Colonel Eman, one of the vei-y best officers in this army, — a man of singular calmness and bravery, who was beloved by his regiment, his officers and men, and whose loss is lamented by all who knew him, was shot through the lungs as he was getting his men into order. His sword arm was uplifted over his head at the time, and it was thought his lungs were uninjured. The surgeon, when he was carried back, told him so, but he knew too well such hopes were vain. " I feel I am bleeding internally," he said, with a sad smile. He died that night. Two captains of the same regiment fell beside him — Corry and Lockhart. Captain Rowlands, who veiy much distinguished himself, had the mo.st extraordinary escapes, and was only sliglitly wounded, though hit in two places.
Hamilton, Maude, and Kingscote are severely wounded. Major Pratt is sliglitly wounded; 4 sergeants and 30 privates were killed; 1 coi-poral and 12 privates were missing; about GO others are severely wounded, and 73 lire slightly wounded — making a total loss of 18-1. The 49th, who were in reserve, lost 1 officer killed, 2 wounded, 2 privates killed, and 23 wounded. For the last thirty minutes of this contest the English, having exhausted their ammunition, threw stones at their opponents, but the Russians retaliated with terrible effect by " hand-grape" and small cannonshot, which they hurled at our men. Captain Rowlands was knocked down and stunned by one of these missiles, which hit him right on the eye. As soon as he recovered and got up, he was struck by another grape-shot in the very same place, and knocked down again.
The 3()th Regiment was formed in the fourth parallel, left in front, on the right of the 55th, and when the storming party moved out of the fifth parallel the su])ports occupied it, and were immediately ordered to advance on the salient angle of the Redan by three companies at a time from the left. The distance from the place in which they were posted up to the salient considerably exceeded 200 yards, and as the men had to cut across as quickly as they could in order to escape the raking tire of grape, and to support the regiments in front, they were breathless when they arrived at the ditch. When tliey arrived, all blown by this double, they found only two scaling ladders at the scarp and two more at the other side to climb up to the parapet.
They got over, however, and ascended the face of tlie Redan. By the time the supports got up the Russians were pushing up their reserves in great fbi'ce, and had already got some iieldpleces up to the breastwork, and the regiment falling Into the train of all around them, instead of advancing, began to fire from the parapet and upper traverses till all their ammunition was exhausted, when they commenced pelting the Russians with stones. In this condition no attempts were made to move the reserves whatever, while the Russians accuraalated mass after mass upon them from the open ground In rear of the Redan, and deployed their columns on the breastwork, wlience they delivered a severe fire upon us. The whole garrison of the I\la!akhoff and their svipports also came down on the left tiank of the Redan and added to our assailants, and Indeed there was reason to fight, for the possession of the Redan would have destroyed the enemy's chance of escape.
In this gallant regiment there were 16 olficers, 23 sergeants, &c., and 384 privates; on marching down to the trenches 1 officer was killed and 10 were wounded, 6 sergeants were wounded, 41 privates were IGO ATTACK ON THE REDAN. killed and 101 privates were wounded, and 2 officers and 6 privates have since died of their wounds. The 55th Avas the support along with the 30th, and was stationed in the fourth parallel till the assaulting columns had cleared out of the iiith parallel, wliich it then occupied, and left soon afterwards to mingle in the melee at the salient of the Redan. Poor Lieut.-Colonel Cuddy, who assumed the command when Lieut.-Colonel Cure was wounded in the right arm, was killed as he led his men up the open to the face of the Kedan; and of the remaining 10 officers who went out with the regiment Captain Morgan, acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Brigadier, had his arm broken.
