When in .the Garden of Eden, our first parents ate.of that fruit " whose mortal taste _ brought death into our world and all our wo," instead of being visited with swift and everlasting destruction, God's mercy and JRove were moved to-rede'em and save them, and id-leaving that place, with which were associated the happy recollections of their innocency, they carried with them the prom. ise that the seed of the woman should bruise :the serpent's head. In the fulfilment of this promise, God saw ft to raise. up this chosen people, who through the long night of sin which inter. vened between the flood and the " Advent," should keep up the light of His knowledge in the world, who should 'be tOe depository of His word, and through whom should come that Messiah who should destroy the works of the devil, and 'set up a kingdom that should fill the whole earth. Ip their forms of worship- and in the ordinances pertaining thereto, was -to be set forth a representation of that wonderful reality which astonished the heavens, and brought salvation to the ruined race of Adam. In the sacrifices which -smoked upon their altars, and in their cere. monies of carnal purification, were shadow ed forth. that last great sacrifice which was to be offered up once, in the end of the world, and which by'-virtue'of its superior efficacy forever swept away the types that told of its coming, and made forever perfect those who came unto and trusted in it; whilst they at 'the same time indicated the pure and holy character of that - religion which should re quire for its subjects, "the pure in-heart." Such then we take.to be the calling of the Israelitish race whose- origin and peculiari. ties.have been briefly sketched in preceeding -articles, and we now, close the series with some reflections on its ultimate destiny. The interpretation of prophecy fulfilled, -is comparatively -an easy matter, for it then has become a thing of history ; but the in terpretation of that which is to come, is, like all things- pertaining to futurity, neces sarily a doubtful and uncertain business. What we have to offer therefore is done with all due deference, and not with the confi dence of one who feels that he can sustain his position. We think then the Scriptures teach that as the Jews returned from the bondage of Babylon to the- liberty of their earthly Ca. naan, so they will return from their spiritual captivity to the liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And we think moreover that the ."signs of the times" indicate a near ap proach to this " devoutly to be wished for consummation." How this is to be done ;we cannot tell, or whether in its accom plishment they will be restored to their an cient inheritance, is a matter of speculation rather. than of certainty. It may be that theI 'land of Jiadea- will be in some way connect ed with their deliverance and return. Some persons viewing the subject too much per haps in a political aspect, seem to think that the Rothschilds, by their immense wealth, aided perchance by others of ample means, - will take advantage -of the disturbances in the East, which are so effecting the Turkish -Empire, now the owner of Palestine, to ef -feet a-peenniary negotiation, -by which this ancient Jewish territory will revert to its for -,mer- proprietors. Indeed it has been inti mated that such a scheme is now under con sideration. In regard to this we have only to say that God can make Rothschilds, or any one else to effect His purposes; and if He intends things to be worked in that way, they will surely do His bidding. But let it be remembered, that there have been efforts made " to retake and build Jerusa l'em" more than once' since it has lain desolate, and that too under circumstances which promised quite as much success as Jhze present condition of affairs seem to im pf.One Julian it is said tried it, in order to- subvert Christianity, but failing, cried at $ghe end, "Thou-hast conquered, 0 Galhile .an." 'One Peter the Hermit,, raised a vast multitude to go to the,relief of the oppressed ghristians of Palestine, but perished with bis deluded followers in the mad enterprise. ~for generations after was seen arnly after army of European chivalry, disciplined in thb art of war and inured to the toils and hardships-of military life; with- means un litnited, crusading ,to Jerusalem to recover " the Holy Sepulchre" from the dominion of the Saracem. Impelled by a religious vene ratioffrthat sacred ground, and the real -and pretepdedr te'lics ofa faith once pure, and with a prensise oficertain salvation to all who4 might'fhll in the'undertaking, thous ands upon -.thousands 'gatiered- around the stan'dardgs of their respective- leaders, and hastened to' the conflict whoere turbaned in fidel-.and belted knight- met- in fiere. and deadlg strife. All- the power of the'Chiis aedoin of t he ngiddle ages, was brought to hear in this great contest; but the flag oi * e. aynimn still floats froati thewalls of the holy City. Jeusalem is still trodden diown of the Gentiles, and will be " until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." And so can no power on earth frustrate the designs of God. He who dwells in heaven above, and rules in the earth beneath, makes the wrath of man to praise Him, ana the remainder of wrath He restrains. But will" the Jews be gathered together again ? The Scriptures we think evidently thus teach. The vail which is on the heart of the Jew; Paul says will be removed. But how this is to be done, or when it will be done, we presume not to- say. Neither can we say where it will be done. It -may be they will as a nation return to Jerusalem, as converts to the Christian faith. Or they may remain scattered as tley are until Jesus comes again to gather His elect both of Jews and Gentiles, when He may be with them personally for a time -at Jerusalem, from whence the Church may spread over the world, purified from its wicked inhabitants, and the Jewish name and faith be absorbed in the fulness of the glory of the Gospel of Christ. We say all this may be, not that it will be. It is-a subject that certainly should engage the attention of the household of faith, whilst it should in the discharge of the trust committed to it, wait patiently for the developments that. God may please to make, assured that " He who cometh will come, and will not tarry." THE SCIENCE OF GEOLOGY. Tats is a subject with which we profess to have but a slender acquaintance. From what we do know however, we are inclined to think that many things taught by the avans are contrary to " the Scriptures," and not sustained by facts and reason. The " de velopment" and "fire". theories have always seemed to us highly objectionable, and as may readily be supposed; the article below, taken from the Scientic American, has not had a tendency -to change our opinion in respect to the internal heat which goes on increasing in intensity, until, as seems to us, fire itself would be dissolved before the earth's centre is reached, and a degree of 'heat be engendered which would burst the~shell in to fragients, though it were bound around with brass and iron bands, made with all the metal in its bowels. We should not be sur prised if after all we had to come back and learn some things from Israel's old law giver and historian. Many men of' scientific- attainments be lieve and teach that the materials of our globe were. once in a red hot molton state, and that the interior of the earth is now a mass of fiery matter. It is a hypothesis which is taught in our colleges, and is found to prevail among those who have been termed "the learned in the speculative sci ences." 'hose who teach this hypothesis, have calculated the earth's crust to be only about sixty miles in thickness. In describing the primitive condition of the earth, they assert, that at one time all its matter existed in a state of gas ; then " there came plhysi. cal and chemical action (loose expressions) in the nebulous mass,. producing light and heat causing a general conflagration, which resulted in the formation of that mineral mass which compasses our globe." ""It is ~generally admitted," says the Rev. John 0. Means, in the Bibliotheca Sacra for A pril last, " by geologists, that the result of these chemical combinations producing combus tions, was a melted incandescent body, which by radiation, became solid in the exterior only ; thus a solid crust was formed covering a burning fluid mass." The proof adduced for this interior fire is volcanoes, hot springs, and the increase of heat in deep mines. Those who teach this hypothesis, also assert, that the sun on account of its size, has not cooled dowvn to the condition of our globe, but it is passing slowly into that condition; hence a perioli must arrive-if true-when the sun will cease to give light, and when it will become a dark body. Strange too as it may appear, however, the Rev. J. 0. Means, who believes in this theory so hearti. ly, confutes himself in stating what he be lieves is the cause of the solar light, by attributing it to atmosphere of burning gas, the sun itself being a dai-k central body. If it be true that the sun has an atmosphere of burning luminous gas, and his body is a dark object, no stronger argument could ever be presented against the sun ever being a molten fiery mass. If the matter of which our earth is corn posed was once in a state of gas, we do not knowv of any chemical lawv, whereby it could have become a molten burning mass. All chemical laws are opposed to snch a view of the question. Matter in a gaseous state be comes fluid by giving out great quantities of heat; It contains less heat in' a solid or fluid than a gaseous state. Steam gives out about one thousand degrees of heat in becoming water. If -our globe was once in a state of gas what could have become, of the immense amount of heat which must have been given out when it became fluid. It could not be come hotte,' than it was in a state of gas, exceting by compression, the same as air is compressed in a condenser for experimental purposes. There is no positive evidence that this earth was -ever in a molten state, or that its central part. is-now a mass of fire. 'rho granite rocks do not exhiibit the marks of fire. If this earth hgd' once been a molton mass they would be a homogenous slag, composed of all Ike known' metals and min erals, but such is not their composition. There is also rno positivo evidence that the Water ('n thermal springs is heated by inter inl fire in the earth, or that mines, from the saue cause, become warmer as they increase ionwpB 'Tho practical scientific miners of Conalattribute 'the temperature of mines to thie docpnimpositioi of minerals .therein, mines, and the former mines become cooler as the qre diminishes, although they may be. increasing in depth. The waters of certain mines once hot have become cool as the ore diminished and the shafts descended. Wa. ter flowing through mines containing iron and copper pyrites must produce decompo. sition, and generat great heat; this is proof against the internal heat of the earth being the cause of hot water springs and heat in mines.-Scientific American.

THE YOUNG REBEL; A TAPE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. IN a small farm house, towards the close of the year 1780, sat an old man, his wife and an1 only son. The face of the father appeared troubled; at times he looked thoughtfully on the floor, and then he would gaze long and wistrully at his son, a fine manly youth of twventy. At'length he said: " David, this is a disastrous news from Camden. God knows what will become of the country now! Congress needs every arm that is capable-ah, me. I wish this old wound I got in the old French war had not lamed me-but for it, I should now he shouldering my musket and marching to the defence of my country !". Both son and mother looked up at these words. The old lady ceased knitting .and gazed inquiringly at her boy, and'it was evi dent, from the expression of her face, that patriotism and motherly affection were at variance in her bosom. .The son, however, after encountering his father's eyes for a mo. ment, turned confusedly away. The old man's brow darkened, and he said warmly: " David, wvhy do you linger about the vil lage, when your country needs your services so much I-why my son .I am ashamed of you. Twice before this . have I spoken to you on this subject, but you -appeat- to have no spirit. What, will you see us trampled upon by the brutal mercenaries of- Britain, and still lie here supinelyi For shame, David, for shame ! I will not call you my son. -Long since you ought to have been in the army !" " Joshua, Joshua," interposed the mother, " David is but a youth ; then do not speak to him so harshly. He cannot jet feel what you feel, who - have fought so- many hard battles against -our country's enemies Joshua, he is buta bdy. -" A boy, indeed, Deborah! such boys as David have already gained imperishable laurels since the war commenced. I could name a host of 'em--why .wvere .it not for the boys of our land where would-the ar. my be, which I dare say is one half com posed of boys of David's age ?" The old mnan was excited, and it was the -first unkind word he had ever spoken to his boy. ,David arose and left the house. He walked some distance apparently in deep thought. *" What will not woman do 1" he mar. mued, " hero [ -have been lingering about the village, when I should have been off long ago. And what for I Why to meet it pret ty gui.l n to listen to her musical voice ; but I'll now be myself again ! What did he call me ! Was it not coward! Now, by heavens, I will learn him that he has a son who possesses the spirit of his father ! Away, then with it, foi-I feel that I am called upon to act, no -longer dream ! Ere a fortnight my father shall hear of me, or else I lose my life in -striviqa for it."-And with this resolutiombph tqrqed about anA4 rtraced his tmt . When he reachede he sought the sta. ble, saddled -a..hoi and mounting him struck into a gallop,. ihich continued for several miles. At leJ' he stopped and looked' up at the wi,,. ~ s.of a farm-house, half hid by the el trees. This was the residence of Mar nker, the mistress of his heart. - The 7' ts showed that the family had not retie rest, and be re solved to pay her.a vi before his departure. She was alone woie e entered and a few words acquainted her with his-determination. She burst into tears: " Nay, Mary," he jaid, "-you must not unman me. At drst Iresolved to leave you without a farewell, foe I knew' how much you dreaded my taking an active part in this struggle. 'But I could not be so cruel as to desert you without Ono word of farewell. " I wili compose n.myself," said the fair girl with an effort to sile. " 1 know I have been wrong to pers . yo to stay ; but you cannot imagine 'anxieties I suffer on account of my bro,* -, and I could not bear to have you e lter their danger. But since this dreadfi efeat at Camden I feel that every man ' ated by our country. Go, then, dearest, and God be with'you. My prayers shall attend'you night- and day." David pressed thk now weeping girl to his bosom, snatched ahlijgty kiss at the sound of approaching footste s wrung her' hand and was gone. The next day he lWthe neighborhood of his father's house,artmed with a musket and mounted on a sturdy borse. -His destination was the American ea p, then far northward ; but as the intervening'Oountry was filled with the enemy, he knew there would. be consider able address required totaffect his purpose. Before his departure he.saw a few of his old playmates, who proo d to follow him as soon as possible. Night found him near a lonely farmhouse, to which he proceeded boldly in pursuit of a lodging. -.: . At first the occupant treated' him rather coldly, but a chance expression convincing David that his hot.vas a tory, he affected the same political dree, and he was imme. diately warmly we -med.. -The Royalist produced his cider after supper, and insisted that David should joi him In his potations ; this the young man. did, taking care not to indulge too freely, wbijethe farmer overjoyed to find what he slipposd a new recruit for his party, drank without stint and became more and more comm Ticati've. To his hor roi David soon leaha that a party of Roya lists led by Major W~on, celebrated for his toryism 'and ruthless were to start early &be-ensuing dayeom 'at apedition to seize and hang the two Bunkbrs'(Mary's brothers) who had made themselves particularly ob. noxious to the royalist leaders. David knew enough of this warfare to be assured that no mercy could be shown his friends ; he also knew enough of the character of the Major to suspect that some strong personal motive had led to the planning of so distant an ex pedition when there were others as inviting nearer home.-He accordingly set himself to discover from his half-inebriated compan. ion the truth. Nor was it long before suc cess crowned his adroit cross-examination. " Why, you see," said the host, " 1 be lieve there's a little revenge for a slight re ceived from, these fellows's sister, mixed up with the Major's desire to catch, the Bun kers. The girl is very pretty they say, and the Major, when she was down here on a visit last year--before the, war broke out wanted to marry her, but she would have nothing to say to him. Ever since he has vowed to make her rue the day. You may depend on it he will have her on 'his own terms now ! But yonder comes the . major, now," said our host, starting up, " 1 will introduce you to him at once-a merry fel low you'll find him. Lord love you he's as bravo as a lion. David though horrified at the diabolical plot he had heard, saw the necessity of dis sembling in order to learn further of the to ry's plans and find means, if possible to cir umvent them. He arose tirerefore and shook the major's hand wvarmly, pledged him imme diately in a brimmer, and so contrived to make the royalists believe that he was anx ious to join the~ troops and take part against the rebels. This induced the major tp be unusually civil,' for he wished to secure so athletic a recruiL. It was not long before a bargain was struck. David refused, however to sign the'agreement that night, he pretend ed that several others of his friends were disaffected and desirous of joining the tories; and his object, he said was to secure a com mission for himself by inducing them to join. This tempting bait took; the major promis ed him a commission in case of success, and David signified his intention *of setting forth after he had taken a few hours rest in ordet to lose no time in gathering his recruits. The dread of discovery had been con itantlybefore our hero during the negotiation, for he was well.knowni to many of the ma jor's troops, and if any of them - had come up, his feigned name would not secure him from detection. He wished to get off that night, as he proposed ;but to this neither his host nor the major would hear, and he was forced to remain till morning. What was his anguish on awaking next morning, to ear that' the major -had been gone*-.some hours, and was already .on his way to the Bunkers )vith his troops ! Dissembling his anxiety, David partook of a hasty breakfast, and mounting his. horse, rode slowly away. But when out of-sight of the house he struck into a fierce gallop, which he .continued till he came in' sight of a cross road, where was a' tavern. Here he stopped and learned- that the royalists had taken the high road-he turned asidte into a narrower and more cir cuitous one. "It is my only chance to avoid them now," le said, again dashing into a gallop. " Pray God I may reach the settlement in* time to collet a few. of our lads and march' to-the Bunkers.-.There is no hope left." iight had fallen as they expected' hefore the tories were able to reach the vicinity 'of the house they were in search of. At-length, hoever, after a silent march through the ,wods it broke upon their view. A light ...... b...ning at otnn 'of the wijndows. and when they arrived close to the premises, the lively notes of a violin attracted their atten tion, proving that the brothers were not aware of their presence, but were enjoyig themselves in imagined security. " Now, men," whispered the leader of the tories. " When I give the word, fire. a vol. ley at the house, by way. of introducing our. selves; we will then surround the house and enter it." At this instant the deep bay of a dog rang on their:ears, and a large mastiff sprang from under the house and made at-the major. " Fire 1" he cried. Twenty guns broke upon the stillness of' the night=-the dog fell dead-every pane of glass in the windows -were shivered and the .tories yelled like savages. . In an instant the lights in the house were extinguished, the music as quickly -ceased, and a noise was heard- at the door. The to ries .made a rush at it.-But it was already barred and being made out of a stout oak plank resisted all their efforts. A rifle cracked from one of the upper windows and one of the tories fell. desperately wounded.-. Another report succeeded, and another tory fell! - Major Wilson was now fully aware that. both the Banker boys were at home and wide awake. A shed was on the front side of the house and under this the tories, shield ed from the fire of the Bankers, went to work at the door. Suspecting such resistance perhaps from the knowledge of their charac ter-one of the men brought an axe, with which he commenced hewing at the door, and soon cut it in -pieces. Here a-desperate .battle ensued. The brothers were both of them powerful men, and as courageous as they were strong; and now with clubbed ri. fles they disputed the entrance of the whole tory force. The outer" door being small, they stood their ground for half an hour, felling, during that time, some of those who had the temerity to enter first, but finally numbers overcame them, and they were flung upon the floor and bound. The tories in. flamed to madness at the great resistance which had 'been made, and their own losses, now seized the mother and daughter, and made preparations .to hang the brothers be fore their eyes. The ropes were round their necks when the major addressed his men : " Now men, as soon as these villains are dead we. will set fire to the house-the old woman there," he said with a brutal laugh, "may be left inside-but the young. one I. reserve for myself!" " Hist 1" cried one of the tories.-They heard a voice outside the house, The words were spoken low; but the tories heard, ' Now boys, whed I say jfire, give It to them !" A man with blanched cheeks now rushed in, exclaiming: "The yard is full of men!" "Fire!" cried a deep voice from the yard -a general volley succeeded and so well had the aim been directed in the door that several of the tories fell either dead or wounded. In turn the tories retreated up the stairs, when David, our hero, rushed into the room they had -just left, and cut the ropes that bound the Bunkers and their mother and sister. " May Ged bless you for this," cried one of the Bunkers. The two men sprang up, seized their rifles and prepared to retaliate for the treatment they had received. Long and desperate was the battle. The 'tories fought for life; the whigs (or revenge. But at length the whiigs triumphed, though not until their enemies had been almost ex terminated. The major fell by the arm of our halmost called you a coward, son Da vid," said his father, " but you are a 'chip of the old block," and I did you wrong. You may founder one of my herses every day that you do such a deed--why it beats any. thing I ever saw in the French wvar." David's gallantry in this act drew around him in a fewv weeks more than a score of hardy young- fellows who fought with him *to -the end of the war, w'hon he returned home and was happily married to the hero ie of our story. INRETIG DETAILS 01 TIE WAR NEWS. Wa make up from our English files to the 16th inst., by the Baltic, (says the Bal timore American) the following summary of European news. THE Win.-In order to form a correct notion of the operation of the allies on the 7th of June against the Russian works at Sebastopol, it is desirable to refer to the de stiption- of these works. Every one is *aware that the ground before Sebastopol is intersected by ravines descending to the sea, these raviner being divided from ea'ch other by ridges, -upon which both the Russian works and the principal batteries of besie ging armies are erected. The ravine farth est to the north-east, and on the extrem~e right of the allied position, in front of, what is now called the Inkermann attack, is that descending to the Careening harbor. It wa' at one time intended:- by. the -allies to take possession of the'whole of the north ridge down to the Careening harbor, .but the Russians crossed t,be ravines with great determination, and established two works on the slope of it-.one at 800 yards and the other at 400 yards fron the second parallel. Theso redoubts have probably ere this fallen into the hands of tho allies, for Pellissier's dispatch of June 9th says: "the enemy have completely abandoned the right shore of the Careening bay.". This is an imupor tant position commanding the ships in port, and almost intercepting the entrance to the town. The next ridge is that on which the Malakoff towver stands, and opposite -to it, at the distance .of about a mile and.a half, the Victoria redoubt has been erected by the allies. The Victoria attack, carried on by *the French,is directed from (hispoint-against the tower and adjoining works.. Descending nearer to the tower, and about five hundred yards in front of it, is the Mamnelon, which is lesribed as comnmqudinig the tower itself, The conquest and ocewpation of this l by th rh-.cis the result of the counteslof June 7. The Malakoff tower itself, being one of the few works in. masonry on the. land aide of Sebastopol, was long since re duced to ruins but it ir now encibsed by a high semi.circular parapet of. earth, pierced with twelve embrasures and surrounded by a ditch. From :the tower to the Careening bay there runs a long line of parapst, broken t half say by 'a battery of -sixteen guns on two.ices, and thus flanking the curtain be tween this point and the tower. Another battery of twelve guns .on the hill above Careening bay is connected .. with this work by a fuither parapet, which extends to the sea. We apprehend that the works taken on the 7th of June are outside this line. The Redan is separated from the Malakoff tower by what is termed the middle ravine,'and stands upon the ridge between the Woron zoff ravine and this middle ravine. On this ridge also stands the allied Crown battery, fronting the apex of the Redan, which was 'further defended by an'abauts, and by a strong party of riflemen. lodged in - a stone quarry in front of the work, and which quar ry was carried by the British on the 7th of June. Sebastopol, it is to be remembered, is not a foress, but a town, defended by a chain of forts and field fortifications. From the description, it will be noticed that the several attacks of. the besieging armies 'are advancing pari passe on parallel lines, and that the recent operations of the allies, -al though distinct, assist each. other, and are essential to the success of the common en terprise, the plan of the allies to enclose the Russian line of fortifications within another line, which shall gradually advance until the besieged are driven into the sea. We now proceed to give the official so-' counts of these operations: General Pelissier's first despatches are quite dramatic. June 6. 10 p. m.-To.day' with our allies, we opened fire. against the external works, and to-morrow, please. God, we will take them ! June 6, 1.1 p. m.-At half-past six our signals for assault' were given, and one hour afterwards our eagles floated over the Mam elon Vert, -and over the two redoubts of Careening Bay. The artillery of the enemy fell into our hands. -We have- taken' 400 prisoners. Our legions occupy the conquer ed works. All the.troops .showed the most admirable dev.otion and intrepidity. , June'8.-Last evening we took' possession of sixty-two guns, in tha captured redaubta. Thirteen officers were made prisoners. Our loss, which has not been accurately ascer tained, is considerable, as might have been expected from so great a result.' June 9.-The situation is'the same as yesterday. All the demonstrations' of the enemy against the captured works have been fruitless. They have abandoned the, so-cal led battery of the 2d of May ; -they have also completely abandoned to'us the right-shore of Careening bay. The vessels in port have sought refuge in Artillery, bay, where our large mortars can reach them. We- are watching them attentively.. Lord Raglan's dispatch we have already received via Halifax, as follows : Before Sebastopol, June 7.-The formida ble fire of 'yesterday was kept up to-day with the greatest spirit, and soon after six o'clock this evening the French attacked and carried the White Work and the Mame lon. The whole operation was most bril liant. Great gallantry was displayed on all sides. Casualties not yet known. The next dispatch was the following: June 8.-The success of last night was. very complete,. and the gallantry and steadi ness of the' troops cannot be too highly spo ken of. The French succeeded in securing the works of the Mamelon; and those on its right, called the Ouvrages, Blancs, and in those they took sixty-two guns, including eight cohorns and four hundred prisoners. Nothing could be more 'brilliant than the advance of our allies. . We have lost 400 men in killed and wounded. Pelissier's latest despatches are June 10, 11. 30 P. M.-The combat of the 7th was more advantageous for us than I at first announced. It placed in our hands 502 pi-isoners,.(of whom 20 are officers,) and 73 pieces of cannon. June 11, 11 P. M.-We are now consoli dating ourselves in the new works. We have been able to fi with'the Russian mar tars, on their ships, which have gone' still farther-up. We are preparing new batteries. (Signed) PELLIssIER. PRINCE GORCUAEO1-F's ACCOUNT. June 8-.Evening.-Prince Gorchakcoff telegraphs to St.'Petersburg, evening of 8th June: " After two days of heavy bombard ment, three French divisions attacked r-e. doubtNo. 7, at 6 o'clock,. last evening snd occupied the redoubts Kamtchatka, Seleng hinsk and bastion No 1. Our troops retook the Kamtschatka redoubt; buta he French poured in fresh reserves, and took- it once more. We -fnally remained masters of that battery-the French .holding a lodgmessit near-whence we hope to drive them. -Our soldiers fought admirably, in -proof of w~hich I may state that the euiemy's loss exceeda ours.
