II is outposts were driven in. and the fighting resulted in Ihe killing and wounding of 5,00 Russians. The Turkish loss is not stated. The porte, in a despatch to its representatives abroad, claims Iluit Muhktar l*asha gained an overwhelming victory. London, October 5. A Daily New's special from Vienna says: A report from fieri in states that hv Emperor William’s special ol der :i note has been sent to Con stuntinople very earnestly urg ing that the principles of human ity should be no longer violated. The note does not exactly threat en the Turks, but leaves nodoubt ot the high indignation Bk and 'jg l the (iermaii government not intend silently and in to look on. Times' Uustchuk special of Mctoher •'!, says: A renewed Mnnhardment by the Russian Diatteries at tiinrgevo has inllict damage upon the of the house-, are ill litter Only a few remain entire. £ll-I*lll*lllllolll however, is in The health of the garrison militants are good and 1 In* ies few. ion, Octobers.—The Rus sian ollicials acknowledge the loss of 50,000 men up to Sepicm her 27.

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.” Synopsis of the Platform Adopted in TItK UKMOCRATSOF NKW YORK. Albany, Oct.—The following are the features of the democrat ic platform not heretofore tele graphed south : The democratic party of New York reaffirm the following prin ciples set forth in their platform, as adopted in lb7l, now thrice endorsed bv large majorities in this state.

Corporations chartered bv the state always supervisable by the •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. Large and New Arrivals ! AT la. 8.
