Accident second has passed without damage.
Forward, then; rapid, steady; and reserve your fire till within fifty paces!--Prinoe Ferdinand of Brunswick (Friedrich's Brother-in-law, a bright-eyed steady young man, of great heart for fight) tramps forth with his Division:--steady!--all manner of Divisions tramp forth; and the hot storm, Ziethen and cavalry dashing upon that right wing of theirs, kindles here also far and wide.
The Austrian cavalry on this wing and elsewhere, it is clear, were ill off.

"We could not charge the Prussian left wing, say they, partly because of the morasses that lay between us; and partly [which is remarkable] because they rushed across and charged us." [Austrian report, _Helden-Geschichte,_ i.

1113.] Prince Karl is sorry to report such things of his cavalry; but their behavior was bad and not good.
The first shock threw them wavering; the second,--nothing would persuade them to dash forth and meet it.

High officers commanded, obtested, drew out pistols, Prince Karl himself shot a fugitive or two,--it was to no purpose; they wavered worse at every new shock; and at length a shock came (sixth it was, as the reporter counts) which shook them all into the wind.

Decidedly shy of the Prussians with their new manoeuvres, and terrible way of coming on, as if sure of beating.
