No decisive action will take place at tho Schipka Pass until the arrival of,,reinforcements on one or both s des. The Standard’s correspondent at the Russian headquarters, tele graphs under date of Monday, as fol lows : The losses up to the present time are no less than 1*2,000 men on both sides. Gabrova is full of wound ed, and it is rumored that Generals Rodetsky and Demerosky arc wound ed. Prince Mirsky seems still to be between Selvi and Lcftsha, but com munication is so difficult that the fact is uncertain Bebrova has been burned by irregulars from Rasgrad. Tho Vienna correspondent of the Times, remarking on tho recent re placement of Mahmond Damad Pasha at the Turkish war office where he has been supreme since the fall of Redif Pasha, says it is believed at Constantinople that Mahmond Damad is responsible for ordering the waste ful attack on the Schipka Pass. The heavy losses there incurred, without a corresponding success, seems to have made the Sultan accessible to the advice of those who represented to him the forcing of the Schipka Pass as a great fault. I > The Times’ military correspondent at Bucharest telegraphs, that for tho moment, interest concentrates itself again on Plevna, where Osman Pasha is strongly reinforced by men from Suleiman Pasha and guns from W id- din. He is now credited with two hundred gmiS, and ought to make a good defense, but if defeated, the Turkish kta» will » be irreparable, in tjie face oj? an* immensely siljptior Rnssial cavalry. Osman Pasha’s de feat'would, moreover, immediately give the Russian forces enough, even without the coming guards, to push again over the Balkans. Advices from Athens say that two thousand Italians have offered their services to the Greek army. In Crete the agitation continues. Five hundred Christian families have asked permission to leave the Island, but the Governor lias refused the request. London, August 30.—A dispatch from Constantinople says, during a raid made by the Turkish troops, they succeeded in destroying an im mense amount of Russian stores near Gabova. A dispatch from Bucharest says, the Imperial Guard recently ordered to the front from St. Peters burg were rapidly passing through Bucharest on their way to join the Grand Duke Nicholas’ forces. ig it ttftfroCMbitf ’ to obtain a ilcct .wlicnqbibcn’e whnffi srfe could late her prifiop - cxpcrlenccj tjnder ’the immaculate tBcii, shosmnmoncd he ladies from the parlor to the ball room.

The matter remains an impenetrable mystery, and sin-e it occurred has been the chief topic of conversation among all the male and female gossips at the springs.” A Female Sensation at the White Sulphur. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing fn m tho Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs under date of August 24, makes the following . mention of a sensation at this place: “Thursday famished somewhat of a female sensation, the details of which have uot yet fully transpired. It appears that a certain lady visitor from Washington lias for some time £ast been endeavoring to make a little notoriety by a recital of her experience in New Orleans Under the adminisi ration of Gen. B. F. Bdiler. The lady formerly lived in Savannah, Gn., but moved t<» Wash ington some time previous to the war When hostilities began this •iivly took occasion to display tier aorcsKUin proclivities by words and acts, and made herself considerably obnoxious tt» the authorities there. As a consequence of this Mr. Seward, ip order to rid hims.-lf of a trouble some customer, sent the lady South tc New Or’earn—where she was when it wax taken General Butler.

When the war between the States commenced' Admiral Sentmes, who was well grounded in politics, and a States Rights and anti-consolidation man, earnestly cast his lot with that of his friends and compatriots of the South, aud the gallant services he rendered to Hie Confederate cause, soon won for ldiii the admiration of his countrytrion, as well as the plant! its of his enemies. As early in the war as the snmrt-.er of 1861 he took command df theConfederate steamer Sumter, t^hich played such liavqp with the ^merchant marine of the United States’. It was as the com mander of the “ 20,” or, as she was better known, the Alabama, a ship built in England for the Confederate States, that lie won his highest fame Bold, fearless and zealous, his vessel became, for a time, absolute monarch of the seas, inflicting immense dant- agas upon tho mercantile marine of the enemies of his country. On the 19th of June, 1864, the Alabama was sunk near Cherbourg, France, after a desperate battle with the Federal war steamer Kearsage, commanded by Admiral Winslow, a native of Carolina. Nine of the crew of the Alabama were killed and twen ty-one wounded. Admiral Semmes, after the destruction of his vessel, was rescued by the English yacht Deerhound.

In the meantime Mary was placedjin charge of Matron Webb of the lost children’s- department of the )H>licc headquarters. She asked for a hook, like a good little girl, to amuse herself and a bsilk was fur nished her. As^soon as she was left alone Mary put on her hat and started down stairs. The entrances were guarded by patrolmen. One of them asked Mary where she was goiug The child quickly and artlessly replied that Mrs. Webb had sent heron an errand; thon she started, gave little laugh, and added: “But, guess I’ve forgot ten part of what she asked me to do.” Saying this she ran up stairs., Soon she came down again, and the officer- thinking that such a wee thing could not dissimu late that way allowed!jp^do pass, anaMnifr iritgan Tn five minutes her escape was, discovered, but the lost child could udl be found. A day or two afterwards a gentleman called at the police station and re ported that on the previous Thursday —the day of Mary’s arrest—while his little daughter of eight years was playing on the beach at Coney island, a little girl darted at her; robbed her of her hat and shawl and a gold brooch, and as suddenly disappeared. While the gentleman was telling his story of the highway robbery by a child, an officer cantc in with a little girl bedraggled and footsore. The gentleman took a sudden interest in the child, and glancing at the hat and shawl exclaimed : “ Why, these are my little daughter’s things.” It was little Mary Fagan. Finding she was caught, she acknowledged that she had taken a hat and shawl and brooch friends, loved and respected by all- on Thursday.
