them, and the Cossacks dragged them off to
kurukdere, leaving part of their forces In
the position of which two regiments of cav
airy and some companies of infantry had
taken possession in the morning, under the
orders of Ismail Pasha.
In this engagement the Bashi-Bazouks
acted with great bravery, and of their whole
number only 500 or 600 took to flight. On
both sides there were some deserters.
1t is impossible to say on which side the
victory was declared The two armies
fought bravely; that of the Russians, how
ever, was superior in numbers, and the
Turkish cavalry could render no aid to the
rest of the army. While we must attribute
a great part of the loss of the Turkish SOL
diery to the Cossacks, Circassians and dra-
goons, who went up to the very ranks OF
their infantry, to attack them, though de-
Tending themselves with the bayonet, we
must admit that the Turkish soldiers fought
the best, and that they made up for any def
cheney of their numbers by the great quick
ness and exactitude of their maneuvers.
The two parties agreed to an armistice Of
two days, in order to give time to bury their
dead. Thus, although the Turks and Cos
sacks again met on the field, it was with a
very different mission, and they regarded
each other very TRANQUILITY and like old
friends
The presence of mind and the valor of
Tariff Mustapha Pasha, who was always
present with the troops in the heat of bat
tie, contributed much to rally the soldiers,
whom the carnage had intimidated and
many who had taken to flight, animated by
his voice, returned to die gloriously, with
their arms in their hands, on the bloody
field.
An extraordinary courier, who arrived to-
day. announces that several Russian Gener-
ais had fallen in the battle, and among the
troops the number of dead is much more
considerable than was reported.
A Russian General deserted and passed
over to the Turks during the retreat.
The above account is evidently as favora-
BILE as possible to the Turks, but it is sub
stantially corroborated even by the official
bulletin of Prince Beboutof, published in
the Journal de St. Petersburg. .-[Cor. Lon

lowA-The Dubuque Observer says the
Whig candidate for the Senate in the Polk
county district, has received his certificate
of election. This gives the Wings one ma
iority in the Senate of that State, and will
secure the election of Wing U. S. Senator
1t was hoped by the Nebraska men that they
would be able to control the Senate, and
thus prevent the choice of Senator by re-
fusing to go into an election. Even this
desperate remedy is gone, and with it goes
the last hope of augustus Caesar Dodge.
B. w. Richmond writes letter to the
New York Tribune to say that a great change
lis going on in the atmosphere which will
result in period of terrible and universal
disease. But for the drouth of the summer
he says America would now be one vast
hospital. The numerous earthquakes of the
past year in Asia and America are proof of
this great atmospheric change. Our present
drouth is to be followed by a succession of
long and severe winters and wet and cold
summers. Diseases among all classes of ami

to come for some years we may look for more
sickness among the human race. The far

stock, feed should be ground and cut and
cattle carefully housed to prevent chill and

be used in the cities to prepare and preserve
healthy vegetables and meats, since during
such periods fruits and meat exhibit a strong
tendency to decomposition. Slaughter
houses should be carefully cleansed and mar
kets subjected to the strictest sanitary regu
