A report from fieri in states that

particulars of Ihe hat
boliuo Ivar make it evident
Blls-inn .1- aiill cd tin
jßffk--' positions along tin- whole
Tine, and were repulsed with
heavy loss. The ad vantage gain
cd on Tuesday by the eaptinv of
the great Vagni Hill, claimed hy
the Russians, and conceded by
the Turks, did not cniii]>ensate
for the failure at other points of
the line. The positions carried
have since Ihcii abandoned.
Not w ilstaiiding the dilatory and
fragmentary character of the dis
palches, enough has readied us
to make it apparent that tlie
main action was luuglit on lues
day. Tin* Turkish line extended
from (Iteat and Little Vagni,two
fortified hills, into the Kurikdava
plain as far as Aux, on the Ar
pachai river, with the centre ad
vanced toward the river and rest
ing on Ki/.el 'l'epe. The Russians,
wlm had been reinforced both
by new troops and those lately
employed against tin* Caucassian
insurgents, commenced hat tie at
da> break on Tuesday by an as
sault on Great Vagni, which is
the extreme outwork of Muhktar
Pasha's fortifications, about 12
miles due east Irom Kars. Here
the Turks seem to have been ta
ken by surprise as much as the
Russians were when Muhktar won
Ki/.il Tepe from them and com
pelted them to abandon their
fortified camp at Kurikdava. A
single Turkish battallion defend
ing great Yagni was cut to pie
ces or captured after an hour's
obstinate defense, which gave
the Turks an opportunity to pre
pare for the next assault.
Up to this point all accounts a
grot*, hut regarding subsequent
events, they are very conflicting.
A Turkish official dispatch says
a great battle ensued, lasting tit'
teen hours. The repeated Rus
sian attacks wore repulsed with
heavy loss. A Russian bulletin
from Grand Duke Nicholas's
headquarters at Karjab dated the
Bth instant, says; “Alter the
capture of Yangi, it was found
that Little Yangi, was so strongly
fortified that an attempt to as
sault was considered premature.
After thirteen battalions from the
Turks, to reinforce Muhktar Pa
sha, had been repulsed, our
troops fortified themselves in the
positions they occupied. Our
loss oti Tuesday was 3,000 killed
and wounded, and the evening's
losses are not less. We captured
200 men.”
hnEvidcut l\. the Turkish account
the reported attacks after
the capture ot the first Turkish
kuisition is correct; otherwise,
Jncre could not have been six
thousand men killed and wounded
The 800 captured by the Kus
siuns were probably the remnant
of the garrison of if real Yagni.
Thi‘ Russians also attacked the
centre at kizel Tcjie, but were
repulsed. Simultaneously, a Kus
E moving from thedirec
leavored to turn the
ight and get between
Pasha and Kars This
Yemeni referred to by
News' cm respondent in
a special dispatch from Karajal
on Wednesday, in w hich lie says
hopes are entertained of cutting
oil'Muhktar Pasha from Kars.—
Of this allair, a Russian bulletin
says; -After live hours’ fight
ing, a Russian force consisting of
six battalions of infantry and two
regiments of cavalry were driven
hack and pursued to the hanks of
the Arpaslmi." A Russian bul
letin says: -A lodgment was
effected on the Turkish right
think, and a Turkish attack on
the next day (Wednesday) was
brilliantly repulsed and the ene
my driven as far as the outer
line of their camp. The Russian
hiss here was MOO killed and
wounded.” From these conflict
ing statements it is quite appa
rent that the lodgement affected
by the Russians, was not of any
importance since a subsequent
assault by the Turks only resul
ted in the latter being driven to
the outer line of their camp. The
loss was also insignificant on
Tuesday. The Turkish Bulletin
circulates; We have gained a
brilliant victory, and inflicted a
loss of over five thousand on the
enemy.’' The Russian bulletin
circulates : -To day (Thursday,)
our right flank was w ithdrawn
from the position occupied by
them on Tuesday,on account of
the difficulty of obtaining water.”
London, Oct. s. —The Turks
estimate the Russian force en
gaged against their left at ill bat
talions of infantry and if regi
incuts of cavalry. They say lit
tie Vagni was assaulted live times
and taken and retaken. The
movement against the Turkish
right flank was so near succeed
ing that Muhktar Pasha's commit
location with Kars at one time
was actually intercepted. Event
unity tin* repulse was complete
along the whole line, and the
Turks remained in possession of
I lie field of hat t le.
London, October t. —The ob
ject of the Russian attack is eilli
er to cut Muhktar Pasha off from
Kars, or drive him under its walls
and shut him up there. If they
tail, the second Russian campaign
in Asia w ill he over.
From Bulgaria there is no in
lelligence of active operations.
'l'he army of the ezarowieh will
naturally await the arrival of the
whole of its reinforcements he
fore it will venture an aggressive
advance either towards Rust
clink or across the upper Lion.
London, Oct. o.—The Daily
News’correspondent, with (fen
oral MellikofUs army, telegraph
ed from Rasrichens, on Thursday.
He says: At Bo’clock this af
ternoon the Russians were stir
rounding KizilTepe, when Muhk
tar Pasha, desperate at seeing
his communications with Kars
threatened, advanced against our
center with twenty battalions.—
The Turks were received with a
crushing artillery tire. The Rus
sian tirnilloures drove them hack,
pursuing them to Saubatin, till
nightfall. The Turks were liter
ally demoralized, and everywhere
took flight. To morrow (Friday)
a great battle is expected along
the whole front, where we hope
to cut Muhktar’s communications,
and render Ids position hopeless.
Our losses are unknown, but over
2,000 are reported missing.”

T II JE F I E E D AN D F I R ESI!) E .
No private use of public funds

•date in the interest of the peo
file-
The party in power responsible
for all legislation while in power.
Economy in public- expense,
that labor may be lightly Imr
dened.
Pickings from All Quarters.
The trustees of the Peabody
Educational Fund having decided
to add five more to the list of ap
pointees from Georgia to scholar
ships in the normal college at the
Nashville University, Prof. Orr
has selected the following persons
from among the recent compete
tors for those positions : Miss An
na J. Muse, of Atlanta; Mr. A. W.
Starke, of Decatur; Mr. C. I). Mad
<Wx, of Cherokee county, Mr. V.
E. Orr, of Sandersville, and Mr.
J. E. Mathis, of Buena Vista.
There was a light frost at Mem
phis and Nashville, Tennessee, on
the fitli inst. but not sufficient to
damage the cotton crop.
The state central committees of
the greenback and union labor
parties of Pennsylvania have a
greed to unite for the purpose of
conducting the present state cam
paign, and lie known as the unit
ed greenback and labor state cen
tral committee.
Senator J. .1. Patterson of South
Carolina, was arrested in Wash
ington city on the Gth inst. upon
the requisition of Clov. Hampton
charging him with the crimes of
conspiracy to bribe the members
of the General Assembly, and
counseling and procuring Miles
(1. Parker to commit grand lar
ceny, etc. Patterson sued out a
writ of habeas corpus, and was
admitted to bail in the sum of
$2,500.
Congressman Small (colored)
of South Carolina, was also ar
rested and carried to Columbia on
the Gth inst. for accepting bribes
as a member of the South Caro
lina senate. Ex-Treasurer Cor
doza is still in jail.
There were three new cases of
yellow fever at Port Royal on the
Gth inst. making forty cases in all
' so far.
There were two yellow fever
deaths at Pernandina on the Gth
inst and six new eases.
The Talladega (Ala.) Mountain
Horne says: The people of this
county will not create a demand
for much Western meat the com
ing year. There are too many
hogs in the county and too much
sorghum raised to suit the most
men of the West and the cane
men of Louisianna. So it is, and
so it should always be.
There are thirty one thousand
acres of State lands in Holmes
county, Florida, which can be pur
chased at the rate of seventy five
cents per acre.
Meriwether county, Georgia,
has fifty two registered brandy
stills in operation.
The complete tax returns show'
an increase in the valuation of
property in Georgia of $121,151.
The farmers of Georgia, it is
supposed, will realize nearly two
millions of dollars from their
peach crop this year, sold in a
dried state.
A fourteen acre field near the
city of Georgetown, S. C., has pro
duced 664 bushels of lice, being
an average of 71 bushels to the
acre.
The Dahlonega (Ga.) Si if mil is
enthusiastic over tiie gold region
round about that place, and says:
“We believe our gold fields are
as rich as those of California.—
The more our veins are worked
and developed, the richer they
become—the greater the yield of
gold."
Three thousand bushels of to
niatoes were hauled into Green
wood, Indiana, in one day, and
afterwards throw naw ay because
there'was not help enough to put
them up.
E. O. Fret w ell sold his farm of
380 acres, tour miles from taxing
ton, Kentucky, for #80,454 cash,
an average of #O3 per acre.
Shelby county, Kentucky, is
likely to continue this year the
biggest hog producing county in
the State. She has a good corn
crop, and will put iu the market
iiiis fall about 85.000 good hogs.
It seems that the whole Sandy
V alley, Kentucky, possesses a lar
ger crop of young hogs, at this
season, than has beeu known for
years. The spring shipment of
'Win** w ill therefore be verv larste.
provided the fatal hog disease
does not nip-these hopes in the
hud. So says the Greenup hale
pendent.
Farmers in the neighborhood of
Lebanon. Kentneky, are putting
in large fields of wheat, encour
aged by the grand harvest of this
year, and looking hopefully to the
promises of the coming year.
<)ur merchants are making large
importations in view of a much
heavier fall trade. Everything
seems to point to an early revival
of business. The country is at
peace, and will continue so; the
harvest has been one of unusual
abundance, confidence is being re
stored, and industry is receiving
its legitimate reward.—So says
the Paris (Ky.) Citizen.
Yellow fever is prevailing in
Havana, and all vessels from that
port to New Orleans are rigidly
quarantined hy the latter city.
The N. Orleans Picayune says
the storm of last Sunday week
lasted thirty-six hours in Point
Coupee parish, and destroyed one
half or two thirds of the cotton
crop.
The Terrebone (La.) llepubli
can states that from information
received from the islands off the
Gulf coast, not a vestige of civil
ization remains onCaillou or Tim
bailer islands, on account of the
late storm. Hotels, houses and
evervt hingahove ground is blown
away.
The New Orleans Democrat re
ports great damage to the rice
crop, but says of the sugar cane :
As iu a vast majority of cases, the
notably heavy yields of sugar are
made in our State from cane that
has fallen over or been blown
down in September or October,
it seems reasonable to suppose
that the yield of the cane below
the city, or anywhere in the sit
gar district, will not be decreased
this year hv the storm.
A fearfully destructive hail
storm, says the Winston (N. C.)
Sentinel, swept over the old town
section of this county, on last
Thursday, destroying thousands
of dollars worth of growing to
bacco. The hail was of all sizes
up to as large as a hen’s egg.
(fen. Forest and his son in law,
have 800 acres of cotton and 400
acres of corn just below Memphis.
Specie resumption is practical
ly accomplished in Memphis. The
Memphis banks declined one day
last week to pay a premium for
gold in small pieces sent from the
interior to the city. Greenbacks,
dollar for dollar for the gold, was
offered and accepted.
Eighty thousand cattle are to
be shipped in one lot from Tay
lor, Texas.
While John Robinson’s circus
was on parade lately in the sub
urbs of Springfield, Kentucky,
the largest elephant belonging to
the show' seized hold of a horse
that was loose on the highway;
and threw him high in the air over
a fence,killing the animal instant
ly. The show company very
promptly paid the owner the full
value of the horse.
It is estimated that the loss to
the growing cotton crop, says the
Chattanooga Dispatch, along the
overflowed bottoms of the War
rior will exceed thirty thousand
bales, to say nothing of the loss
in other crops, fences, buildings,
etc. Col. Clements, the speaker
of the Alabama house of repre
sentatives, had 800 acres of cot
ton covered bv the flood, to the
depth of 25 feet.
The Governor has ordered out
the state troops to put down the
threatened county seat war in
VauZandt county, Texas, Will
the people of Georgia have a war
about the removal of the capital! 1
'l’he gin house of Mr- Lee Thorn
ton, of Terrell county, was burned
one night last week.
The Mexican Troubles.
Galveston, Oct. 6.—The News
publishes the following special
from Fort Davis, October 6th :
A Mexican mob, 400 strong,
took possession of the towns of
Ystella and San Elizario,and the
Texas county officials arc prison
ers in the hands of an infuriated
rabble, and their cry is “Death to
Gringos*’ and “Viva Mexico." A
letter received to day at Fort Da
vis states that the Mexicans in
large numbers have captured and
hold in custody all the officers of
El Paso county. The lives of all
white men are threatened. There
are no troops on the frontier, and
a horrible massacre is imminent.
Judge Charles H. Howard is a
prisoner and bound with ropes.
