THE FEROCIOUS AFGHAN. Fighting H m on Hit Own Ground. A ftls**)lr sVtler Wstirst < utplrlrlt Ba*9rl A* - soldier under two Government* I hav* fought Sepoys, Boer*, Hottentots, Maoris, Indians, Malay*, and civilized white men, but for real, downright ferocity and dogged perseverance I give the medal to the Afghan*. Su-': a thing as cowardice is un- known amocg them. Thsy are ready for a fight at a moment's notice, and they can stand the cold steel and grape and caunister longer than any white troops I was ever op- posed to. They are fanatics to the U-t .l.-op of blood, aud when an enemy fully betiex'e* that death on '.he battlefield mean* eternal rest tor his soul, he become* doubly danger- ous. I<i the march to Cabul, which won laurels for the British arms only lhat they might be covered with the disgrace of bad diplomacy, we found the Afghan on hi* own soil and on battlefield j of hi* own selection, and, though we could drive him in every inslan<-e. each victory co*t u* some of the best b!ol in the English army. One of onr outpo*t, a* the coluiuu was en- camped in the ' :t it* strength and bring up muplies, was nm* miles to the north, w re. I a stra- tegic point. A ite- i. nmenl of !<> men wa* kept there tor fifteen days, being relieved every five days, and I went out with toe last detachment. We were all infantry . :,: wehal !( round* of ammunition tor our muskets. The po*l -a .- it in ihe valley. but up among the hill*, where it covered three different passes, and it was a terriMy lonesome spot. It wa* among the ruins of an old temple, and the first companies hoi.) ing it had used t --k of stone to build a fort. Th; stiuctvr- v- feet square, crowning a *t. walls were abou' hm'.i. I* of it were the walls of the old temple, llieugtliene.l a little, and v ;,!. it wa* rude affair as a fort it wa* a *toui and reireat iu case of a few men i- .1 ^ hard pressed. The blunder* made in ih i: paign are t is to he re- mosl impartial historians are agree. 1 that in- competency wa* ihe leading te.ture. We had oeen at the post two days when the Cap- tain in command took fifty of the !: what he called a reconnoissance ut> one of M to the north uf us, and t ihe i time senl twenty -five men ou another fool i errand lo the east. We had been put there simply and solely to prevent the enemy from coming down the pass right al our door, and entering the valley. Wliat was beyond u* did not matter. There was mut- tering among the men a* they were marched out, each carrying twenty-five rounds of am- munition, and ibex called " farewell " to the twenty-two of us left behind. Half an hour after they had passed ;-.,.( ;ight we heard sharp tiring to the north and east, and not one (ingle man ever returned to us. They were ambushed in the defiles and slaughter- ed. jut a* might havj been expected. . >n this very tame .'.ay the main army de- : to advance. A courier wa* despatched to notify an putposl, but he never reached us, either turning back through fear r hav- ing been picked otf by some ton.v tied nrfe man. About five o'clock in Ihe aftern.ion the i lines appeared in latge numbers, both above an i below us, and then we knew what had happened : uuleed, they taunted u* with the annihilation of our comrades, snd gave us the news that the main column had moved on and deserted us. An old v.-r geant, who had passed twenty two years in the service, was in command of us, and as soon a* he fully re.ilued the disaster winch COMfUBIATWIS HI HI8TOIT.
