The Seattle Telegraph has ceased pub

of the Post-Intelligencer. We regret the
suspension OF the Telegraph. for, edi-
te-ially, it has stood as the fairest. most
tolerant daily in the state. Il did not
equal the P.-I. as a newspaper, but po-
iitically 1t was as high above ii as the

hit with CIubbed Musket In u wild Vic-
torious Charge.

So long ps the tieldpieces of the
enemy continued to play on our front
we did not mind them, for the fire was
SO high that everything went over our
heads and into the Third brigade in re-
serve. by and by, however, II battery
moved To the left and got flank fire
on the line, and then we realized that
one OF two things must speedily hap
pen-the whole brigade must fall back,
leaving wide gap Ia the lines, or u
regiment would be ordered to charge
the guns Not more than three or
four shells had fallen among us when
the order came. Our regiment changed
| front and dressed its lines, with six
guns belching shot and shell at us
from the ridge half mile away.
We front 10 the west and are also on
u ridge. Between the two ridges is
open ground, with two fences TO climb
or throw down, There is also high
way running parallel with our lines,
and at the base of our ridge is u BUSH
fringed gully which In the spring Is II
creek. After we have crossed the high
way and the fence on the far side we
must dash up green slope on which
there Is not even a bush for cover We
know that the guns are supported by
infantry, but we have no idea oi the
number, We had five minutes in
which 10 survey the ground. Then
the word came down tho lines TO take
"open order and not stop to level tho
fences, and we moved forward, As we
did so u shell killed and wounded six

We were too low for the artillery TO
reach us now, but lines OF men who
seemed almost within reach suddenly
rose and poured vollcy after volley Of
musketry into us ns we waited for the
luggards TO come up and get our lines
in some sort Of shape for the final
effort One would have thought that
that fire would annihilate us, but only
one fell here and there. The top rails
Of the fence were somewhat decayed
and as the bullets struck them the
splintcrs flew In showers We could
not hear the orders, but the lines
dressed, n great cheer ran from right
10 left, and away we went up the slope.
The guns were being hauled off, aud
between us and them were five hundred
infantry. We did not halt to deliver a
volley, but went at them with the
bayonet saw their feet and ankles
under the smoke as they fired volley
into our faces and the next instant we
were among them. No man could tell
you just what happened for the next

den we emerged from the smoke and
made rush at two pieces Of artillery
which had been delayed by losing some
Of the horses. We ran right over them,
