Women Outraged and Flayed—Ambulances Fired Upon, EFFORTS FOR PEAOE. THE WAR IN TURKEY. ‘ABexNOE OF NEWS FROM ALEXINATZ—THE SER- VIAN AEMY DEMORALIZED—-THE GREAT POW- BRS DESIROUS OF PEACE. Loxpon, Sept. 7, 1876, ‘The Times’ correspondnent at Belgrade telegraphs the following:— “Nothing is certainly known about what is passing fn the neighborhood of Alexinatz, but there is a strong conviction here that another battle was fougnt on Mon- Gay. Nome Russians who have just arrived from the front doubt this, They represent the Servian army as reduced toa mero mob. Some of tho Russian surgeons are returning home."” ‘ THE SERVIAN ARMY DEMORALIZED, The correspondent of the News says:— “Rumors of serious demoralization and disintegra- tion of the Servian Morava army are circulating in consequence of hints dropped by Russians returning from the front. The officials here are dumb concern- mg the situation around Alexinatz.’? DISCOURAGING REPORTS PROM THE FRONT, Tho Standard’s correspondent says:—*Several Rus- sian medical officers, who have arrived from Alexinatz, confirm the worst accounts of Friday’s disaster. They say tho Servians do not hold any position at Alexinatz, and confirm the report of the Turkish advance on Bel- grade by way of Kragujevatz.”’ OPERATIONS IN MONTENEGRO. On the southeast of Montenegro the Turks cannon- aded the whole line from Podgoritza to Spiess on Tues- day, creating the impression that a battlo was progress- fng there. This proves to have been a feint, with the object of diverting the attention of the Montenegrins from Medun, which place they are investing, the Turks desiring to revictua! it, They have not suc- ‘seeded yet, and they must drive the Montenegrins from cliffs 1,800 feet high on either side ot the gap in ‘which Medun lies before they can revictual it, The Besult of the fighting in the northwest ss still unknown, DISQUIRTING RUMORS NOT CONFIRMED. There were a number of disturbing rumors from Berlin yesterday, but they were not confirmed from ‘eny other source, and it is believed had a stock-jobbing origin. ‘The opinion reported from Berlin to the Standard that the outbreak ef a Ruseo-Turkish war ‘was unavoidable is not entertained atthe other enpi- taln, On the contrary, there seems to be a growing @onfidence that the general peace of Europe will bo maintained, however difficult may be the settlement of details between the Turks and the insurgents. The Porte’s refusal to grant an armistice is algo uncon- firmed, put st is thought not unlikely, and it 1s believed the result of such refusal would be an immediate resort to the tormulation of terms of peaco between Servia and Montenegro and Turkey, leaving the question of , tho insurgent provinces for subsequent sottloment, A COMFERENCE OF THE POWERS PROBABLE. ‘The Times’ Vienna correspondent discussing the Pogotiations between the Powors says:—‘With those “pabo have been and still are for an armistice tho idea conterence for the regulation of all pending ques- js gaining ground more and more, Tho idea was ie started by France and seems to find support with ly and Russia, the latter, however, not wishing to fake the mitiative in the matter, Those who are for 1g in band peace preliminaries simultaneously an armistice ao not eneourage the idea of a conference which is likely to delay instead of oxpedit- ing a settlement on account of the difficulty in making a programme for such a conference, The fixing of that programme would, they think, take more timo than an i greemont on the general principles of pacification, the cetriis of which could be easily settled by the am- bassadors in Constantinople in concert with the lorte. DESIRE OF THE POWERS FOR PRACE, In tho face ot the many difficulties which pacifica- tion may yet preeent a reassuring thing is the unant- mous wish of all the Powers for peace, and, therefore, a sincere desire to avord anything which might lead to complications, Asa sign of this a communication made by Princo Gortechakoffat Warsaw is making the round of diplomatic circles. It was made ina way which would show it was meant to become known, and It ts reported as follows:— RUSSIA WANTS PRACE. Russia wants as yet rest for a number of years, and then, beside, the Emperor is decided tobave peace. | 80am I, and there is every groundto suppose tho other Powors are equally desirous to have it, At least, to judge by their assurances, wo may reckon on their hearty co-operation with us in this direction, YIEZENDISH ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY THE ‘TURES—WOUNDED BUSSIANS ROASTED AND ‘WOMEN OUTBAGED—VILLAGES BURNED AND AMBULANCES FIRED UPON--ALEXINATZ ABAX- DONED. Loxpos, Sept. 8, 1876, ‘The special correspondent of the Standard telegraphs from Belgrade the following :— The Tarks on Monday oceupied tho left bank of the Morava, Avexinaty is in their pow itis utterly de- serted. The Servians at woligrad are in no condition to take the field. The Turks committed great atrocities during and after tho battle of Friday, FIENDISH ATROCITIES, Hideous stories reach me of outrage and murder, of wounded Russians tied tu trees and roasted and girls | outraged and flayed alive. The roads are filled with thousands of fugitives. The governmont talk of vic. tories and kecp the public in the dark about the danger which is threatening them. Thero is no force between the Turks and Belgrade. DERVISH PACHA REPULAR A Router telegrain from Ragusa utelligence hes been received there from Sclavonic sources that Der. sish Pacha attacked Rogan, in the district of Piperi, on Wednesday, and was repulsed and driven over tho River Moraca, toward Podgoritza, ibe Turks have tneamped at Zasiop, where they await reinforcements, ' TURKISH CRURLTY. A Reuter despatch trom Nelgrade says Minister Ris- tics in a note touching Turkish cruelty in Servia tharges that forty-eight villages in the district of Aleximatz bavo been burned; thatthe Turks do not tespect the Geneva Convention, and flro on the ambu- ‘ances as soon as the red cross is seen, \WEXINATZ HELD BY A SERVIAN FORCE--A SER- VIAN CORPS STILL ON TURKISH TERRITORY — TCHERNAYEFF'S MOVEMENTS, Loxpox, Sept, 8, 1876, A despatch to the Daily News, da Deligrad Sep- vember 4, says:— “Alexinatz is held by 15,000 Servians, with ten bat« weries, The Turkish main army is divided into two dodics, One 8 cop ng with General Horvatovich, who @ on Torkisb territory im from of the Gramada Pass, and threatens the Turkish camps at Niscb, The other is engaged in a movement through the NEW YORK ‘Vankova and Kitssura Pass and over to Kracevatz, its ‘object being to enter the Morava Valley below Deligrad. The Turkish attack of September 1 on Alext- natz was a strategic stroke to divert Tchernaye("'s attention from the latter movement. Tebernayeff saw through it. Leaving a strong garrison at Alexi- natz, be withdrew the main bedy of nis army in the direction of Krasevatz ana the Yankova Pass to meet the Turkish turning movement, and there the next fight will take place. “The Servian position is precariozs, but the exact situation of affairs is unknown.” THE REPORTS OF TURKISH OUTRAGES CONFIRMED. ‘The correspondents of the Times and Daily News cop- firm the reports of outrages committed on women and wounded Servians by the Circassians and Bashi- Bazouks. GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR BERVIA, A Times correspondent say ‘When the Turks reach Krasevatz the situation of affairs will bo deplor able, The enemy will then command four roads lead- ing to every part of Servia. As tho Turks now in the fivid number 160,000 the country could be overran ina fow days.” AN ARMISTICE OPPOSED TO THE PORTER'S IX- TERESTS—HOPES OF AN EABLY PEACE. Lonvox, Sept. 7, 1876. A despatch to Reater’s Telegram Company from St Petersburg states that the Porte, replying to the rep- Fesentations of the European ambassadors in favor of peace, said in the present military situation an armis- tice was opposed to its interesta. The Porte, however, ‘at the same timo held out hopes of the speedy proposal of conditions of peace. ABDUL HAMID INVESTED WITH THE SWORD OF é OSMAN. CoxsTantinorin, Sept 7, 1876.

This latter official, however, post- pones visiting Cheofu, the place of meeting, and it is reported that be is detained in Tientsin by fear of vio- Jence from his’ own subordinates, who bitterly oppose submission to the British demands, The situation ap- pears more critical daily, The captured forts have been strongly reinforced and the Peiho river obstructed, THE GOVERXMENT EMBARRASSED, The Chinese government 1s greatly embarrassed by the renewed revolts and intrigues of secret societies and by want of money, the native bankers having re- fused to mako further advances.

Fatal Affray Between Campaign Clubs in Ulster County. Cuaruastos, 8, C,, Sept. 7, 1876 The News and Courier report of the riot last night nay’ “A Dioody and disgraceful riot broke out in the upper portion of King strect last night and for several hours spread excitement and alarm throughout the city. Tho aflair was the result of the settled determin- ation of n gang of colored rowdics calling themselves republicans to wreak vengeanco upon some men of their own color who have presumed to publicy affiliate with the democratic party. BEGINNING OF THE TROUBLE, The trouble, begun by a comparatively small body of rioters, speedily assumed formidable dimensions. Idlo and excitable colored men and boys from al! quarters hurried to the scene of the disturbance, swelling the crowd and increasing the tumult, and the main thoroughfare of Charleston was for moro than two hours 1m full possession of a fierce and HOWLING MOB OF NEGROES, cursing the whites and savagely attacking and beating every white man who chanced to be on tho streets. Captain Hendricks, with a squad of thirty of the city police, finally succeeded by persistent efforts in dis- persing the rioters, but not until a long list of BLOODY CASUALTIES had occurred, some of them serious, and, perbaps, fatal in character. All accounts agree that the Police, under command of the intrepid chief, did the:r’ duty with determined gallantry, but they were altogether too few to deal with the mob as promptly and effec- tively as the caso required. The issue ts now squarely presented to the citizens whether or not Charleston 1s to be left at the mercy of @ mob of ignorant and ex- citable negroes whenever their vicious leaders may give tho jal for riot. HOW THR RIOT BEGUN, The Hampten and Tilden colored club of ward four met last evening at Archer's Hall, J, R. Jenkins, the Vico President, called the meeting to order, and speeches were made by Jenkins, J. W. Sawyer, Isaac B. Rivers, Augustus Grant, Stephen Riley, J. W. Barn- well and Lawrence Brown. As thero had boen a threat thrown out that the colored radical members of the Live Oak and Hunkidory clubs would break up she meoting and KILL THE COLORED DEMOCRATS, it was resolved by the club to escort the colored dom- ocrats to their homes. After the meeting adjourned, about quarter past ten o'clock, the line was formed and eacn colored democrat was placed in the centre of a half-dozen whites. The line then marched up King street quietly and without in- terruption until they reached the German church op- posite the Citadel green, when a mob of about 150 ne- groes, armed with staves, clubs and pistols, came yell- ing after them, >" -rahing for Hayes and Wheeler, THE . ~\CK BY THR NEGROES, The white men stopped, and one of tho leaders of the negro gang who bad run up ahead of bis crowd, accom- panied by about a dozen, knocked tho first white man he met in the head with a sling shot, and the crowd immediately behind him fired a pistol into the crowd of whites, shouting that they would havo tho colorod democrats out even it they bad to kill every man in tho crowd to do it. ESCAPE OP THE COLORED DEMOCRATS. The whites then returned the fire, shooting over the beads of the negro mob, and a portion of the white men took Rivers, Sawyer, Jenkins and other colored democrats to the citadel, where they were placed under the guard of the United States troops. Ina shorter time than it takes to tell the story the negro mob bad inercased to fully 300, all of whom were yell- ing and shouting and breathing threats of violence, There were about forty whites in the crowd, and these retreated backward up King street, facing the negrocs and keeping them off as well as they could by return- ing the fire from tho pistols of the mob. NEGROES REINFORCED, On reaching the corner of John street the negro mob was rinforced by another multitude of biacks, who awopt out of John street and cut off the retreat of tho whites. It was at this point that the fight became hottest, It was now A HAND-TO-HAND CONTEST in which pistol shots were exchanged very rapidly, Only four or ive policemen had arrived at the scene, and these were, of course, powerloss to restrain the infuriated mob, Justice Reed, with a white man named Plaspohl, then came up and called ona posse of citi, zens, white and vlack, to assist him in quieting tho row, but the negroes would listen to nothing. A CRY OF BLOOD, They cried “Blood,” and swore they would have it, Policeman Charles Green (colored), at this time came up, and standing botween Judge Reed and Mr, Plas- phol, did ali he could to persuade the crowd to di porse, They refused, answering his words with curs and threats, Fora moment the crowd appeared as if quieting, but a skirmish between a wnite and black man on the outskirts of the crowd soon renewed tho general Oght. COLORED POLICEMAN SOT, Policeman Green became surrounded, and en- deavored to arrest a man who had just fired off a pistol, Pistos were going off every moment, and amia the firing Policeman Green fell, shot through the abdomen, and Mr. J. M. Buckner (white) was shot through the abdomen. By this time the policemen were reinforced by squads from the upper and lower guardnouses, and suceeded in separating the whites from the diacks. The wounded men were taken tothe upper station house by a deta‘!, and the fighting im- mediately began again. The whites by this time aum- bered only about tifteen men, large numbers of them having been knocked senscloss with clubs and palings with which the mob were armed. SUCCESS OF THE RiOTRRS, Alter a desultory fight of about fifteen minates longer the negroes had completo mastery of the field, Poliee- man Green was the only colored man up to that timo who was burt and ho was shot, it is believed, by one of the negro mop who attempted to fire at a white man he was protecting. Several negroes had been knocked down and five or six received bad gashes over the head; | pat none were seriously hurk ‘Tne negroes then sta- tioned themselves in crowds of forty and fitty at each corner along King street, extending from Calhoun street to the upper guardhouse, in front of which stood a MUGK AND INFURIATED HOD cursing and threatening to break in and take out the white men who bad been placed thero for protection. Whito men on the strect were scarce, and as soon as one turned a corner or came along on his way home the crowd tn bis immediate vietnity would give a yell and go for him with brickbats, stones and pistol shots, The crowds at the corners above and below them, hear- Ing the pistol shots, would close up, and in afew mo- ments the unfortunate was surrounded by a pack of over 200 negroes, who did EVERYTHING BUT KILL HIM, | They woula knock him down with brickbats, and as soon as he would get up to ran they would fire pistol shots at him and over his head, while the crowd ahead would rearrest him and give him another beating It would be impossible, in a general riot like tne one last evening, to attempt to give detaile, White man after SEPTEMBER 8, 1876 WITH SUPPLEMENT. white man came along, totally unconscious of the im- Pending danger, and was waylaid and only saved from death by the interposition of the police, A MEPORTER ON THE SCENE, A reporter of the ews ana Courier, as soon as news of tho riot reached the lower wards, was despatched to the scene, and on reaching the corner of Calhoun and King streets beheld a surging mob in the neighbor- hood of Warren street, yelling like devils and firing a porfect fusilade of pistol shots, He walked up inthe direction of the crowd, and on arriving at the sce! found a mob of negroes chasing a white man, who had bardly a vestige of clothing upon his person and was covered with blood from a dozen wounds, He was knocked down several times with brickbats and clubs, and soveral pistol shots were fired at htm. RESCUK BY THE FOLICK, 1n the midst of the cruel scene Lieutenant’ Goldin and two other mounted policemen came up to the spot, rode right into the crowd ond, after clubbing several of the mob, succeeded in arresting their victim, and carried him home in almost lifeless condition. ATTACK ON THE REPORTER, At this time one of tho mob approached the re- porter and told him that he knew him and that it would be best tor him to go home; but before any answer could be made the crowd yelled out:— “There's another white sun of ab—h! Go for him.” At which they made a charge, The reporter was nit in the head with a slungshot, while twenty more of them stood around with clubs urging the others to kill him. A policeman came up at this juncture, kept off the crowd with his club until assistance arrived, and tho reporter was then escorted to the station house, In about thirty minutes another reporter from the News and Courier arrived on the scone, Like the first, he too was surrounded and threatened; but by this time the streets had been thoroughly cleared of white men, and tho reporter had only to run a gauntlet of curses both loud and deep. THE POLICE patrolled the streets, but their numbers were too few to warrant them in arresting the mob of black savages. On his way down, however, tne reportor met with a different recoption, At almost every corner in King strect was assembled a biack mob, and the appearance of a white face was tho signal for a general fusilade of curses, rocks and pistol balls, As the night progressed the crowds at tho corners gradually thinned out, and by daylight a white man could walk up King or Meeting street with a tolerablo degree of safety. DETAILS OF THE RIOT. About fitteen minutes after the commencement of the riot the news reached tho lower wards, The ne- groes were evidently prepared for it, for they immo- diately commenced to assemble at the various street corners. At the corner of Meeting and Queen streets fully 300 had assembled in less than thirty minutes ‘They pulled off the palings of the fonces im that neighborhood and armed themselves, Every white man who passed was halted and mealted. At the cor- ner of Kirg and Clifford streets another crowd of about 100 had assembled, and no white man was al- lowed to pass them. About midnight as three white men were coming down King street, they were assaulted and severciy beaten. One of tho party who was armed drew his pistol and fired into the crowd, but without hitting any of tho rioters. The mob speedily overtook him, knocked him down, and after besting him severely, they went off. From the time the riot started until its close it was Impossible fora white man to walk down King street without running the gauntlet of a dozen pistol shots at every corner, The negroes not only stationed themselves at tho corner and assaulted every white man who passed, but they paraded the streets in mobs, inquiring at every stop for the rifle clubs, Once they fancied themselves masters of the situation, their insolence know no bounds, and a white man dared not show himself on the streets without risking his life. THR CASUALTIEG, It is more than probable that quite a number of men, both white and black, received wounds and bruises of every description, but as theso woro taken off to their homes a full list of tho casualties could not be ob- tained. The roport then gives a partial list of casualties, in- cluding two men mortally and a large number more or ess seriously wounded. MEETING OF COLORED DEMOCRATS. The colored democrats hold their meeting at Hi- bernia Hall, under the protection of about 1,000 armed whites, and no attempt at disturbance was made, the colored rioters confining their demonstrations to roaming the streets in turbulent crowds and firing off pistols and muskets, TOR Latest. At this hour (half-past eleven P. M.), there has been no serious collision, though armed crowds of blacks and whites are gathered at various points, and the city continues in a very excited condition, DEATH OF A VICTIM, Buckner, one of the whites wounded last night, died this afternoon.

A repub- ican clab of thirty Irishmen has lately been tormed there, and mach ill-teeling between the two bodies is the consequence.

WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuinatos, Sept. 7, 1876, OFFICIALS UNADLE TO RUN THE NAVY DEPART- MENT ON THE EXISTING APPROPRIATIONS— COMPLAINTS OF DEMOCRATIC RBETRENCH- MENT—THE FURLOUGH ORDER AS AFFECTING ADMIBAL POBTER EXPLAINED—GRIEVANCES OF NAVAL OFFICERS, The officials of the Navy Department, as well as navy offcers horo generally, are loud in their com- plaints of the tnjarious working of the decreased ap- propriations for the navy, as passed ‘at the iast ses- sion uf Congress, Like more of the blundering legis- Jation of Congress in straining after an embarrassing and uncalled for reduction in the amounts appropri- ated for the army and navy, in the name of an economy which will virtually create additional expense in the ond, it now appears that while Representative Whitthorne, of Tennassce, Chairman of the House Committee of Naval Affairs, was seeking to save an amount of $400,000 in the exponditures of the navy, tt fs found by the careful examination and calculation of Commodore Schufeldt, at the Navy Department, that there will bo a deficiency of $1,000,000 to meet the pay ot officers actually employed and absolutely necessary to the service, Commodore Howell, acting Secretary of the Navy during the absence of Secretary Robeson, says that the latter had ne idea of hamiliating Admiral Porter, or any other of the very distinguished and gallant officors of the navy by placing them on “furlough pay.’” It is contended that the naval appropriations made by Congress were so mengre as to necessitate some action on the part of the Socretary of the Navy to order his expenditures in such a way as to make arrangements which would keop him within bounds of their amount, Section 1,442, revised regulations, authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to place on furlough any officer on the active list of the navy. Availing himself of this in order to moet the requirements of Congress onforcing him to make reductions in expense, so that both ends would meet, Secretary Robeson determined, after issu- ing a long explanatory and apologetic general ordor numberod 216, by section three of its provisions to place all officers on furlough pay who were not on duty on the ist of September. By so doing a reduction of one-half their pay was to be secured, Those officers relieved from shore stations, harbor ships or special duty, after having one month’s loave or ‘‘waiting orders,” dating from the day of their detachment aro placed on furlough, and those relieved from seagoing vessels and baving mado a cruise, after having as many months’ leave or waiting orders as they were years on such cruise, are similarly dealt with, To be placed on furlough has always been a disgraco in tho pavy, and has never been resorted to in the exercise of the authority given to the Secretary of the Navy, except for the purposes of a reprimand or carrying out the sentenco of a court martial, Hence, independent of the loss sustained by them in the reduction of pay, old and honored officers of the navy, through a proper senso of pride in their creditable past, look with horror upon the idea of being placed on furlough. This is nupposed to have fallen with great severity upon Admiral Por- ter, but no invidious distimction was made, nor was any slight intended to be put upon him. So say tho highest officials in the Navy Department in the ab- sence of Secrotary Robeson. Another indignity which is borne by officers when on furlough pay is that they cannot wear their uni- form except on special occasions, which is so provided in the law of March 3, 1855, and, though said to be re- pealed, nothing to that effect in the laws can bo found. However, independent of the kind order of President Grant relieving Admiral Porter from the operations of the Secretary’s order, his humiliation and loss of pay would have been of short duration, as by a recent jaw of Congress he, with the three senior officers of the navy and two others to be designated by the Secretary of the Navy, would go on duty to examine into the condition of all navy yards, with a view of closing or opening them, as necessary, and to decide upon the propriety ot making a navy yard ot Cockepur Island, The officers of the navy complain that they havo suffered neglect, misunderstanding and annoyance by the legislation of Congress for a long time past, because they never go near the members and Senators to im- portune them. However, a combined movement of naval officers ts to bo made to secure the repeal of the present law and to removo their great present hard- ships, which the country does not demand. It 1s also added that 1t gives enormous and dangerous power to the Secretary of the Navy, which does not seem to be at all understood by Congress. NO REQUISITION FOR TROOPS AS YET FROM THE SOUTH—GENEBAL SHERMAN ON THR CIR- CULAR OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL—HIS INABILITY TO COMPREHEND THE ANTAGO- NISM IN THE SOUTH BETWEEN THE RACES. Latest inquiries made at tho War Department do not dovolop that any requisitions have been presented as yet for troops in the South, and no orders have been given for any movements of them, except with a view of getting companies of certain regiments all to~ gether in one department The General of the Army, while fixing up some memoranda preparatory to his start with the Secretary of War next Saturday for tho West, was to-day handed by Adjutant General Townsend tho order promulgated to the proper officers of tho army covering the late in- stractiona of the Attorney General to United States Marshals and District Attorneys, which he looked over sinilingly with the remark in his cheerful man- “Why, how quickly you have gotten it out!” This encouraged the query whether he thought the order was not conservative and could therefore not be tooked on unkindly by the South. “Ob, yes,” said General Sherman, “tho Attorney General is a very careful thorough going lawyer and the people of the South will recogoize that ho is very conservative im bis interpretations of the law. But it is very painful and astonishing to me that any of the Southern people should feel called upon to shoot the poor negroes.” Ho then instanced the difference of the people of other countries in which he had travelled, and con- spicuously, what he saw in Russia, where tho serfs had been liborated; in Turkey and Asia, whore tho whites, blacks and all sorts wero all mixed up and not antagon- ized by prejudice, and subsequently in Brazil, whore slavery was still in force, he spoke of having seen a negro who bad risen by various gradations to be a judgo and was mach respected, a fine, dignified, white headed old fellow in robes, He thinks that there wili be a quiet cloction in the South, and that the people will seo that it i to thoir advantage to havo it #0, ie does wot feel that they will object to the presonce of troops, ior they will see that ft will prove as salutary for one side as the other to preserve the peace by a reign of law and order, The negroes, who are a meck and bumble class, will behave themasivan well, Hl oes not look fer ang trouble, and believes that the [ evidence of the government being esi; prepared and determined to preserve the peace will dispel all incli+ nations to violence. General Sherman intended to.moet Lioutenant Gea eral Sheridan and others in St, Louis had ho started as he intended, at a later day, and this may have the effect of breaking off the engagements which he made to see parties in that city. He will look imto the mate ter of the Indian supplies en passant, and, with the See- retary will visit the Pacific slops, He cannot tell yet how long he will be absent, COMMODORE VANDERBILT.
