This latter oonolusion is supported by the arrival of a good quantity of heavy artil lery, especially mortars at Gnirgevo. It is a fact that the Uussians have ocou- ' pied the island of Stoker.

New York, Jnne 18.—A oable special reports a terrible fight between the TnrkB and Montenegrins on Saturday and Fri day. This may refer to week before last. The oable aays tbe advance of the Turks from Podgoritza had been carefully watched by Montenegrin spies, and every precaution had been taken in tbe seleo tion of a snitable point at whioh to re ceive the invading parly. Tbe Turks moved forward to Spnza, reaching that yards, and then pouted a deadly volley into their enemies’ front as a small body Montenegrin horsemen dashed from either side and foil upon their flanks. At first tho flanks wavered, bat rapidly changing front killed many of the attack ing party. The oentro camo up without halting until it reooived the second vol ley ; then, through some mistaken order or beoanse of disinclination to advonoe, the Turks halted. The Montenegrins sprang over the parapet of their entronoh- ments and attaoked the column with the bayonet. The Tnrks broke but werq par tially rallied by Ali Saib and fell back about two miles in terrible shape to an open plooe of oonntry. Meanwhile the Montenegrins had reformed and pursued the Tutfca. The retreat soon became a route, and the Montenegrin horsemen pursued the Turks to Spuz. Tbe Turkish dead at Plana along’ the road oertainly equalled 2,000 men, besides many wound ed and a few prisoners. TURKISH SORTIE BBPULSED AT EARS. l'he correspondent at St. Petersburg telegraphs that advices from Uuasisn headquarters in Armenia report the garri son of Kars have made another desperato sortie. The Unssian left wing under Gen. Heninan repulsed the attack, in- dieting severe losses on the Turks. Tbe Russian cavalry at Kufala succeeded in turning the Turkish flank and rear by a bold movement. The fighting was very brisk. The Turks lost 200 men and the Uossisns 100. On l place Friday night and eneamping. Saturday morning, at daylight, tbe ad vance in Montenegro began,-the Turkish force numbering 10,000 men, under com mend of Ali 8aib.. Tbe Montenegrins had taken up their station at Plaints, 3,000 strong. About ton o’clock tbe Turkish advanoe came upon the Montenegrin Pickets, who fell baok to the main body. An hour later fourteen battalions of Ali Saib eame upon, and, witbont baiting, at tacked the Montenegrin position. Daring the eight hoars following there was an engagement before the defile and fight ing. During the retreat four detached •Meeks were made by the Turks, but in ••eh were repulsed by tbe Montenegrins. Bonaa Pitrovioh had thrown np two rows °f entrenchments behind these ramparts Montenegrins foaght with a safe Retreat into the wooded hills, always open bahind them. The third advanoe of tbe ^urks was made with eight battalions, lad by Ali Haib in person. Flashed with tbrse victories the Montenegrins saw that their enemies eame np to attaok with lit tle hope; therefore they refrained from W»g until they were within two hundred HOW THE CIRCASSIANS WERE DEFEATED. A correspondent at Athens teiegrapbB an explanation of the defeat of the Gir eaasiaus at Benklie Ashmod. Tho Cir cassians in the Turkish- army booamo mutinous, owing to insotion,. and' de manded to be led against tbe enemy. Mouses Pasha, their leader, applied io Mnkhtar Pasha to be allowod to bring thorn to the relief of Kars. Permission was granted. Mousse, with 15,000 men, started for Kars, and reaohed the village of Denklio, situated on the plain of Kars, and encamped there for tbe night. Tbe Russians observed thoir movements, and coming upon them suddenly, snrrounded tho village and took the Circassians by surprise. The Circassians bad soaroely time to form, but made a desperate re sistance. They foaght singly or in groups, and the fighting was most entirely hand hand. Eleven hundreh Circassians were killed; the rest either dispersed or were taken prisoners. Monaa Pasha is supposed to have escaped. Hundreds of Turkish soldiers are de serting, owing to the ill-provisioned oon- dition of the army. Their condition is growing daily worse and worse. They are poorly fed and olothed, and are in want of almost everything neoeaaary. Note.—The above cables are to the Ilcrald. CONFLICTING REPORTS FROM BOUMANIA. London, Jnne 18.—A Vienna dispatch to the Times says conflicting accounts oomes from Boumanis. Those who re- gard operations as imminent explain the general movement of the Uussian troops during the last week A a preparatory movement for oonoentrating forces whioh were hitherto seattorod about in the can touments. The departure of a portion of the headquarters on the lltb, from Pis- jesti to Alexandria is regarded as a Bare indication of the imminent notion. The usual precautions are token to prevent say one from spprosohing the ltussisn line goes to eonfirm this impression. One ac- oouut states that all the inhabitants have beon ordered to withdraw from the shore, Believers in this speedy commencement of operations actually name Jnly 18tb, os the date on which the attempt to arose will be made. Another souroo not less well informed, positively states s fort night will elapse before the Bnssisns Rro ready to undertake operations along tho whole line. This party as a reason for the belief cito the imperfeot state of pre parations. These were formed so far backward on the Emperor’s ar rival at Pisjesti, that he is said to havo expressed his displeasure, Despite the obstaolos oansed by the rains, it was thought more might have boon done, if it bad not been for tho want of harmony and co-operation extending to those occupying very high positions. Tho establishment of a magazine close to tbe Danube and tho collection of bridging material are psrtiotalarly considered very baokwsrd. Since tho Czar's arrival fresh energy is infusod into preparations, but this st first was somewhat neutralized by various railway breakdowns. Those who do not believe in immedi ate operations explain the great movement of the troops by tho supposition that the commander-in-ohief had reasons to con siderably modify bis plan, and that so- cording to the new arrangement six of the eight army corps are to be eoneontrated on a comparatively short line between Guirgevo and Islas, on the river Alitns. Either of the foregoing opinions is plausible, and both are founded on ob servation on the spot. The Vienna correspondent of tho Daily News telegraphs: It is thought ten days may elapse boforo all is ready. Tho in telligence whioh arrives here points to Gnirgevo and Qurnn Maguelli as tbe most important places of interest. At the for oner steam launches havo already arrived, and s largo siege train is being collected, while three oorpa, 8th, 12th sod lltb, aro ready to oonverge on that point on Iho Aluta, behind Qurnn Msgnclli. The 0th corps is in wsiting,and the 13tb is on the march to join it. The 14th corpB is in Galalz, bnt will proceed westward and probably cross sboot Tohernavoda or Kelsrasb, with the 4th oorpa. Ostentatious demonstrations are being made in the neighborhood of Brails, Beni and Ismail, but I imaginetbey are merely feints. monteneoro. Manchester, June 18.—A Gettinje dis patch to the Guardian, says it was do- oided a weok ago at tho Montenegrin Oounoil of War not to aoriously oppose tbe reprovisioning of Nioniea in oenso- quenoo of tho' great loss infiictod at Kristoes, and beoanse tbe roiief of the town has oeosed to have any Bignifioanoe, or owing to inoreased strength of the Montonegro artillery. Should the Turk ish army retire,NiOBios may now be easily stormed. The Turks by advanoing into the plain of Ntesios, have walked into a trap, perhaps, for shonld the Montene grins block Dags Pass, the Tnrks will be unable to return. A lull is expected for tho next few days. CROSSING THE DANUBE POSTPONED. Vienna, Juno 18.—The orossing of the Dauubo will bo postponed antil tbe arrival of the 4th sod 13lh army corps at the front, whioh will not likely be before the 23th iust.

OIBOULAB OF GOVERNMENT PRINTER TO PRINTERS, Special to Ent/uircr-Sun Office of the Public Printer,) Washinoton, June 18, 1877.) It is now more than sixtoon years sinoo the establishment of tho Government printing oflioo. .Since that time com positors, pressmon aud book-binders have come hero from every part of the coun try for employment; many of them ob tained, and by bard work and economy, seoured homes for thoir families, whioh, in many instances, havo not boon entire ly paid for. Others who do not own bouses, rent them, or board ; and noarly all havo families to support ont of thoir daily earnings. Thoro aro now moro sober, industrious and capable workmen of this obarooter bore than can, at any timo, be omployod. It would be nnjnst and cruel to discharge any of those workmon merely to put oth ers from a distance in their places, and it will not be done. As lottera have beon reoeivod from a great number of persons asking for employment, it is deemed boat to adopt this method of informing ali concerned that situations can not bo had, so that tbo oxpenso of coming boro may be avoided. It must also bo distinctly understood that this establishment can not woll bo mado either a religions, po litical or oharitablo asylum. It is a groat work shop, tho most extensive publishing bouse in the world, and must bminanngod with the same regard as to ooauomy as is observed by the managors of similar pri vate workshops, or else it were hotter for tbe Government to abolish it.
