Semi-oflicial Germsn papers declare that the policy of Germany consists just now of pushing peace negotiations ina disinterested-and unspecu- lative manner, The policy of England, it is tios as noon as possible without referenco to conditions, which is anything but a disinter- ested desire, aince sho only cares to ADVANCE HER OWN COMMERCIAL INTERESTS, which are in a languishing condition, But it is hardly necessary to point out that, what ever may be the policy of other Govorn- ments, no negotiations can be offielally commenced without tho xpress re- quest «from ono of the = two conflicting Powers. It is said that if the Russians con be driven out of Schipka Pasa and held at bay in Bulgaria, the Porte will take the initiative in proposing peace, | If this report bo accurate,—and I have reason to beliave it 1s,—the Porto would prove once more that it is No NOVICE IN DIPLOMACY, It can entertain no doubt whatover as to the refusal of Russia were such proposal eventu- ally made; but by offering peaco after a vic- tory, and when occupying exceptional str.t- egical positions, tho Turks would unques- tionably put tho right on their side, gven-in the eyes of thelr most determined opponents. Attbe Russian headquarters it is stated that no overture for peaco WILL DE LISTENED TO until after somo overwhelming victory, when the Czar can dictate his own conditions. Unfortunately, this is no vain conjecture, The Russians are determined to fight to the last, and thé Czar has recontly declared that ho will return to Russia either doad or victo- rious, = ¢ THE FALL OF LOFTCHA. AM BYE-WitNESs" ACCOUNT. Lonpow, Sept. 7.—A correspondeut with the Russian army at Loftcha thus describes the ints battle there; Tho artillery did most of the fighting unttl 8 a.m, when the right wing made a rush forward, and the musketry firing became very heavy, the Turks pouriug a steady rain of tire over their parapets, At SStwo regiments of infantry were ordered up to assist the tirulileurs of Dubrovolsk!. Even at this early hour tho heat waa so intense thet an oflices arrivlag from thy tine of march of these two regiments stated that 100 men had fallen by tne wayside over- Goine by heat, AtD o'clock the ritte tire INCREAMED IN UNTENAITY, aud extended further up the Osma. Tho Uraillours were sweeping the ‘Surke down, aud our jsuns opened a heavy dre to assist the tn- fautry in their onward movement. At half- past 9 Navinsky's regiwent wound through a little defile bebiad one of the two Turklah ree doubts, aud the two regluneats named after the Gerwan Emperor move upou the other, At 10 o'clock good news arrived from the right. The Turkish positions had bees taken on that trout, aud the Russtaue wore MAsfEUS OF THAT PORTION. They must vow take the taolstea ridge called Mount Rous, whitch overhangs Lottcha, and forms the western key of the position, With this iuthete possession Loftcha ts theirs, aad there remains ,ouly tholarge redoubt forming the western key. At 10:20 dring had ceased entirely upon the right, the Turks baving ded across tho valley, leaving Dobrovolski uvopposed. Geu. Skobe Jef had gone with teu battalions towards the extreme leit to taka Mouut Rous, the isolated ridge. At 10:30 the pattcring of musketry on the left tells of SKOBEBELEP'S ADVANCE, At 10:40 bis columu was seen moving down the slope of empbitheatre and crossing the little volleyinteryening between the slop: aud Mount Rous. The Russian artillery wow upaus tree mendous shell-dry upon the slope of Mount well understood, is to put an end to hostili-- traverse covering thls gorge, and the Turks are Rusalans, and the survivors wero resting under the little ridges of the road and the Ofma, The men advanced fp open order at a rush, and the ‘Turks kept up A STEADY STREAM OF FIRE. ‘There was not the slightest break {n the raln of bullets, yet it was wonderful to sec how small a proportion of them took effect. Some- whole space between the river and bluff. F could see where every bullet hit around him hy the dust which it threw up, and set he gener- ally got scrosa unhurt. There wero minutes when no Russian was under fire, and yetthe Turks ucver stopped. It appears that the parapets without looking. The Russians declare they never saw even a head above the bank. By 3 o'clock considerable force had been col- lected under the bluff aud commenced workiog round to the angle of the redoubts looking up the Plevyoa road, while another party, to dis- tract attention from the first, crept up the face of the bluff and opencd a scathing fire on the face of the redauot towards Lofwha. Away to the northward of the Plerus road the Russlan force now makes {ts appearance with a battery of artillery to cut off the Turkish retreat towards Pievns. Another attacking coluunn isnow seen ad- vaucing up the River Osma from our extreme right. They are scattered In open order, and steal along unobserved by the Turks to relo- force the party under tho northern end of the bluff, Allthis tine the Turks kecp upan incessant rifle fire, but the guns on the hilts at the back of the redoubt only tire occasionally, as our troops cannot be seen from that position. ‘TNE WUSSIAN ARTILLERY THUNDERS AWAY VERT , BAPIDLY, and two batterics aro now advanced down the road nearly to the cde of the elty. ‘The Rus- slans gathered under the bluff now make a rush forward and secure possession of some Turkish trenches infront of the castern fuce of the redoubdt, within a 100 yards of the ditch. It fs now4p.m., and the decisive moment approaches. The men along the Loftcha front of the work open fire and draw the bulk of the Turkish fire iu thelr direction, when suddeoly obout fifty Russlans MAKE A ROSIE upon the eastern face of the redoubt and ap- prosch within lty yards of the ditch. They were compelled to retire by the tremendous Turkish Ore, Alter twenty minutes of de- sultory fire the reat attack is mado up the slope facing the eastern side of tne redoubt.. Tho Russians’ rush up io open order, keeplug a ateady. stream of reln- forcements following the advance, A PERVRCT DELUGR OF SURLLS {a poured upon the redoubt from our batterice as the men run up the slope, while the Turkish jnfantry fre ts incessant, and if it were well directed = every = Russian = would have been sbot down, As it is, many fell.

Spectat Dispatcd to The Tribune, New You, Sept. 7.—A London special says that thus for the war has given very few appor- tuultles for great newspaper feats. These few, however, have been made the most of, and the London press especially deserves the highest praise for its enterprise snd vigilance. At the outset the Times lad tts plans with great vigor and forvsight, promising to overmatch all its rivals. Itsent out a regiment of correspond- ents, covering every point, with a princely dis-” regurdof expense, depending apparently upon, the uumber of its men for a certainty of: success. The correspondents of the Times ure undoubtedly an able corps of gentlemen. worthy ofall the prestigu and dignity of that illustrious English journal. Unfortunstely, however, these gentlemen have scemed to be lacking in the one casentla! clement of enter prise, To use 8 sporting metaphor, they have shown plenty of action, but no speed. However excellent are the qualities of a war carrespandent, ‘THE FIRST GREAT ESSENTIAL fs that he shoulu be able to get through to his journal the account which be has written.

It is something for which recompense can be found {u additional caution for the future. BUT THE NEWS of today becomes history to-morrow, and its uso tothe journalist is lost forever.
