Decisive Battles of the World-
The decisive battles of the World, those
( { which, to use Halfom’s words, a contra- i
t y result would have essentially varied the 1
drama of the world is all its subsequent
t(*enes, are numbered as fifteen by Prof.
(' resay, who fills the chair of ancient and
Modern History in the University of Lon
don. They are the grand aibjeets of two
volumes by him, lately from Boutly’s
press, and are;
1. The battle of Marathon, fought,
490 B. C., in which the Greeks, under;
Tberoifttoclea, defeated the Psrsians under
Jforius, thereby turning back the tide of
A-iatic invasion, which else would have
swept over Europe.
2. The battle of Syracuse, 418 B. C.,
iu which the Aatheaian power was broken,
and the real of Europe saved from Greek
dun;ini on.
*. The battle sf Arbetn, 881 B C.. in
which Alexander, by a defeat of Darius,
established his power in Asia, and by the
introduction of European civilization, pro
duced an effect which may yet he traced
there.
4. The battle of Mctaunw, 208 B. 0 ,
the Romans under Nero, defeating the
Carlhageniana, under Hasdrubal, and by
v Inch the supremacy of the great Re
i-nblic was eai a Wished.
h* fUe victory of Armenia*, A. D. S..
over the Roman leader Verms, whieh sc
cHied Unul from Rstuuu domination.
8. Tbc battle of Chalons. A. B. 491,
jh which Actiua defeated Altila. the Hun,
the self-styled 4 ‘Scourge of God,” and
saved Rurepn from entire devastation.
7. The battle of Tsurs, A. D 78b, in
which Charles Martel, by the defeat of the
Saracens, averted the Mohammedan yoke
from KurOpe.
8. The battle of Hastings. A. D. 186®.
in which William of Normandy wm victo
lions over the Anglo iSaxeu Uatrid, and ,
tie result of which was the formation of,
the 4tnglo-Nnnn •‘"•ton, which is sow j
dominant in the world.
9 The battle of Orleans, A. D. 1429. ‘
in which the English were defeated, and ;
the independent existence of France ac
cured.
Iff. The defeat of the Spanish Armada,
A. D. 1588, which eruahed the hopes ofj
Papacy in England.
11. The battle of Blenheim, A. D. j
17**4 in which Malhorougk, by the defeat
ol'Tidlerd, broke the power and crashed.
the ambitious h hemes of Louis XIV.
12. The defeat of Charles XII, hy P- j
b-r the Great, at Pultnwa, A. D. 1799. ’
which secured the stability of the Museu
vite Empire.
18. The battle of Saratoga, A. D. 1777 |
tn which Gen. Gates defeated Bargoyne, i
and which decided the content iu favor of
th American Revolutionists, ly making j,
France their ally, and other European [
powers friendly to them.
14. The battle of Valniy. A D. 1792.;
in which the Continental allies, under the
Duke of Brunswick, were defeated by the
French under' Duiaouriez; without which
the French Uevulutio* would have been
mayed. *
15. The battle of Waterloo, 1815, in
which the Duke of Wellington hopelessly j
defeated Napoleon, and Saved Europe from '
hb' grasping ambition. [Or put hack
Europe half a century in its progre** to- j
ward liberty and distinctive nationality,,

four vital point#—Central Virginia, Mast- 1

region amuud Charleston. • <*. •
The rebel news .from Charleston shews
that General Gillmore and Admiral Dahl

were endeavoring to open up the channel;
incendiary shells had been fire# into the
