Lomdoh, August 8 —The Naeee, in its
detailed narrative at the fcattto of Plevna,
given the Boetian foreee ee 88,000 infan-
try, ldO field gone and three brigadee of
eavalry, and aaja this defeat nukes the
Banian hold in Bulgaria extremely pro
asriens, aad araat ooaopel the withdrawal
of troops from some other point, wt
they are nearly as badly needed to beat
the Turks as at Plevna, where they were
beaten. They most be there, and that
speedily, M the Btaaato* army to not
forthwith to retire iagtortoosly into the
at manta.
The Newf Bnehareat enrreepondent,
telegraphing on Thorsday, eaya the troops
xeoeatly eagsged at Plevna have retired
behind Oema river. The sixteenth divis
ion of the fonnh corps is ordering at Sim
ula*. and will probably reinforce them.
All the scattered Bossies troops now In
the prinelpaUliee have bean summoned
into Bulgaria. I understand the Turks
are not advancing seat ward from their
Plevna position, but are passing strong
forces from Plevna northward towards
wab nor to an wars xbab.

Lomdoh, August 8.—The DaUy Newt'
oorreepondent sends from Pserdsc, user
Plevna, a graphio aooount of Tuesday's
battle,the substantial facta of which are ae
telegraphed to the United State* yester
day. The following closing eoenes gives
a vivid idw of the extant of the Buasien
disaster. It will be nottoed that the cor
respondent Is with Prinoe Sehaikoskoy’s
command, end does not purport to give
any aooount of the condition or losses of
General Krodener’s corps:
And now all hopes of suooess was dead,
nor did a chance offer to make the beat of
defeat Prinoe Sohaikoekoy had not a
man left to oover the retreat. The Turks
strnok without Mint They had the up
per hand for ooos, and were determined
to show that they knew bow
to make the • best of it.
They advanced in swarms through the
dusk on tbair original drat position, end
oeptured the Busaian can cons before the
batteries oould be withdrawn. Turkish
■belie began onoe more to whistle over
the ridge above Badiahova, and fell into
the village beyond, now orammed with
.. woknded. The streams of wounded
wended thrtrpnlwMt 'wey over the ridge,
l, **rt|H8$Hil*l. The badly wounded
moeriyBjyMtore they fell. Inter, in the
darkness, a baleful sort of Knnkeutree-
- gor swarmed over the battle laid in the
shape of Baahi Baxouke, who (pared not,
lingering there on the ridge till the
noon time. The moon rose, end
the staff oould beer fyoac below oo
the still night sir cries of pain,
entreaties tor meroy, and Urn yells
of blood-thirsty fanatioel triumph.
It was indeed an hour to wring the stout
est heart. We stayed there to learn, if it
might be, whet troops were soaring out
of the valley of the shadow of death be
tel', whet# there indeed wen nano at all
te oofM. It did not seem to be the seas.
• 'Twin had on range before dark
_ I we oould watch the flash of flames
over against us, and then listened to the
eerseata of the ehelta that tore by as. The
eonnd of rifle bullets was incessant, and
the eaoort and retreating wounded were
etruok.
A deteohment at length began to seme
struggling up, but it will givo an idea of
the disorganization to aay that when a
oompeoy wee told off to cover somewhat
the wounded Badiahova, tt had to be
made np of men of several regiment*.
About nine o’olook the stiff quitted the
ridge, leaving it littered with groaning
men, end moving gently teat they ehenld
tread on the prostrate wounded, wo lost
oar way, aa w* had lost our army. We
had no uae for the eolee of our foot, by
reaaod of the alarms of the Baelli risannhe
■warming in among the mattered and re-
gBarttoa*.
l length, at one o'clock in tho morn
ing (we have been in the saddle since six
o’clock on the previous morning), wa
tamed into a stubble field, and, making
beds of the naked grain, correspondents
end Oosaaoks alike rested under the stare.
Bat we not even then were allowed to
rest, before an alarm that the Beebi
B*souks were upon us, and we bed to
arouse the tramps aa the only protection
of tho ehief of yhat, in tho morning, was
a fine army, was new a handful of wear
ied Cossacks.
Gen. Fondeyer sent word in the.
ing that he had lost severely, and
make no headway end bad resolved to
fell book on the line of tho river
There had*been talk of hie troops being
freeh, of receiving of tho etteot to-day
with hie oo-operation bnt is a plain
meat of foot that we have no troops to at
tack with.*
Tho moat moderate estimate te that we
have lost two regiments, say 6,000
out of our three brigadee, ■ ghastly tram
bar besting Eylen or Finland.
This takes no eooount of Gen. Koede-
ner’s losses. We bed to retire on tho
Oema Blrer about Bulgaria, and to the
best of our week strength oover the
bridge at Bistove.
One cannot in this moment of honied
oonfnaion realize all tba possible results
of the stroke so rashly oonrted.
Not a Busaian aoldier stands between
Tirnova and the victorious Tnrkieh army
in Lovioa sod Plevna, end only a weak
division of the 11th oorpe stands between
Tiruova and the Shnmla army.
1 look on Prinoe Schaokoiousky’s force
as e wrack, no longer for this campaign
to be oo anted ee a lighting body, tt to
not ten days ainoe the 80th division
ed the Danube in the pride of superb
condition—what of it that to left, to de
moralised and shattered; so on this side
of the Balkans there remains bnt the run*
orops already ronghly handled, onoe at
Nikopolie, and onoe *t Flevna—one divis
ion of the 11th corps end the Bustohok
army. Now, if the Bustohok army is
marohed to the west against Plevns, than
ths Turkish army of Bnstohnk is 1st looss
on the Busaian communications to Tir
uova. One cannot avoid tho oonoluaion
thet the advanoe of the Balkans is seri
ously compromised.
The Buasien strait is so bad that scat
tered detachments have been oalled upon
out of Boomed*, and the Boumtnian
division eommtnded by General liana,
whioh crossed over two days ago, and
Nikopolia has been oalled up to the lino of
Oama river.
An Aide-de-Oemp of the Grand Duke
Niohclas wee present at the battle, end at

From tho Now York Evonlng Post.]
Aa a pendant to the interesting descrip
tion of " Bowman's Folly” end the Bevo-
Intionary reminiscences of its owner,
Gen. John Cropper, in the Gvening Post,
of Jane 2G, will you allow me to furnish
a copy of the oorreepondenoo in whioh
the old hero bore e part—the other party
being the father of the late Gov. Henry
A. Wise. As an illustration of tbe stately
courtesy and somowbat grandiloquent
atyle ol our grandfathers it may be iuter-
eatlng to your readers; and as an example
of the etiquette of courtship in the olden
time, it may well (if vainly) be eoni-
mended to modern lovers. It is pleaaiog
to know that the gallant Mr. Wise was
successful in bis suit. Tbe correspond-
enoe (oopies) oatue into my hands through
one of Gen. Cropper's dese-ndauts. Gov.
Wise was mnoh delighted on seeing it for
Ibe first time a few years ago. Here is
the correspondence;
JNO. WISE TO GEN. GROPl'ER (WITHOUT DATE)
Feeliog myself irresistibly impelled by
inclination, and prompted by a Reuse of
propriety, I have presumed now to ad
dreaa yon upon a Bnltject of importance
and delioaoy. *
Having eonooived i.u stteotion for your
daughter (Miss Bally) I bog leave to ho-
liojt your permission to make my address
to her, and at the same time let me ox-
preBB a hope that should I be so fortunate
to suooeed in obtaining her affections,
my first wishes may not be frustrated
by your disapprobation, I have thought
proper to make tbe application to yon ou
the subjeot in this manner, rather than in
person, beoause my oharaotor (if I have
toqnired any,) my oondition and situation
in life are not altogether unknown (o yon,
and If objections aro to be made they
oan bo more freely oommuuioated in this
tban iu any other way,
I have hitherto proceeded no further
with the tody than merely to obtain her
permission to make this application, and,
sir, I now pledge you the honor of a gen
tleman, that in oase you bavo objections
of an insuperable nature to the proposed
anion, whatever may bo the ohagrin, re
gret and mortifioation whioh I may feel
upon the oooasion, I will not disturb the
quiet of a parent anxiously solicitous, no
doubt, for Ibe happiness of a beloved
daughter, by persisting any further with
bar.
Permit me to assure yon that I am,with
muoh consideration and reapeot, your
obedient servant, John Wise.
GEN. CHOPPER TO JOHN WISE.
Bowman's Folly, 11 May, 1787.
Sir—Altbougb the application made by
your letter of this day was unexpeoted,
yet my reflections heretofore ou that aub-
eot have prepared me to answer : That
lowever solioitous I may be for the tom
petal felicity of my daughter and future
respectability of my child, she is the only
proper judge of the person best oalouluted
to make her happy. Bespeot and impar
tiality ought to be shown by me to you- or
any gentleman that might make bis ad
dress to my daughter, and 1 oonfide in
your oandor and justioe.
I am, sir, with dne respeot, your obedi
ent servant, John Obopper.
I may add that “Bowman’s Folly,"
wbiob was sold at Gen. Cropper's death in
1821, has reoently passed buok into tho
possession of his direot descendants,

It will be observed that this table does
not inolnde the New York Central nor
any of the short side lines whose trains
were stopped in the general meh e. Tak
ing in these lines, we have in all ten
thousand miles of railroads, represent
ing in bonds, watered stock, and other*
wise, about ooe thousand millions of dol
lars, or folly twice as mnoh as it would
ooat to build and fnrnish the whole of
them to-day.
The managers of onr great railroads
have been orazy.' They have gone on like
lnnatios daring the past fifteen years
making connections westward, northward,
southward, and in every possible direo
tion, without regard to the cost, and with
out any certainty of paying traffic; bnt
with an inaano belief that every railroad
mast, from tbe necessity of the case, be a
souroe of profit and power. In these en
terprises and extensions they have thrown
away and destroyed at least five hundred
millions of dollars whioh oan never be
recovered, not only because their lines
and connections far exceed the require
ments of the oonntry, bnt also beoause
rnauy of them are essentially nnneoessary
and oan never be made prodnotive.
faot, they themselves now admit there is
not business enough for them all, and is
not likely to be for an indefinite period to
ootne.
Thus grasping after nniversal dominion,
tbe ooolest and shrewdest of our railway
magnates have been carried away by this
lunacy. How mneb money did Commo
dore Vanderbilt spend in patting down
the third and fourth traoks of the New
York Central ? Those third and foarth
tracks sre unprofitable; they produce
nothing; in fsot, they are, to a certain
extent, an inconvenience and a nuisance,
especially in tbe winter, when they have
to be cleared of snow.
The same exaggerated and deluded
ambition has made tbe proprietors and
managers of these great machines think
themselves above the people. They have
bonght and owned Legislature*; they
have made laws and expounded them
through their own Judges; through their
Credit Mobilier and their subsidies, they
have corrupted Congress; and they have
aspired to own and govern and tax the
United States.
These things osnnot be so any longer.
We mast have a change.

ROMANCES OF THE HOniNOFFH.
A PEASANT GIBL WHO DECAMP. AN EMPRESS
—WARRIOR QUEENS—THE CZAR AT THE
FRONT.
New York Tribune.]
Daring one of his campaigns against
Charles XII., the soldiers of Peter the
Great oapturod tbe town of Marienburg
after a short defence by the garrison.
Among the prisoners of war was a Livon
ian peasant girl, 17 years old, graoefal
rather than pretty. She was weeping
bitterly, for the soldier whom sbo had
married only the day before bad perished
in the battle. This young girl boonme
the Empress of Russia. Hhe could neith
er read nor write, bat her temper was so
smooth that she could oontrol the most
uogovernable of rulers, even in those
bursts of passion whioh made him almost
a madman. Hhe followed him to his camp
and shared with him the dangers of war.
When his army was starving on the banks
of the Pruth and disauter was staring him
in the faoe, she brought salva*
tiou to the oamp by bribing the
Turkish commander with her jew
els. Not long afterward tbe
Emperor went to Berlin, accompanied by
his peasant wife, and the ladies of tho
Prussian oonrt said that her olotbes were
so bedeokeu with silver tmael that she
must have bought them in n doll-shop.
She wore few jewels, bat was dooorated
with portraits of saints and relics, which
made a great clatter when nbe walked.
“A painted actress, pious but coarse,"
was the verdict of the princesses. Rut
the Czar was not ashamed of her. Hho
had saved his camp. Aftor Peter the
Great oame those warrior queens. Ann
and Catherine, who nearly drove tho
Turks out of Europe. They did not
themselves lead their armies, but their
oommanders, Munniob, Romanzoff, Po
temkin, and Suwarrow felt the pressure
of an iron-handed mistres at Bt. Peters
bnrg. The discipline whioh Munnich
enforced in the army was as unreasonable
and hard-hearted as the caprice of tho
Empress. When the hospitals wero full
he issued an order prohibiting any soldier
to be sick under penalty of being burned
alive; and when his troops were unwill
ing to storm a town ho turned his own
batteries upon them and forced them to
advance. u Yon will take Ismail,
cost what it may," were the orders which
Hnwarrow received, and thirty thousand
Turks perished iu the siege and massacre
before the dispatch was sent to Catherine,
“Mother, Ismail is at your feet." Tho
determination *of the SemiraraiH of tbe
north was as inviooible as the oourago of
Suwarrow. The wives of Alexander and
Nicholas were gentler souls. When Alex
ander was heir to tbe throne, he went
from court to court in quest of a wife.
The Grand Duke Louis of Hesse Darm
stadt bad several daughters, but only one
of them pleased the Russian Prince.
While her sisters were arrayed in jewels
and silks, the youngest sat apart in a sim
ple white dress, it was Marie Alexau-
drovno, the present Empress of Russia.
She has always been iu hearty accord with
the Czar's polioy toward bis people, and
her place is by bis side at the Cabinet if
not in oamp. Sho may not have tbe ge
nius for a jewel bargain which the wife
of Peter the Great displayed on the banks
of the Pruth, but she can at least play the
[ >art of Cornelia, and point to her jewels
u the camp—five sons fighting under the
Greek cross.
