‘ ———— BEFORE PLEVNA. Repulse of the Turkish Attack on the Russian Positions at Pelisat THE DEATH OF A BRAVE MAN Scenes Along the Road To and On the Battle Field. Porapix, Sept, I, 1877. At Teat, a Dattle before Plevna! Yesterday (Fri- éxy) the Turks, to the number of 20,000, attacked the Russians bere, and the result was u victory scored by We Muscevites, as truthiu! aud conscientious cor- respondent 1 am bound to admit that | only arrived Were im time to see a very brief part of the battle; for when itcommenced | was as the Grand Duke’s head- quarters at Gorney Studen. [ bad been here wajung for the expected wattle so long that at lust I got tired of waiting, and knowmg of the concentration of | swoops toward Tirnova and Selvi, I judged it my cuty to search for adventares and more interesting flelds | pf conflict olsowhere; for here iu Poradin, shut out from the world, we coald learn fittle or nothing of what was going on elsewhere, Trae, we learned something about the Shipka affair, but three days ago vhe general impression here was that the Turks had rather tho best of it im the end, That the Russians would not attack tho Plevna position for some time to come! was certain, and so I deter- mined to go to the Grand Dake’s neadquarters in order te ascertain something of what was taking place in otBer parts of Bulgaria. So [ teft om Thursday morning carly, arriving at Gorney Studen about seven om the evening of the same day, Headquarters soemed ike @ paradise compared with our old home in Pora- | dia, We found good restaurants and excellent camp- | ing grounds, and arcently wished we could have ihe former attached to our own train. RESTCUCK WANTS TO SURRENDER, Barly on Friday morning the entire camp was in a Bate of gentle exeitement, for the news had spread | bat « pariiamentaire trom Rustchuk had been brought | Into camp at early moruing with Lound eyes, aud that bis mission was to negotiate for the giving up of that | fortress in case the garrison were pormitted to with- | draw with all the honors of war. You will probably know long before this reaches you what the results of these negotiations were, At about one o’clock the parliamentaire left in the same way he came, with | Dound eyes, and conducted by a Rassian officer back toward Rustchuk, | “points”? FROM TUE GRAND DUKE. | Sdortly alter the excitement cansed by this episode bad subsided I went toward the Grand Duke’s head- quarters, ixtending to pay my respects to Colonel Hasen-Kampf, the officer who has charge of the cor- respondents attached to the army. Just as I was | passing tm the gateway I saw the Grand Duke and his son issuing therefrom, both ou horseback, The son kissed bis fetber as if in affectionate farewell, and tue | Grand Duke was riding away, attended by a few mem- | Ders of his staff, when an orderly rede up and banded | bim a telegram. He opened the message and read it, | wd turning round to where I with two ether corre- | wpondents wore standing, said in excellent English :— “Gentlemen, do you knew thata battle is going on deloro Plevna /”” i “No, Your Highness,”’ was the response. “It is near Poradin,’?he replicd, and rode away. I for ove was stuuned at the news, for [ bad only loft Poradin on the previous day, when all the armies seemed as if they would romain asleep tor years to come, THE EVILS OF INACTION.

These had beea killed late in the Aight, and | were comparatively weli preserved; those who had falicn a the midday heat haa become putrid belore sunset, emitting an anbeuragle stench, What flerce, fiendish oxprossions rested on the feature of most of the swarthy dead, who had mot their fateiuono of tne fierce struggles above Zyuiimea! Sigeuge, ono feels oa looking at such a horrid #& soarvely | anything of pity oF evew of horror simply a ghastly | curiosity compels you to go up and gaze at the hide- | 9s objects before you, and watch the myriads o/ ies | that have scented the carnage Geld fly in and out of and Gil the wide, gapimg mouta, which they Dave transformed into a miniature bive, aud oat at the fes- terimg wonnds from which the blood has oozed in | great red streams, As we stood there a fatigue party came upto do the 1st daties to the dead, ANRESTED. Perhaps it was because Mr, Sergeant thought we | were gazing upon the dead lurks with too much sym- | pathy, Atay rate, he porsistod ia arresting us, aud not being able to read the word “correspondent”? in- scribed on our armbands, or to understand the deep symbolism of our photographic passport, he got it into his bead, seeing us approach him trom the Plevna side, that we were Turks, or, as we heard him aftor- ward say to nis superior, “Englishmeo, who wero wandering about in a loose manuer on the battle | field.” Fortunately, we bad not iar to go to tho camp, | and the oflicious serguans received a good wigging from » superior ofllcer, and was the buit of avout a bundred soldiers who had gathered round tosee the fun, aud afterward tormented him uvmereitully for arresting us. Me, Sergeant, however, represeuts a large mass of the Russian soldiors, who | always attribute any advantages gained by the Turks | to the skill and officersbip of the English—a great | compliment to the latter no doubt, Alter leaving our | sergeant friend I paid 8 visit to General Pomerantrow, the commander of the Sixteenth division. His head quarters was in a pleasant house in Peljsat, which vil- lage bad scarcely been touched by shot or shell, 4 BIDK LIGHT. 1 will not close this lettor without montioning an | interesting little afair which uccurred on the day be- | fore the battle of Friday between the two squadrons of the Fourth hussar regiment of Marinpol and a reg- iment of Turkish Circassian cavalry. ‘Two squadrons of tho basears, under Lieutenant Coleme! Andrekyeff, were reconnoitring on the road between Pelisat and Radisovo, when they were informed by a Cossack picket of tbe approach of a body of 400 Turkish cavalry goimg from Radi- govo toward Pelisat at the same time they learned of the approuch of 150 more Circassians from Grivitza, with the eviaest intention of taking them on the right flank. Cossacks.were sent out to observe the enemy, and they returned with the iniormation that behind the cavalry they bad senn two buttalions of infantry and two cannon. A DANGEROUS SITUATION, The position of the Russian cavatry, amounting ia The first squadron, oecupying tbe right flank, wus de. spatcbed to observe the Turks approacning from the Grivitza side, while the second squadron was ordered to oppose those coming from the Radisovo, ‘The latter came on in a gallop, Oring a# they node, bat, although a ratu of bullets poared amid the httle Russian force, fortunately but littie damage was done. The husaars waited antil the Circassians were qa ite close, and then vheir second rapk opened fire, doing consicerable damage, Three troops of the bussars were then or- dered to charge, while the fourth, under the command Cornet lvanof, was semt to attack the right flank, Cornet Ivanoff won the borors of the day, fighting, as his brother officers ex.prossed it, “ike a hero,’’ Taking his hanaful of men, shouting to them to | follow, he charged :mto the right flank, causing it to waver and throw tho entire fonce into confusion. | Cornet Ivanoff bimseif severed the hoad of a Turkish tion o! Plevna, threateningly, but siieut; bad watched | tbe Cossacks and Circassians and soldiers take the | horses down to water at early morning and at dusk ; | oad listened to the bands of music playing from sunrise | Almost to sunset, aud fancied at last that this state of | thiogs would last forcver. It might bave lasted tong, indeed bad not the Turks chosen to take the offensive | as is just now their wont, but they did choose, as it appened, unfortunately for them. Imagine, if you | tan, the mental state of a correspondent who had lett 4D important position only twenty-four hours, hearing that a batile was raging there at the very moment he was away, possessed of horses that had made forty- five miles the day before, one riding horse lame, a. | other ready for tho grave, and three small Wal- | Jacbian borses so tired as to be worthless, Fore tunately for me one of my tellow corre- spondents’ wagons was broken down, and I | Immediately proposed to put his two horses before mine, put my driver on one of the loaders as pos- | }lion and hig own as driver-in-chief Lightening my pwn wagon of all superfluous baggage aad attaching | the riding horses behiod, we were ready in belf an | our to start, A Russian correspondent had in the | meantime joined our party, and also Mr. Villiers, the | artist of the Graphic, both ou horseback, and shortly before two o’ciock our cavalcade dushed away, tothe great surprise of the entire camp, CHANGES OF 4 DAY. Shortly before reaching Bulgareni we passed | Wrongh the valley dowa which rushed the Russian stampede after the last battle of Plevna and where only the day before we had seen a regiment marching | heavily laden ucder the burning, dreadiul sun, We had seen two soldiers tall down, stricken by the heat. To-day two Iiltie wooden crosses marked tieir last resting places, Beyond Bulgaren|, ten miles from Poradin, we met long trains of ox wagous filled with peasanis—men, women and children—fleeing from their homes in the villages where the coaflict was going on. Some, wo learned, were from Po.isat, others from Zyulivca and others from Poradin They told us the usual storics ot horrors and miseries, Which I afterward found were zreatly exaggerated. EXAGGRRATRD TALES OF WOE, Wo heard, for instance, that the village of Pelisat haa | been set on fire by the Turks. Wo found to-day that only a sivgto house had been burned, and that only a few sbelis bad reached the place, wo young boys of Zyulinca told us how they had been driving horses round the threshing floor when the battie commenced, wherevpon they nad fled, loaving the horses still going their perpetual rounds. One would have imazined, bearing these stories, that the entire district beiore Poradin had become ina few hours a dreary aesoia- tion, What scenes we imagined were in store tor us; Had we not seen two days before, in Poradin aloue, as many as adozen threshing floors oveupied in the primitive manner of the Romans—tud seen the peasant men and women winnowing the results of their abundant harvest in that equaly primitive Manner by casting the wheat high om tho air and letting the wind do the work of sifting and carrying off the chaff? And now this preture of peace. which oad flourished amid the surroundings of war, bad been ruthlessly destroyed, and we were to fod only deserted villages, smoking and rained homesteads and deaih, we found nothing of all this, and although the peasanis had ip muny cases fled the villages stood Just as they wore belore. AMKIVAL AT PORADIN, Wo arrived at Poradin shortly after six, and alter riding Out to Pelisatcame im time to see thie an cavalry returuiug from « fruitless pursat H rk tus We had made the distance iorty-five inioe, over Meep, mowutainous aad vad roads—in es. Luan ix hours, and though wo ielt regret at not having viewed the Dattie, the excitement of the jourucy quite repaid us personally for that loss. We were comiorted, too, in Knowing, immediately aftor our arrival on the battle Heid, that the vaitie nad simply veen a recon. hoissavce on a large scale—veing, in fact, an attempt on the part of (he Lurks to ascertain the strength of the Russian torces, On the Turkish side about twenty Vhousand iniantry and two thousand cavuiry took part An equal if not larger number was employed by =the Russians in repulsing the = attack. The result was, as I bave | already told you by wire, a decided victory for tne Rossians, the Turks having been compelled at the close to retreat, That the Russians in their pursuit, however, failed to overtake (he Turks, shows that the Torkigh retroat was a thoroughly orderly one. ihe Turks fost in killed aud Wounded during the day about two thousand mou, The Russians, ovcupying good positions, suffered much: iese, alinough | um unadie to pivo you even an estimate. ON THE BATTLE Frutos, ‘Though I rode over the bathe fields at nine o'clock l may as well gay at once, however, that | officer from its trunk. A WRKO’S DEATH. There was a private soidior bummed GardiefN who won fame ana death in a heroic manner. He was un old soldier, but had not long ago faliem into disgrace. He had received severo punishment for ‘disorderly con- duct, and on being permitted to resumo his place in tho ranks the commander of nis squadron had said to Lim :—"Gardief, you had better get yourself killed, or do scmething now that will make us forget your past follies.” ‘The brave follow was seen to dash wildly wmv tho fight; slasbing right and loft, he killed with his own hana fourot the Turks within five minutes, when be was surrounded and wterally hewn and | | d_ pendence, ell to Virginiwin the person of Lhomus » eder- hacked to pieces It was the intention of his regiment to give the body & ceremonial burial on the fellowing day, but the battle prevented this being carried out, aud brave Gardief was com- mitted to the earth among the ordinary dead. The fight was quickly over, The Turks fled, leaving seventy of their number dead on the field and many wounded. The Russians lost tour borses, three men weunded and one (Gardieff) killed. The other Circassians com- ing from Grivitza, met by the first squadron, were algo compelled to retire. Altogether it was a very gailant little affair, and the hussars of Marispol have gained honor and many crosses. MAKING ROOM FOR ROYALTY, Just as I am about to close this letter an officer comes to iniorm us that we must givo up our present quarters to make room for Prince Ubaries of Rouma- pia, who has now been made commander-in-chiet of the entire Russo-Roumanian army before Plevna. This arrangement is by no means palatable to the Russians bere. General Zortoif is to be tne Prince’s chief oj staff. Theappointment of Prince Charles 1s naturally an affair of courtesy, for the reason that it is impossible, according to the laws of nature, for a ruling princo to receive orders from ordinary mortal general; but the new commander's infuence will, of | course, be purely nominal. General Zortof and his chief, Colonel Novitzsky, will stil retain the execu- | tive command. The Roumanian divisioas now occupy an positions on the Russian right, with their base on | Nicopoi's. AT NICOPOLIS. s nov, L way add, beginning to as. its former picturesqueness of life ‘The latter city ' pume something | aud costume. ago I found many of the inhabitants, Turks as well as | Coristians, had returned to their homes, The coftee and Wine booths are open and tables stand before the | door inviting the taveller to rest and re. | freshment Though the Roumanians form the garrison of the town the Russian naval office have control of the bridge pontoons, which are trangported from oue ebore to the other by means of tugs. To Colonel Rovossiisky, who has charge of the Turnu-Magureli suore end of the ferry, 1 am indebted for many kindnesses. He has also command of the two monitors captured at the taking | of Nicopolis, These two vessels are now anchored in } mid stream, and having undergone thorough repairs | | ure quite ready for active service. THE GRAND DUKE AvExts, The Grand Duke Alexis has been staying at Tornu- Magureli for the jast five or ex days, and it is pos. | sible that he may have some intention of taking charge of one of the boats, His beautiful steam yacht les at anchor close beside the shore. furnu-Magureli has | quive a forlorn appearance now that it bas tost its complement of Roumanian officers who used to orn ment (ue tables at the various cafés aud beer gardens of the place.

HUNTING ON LONG ISLAND. The proposed huntipg meeting at East Meadow Brook, Long Island, early in October, Is attracting considerm ble attention, and the enterprise is being discussed freely, trom tho fact that several of the gontiemen who are Interested in the movement are members of the Westchester Polo Club. It is proposed to run 8 drag twice a week over a country well adapted to the pur. pose, and from present indications the enterprise will be a success. There are many obstacles to contend against, but the gentiemon having the matter in hapd are confident that their labors will be crowned with ‘succosa, The committee consists of Mr. Robert Center, Mr, F. Gray Griswold, Mr. William E. Peot and Mr. A. Bel- mont Purdy, aud they have been very successiul io raising the necessary funds, and they anticipate a very enjoyable scason’s sport with Mr. Griswold’s newly imported pack of hounds, waich are of excollent breed aud which, during their morning exercise, have shown all the tenacity of fine breeding and good tuition, an- swerlog promptly the sound of the born and the huutsman’s halloo and are good in casting, which so few mea im this country understand, for 1% must be an experienced hound to make ® good cast, and the huntsman for the proposed meeting, Mr, Griswold, wants to kuow his hounds pretty well so that the Orst music givon is tho right bound to trust to, and the ones which bave veen imported from Ireland bid fair to show the boys Jots ef running over the glorious Long Island downs, The proposed tut was just sugested during Don. wbue’s season at Hackensack by Mr A, B, Purdy, Mr. F. G. Griswold, Mr, Classon, Mr, Payson, Mr, C. N. Scott aud others, and {rom that day until the pros. ent those gentiemen have been convinced that a suc- cosstul season’s sport could be maintained, and they havo worked with thigenain view, no little credit being due ior the present outlook tothe gentlemen who comprise the committes, The country at Hack. ensack, they claim, is too hard to ride over, for ona could hardly get over one four-mortised rail fence be- tore another would present itself to view as bigh ag the old Euglish five-barred gate, until a horse wanted steam power to carry his rider a straight three miles. In speaking of this ground a gentleman who is in- terested in the movement, said last evoving that he would like to see such men as Jack Harkaway, Lord Henry Bentinck, Captain White, Jack Paulett, sir Thomas Wischott, old Parson Howson, Thomas Oliver, James Mason, Frank Gordov, Alexander Goodwin, Thomas Percival and others ride over the Hackensack country, as it would have tried the motile of the gamest of them, ‘Pho newly imported hounds will be kept up by no private geutieman, a8 18 usuaily the case in England, but they will be a subscription pack entirely and tor | thedovers of true sport, Quite a number of gentle- mep bave subscribed hberaliy, but it will ve found necessary to solicit additional subscriptions The members of the Polo Club, o/ course, will be largely represented at the meeting, the buntsman, Mr. Gris- wold, being one of the most energetic membora, Several of the Long Island farmers have contributed to the pack and have promised the committee not only their assistance in getting things into working order, but bave promised to join im the fun and to throw open their gates to the gallant hunters, The committee wish it to be understood that all are welcome on the “cover” side It is understood that there will be sattabie stables and everything ar- ranged for gentlemen who desire to send their hunt- ers ior the entire season, ‘The sport is one of the most manly in existence, simply trom one standpoint —viz., that no gentiomas, is required to ride jtraight as the “crow files,” as he caa suit himself and see lots of fua without by “pottering”? about and “chopping” in at different points, and, like all bunting fleids, there will be lowe of stragglers about, and who will return home per- fectly satisfied, have their bath, sit down to a good dinuer, take their vottle of wine and tell their sisters and friends how bravely old Reynard taced the open, when in reality mot one-balf of the field will be likely to catch @ glimpse of bis brush, Mr. Griswold’s friends wish him success in the en- terprise, and (bey consider that the good horseman. ship which he bas shown with Mr, Donabue’s hounds is a fair guarantee for his mustersbipof the pack which he bas {unported, It is proposed to have two meetings a year—viz., one in the spring and the other in the fall, and, should the enterprise prove successful a club house will be built aud it will be made a permanent pastime. The matter {3 now one of tho leadmg topics of conversa. tion at tho clubs.
