London, October 28.—The Post,
reviewing the situation, says it only
remains for all the powers to concur
in recommending a six .weeks’ armis
tice, with prolongations, as proposed
by the Porte. All correspondents
concur in a pacific charge on the
Russian attitude, but Russia’s motives
are variously construed.
A Times' dispatch from Belgrade
confirms the statement that seifs
wounding is again becoming frequent
among the Servians. A dispatch
says that during the fight at Kreveta,
a distinguished officer brought half
of the Russian battalion to the front,
saying lie was compelled to leave the
other half behind to prevent the
Servians from running away. A dis
patch from Vienna to the Times,
states that Prince Aversperg’s reply
in Rcichsradt, yesterday, to the in
terpellation on the Eastern question
is not satisfactory. There will prob
ably be an animated debate on the
subject in that body.
The Times, to-day, in its financial
article, says that the feeling .that war
is slaved oil’ at least for the winter*
for the hope that the salvation here
tofore shadowed, may be happily ef
fected.
The Pull Mull Gazette, in a leading
ing article of to-day, takes quite a
hopeful view of the peace prospects.

Belgrade, October 28.—The Ser
vian Cabinet difficulty is in a fair
way of being settled. It is probable
that Nicholich will consent to retain
tiie portfolio of Minister of War. A
telegram from the Minister of the In
terior, at Delegne, to Prime Minister
Ristics, in reply to an inquiry, says
that the Turks have not taken Djunis.
Constantinople, October 28.—
An extraordinary council of Ministers
was held Thursday to consider the
armistice, composed of German, Rus
sian, Austrian and Italian Ambassa

Minister, lias an intervie# with the
Porte to-day.
Ragusa, October 28.—Dervish Pa

Montenegrins have liberated the Al

London, October 28.—The Post
>ays if an armistice is agreed upon,
then comes the question of a confer
cuce. Russia objects to Turkish par
ticipation therein. It may be assumed
that this refers solely to the position
of a power to deliberate on its own
case. Obviously, if the six powers
meet to discu a the recommendations
to be made a s eventh, there, is some
thing anamolous in giving the latter
the casting vote in their decisions;
bnt it is impossible lor a moment to
consent to the exclusion of Turkey
from the European system, of which,
in virtue of the treaty of Paris, she
forms a part.. It ought to he practi
cable to find n method by which a
representative of the Porte may sit in
a conference so as to obviate thisdffi-
culty.

London, October 28.—The Times
publishes a dispatch from Spezia, that
the trial of the one hundred ton
Armstrong gun, made for the Italian
Government, was eminently success
ful. A hall fired with 341 pounds of
powder, attained a velocity 1,500
feet per second, smashed solid
wrought iron plates 22 inches thick.
It has pierced the strong backin

resistance of which is supposed to
be equal to the sides of the great

What is won for human rights will

When aggressive tyrranny sought
to enslave our continent, the colonies
became solid. With our strong
bfood, oppression may always he
sure of resistance among us. The
solid array of the South is not of
aggression. It asks simply for the
boon of self-government under the
Constitution and the laws, and it has
a light to demand this.
To tiie emancipated negro the
ballot was given to hold those States
to the Republican party, and for a
tin e, lie was the innocent agent of
men who had no ambition hut that
of the universe, after tiie wrong
comes the reaction, and payment is
exacted with interest. Let us then
have a Solid South, and have it now.
We hope, nay more, expect, every
Southern electoral vote for Samuel
J. Tilden. Individuals, States, and
mfleiis, deeps of adversity, -
seek for change; and the stricken
people, now pursued by the myrmi
dons of power with the click of the
firelock, wait unresistingly for re
demption by the-silent power of the
ballot. Unless all arguries fail, the
change is inevitable. The chain of
Republican invincibility was broken
on tiie 10th ot October, and even
now, the educated eye can see the
demoralization and panic of the once
haughty legions.
Let the Solid South write, then, the
“ Menu, Mens, tekcl” upon the pan
els ot its abode, and let the courage
and justice of the North look to the
consummation with no foreboding of
disaster. Tiie rebel debt belongs to
mythology ; the Confederate pension
roll, the Confederate cotton claims
for confiscated property, are but the
phantasy ot a diseased brain. Let
us save the Republic by the election

New York, October 28.—Anti-
Tammany heard the report of the

The Solid South proclaims that the

lot to ho cast to the tread of armed

venture the prediction that after we
have finished celebrating the glory
of the century just ended, and sound
ing the march of tiiat just begun, the
presence of military uniforms will
not be suffered to profane the casting
of our suffrages. Look at South
Carolina, with the tramp of the sol
dier over a soil black with the cinders
of war. It is the Carnatic of Hyder
Ali as depicted in the superb rhetoric
of Burke. What open war spared, the
civil bandit has gathered in the sweep
of his despoiling.
Louisiana, too, has bfeeu overrun

The coast from Baton ltonge to New
Orleans, an Eden of beauty and fer

of property and the tenure of life are
alike uncertain there, and the State
government has put her devastated
acres in mortgage for a debt which
she cannot pay. Mississippi, also, is
the camping grouud of the Goth and
the Huu. The hot ploughshares of
peace have cut deeper furrows than
those of war. Nor is the list com
plete, without Alabama, Georgia and
Florida.

strange thing happened in the bay
last Friday. Three men, Erank
Wells, Frank White and Wesley
liaise, went out to set a blue fish net.
There was a heavy sea, and the boat
was struck by a Wave, and white was
knocked overboard. The tide took
the boat on, and White, being an
excellent swimmer, had hold of the
shore-line and could pull himself
ashore. When half way to the shore,
he screamed, and his companions saw
his body dragged seaward. They
are of the opiuion that he was seized
by a shark. The body has not been.:
recovered, although' careful; search
has been made for it—New York
