A correspondent sends the following from northeastern France: “The great bayonet charge by the Zouaves near Bixschoote, of which you have already heard, was a particularly gruesome affair, for the Zouaves, like the Gurkhas, love the joy of a hand-to-hand battle.

“They charged a wood, an officer told me, like a gale of wind, not giving a cry till they got within touch; then they let out yell upon yell as they plied their bayonets among the dripping trees.
“The enemy mostly were first-line men, and met them like heroes, firing in volleys once or twice, then leaping out to the combat. The impetus of the Zouaves carried them through. They did not stop to kill. They dashed through the first time, killing only as they went, then they charged back on the broken lines.
