which hedescribes as follows: TheEus-
ao - Eoumanianf arrfry occupies the line
extending from wavitz to Tatchenit-
advanced bvsao to within 250 varda of
the second redoubt, which will proba
bly, fall in a few days. Further to the
left from Uravitza stands Kerdenkon s
corps, w men nas been reinforced since
the battle by parts of two divisions from
iiussia. in ext stands oeatons corps,
fearfully redueed in numbers, the bat
talions being brought down to three
Hundred men. On the extreme left.
near Tatchenitza, is the Imretinsky de
tachment, viz: the second division and
fourth rifle brigade. The latter is di
minished from four to two weak bat
talions. Here are also the remains of
Skobeloffs detachment. The spirit
and temper of the Russian soldiers are
admirable. 1 he Russians have upward
of 320 guns, and are constantly firing
on the Turkish works which scarcely
ever reply. It is said that the ammu
nition of the Turks is failing, but there
are no means of verifying this. They
walk about the redoubts most uncon
cernedly. The Russians are strongly
entrenched all along their front with
shelter-trenches, rifle-pits and redoubts
Twelve to sixteen regiments of Russian
and .Roumanian cavalry are hovering
about the Sofia road to impede, if they
do not wholly stop communications.
The Turks refused Seatoff leave to bury
bis dead which lie within three hun
dred yards of the Russian positions,
and must breed disease.
ine uatty jyews' .Bucharest corres
pondent, telegraphing Thursday, says :
"It is confessed that the Russian posi
tion in Shipka pass is precarious, both
because of the force threatening it, and
of the impending trouble to their com
munications.''
"The Times1 correspondent atGorny
Studin, says : "It is estimated at Rus
sian headquarters that the Turks lost
two thousand men in the late attempt
to capture Fort St Nicholas."
The limes correspondent at Gorny
Studin, after inspecting the positions
before Plevna, estimates that the Rus
sians with the reinforcements received
since the battle, must number nearly
50,000. The casualties on the 11th and
12th, amounted to over sixty per cent.
London, September 21. The Daily
News' correspondent who was present
at tne battle of rievna, telegraphing
from Bucharest, Sept 17th, says : "The
Russo-Roumanian army has abandon
ed now every pretense of the prosecu
tion of the attempt against Plevna, and
fallen back into the position occupied
before the commencement of the bom
bardment. The field artillery remains
still in some .of the positions of the
bombardment. It is announced that a
third renewal is intended on the arri
val of the Imperial Guard in a fort
night. I have great doubt whether an
other attempt will be made, and very
much strongerjdoubt whether, if made,
it can succeed. The Turks are better
soldiers,individually, than the Rus
sians. Of that, after seeing not a lew
battles, I stand assured. In the strate
gy of both major and minor tactics,
the lurks are simply immeasureably
superior; they are better armed than
the Russians, both in great and small
arms. They have engineers who can
design amicable defensive positions.
The Russian engineers seems incapa
ble of repairing a hole in a bridge. The
Turks seem as well provisioned as the
Russians, and are flushed with suc
cess."
Constantinople, September 21. A
despatch from Adrianople, dated yes
terday, says ; "There has been no
fighting in the Shipka pass since the
Turk? withdrew from t ort BtJNicn
olas."
Wholsale Destruction of Crops
in Alabama.
Chattanooga, Sept. 21. The abun
dant crop of cotton, corn and fodder
in the valley of the Black Warrior
river in Alabama have been entirely
swept away. The river suddenly rose
six feet, which is within two feet of
as high as was the terrible freshet of
June, 1872. The planters had just
commenced picking cotton,, and had
not hauled the corn and fodder from
the fields. It is estimated that 80,000
bales of cotton have been destroyed.
Most of the planters are ruined, and it
is doubtful if the actual necessaries of
life can be secured now. The town of
Tuscaloosa is about at the head of the
devasted section.
Merchants had ad
vanced heavily on these growing crops.
