Excitement refuses to be strung up ‘beybnd a certain pitch. Passions abate, the angry tension of the com- batants relaxes, and for a time the incidents of the strugele are tame and insipid as the news from the seat of war alter Plevna. To pursue the comparison: The Russians and Turks of Versailles are RESTING aND MARSIALING THEM FORCES for new efforts. MacMahon has passed the Danube with the Conservative army of Reaction, and has succecded in momentarily defeating the hostile masses of the Constitutionalists. The regime of the Liberals has been suddenly su- perseded hy an administration of iron and fune. There have been massacres of Pasha-Prefects and hecatombs of common Effendis. Gov. Jules Simon has had his place taken from hii, and given into the keeping of the Muscovite De Fourtou. -But Gambetta Pasha is a great Gen- eral. Inshallah! The Constitution is not yet Jost. Well, yes, I agree with you: that is quite enough Orientalism for one dose. Checrfully I return to the clear language of every day. I was saying, then, that, forthe moment, there was little of interest stirring in French politics. The present quiet is likely, however, to be speedily followed by a state of things Irss agrecable,—or, looking at it froma journalist's selfisn point of view, more so. To the Conserva- tive parties, to ‘stand still is to camp inthe Dobrudscha, I bez pardon. They must go forward, at all hazards, or die of internal dis- ease and inaction. Hesitation is Joss.

This was the day of the year while Louis Napoleon held the French scevire.

A very little contents it. A mnoton- ous promenade. up and down the boule vard; an occasional halt for refreshments at some bright, bustling cafe on the way: these, and the spectacle of the moving crowd of which rius a part, are sufficient, and more -than sullicient, to keep your Parisian in good humor.

Thiers are, or soon willbe, away starring in the provinces. M. Thiers has pitched his tent at Dieppe, where an enthusiastic welcome wa given to him. That poor, unfortunate, much- abused, and badzered Marshal leaves to-morrow on an official tour in Normandy and Brittany. He is to break his journey first. in the quaint old town ot Evreux, and from thence wil pro- ceed slowly, via Lisicux, C: a, and &t.

Hennequin anu De Najac’s charming comedy, “Bebe,” has just becu withdrawn from the Gymnase bills, after a lucrative Tun of 163 nights. The total’ sum paid into the treasury of the theatre during these representations sras close upon half a million francs, or, to be strict- ly accurate, 446.505f 40. M.

Indeed, since the successiul production of Dumas? “ Monsieur Alphonse,” a couple of years ago, every play at the Gymnace fad failed, unt ie author of the “Pink Domi: noes” and his witty collaborateur saved the house with “ Bebe.” A new comedy from the same pens is to be given in the coming season. ‘Thé Theatre Francais has a novelty in prepar- ation in the shape of a four-act comedy by Eniie Angier.

It is delicate ground to tread upon. {hardly know how to Set about it. Twenty years since, Celine Montaland was one “of the reigning beauties — of fhe _demi-monde. At that time her waist was slender and her figure distractingly graceful.. “Time, the Avenger.” gradually altered the once-shapely form; ina word, Mademoiselle’ began to develop a most. alarming emboupoint. Like all pretty women, Celine ~ Montatand has a ‘due _propor- tion of vanity in. her, and this increasing stoutness became a nightmare toher. She had vaiuly tried one expedient after an- other,—tight-lacing, exercise and puysie,— when, in despair, she took the advice offered her by a friend of her own sex, and deterinined to try an assiduous course of mass: You must really look that word out in the diction- ary, ladies.” A Dr. M—— undertook the cure of the ‘interesting patient for a certain fund, and persevered with the massage for some time, without any visible result. Jast Mile. Montaland gave up the hope of ever getting rid of the objectionable embonpoint. ‘The doctor was politely dismissed. When he sent in his Dill, his fair patient refused to pay nore than part of tne sum demanicd, allezing the uon-suceess of the cure as areason. The matter was brought into tie law-courts, and, after some most amus- ing pleading, pro and con, by the lawyers, judgmént was pronounced ‘in favor of the af flicted actress, and against the doctor, who has doubtless taken comfort in the reflection that, after all, Virtue is its own reward!

PuapeEruia, Pa., Aug. 28.—The much- talked-of gathering of the Governors of the yarious States in this city does not promise to be the success that was so earnestly de- sired. Up to this hour (10 p.m.) the number arrived is indeed a mere handful. The lst of those present includes Govs. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania; Anthony, of Kansas; Axtell, of New Mexico; Garber, of Nebraska; Newbold, of Iowa: Porter, of Tennessee; Clark, of Col- orado; Drew, of Florida; Bedle, of New Jersey; Young, of Ohio; and Licut.-Goy. Rotterman, of Towa. The Governors whose presence was more particularly desired were those from the Southern ‘St2t The cbject of the gathering is two-told: First, to secre an acquaintance o all the State Executives, and next to have an expression of opinion frum those of the South concerning the political situation and its effect upon tbe internal commerce of the country. Back of all tus there is a litfle scheme von- cerning the funding of the debt of the Southern States, and to devise some means. to have the very heazy indebted- uess of those States liauidated, or some arrange nt made looking to the payment of a pe centage to the bondholders. It was thougut that with the Governors here to lay the matter before the merchants, not only of Philadelphia, but of New York, Boston, and. the other cities, an interest might be awakened and the aid of moneyed men be secured. With the present representation this, it would seem, will be a failure. : At noon to-day an informal reception was held at the Continental Hote! by Johan S. Mor- ton, Esq.. the new President of the Pernianent International Exhibition, Peter B. Simmons, President of the Exnibitors’ Association, and the members representing the latter organiza- tio After introductions and intercha sen¥ment in conversation, an adjournment was had until 3 o’clock, when Gor. Hartranft held a reception at Independence Hall, where there Were present a number of city officials aud a few citizens. Speeches were made by Hartrantt, Axte!l, Porter, Young, Bedle, the Hon. John W. Forney, and John J. Morton, bet Here there were expressions of sentiment which touched the key-note of the mblaze, and which, if discussed by a thoroughly representa- tive body, might result iu much good. In re ferring to the condition of the country Gov. Hartranft said that the great problem of the day was the labor question. Gor. Axtell fol- lowed this up, and said that when the people of his State shiy cattle to New York and the East, and riotous men stop them in transitu, he ex- pected the ruler of the State to do just Nartranft did, open the raiiroad by military force, znd to call on the National- Government foraid. The workingmen, he said, hada mistaken idea when thev desired the Government to reg- wiate their hours of labor and wages. They would hold up their hands and say. Put. the schuckles on To bis mind this is where they madea mistake. Goy. Bedle was emphatic in saying that no men, whether railroad laborers or ‘oad Presidents, should infringe upon the laws of New Jersey, but would be treated as he. had done with the rioters at, Philipsburg. ov. Porter, as the only Southern representative present, was highly complimented. a To-morrow ‘at 11 o'clock the great_reception will take place at the International Exhibition, and the entire day and evening will be spent the Exhibition and in the park. The party will reach New York Monday next, by which time, no doubt. the number will be inercased by the addition of Wade Hampton and Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, and several others. “Jn. patch to New York Herat, Puiwaverriia, Aus. 29.—The half-dozen visiting Governors were to-day taken to see the Permasent Exhibition, where they were received by President Morton, the ener gentleman who has recently assumed charge of the great show, and by the members of the Exhibitors? ociation. =o Mr. Sie mons, the President af the lat- ter organization, made an address of welcome, and Was followed by Mr. Morton with a few words of similar import. ‘The speech in reply. on behalf of the suests. was made by Gov. Ax- tell. of New Mexico, but several of the other distinguished oflicials also made briefand pleas- ant specches. ; ‘ Goy. sartranft, of Pennsylvania, in calling upon Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, fora few words, alluded to him as “one to whom I want to introduce you; a gallant gentleman, whom IT never-met until now, altuough we endeavored to see each other in the tield at tong range by luoking trom hilltops and through field-class Gov. Porter, a fine looking, soldicrly was an oflicer. with the Confederac through the Rebellion. Hence Goy. Hartranft’s playful allusion. The Southern Governor said, in the course of a graceful httle speech: here, as I find at hume, a spirit of concord and fraternity as in the old ante-bellum, tines. We are prosecuting with great .energy the arts of peace. We hare heen inspired by necessity; the hand of adversity has been hard upon us, but we present a field more inviting than any other.

THE LOAN MARKET 3N PHILADELPIIA. The Phitadelphia Zedyer says: “The large amount of money seeking investment on mort- gage in this neighborhood is shown by a glance at the advertising columns of the Ledger, where no less than $400,000 are spe. ly named as seeking investment ou mortgage, besides other announcements of a similar import in which no specific sum is named. No Jess than four cases are mentioned in which the money offered seeks investinent in mortyage at'5 per ceut. It seems to be quite possible now, when unexceptionable Philad Iphia city property is offered with a good margin, to horrow muney on mortgage at 5 per cent; and, in fact, moremoney seems to be offered at this rate than ‘there are takers for who can preseut the first-class security re- quired.” PLEYNA. Strong Language from the Russian Com- mander-in-Chief—A Kussian Deseription of the Battle. Correspondence London Times. Sr. PETERSBURG, Aug. 13.—Tke newspapers of to-day publish an official telegram from the Commander-in-Chief, contaiuing stroug lan- guage, such as is not generally met with im of- ficial documents. It is to the following effect: Jn foreign newspapers much Sis said ubout the fliyht of onr troops alter the uniurtunate affair of Plevna on the.30th of July, about: the purenit of our troops 0 Sistova, about the unsuccessful at- tempts to. besiege Rustchnk and Silistela, about the victories of the Turks at Rustchuk, and at other places. All that is as impudent a lie as the inven- tion, disseminated lust month by the newspapers hostile to us, of an unsuccessfitl attempt to cross the Danube ut Nikopol, and avictory of the Turks at Bigla. Once for all, I request that no attention be patd to the systematic lies disseminated by the Turkish newspapers and by that part of the Eu- ropean prees which is hostile to us. If there is n0 news from me, tbat means that all is well and there is nothing new. When anything unsuccessful hap- pened to us, I myself at utce telegraphed abont it. These words show piainiy that the Grand Duke Nicholas is very much irritated at the false reports which aré circulated by certain for- cin journals, and itis very natural that he should beso; but I must. with all due deference, re- mari that if the Russian public-are Jed ustray by these reports, the Russian authorities them- selves are ina great measure to blame. Day after day we look bere for official telegrams, and look in vai When unfavorable reports reach us from Vienna or Loudon, the official silence makes us naturally suspect. that they are true, and this state of thiags cannot be remedied by avy amount of strongly-worded oflicial telegrams such us the one just quoted. ‘The only eifectual cure would. be the regularly supplying us-with official bulletins about what is goiug on; bat this cure the Commander-in- Chief docs not seem dispused to adopt. It is only now that we are beginning to receive from Russian sources the details of the sccond-affair at Plevna, which occurred a fortnight ago. You may perhaps desire to know how the Russians deseribe it. I proceed, therefore, to give you, in a slightly abridged form, a translation of & letter published in the Golos: ‘The eecond attack on Plevna was repulscd with enormous loss. Evidently the information re- ceived regarding the strength and po-ition of the ‘Turkish troops was completely fatse. tis impos- sible to imagine that Gen, Kruedener, a most pra- gent officer, determined to attack the enemy mith the hope of driving him from his fortified positions, knowing that these positions were well fortifed and defended by troops twice as nnmerous as. his own. I call Gen. Kruedener ‘*prudent;” others call him undecided, and many declare that he is notat all energetic in attacking. How came it, then, that an oilicer of this kind ventured on such anattick? I have not been able to yet any certain explanation of the fact, for the staff officers avoid making any communication on the subject; but it is umversally believed bere that the order te attack came trom the headquarters at Tirnova. Gen, Kruedener, it ig added, did not consider it possible to present his ojections, and was obliged to execute the order at the first *t convenient” op- portunity. ‘The young Gencral, Michacl Skobelef, Was likewise opposed to tne idea of attacking. That-fact it very sigmicant. ‘Those who kaow Skobelef declare ‘that he never distinguished him- self for prudence, and-alwuys advised vizorous ac- tion, even at zreat risk. An officer who sccompa- nied him related that 38 soon as Skobelef ar- rived at the Bulzarian village of Karaitsa, held by Prince Shahofskoi, he’ reccived orders ‘to advance on Lovatz, and, if possible, occupy the town, At the same time, he was mformed that no movement of troops had’ heen observed between Lovatz and Plevna. On the 20th he advanced with his Co: brigade to Lovicha, and convinced himself. that the information received was. f. and that with the forces at his command the taxing of the place was impoxsible. He bimeclf saw inasses of ‘Turkish infuntry to the south of Plevna, and he considered tnat_it'was more than ragit to attack with a corps of litte more than 30,000 men. ancnemy who had at least 60,000. "About the ing. same “tine, Prince Shahofskoi reconnottered the | sround — westward “towards — Plevna. Reaching ‘Grivitsa “without meeting any ‘Yurks, be concluded that it was possible to attack, wf not with cc. AL least with reat hopes of success. All was ready on the 29th, but the troops rested for twenty-four honrs, To the west of Trostenik there aro two yillages; a little to the north is Koyulhoftsa, in in which was Baron Kruedencr’s ff, and ina suatherly direction Bulgarian Karaitea, the head- quarters of Prince Shahofskoi. Each of these Generals ‘had from 13,000 to 15,000 men. Alto- gether, the attack was made with more than 000 men and 146 fleld cuns. Gen, Skobelef, with his brigade reinforced by a battalion of in= fantry and a battery, covered the left flaak. The chief ob; of the attack was to drive the Turks out of Plevna and force them to cross the Vid. In the event of success, Gen. Skobelef, with his cavalry, way to prevent thein from retreating to Lovaiz, The advance be- gin about 6 in the morning. Baron Kruedener, going northwards, begun to fire a1 the advanced Turkish fortifications, but met witaa frightinl resistance. ‘The ground gave the ‘Turks an im- menge advantage. i struct bet thworks than the hights whi surround Plevna en the north, The Turkish in- trenchments were wetl drawn and strongly fortiged. ‘There was nothing to be done but to lead the troops to the attack under a hail of ouilets; and behind these hights lay anew row of hightsstrons- ly fortitied. It would have required” the whove 30,000 men to drive the Turks from their positions. Every hight had to. be taken by storm. “Baron dener perceived the im- possibility of tho task, but. Prince. Shahofakoi was fur distant, and. it’ was impossible to chaaze the plan of attack, On the left hank the Villuge of tadishevo was soon taken oy the infantry, but be- the village were the hights, and they had to be taken, with, of course, greater loss of men, They were taken, butit was quite impossible to follow up this success, | Meanwhile Prince Shakof- skoi acted most energetically, und sought to fulfill his part of tne prozramme, withont knowing what Was xoing on on the left-lank. About 5 o'slock in the evening it was quite evident that the attack could not savcved, ard it beexme necessary to think about the retrent. 1 should be wrong if Usaid that it was made in complete disorder, but it would be ridiculous to deny that it cost us very dear. The Purks threw themselves in’ masses into the posi- tions which we abandoned, and with such al: crits {hut in the hights before Radishef we _h: leave four guns. Worse still. towards 10 o'clock the Turks, with ainaes of Bashi-Bazouks, broke through our line. It impossible to think of the sever Ged; many uf them Were killed by the Bashi-baz on the field. ‘Those wha were lightly wounded had to retreat under a fear- ful musketry-tire. It is frightful to think of what would have bappened if the Turks had par- sued. As it was our losses were enormous. ‘The left lank suffered most severely. If we count the wounded and miesing, we must say that we lost at least 10,000 men. “And in what‘a condition the troops were when they returned! Ragzed. wearled, ont shoes, exhausted to the lay degree. ‘he ht lank suifered Jess, owinz to the prudence of Baron Kruedener.

The inquiry was quite urgent in some departments, andthe advance in prices was correspondingly sharp. The lead was taken’ by wheat, which went up 2%:@Ue in addition to the improvemen} of Friday afternoon. Corn, oats, rye, and provisions were stronger in sympa- thy, while barley was easier, and flour was firm. ‘The weather was clearer, but not settled, and the makets at other points tended upwards, while our receipts of grain were smaller than was: gen- erally expected would be the case at the opening of September. The tone of the markets turned largely upon the fact. that deliveries on September contracts were smallinthe mofning. Itwas not expected that wheat would be delivered freely, but corn and pro- visions were held back also, and the short interest in each case seemed to be very busy in filling, as if they anticipated a regular September ** buige,” with all that the term implies. There was an ad- ditional reason for activity in the case of. wheat: the necessity for bnying in wheat that had been «old for August, and not de- livered tho previous day. This kept up the market til! about noon, after which prices fell off. It was reported tnat most of the August wheat deals had” been settled up by noon Saturday. The current advices indicated that eome New York operators are afraid wheat will not ve forwarded there rapidly enough tg fill ales made for Seotem- ber delivery on the seaboard, the recent dectine in the West having made the farmers less anxious to send thelr property to market.

Forest, Consul-General of France in San Francisco, addressed a series of questions recent- ly to Col. M. Eyre, Jr., respecting the phytloxe- Ta, and the extent of’ its ravages in California. As Secretary of the State Vinicultural Society Col. Eyre has repiied, and in one of the answers he remarks that the ravages of this grape pest are confined princiaplly to the Valicy of Sonama, to the vicinity of the Village of Sonuma, say 3 tract of ten miles by eight or twelve miles. There it is spreading rapidly, and this year species of winged phylloxera has been observed tor the first time. In other localities the depre- dations of the insect appear only in a tew vine- yards and upon a limited number of vines, most ly on vines in rich soil in low places. Gravelly hill land seems as yet entirely exempt. ao A Thorough Performance. Three English women recently distingnished - themselves in the Forest of Dean. They at- tacked a grocer.
