the right bank Of the
careening harbor.
"Within forty-cight hours General Canrobert
resolved to force the position, and the attack
was made before the work had been completed.
A large body Of French troops, under General
Monet, advanced, in the night of the 23d, against
this redoubt. The Zouayes rushed upon the in
trenchments with the utmost bravery, and q san
culinary contest ensued which cost nearly five hun
dred Of these admirable soldiers.
The Russian infantry regiments ofSelenghinski
and Volhynia, under Gen. Kroustchaff, defended
the work with great steadiness, and after severe
combat, the French were compelled to retreat.
This unfortunate result has been attributed to sew
eral cause.-the disclosure by spies Of the French
plan of attack the fire of the Russian vessels in the
harbor and from the surrounding forts, and a want
ofsteadness on the part Of one portion of the as
sailants who are said TO have left the Zouaves to
bear the brunt Of the engagement,
t"We are unable TO determine with certainty
what amount Of truth there may be in these state
ments, but il is undoubtedly true that the Rus
slams appear TO have expected the attack, and had
occupied the position with a small army rather
than with detachment in proportion to its extent.
On the side Of the French, the force consisted Of
only half brigade Of Zouaves, 1900 strong; two
battaons of marines, 1880 strong, and 400 vol
unteers In all less than 4, 500 men.
1.-THE Russians were 10, 900 strong, and the I'M
fortunate Zouaves fell into a regular ambuscade.
Nevertheless such the dauntless vigor of these
troops, that they stormed the redoubt and held
one-half of 1t against fearful odds, when the Rus
slams succeeded in outhanking the column the
marines were separated from the Zouayes and
driven back in all directions, and the latter were
completely surrounded by the enemy.
"A second time they succeeded, by sheer hand
to-hand fighting, in completing the capture of the
redoubt, but no sooner had the Russian infantry
fallen back, than the batteries and ships opened
terrific fire upon the work, and rendered II com
pletely untenable. IL was not till then that Cen
Monet, who was twice severely wounded ordered
retreat, and, though the night was disastrous
from the loss of many hundred lives, and the fail
ure Of the chief object, the galantry displayed by
the Zouaves was such that this repulse might
well be ranked with their most brilliant achieve
ments.n

The SA1oS ESeLIsH OF THK BIBLE-Nr Trench,

compares the Protestant version of the Bible with
the Dousy or Catholic version:

the long list OF the works Of the flesh and fruit
Of the spirit, is given. But what could a mere
English reader make Of words such as these: Inn

ity,' all which occur in that passage2 while our
version has for 'impudicity' wsntonness;' for
ebrieties,' drunkenness !; for commessations
'revellings ! for 'longanimity,' 'ong-suferng'
Or set over against one another such phrases az
these In the Dousy, the e1emplars Of the celes-
tisls Heb. IL, 23, but in ours, the patterns Of
things in the heavens Or suppose IT, instead Of
the words which rs read at Heb. xiii, Is, namely,

THE REsuLr or rHE KANSAS ELEcTIoS.-The
Kansas election, which has been reported by tele-

explanation Of how this marvellous change was
wrought, the Republican give the following tele-
graphic dispatch from Western Missouri:
"INDErESDEScE, March 31-9 p. NJ.
"Severalhundred returning emigrants from Kan

the bands were about 200 horsemen in regular or

A GHosr IN LovE-A farmer who had lately be
come widower was aroused al midnight by the
loud barking of his dog. On going 10 Il the ami
NAL displayed extreme terror, whereupon the farm
err took bis gun and proceeded TO an inspection.
All at once he saw phantom, clothed in white
sheet, rise behind the hedge The farmer turned
deadly pale, and his limbs shook with dismay. He,
however, contrived to calculate

your deceased wife, come from the grave to warn
you not to marry Maria f., to whom you
are making love. The only woman TO succeed me
is Henrietta B. Marry her, or persecution
and eternal torment shall be your DOOM
This strange address from the goblin, instead Of
dismaying the farmer, restored his courage. Ho
accordingly rushed on the ghostly visitor, and
stripping of its sheet discovered the fair Henrietta
B. herself looking extremely foolish. u
said that the farmer, admiring the girls trick, has

Rhode Island adds her mite to the scale OF
w-Nothingism. Her vote, however will be
just as potent in the House of Representatives,
upon the choice of President, as that of New
York. The Thirty-fourth Congress is to settle the
Presidential question: unless all signs fail. 1t Is
scarcely probable that either President or Vice
President can be chosen by the people at the next
election; aud, between Wing, Democrat and a

rather doubtful which would succeed.
