THE ATHENS GEORGIAN:
29, 1877.
The Fall of Ardahan reported.
St. PfiTERsnuBG, May 21.—The
following is the official account of
the battle of Ardahan, telegraphed
by general Mellikoff to the the
Grand Duke Michael. The outworks
of Ardahan, its fortifications, citadel
sixty guns, immense stores of proviso
ions and ammunition, and the camp
formerly occupied by fourteen bat
talions of Turks lie at the feet of the
Czar. On May 17, the admirable
fire of our artillery between three
and six o’clock in the afternoon
made a breach in the walls at six
o’clock. The Erivan, Tifls and Baker
regiments, and also the Sappers, ad
vanced to the assault. The enemy
could not withstand the onslaught
and fled, leaving a great number
dead. At 9 o’clock our troops tra
versed the whole town and fortifica
tions, the bands playing the national
anthem. The troops are full of en
thusiasm. Our loss is believed to be
one officer and fifty soldiers killed,
four officers and one hundred ami
eighty soldiers wounded. I cannot
find sufficient words of praise for the
courage and coolness of our young
soldiers, or for the good disposition
of the troops made by the officers.
A solemn service will be held at the
central point of the fortifications.
London, May 21.—The London
Telegraph's special from Ezeroum,
Saturday, describing the first attack
on Ardahan, says the efforts of the
Russians commenced with a heavy
artillery fire, which was as hotly re
turned. This was followed by im
petuous infantry attacks, with great
slaughter every time, under orders
apparently to obtain success some
where or other at any cost. The
troops were led back to assault after
each failure until night stopped the
carnage.
From Kars we have intelligence
that yesterday the Russians attacked
the outer lines with a furious deter
mination, having preceded their at
tempt by a heavy, but ill-directed
cannonade from the siege artillery.
The powerful guns in the Turkish
batteries replied with better effect.
The duel was vigorously maintained
till the Russians brought up columns
of infantry as close as they dared
to the fortifications, apparently pur
posing, if possible, to take the place
by storm. The Ottoman commander,
observing this, drew together a large
body of troops behind the ramparts,
and launched a tremendous sortie
upon the Russian flank and rear,
under the shock of which the enemy
was obliged to retreat into a disad
vantageous position. A bloody en
gagement followed at elose quarters,
and at i,ts termination, the Russians
were obliged to retreat, beaten,
leaving ou the field threu hundred
dead and a large number wounded.
There was a slight -encounter in the
meantime between the cavalry,
without any special residt.
London, May 21.—The Russians
captured at Ardahan a Turkish
Pasha, and 82 cannon, including a
two inch and a number of small
krujips.
Ardahan, like all other old citadels
on the Asiatic frontiers, was sur
rounded by heights commanded it
witl in easy artillery range. These
heights had been fortified, but when
they were once taken, as it seems
have been the case at Ardahan, the
fortress itself would become untena
ble. The Turks did the best they
could, namely, to withdraw the gar
rison of eleven battalions, and effect
a junction with Mnhktar pasha in the
direction of Erzeroum. The danger
is that the Russians in the neighbor
hood of Kars may waylay the retreat
ing forco if they attempt to pass that
way; but there is another and much
more difficult mountain road through
the valley of Kera to the valley of
Olti, which the retealing Turks will
probably take. The fall of Ardihan
is a considerable advantage to the
Russians, for besides opening a line
of communication with Akahaltzik,
it will enable the Russians to turn
the force hitherto operating against
Ardahan toward Kars, or to take
part in the combined operations
against Erzeroum.
monday, amusements at Hull, a bal
loon which was about to ascend, was
blown against a gas jet and exploded.
Eighty-six of the spectators were
injured. They were taken to the
infirmary, when it was found that
sixty were able to proceed to their
homes after having their wounds
dressed.
London, May 21.—A Reuter tel-
gram from Athens says: It is stated
that the porte has sent a harsh reply
to Greece’s strong representations
relative to the recent release of the
Turkish brigands front prison at
Kunina and their entry into Greecs.
London, May 21.—A Reuter tele-
giant front Erzeroum announces that
the Russians have withdrawn from
Kaghcizman. Munhktar Pasha is at
Kankairduz.

An Arab Legend.
The Arabs have a fable from which
we may learn a lesson.
Once upon a time a miller, shortly
after he had lain down for a nap, was
startled by a camel’s nose being thrust
in at the door of his house.
“ It is very cold outside,’’ said the
cainel ; ‘pray, allow me to get my
nose in.”
The miller was an easy kind of a
man, so the nose was let in.
“ The wind is very sharp,” sighed
the camel; ” pray, allow my neck to
get inside.’’
This request was also granted, and
the neck was thrust in.
“ How fast the rain begins to fall!
I shall get wet through. Will you let
me place my shoulders under cover?”
This, too, was granted ; and so the
camel asked fora little and a little
mo:e, until he hud pushed his whole
body inside the house.
The miller soon began to he put to
much trouble by the rude companion
he had got in his room, which was not
large enough for both, and as the rain
was over, he civilly asked him to de
part.
If you don’t like it you may leave,
saucily replied the beast. “ As for
myself, I know when I am well-off, and
shall stay where I ant.’’
This is a very good story. We hope
the Arabs are all the wiser and better
for it; but let us also try to turn it to
good account.
There is a camel knocking at the
heart of us all, young and old, seeking
to be Jet in—its name is sin. It
comes silently and carefully, and
knocks, “ Let me in ” only a part at
first. So in comes the nose, and it is
not long before, little by little, it gains
entire possession ; like, as it was with
the Achan of old, “ I saw,” “ I
coveted,” ‘T took,” “Ihid” — step
by step, until he was “ led captive by
the devil.” Once in prossessinn the
master soon becomes the tyrant. Thus
it is that had thoughts enter the heart!
then bad wishes arise; then wrong
de?ds; until evil habits rule us. The
to make the baud proficient nnd the
concert a success, and we rejoice to
know that his musical attainments
met with such a brilliant ovation.
The A.ugusta Quartette.
