s'Gen. Gibbon, with about two hundred

gan and Lieut.. Bradley are reported
killed, and Gen. Gibbon Slightly wound

twenty-five miles. Have pressed every

COLUMBUS, August 10.-A meeting

in this city last night, adopted resolu-

Hayes for his Southern policy, and de-
clairing that the second resolution in
the platform adopted by the republican
State convention at Cleaveland Is incoa-
sistent with its protested declaration OF
fidelity to the principles of the republi-

upon the republicans at Ohio, and I'M
worthy OF the grand record Of the party.

Mere Russian Disasters-Has There Beer
Recent Battle at Plevna?
ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS

ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.
LONDON, August 9.--Early on Tues
day morning, the It'll instant, the Rus
slams advanced to the attack, opening
with the usual fire of artillery, which
played fiercely on the Turkish position.
The Turkish artillerymen replied with
equal vigor, and the duel with cannon
was kept up for considerable time
Under cover of the roar and smoke of
the guns movement was made by the
Russians on the TANKS and the centre
of the Turkish position. The Russian
infantry poured in masses on the Turk
ish works, and were received, with the
logged resistance that has always char
acterized the Turks behind entrench-
ments. A firm and bitter fire was kept
up on the assailants, under which they
recoiled, and at last fell back repulsed,
leaving the ground in front Of the Turk
ish works covered with dead and wound
ed. The repulse was only temporary,
however, for the Russians, with splen-
did gallantry, reformed and charged
again and again upon the obstinate de-
Tenders, but with the same unavailing
and dreadfully fatal results as in the
first onset. Nothing but undaunted
pluck could have withstood the Russian
assaults, persisted in against murder
Gus fire from rifles and cannon that
plowed their ranks through and through
as they advanced.
All the day this fearful fight went on,
the Russians hurting themselves with
desperate courage on the entertainments
of the Turks, and as steadily being re-
pulsed, every assault leaving its CHASTITY
contribution to the dead and wounded.
Only at the close Of the day, when the
Russian line staggered before the Turk
ish fire, did Osman Pasha give the word
to attack, and from a firm and steady
defense the Turks assumed the Often
sive, rushing upon their foes with over
whelming force and audacity, and at
night Osman Pasha was victorious along
the entire line Of battle. The losses on
both sides were heavy, but heaviest on
the Russian side, from the openness,
boldness and persistency of their at
tacks, and the comparative sheltered
position of the Turks.
The Turkish government has inform
ed the British ambassador at Constan-
tinople that they will themselves, with
out assistance, be able to defend CALI
poll against any attacking force. En-
gineers are now at work on the fortifi-
cations.

Workingmen's political conventions
were held last week in Cleveland, CO.
lumbus, st. Louis and Philadelphia, at
which steps were taken looking to the
nomination Of city, State and county
officers. A similar movement is in pro-
gress in Maryland, and will, doubtless,
manifest itself in all the Northern
States at an early date. The politi-
clans of that section, dreading the pop
ularity of the move, are either attempt
ing to sail with it, as IN the case Of Mr..
West, the republican candidate for
Governor of Ohio, or, to lead it, and at
tempt byits means to reach the highest
position in the country, as viii probably
be the case with Gen. Butler. The
''workingmen's," like the know-noth-
ing, party will have its greatest
strength in the North, and may be sue
eessful IN some ofthe cities Of the South,
as it was last week in Louisville, by
uniting with the radical and negro vote.

in the spring of 1862 he was elected a
fieidsofhcer, and after going through
the battle of Mcdowell, Winchester
and Port Republic, and around Rich
mond, he lost his arm at Cedar Noun
tain, never having missed battle nor
been absent day from his command.
Several times he attempted to return
to the field, but was prevented by his
wound Since the war he has been
compelled to have painful operation
performed. Being unable to undergo
service in the field he was elected to
the Confederate Congress from the
Winchester district, and served until
the end of the war. General Jackson
reposed SO mush confidence in him
that he proposed to recommend him
for promotion to brigadleship, but
understood from his surgeons that he
was unfit for service in the field.
Being unable to return to the field,
Colonel Holiday became candidate
