There was fcareey DAY without some insult being OF

THE DISASTROUS DEFEAT AT RvAs llTH APRIL, ls56-wHy
| WAS THB HATTIE LOST?
That lost-most ingloriously l0st-is q point
conceded by every ofcer IN the service Of General VII
liam Hunbug. That it was lost is apparent, from this
fact--he went to take Rvas ard he did not do it. If
more evidence is wanting addoce this damning proof

were buried by his enemies and the latter at least as
mary vved their wounds al ow prisoners OF war
We repat the queston-Why was the battle lost2 For
neelec'ipg an elementary rule Of warfare-one which
is urgently insisted upon by every military writer
from Xerophon down to Scott; and that rule is,
despise yorr enemy, but prepare to hgh, against I
puans rs If each man Goiiah OF Gath. But what
did this military alb ,rton, this miserable caricature
upon con sense, do? sert his soldors distance
twenty leagues without sufeiency of provisions for

Kewen, yaor Brewster and Colonel Piper urgently insist
