DESPERATE FIGHTING IN THE SOUDAN.

BRILLIANT VICTORY AGAINST OVERWHELMING ODDS.

BATTLE OF METAMMAH,

General Stewart Wounaod.

Londom, January 29,

The unxioty that has been felt owing to the absence of all nows of General Stewart's contingont in tho Soudan sinco the engago mont at Abu Klea on tho 10th January was allayed this monring by tho publication of a budgot of despatches chronicling such desperate fighting, terrible hardship, and glorious heroism a3 the world has not known sinco tho disasters of Ysandlann and Korko's Drift. This time, thank Heaven ! thero has been no disaeter, only a terrific struggle, crowned with first an indecisive, and then a complete, victory. For some hours on the 19th it is quito plain tho fato of tho little forco hung in tho balance, and that tho two brave newspaper "specials" left living anticipated for themselves and tho armful of uninjured soldiers nothing short of annihilation.

AflortheflghtwiththeArabsforthoposses sion of tho Abu Klea weljs on tho 17th inst., (Jen. Stowart established ft strong post at the wells, and on tho afternoon of tho next day (Sunday) began his march towards Motammeh. His force consisted of nbout 2,000 picked fighting mon. Tho natives at onco began to resist his progress, though they did not offer regular battle, but skir mished upon his front and flanks. On Monday tho English reached ft point about 5 miles south of Motammeh, whoro tho Arabs were evidently stationed in force, as they hovorcd about tho invaders on all eides within short range. When thoy began to surround him and press in from all sides General Stewart ordered his men to dismount and form n zarcba, or sort of breastwork, made mainly with saddles and baggage. Duiing its construction the Arab riflomen drew nearer, and kept up a linfc (ire from behind ambushes and such hiding - places a< thoy could find in the bushes and high grass. This fire was very well directed, and was most disastrous in its effect upon tho Biitish troops. Twelvo men wero soon shot dead, and 10 others were badly wounded. Among tho first killed wero Mr Cameron, tho special correspon dent of tho London " Standard," and Mr Herbert, tho special correspondent of tho London " Post." General .Stewart was shot in the thigh. When ho was struck tho work of malting the zaroba was about com pleted, and the army had been put in motion to form in battlo array, Formation or a Square. When Stewart fell wounded, Sir Charles Wilson assumed command, and the troops wero formod in a hollow square in the fol lowing order : In front, tho Naval Brigade and tho Grenadier Guards; on tho right flank, the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Greys ; on the left Hank, the mounted in fantry ; and on tho rgar, tho Sussex Regi ment and tho camel corps. As soon as it was completed tho square advanced under a steady ambush fire a distance of two miles. Then the enemy bo gan to move upon the square in two largo ischo!onß, These were directed against the British right front, which stood unmoved. During tho charge of the natives, the English troops forming tho ii?eailed front delivered a terrilie lire, aimed right at tho enemy's middle, mowing clown men in such numbers, that tho heaps of dead bodies interfered so seriously with tho evenness of march necessary to the success of tho oniilaught that the centre lino of tlio Arabs was brought to a stand still about sixty yards from the British front lino. The forco of the general movement threw the unimpeded parts of the line like tho ends of a broken timber around the corners of tho square, and the Arabs Uiuf displaced in position were simply cut to pieces. After this the fight was most dis astrous to the natives.

During the advunco of the main body of the English from tho rureba, the garrison left behind at that point kept up a heavy tire from their guns and lilies. An effort was made to erect a small redoubt some fifty yards to tho right ol tho zaicba under tho protection of the steady fire from tho zareba. During the erection of tho redoubt ono man was killed and three wore wounded. Lord Cochrane, with forty men from tho Life Guards and tho Scots Greys, held the redoubt and maintained a heavy firo throughout the battlo.l _\Vhon tho onemy's line was broken the Arabs socmod to break up into bands, each of which waged war on its own account. A largo detachment, mostly on horseback, wont back to attack tho z.areba. There the English sustained tho attack for two hours, when the enemy was compelled to retreat. During tho conoral attack upon the square only six men wero killed and twonty-thiee wounded on the English side. Capt. .Norton worked the guns during tbit fight, and his firing did toniblo execution. Tlio losses of the Arabs during tho whole day are estimated at 2,000 killed and wounded. They lost iive omire. Among tho enemy wero many elavcs, several oi whom had submitted to tho British. Thoj say tho Mahdi sont thorn from Khartoum. Encampment on tho Nile. Tho British square reached tho Tsilo at guiißet on Monday, and encamped foi the night. Early on Tuesday morning scouting parties made a reconnoissance and dostroyed some ompty villages, the recent inhabitants of which watched tho operations from a disianco and afterwards retioated to Metammeh lhe British then advanced through the villager around Metammeh, and stationed them selves at Gubafc, on tho Kilo; On Wedncs day they made a reconnoissanco, and found Metammeh fairly well fortified. Shot* wero exchanged, but the Arabs kopt out o) sight. Sir Charles Wilson reports that In could havo carried Mclammih, but ho thought it.not worth risking tho loss of .the men which its capture might havo involvod Tho ground around is sandy, with depres sions full of grass and bushes, afibr4ing good cover. Stoaiucro from Gordon. Four steamers from Khartoum, undor Nusri Pasha, arrived at Gubat on Wednos day. They brought the latest news from General Gordon, who says ho could hold out at Khartoum for years. During the reconnoissanco of Metammeh Nusri landed and assistod Gon. Stewart's force. Metam meh, it appears, is occupied at tho present momont by 2,000 men. One-half of these aro regulars, under the command of Nuran gar. The town is provided with throo Kruppguns, but it has vory little ammuni tion. Shells (irod from those gun 3 will not explode At Shcndy, which is on thoothor of Metammeh, there is one small Krupp gun, and the town is garrisoned by a email force. Sir Charles Wilson started from Gubat for Khaitoum last Saturday. The force he took with him was a part of the Sussex Regiment. Gen. Stewart's wound, while not fatal, is so serious that ho will bo disabled for the remainder of the prosent campaign. Gen. Wolseley considers the deprivation of his services a national loss. He characterises Stewart as the " ablest soldier and most dashing commander ho ever knew," and recommends him to the Queen's most favourable consideration. Tho latest despatches received at the War Ofllce show that Lord St. Vincent was not, as at first reported, killed in the battle fougfct in the desert on the 19th insf. Ho died from a wound received on the 17th inst. at Abu Klea. Only two British ollicors were killed in tho Zareba fight; tho other dead wore non-commissioned officers ami privates.

Desporato Dash for Water. Col. Burleigh, who is almost the only survivor of the little band of special corres pondents who accompanied General Stewart's forces into the Bainda desert, has sent to the "Daily Telegraph" a stirring report of the series of fights between the Abu Klca Wells and Gubat, During the engagement on the 19th instant, described above, the British became exhausted for want of water, and one of the boldest movements in the history of Egyptian campaigning was ordered by Colonel Sir Charles Wilson. Colonel Wilson saw that the whole force was doomed unless water could be obtained. The Nile was only three miles distant, but some thousands of Arabs were between the British troops and the river. The Arab 3 woro keeping up a. hot fire on the British position, and their attack was especially heavy on that eido of tho square which faced the river. Nevertheless, Colouel Wilson detailed a number of picked Guardsmen to cut through the enemy's line, with rubber sack?, in which to carry water from the river, Tho Guards charged in squadron front and sabred their way through the Arab forces. Nearly one-half of them reached the river, and almost one-half of the remainder suc ceeded in forcing their way back, bringing i water enough to refresh the troops and enable them to ro <"'»» the enemy.

Motammoh and Shandy Bombarded. On tho 22nd tho British encamped at Abu Kru, two miles south of Metammeh. Tho enemy wero most sparing in their tiso of ammunition while defending Metammeh, and only kept up a desultory.fire. Five of Gonoral Gordoi/s steamers, conveying 500 soldiors and fivo guns, arrived at Gubat on tho 22nd. All the troops and guns wero landed, and tho Runs wore turned upon Metammeh, without, however, producing any apparent effect upon the Arabs. It is reported that tho Madhi i 3 Bending more troops and guns to Metammoh. General Wilson, with four of Gordon's etoamors, a number of black troops, two companies of mounted infantry, and cix guns, bombarded Shondy for two hours on tho 22nd, and almost completely destroyed tho town. The steamers afterwards re turned to G«bat, where a number, of forts are being erected. It is said that tlio Mahdi has a force of G,OOO around Khartoum. Tho population of Khartoum is estimated at ]'1,000. A convoy has gone to Gakdul to fetch stores and ammunition. Tho inhabi tants of Mefammeh are apparently remain ing in hiding, as scouts aro ablo to see only a few persons in tho town. The total British lose, including the loss at Abu Klea, was 104 killed and 210 wounded, Tho enemy's loss was 3,000 killed and wounded. Casualties to Newspaper Men. Mr Herbert, the special correspondent of tho London "Post," whoso death was re ported to-day, was shot dead in tho fierce attack of tho Arabs while tho British wero erecting tho zareba, He was formerly secretary to Lord DufTcrin when tho latter was Governor -General of Canada. Mr Her bert witnessed tho battles of Tel-el-Kebir, El Tcb, and Tainai. Ho was severely wounded at the last-named battle. The aston'shing mortality among the newspaper correspondents who accompanied Goneral Stewart's forco is ono of tho chief features of interest in to-day's news from tho Soudan. Of tho fivo correspondents who startod on the march from Gakdul to tho Nile, three have been killed and one wounded. Those killed were Colonel Burnaby, who had a special commission from the " Morning Post;" Mr Cameron, of tho " Daily Standard ;" and Mr Herbert, of the regular staff of the "Morning Post." The b:ai known of tho correspondents, next 1 1 Colonel Biirnaby, wa? Mr J. A. Cameron, who had had a long and varied expori ence as a war correspondent. Mr Cameron was with Baker Pasha when that oilicor made his attempt to chastise El Mahdi after the defeat of Hicks Pasha. Mr Cameron was missing for some months after that, and was supposed to bo dead. Ho had been captured and detained as a prisoner in El Mahdi's camp, but he eventually made his escape and wroto an interesting account of his experiences. Col. Burleigh, correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph, who was wounded in the tight on the 19th inst., is doing well. Tho "Daily News" Ace stint. Loxdoh, January 29.—The correspon dent of the "News," in describing General Stewart's brilliant march across the <'<■ '-f from the Abu Klea wells, says : -" (' ii- i -■ ' Stewart, hoping to surprise the enemy, left Abu Klea wells on Saturday afternoon, and marched through the entire night. The first part of tho march was orderly, quiet, and steady. Later the route lay through a dense jungle and groves of mimosa, whore the confusion and uproar of tho native drivers delayed progress two hours and put tho enemy on the alert. The Arabs, con cealedin the tall grass, kept up a galling fire. The British were gradually worn out, being exposed as targets and unable to strike back. We sighted the niver at daybreik. The enemy were gathered about the ridges op posite on the banks of the Nile, about an hour's march from us. General Stewart selected the best position passible, and forme' 1 a square, which received the enemy from all sides. Soon the Arabs were seen swarming and advancing toward us. Within nalf-ap-hour they opened fire on our front, right and left, and until long past midday continued to assail us with b perfect storm of bullets. General Stowart was woundod early in tho action, when several other officers and men were killed. Having strengthened our position and repulsed all attacks, the square was prepared to advance. We went over the dopes under a withering fire, returning tho volleys very steadily. Three times the enemy's horse and foot attempted to make a charge, but wero mowed down each time, The Rush of tbe Arabs. General Stewart's wound delayed the counter attack of the square until 2 p.m. Arab riflemen possessed tho heights, while their horsemen closed the roads in our rear. As the square moved slowly from the zareba, all felt that their fate depended upon its steadi ness. When the square stopped the men lay down and delivered volley after volley with superb steadiness. At.lastthe critical moment came; tho Arab spearmen ad vanced to hurl themselves against tho little square. The British novor wavered a moment. When they saw the foe coming they cheered lustily and delivered a fire so deadly that the Arabs dropped in the lines, and recoiled and retired in broken array. Meanwhilo another donso mass of Arabs from the south was stopped by sholls from Norton's guns. At this juncture the enemy's redoubtablo roserve of horsemen, standard - bearers, and fanatical followers rushed against thesquaro, but was again ropulsed by the withering firo delivered by our men. Their retreat this time was final, for they did not renew the attack. In the meantime the mon left be hind in tho zareba to guard the wounded watched the square disappear over the hil's, and were unaware until next morning whether tho squai-e had reached the Nile safely or had be«n overwhelmed. When the mon were seen returning next day they were greeted with loud and heartfelt cheers. After reverently burying the dead tho whole forco marched to the Nile, where . hey were allowed to bivouac in poaco. "It is staled that the Mahdisont 12,000 licked troops to annihilate tho British, either at Abu Klea or Motammeh. It is said ho is sending 2,000 more men,but there ii no more fear now. The Biitish have the Nile on thoir back, another British ;olumn is on tho march, and the Gordon •t earners aro securing supplies and material. Mottammeh is still hold by a small forca of Arab riflemen with one brass gnn. Tho town is said to be in straits. A Euro pean was clearly distinguished in tho rebel ranks. The British have captured three un armed boats, which will be very usoful to them. All the officers and mon aro in excel icnthealth and spirits. The British square numbered 1,200, and the force of the enemy was estimated at nearly 12,000. When the square returned to the zareba tho day after the fight, many of tho garrison wept for joy." The Camp Hospital. Goneral Wolseley telegraphed from Korti this morning that ho had received reports from tho surgeons at Gubat that Goneral Stowart is doing well. No attempt has been made to extract the bullet. The bullet entered tho thigh, an.i is now lodged in the region of the groin. The hospital for the wounded and disabled of General Stewart's command is pitched on the bank of the !Nile. They are all housed in cosy tents, and are pro vided with comfortable beds ob tained from the natives. In view of the many hardshipn and deprivations which the wounded men have had to suffer, and the almost constant moving to which they have been subjected, most of them are making wonderful progress toward recovery. In the cases of about two-thirds of the wounded tho injuries are very bad, and among this class a great number of surgical operations are still necessary. As many as ps iblo of the woundod have been B;rit back to Gakdul wel's. Supplies in the vicinity of the post at Gubat aro plentiful, and the army will have to make no demand on their base of supplies if the natives con tinuo to bring their produce in. Some of the wounded Arabs who were tiken prisoners by Gonoral Stewart's ferco declare that the Frenchman, Ollivier Pain, is in command at Metammeh. Mr J. A. Cameron, the " Standard " cor respondent, was shot in tho back while he was kneeling behind a ca-ne', He ;was buried on tlio fi°ld by his comrades. After General Stewart was wounded, ho was car ried to the field hospital by a party of officers and men, who wero moved to tears by tho sight of his sufferings and. the. for titude with wbi;h he endured them,
