butchery

The rebels did not get near enough to stick any of our boys with their bayonets, which had been fixed for that sort of butchery.

It gathered to one vast circular battle, killing and killing rats upon rats in a frenzy of loathing that grew with the butchery.

But the marshal, impatient at the slowness of the butchery, ordered the men to desist and to fire the place.

There was frightful disorder and butchery; twenty thousand killed, five thousand captured out of forty-four thousand engaged!

It was expected that they would be set upon in the streets, and the butchery there begun would be introduced into the prisons.
