Graphic Description Of the Terrible Charge

six Hundred at Balaklava is thus de
Iscribed in q story in the Scottish
American, entitled Zone of the sSia
Hundred"
Recoiling before the charges of oul
Heavy Brigade, the Russian horse
and foot had retired into narrow
gorge at the head of the long green
valley. There thirty pieces of cannon
were in position, and in the rear Of
them were formed six solid columns
of cavalry and six of infantry, while
other dense masses occupied the slopes
beyond.
Notwithstanding this formidable ar
ray, in an almost unassailable posi-
ton, message was received by Lord
Lucan from Captain Lewis Edward
Nolan, of the Fifteenth Hussars, un-
doubtedly one of the bravest of the
brave, to the effect that the Light
Brigade was to carry those thirty
pieces of cannon.
Another account says he simply
pointed to the guns with his sword,
and said, ave should take them" and
that the motion was taken for an or
der.
Ere many minutes were passed
poor Nolan paid the full penalty OF
this misconception or error in judg-
ment-if error it was.
Perilous, rash and desperate though
the attempt, Lord Lucan reluctantly
ordered the Earl of Cardigan to adj
vance with his brigade, and cheerfully
we obeyed the startling order. We
numbered only six hundred and seven
horsemen, officers included.
Each officer took up the words in
succession-"The bridage will ad.
vance; first squadron, march, trot,
gallopw
And then for the first time, as | led
my squadron on, did | become aware
how thirsty we unconsciousIy become
when under fire. My lips were quite
baked, yet the morning air was moist
and cool. We had before us mile
and half to gallop over, level and
open ground, encountered here and
there by the dead and wounded men
and horses of the previous encounter;
but these we. swept over in our adj
vance towards where the black and
glim artillery stood, with round and
gaping muzzles before the solid array
of Russian horses and foot those
dark columns in long gray capotes,
all cross bcltcd, with fixed bayonets
in the sun; those darker
and less distinct clouds of horsemen,
whose forest of lances, sword blades
and brighter appointments glittered
aud flashed from among their unnum-
bered masses.
On and on we rode, and faces
flushed red, and hearts beat wildly, |
while the Earl, brave as an English
gentleman should be, with all his
faults of temper, led US on with bran
dished sword. Every hand was firm
on the bride, every grasp was firm on
the sword, every knee was pressed to
the saddle laps, every rowel was
tinged with blood; so, holster to hol.
ster and boot to boot, the squadrons
were pressing on.
Charged escaped me, almost be-
fore the time, and then the maddened
horses rushed on at full racing speed,
with long, invigorating strides. Our
ances were all unslung, and in the
rest, the banneroles futtering before
the horses heads and outstretched
necks, from which the names were

1.-THE stirrnps, indicating, even IN
death, his reputation as one Of Eng
lands noblest horsemen.
Man after man, horse after horse
are now going down thick and fast
and shrieks, and prayers and curses
rise together to heaven; but the rest
close in from the flank, and firmer,
and denser, wilder and more resolute
than ever we ride the race of DEATH
On and ON yet, stceds snorting,
lances rising and falling, pcnnons fut-
tering, and sabres flashing in the SUM-
shine.
"Steady, lads, steady!" cried Lilo
mel Beverly, as another shower of
grape tore through the squadrons,
and many more went down, though
some of the horses remained riderless
in the rank, and gallopcd mechanical
ly on. For moment, amid the con-
fusion, | saw the Colonel for the last
time as he led us-that noble heart,
that polished gentleman and gallant
lancer. He was deadly pale, for he
was mortally wounded in the left side.
His life-blood was ebbing; but his
sword was still uplfted. and a light
was flashing in his eyes, which al
ready could see the "glories and the
terrors of the unknown world"
"Close up, gentlemen and comradesl
Keep your horses we'll in hand; but
spur on-charge, and charge home!
Hurrah!"
A ball hummed pasta twenty -four
pound shot, apparently-and where
was Lionel Beverley?
Doubled up-a dead and CHASTITY
heap-under dying and mangled
charger! The Eext who fell was my
friend MILFORD. If he was somewhat
of dandy in England, there was no
want of pluck in him here. Leading
his troops, he fell close by me, and |
leaped my horse over him as he rolled
past, churning mouthful of grass and
earth, his features awfully convulsed,
and his limbs trembling in their death
agony. Poor Fred MILFORD!
On and yet on! Many familiar
face is gone now; the gaps are fear
full, and men who were ON the TANKS,
now find themselves in the centre.
On we still gallop toward that
mouth of fre-on, and fcarlessly.
The best blood of the three Kingdoms
is in our ranks, all we'll and nobiy
mounted, the flower of our noble cav
alry-on yet like a whirlwind, the
hearty British "Hurrah! hurrah! hur-
rahw ringing in our ears; the hearts
blood seems mounting to the brain
and now we are upon them! Now
the red flashing muzzles of the cannon
are passed, the gunners are throwing
under the wheels and tim.
bers, where we cut them down, and
spear or pin them to the turf. Others
are rushing for shelter to their squares
Of infantry, under whose rifles they
lie fiat and securely, while sheets of
lead are tearing through us.
Oh, the superIative bitterness of
that moment, when, with all our
horses blown, | look back and see that
we are without supports!
The guns are takon-the gunners
almost annihilated; our horses are
We have no aid, and no
resource but to ride back, under such
! concentrated fire as troops were
never before exposed to.
Its all up-three's about-retire!"
A single trumpet feebly gives the
,all, and away we 90.

The county treasurer promptly de-
MED all knowledge ofany such deficit,

have called on us and also say, they

Won Coelln's report and can find no

ave are living in period;of con-
traction and economy, and we are
constantly complaining, that too much
money 10 expended for all ouc public
enterprises. Some persons are very
much opposed to the county snperin-
tendency as too expensive but while
It costs the state little over $4,000
each year, there was wasted, lost, sto-
len or unaccounted for during the
financial year 1875-76, the sum Of $144,-
[67452. In my summary Of statistics,
I will show, what loss the people have
sustained during the last five years,
BY the careless management ofAchool
funds. The remarks of nearly al
county superintendents, either -
printed in this report or in private
letters, complain Of this evil. The
remedies suggested are various. My
own opinion Il, that the county super
intendent ought to be the auditing
officer, with whom each treasurer
must settle at . fixed time, and II he
found unsble to account for the funds
intrusted to him, the county superin-
tendent should be authorized to enter
suit in behalf Of the district against
the b0ndsmen of tie treasurer. In
this way, there will be . protection to
the people against the unlawful or
careless disposition OF school funds"
So we may reasonably infer that This
apparent large deficit is made to APP
pear from lack Of reports being made
as they should be to the proper OFF,
GERS. That there is any such real de-
felt no ono will believe for q mo-
ment.
