SKOBELEFF AT PLEVNA, ONE OF TIE MOST UALLANT ACTIONS OF TR WAL VITIDLY DESCRINED—THE FIGUTING JOB LOOKENR OF RUBSIA—\YASTED [{RKOISM, Currespondence London Dully News, Lerr Wixno, Lovroua Roav, Scpt. 13,1 will now rulate the evonts which occurred on the Russtan extreme left, eommanded by Prince Meritinsky and Geu. Bkobelefl, Whilo the bat tle was raging In front uud to the right of me, it raged with no less fury round tho redoubts and on the other side of the Loftcha Road, but up to the moment of the sccond repulse of Kriloff, Skobeleff had not yet made his assault. Ila bad well prepared the ground, bowever. At 3 o'clok le had brought down twenty pleces of artillery to the spur of the ridgo overlooking Plevna. Not more thau 1,000 yards distant from tho redoubt I saw an iminense volume of smioks rising, aund heard & terriblo thunder, which was not more than 500 or GO0 yards uway on my left, Sko- belefl, risking his artillery in thia advanced po- eltion, was determined to make a desperate eifort to capture the redoubt In front of him, The redoubt Skobeleff was attacking was a double redoubt fn the bend of the Lofteha rosd down near Plevno. Ho had advanced his troops down the slope of the mountain within cas; range. Asthe Turks {mucdiately opened tire upon him from the redoubt he returned the tire with steadiness and precision, puttiug his men under cover s much aa pussible, Lis cannon vourlng & steady stream of shell and canister into tho redoubt'as well. For thres hours his kept up his fire, and Jus’ after Kellofl's sec- ound repulse, the Turkish fire huving me- what relaxed, dominated by the Russisn, be thought the moment had come for makivg 'the assault. Hu had four reiments of theline, and four battalious of sharpshooters. Btil} keepiug up bis uurderous fire, be formed under fts tover two reglments, the Viadimirskd and the Zoozolakl, in the litile hollow ut the foot of the low Lill on which was built the redoubt, tozether with two battalions uf sharpshooters, not more that twelve hundred yards from the scarp. Then, placiug bimself {u the best position for watching the result, he ccased tire and ordered theadvauce. He ordered tho sssaulting party not to fire, und thoy rushedd forward with their guns on thelr shoulders, with music playlug sud babuers llying, aud disappearod in the fox and suioke. BkubelelI is the only Genersl who plfiahhunll near cnough to feel tho pulse of & battle. ‘The advancing column was indistinet); a dark masa in the foe and smoke. Foeling, as it were, every throb of the battle, ho saw this Jine begin to waver snd hesltate. . Upon the instant he Lurled forward a rval regiment to support, and #zaiu watched the result. This new foree carrled the wass further on with its mowentum, but tho Turkish sedoubt famed aud swmoked, and poured forth such s torreut of bullets that theline wus nguin shaken. Bkobelefl stood In this shower of bulls ushurt. Al Lis sgen, exeart were Kiledd or wonnided, evento the little Mirghtz, who reeetved n bullet In the shoulder, Agatn ho saw the line hesitate and waver, and hie fhimg nis fourth and Mast regiment, the Libausky, on the glaci. in this new wave earried the preceding ones forward, nntil they were Alnost an the. scarp; bt that deadly stiower of bullets poured upon them: men drapped by hundrede, aml the result still re- wmauined donbtful, The line once more wavered and hesitated. Not 8 moment was to be lost, i the reboutit was to be carried. Skoheloff had now only two battalions of rharpshooters left, the hest in his detachments. Putitng himnself at the head of thean, he dashed forward on horrehiuk. He picked np the strag- leras e reached the wavering, fluctuating inass, i mave it the ingpiration of his uwn conrage and fustruction. He picked the whole mass up, and carrfed {t forward with a rush and a cheer, The whole rdonbt was 1 mass of flame nnd stoke, from which screams, shouts, und eries of uhmn and dellance arose with the decp- mouthed bellowing of the cunnon, aml, above all, the stendy, awful crasn of that dendly tiffe fire. Skohelefs sword was ent in two in tho middle. Then a moment later, whou just on the polut of lenping the ditch, hurse nud man - rolled tojether on the gronmd, the horse dead or wounded, tha rider un- touched. He sprang to his fect with a shout. then, with a formidable, savare yell, the whote masa of men streamed over the diteh, over the reirp and counterscarp, over fhe parapet, and mwept Into the redoubt like a hurrleane. Thelr bayonets maue short work of the Turks still re- malning, Then a Joyous cheer told that tho redoubt was eaptured, and that at last unc of the defenses of Plevna wus Iu the hauds of the Russlans, Skobelefl scems to be the only one anong the Russlan (ienerals who has studled the American War with profit. Ile knows {L by heart; and it will be seen by those who have studied the creat Civil War that, In this assault, Bkobelell ollowed the plan of the Amerienn Generals on both stdes when attempting to carry such posi- tions, to follow up the assaulting column with Iresh troops, without walting for the first cols tmn to he reputsed. 1€ the position proves too strong for the first column, then reinforce- ments are at hand bofore du‘y have time to break and run, Bkobeleff lud theredoubt. The question now was how to hold {t, It was dominated by the reiloubt of Krishina, on the left, already spoken of. Itwas exposed at the Plevna side to the fire of the s!mnhwwn. aud to the: Turkish forvea in the w hordering the Solla road, and open to the fire ot the tntrenched u.\m&. "Ihere wus a cross fire coming from three different poluts. AL duylight next. morninz the Turka opened fire from all sides. ‘The distance trom the redoubt ot Krishina had, of course, been accurately tneasursd, wnd the zuns dropped sliclls into the redoubt with the utmnost pre- clsion on the exposed sides. The bavk of the redoubt was a solld rock, on which 1t was jm- weslble to crect a parapet. Al the earth had heen used for the construction of the parapeta on the other slde. 1t wos evident that the posl- tion was untenablo unless tho intrenched camp on the other slde of Plevns and the hrishina redoubt cotld e taken. Skovelefl renewed his gu;unud for relntorcements mude tho evening clore. At sunrize the Turks began an attack upon the eaptured redoubt, and the storm of buttle aeuin raged with fury here, while all wos quiet everywhere else, Tho desperate attack of the ‘Turks wus repulsed, Another attack wos nade, avother repulse: and this eontinued all day long until the Turks had attacked nud been beaten five successive times. The Ruesian losses wero hcwmln}c fearful. Gen. Skobelell had lust, ho thinks 2,000 men In -lumkln?‘ the redoubt. By the afternoon he had lost 3,000, moru in bolding 1t, whils his_buttalions shriyv- oled up and shrank uway as {f by magic, One battalion of sharpshooters Lnd been reduced to 160 men.

Kurnputkin, chlof of the atafl, standing beside this otllcer, had lis hair singed, aud auf- fered nscvere contusion. Only Gion. Skobelell himself remained untouched, He acenis to bear & charmed life. Il visited the redoubt three or four timea during the day, encouraged the soldiers, telling them help would soon arrive; "lovun would soon be taken; victory would soon crown thelr cflorts; telling them it was tho final, decisive blow struck fur thelr country ; for the Lonor and glory of the Hussian arms; and thoy always replicd with tho same choery shouts,” while’ their numbers were dwludling away by hundreds. He again and again sent for reinforcements, and arain and wgaln in- formod the Communder-lo-Chief that the posi. tion was untenable. The afternoon wore away, and no reinforcementa came, Gon. Lovitsky, as 1 have been Informed, formally refused refn- forecments, either becauso he thought the posi- tion, In n;flu of Gen, Skobelef's representa- tious, was tenable, or becavss he had no rein- forcemeuts to give. Gen. Krilot!, ou his own respunsibility, sent the remnant of & regiment which had attacked the redoubt, which [ saw rush forward and then hack through that Indian corn-lleld.

He had been thers scurcely an hour when be was Informed that tho Turks were again attacking the right flank on the Lovcha rond, imniediately sbove Plevna, Ho eulloped forward to see, and was et by an orderly with the news that the Turks wero also attacking tho redoubt for the sixth time. e dashed forwani toward the rcboubt In hopes of reaching it in timo, but wos met by a streamn of his own wmen flylng bock, They wers exhausted by forty-clzht hours' {ucessant fighting, and wers worn out, hungry, and dying of thirst and fatigue, ng to the fnactivity of the Russjans during tho day, the Turks had boen enabled to collect an overwhelming force, which had made one lust lll:lrfl'llm sffort and had suc- ceeded fn driving the Russians out.

With this Intent the form of the deht statement hus been changed, and to<lay in ad- ditlon there has hecn fssued s comparative statemuent of the condition of the Treasury on Oct. 1 this year und last year. This statament at a glance nidicates ol the importunt chauges, amd Is like to be & more pupnlar report than the debt statement ftaelf. Some of the most strik- ings features of this report mag be seen by the followlug comparirons. The amount of cur- renicy in the Treasury to-lay was about $14,000,- 000; last yeor about $12.000,000. The smount of lezal-tenders now held for the re- demption of - certificates of deposit s $5.500,000 greater than last year. The amount of cofn has {ncreased from $64,500,000 to over $119.000,000. The amount of cofn actually owned by the Government s PULLY TWICE AS GREAT 28 that held a year ago. The outstanding legal tendern bave been reduced within a year from £308,404,740 to $356,014,432, and the fractional currency from about §20,000,000 to about 218,000,000, making & contraction of legal. tenders of nearly 12,000,000, and of fractional currency of a like atnount. This table will also contain cumparative statement of Imports nud exports. That published to-day shows a grati- fying inereare fn the forelzn irade during the yer. The importa have fucroased $24,000,000 £01,000,000. WILL RETIIE LEGAL TENDERS, Becretary Sherman, it is sald, bas declded to take from his currency balance this month all legul-tender notes to be retired to the amount of the new [ssue of banking currency Instead of selling grold ta procure thom fn the market. This step s sald to have been decided upon In consideration of the cundition of the noney market. Persons who claim to have knowledge of Sherman's Intentiouns say that be will recotn- mend to Congress that the 4 per cent bonds be mado exchianceable for greenbacks at par, and that the creenbiacks thus obtalued be retired. ‘This statement, however, is not made upon the authority of Secrotary Hhernian limeelf, and 1t cannot he definitoly stated that such is his pur- pose, but It 1s well understood that he is in l?vnr of populurizing the Government sccuri- tics.
