THE ATROCITIES IN BJIG4RIA.
tCOrrespou&ent of tas LOnd, n Vows,

| IATAR BAZARDJIK, August, III have
| JGat seen the town of Batok, with Mr.
Schuyler. Mr.. Barring was there yesterday,
Here Is what saw. On approaching the
toWn, on hill there were some dogs. They
| ran away, and We found on this spot q num-
Der st SIX nils scattered about and enc ehast-
Is heap OF skeR tons with clothing. 1
uAted from the saddle 100 sk ans, picked
and Ackea clean, all of women and children.
We entered the town. On every side we've
skulls and skeletons charred, among the
ruins, or lying entire where they fell IN
their closhing. There were skeletops of
girls and women with long brown hafY
hanging to the skulls. We approached she
church There these remains were fro
4uent, Ontil the gSeUnd was literally Gov
cred with skeletons, skulls and pnsrifyiDg
bodies in clothing. Between the ohurc6
and the school they were heaps. The
stencil was feayfa. We entered the
chGrchyard. The sight was-Dore Dreadful.
The whole churchyard for three feet deep
wac fostering With dead bodies partly COY
eTed-han0s, legs, aTn1s and heaG1s p3ojectsd
In ghastly profus;on. / saw maay litti.,
hands, heads and feet of children Of three
years of age, and girls, with heade covered
with beautiful hair. The church was ssiIl
worse. The floor wos covered with rotting
bodies quite uncoFeTed. l never imagined !
any thing SO fearful. There were 3, 900
bodies III the churehyard aad church. We
were obliged to bold tobacco to our noses. ]
and children had been burnt alive. All |
over the town there were the same scenes. |
In some places heaps of bodies buried in
shallow holes had been uncovered by the |
dogs. The banks of the little stream were |
covered with bodies. Many bodies had |
been carried to Tatar BRzardjik, distance |
of thirty miles, The town had 9, 900 in-
habitaDts. There now remains 200. Many |
who escaped had returned recently, weep !
ing and moaning over their ruined homes. |
Their SORROW fHl wailing could be heard half !
q mile off. Some were digging out the /
skeletons of loved ones. a woman was
sitting mourning over three small skulls
with hairs elinglng to them, which she had
in her lap. The man who did all this,
Aohmed Aga, has been promoted, and is
still Governor of the district. The news
paper accounts wore not exaggerated. They
could not be. No crime invented by Tark-
lsh ferocity was left uneommitted. Seven
thousand bodies have been lying here since
May l2, rotting in the sun, preyed upon by
dogs.

fought at Antietam. at Gettysburg at Dallas,

doubt if he has ever felt so deep
pride in any of those achievements as
he has grown to feel in the promised success
of the great labor now in hand, or so dis
turbing an anxiety that it should be safely
done with at this supreme moment. For
from the time the charges were prepared
and the mine flooded till the hour when
the tide shall be at the proper point not an
instant is without peril. Here are the
charges prepared that are to be exploded by
electricity, and the batteries are ready.
Suppose thunder storm comes up? Who
can say at this season when one may not
come? Can any man guarantee the mine in
that case? And the'worst result might not be
that some houses at Astoria were shaken about
the ears Of their occupants, or that few
boats were destroyed in the river, but that
the eccentric fluid should not do the work
regularly and thoroughly. Electrical acci-
dents are but one source of danger and
several other sources of arrangement and

The Gypsy Land.

The gypsies are the most mysterious OF
all races. Their origin is supposed to- be
Egyptian, and they themselves believe it.
but it is only matter Of conjecture.
In all lands and in all ages they
preserve their characteristics and their
nomadic habits. They never assimilate with
the people with whom they mingle. though
they are necessarily influenced by associa-
tions. The Hungarian gypsies differ from
the English, but the fundamental resem-
blance is strong. 1t is seldom that
settled gypsy can be found. Like
Cain they wander over the face of the earth,
and even when they are civilized on the sur
face they preserve an inner wildness. They
are moved by spirit of restlessness that
hurries them from place to place, as
if pursued by fear or in pursuit
of hope. Those who have read
George Barrow's bible in Spain" will
remember the marvellous stories of the
character and habits of the Spanish gypsies,
their beauty, their bravery, their cunning
and their pride Just such beings as these
he describes, modified by American society,
are the gypsies now encamped at Hunters
Point They cannot live in houses, nor
anywhere but beneath the open sky. The
tent is their home, and Of the wagon that
carries them in the day they make their bed
at night. Certainly the account we print
to-day shows that this strange people
still retain their primitive character,
and are nomads and fortune tellers
to the end. This picturesque camp, with
its chief, who trades in horses; its queen,
swarthy. mercenary, beautiful, who tells
fortunes for money; its children playing in
the tent among the trees, is piece of the
Orient set down in the Occident. It is the
oldest vagabondage in the world contrasted
with the youngest civilization.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

Professor Huxley cut short his visit to the
United States and sailed for home yesterday
without having made much of a sensation
here. Very few ministers in this city or
Brooklyn will increase his notoriety by any
reference to him or his theories. Dr. Ry-
lance, however, will counteract the Profess
sor's theory by showing that Gods image is
in man and that toleration and liberality in
religious belief are not necessarily inconsis-
tent with the Scriptures. Paul's challenge
to the atheists and sceptics of his day will
be repeated by Dr. Hepworth TO those of this
day and city, and be will demonstrate that
Jesus is the only king. That great apostles

Christ will be made basis by which DR..

will be brought into prominence by
Mr.. Kennard, and the responsibility
OF knowing Christ as the worlds conqueror
will be pointed out by Mr.. Leavell. Thomas,
the honest doubter, will do his part for Mr..
Lightbourn, and the failure of the Church and
the ministry to win men to Christ because
through lack of faith both fail to launch ont
into deep water, will receive correction and
condemnation at the lips of DR.. Knapp,
while Mr.. Sweetser will enforce the necessity

The Strike i'm the Rice Fields.

There is new strike among the negroes
employed on the rice plantations in South
Carolina. The strikers have it is reported,
attacked the people who are willing to work,
and the latter at once cry out for federal
troops to protect them and appeal to
United States court. Where is Governor
Chamberlain? The poor negroes, too long
taught to look only to the federal power for
help in all their troubles, know no better ;
they do not know what local government
means. How should they. when they have
seen the Governor of the State himself rush.
ing to Washington to report riot instead
of doing his sworn duty?
General Wade Hampton spoke to the
purpose the other day when he said,
"Whatever / may be able to do for you if
you place me in the chair of Governor. if
cannot suppress riot, if cannot so to the
people of Carolina, white and black and say
to them these are the laws and you must up
hold and enforce them, if 1 cannot appeal
to Carolinas sons to support me in the laws
that am sworn TO maintain, then cast me
out with scorn from the office that l dis
honor"
That is sound to the core. 1t is the great
est crime of those who have misruled in the
Southern States like Kellogg in Louisiana
aud Chamberlain in South Carolina, that
they have not enforced the laws, and have
thus encouraged lawlessness, and, at the
same time, misled the ignorant blacks who
trusted them.

JUPITER PLUvrus will evidently settle the
work of stopping the war in Servia, even if
the other great Powers should fail to induce
the Turks to prolong the armistice. For the
moment it looks as though peaceful infu-
snces were in the ascendant, but in the
doubtful temper of the opposing forces
here is little to bo relied upon as guide
60 the future. England. heartily ashamed
of her Turkish ally, will not be gingerly in
giving the Porte advice, and Russia may
find herself without an excuse for egging on
the Servians to battle when the weather will
no longer admit of the movements of troops.

ard had deserved welcome at Cooper Inst-
tute on Friday evening. He is one of the
most thoughtful statesmen on the demo-
cratic side, and his speech was, what was to
be expected of him, a calm survey of the polit-
ical situation, full of suggestions OF needed
reforms and of warning to the people of the
evil tendencies of misgovernment in its
various shapes. He spoke with warning
voice Of the dangers of Capitalization and
of the necessity for strict obedience to law,
both in the citizens and their rulers. 1t is
refreshing, in this canvass Of abuse, 70 hear
the voice Of o statesman.

Indians a. Soldiers.

We suggested to Congress and she War
Department some time ago the propriety Of
regularly enlisting the friendly Indians who
are not yet engaged in agriculture or other
useful occupations, and using them as sol-
diers to fight such hostile bands as those
under Sitting Bull. 1t seems that Captain
Mcdonald, of California, has offered to raise
a regiment Of Indians, drill them thor
oughly and furnish them within three
months to the government His offer waa
declined with thanks" by the War De-
partment Why? For service on the
Plains we could not have better troops than
the Indians, thoroughly drilled and disci-
plined would make; and while thus serving
the government they would be earning a
support for their families and getting civ
ilized in the most effective way in which
savages can be made to take on the habits
and customs Of civilization. To enlist three
or four regiments of Indians would be the
cheapest and most effective way Of dealing
with the Indian question. 1t would, to be
sure. be fatal blow at the Indian Ring; and
that is probably the reason why Captain
McDonald's offer was declined.
