= THE SERVIAN WAR. Immense Losses at the Battle of Gredetin. MUSCOVITE OFFICERS KILLED Twelve Hundred Servians Killed and Wounded. SERVIA’S FEAR OF RUSSIA. Will the Czar Attempt to Control the | Southern Slavs. Butcrape, Oct. 8, 1876. At length Servia has won a battle. As a strategic ‘Mort it was of no significance; there was no strategy. | 43.8 means of encouragement it was invaluable. Tho Turks attacked first, assu wg the offensive as they did on Sepiember 28 and 20. These fights will continue only as long as itis necessary for Russia to concen- trate sufficient men to drive the Turks out of Servian territory, which may not be until November; but, mean- while, it is gratifying thot the Moslems have for once received a check that will make them extremely cau- tous, Tchernayefl’s recent efforts have aimed to con- fine the Turkish operations as far possible to the valley of the Morava, with or without the capture of | Alexinatz, Abdul Kerim Pacha bas sworn to capture Deligrad, even if he has to pass around Alexinatz, leaving the Servian garrison there to be dealt with by his rear guard or after the forts of Dehgrad have been silenced, and his constant @ttacks show his impatience. Thereis no longer any doubt, however, that should he succeed in forcing a passage to Deligrad he will hi to encount Bu- merous regular Russian army, which will take up the war where Servia hat to succumb. To avoid any such encounter it is believed the Turkish government will have to issue an order to the Ottoman troups to evacu- Bte the Morava Valley. These last two batties have shown most thoroughly the uselessness of the Servian militia, and even the most enthuSiastic itussian will find but little to boast of. Furthermore, when it be- comes known at St, Petersburg and Moscow that dur- ing the late massacres—tor recently every fight has been a slaughter—Rugsia has lost heavily, the war ex- citement, which coula not be kept down even during the truce, will break out with renewed vigor. BATTLE OF SEPTEMBER 28, On September 28 twenty-three Russian officers were Killed and a mach larger number wounded, and 1,200 Servians were placed hors de comvat, most of these being killed on the field. Let me givea few detaiis of this butchery of the 28th, which was perhaps the ‘worst of thecampaign. After aday of quict, devoted to burying the dead and attending tothe wounded, the Turks suddenly conceived the idea of cutting off the communications of the corps under Horvatovitch, oc- cupying the central valley leit of the Morava, from the e@rmy at Deligrad. Turkish troops numbering about 2,000, whose advance was covered by thirty pieces of artillery, commenced the attack early in the morning Bear, the village of Gredetin and at a point below named Krewete, which is not marked on the mapia the hands of the chie!-of-staff, this latter place being the prin- tipal centre after the artillery nad been silenced. The doufict lasted tho entire day, both sides Sshting with an ardor bordering on murder as Aanderstood among human communities. At nightfall the Servians had not budged an inch, remaining frm | 4n every position, and the Turks had to fall back to | theirs, carrying back hundreas of wou ded and leaving | behind the dead, Thoy had suffered worse than the | Servians, for the reason that they were the assailanis against almost invulnerable fortificationa During the day the Serviany made a raid higher up the valley, uemy out of the village of Zechitza, and re- RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. It ds generatly understuod here that nearly all the Russian offers seat into Servia to take responsible commands nave been selected by the Czarowitz him- sell, I bad a conversation with two of these who re- cently arrived here im command of 500 volunteers. England, in their opinion, could net befriend Turkey to any appreciable extent in the event of a war between Turkey and Russia, and that ifsbe did the Russian army corps in Khokand, numbering 30,000 men, but a few days’ march from tho British border possessions in the East Indies, might create some trouble for her. They maintained that Enziand in India was no more popular than Russia in Poland, and at worst it would be simply | @ change of oppressors wherever the Czar should plant | his standard, This may be accepted asthe feeling in Bt. Potersburg ; butitis evident they forget the in- tense hatred the 300,000,000 of Mobammedans in the Fast have for Russia and that this fanaticiem would readily unite them in front and rear of the Muscovite armies, Again, they said it was a great error to sup- pose that if Russia wished to prevent the Turks from ovorrunning Servia she would allow the war to drag on antl next spring, that it might be sett\ed according to the ideas governing diplomacy. Her army neither | needs the fragrance of summer ‘lowers nor the warmth ofthe sun to make it effestive; it has been trained amid the rigors of the bleak North; consequently a winter campaign is the moro popular. A wintor campaign would also mean that tne Baltic ports would be safe from attack by sea, because the ice would prevent a fleet getting near them. It is easy to see from these expressions the current of thought in the regular Russian army. Theso officers talk ‘‘war’’ from morning till night. They come here impressed with Russia’s determination to fight rather than allow Servia to be crushed, and they scatter their ideas | among the dwellers in Belgrade until they also appear | to have converted the place into a species of Bedlam. STURBORN Facts \ press into prominence, however, and show that while | the Turks Lave not taken Alexinatz or forced the pas- sage to Deligrad the Servians arg utterly powerless to drive the epewy from the hills which they have forti- filed on Séervian -territory. Belgrade and Stamboul maud face to face awaiting the result of the peace negotiations with the Powers who now hold the lives of both in their hands, Yesterday the intellizence was received here tnat the Porte bad agreed to the status quo ante belium as to Ser- via and Montenegro, and to grant certain reforms tor Bulgaria, Bosnia and the Herzegovina, The news was simply discussed from a Russian view througbout, Bel- | grade people say that they have had enough of promises. They must have guarantees now. Guarantees must be scconded by foreign bayonets. Every commission will fail, say they, unless the Powers send troops with it, because the Turks in the body would have the civil sutborities on their side to enlorce uny view they de- sired. Russia will not assent to anything of this kind. Sbe bas promised her support to the Slavs in rebelhun, and she will secure favorable terms fur them or go to war. 1 do not consider that sufficierct importance has been attached to the action of the Siav committees in Russia Since the commencement of the Servian-Turco war, ‘These committees are simply a kind of gov- ernmental machine, which only waits for an opportunity to operate. Diplomats, especially those of Grout Britain, might have been very woeasy, since | the breuking out of the war, had they known that such powerful societies existed, having the approba- | Mon if not the support of tho government. Dipio- | matists have muddled matters for Englaad about the same as Ollivier and De Grammout did for France. Lord Derby and Sir H. Elliott have not oniy compro- mised their government, they have compromised the peace of Europe, People here protend to believe that England will not stir when the question of fighting is forcibly presented. A Russian officer, who came here from dloscow to-day, says that the Stay commitiecs have enrolled 23,000 men within eight days.

Southern Siavs do not want union Northern Slavs. [f such a union were made it would be because they could not avoid it. Similar sen- timents actuate the Slavs of Hungary, Croatia, Dal: tia, Bohemia, Slavonia and Gallicia, who would sep- arate themselves from Austria if they did not fear dommation of a worse kind, Upward of 12,000 of Austrian Slavs are now tn the ranks of the Servian army, aod fight with ali the energy of men who have volunteered in @ holy cause, for which they are willing to undergo paim, submit to sacrifices and exile them. selves trom their families and homes.

If this istrue of the Slavs sabject \o Emperor Francis Joseph, now much worse must they feel who for generations have jelt the iron grip of the Sultans of Stamboui’ Servians decline to submit to Russian oppression. Here, then, is the picture of a friend and an cnemy combined. Servia calls for aid, appeals for sympathy, hands over the command of her troops, but she dues not want Russian government. MM. Ristitch is becoming so alarmed with the strides Russia is making that he almost inclines toward peace. He fears evidently that at the first misuoderstanding Russian might say, ‘You declared war without being prepared jor it, and when you saw the Turks marching upon Belgrade, fearing complete annibilatio you sent to us for assist- acca Now we have come and mean to stay.” I am assured, however, that Servia began the war without other promise or expectation of any outside aid, especially trom Rusbia, The pro- gramme appears to have been that, while Servia was engaged, Bosnia, Bulgaria and Herzegovina were to prepare themselves so that Turkey could not utterly conquer one province without baving to resist the com- bined forces of the others, Russia’s promise was not official, yet it was a promise, Hadit been otherwise there would have been much more trouble in the vian Cabinet, Servia now seems to hold about the same position with reference to the Slav populations as Piedmont did, supported by France, when abe de- sired to deliver [taly trom the oppression of Venice and the tyranny of the Bourbons of Naples. It is con- ceded here that the Eastern question will not be solved until a confederation of Yongo-Slavs is created, com- prising the territory between the Adriatic and Black seas and the Carpathian and Balkan mountains, but who will daro to give these people the benefis of ninc- | teenth century civilization’ Will Austr‘a or Russia?

First Day of the Au- tumn Races. qu GRAND ATTENDANCE. Sunbeam, Vigil, Susquehanna and Add the Winners. Bawtivors, Md., Oct 25, 1876 fall meeting at Pimlico, postponed from yester- day im consequence of the heavy rain storm of the preceding night, began to-day, The track was very heavy and the weatner cloudy and cold, but there was an excellent attendance, when the fact that a charter election was held in the city is considered. There was a good deal of speculation with regard to the events to take place, and pot a lew were disappointed. ‘TLe con- dition of the track and the untavorable weather, in ail probability, kad much to do with the results. In only one instance Was oven the second tavorite the winner, and in the two-mile-heat race, the distancing of Tom Ochiltree caused an immense sensation and the loss of @ large amount of money, A more than usua! number of surimen are here, but the results of to-day have un- settled most of them, and they will be careful during the remainder of the season. For the first race Doswell’s entry sold highest in the pools, and the expectations of his iriends were realized by Sunbeam winuing the race with apparent eaae, aud Waller, who was in the fleld, was second.’ |The Dixie Stakes were looked to with a great de: interest. Lorillard’s entry sold in the pools equal to the balance named for the race, but the frienas uf Vigil bought | treely, i full confidence that he would makea good record. This race was well contested, and while Parole was the favorite Vigil was forced at the proper time, and he went to the front, winning easily, showing great endurance as well ab speed. in the Central Stakes Cloverbrook was the favorite, though Susquehanna, Princeton and Bombast svla well up to him. Clover- brook ran well in the start and to the half mile, when he gave way. Susquebanna wag hold well ‘n hand un- til the horses came to the lower turn, when she shot ahead and won easily. The event of the day, how- ever, was tho two-mile-heat race, in which Tom Ochiltree and Ada were prominent, The friends of Tom Ochiltree backed him strongly, and he sold im the pools 4 to 1 over either of the other horses. artnership had some friends who backed him. There were five in the start, but Paladin and Athlene were distauced in the first heat, and Tom Ochiltree was apparently an easy winner, Beiore the start for the aes heat tne were nove to bid against Tom* Ochiltre and omly the second place in the race was sold. From the start it was evident that Tom Ochiltree was blown out, or was not equal to the task before him. He was last in tbe start, last all the time, and distanced at the finish. Add had ouly to galiop over the track to tuke tae ruce and the purse, and Partnership toox the second money. The following are tho summaries of the races:— THREE-QUARTERS OP A MILE.

BRENTANO APPROVES OF IT. ehiereoteneee The Smaller Dealers Variously Affected by the Change. EE + MEETING OF THE NEWSMEN pees See eneaesy The reduction in the price of the Henato has created ubiversal satisiaction among 113 readors, but, as will be seun from the appended interviews, has given bat « very qualified share of gratification to many of the newsdealers, who aro indisposed to baudie the HeraLy at the reduced price. Those, however, who, like Mr. Brentano, know the pulse of the public, acquiesce in a reduction which will be an eventual gain to them, MR. BREXTANO'S OPINIONS, A Heracp reporter called on Mr. Auguste Brentano, of Union square, last evening, to ‘earn bow the Hena.p, at the price of three cents, was selling at his stand, Mr, Brentano is one of the oldest vewsdealers in the city. He is @ehort, full proportioned man, with a lame step, His head is like Daniel Webster's, and his eyes indicate a man of consider. able native rtellect, He started years ago, as all New Yorkers rememver, in a small way on Broadway, selling newspapers exclusively, He adver ised extensively, and the name of Breniano was as well knowa as the Washington Monument, Emorging trom the enryyieis condition in which we found him in lower Broadway, we tind bim to day with au aureola ot newspaber selling glory around his head, and wy tind him further ancbored in safe and and conducting a great bookselling business. In reply to the Heratp reporter's query Mr, Brentuno said: —“I thivk the Heap never did a better thing, | 1 gave instructions to my clerks to se] the Hkkalo ut three ceuts and vever to ask any more, We tiave the Jargest cal! for the Heraup, then the Tunes, Tribune, World and Sun.”” “What do you think, Mr. Brentano,” asked the Hrnatp reporter, “ol the newsdealers’ attempt to shut down on the Henato?” “They can’t,” said Mr, Brentano, with some de- gree of feeling, “shut down on the Hkaarp, ihe Heratp the means and the machinery to dis- tribute the paper, and these people aro simply kicking Ayainst the goad The HERALy is the great paper of this contisent. 1 aend tv Mir. Delmonico’s restaurants filty papers daily, and the most of them ar Herarps The fact is, my friend, the HrkaLp is un indispensable article in this community. When 1 tirst com:menced business, years upon years ago, I sold the HexaLp at one cent and made money on ii, aud J um not now going back upoa the old paper that helped me to wake a living. No, sir, Tho Heap will sell in spite of the devil.’”” WHAT THE NEWS XTAND KEEPERS Say. “What paper did you say, sir?” inquired the woman ip charge vf Zyson’s stationery and news shop at No. 745 Sixth avenue, yesterday morning, to a casual cu: tom “1 want a Hero, please,” Proflering the desired copy, the saleswoman received gdime in payment, returning but six cents change. The buyer made a prompt prote: You have given me too little change; the price of the Heuao ts only three cenix,”” “We charge four, sir,” retorted the woman, “und ‘we uin’t goin’ to sell it for nothin’ less. They want us to get up st three o’clock in the mornin’ and tramp through slush and snow and kill ourselves tryic’ to sell their paper for nothin’. No, sir, we sban’t do 11,”” and the indignant female put ins ukiinbo, shifted her attitude to one better calculated to withstand a general assualt of the public and glared defiance at ber interiocutor across the counter. ‘But, my dear m«dam,’’ was the mild and concili- atory response, “your logic is at fault, You object to miakiug a proiit of nearly twenty per cent, ana yet you coully take it for granted that I will consent to be charged a cent more than the regular price. You ery out against a gain of ‘only’ ope-sixth, yet ask me to beur a luss of one-fourth. Do you call that a fair busi- ness transaction ?”” y -Cun’t help it,” said the woman: ‘‘if you don’t want the paper you necdn’t keep it. Four cents is our price, und We mean to stick to it,”” Whoreupon, find- log the battle unequal against temininity and iilogical reasons, the searcher after justice ani! the HeRacp be- took himself further up the avenue. At DeWitt's shop, No. $11, there was a pale and voluble youog mun to whom the demand fora Healy was os a red flag to a bull, ‘No, mr,’? he retorted, jth auwecessary vebemence, ‘no Hskatva here, You won't find any HkkALDS on this ave The dealers wou't have’em. Wo can’t bandie’em at a doveut ‘ney suy they will serve them by wagons. Do we anybody will get out of bis warm bed at the our we serve tbe pavers, und go bunting around the stroet coruers jor 4 Wagoa in the suow and raiu, for tbe sake of getting a paper?” und as be propounded this inquiry the young nan gave it emphasis by pluat- ing his ist Ormly upon tho counter. “But tue HxkaLo wil establish rival dealers if neces- sary, and distribute its papers as eusi!y as ever.” AM right,” suid the young man, ironical if it ‘were too palpably ‘all wrong” to permit a mer late. ment to thas effect, “All right; but it'll cost ‘em a hundred thousand dollars to do it.” At this puint in the conversation an elderiy gentle- mau stepped in to inquire lora Heratp, While the young Man was gatheriaz his pinions fora fresh fight in the elderly individual’s behalf the first customer withdrew, At the store of Thomas Oxx, No. 827 Sixth avenue, the pruprictor met the demand for a Hera.o with 4 regret that he had just sold his last copy. In reply to a question he said ve the paper at its vew price, though he thuught three ceuts a copy was too Jistie to ask. “If there was smooth sailing apd no bad debts it vould @ different,” said he, somewhat apologeticalty, but there’s hurdly a month fe «don’t get stuck by some cusiomer, and when we get beat outofa month's bill it takes a big bite out of our profits, We don’t belong to any combination agaiust the Heratn, and we can’t ask more thun the legitimate price of the paper, as some of the dealers buve been doing. We intend Ww serve our customers just os usual, and to sell the papers, but we ly can’t make mueh of anything at the present profit, At Jumea Inned’, No, 881 Siath avenue, a middle- aged wonan was busil¥ enguged measuring out candy from glass jur. To the inquiry for acopy of the HxwaLp she neither paused trom her ovcupation nor turned her head, ‘o”’ in a sepulchral tone, and coutinued to pour out the bonvons. “pou't you keep the Hrratv?” persisted the cus- know; we've stopped selling it.”” Forbearing to intrude {urtuer upon the evident afttic- tion that the temporer, Hekatos bad brought upon that house the inquirer passed quietly ito the street. At William G. Ford’s, No, 909 Sixth avenue, a copy oi (he HekALD Was Landed over the counter, aud only lhe legitimate price, three cents, taken in ‘payment. ‘The purchaser ventured a compliment upon the busi- bessiikko promptness of the transaction, und asked the dealer's opmion of the reduction in the price of the paper, “Well,”’ was the answer, “I shatl sell Hexatys as | tong as Teun get them to sell, f don’t understand nor sympathize with the action of tha dealers why | ave made such a notse about the reduction. It is a very foolish thing to try and fight against the | Hxnatp. | have not been so long in the business as some of them, but lao not see why the Hexatp shouldn't be nandied at the redu ed price. | ‘Those miseravie dealers can’t make anyttiog by acting ay they have Leen doing in thie ma ter.” ‘The dealer at No, 962 Sixth avenue said he bad sold out his murning’s supply, He was selling about the usual namber of HeRAtps, aod serving all his cut mers. somy he badn’t one left to accommodate the aemand, At the stand corner of Fifty-second street and Sixth avenue there was no cupy of the Hkuatp left, The proprietor was selling the paper as usual, bat had sold the last copy « few minutes previousiy. He aido’t profess mnuch interest in the agitation among the com- pinining dealers. A pleasant-laced young woman, who presided over | the store on Seventh avenue, near Pointed to the sign displayed outside, whon asked about the HrraLp, and said, “Do you see that notice’ That reads, ‘The Hexaud tor saie throe cents,’ Doesn't that look if we meant to sell the paper as fast as we can’ Wedoa’t know anything about the otner dealers, and don’t caro what they are doing, Shall keep a Hxracy for you to-morrow morning, sir?” And tho enterprisiag yousg woman was loth io let her customer dopart without lending his name to swell the subscription Its, “We can't keep HEeRaLps at three cents a copy,” ler at No, 696 seventh avenue. 100 customers for the HexaLp and cov- tinue to serve “em asx usual, but we don’t keep any r service requires, You soe we ure hable to get stuck on our monthly subseribers and, anyway, we couldn't ufford to deliver, bundle and transport papers at so small a margin.” At the stand in the Rosemore Hotel, on Broadway, | peur Forty-second street, three cents was refused tor a copy of tho Hxmap. ‘1 sollas many as eve! the dealer, ‘‘at four cents each, and if pooy pay that price they can let ’em alone.
