The Daily Telegrapth'e eorrespondent, setts a Loadem despatch, It appears that the battle orders, drawn up by Gee- eral Clery, provided for the effective support t4 the artillery by Geaeral Bartou's and General laundoealdre bri- gades. Tnose were never completed. General Hart missed his way, Laird Dundonald failed to support, and Gen- ertai Barton got pert of bis forces in an untenable position.

Froni the buildiage and lines of trenches south of the river and from the river bank itself the Boors fired at our gunuers and footmen, and from the trenehes on the northern side a Lho Tugela River and frona Fort Wylie end elsewhere they sent out a hurricane. of Imam hail, and tha bullets venomously rainett ueon the grimed in all directions, raising puffs of dust and tearing through the air with shrill eounds. Few bane ever seeaao beevn and so deadly a fuai, lade; but neither the British gunners nor tbc infantry hesiteted oz uinced- Caneert were wbeekd Ipto pasition, though many of the horses and Men were sbot down ere the matioeuvre was completed, and our bedamitable saidiere walked erect and straight on- ward. Not even Rome in her palm - lest days ever possessed more devoted sons. As the gladiatiars marched, proud and beaming, to meet death, so the Britian eoldiere doomed to die sa- luted ead then with nlnerity, st ped forward to do their duty -glory or the grave, Anglo-Saxou soldiers always advance that way. I asked on American who had seen warfare at home, in Cuba and nfaxilla, if his own countrymen generally did this, and be answered :-"Yea ; it is marvellous, biet, wasteful." Closer and closer walked the soldiers to the Boer trenches, until withiu 400 yards of the nearest rifle pits. Then, lying down, they returned the fire, but there was little of nothing to aim at HEROISM OF THE IRISH, By 7.16 the Irish brigade had driv- eri the Boers to the north bank of the Tugela. They found that the eaemy had planted the ground with barbed wire entauglemexits. Even in the bed of the river berbed wire was laid down. Into the water went the Dub. lin Inuiskillings, Borderers and Con-, rtaughts, but it was found at the ford tbat the Boers had Cunningly &Muted the river, and there was ten feet of water where ordinarily it is bat knee deep. They strove tofind the cross- ings, and many a fine fellow, with his weight of ammunition and accoutre- ments, was drowned. It was a des- perate and serious situation. The attack upon the right was making no progress, and the hearts of the men had reached an apparent impasse, But there were furious and angry Irish- men who had resolved to get 13.01' OSS somehow. By dint of scrambling - from rock to reek and swimming, a number won the oilier side, Yet most of them found that they had lout passed across a winding spruit. The Tugela still lay in front, and all the while the murderous fire of cannon and Mauser crashed and comrades fell, weltering- in their blood. In the meanwhile Colonel Long had lost his guns, and Generals Buller and Clery with their Staffs and escorts had ridden to the scene. TRIED TO SAVE THE GUNS. The spouting hail of lead and iron snapped and spluttered, and the dust puffed more than ever. Lord Roberts' son, with Captains Sehofield and Con - grove, volunteered to ride out and en- deavor to save the two field batteries in the open. Readily other volunteers were found. Corporals from the lines - Men and drivers of the ammunition waggons, taking spare teams, galloped out and men and, aorses again be- gan falling on every side.
