villages in. front of VValtoon the plain close
to the river, which has been the scene of
many outpost affairs. One column ad-

of Kodaies. fifteen miles from Walto. The
engagement there was not severe.
The artillerv duel is continuing in the
east and is most active about Walto, but
the cannonading is neither as heavy or as
unceasing as heard from the westward.
The batteries of botn armies nare main
