" At daybreak the enemy got our range in the building, and kept pour- ing their shot and shell into us, kill- ing numbers. One pom‘ fellow, an assistant surgeon in the artillery. was anxious for me to assist him in an operation. I was on my way with him to do it ; the shots were whist- lling all about us. I said, ‘ Well, :BetramJ wish I could see my way out of this.’ ‘ Oh.’ he said. ‘there's ‘no danger whatever.’ Next min- lute he was shot dead beside me,-.. Two minutes before he Spoke of the pleasure he expected in rejoining his wife and child at Lucknow. Our situation was now very critical. The enemy were passing very close, and kept up a storm of shot, shell, and musketry on us. We were cut off‘ from the main body of the army by about a mile, and they could not help us, as they themselves were fight- ,ing hard. At last the Colonel came l to me, and told me that his arrange- iments were perfected ; he would give me a guard of 150 men, and with them I was to get the wounded into the entrenched camp as best I could. I got the wounded ready in a string, and after a long,r breath I .lel't the building. For 200 yards the jenemy did us no harm, but here we ‘ had to cross a deepish riverâ€"it took me nearly up to my chest ; and such a fire we got into here!

On look- tl ing aroundl found that the palm-y“ quin bearers Were being killed from “ the walls, and the remaining flung down the wounded, and no menace or entreaty could prevail on them‘ to lift them again. I tried to geta‘ few wounded together ; but by this, time the Sepoys had gathered F around us on every house-top, and ‘ had nothing to do but bring us down t at their leisure. All hope seemed a gene ; but as a last resource, I ran I with four others into a small one- u storied house, three rooms on a , floor, all doors and windows. Other fugitives now joined usâ€"soldiers from the escort who hacl escaped. and two badly wounded officers, The Sepoys now commenced yell- ing fearfully. I calculated their numbers at from 500 to 1,000.-« I Their leaders tried to get them to charge down on us, but as often as they came on we gave them :1 vol- ley, and off went the curs; then they began their yelling again, and reviled us in Ilimlostannee, telling us that in a few minutes we ‘ should be massacred; they were not more than five yards off. but| round the corner, and sheltered [ from our fire. At this time we ex- pected instant death; it seemed incredible that ten effective men could resist 1,000 who were firing a fearful hail of shot through the windows, Three of our number inside were struck down wounded, and this diminished our fire. The Sepoys all this time were massac- ’ ring the wounded men in the palan- quins (we rescued two more wound- ed officers, and five more wounded men) ; perhaps they killed forty by firing volleys at the palanquins.-â€"l “ The rebels now gave up the attempt ; to storm us. but crept up to the: windows and fired in on us. so we} had to lie down on the ground for al time, and let them fire over us; there was no door to the doorway, st - so we made a barricade of sand- bags, by digging the floor rtith bay-‘ onets, and using the dead Sepoys" clothes to hold the sand; we also piled up the dead so as to obstruct‘ men rushing on us. My duties, as‘ the only unwounded officer, were‘ to direct and encourage the menâ€"l {nthâ€"4 as a surgeon, to dress the wounded l â€"as a man, to use a rifle belonging‘ i to a wounded man when he fell.â€"â€" . l After a while we saw that thej enemy were tired of rushing on us ; . i We had lulled over twenty of “)0an and must have wounded manyl w more; this damped them. \Ve now told oll' one man to tire froml each window and three from the“ door. My post was at a window.l [had my revolver, but only fivei shots left in it. I had no second,‘ ’ and, worst ofall, no fresh charges. 1 I must tell you that an eastern win-i s dow means a lattice work. At this‘ Ikept watch and ward. After a time a Sepoy crept up very cauti-l ously. to fire as usual through the window, quite unconscious that at this time a Feringhee had him eov-‘ cred with a revolver. When he got about three yards from me I. shot him dead, and another, who was coming up, was shot by one of the men. For nearly an hour they 9 were very quiet, only firing at a distance. All at once we heard in the street a dull, rumbling noise, which froze me to the very heart.â€" Ijumped up, and said, ' Now, men, now or never. Let us rush out and die in the open air, and not be kill- ed like rats in a hole. Thev are bringing a gun on us.’ The men were quite ready, but we now saw that it was not a gun, butsomething on wheels, with'a heavy planking in front too thick for our shot to en- ter. They brought it to the very ifwindow I was firing at. I could touch it, but my shots were useless. 'To shorten my story. after half-an- e n 6 hour, they set the house in flames, r e Tar-Go -â€".=t_::.a.c=.‘ and we were enabled to escape by breaking through into the second ,‘room, which opened into a large l- square, where we found a shed, C, with large door-ways at intervals ; '- into this we got, carrying our AND YORK RIDINGS’ GAZETTE. wounded. who, strange to say, were re the only ones hurt. Three of them m . cl were mortally wounded whilst we I, i were carrying them; we sound 0, men did not get a scratch. It was C a complete surprise to the enemy ; ti they expected us by the door. and r, not by the way we came, so the c pleasure ofshooting us as we ran j. from the burning house was denied ‘ them, and when they did see u i ithey, with at least 600 men, nly I shot three already wounded men. t It was now three in the afternoon, (3 and our position seemed hopeless. \Ve thought up to this time that l the’Gencral would never leave us 1 without success. but now we ] thought that the Sepoys must have ; quite hemmed in our army. lina- | ginc our horror when we found , that the shed we were in was loop- holed everywhere ; it l.ad been used the day before as a place to fire on our army from, and the Sepoys came creepingr now to the loopholes, firing in suddenly, and offagainmâ€" We now put a man at every loop- hole as far as they would go ; even I wounded were put to watch, and this soon checked the bold, brave Sc- ‘ ‘poy, for whom one British soldier is an object of terrible dread. We soon had a worse alarm. The Sc- poys got on the roof, bored holes throught it. and fired down on us.--- i The first two shots were fired at me, the muzzles of the pieces being ' perhaps four feet from n.0, and nei- thcr shot hurt me beyond a lot of ‘ stufffrom the roof being sent with force into my face, and a trifling ' htirt in my hand. Nothing more wonderful in the way of narrow l escapes was ever seen. This could not last; so We bored through the wall of the shed into the court-yard lbehind, and two of us went cauti- " . onsly out to reconnoitre. For some itiine the Sepoys did not see us, as a it was gccting dark. About fifty 5‘yards off was a mosque, “ith no ’ .one in it, as I found by creeping on ' all-fours into it : but before we could ' get the wounded out we were dis- ‘ icovcred. We now ran back to the .shed. However, we had in the in- terval secured a chatty of excellent - water belonging to the Sepoys. And what a prize it was! The wounded '. were dying with thirst, and we, who had beeii biting cartridges all day, Wcrcjnst as had. lt gave us |one good draught all round, and af- 3Iter it we felt twice the men we did‘ ;.bef0re. Being a long shed, we had a great deal to defend ; but luckily‘ the Sepoys found out that if they3 could fire through the roof, so conldt we, with the advantage of knowingl exactly where they were by thel noise of their feet; so they kept off the roof. We now organized ourl , ‘defence, told off each man to his alarm-post, and told GIT the sentries wan |uq»_. ~w\4 u. w - i and reliefs. Including wounded, S’thcre were nine men fit for scntryw 1 seven men fit to fight, and of these ejsix unhurt, including myself. It 3 I was agreed that, if the Sepoys forc- led the shed, we should rush out and -,‘die outside. By this time all our Bfivonnded were in their possession, [,and they were put to death, with s , horrible tortures, actually before 2 our faces; some were burnt alive 1 in the palanquins ; the shricks of t ithese men chilled one‘s blood. The i terrors of that awful night were al- ,lmost maddening; raging thirst; â€"‘fieree rage against those who. as i, we thought, had, without an attempt J ‘at succour, left us to perish ; uncer- - tainty as to where the Sepoys would 3 next attack us; add to this, the ex- n haustion produced by want of food, V ‘iheat. and anxiety. I now proposed g _ to our men either to fight our way It |back to the rear-guard, or forward 1to the entrenched camp ; but there y were only two who would go, and ‘1 so I refused to go, as we could not 5- for shame desert eight wounded 1- man; still I tried to persuade all to i. i make the trial ; some one might y escape ; as it was, no one could.â€" d Day broke soon after, and we had e 8'] fallen into perfect apathy; our nerves, so highly strung for twenty hours, seemed now to have gone [1' quite the other way.

In five minutes we were all rescued, and in the midst of our own people ; half-an-hour after We were settled down in the King of Oude's pal- aceâ€"â€"conquerors." There lived in one of the moun- tainous counties of Western Virgi- nia many Dutchmen, and among them one named Henry Snyder; and there Were likewise two broth- ers, called Jake and George Ful- wiler; they were all rich and each owned a mill. Henry Snyder was subject to slight fits ofdcrangcmcnt, but they were not of such a nature as to render him disagreeable to any one. He merely conceived himself to be the Supreme Ruler of the universe ; and while laboring under this infatuation, had himself a throne built, on which he sat to try the causes of all those who of- fended him ; and passed them off to heaven or hell, as his humor prompt- edâ€"he representing both the char- acter ofjudge and culprit. lt happened one day that some difficulty occurred between Henry Snyder and the two Fulwilcrs, on account of their mills ; when, to be avenged, chry Snyder look along with him a book in which he record- ed his judgments, and mounted his throne to try their causes. He was heard to pass the following judgements :â€" Having prepared himself, he call- ed before him George Fulu'ilcr.â€" ‘ Shorgc Fulwiler, stand up.’-â€"â€" What has you been doiu in dis lower wurid 1' ‘ All: 1.0“, I does not know.’ "Well, Slmrge Fulwilcr, hasn’t you got a mill ?’ ‘ Yes, I Ims.’ " Wull, Shorgc Fulwilcr, didn‘t you ever take too much toll ’ ‘ Yes, I hasâ€"when der water wash low, and main stones wash du'l, I take a Icollc too much toll.’ ‘ ‘Vcll, dun, Shorgc, you must go to dcr left, mid dcr goals.’ ‘ Well, Shake Fulwiler, now you stand up. \Vlmt hush you been doin’ in dish lower world 1’ ' All I Lort. ldocs not know.’ ‘Wull, Shake Fulwilcr, hasn’t you v I , go! .1 mill?

Last month a banker in Dubnque suspended payment under such sus- picions circumstances that many ol‘ the sufl‘erers talked loudly of lynch- ing him. An Irishman, Mr. Mich-‘ ael Donclly, had lost 86,000 by his misplaced confidence, and of this man‘s rage Mr. 'l‘readwell, the banker, was so apprehensive that‘ he made up his mind, whenever they met. it would be a case of pis- ‘tols for two. What was the de- faulting banker’s astonishment when, accidentally meeting his vic- ,tim one morning, the defrauded lman approached him with a beam- ing countenance and extended hand, lsixying. “And would ye be after cutting me in that fashion?

I was mighty sorry to hear of your misfortune!” ” You are :1 noble specimen of the ould country F” said the banker, trying to give his accent the rich Irish broguc, as a compliment. .The banker, who had made a snug profit out of his failure, went home, rubbing his hands and licking his financiai chops over his anticipa- lcd $10,000 additional Ert out of the confiding Irishman. “ Pleasant dramcs to yt Michael D0nelly, as they again shaking him warmly hand.

He then went to a safe and took out a quan- tity of golden coin, counted it out to the lady: who began to count it over with great gravity. In the mean- time. Mr. Michael Donelly engaged the banker in pleasant conversation. All nfa sudden the Indy deposited the gold in a strong bag and. say- ing. “ Faix.
