Tho Ioumnnian troops ore said to have greatly distinguished themselves, and displayed tho coolness of veteran soldiers, Probably this dispatch re- forred to one line of the Turkish intronch- monts, and not to the whole, since no other confirmatory news has been received. Do- siring at all mseks to oust Osman Pasha from the fortified hill camp which threat- oned alike the bridgo ot Sistova and Nikop- olis, tho Grand Duke Nicholas seems to havo MUSTERED EVERY MAN AND GUN at bis disposal in ordor to overwhelm tho western wing of tho Ottoman army. Tho Roumaninon divisions were bronght up into lino on the right. A large portion of Tnerctinaky'’s command was called from Loftcha, tho Cznorwitch was left to his fate, aud the comparatively weak forces remained to hold tho Balkan Pass and defond Tirnova. ESTIMATY OF NUMBERS, Ono correspondent estimates tho Rursian and Roumaninn total at 100,000, and another at 110,000, while tho army of Osman Pasha is roughly set down a$ 80,000 men, Thors is Hkowise a similar disparity in tho number of guns supposed to have been ongagad on elther sido, but it is admitted that the Rur- asians onjoyed tha great advantago afforded by tho prosont sloge artillery. ONE NOTICEADLE FEATURE in the arrangements was thal the long-talked- of turning movemont was abandoned. Tho warriors of Prince Charics woro not trusted to make a diversion in tho rear and enter Plovna from tho west. They wore, on the contrary, marchod ovor tho Vid and placed in close connection with their great allics. Nevertheless it may bo inferrod from the assembly of large masses on thoir left that they hoped either to turn the southern flank or to uso a part of tho troops to strike Osman, should ho attempt to rotront after boing expelled from the trenches. THE SITUATION OF DULGARIA {a nt the present moment most critical. Tho fate of this yoar’s campalgn would soem to hang upon a defense of Plevna, If Osman Pasha can hold the position till Mehemet All can reliove him, the Russian armies will bo in a most hazardous altuation, If, on tho other hand, Plevna falls while the army of tho Czarowitch still standa undefeated on tho Jantra the whole right of the allied armiescan be tarned to crush Mehomet Ali, To both sides timo isof vital importance, but it is more important to the Ottoman than the Mus- covite, Every doy brings the Imperial Guard much nearer to the Danube, IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS, FALLING BACK. Loxpow, Sept. 10.—A correspondent with the army of the Czarowltch ut Banitzka, a fow miles east of Biclu, under dato of Friday even- ing, describes the Turkish occupation of Ab- lava on Weducsday,—the gallant attack of tho Huasians under Gen, Timotejell, the retreat of the Turks across the Lou, and the re-occupa- tion of Ablava by Jtusslans, with » loss of 1,000 tncu to the latter. - Thoro was G AN ARMISTICE on Thureday gr the burial of the dead, Russtaun and Turk fraternized heartily wheo- ever they met during the armistice. They shook hands, exchanged bread, bartered trinkets for tobacco, and forthe first time in the war camo togffher like civillzed people. In the oventug after the termination of tho arinistico the Russians evacuated Ablava, finding it use- less to attempt to hold out longer, nine bat- talions against sixty. Late this afternoon tho wholo division reached Banitzks, where thoy bivouac, together with alarga part ofthe Thirty filth Division retreating from Gagova and Polo- marke ‘THE $AMB CORSESPOMDENT under date of Bicia Saturday noon, says; We broke up camp at Banitzks at sunriso this morn- 4] now lies between Biela and Ablava, . left for the rcene of actlun, NUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS. Loxpon, Sept. 10—A special from Vienna | says the Russians, whe seem to have thought Uttle of any danger which might threaten them froin Iustchuk and Rasgrad, are beginning to take a different view.

Lorvon, Sept. 1i—Ga.1.—A @rrespondent at Vienna says tt is not what occurs in front so mnuch as what occurs In, the rear of Plevna which will give to tho Aight there its alentficance. ‘The movements of the two Roumanian divietons from the north, and of the column of Loftcha fromthe south, leave no doubt. that the Rus- siane, whatever may be the success of such plan, aro preparing o Sedan for Osman Pasha, and he will probably havo to trust to his own resources to extricate himself. The operations of Mchemet All and Suleiman Pashas are probably too far off to bo of use to him, A REront. A Vienna dispatch ropeats rumors that Osman Pasha was retreating from Plevna. There fa, however, absolutely no trustwérthy information ou this polnt from either alde. 7.

The President ‘replica as follows: “Well, thoas views began to take form in the words of my letter of acceptance, [ considered the situation of things in the South, saw how impossible it seemed to restore order, and peace, and harmony; saw the violence and bloodshed at thetr elections; how white Repub- licans as wellas black were shot down auring thelr political contests, andI asked myuclf, Why fa ft, and how long must this conthnuot ‘Those mca down South, the white, educated citizens, gro as good men as you orl.
