RUSSIAN ARMY OPERATIONS.
From the dates Of the last dispatches to the
11fb 1OSn

lin september, 1879.
Berlin, Oct. 3. We have the official re-
ports of Count Diebitsch from the 81 to IIth
September, new style. Their interest is
lessened by the news of the conclusion of
an honorable peace; but they afford add-
tional proof of the skill and Judgment of
this renowned Commander. The following
summary Of the army operations may be
interesting to some readers.
Sept. 3 to 8. Prior to these days de-
tachments of Cossacks, light troops, and
horse artillery were sent from Adrianople
on the roads leading to Constantinople
as far DIS Chamauli, Damoico, Karistan,
Lule Bourgas, Kirk-Kalissa, Vera, Ipsala,
and Enos. No opposition was made to
the most of them; and some of the Cos
sacks penetrated near to the old Roman
wall, within view Of the capital The OBJ
| Ject OF the movement to Enos was the
! opening OF communication with Admiral
Hayden, whose fleet had been ordered bv
the Emperor TO assemble in the gulpb al
Saros, to cooperate with the mann army.
The Russian General, Siewers, met with
some opposition on approaching Enos.-
The Ayan had resolved to defend the cita

IN them, and having only single gate.
But the Turk, on seeing arrangements
made by the Russian General to carry the
post by storm, came out, and agreed to
surrender his strong hold. The Russian
trophies taken in this last enterprise of the
war, were 81 pieces of cannon and large
quantity of munitions of war. The KEYS
and the standard of Enos were presented
to the Emperor; and vessel was sen,
with dispatches to the Russian Admiral.

others the speech was very short. The sa-
bre is two feet and half long, curved to-
wards the point; and the executioner yields
it with both hands with such ease, that the
point always struck against the pavement.
The head, which sometimes rolled several
PAGES, was placed under the criminals arm
with the face turned towards the feet. The
heads OF those who were not Turks were
placed between. their feet. A label in the
form of heart stated the crime of the de-
llnquent; it was fixed on the body, and both
left exposed. Formerly the exposition was
Tor three days, bnt now the bodies are cast
into the sea the following morning. The
number OF those lately executed is said to
exceed 800. Among them are l6 of the
Chiefs of the Guilds; all the others are de-
prlved of their Offices. A Jew, who had
love intrigue with Turkish female, was
hanged. A Greek was heheaded for saying
to tailor, &C So you still make those trow-
sers" (vlZ. for the new regular troops.1 A
Turkish woman was hanged in a sack for
attempting to fire house. The same fate
was allotted to two Turks for attempting TO
set fire, fortnight ago, TO the Sultan's new
Palace, on the Asiatic side of the Bospho-
rus. Only one instance is known in which
the Seraskier, who directs the investigation,
showed some indulgence: pardon was not
to be thought of. One of the Janssaries
begged for his life, saying lie had wife
and children to support: the Seraskier sent
for them, and said, "Your children are now
my children, and your wife shall receive,
monthly, sufficient for her support you may
therefore be easy" The children were i'm
mediately sent to the Harem of The Seras-
kier, but the father was Immediately behead-
ed. 1t is said that on the occupation of
Adrianople, the Greeks were guilty of acts
OF violence to some Turks, and pulled them
ny the beard, but they were punished by the
Russians with the knout."

on payment of the second, the Danube to
be re-crossed on payment of the third, and
the Ottoman territory entirely evacuated on
payment of the whole.
.4d,iGnople, Sept. IA. Peace was signed
this morning, and orders sent in all direc-
tons for the entire cessation of hostilitles.
Full indemnity is granted for all past con-
duct and opinions: and leave given to the
Mahomedans who have turned Christians
to remove into the Principalities, and vice
versa.
London, October 16. Letters from Paris,
dated "Wednesday night, say that the appeal
made by the Sultan when he threw himself
upon the generosity of the Emperor Nicho-
las. after having accepted the terms dictated
by Gen. Diebitsch, mas been answered in a
manner consistent with the original profess
sons of the Russian Autocrat, and his high
character for moderation and magnanimity.
They state the receipt of advices from St.
Petersburg, by the French Government,
announcing that the Emperor Nicholas had
consented to admit of such notifications of
the terms of the Treaty, as to render it
less onerous for the Turks, and less obnox-
ious to the other Powers of Europe" The
precise nature of the proposed notifications
was not known, but it was reported on "very
good authority" that they principally appli-
ed to the amount of the indemnity for the
expenses of the war, as it was that amount
which would regulate the length of time
which the Russian troops should occupy the
Principalitles.--A French paper asserts,
( that the amount of the War Indemnity was
not mentioned in the body of the Treaty,
at the request of the Sultan, who feared that
if it were stated openly that he had con-
scented to pay such IA sum by regular install
ments in so many years, his subjects would
! conceive that he had become tributary to
Russia, and would lose all respect for him,
if they did not actually rebel. He is said,
therefore, to have asked as favor, that it
should form separate article or convention,
which should be kept secret as long as he
pleased. 1t is more likely, however, that
the amount was not mentioned because
Gen. Dlebitsch himself well knew that the
Sultan would not appeal in vain to the gen.
crosby Of his master; and that the sum
which he, as Commander-in- Chief of the
Army, and consequently competent Judge
OF the expenses Of the war, thought it his
duty to impose on an enemy who had re-
peatedly rejected peace, and then lay help
less at his feet, would be reduced hy that
authority which alone could decide who
should bear the heavy burden incurred, and
settle its proportions.

BURLINGToN. Nov. II.


SHOCKING CASUALTY. In this town, on
Wednesday, The llth inst, Normand Hum
phreys, an estimabe man and skilful me-
chanic, was engaged In grinding axes upon
a large grindstone propelled by a water
wheel, the end of the shaft of which, being
about l8 inches in diameter, was mounted
with iron cogs and played upon another
piece of similar machinery attached to the
shaft of the grindstone, causing it to revolve
with great rapidty. Some trifling fixture,
near this machinery, called the attention of
Mr.. H., thither, ard laying aside an axe
which he was polishing, he proceeded to
the spot inadvertently taking position that
brought the cape of his loose coat into con-
tact with the revolving iron teeth just des-
cribed. That was the last moment of his
existence. The head of the unfortunate
man was instantaneously trundled through
the cogs and torn in pieces. Parts of the
large wheel were dyed with blood, and
here and there were to be seen small por-
tons of the flesh, &c., adherng to the wood
work, which were fragments of the head
and brains of the deceased.

CoNsTANrINopLE, Sept. 4,
Against the opinion of most people here,
from the events of the last month, the Rus
sian army has stopped short of this place ;
and the emperor appears to he inclined to
moderation. The fuflment of the treaty
of Akermann is, | believe, what he de-
mands. The question of Greece is of
course to be settled, and the frais de Ia
guerre to be paid: this last will press heav-
lily on the Sutan,-not so much, | should
imagine, on his purse, as on his avarice /:
tor he must have treasures,--since, for
ages, the wealth of the empire has merged
IN the seraglio. If the Pashas, by oppres-
sion, cxhort riches, the Sultan, who argues
that all their profits are derived from his
favor, retakes his own; if the Armenian
bankers become wealthy, the Greek princes
opulent-by virtue of the bow-string. or
exile, he is their heir in short, Turkey is
his appendage, and its inhabitants his prop
erty; and, excepting the great Asiatic fam
llles OF Oglou, no man can call the purse in
his pocket his own, nor depend upon the
land he has cultivated descending to his
children. General Diebitsch is encamneI
around Adrianople (of which place he is the
mastery with about 10000 troops: his nd.
vance occupies Demotico, a town on the
Marlzzo, (ancient Hebrus) six hours to the
southwaici of the former; and in other par.
risons, this side of the Balkan, he NAV have
10000 more men: reinforcements are cross-
ing the mountains. His army, on dill. is sn-
peTb, and its discipline exemplary: every
thing is paid for, and the Cossacks are not
permitted to proceed on the advanced
guards, for fear Of their maraudinq pro-
pensltles. The various towns are perfectly

The tone OF the stomach, which in Septem-

1t IS fact that those men live the long

it increases the warmth of the body by

The GOODNESS of the spring is damp and

RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION.

The following is an extract from the nanifcs-
to OF the Emperor Nicholas, amounting the
conclusion of Peace with Turkey:
In these days of combat and glo,y. con-
stantiy free from all desire of conqrest, we
nave never ceased to invite the Forte to
concur In establishing harmony between
the two empires. The Commanders of our
armies, after every victory, hastenei by our
order to offer to it peace and friendship.
Nevertheless, our efforts were always fruit
less. 1t was not till he saw our standards
displayed not far from his capital, that the
S''l'"'A moo ~ lanuth sensible fram our con-
duct, that our object was not to overturn his
throne, but to obtain the execution of the
Treaties. Being then convinced of the pu-
rlty of our intentions, he held out his hand
TO receive that peace which had been so of
ten proposed to him. 1t promises to Russia
happy and prosperous results. The blood
OF our warriors is redeemed by numerous
advantages. The passage Of the Darda-
nelles and the Bosphorus is henceforward
free and open 20 the commerce of all the
nations of the world. The security of our
frontiers, especially on the Asiatic side, is
for ever guaranteed by the incorporation
with the empire of the fortresses of Anapa,
Poti, Akhalizik, Atlzkour, and Akhalkalaki
Our preceding Treaties with the Porte
are confirmed by it, and re-established in
all their force. Just indemnites are Sc
cured for the expenses of the war, and the
individual losses experienced by our sub
Jects. The scourge of the plague, which
has so often threatened the southern prov
nces of Russia, will in future be checked
by double barrier, by means of the estab-
lshment of line of quarantine on the banks
Of the Danube, agreed to on both sides,
Our solicitude has also been extended to
the fate of the nations protesting our relig-
ion, who are subject to the Ottoman dornin-
ion. The ancient privileges of the princi-
palltles of Moldavia and Wallachia have
been sanctioned, and their welfare consoli-
dated by new advantages. The rights grant
ed to the Servians by the Treaty of Bucha-
rest, and confirmed by the Convention Of
AkeTmann we're still suspended in their ap-
pllcation. These stipuations will hence
forward De faithfully observed. The politi-
cal existence of Greece, determined by Rus
STA in concert with the Allied Courts of
France and England, has been formally
recognized by the Ottoman Porte.

so thinned the ranks of the supporters of
the house OF Braganza, that but few remain
behind to glut his ready engines of torture
and death. Nevertheless, he pronounces
his sentences of humiliation, as drill-ser-
geants exercise their jaunty recruits, mere
ly to keep them in practice. All the patri-
OTIS of the Oporto expedition have been con-
demned to be executed, although many of
them are in exile, and the rest dead
