admiration Of the Light Brigade charge
that they have generally devoted but
little space to that Of the Heavy Brig

nevertheless. The Heavies are dragoon
guards-large, strong men, and, with
their scarlet jackets, white gauntlets and
with the exception of the Greys, whp
wore bearskins) brass helmets, they
made gallant show as charging with
sabers en- tierce, the turf flying from the
hoofs OF the horses and the earth literal
ly trembling undei their laundering
rush, they struck the enemy with shock
that could be heard all over the valley,
and wi h On effect that almost chilled
the blood of the beholder. They fought,
saber to saber, against great odds, and
won. The light charge was daring,
brilliant dazzling; but at no point did
it appear more SO than when, amid
smoke and flame, they closed on the
battery. Then, when men and horse,
were lost to view, we knew that they
we're still there and doing their dut,
bravely, for, like forked lightning play
ing through a thunder-cloud, we could
see the cleaning and flashing Of theil
sabers and lances. have beheld man,

in the Boston Commercial Bulletin, bu
the charges Of Balaklava will remain
fresh in my memory while life lasts.

At ? o'clock the pleuro-pneumonia bill was
taken up. Plumb explained its provisions

passage. Tho principal cattle associations
of the country, he stated, We're i'll favor of such
| legislation. Mcpherson declared that neither
