The artillery of the Grand Duke Nicholas still continues to Lombard the Ottoman in. trenchmonts that bristle aronnd Plevna, and tho new battories ercctod by the commander of the army are sald to canse conslderable loss to the garrisons. In the fighting lnst weck the Turks ore eaid to have lost 85,000 men, wlule the total loss of the Russians is placed at 15,000. That the ammunition of Osmgn Posha is failing, is very probable, for the soldlers havo not spared bollots. The drain upon it since the 7th must have been enor- nous, aud no convoys with fresh supplies have arrived. Tho First Drigade of the Im- penal Guard bas arrived ot the Imn- perinl hendquarters at QGorny-Studen. It is reported, too, that the various columus of the Guard and Sccond Corps are pressing onward with burried marches ibrough Roumanis, but it is not known whether these troops are accompanied by their necosaary trains, and are fit at once to cuter upon the campaign, or are merely in a stato which allows them to move in a friendly and fraitful country, ON THE OTHXR LAND, the notorious Chevket Pasha, who has, ac- cording to one account, assumed command of the troops collected at Orchanle, on the road botween Bofla and Plevna, and sixty miles from the latter place, Is marching for- ward to tho reliof of Osman Pasha. Whether tho aid of these newly.ralsed and hastily- organizod levies will be of any avail, remains to be secn, SOIIPKA, The latest information tells that the per- verse stzategy of Buleiman Pasha has sgain boen foiled without achleving any other re- sult than causing cousiderable slaughtor, ‘The telegram from Constantinople, which re- ported the captare of Fort 8t. Nicholas Bun- day morning, is found premature, aa the Russian position was not even sssaulted that diy. On Monday, after the fort had been exposed five days to a bombardment, in which o vortical fire was frecly employed both day and night, the Turks made a sud- den attack on the work, and surprised it. The assailants gained possession of the fort after soven hours of bloody fighting, and captured five guns, but they did not long relain either work or trophies, forlater in the night large reinforcements were received by the Nussians, and the Turks were forced to relinquish their con- quest. Retroats, for strategical reasons, bave not infrequently ‘in the history of war been found to presago disaster to the army that made them, though such mey not be the fortune in store for the Turkish Imperial Guard and Arabiau troops that assailed the Russian intrenchment on the swamit of the Balkana. It is clear that, OLOSE UPON MIDNIGHT OF MONDATY, Suleiman Pasha had been bafiled in his ven- ture. His troops and thoss of Radetzky again stood face to faco in practically the same positions that they have cccupled since the beginning of this month. The strength of nsither side has, however, been unim. paired by the fighting. On the 17th, Gen. Radetzky, in bis dis. patch which reports the iucidents of the day, acknowledges the loss of uineteen officers aud 500 men. If the Mluscovito battalions, sheltored behind thelr earthworks, suffered thus severely, the sacrificu on the part of SEPTEMBER 19, 1877, the assailants, who had to advanco scross open and up very diffienlt groundto the at- tack, must have been considerably greater, BCHIPKA T AHS.

COXSTANTINOPLE, Kept. 18.—An official dis- patch published here denles the correctness of the rumor that the Russlans had completely evacuated Schipka P'ass. It states that, on the contrary, thetwo Turkish brigades which captur- cd Fort 8t. Nicholas rettred to thelr former positions for strategical reasous, after havlog vecupied the fort for six hours, RUBBIAN ACCOUNT. Loxpox, Sept. 18.—A later dispatch from Constantinople eays the Russiansin Schipka Pass have been relnforced. Gen. Radetzky's ofticial account of the fight- lng dues not admit that the fort was ever vceu- pled by the Turke. He says: After five days' bombsrduent the Turks, at 8 o'clock in the morning, made & sudden at- tack on the fort. The attack subse- quently extended ' along the whole lue, and was repulsed with enormous loss to the ‘Turks after a desperate fight, which lasted nine hours. The Russlan loss was ninctecn officers and 400 men wounded and 100 killed. Prince Mestchensky, an aide de camp of the Czar, was killed. The latter dispatch Ia dated al the Russian headquarters, Gorny Studen, Monday, —the Grond Duke Nicholus having returned to that place from before Plevna FAILURE OF MULEIMAN I'ASHA AFTER 104 AT- TACKS—WIY TIE RUSSIANS DEFEXD TURIN FOSITION KO ODSTINATELY. Correspundence Landon Times, In Tne Ecirka Pass,.Aug. 81.—The flerce and long-contiuued attacks of Suleiman Pasha's leglons upou the Russian positions In this puss of the Balkans huve falled to drive the Musco- vite soldiers from thelr tenacfous hold upon these highte, and the Moslem leader has retired with the iarver part of Lis army, und abandoned, at least for the prerent, ull fdea ot forelug an entrance Into Bulgaria Ly this route. Gen. Radetzky, communding the Russian forces, in- formed me to-day that the. trained soldiers of Suleiman frum Montenezro had left toeir posi- tions it bis front, and that he was ot preseut op- posed only by Eryptiaus and Redifs, Gen. Radetzky occuples the positions held so manfully durmng the t days [n whieh the Moslem Lost dashed themscives so bravely Lut fruitiessly ngalust his intrenched loes. His adveneed centre holds Mt. * St. Nicholas, the lzhest point n the Schipka Pass; bis right avd teft flauks rest upon two crests, which stand a little to the northward of that point. His line forms o very ubtuse angie, the vertex of which is cut off by the central position at Mt St. Nicholus, To his extreme nzht and 1eft wre ridges -extending paratlel to the Russtan wings, and runuing northward uearly to the Gavrova road, the unly fine of communieatton of the Russian troops. Turks, havime vastty superior numeers, extended thetr flanks Auwn these last-mentioned ridees, and nearly, cuveloped the Russiau pusitions, so nearly ad cowplishing this result tuat they swept the Gabruva road i mouy places witt niusketry fire. Nothing but absolute want of generasip on the part of the Turklsh commander prevented this double flauk movement heing so exiended as comnlewiy to eat ol the Russtans from both tood and waler betore tienrrvalot Gen, Radetz. ky with lis tintely reinforcements, When Radetzky cume up on tho 20d of August, be at onee charged the Turkish positions on his tanks, and carried them,—In this way overcoming to wreat extent the difficulty ot broviding Lis men with food and wuter, Between the two llnes held by the opposing forees are deep valleys, which wight almost be called ravine, and tne Russian troups hud to go up and duwn the l!i'l!;i sides of these raviues to -reach their ene- tuies, The Russians now hotd th crest formerly oce cupted by the Turks on their right wene, wiile the latter havo fallen back to the next ridge, where they pup o desultory fire with the Russun pickets. 1n the rear of” Mt, 8¢, Niclio- 1as {5 a second peak, about half amlle from it, which forms u second centre, 50 tu speak,—baoth of them, however, running loto the line of beluhts Leld by the two wings of the Russiun army in the Bchipka Pass, Strong batteries haye been constructed upon all the Ruasiun helghts, and they are practically impreguable. 1t oy be asked, what Is this object ‘of the Russlans fu dclcnd}u;: 80 ubstluately the centre of the Bchipka Pass while the ‘turks hold the southern end! The answer is ubvious to any one stunding upon Mt St. Nichotas. Ravines aud mwountain-crests Mo on all sides na far as the eso can reach with the ald of a powerful glass. An army Lolding thia summit could sweep down upon an cuetny defending the southern endof the pass, aud, furning {ts fanks by meaus of the innu- werable ravines Which run in every direction, could foree hiu out intothe plains of Roumeliu. ‘Tie Balkans can be trayersed by infantry i every dircetion; and so stinllur Is thie conforma- tlon of the grouwd that flanking columns could move nearly everywbere without exvosing themselves to fire. "1t would require an army of giguntic maguitude to take upa poslition in these mountalus which could not be turned by & tauk movement of infantry carrylug four days’ rations in their haversacks} and, as it {s impos- sible Lo put artillery in an ponldun not directly connected with the practicable passes, Sanking colutens of [nfautry would ouly flnd thetnsolves opposed by lufautry, TLg remarks mude n relation to flank moves ments towards Koumella are cqually applicable to those made In the opposite direction: Sulel- mao Pasha, therefure, canuot be excused for not uctrating into the Gabrova Valley before the usalax furces ¢ L0o strung for him. A gencral ofticer told me to«day that, during the twelve duys' vperativns {n the Senipka Pass, the Turks made 104 distinet ageressive moves wents. Frow this some idea may be formed of the euormous losses which they imust have suf- fered. ‘They made every assault with the most deapurate courage, and were compelled to move up precipitous bitl-sldes defended on the sum- wmits by lutreuchinents.

WINTER ON TIE LOWER DANUBE, ZLondon Times, Seot, 8. ‘The Russiana have grave reason to foar belng too lnte if the account given in a letter we print his morning of the climate of the Lower Dan- ube should be verified in the coming winter. The writer of this lctter adduces unqueation- ahle evidence of the extreme severity of the weather on the lower course of that riverin ordinary years. A statement Is quoted from a Britlsh Consular report to the effect that in the thirty-seven yedrs previous to 1873 the Lower Danube remained open ail the winter only eight times. The severity of thi cold is quite un- usual for the latitude of the region, the average temperature in January being fourtecn degrecs below that of Aberdeen; but it Is cxposed te the bitter northeast winds which sweep over the Ruselan plains. In Jannary, 1364, which is said to have been not an exceptional year, the fco fn the tnlddie of the river was ascertained to be at lcast fifteen inches thick, and at the sides from twenty to twenty-five fuches. It lmpcrfl:l wo are told, vessels of the strongest build, and its breaking ur occasions the greatest danzer. What would be the position of a large Russfan army In Bulgaria exposed to such. an In- clement winter, and with this frozen barrier in- terposed between It and [ts sources of supply! Roumunia must be already exhausted, Bulgaria will be a desert, and the whole supply of the army must be transported over great distances. The cost In men and money which such a witer would entafl woald be fearful, and such a con- sideration adds another reason, and not the least potent, to the many which should fockine each combatant to listen” to counsels of peace.
