The London Times and the Re-
. cent Battle at SebastopoI.

cent Battle at SebastoPoL
The London Times is not very we'll
satisfied with the results of the recent
battle before Sebastopol. In speaking
IF the affair it uses the following lam
guage:
~Great valor and enterprise have
been shown on both sides, Jat 1t is i'm
ordinary regret the loss Of men killed in
a natural ARRAY. BHo1ced Gy no other
than the repuLSe ofthe emmy. We, tho
beseigers are still e~ndeayoring to pre-.
rent the approaches and resist the at
tacks of the beseiged; AID, although ev-
cry foot of ground is f%ercely disputed,
the lines of the enemy are gaining on
our intrenchments, instead Of our gain
ing on the out-works of the town.
1.-THE number of guns now in position
In our batteries is so large, and the
stores of ammunition ready to open the
fire upon SebastopoI SO enormous that a
very large force is required at all hours
to protect these extensive preparations
from the ~sallies of the enemy. In fact
our own siege material is now one of the
membranes which clog the operations
of the allied armies, and before any 9TH
er course of action can be attempted the
engineers must have tried the full feet
of those vast engines which they have at
asst dire cted against the place. The
ammunition, solid shot, hollow shot and
rockets must be spent, for they can Meth
or be brought back Tito store nor, left
where they arc. The heavy iron guBs
will be worn out and comparatively
worthless when they have discharged
thor three and four hundred rounds
each of these enormous projeetiles-

The Horrors of war---A Fearful
~ 1t TY1o1du


"a The London Times lays before its
readers the particulars of a horrible al
fair which recently occurred near the
Dutch settlement T~ransvaal, a: the Cape
of Good Hope, and which can only be.
paralelled in atrocity among the achieve
ments of modern tin es by the exploit of
Marshal st. Arnnud in Algiers, when
he smoked and burned to death thou
sands of barbarian opponents who had
sought refuge in a deep and spacious
cave
In the case at the Cape of Good
Hope, the Caffre Indians had murdered,
in October last, under circumstances of
great ~barbarity, ten or twelve men and
women of the Dutch settlement. Imme-
d~iately Gen. Pretorious raised an army
of Eve hundred men, and accompanied
by Commander General. Potgietter,
proceeded on an expedition to revenge
the blood of the victims. After an alb
sence of several weeks, they reached
some remarkable subterrancan caverns
half a mile in length, and from three or
FIVE hundred feet in width, where the
Caffres had e~ntrenched themselves
Upon his arrival at this spot, Gen.
Protorious attempted to blast the rocks
above the caverns, and thus crush the
savages beneath the ruiss. The pscu-
liar character of the stone, however,
rendered this scheme impraeticable, and
he then stationed his men around tho
mouths of the caves, and built up walls
in front of them. After a fe~ days,
many of the women and children were
driven by hunger and thirst from their
hiding places, and were allowed to es-
cape but every man who came forth
was shot dead by their rifles. On the
18th of November, at the close of a
siege of three weeks, the besiegers, see
ing no signs of life, entered the caravans,
and the silence within, together with
the horrible odor arising from the bodies
of the dead, told how efectually their
object has been accomplished, More
than nine hundred Cafres had been
shot down at the mouths of the caverns,
and a much greater number had persisted
by slow degrees, suffering all the bor-
rors of starvation i'll the gloomy reeesses
