''Heights Of Inke,mann, June 10Th.
Comrades The bloody combat of yesterday
and the defeat of our enemy, has again crowned
arms with immortal laurels. Russia owes
you her thanks, and will not refuse them. Many
of our companions in arms have sealed with their
blood the oath which they took, and SO have kept
sacred the promise which gave to the Emperor,
our father. Comrades, thank you for it.
'My brothers! Large reinforcements are march
ing from all parts of our sacred Russia. They
will soon be with us. Oppose, as you have hth-
erto done, your manly breasts to the fire of your
impious enemies, and die as your comrades have
died, with arms in your hands, in an honorable
contest-man to man, breast to breast-rather
than violate the oath which you have sworn to
your country to preserve our Sebastopol!
'Soldiers! the enemy is beaten-driven back
with enormous losses Your commander again
thanks you in the of the Emperor of holy
Russia. The time is near at hand when the pride
Of the enemy shall be overthrown-when his ar
my shall be swept from our territory like straw
before the wind. Until then have faith in God,
and fight for your Emperor and country
's(Signed) GoRrscHAKoFF."

but about half.past six in the evening he
