The Turkish newspapers in Constantinople pub- lish @ report that Osman Pacha has defeated the Roumanians belore Plevna. ‘The Times’ Bucharest despatch, dated Sunday, #aya:—“The report current in Bucharest yeaturday that the allied armies had again been repulsed tn @D assault upon Plevna, is confounded.” THE REPROVISIONING OP PLEVNA. .4 correspondent with General Krelof, who com- Mmands the force which is endeavoring to prevent the revictualment of Plevna, says:—"The first Turkish convoy which entered Plevna consisted of 2,000 wagons. General Kreloff attempted to hold the road ata point so near Plevna that Osman Pacha was able to send a force which attacked him In the rear and obliged him to withdraw and leave the road open." THE TURES BLUDE THEM. “Upon retiring, General Krelotf left two regi- ments of Coasacks at Etropol to watch the Sofla Toad. Another convoy coming from @ road, un- known to the Russians, running along the Sofla road, slipped through the fingers of this detacn- Ment on Monday, aud was under the guns of Plevna before the Russians could attack it.” ANOTHER ATTEMPT DEFEATED, A second Turkish convoy for Plevna has returned to Orkani, the Roumanian cavalry having captured eight wagons of grain, MUST BE TAKEN BY SIEGE. A Bucharest special says :—“General Toddleben's opinion of the situation at Plevna has been iald betore the Grand Duke Nicholas. It is understood to declare that siege operations on a most ex- tended scale are requisite tor the capture of the place.” ROUMANIANS BETTER THAN RUSSIANS. A despatch dated Verbica, Wednesday, says that the Roumanians mean to push their trenches to within thirty yards of the second Grivica redoubt before beginning an assault They are just commencing their fourth and final Parallel. The rain is continuous and the mud in the trenches fearful. ‘The weather is also very cold, but oficers and men stick to their posts with pluck and resolution. NO PLAN; NO HEAD. The correspondent thinks the Roumanians are fure to carry the redoubt, and says were the Tussiang advancing a3 rapidly on ther side Plevna would fall belore @ fortnight; but the Russians seem completely at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no head. They are Waiting for reinforcements, which are arriving slowly and which when ali here will hardly more than cover their losses by battle and sickness dur- Ing the last two months, “I think history offers no such example of a splendid army in such an ut- terly helpless condition.” ADVANCE OF THE OUTPOSTS, A Shumla despatch dated Saturday says the Russian outposts have advanced from Cerkodna to Popkol and have there begun a skirmish with the Turks. OSMAN'S RECENT LOSSES, A correspondent with the Turkish army tele- graphs from Plevna that Osman Pacha’s losses from the Russian cannonade were exceedingly light; that on the day when he retook the redoubts on the Sottcha road he lost 3,000 men, There are now (September 23) only 1,900 wounded at Plevna.

Several of the Indian chiefs attunded the Foundry Methodist Church to-day, as they were told that it was the church the Great Father worshipped tp, TALK WITH THR INDIANS. ‘The Hxxaup correspondent had quite a lengthy walk with the chiefs and their confidential interproter, Bouchet, during the afternoon. They are not at all Pleased with the idea of being forced on the Missouri River thie gwinter, smd they say outright thoy will not go thero, as it issickly, and they lost qu! number of their chiliren when they were there be- fore. Besides, thore whiskoy is traded to them by the white mon and a jot of Indians that do not belong to their people, and thoy lose their stock there, They want to goon the White River, They say that the Groat Father, tf he meapa what he says when he tells them that ho is their friend, couid jast as well lot the lands be selected by them and for them for & permanent home now ag to wait for the spring. They say if they are to go to farme and cul- tivate the soil fora living for themselves and their cnildron it will not do to wait till the spring, as by that time they would want to have their lands sown. REQUMBTS TO BE MADE. The following ure some of the requests they say they intend to make of the Great Father when they seo him to-morrow:—They want cach head of a family’ to have # lot, say tem or twonty acres; they’ want it surveyed aud fenced in by the government, aud they want a permanent ttle to 1t, the same as the whites Have to their lunds, secured by @ Innd patent; they want to be authorized by the Great Father to have a police force amoung themselves, chosen by the chiefs, so a8 to assist 1p maiutaining order and pun- ishing all those who break ether the customs of the Indians or laws of the government; they want some Wagons, as wagons are great civillzors among the In- dians; and what they specially want ts the privilege ot hauling their goods to the agency in thor own ‘wagons and be paid for their labor, instead of paying tho big prices to contractors, They don’t see any justice in the contractors getting the money from the government for hauling their own stuif, which they arc able, with the assistance of wagons, to do for themsel they want the government to build them schools where’ thelr children can be edu- cated; they want a few churches; they complain sadly about the present system of trading with them; they want to let the half breeds and white men gener ally trade with them and not have a special trader, as pow, By having many porsons trading with them they of course expect to reap the advantages of compe- tition, the traders im no case to sell them anything that ts proibited by law for them to havo, THE DESIRKD LOCATION, After a long conversation tho interpreter said they bad come to the conclusion to ask tho Groat Father to-morrow to let thom be located permanently on the White River. Tney had seon the Crow lands in the ladian country and did not like them. The piace where they willing ana wish to go and whore there ts plenty of land for ul! of them, 1s about one hundred and Atty miles from the Missour: River. Tho location is Known as Big White Clay, Wanted Knoe, Porcupine and Eagie’s Nest, where they say they can live and make good subsistence for themselves and thoir children forever, [tis this moving them about from place to place which irritates them and discour- ages them from trying to follow the ways of civilized life. They are golog to ask the Great Father to Ict them have some few practical farmors, white men, tu teach them farming and how to uso all the modern tn- ventions to facilitate them in cultivating the soil. They want theso tarmors, besides the agents; they also want @ blacksmith, so as to teach them how to mend their wagons and ploughs and otber farming implements when they are out of repair, With these requests granted they will give up all right, title and everything they bave to the Black Hills, and all other places over which they claim possessory right. They gay this can all be dono thls fall before the winter sets in, so that next spring they can put in their sced for crops, This 1s, in effect, tho protest and petition they will make to the President to-morrow morning, ‘The chief Spotted Tail sald to-day that he wants to make this bis last visit here. Ho wants the thing satisfactorily and permanently settled, and be doesn’t wish to leave Washington till i$ 13 settled satisfac torily, If it takes all winter. RVPECT ON SITTING NULL, When the interpreter was asked whut effect, if any, this arrangement, if carried out, would have on sit- ting Bull and the othor hostiles he said:— “It Sitting Bull, who bas never signed any treaty with the government and never will, was to hear and know that the governinent had done these things, I bel! he would ‘at ouce come in and join the rest of the Sioux nation.’’ SITTING BULL'S FORCE. In reply to questions about Sitting Bull, the follow- ing was stated by Bouchet, tho interpreter, wno has lived twenty or thirty years with theso [udians:— “Sitting Ball has, of bis own people, about three hundred warriors and no more, Ho has also with him some Santeos, Yauctouais, Blackfeet and Miniconjons and a few of the Ogallalias, numbering, all told, with his own braves, about one thousand and no more” * Bouchet does not believe that the Nez Perces Ciiet Joseph will Jorn Sitting Bull and bis band, Siting Bull aud bis band stand tn about the same relation to the Sioux that Joseph does to the Nez Perces. Ho says that the commission sent up to Canada ‘wil bea failure, but if the government will do by the chiefs now here What 18 outlined above ho will hear of 1t much quicker tban {s eupposed, Sitting Ball and his band cannot stop in the British possessions this winter, but will come back to their old homes, and if necessary will seok shelter and protection on what is known ag the Bad Lands. Mr, Bouchet further says there is one way, and only one way, to get Sitting Bull and the bos. tiles in to scttie permanently on a reservation, and when the government has tried all its projects and Propositions and failed, then Bouchet proposes to submit hig plan aod, tf adopsed, bo expects to be liberally paid if he succeeds. tle and about ove hundred Sioux lave been out and collected all the Sioux on the resorvation. It took him soventy days. THE NEZ PERCES, INTERESTING DETAILS OF HOWARD'S PURSUIT OF THE HOSTILES—A NARROW BUT EFFECTIVE KSCAPE—SIORY OF STURGIS’ LAST FIGHT IN A CANYON. Camp Hutton, Yautowstone River, Near Mourn oF CLank’s Fork, Sept. 16, 13) Irwin, the discharged suldier, who was captured by the Indians and who escaped to our camp, piloted us down the Yollowstono in order té head olf the hostiles, ond saved our men a march of at least eighty miles. On arriving at Barronet’s bridge we found the Indians bad beoo there before a: a4 burned the “string if which necessitated a consiterable delay on our part. While hero some winers brought us tho news that a scouting party of Nez Poreés bad been down the Yellowstone to Mammoth Springs, ransacking a froutiersman supply camp, burning Henderson's rancho and killing a friendly California Indian who was scouting for General Sturgis, Major Gilbort ar- rived soon after the trouble, but fearing tho Indians were in full force not far off, did not pursue them, but tooolishly made a wide circuit through an almost inuccessible stretch of country entirely devoid of la- dians, seventy-five miles to our rear, to join us un- necessarily in a stern chase—and he is still chasing us. From Barronet’s bridge we went to the mouth of Soda Butte Cunyon, and hero lett tho Indian trail ia | year. NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OU’ UBER 1, 1877.—TRIPLE Order to wake a short cut, Jeaving our scouts to follow it, This canyon ts une of the grandest avenues in this Section, Towering wountains, with ragged summits that lift their beads above the clouds and form gigantic walls on each side; @ beautiful trout stream tows through the pass, at the banks of which were deer Gud bear, aud the bristiing pines climbing bigh up the rocky incline on oitber side made it one of the Suvlimest spots | have ever ted. General Howard rightly thought the name of Sods Butte Canyon too un- pretentious for such an imposing place, aud named is Joslyn Canyon, afier a captain in the Tweuty-iirss ip- faniry, @ young man entirely deserving the honor, but { doubs if the froutersmen of future mapmakers will indorse tue innova ton Two the peaks of thie paraliel raugo are Pilot Knob and lodex Mouatain, made ta. mous by the boid brush of the artistic Moran. Branching off bere w Galena Smelting Works, we begav to cut our way through Clark's Fork to- wurd Crandall Creek, tor which place the hostiles were Supposed to be making with all possibl Lewy “cut our way,” vecause there are no trails here, aud the timber is almost as dense us the grass on Camas Prairie. WAITING TO CUT OVF TH INDIANS. We wore here met by three scouts irom Genoral Sturgis convoying nows to the miners at the smelting furnace of the proximity of the Nez Percés, who i Jormed us that Custer’s old regiments, the Seventh cavalry, was in the viciaity of Heart Mountain, on tho const side of the greut divide, wasting forthe exit Of the Indiaus from the mouutains to the bullalo plains, ‘Chis was very encouraging, and two of the men were gent back that very night to General Sturgis to intorm him of our position wud the probability of our being able tu drive the Indians upon lim the pext day or the day alter. -Unfortunutely the couriers did not reach Sturgis, and as be bad but tn- competent guides they told bim the Indtans could not he r on the very t natural burrier down to the long-sought buflalo plains, Notwithstanding the death of many of our horses from sheer exhaustion undstbe fatigued state of our overworked infantry, wo kept steadily pursuing the murderers. On striking the plains oear Hoart Mountain we found und buried the vodies of eight nev, most of whom wered returned Black Hills mivers of Scandinavian birth, who baa been murdered and robbed by the bostiles, 'but not scalped, MEETING WITH STURGIS, We had travelled hardly ten miles over the plaing when Sturgis, with the Seventh cavalry, was seen making ail uaste to overtake us. He was amazed to Gnd us, thinking wo were still in the wouutains, and so bitterly chagrined at the escape of the Indians from one of the best laid traps of uature aod man, that he exclaimed ‘Poor as Lam f would give $1,000 if 1 nad not left this place,’? General Howard and he then wont into consultation, and as the Seveuth cavalry horses were com. paratively = ire arranged that General Sturgis shoul own commant, acco: pauied, by Colonel Sandford, with Cuptuin Bondir company First Cavalry, Licutenant Otis, with battery, ana Li nant Fleicher iu charge of white and ludian scouts, 8 with all possible speed, Ariving Clurk’s Fork 1t was found the Indivns had purned the stage stations Fauches ou the Yoliowstone, the omployéa tortu: escaping. UP WITH THR INDIANS, About nine miles north of here, Sturgis, on the inst, came upon the entire Indiau camp tn a water valley surrounded by pointed bills that ran out into the opening like promontories muki any aud precip itous caflons. Wheu first attacked the bostiles whero scattered along the bills, with their stock in tho bed of a dry creek, the high tanksof which afford- ed shelter from our riflemen and the high winds, ‘The warriors were not long in sculing such of the hoights as commanded the cafons, and while the squaws were driving the stock between tho walis of the dry creek ubove referred to, these brave and excellent marksmen held our men at bay. An attempt wag made to hem the hostiles in by taking Possession of tno reur end of the cafion with a how- Azer, but, as the heights were all so steep, it was found Impossible to drug the gun up, and the plan had ‘to be abandoned and the [udians escaped, THK KILLED AND WOUNDED. In this Little ight we lost but turce men killed and seven or eight wounded, The Indians ure known to havo lost six killed, besides mauy horses run off by the Crows. At the presont writing Sibrgis is still chasing the Indians, they being considerably in his advance. He sends us word he bas cuptured 600 horses, but as lis rations have not yet arrived he has been torced to Jive on mule moat tor the past two days We ure now going by the way of the Yellowstone to the Muswel- shell in the hope of beading off the hostiles, who are known to be making for that stream. The remnant of sho Nez Perces {3 endeavoring to make a juuction with Sitting Bull, and should be succeed, General Howard, of course, will return to bis own department. REMOVING INDIAN CHAPLAINS, To rug Epiror ov tax Heratp:— The Hexa.y through its commissioners has exposed many frauds of tong stunding and thereby helped to squelch them, The exposé of the post-tradership was entirely due tothe Hukaup. It 1s evident to all read- ers of the duily Journals that the Indians have griev- ances that cause such unanimity among them in opposition to the whites. The writer of this believes that it has in a great part eveutuated from the act of the last administration in removing the Catholic chap- d replacing them with Methodist ministers, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph und Red Cioud have asked to have them returned to their respective agencies, Tbe HyraLp a few days since stated that arising is threatened by another tribe on account of the super. sediug of u Catholic missionury by a Mr, Stokes, und the indians veing told there was no use tu the:r oppos- tng the change, as Bishop Whipple was all powerlul with the administration, Will the HeraLp appoint one of its fearless corre- spondents to visit the Indians and the missionaries of alinccts and be ready to lay tho subject before Con- gress or its action, as it did in the post-tradership seundal? Ono of the Catholic missionarics to the Nez Percés, Rev. Father Ravelie, 0. P., is now at tho Dominican Chureh, Washington, D.

Heartiness of —_.___-- Giascow, Sept, 18, 1877, » The reception of General Grant im Scotland has bees marvellous!y boarty and contiuuously enthusiastia One would think that the people would ually tire of giving these receptions cach within a fow miles of the last, or that tho interest would lag, but it seoms that the general interest created at each reception only Serves to intensily the eathusiasm at the next, There bas not been « day since the Genera! came to Scotland to which he has not been overwhelmed wita kindaesses, Indeed, the labor of the thing has begun to show itself upon him, He got along very well whilo General Badeau was with him, but Badeau aod Jesse Grant have both left him, and his correspondence, which amounts by each morning mail to Ofty or sixty letters, imposes a severe task upon bim, whenever be is a moment tree trom Sight-seoing and the attentions of his hosts, The Genoral’s daily round 1s to pray balf an hour, break- fast an bour, be madoa burgess or go sight-secing three or tour hours, lunch half aa hour, go sight-sce- ing again, drive from one to Give hours, or after din- her spend tho evening with invited guests of “His Lordship,” the host, All over Scotland it is con- sidered the correct thing to be very religious and to invite all your friends to see your guest, and of course visitors must do as the Scotsmen do in the matter of praying. Fortunately tor the looks of the thing, General Grant has already been accustomed to Praying, and does ii gracefully. SCOTCH SYMPATHY WITH THE NORTH. ‘The enthusiasm of tue Scotch people and the great attention shown to General Grant havo a double sig- nificance. These people up hero symputhized with the North during the civil war and always rejoiced when Grant or his generals won o victory, They bavo been curious to ece the great man they have talked so much about, and take great pride in the fact that he is of Scotch descont, Hence the magnificent ovations at Edinburgh, Dundee, Melrose, Ayr, Glas- gow, the Trossachs and all the placcs at which ho has stopped, ‘Tho fiuest and most enthusiastic reception was Given at Glasgow. An immense hall, accommodating several thousand persons, was, all but placos for 400 Specially Invited gucsts, throwa open-to the public, ‘The cheering was so general and coutinuous that tho ceremonies could only with difficulty be heard, At night the grand banquet at Corpora- tion Hall was a splendid affair, ombracing in tho menu the viands and wines that make the best dinner Scotland could furnish, in tropical dell- eacics were in profusion, and the wines were excep- tionally fine acd in great varioty. Several toasts wero givon, and specchos followed up to eleven o'clock. At this banquet the Lord Provost announced that thero wore no reporters present, and tho editors there were expected to let the speeches pass without com- mont, in order that everybody could tec! perfectly freo in speaking, General Grant, on this account probably, mado the longest specch oi bis life, and the Lord Provost wus finally, at the end of the feast, per- euaded to yield bis position against newspaper enterprise, The speech of General Grant was brought about by @ apecch of Mr. Anderson, M. P., of Glasgow, wherein be charged, turning to General Grant, that the United States had gained a victory over Great Britain in the creation of the Ge- neva arbitration. However, be said, Groat Britain bad agroed to the Washington treaty, and while dis- Appointed with the result at Geneva, had stood man- fully by it Im view of this, and the tact that the United States had completed the distribution of the award and had some $8,000,000 left alter all claims had been satisfled, be would be pleased to seo the government return that amount tn the interests of coneord and thorough amity. This was said ina half earnest, half joking way, but was met with ‘hear, hear,’’ all along the tables, GRANT IX VAVOR OP ARBITRATION, General Grant in reply said that oe hud a great deal to do with the bogotiations concerning the Washington treaty, and that he had always folt that our government had yielded too much to Great Britain in tho mattcr, He was determined, however, from the first, that, if possible, the experiment of peacetul arbitration should prevail, It was bis ambition to live to see all national digputos settied iu this way. “Lam called a man of war,” said he, “but I never was a man of war, ‘Tuough I entered the army at an carly age, { got out of it whenever I tound a chance to do so ereditably. 1 was always @ man of peace, and { shull alwayscontinue of that mind, Though { may not live to see the gen- eral settioment of national disputes by arbitration, it will not 0 vory many years before that system of sot- tlement will be adopted, ana the immense standing armies that are depressing Europe by their great ex- pense will be disbanded, and the arts of war almost forgotten in the general devotion of the people to the development of peaceful tudustries, I want tosec, and | I believe 1 will, Great Britain, the United States | and Canada, Joined with common purpose in the ad- j' Vance of civilization, an invincible community of English speaking nations that all the world beside could pot conquer.” The Genoral went on in this vern for some time, aud Onally again touchea the Ala- bama claims question, Ho d:—"There was oac point in connection with that matter that 1 was giad we ylelded—that wag the indireet damage ciaim. 1 was ulwdys opposed to It, because 1 feared the future consequences of such a demand. In any future arbi- tration wo would have been placed at a great disaty tage by its allowance, Alter that was settled we made our other demands, you made yours. It was a jong time bvelore the Jomt Hign Commis. sion came togethor, but each side yielded here @ bit ana there a bit, until abouts as good a treaty as wo could expect to get was completed. Mr, Andersou Says many of the people of Groat Britain believe we got the best of the bargain. | can assuro you that we did not come out of the discussion as much benciited as we should have been, our people were quite incensed and fought the contr mation of the treaty, claiming that its terms wero not broad enough to cover the lossos of local interests, but avery large majority determined to stand by 1 in the interests of peace and manly dealing with friendo, We yielued more than we intended to yield, but had | got so lar into the business of doing what we advocated that nine-tenths of our people had no desire to re- cede, Wo did not want war, or even @ new arbitra. tion, We had been satisded with the former, aad the latter meant delay, We wanted the question seitiod peacelully, at ouce and forever, THN ALABAMA SURPLUS, “As to the $3,000,000 surplus, Mr, Anderson men- the tons, 1 will expiam that brielly, Afior $15,600,000, awarded at Geneva, was paid by U Britain the matter of its distribution was presented to Congress. It became necessary to distribute it under the terms of the treaty, and it was found thatit the insur. ance companies which bad received war premiums were admitted to participation in the sum it would not be Jargo enough to go uround, ties were oxcluded, Congress will legislate further in tho matter, and the money will be distributed to rightful claimants, #0 that it will not be necessary to discuss the question of returatng it to Great Britain,”’ ‘Tue General explained tho workings of the system of distributing the money, details of fact that are familiar to ail Amoricans. I cannot reproduce his speech in full, because lead pencils and note books were prohibited. But the above, with expressive re- marks touching his magailicent receptions in Seotiand, and the reuewed expressions of good fooling between Great Britaia and the United States, is his specoh in carolully prepared substance, At the ond of it the “ entire party, of perbaps two huodred persons, ee. applauded to the echo, and in this applause Mr Andersou was of the most ardent participants TUS VAGAKING OF GEORGE W.LILAM CURTIS. General Grant ts quite provoked ut the attack of George Wilitam Curtis in Marper’s Magazine upon the Prince of Wales, for treating the General with disrespect atadinner. Tho folowing is the paragrapb be especially objects ta:— {1 ine manners are uaturally associated with rank, the supposition woula be that the bigher the rank the Gver the manners. It would then foliow that the gucst of bouor, Who was also tho stranger, would take precedence of wll others. It ts therelore bewtidering to learn tbat when the Priace of Wales recently gave @ dinner to Geaeral Grant, the distiogaimucd guess brought up the rear of the procession to the dining room. We are but boors ip etiquette; yet if the Prince of Wales had been the guest of bouor to the President of the Cotted States be would not haye been permitted to close the march to dinner; and he would bave ceded uot as Prince, but us guest; for it woak equally trae of untitied Mr. Bright or Mr. Giadstoue as uf aVrinee, Courtesy ts a poor thing if it cannot dispense, upon due occasion, with the rigidity of cere. moutal forms. Lt is rumored that the American Mini® tor in Eogiand wae jong absorbed ip the task of ar ranging Gouera) Grant’s invitations, so that be should bot be apparently insulted by being treated at enter. tainmeuts given io his honor with less cousideration than aoy ober guest. This is bardly crodible ta @b avsopbisticated Americau, because he canuot comprehend either that an English geotieman should oiler or an American gentleman accept such # situa tion, The ries of really good society, whether titicd or untitled, ure everywhore the same in regard to cer. tain essential points, und itis @ pity if they are vio Jated in the house of a prince. To invite an untitied man into @ titled company, upon an occasion of pure coremony, Where tities cetermine precedence, ts to in- Vite him to go behind. Ifa prince gives a dinner in bonor of an untitled guest he ie bound to bonor him enielly, and he invites the com pear merely to holp him render the honor. If, therefore, 1t be true thas the Prince of Wales gave a dinner especially to Gen- eral Grant aod permitted the greater part of the com- pany to precede him to the table, Genoral Grant should quictly bave left the bouse, and all the more if, as ia constantly said, otiquette and forms are real things to European society. For, if that be so, the siguiticance of the situation was that an American without a ttle, Lowever illuatrious, however honored at home, an the especial guest of the occusion, is not to be racog- nized as the equal of titied people. Probably, if the story be true, General Grant was not troubled; bui if Ubo English gentiomen are required by etiquette to ac- quiosce in so flagrant a discourtesy they are greatly to be pitied. Now the fact is that Mr Curtis’ premises are utterly wrong. The Prince of Wales treated Gen Grant and Mra Grant with especial courtesy, The dinner mentioned wag given not to General Grant nor was he ao element in it, except that, happening in Loudon at the time, he was an invited guest’ The dinner was given to the Emperor and Empress of Brazil.
