From Russian sources General NJ onraviefF's
report and . letter from Trebizond, we have
accounts Of the repulse ofihe Russians, with
great loss, 10 an attack which they made on
the fortress Of Kars, Sept. 20, Gen. Mours.
vieff says:
A. the beginning the attack was success
full, but The position and numbers Of The en-
envy forced Us TO withdraw. No,wi,hs,snd.
ing this and heavy loss, our troops took
fourteen banners and stand Of colors. The
blockade Of Kars is re-esiabIished.
The account via Trebizond gives more
and states that the Russians
we're determined TO raise the siege. J. s,s,es
that al one tine the Russians succeeded in
taking two batteries. but before they had
time 10 turn round the guns or even 10 spike
them, the Turks rushed upon them with
such vigoF ss 10 regain possession of the
batteries aud decide The fortune Of the dsy.
The Russisns, furiously repuIsed, fell back
upon their comrades, who were thrown into
confusion. The Turks then rushed ou, of
the fortress and mssescred an enormous
humber. This accoun. states that, though
q large number of killed end wounded Rus
slams were removed, 1000 were left dead
under the walls. Two hundred were ticker
prisoners, end some pieces Of ordnance
captured.
Several Russian officers Of high rank
were killed or wounded early in the action,
