He is said to have intrenched him- self at Kezanlik, st tho southern mouth of the Shipka Pass, but his position in exceedingly critical. Yet, while to-night the balance of success seems to turn in favor of the Turks, there is no telling what may happen during the next few days. Skillful Beneralship may materially change the Sspect of affaira, The Russians undoubtedly have in the long ran‘an immense superiority of resources, and it is certain that, whether publicly proclaimed or not, there will be st once a general levy for military service. Meanwhilo competent military critics at the front assert that what the Grand Duke should do now is to collect rapidly his scattered forces and operate against Mehemet Ali in front, with simul. taneons assistance from Gen, Zimmerman in tho rear, Serdar Ekrem must inevitably be crashed providing this movement be made before he can effect a junction with Osman Pasha. TIE RUSSIAN DISASTER. 4 VIVID ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF FLEVNA. Loxpon, Aug. 3A correspondent sends from Poredin, near Plevna, a graphic account of Tuesday's battle, which conveys a vivid idea of the extent of the Russian disaster. The corro- fpondent is with Prince Sebackoskoy'’s com- mand: And now all hope of success anywhere was dead. Nor did tho chance offerto make the best of defeat. Prinve Schackoskoy had not a man left to cover his retreat. The Turks struck without atiot. They had the upper hand for once, and were deter- mined to show they knew how to makethe most of tt. They advanced {n swarms through the duak on their original first position, and CAPTURED THE RUSSIAN CANNON before the batteries could be withdrawn. Turk- ish hells began once more to whistle over the ridge above Radishova, and fall into the villags behind, now crammed with wounded. Streams of wounded, wending their. painful way over the ridge, were incessant. The badly-wounded mostly lay where they fell. Later fo the darkness the baleful sort of “Krankentraeger” swarmed over the battle- ficld In the shape of Bash!-Bazouks, who spared not. Ltogering there on the ridge till the moon rose the staff could bear from below on the atlll night alr the CRIES OF PAIN AND EXTRRATIEG for weERCrY, aud yells of bloudthirsty favatical triumph. It was indeed an hour to wring the sternest heart. We stayed there to learn, if it might be, what troops were coming up the valley of the shadow of death below; whether there Were, indeed, anyatall'tocome. The Turks bad our range before dark, and we could watch the flash of flaine over ngainet us, und then Usten to the scream of shell as ft tore by us. THE SOUND OF KIPLE BULLETS Was incessant, and the escort and ro treating wounded were stuck. “The detachment. at length began to cowe atracgiing up, but it will give an idea of the disorganization to say that when a com- any was told off to cover somewhat the wound- ed in Radishoys, it had to be made upot men of several regiments. About 9 o'clock the staff quitted the rldge, leaving it littered with Rroanlng men, and moving gently lest we should tread on the Pros- ‘trate wounded. We lost our way as we had lost ourarmy. Wecould find no rest for the soles of our feet, by reason of alarms of the Basht-Bazouks swarming in. amoug the scat- tered and retiring Russians, At length, at 1 o'clock in the morning, having been {a the sad- die alnce 6 on the previous moruing, we turned toto a stubble-field, and, making bedaof reaped ralu, correspondent and Cossack alik RESTRD UNDE THE BTAXS. But we were not evon then alluwed to reat be- fore an alaroi came that the Bashi-Bazouke were upon us, aud we had to rouse aud tramp away. What in the morning wasa fine army was no a handful of wearled Cossacks, . Gen, Krudener sent word tn the morning he had loat severely, and could made no headway, and had resolved to fall back on the line of the River Osma. There bad been talk of his troops being freah, of renewing the attack today with his co-operation, but it!s « plain statement of fact that wa have NO THOOPS TO ATTACK Witt, The most moderate estimate ts that we have lost tio regiments, eay 5,000 Men, out of our three brigades,—a ghastly Bumber,—bdeating Eylau or Friedland, This takes no account of Gen, Krudener's lonses. We, too, rely on the Or River about Bulgarent, and to the best of our weak strength cover the bridge at Blstora, Oue cannot, {u this moment of burry and confusion, realize all the posstble results of this Stroke ao rasbly courted. Nota Rusalan soldier stands between Tirnova and the victorious Turkish’ army in Loreca snd Plevos, and only a weak division of the Eleventh Corps stands be- tween Tirnova and the Shumia army. I look on Prince Schakoskoy's “force as fonger” for this no pride of superb condition, DEMORALIZED AND SHATTERED, Soon this side ofthe Balkans there, remains but the Ninth Uandled, once at Corps, already roughly Nikopolis and - once at Plevna, one division of the Eleventh Corps, and the Rustchuk army. Now if the Rustehuk army is marched to the west sgainst Plevua, then the Turkish army of Rustebuk is let loose on the Russian communications to Tirnova.;One cannot avold the conclusion that the advance over the Balkans is SRVENELY COMPROMISED, The Rusuisn strait {8 so dad that the ecat- tered detachmeuts have beco called up from outof Roumauia, and the Roumanian division, commanded by Gen. Manu, which crossed a day or two ago at Nikopolis, has been called up tu the tine of the Osma Kiver. Au Alde-de-Camp of the Grand Duke Nicholas Was Vresunt at the battle, aud at once starled for Tirnova with the evil tigings, We sre just quitting this bivouac, amd falling back on Bul: |. guria with all speed, leaving tho Bulgarian villages tu tne tender mercies of the Turke, Aa J ctose [ learn that on our left Gen. 8kobellolt was very severcly nandled, having lost 800 men out of bly «lugle lufantry battalion. * ‘tits Hour. The Yaly Nees’ correspondent with Prince Schackosky's force, telegraphing from Simnit- taunder date of Aux. 1, gives an account of the retreat, He says: The road from Poure- din to Bulgasen! was cumbered with broken and retreating troups wholly destitute of or- der; oillvece without suldlers, soldiers without oticery, without cobesion and mostly without aru, Ata parrow bridge ovar Bulgarenj there was wild confusion aud # complete block.
