SUB SERVIAN ARMY DEMOBALIZED-—-THR TURKS INDISPOSED TOWARD SOME POINTS OF THE FEACR PLAN—DISBABLI'S RASTERN POLICY CONDEMNED BY THE WORKINGMEN. Lonvor, Sept 19, 1876, A despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company trom Paris says:—‘‘A private telegram from Vienna received bere states that. tho ambassadors at Constantinopie have opened negotiations for ¢ ignatare of « formal armistice for a month.” A despatch to the Times from Vienna says:—-‘‘As the Borvian government bas completely lost control of its army—all commands being 10 Russian bands—tt will depend on the good will of General Tchernayef! whether the order for a suspension of hostilittes will be obeyed, but as atnmunition ts short # respite will prob- ably be welcome.” THK SULTAN’S REPLY TO THE POWERS. Tho correspondent of the 7imes at Vienna, in a de- spatch to that paper, comments as follows on the un- favorable reception of the Porto's reply by all the Pow- ers excopt Kngiand :— “What seems to have been decisive with’most of them was the attitude of Russia, Nowhere had the Porte’s answer produced a more unfavorable impros- Bion than at the Russian Court, where it was pro- pounced impertinent. Before the Porte’s answer was given there had becn unmistakable symptoms that tho agitation going on in Russia was beginning to produce ancfleet in Court likewise, and that tho danger of a divided opinion among tho Powers existed. The supposition that the main object of Mar- shal Manteuffel’s mission to Wargaw was to counteract the effect of a national movement in Russia, and re- strain the Czar and the government from taking an independent line of action, has every probability in view of the state of feeling In Russia. The only way Of avoiding schism among the Powers was by inducing the Porte to make formally a concession in regard to an armistice, Consequently the Austrian Ambassador ‘was immediately informed that the compromise tn ro- gard to an armistice was not deemed satistactory, and he was instructed to use all bis influence to induce the Porte to grant formally asuspension of hostilities, which she had already granted de facto. Russia, with ‘whom, sbovo all, an active oxchange of ideas has becn made with regard to the conditions of peace proposed Dy Kogland (as stated in the Times’ Vienna despatch, published this morning), seems rather disposed to be Batisfed with this general basis, aud it ought not there- fore to be impossible to frame a settlement which might be accepted on all hands; but tt remains to be seen whethor the form in which the Turks have granted the suspension of hostilities will be considered gatisfactory.”” BRITISH WORKINGNEN COKDEMN THE PREMIER'S BASTERN POLICY. Five thousand workingmen held an enthusiastic Meeting on the Eastern question at Exeter Hall last night, over which Mr. Henry Fawcett (liberal), mem- Der of Parliament for Hacknoy, presided. Resolations were passed condemning the Eastern policy of the government and demanding tho convocation of Parlia- ment.

RUSSIA LIKELY TO SUBMIT 4 FEW PRACR PLAN, » The Pall Mall Gasette's Borlin despatch says:—“It is expectod Russia will submit new peace proposals to the guarantecing Powers.” THE TORKISM ATROCITIEN IN BULGARIA—RETORT OF THE RNOLISH COMMISHION. ‘The report of Mr. Baring, Secretary of the British Legation at Constantinople, on the atrocities committed by the Turks in Bulgaria !s at last published. It 1 accompanied by a note from Sir H. G. Elliott to Lord Derby, in which the British Ambassador acknowl. edges that Mr. Baring's roport cleariy eatablishes the fact that craeltios have becn perpetrated suficient to Justify tho indignation which they have called forth, He transmits a lester from Mr. Schuyler regarding the atrocities, The report ‘ie also accompanied bys programme of the Bulgarian insargenis, which the Turks ciaim and belheves to be authentic. This programme provided for a genera! and simul- taneous rising A large numoer of villages, all of which are named, ‘wero to be burned and ra:lways were to be destroyed. The government stores were to be seized; all M salmans who resisted were to be killed and all Bolgar- Jans who refused to Join the insurrection were to be loreed into the ranks of the insurgenta FRIGHTFUL CONSPIRACY AGAINST LIVE AND PROPERTY. Mr. Baring, in his report, estimates that in the Bandjek of Philippopolis 12,000 Bulgartags and 200 Munsulmans Wero killea and fifty-two villages burned. The Bulgarians burned five smal! Turkish villages. WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER AND ROENERY, The report gives « circumstantial account of the do- struction of cach town. It states that the most fear. ful tragedy of the whole insurrection occurred at Batak, Hearing that preparations for revolt were going oa hero Achmet Agha was ordered to attack the town, Hesommoned the inhabitants to give up their arms, 1, distrusting his intentions, they refused to obey. A fesultory fight succeeded lasting two days. On the 9th of May the inhabitants had a parley with Achmet, who solemnly swore that if they gavo up their arins nota ir of their heads would be touched. The villagors Yheroupon surrendered their arms, Then all the money in tho place was demanded, after securing which the bashi-bazouks set upon the people and slaugh- tered them like sheep. about 1,500 took refuge in the ehurch, which baffled all tho attempis to fire it from the outside. The bashi-bazouks finally climbed to the roof, tore off the tiles and threw burning pieces of wood and rags DIPPED IN PRTROLKUM among the thickly packed miass of human beings bolow. At last the door was forced open and the massacre com. pleted. ‘The inside of the church was bi The only survivor of this slaughter to be found was an old woman, she alone remaining alive of a tamily of oven. Mr, Baring continucs:—I visited this place on the Bist of July. Hardly a corpse had been buried. Where ® map fell there he now lies. In the streets at every step lay human remains rotting and sweltering in the sua. The stench was overpowering. Five thousand in all were killed here and about eighty girls were carried off. ‘The eurviving inhabitants Itve in wooden huts, out- side the villago, in great misery. To Achmet Agha and his men belong tho distinction of having com- mitted, perhaps, the most heinous crime that bas stained the history of the present century. Neverthe- Jess, he bas been decorated by his government, as have also several other leaders in these crucitios. The report concindes:—*‘There was undoubtedly revolution which bad tebe crushed by armed force Dut the government is to blame for calling out ¢ basbi-bazouks, for had it sent the regular troops earlier tho bashi-basvuks would have been unpeces- sary. The manner in which the rising was suppressed was Inhuman to the last degree, tfiy innocent persons suffering for every guilty one.” THB SULTAN'S DEMANDS IN SERVIA. Brusseis, Sept, 10, 1876, A special despatch from Paris to the Jndépendance Belge says tho Porte ts disposed to reduce its de- mands to a war indemnity, the occupation of two Ser- vian fortresses, the recognition of the Parte's suze- rataty by Princo Milan without a formal reinvestiture at Constantinople and the dismissal of the present Servian Cabinet, BUSSIA THE PRIME INTRIGUER—MILAN AND HIS CHOWN.

Loxpor, Sept. 19, 1876, Mr. James Caird, the well known writer on agricul- tare, in a commanication to the Times in regard to the wheat crop, says:—'The condition and quality are all that can bo desired, but as the threshing proceeds the yield continues more disappointing. The land under wheat in the United Kingdom this year is 3,136,000 acros, which is 678,000 acres below tho acreage of 1874 and the seven preceding years—a decline of moro than twenty per cent on tho average growth. The decline from last year !s 378,000 acres, but that will be moro than compensated for by the increased yield por acre and the higher quality. 1 put the gross produce of tho present crop at 10,600,000 quarters. Deducting 300,000 quarters for seed will leave 9,800,C00 for consumption. At tho present rate of consumption with us we require for the coming year about 18,000,000 quarters from the stocks in hand and foreign importation, This is the fourth year in saccession AN WHICH AMERICA has been our main dependenco, If that should fail In any material degree it wiil bo 1mpossible to fill the gap elsewhore. In none of the European wheat-exporting countries has there been an avorage crop. British India has largely increased her export, whieh in the last eight months reached nearly five per cent of our whole foreign supply. “With no quarter {rom which we can expect increased supplies, and with some prospect of a diminution in the American supply, /t is satisfactory to Know that wo begin with « largo’stock from tho surplus of Inst year's imports. The very fino quality of the wheat of all countries warrants an increase of prico in conse. quence of the decreased area under cultivation. We may before long expect such a moderate increase on the low price of the last two years as to leave some profit to both homo and foreign growers.” THE PRICE OP SILVER, Bilver 1s quoted to-day at 51 5-16d. per ounce lassie SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLES.

T., Sept, 19, 1976, A Bismarck Tribune speolal from Standing Rock, dated September 16, gives further items of interest in relation to affairs at that agency. The board of officers appointed to lovestigate the chargos against John Gross, the Biackfect chicf, whose arrest has beev noted, found the charges unfounded, and the chief was released, when, to show his good will toward the whites end provo that he was not opposed to the hos- tiles coming in, Gross offered to go alone to Kill Ki camp and bring him in, but requested that the inter- preter, Halsy, might accompany him. Gross and the Interpretor left on the morning of the 12th for the hos- tilo camp, situated on Grand River, forty miles from the agency. On the 15th Gross returned, reporting Kill Eaglo and band and Little Wound, an Uncpapa, and band, as having accompanied hiin to within a fow tho agency, and that they had to report at o'clock this morn- miles of agreed ing.

Colonel Johnson said to Kill Eagle and Littlo Wound :— ADDRESS OF. COLONEL JOHNSON. “1 am vory glad you have concluded to lay down your arms and surrender to tho military, On leaving your agenoy last spring for the warpath you violated tho solemn treaty entered into by you in 1868 with tho Great Father. You promised on that occasion nover to fight the white man again, and you left your agont without apparent cause, and havo been instrumental in killing a large number of the Great Father’s bravest and boss soldiers, I will now conduct you to the com- manding officer, allow you to surrender to him, and on doing 80 you will be required to give up your arms and ponies and become prisoners.” THR SURRENDER. Colonel Johnson thon accompanied them to the quarters of General Carlin, and notified that officer that the Indians were ready to formally surronacr. General Carlin, shaking hands with them, asked them it they had anything to say, Kill Eaglo said ho came to surrender twenty-eignt lodges, with their ponies, arms and all they had. General Carlin asked if they had any property takon from the whito people, Kill Eaglo repliod if his men bad handled any property belonging to the whites they would not havo surren- derod, There being but twenty-nine men in tho party, Kill Eagle was asked what’ bad become of bis young men. Pointing to the tree tops, where the Sioux hang their dead on scaffolds, Kill Eagle said, “There are our young mon,"’ Bat, said the General, you must havo bad some with you. Kill Eagle replied, some have gone to Cheyonne Agency and somo remained with Sitting Bull; these are all that have come tn. ‘THE COUNCIL, ‘The Indians sat ins semicircle smoking, as is their custom, but, on this occasion, in deep silence. Tho customary “How” was not heard, and Kill Eaglo, who is a powerful orator, of commanding framo and fiash- Ing eyo, begged to be excused from making @ speech. He bad been sick, his throat was sore, &c. General Carlin said he should expect the remainder of his band tocome in and surrender. Kill Eaglo said that those who wont to Cheyenne Agency would come to Standing Rock. General Carlin intormed Kill Eagle that he and his people wero now his prisonors; that ho intended to pat thom in campand put a guard over them, aod warned thom not to try to escape, Kill Eagle said ho came prepared to die. SPERCH OF JONN GRoss, At this point John Gross mado a speech in their debalf, and saxd:—“I want you to look well at me, for the Great Spirit hears me speak. Look at these m they belong to this agency, bat they went after Indian trade, such as skins and buffalo most, and not to fight whites. They went to Sitting Ball’s camp to trade; but as the Indians have soldiers as well as the whites, they surrounded these people and kept them with Sitting Bull Thoy could not getaway, Sitting Bull beard that Kul Eagle had two young men scouts for Gencral Custer, and for that reason ho forced him to remain, but they tried night and day to escape, bat could not Finally the fight with Custer took place, and during that battle Kill Eagle and these men escaped, Before, whon they tried to escape, the Indian soldiers shot their ponies and robbed them. One day they shot eight horses and robbed them of their Diankets and goods, and they bring back the scars where tho soldiers Ueat them. Why were they thus abused? Because they belonged to the Great Father and bo ought to be angry that his friends were thas abused. This is why they came in without fear, This is why you eco thom here now. 1 want to conceal nothing When coming in the hos- tites wanted them to buy everything they needed from them, so they bonghta male to pack their childron on, They thought thoy were doing right. The Great Spirit seos them. I speak the trath and hold up my hand, See all these men. Doany of them look as if they would fight those who have boen friendly to them, REPLY OF GENERAL CARLIZ, General Carlin said:—‘We want the mules and American horses and all they have I atm very much pleased with your conduct, because you have done woll, and the Indians oaght to be thankfal to you, as it has saved them mach trouble, and the Great Father will be pleased to hear of your conduct, I will write and tell him what yoo bave said, Ihad you arrested bewause I thought your talk prevented the Indiaca from coming in, but now 1 release you, fori don” want you to suffer at the hands of my people, bat | still think your talk prevents the young men from coming, but! believe your actions better than your words, and I will report you a friond of the whites Whoever commands the agency represents the Groat Father, and whoever tries to defeat the wishes of the Great Father is nemy tohim.

EXTRRMINATION OF THE WIITES. They promised shat after the American whites wero exterminated they woult go across the border and massacre the Canadian whites The Biackfeets having ro(uxed these propositions the Sioux threatened to come across and punish them. Mr. Denny promised to ald the Blackfeets in case they were attacked under these circumstances, which pleased them sg well that they made profuse demonstrations and assertions of etergal friendship for the whites and threw themselves on the kindness and protection of the Canadians, say- ing they realized that in time they would be deprived of forage and provisions by the encroachments of the whites, The letter is dated July 18 and is directed to Licuton- ant Colonel A.

Tho following special despatch was reovived this morning fromn Beaver in regard to the trial of John D. Lee:— Mr. Splocr made a motion that Ice be discharged, on the grounds that the statutes of 1852, under which ho was indicted, had been repealed by an act of the Governor and Territorial Legislature, passed and “coming into effect on March 4, 1876, Ile read # Sections of the now penal code’ and cited numero! thorities. The prosecution made no reply. Juage Boseman replying, said:—“1 do not think there nytbing in the point raised, admitting that the statutes of 1852 are expressly repeaicd, Mut tho au- thorities cited wero applicable to tho case, andl cannot see that any immunity was granted to Jobn D, Lee by the Territorial Legisiature or by tho law.’? Mr. Denny began the opening address for the prose- cution this morning and continued tll half-past two P, M., eonfining himself to tho acts of Lee in inciting the Indians to attack tho emigrants before an answer totho message sont io Brigham Young was received, and acting in opposition to the directions of the coun- cil at Cedar, showing that Leo was the main leader in the massacre from beginning to ond. J. C, Foster, of Pioche, followed for the defence and advanced the theory that J.ce participated in the mas saere by an order irom higher authority at Cedar, and that the witnesses wore not competent because they were actual participants in the massacre. Mr. Bishop began tho closing spoech for tho de- fence. He denounced the several witnesses of the prosecution as having testitied to such facts as related to Leo tor tho purpose of screening themselves and showing that they were actual and in some cases will- ing participators in the massacre, Ho declared that the Mormon Church had resolved to sacrifice Lee, dis- carding him and leaving him to the fate consequent on such evidence as had been jatroduced. Ho denounced the oyidence of Johason, McCurdy and Hamblin untrue, saying that these witnesses were part vf conspiracy to hang Leo, and conjuring the jury not to consent to this sacritice by their verdict, in order to lift the udium and cloud of guilt that the world had cast upon the Mormon Charch, becanse ot this massacre, but throw aside the evidence of men whose bands wero imbued with blood, He closed by reading a proclamation ot Brigham Young's, with accompanying instructions, dated Soptember, 1857, when he was Governor of that Territory, as to the army supposed to bo coming from the East with hostile intentions, and begged the jury to consider the pecullar state of the country at the time, she emigrants having aggravated the Indians to such an extent that nothing lesa than their dostruction would appease their wrath. United States Attornoy Howard, in his closing speech, replying to Mr, Bishop, said he tad beon engaged con- stantly for the past three months sifting the facts and everything related so or eolunected with the massacre, and he came thero for the purpose of trying J. D. Lee, because the evidence led and pointed to him as the main:instigator and lender in that crime. Ho bad given tho jury unanswerable documentary ovidencesproving that the authorities of the Mormon Church knew nothing of the butchery until after it was commitied. Ho sald that Les, in al to Brigham Young a few weeks after the massacro, had knowingly misrepresented the actual facts relative te it, seeking to keep him in the dark. He denounced tho aspersions harled by Mr. Bishop against the testimony of Hamblin, MoMurdy and Johnson, and detiod him or the world to impeach thor testimony. He had hadall the as- sistance any United States oficial could ask im apy case. Nothing had ween kept back, and ho was determined to clear the calendar of every indiciment against any and every uiltygparticipaat i the massacre, but did not prosecute any one lurod to the meadows at a time when they were young boys, and know nothing of the vile plan which Leo originated and carried out for the destruction of the emigrants. Mr. Howard finished his remarks at half-past three P.M., and the Court adjourned until ten A. M. to- morrow, when Judge Boroman will deliver his charge and the case be given to the jury.

NO DANGER TO THE CITY APPBRHEXDED DY PROMINENT MEDICAL MEN, Inquiry among prominent physicians of the city yes. terday disclosed the fact that in medical and sanitary circles thero exists no approhension of a sproad of yellow fever in Now York. There are certain condi- tons essential to the fostering of this terrible diseasa. It seldom flourishes in s cool atmosphore and cleanly locality. A temperature of oighty degrees Is necessary for its spontaneous dovelopment 1m pinces whore it ts an annual visiter, and it makes but slow progress any- whore in a less degree of warmth, Frost generally kills (§ end even certain olla resist ite advances, But, cousidoring ite nature to be only in- fectious, and not contagious, the principal safeguard is in tho rigid quarantine enforced, Vessels from Savan- h aro as sirict!y quarantined ag those from Havana, and extraordinary care is taken to cleanse and fumt-. gate all that aro even considered to be In the shghtest degree infectod. Bosides all these safoguards the city’s health at prosent ts particularly good, a circumstance Jn itsel! suMicient to evince the favorabie condition of the tom; re and confirming the reported cloanii- — of the sani ne promin medical rwith whom the writer conversed oe een “ oe fever that dead poteven conaidored ine mecesaity general attack of of the profession ition. “While we always encourage the employment of safeguards,’’ he said, for any measures of “whenever such visitor threatens vue with ite anwel- come presence, | think | can speak for othors as well as myself when | say that there jn hardly a HILLY muck ions Immediate danger of » gouersl attack. » Rrofeasee of the Untvorsity Medial agenticman who bas resifed a good deal im the neighborhood of Chariestoa, #. G, and who is quite ismiline witn the various stages of yellow fever, agreed with the opiion above reeorded. He did not apprehend any serious results (rom the presence at Quarantine of the cases reported, although the diseono raged in Philadelphia with peculiar violence yearsago in mid-winter. You know, he sard, the medical profession doca not know the cause of yellow fever, co we cannot tell just whut condition of sot! and climate aro most favorable to ie propagation, Wo kno general principles, thas filth, dampness and heat are aids to i In Charleston patients affected by it have been known to recover on being removed to elevated locations a litle distance from the city. Evea thore it is seldom known to exist after (tho first frost of the fall.

The clothing of yellow fever pa- tients should bo burned or onherwiso destroyed. Every day that passes now . the danger to us trom enses in the port. Philadelpata, be considered, was in greater danger from suet an-attack than New York. vr, Janeway, of the Board of Health, who was alto seen by the writer, spoke in the same strain, and ture thermore said he bad given the subject special attention in the dircharge of his offiatal duuea ‘The probable period of tueubatt ce the last reported caso,” he said, had passed, and there is row scarcely @ possi- bility of danger, In any event a frost capnot now be far off and that 18 always fatal to the progress of the dis- ense, In the Southern cites where yeliow fever pre- vails to “som nt annually, a tomperatare of 80 decrees is nece: ‘y to tts spontaneous development, About the same degren of atmosph: is necessary for its started, It never spreads any circamstances.

Yesterday Mayor Wickham Issued the following: — Maron's Ornice, City Haut, New York, Sept 19, 1876. To rue Cinizexs or New Youk:— The city of Savannah 1s now desolated by yellow fever. Many persons there are actually prostrated by the disease, and many others who are thrown out of employment by the interruption of business occasioned by the pestilence arc destitute. The expenses incurred in uring for the sick and In | relieving the necessities of the poor are reported to amonut already to $1,200 daily, and if the fever con- Unues its ravages, those expenses will be larger. Much of the money to meet tho emergency must be supplied by the benevolent residing elsewhore ; and theappeal ts confidently made to you 10 give now from your abun. dance tor the relief of the suffering brought to our sis- tor city by this terriblo visitation, I shall bo happy to recervo at this oflice any contribution, whether of large or of small amount, intended for that purpose; and uniess other directions ascompnny it I shall take caro that itreaches the committce of the Chamber of Com- meroe, whieh is moving in the matter, and which will seo that the monay ts £0 applied as to effectuate the ‘object of the donor.
