This practice, says the post master, has caused a serious falling off of the receipts of the Charleston post- office. Many wholesale merchants who formerly made large purchases of stamps from this omce, are now being supplied by their country customers, who obtain them from the postmasters in their vicinity, at reduced rates, in order to increase their sales, and thereby their compensation.

Grand Duke Nicholas will not Act Until He is Reinforced. , Rumors of Cholera in the Bus Persecution of Christians. Atrocities of the Bushi Bazouks and the Bulgarians. London, August 13. The Standard's Bucharest correspondent telegraphs : An eminent personage here says that he had an interview with Grand Duke Nicholas Thursday. The latter admit ted that the troops were somewhat de moralized, and said there was no pro bability of the resumption of operations for three weeks, when he would have received reinforcements of one hun dred thousand men." The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard says that it is rumored that cholera has appeared in the Rus sian camps. The Daily News' correspondent at Sistova concludes his statement of the situation on Saturday : "It seems 1 1 . 1 . "w-x m aouDiiui wnetner the Baucau passe will continue to be held by the Rus sians. .Light thousand starving Bul garian refugees are in Selvi. The weather to-day has broken. There are heavy and continuous rains. The na- tives say that wet weather may be ex pected for a fortnight at this season, which must greatly conduce to spread sickness in the army." The Ifews Vienna correspondent telegraphs: "Advices from Athens state that the departure of "troops to the frontier continues amid much en thusiasm. The King will hold a re view near the frontier at Lamia. Two Prussian generals have been invited to take command but declined." The Times' occasional correspondent at Vienna speaks very positively rela tive to Servia's non-intervention in the immediate future. The Times' Constantinople corres pondent telegraphs via Syra, as fol lows : "lhe civil war of extermina tion is being Carried on at present at Esba Shagra. - - All the male Christian native population have been sentenced by the Turkish general. This news has been brought by two American missionaries, who were protected by their Turkish friends. They lost every thing they possessed. This news is also confirmed by consular dispatches. Every male Bulgarian is accused of being either spy or open enemy, Ka ra Hunar is . crowded with fugitives. Only one is well in the place, -There are 16,000 troops th ere. The wounded, sick and fugitives are perishing from thirst." . The Constantinople correspondent of tbe Times telegraphs by way of Syra as follows : It is stated on good au thority that Musuras Pasha, Turkish ambassador at London,- recently Wrote that he had reason to believe that the British Government would shortly a8K autnonzauon xor a neet to enter i .i x -f n . ..- . , the Bosphorus m certain contingencies in order to protect Christians. It is said that the Porte replied that the fleet could only come as the avowed ally of Turkey. It is also asserted, though on doubtlul authority, that this reply was withdrawn, on the energetic remonstrance of Mr Layard, the Brit ish representative at Constantinople.1 A Constantinople dispatch to the Times by way of Syra says : "Your correspondent at Kara Hunar writes that appalling accounts continue to come of the misery of the fugitives from the districts deyastated by the Bashi Bazouks and Bulgarians. Thou sands of women and children are home less and perishing for want of shelter, medical attendance and food. . lmme diate help on the largest possible scale is most sorely needed. The Pasha m command here proposes; to distribute the fugitives about Constantinople, Adrian ople and Phillipopolis, "but no arrangements have been made to re ceive them. Your correspondent sug gests the formation of a city of refuge i i try a . " on an ltsiauu near vuntstaminopie, un der the protection of a neutral flag and a neutral guarantee ironi the belliger ents. Thousands oi people are home less. Crops are rotting on the ground and no sort of prpvisiQn is ' made for the winter," .; . m- - ; i The correspondent speaks favorably of the conduct of the Turkish regulars, Dut severely piames the government for employing, or not controlling the irregular?, who scour the country, com mitting theSworst excesses." Even fugi tive women and children, who come for protection to the, Turks have to be guarded by regular troops, lest' they be further Injured by the savaeres. The Constantinople, agent who for wards the v foregoing - says i ' "From other letters which have reached me, l nave little doubts that the Bulgari ans are Denaying mucn m the same way as the Bashi Bazouks. " It will he impoihle for Christians and Mahom medans to ever live together again in the disturbed districts. Even the Philo Russians severely condemn the Rua sians' conduct .in first ; instigating the Bulgarians to revolt, and then leaving them to the mercy of the Turks whose right to treat them as rebels is hard to question." Connor and thc'Maine Republi cans. Portland. August 43.
