STATE CT sEBAsropoL
The Crimean correspondent of the Daily Nssys
writing on the 18th, says:
The Mamelon itself Is completely Knocked to
pieces there being hardly square foot without a
deep hole showing where a smell had struck and
burst. The French and Russian burying parties
and about two feet deep, but sometimes where a
plumber had fallen close to each other large graves
were dug to contain the whole. The whole of the
bodies OF the Russians were much emaciated. -
Their ofticers, many of whom entered Into couver
sanon with ours, are no longer the careless con.
hdent men they were two months ago. They look
pale and anxious. They must have had a great
deal to go through. Said one to French officer,
who remarked. speaking of the killed and wounds
ed, that II had been sad slaughter. "Ah Mon
Ami, 1t is all very we'll for you who fight on full
stomachs. but for US" aud shrug of the shoulders
was sufficient comment on bis meaning MANY
OF the Russian soldiers came up to ours and asked
them for biscuit; so that there Is, think no doubt
that they are very short o provisions In the place
The reason why | am most pleased to discover
this scarcity oil provisions 10 that although starva
tion will net be powerful ally In taking Spbasto-
pol Itself, still we may fairly conclude that wh en-
that Is done, the north side must fall very speedily
on Investment, which the course Of the next four
months may enable us to get out of this before
next winter. We may also infer that the Russians
are very short of ammunition for thsv ave NOT

The news of the war Ia still more than usually
grave. We have indeed still TO learn the par tcu-
ars of cur i'll success on the 18h and are SIN with

rect ss at this present moment, when they who in
various capacities, were concerned at its CON-
mencement aresuccessi1ely quitting the scene, aud
leaving fhe1r places to men Of sseTuer mould, and
perhaps also more reckless temper. Russia played
for high stake, and baJ already los, the substance
of ectual territory and power, as well as the
SHADOW OF natical expectation.
Several hundred thousand men are now fighting
from hill to hill, from mound to mound, from the
opposite sides and ends of the same gorc ce-takins
and reraking positions still llled with their ow
dead. The allies In all this are in the ascendant
and we have even reeained some of the vantage
ground lost on the 18th. There can be no reason
able doubt as to the early issue of such struggle
on the scene where 1t now rsges. Sebastopol viii
