Will you be kind enough to correct the statements in your Wash ington letter in the Herald of the 1st instant, relating to me? I can't imag ine who started such a report. I do not propose to dodge anything. I have for months said I would support Mr Hayes' administration by my votes in; the Senate and still intend to do so. Between the President and myself there is, as far as I know, the kindest feeling;' ! When Gen Butler was elected Senator' last winter, I said I would vote for his admission and I intend to do so boldly and cheerfully. I propose to ask the senate to investigate the charges contained in the indictment against me, but shall attend the ses sions of the Senate as punctually as I always have done. j Signed J J J Ir ATTEKSON. Washington, Oct. 5. Judge Cartter, Supreme Judge of the District Court of the District of Columbia, to-day re ceived a requisitiop from Gov Hamp ton, of south Carolina, lor United States Senator J J Patterson. Judge Cartter has examined the indictments, certificates, &c, and will issue a war rant for Patterson's arrest. A techni cality appears in the requisition which will probably necessitate returning it before any dennite action is taken. Steamer Sank High Tides. New York, October 5. The steamer Massachusetts, from New York to Providence, went ashore near Hoi ton s Point, Loner Island Sound, at 12 o'clock last night. She lies about four hundred feet from the shore full of water. The passengers are all safe, and will be landed by the next ebb tide. The storm reached here yesterday afternoon, and in the evening became furious. The weather is clear this morninfi. There were very high tides yesterday which, with torrents of rain and gales, did much damage along the water fronts, and also in .Newark, Jersey City and Brooklyn. It also in terfered with ferry and railroad travel. Green Point, Li. I , October 5- The Massachusetts lies broadside to the 1 shore. The sea is not breaking over her." The surf is rolling up 6 to 8 feet high. The passengers are being landed by surf boats and sharpies. The steam er has five life boats on board hanging on davits not in use. The cause of her going ashore was the loss of her reck oning in the storm. Ihe opinion is that she will go to pieces. Much of the cargo, consisting of bales of cotton, oil in barrels, and general merchandise, was thrown overboard. Ihe beat lies about 300 feet from the shore. Seventy- five lady passengers were on board, and behaved bravely throughout. The first passengers were landed by Charles Clark and Daniel Mallison, of East Marion. The fishermen of Green Point and East Marion are doing ser vice with their sharpies landing the passengere, rowing to ana irom the boat, ihe hie boats used are named through the surf by ropes. A hawser with a cradle, rigged for landing pas sengers, is also connected with the lip of the blun, but it will not be necessa ry to use it. Two hundred passengers in all were on board. The ladies are all landed, and all will be safely ashore by 1 o'clock. They will mostly return to New York by train on the Long Is land Railroad. Germany Demands that the Principles off Humanity.

His outposts were driven in and the fighting result ed in the killing and wounding of 5,000 Russians. The Turkish loss is not stated. The Porte in a dispatch to its representatives abroad claims that Mukhtar gained an overwhelming vic tory. The Times' Rustchuk special, Oct 3d, says: "A renewed bombardment by the Russian batteries at Giurgevo has inflicted an enormous damage up on the town of Rustchuk. A great pro portion of the houses are in utter ruin. Only a few remain. The entire en trenchments, however, are intact. The health of the garrison and inhabi tants is good, and the casualties few."

The Excelsior train from the Pennpacker reunion, held near Schwerksville, yes terday, on the Pickering Valley Rail road, when near Phoenixyille last night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, was badly wrecked by rains washing out the track for some distance. Ihere were about 200 persons on the train. Up to 9:30 this morning dispatches show that twelve persons were killed and about fifty wounded. Owing to the confusion and excitement, it is impos Bible to obtain any names or the exact number killed and wounded. Frenchtown, N.

The Trenton Woolen Mills are burnt; loss 150,000. worthy report from Berlin states that by Emperor William's special orders a note has been sent to Constantinople very earnestly urging that the princi ples of humanity should be no lunger violated. The note does not exactly threaten the Turks, but leaves no doubt of the high indignation felt, and that the German government does not in tend silently and indifferently to look on the outrages which have been per petrated. London, October 5. Russian officials acknowledge the loss of 52,000 men up to September 27th. The Russian grain crop is disap pointing in quantity and quality. The wet weather in August and the scarcity of labor are the causes of a short crop. Further particulars of the battle be fore Kars make it evident that the Russians assaulted the Turkish posi tions along the whole line and were re pulsed with a heavy loss. The success gained on Tuesday in the capture of the Great Yagni Hill, claimed by the Russians and conceded by the Turks did not compensate for the failure at other points of the line, and the posi tions carried have since been aban doned. Notwithstanding the dilatory and fragmentary character of the dis patches, enough reached us to make it apparent that the main action was fought on Tuesday. The Turkish line extended from the Great and Little Yagni, two fortified bills in the Kuruk dora plain, as far as Am on the Arpa chai River, with the centre advanced toward the river, and resting on Kesel tip The Russians had been reinforc ed both by new troops and those late- 1 a . 1 iy empioyea agamst tne vjaucassian in surgents. They commenced battle at day break on luesday, by an assault on the Great Yagni, which is the extreme outwork of Mukhtar Pasha's fortifica tions, about twelve miles due east from Kars. Here the lurks seem to have been taken by surprise, as much as the Russians were when Mukhtar Pasha won Keseltip from them, and com pelled them to abandon their fortified camp at Kurukdora. A single lurkish battalion defending the Great Yagni, was cut to pieces or captured after two hours obstinate deience, whicn gave the Turks an opportunity to prepare lor the next assault. Up to thi3 point all accounts agree, but regarding the subsequent events, they are very con flicting. A lurkish omcial dispatch says : A great battle ensued, lasting thirteen hours. Kepeated Kussian attacks were repulsed with heavy loss A Kussian bulletin from the Grand Duke Michael's headquarters at Kara- jal, dated 4tb inst., says : "After the capture of the Great Yagni, it was lound that the .Little Yagni was so strongly fortified that an attempt to assault it was considered premature After the thirteen battalions sent from the Turks to reinforce Mukhtar Pasha had repulsed our troops, they fortified themsehes in the positions they occu pied. Our loss on Tuesday was 2,009 killed and wounded. The enemy s loss was not less. We captured 200 men Evidently the Turkish account as to the repeated attacks, after the capture of the first Turkish position, iscorrect. Otherwise there could not have been 6,000 men killed and wounded. The 200 captured by the Russians were pro bably the permanent garrison of the Great Yagni. The Russians also attack ed the centre at Jieseltip, but were re pulsed. Simultaneously, a Russian force moying from the direction of Am, en deavored to turn the Turkish right and get between Mukhtar .fash a and Kars. This is the moyement referred to by tne JJaiiy jsews correspondent, in a special dispatch from Karajal, Wednes day, in which he says : "Hopes are entertained 01 cutting oft Mukhtar Pasha from Kars." Of this affair, a Turkish bulletin says : ".Alter nve nour s ngnung, a Russian force consisting of six battal 10ns 01 infantry and three regiments of cavalry were driven back and pursued to the banks 01 the Arpachai A Kussian bulletin says : "A lode ment was effected on the Turkish right nank, and a lurkish attack on the next day, Wednesday, was brilliantly repulsed, and the enemy driven as far as the outer line of their camp. The Russian loss here was three hundred killed and wounded." , From these conflicting statementsit is quite ap parent that the lodgment effected i by theKussians was not of any import ance. since a subsequent assault bv the Turks only resulted in the latter being dnyen to the outer line 01 their camp. flM 1 - 1 1 I - f . lus luss was aiao insignia. cant." - - JTinallyV the Turkish bulletin con. eludes, "we have gained a brilliant vic tory, and inflicted a loss of over 5,000 on the enemy."

It is only now and then that inch men as Hon Alex H Stephens, Ex-Goy Smith and Ex-Gov Brown, of 6a., endorse a medicine for the throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections.
