As soon as the two storming columns got OUT OF tue

retIeaed overwhelmed by the Storm from the enemys
battery, several officers and men were leit behind

them Lieutenant Ermiston lay for five hours under
the ebattis of the Redan, and reported dead,
but he watched his opportunity, and got
away with only confusion of the knee. hr.
Kennedy, senior mate of the London, and of the
naval brigade also left behind close to the abat
ts and after several hours of painful concealment he
rolled himself and over like ball down the de-
cliyity and managed to get into the trench. Lieut..
Kidd came in all safe, and was receiving the congrau

soldier lying on, in the open. He Mt once exclaimed:
"We must save himl" and leaped over the parapet !

THE ARMsTIcE.
JUNE l9.-The natural consequence in civilized war; |
fare of such contest as that which took place yes
terday IS an armistice to bury the dead. Ii
sad duty to demand it, for our dead lay outside our
lines and there were Russian corpses in front of
the Reonn or Maakof After the contest of the % |
of May General 0sten-Sacken is said to have applied
twice to Generals before an armistce was accord
ed 10 him, and indeed Gen. Pelssler expressly says
that the truce was granted TO the Russian General on
his reiterated request. II is wonder then that the
Rus ans were chary of granting us an armsice,
when they had occasion to go outside their lines
for their dead or dying and wounded. Somehow or /
other. the runor got abroad that there would be /
armstce early in the day. and we hoisted white nag
in the forenoon, but there no such emblem OF |
TEMPORARY peace dispayedb by the Russians.
Our batteries and rihemen ceased firing, aud the /
Russians crowded the tops of the parapes of the Re-
dan and of the Round Tower ,lalakof batteries, and
did not harass by any fire. but OF course IT was dan
eerous TO 90 out in front of the lines tI they hosied
the white flag also The advanced trenches were |
filed with officers and soldiers eager to find the bodies
of their poor comrades but they could net stir out of
the parallels. They waited patiently and sadly for /
the moment when friendships last melancholy office /
could be performed. IL very hot day, aud OF /
all the places in the world where heat displays It's
utmost power trench before Sevastopol Is the most
intolerable Every moment xous es es were turned
to the huge walls OF earth before the Round Tower
ard behind the abas of the Redan, in the hope OF |
seeing the answering flag but our own was the only
one in view and the French were still firing away on
our left at the Russian works. 1t was evident that
something wrong, and 1t was whispered that /
the Russians bad refused our application Tor an
armistice. Boats were at last seen 10 leave the !
roads of Seyastopol, and to meet boats from the
feet at the entrance, and II became known that
the Russians had acceeded TO an armistlce, and
that it was to take place at o'clock in the after
noon To pass the weary time away there moth
ing TO do but to watch the Russians at work repairing
their batteres-labors which they continued during
the armisfice suLsequently-and to make out the
bodies which lay scattered about in front Of the Re-
dan ard Malakof. II was agonziug to see the
wounded men who were lying there under a broiling
sun parched with excruciang thirst racked with e-
their caps family making signals toward ou' lines,
over which they could the white flag waving, and
not to be able 10 help them. They lay where they
fell had scrambled into the holes formed by shells;
and there they had been for 80 hours-oh how long
and how dreadful in their WEAKNESS An officer told
me that one soldier who close to the abats when
he saw few men come out OF an embrasute raised
himself on his elbow and fearing he should be
noticed and passed by raised his cap on stick aud
waved it till he fell back exhausted. Again he rose,
and managed to tear off bis shirt, which he
a. itated in the air till his strength faied him. His
face could be through glass, and my friend said
he never could forget the expression of resignation
and despair with which the poor fellow at last aban-
doned his useless efforts and folded his shirt under his
head 10 await the mercy of Heaven. Whether he was
alive or OF when our men went out cannot say; but
five hours of thirst, fever and pain under fierce
would make awful odds against him. The red coats

the abaits of the Redan and blue and gray coats
