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. Demons of Destruction.

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 dors. General Ignatieff, the Russian Minister, lias an intervie# with the Porte to-day. Ragusa, October 28.—Dervish Pa sha has withdrawn from Podgoritza to tiie Grondy District in the rear of Polotba. The surrender of Medun to the Montenegrins has produced a strong impression in Albania. Tiie Montenegrins have liberated the Al banian prisoners taken during tiie re cent fighting. 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.

There are a large number of illicit distillers in that section. 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 and thiity inch skin of a target, the resistance of which is supposed to be equal to the sides of the great Italian iron-clad Dnilio. New Orleans, October 2S.—The Captain of the British steamship Chileon, from Kingston, repoits a hurricane at Grand Cymans Island from 17th to the 21st.

Gr ‘cnesboro cotton receipts are in exces s of last year. Mr J. F. Wneaton, of Savannah, is slowly recovering. The Conyers Presbyterian Church is a handsome building. more than time the carnival ofEe- publican crime in the Southern States should be brought to an end. Plun der should have its appetite stinted. Misgovernment has long enough run riot. It nui9t be stopped. There is and can be no new rebel lion.' That peril is past forever. What is won for human rights will never again be the trophy of the sword. The clarion blast may be blown by the brass trumpets of agita tion, but the agitators are weak in numbers, and wicked as they are in purpose, they are powerless for evil. 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 of Samuel J. Tilden.—N. Y. Sun. of unlimited power.

New York, October 28.—Anti- Tammany heard the report of the Committee of Conference’ with the Republicans, who would not combine with anti-Tammany unless they threw Green and O’Brien off the ticket. The report was received with indignation, and a resolution adopted deciding to hold no further conference with the Republicans. The pools last night at Morrissey’s and Johnson’s were brisk and steady. On the general result of 200 to 160, and in the State of New York 100 to 40, in favor of Tilden. Hayes* Envoys.

The Solid South menus only, then, that this phahtas magoria has vanished from the sight. The negro turns from the adventurer and cheat, and, heeding no intimida tion, changes his vote. The Solid South proclaims that the intimidation of bayonets must cease, and the sabre he returned to its scab bard. How long, we ask, is the bal lot to ho cast to the tread of armed men and the roll of the drum ? We 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 by the besom of this destruction. The coast from Baton ltonge to New Orleans, an Eden of beauty and fer tility, is utterly wasted. The tenure 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. Georgia, with Bollock, its venal Governor, and its purchased Legisla ture and Judiciary, was loaded with a debt whose only payment was by repudiation; and it may he remem bered, as cxemplyfing the Divine justice, that the Northern agents of subsidy and bribes are, each and all, iu financial ruin. “ Why,” asks one of Graut’s Senators, “ does Georgia Chorm— Take the fort for Tilden and Hendrick*, They are very stunt;! v Reform is now the peoples’ motto, Turn corruption out.

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.
