Gonta

After this terrible event, Gonta, who took the command of all the rebels, pursued the work of carnage. Detachments of troops pillaged Granof, Toplik, Daszof, Tulczyn, Monasterzyska, Haysyn, Bossovka, and Ladiszyn, while the inferior chiefs carried desolation as far as Balta, on the banks of the Dniester, in the Pobereze, and even to Turkey, as well as to the environs of K'low. Soon after, however, some bands of the Haidamaques were completely exterminated by Nekrassa with his Polish troops. The communes of Ositna, Kuzminogrobla, Subska, Siennitsa, and Podwysokie, signalized themselves by an heroic resistance and an unalterable attachment to their masters, who nobly recompensed them.
