HE1NTzELMAN CHARGED.
The whole corps of this famos warrior
confident that a recovery of the fortunes
OF the time could be made, prepared tc
give another great effort to retrieve the
fortunes Of the day and the cause of the
coun ry. Waterloo did not know such
a charge of horse and foot, while our
batteries upon the hill tops far and near
played necessarily upon the foe.
Signals were given TO the Galcna to
cease firing when the advance was deter
mined upon, the Ga.cna having already
hauled off. This was done by consccu-
lively placed signal officers all the way

vigorously bclching fire and ball at every

SO close TO the Rebels that they might
have hallocd the names of each, man to
