The truth is. that a bayonet charge is very different affair from what it is generally supposed. In the first place, the regiment or other force which makes the charge, though probably rai:gcd as near as possible squarely opposite its euemy, cannot keep up this formation during the quarter of u mile or uiorc of ground which must be traversed by it before the foe is reached.— Even with the best drilled and bravest men, one end of the line lags behind, and if the enemy should stand still to receive the charge, only a part of the line would be engaged at first. In practice, however, military writers confe.-s that bayonets ure very raiely actually crossed. A bayonet charge usually takes one of three turns; either the charging party, by its firmness and imp tuosity, throws ihe opposing force into a panic mid it breks rank nnd flies withou awaiting the thrust of the bayonet, or, by Grmncrs and a well directed volley at short distance, the side which is attacked drives off the other; or, in the fewest ensts, both sides behavj well, and then in the words of one of our tnC at experienced generals, '• the best Sergeant decides (he face of the charge." ■iea and opens u wcenc of the richest variety to tlie mind unci the Jicuri, and cf such u diversified charucter that we may never grow j »uppi;r circumstances, in the region of everius'ing love and bliss.
