ANOTHER TURKISH VICTORY.

Particulars Of the battle before Kars,
on Tuesday, Oct. I'd, make it evident
that the Russians assaulted the Turkish
positions along the whole line and were
repulsed with heavy loss. The success
gained, on Tuesday. in the capture of
Great Yagni hill, claimed by the Russi-
ans and conceded by the Turks, did not
compensate for the failure at other points
OF the line, and the POSITIONS carried
have since been abandoned. The Russi-
ans were reinforced both by new troops
and those lately employed against Yag-
nj. 1t was found that Little Yagni was
so strongly fortified that an attempt to
assault it was considered premature. AT
ter thirteen battalions sent from the
Turks to reinforce Mukhtar Pasha had
been repulsed our troops fortified them
selves in the positions they occupied.
Our loss, on Tuesday, was 5000 killed
and wounded. The enemy's losses were
not less. We captured two hundred
men. The Russians also attacked the
centre at Kizilitepe, but were repulsed.
Simultaneously the Russian force NOV
ing from the directions of Ami endeavor-
ed to turn the Turkish right and get be-
tween Mukhtar Pasha and Kars. Of
this affair the Turkish bulletin says
"After five hours fighting the Russian
force of six battalions of infantry and
two regiments of cavalry were driven
back and pursued to the banks of the
Arpachal." Another account of the bat
tie says: The Caucasian contingent
commenced battle at daybreak, Tues
day, by an assault on Great Yagni,
which is the extreme outwork of Mukh-
tar Pasha's Notifications, about IL miles
due east from Kars. Here the Turks
seem to have been taken by surprise
The Turkish battalion defending Great
Yagni was cut to pieces or captured af
ter two hours obstinate defence, which
gave the Turks opportunity to prepare
for the next assault. Up to this point
all accounts agree, but regarding subse
quent events they are very conflicting
The Turkish official dispatch says: A
great battle ensued, lasting Is hours
Repeated Russian attacks were repulseC
with heavy loss. The Turkish bulletin
concludes: ave have gained brillian
victory. and inflicted loss of over 500
on the enemy"

Congress cOnvenes to-day, under tn

Congress convenes to-day, under the
call of the President for an extra session.
This session was called to provide funds
for the support of the Army and Navy,
the jealous and ugly House of Represen-
tatives spitefully refusing to appropriate
funds for their necessary support. The
first contest will be for the election Of a
Speaker. OF course he must be taken
from the democratic ranks, and it now
seems likely that it will be Mr.. Randall.
That any new policy will be initiated,
or any general acts be passed, it is not
to be expected, albeit there will be fresh
opportunity for some political sparring.
Meanwhile. the people will look with
measurable composure upon their pro-
ceedings, and pass judgment, content
that the country is steadily tending to
the ancient normal condition of unity
peace and prosperity. in despite of al
the jeremiades of disappointed asplrant'
and the Examinations of proaigate politi

THE ELECTIONS.

The Republicans were badly defeated
in Ohio, last week, and lose the State
government and one United States sena-
tor by their want of success. The State
is really very close. and is carried by
the Republicans by only few thousand
when they are united and active. This
year they we're lazy and did not attend
the polls. There were several kinds of
tickets in the field which, of course, were
made up largely of Republicans. The
Democrats secure q senator which is a
misfortune, as Pendlcton, the imitation
ist, repudiationist and copperhead will
doubtless get the position. 1t is humil-
iating to see one after another Of those
men who did the most possible to dis
member the Union, and to prolong the
war by their aid to the rebels, come int
places of trust and honor; but reaction
will follow, and the time will come wher
loyalty, intelligence and honesty viii
again triumph.
The election in Iowa has resulted il
the election Of the entire republican
State ticket. if the meagre returns re
ceived are a true index of the facts
Four State tickets were voted fore
publican, Democratic, Greenback ant
Prohibition. The full republican vOt
does not appear to have been drawn out
but there is little doubt that the Legis
lature, in both branches, is decided
republican. Iowa has stood nobl
against the wiles of the imitation an
greenback folly and the prohibitOry ticl
ct policy, and we may believe that he
noble republican record will not soon B
furnished by the misalliances of a pO
ton of the voters.

lowed, Miles was to escape, with what
further aid they could render him. AS
large number of workmen are employed
in this building, such scheme, if sue
cessful, would undoubtedly have result
ed in the loss of many lives.
While the party were visiting the
prison, on Tuesday, the keepers surpris-
ed one of the men attempting to dig out
under the wall. He was put in solitary
confinement in one of the dungeons be-
fore described. This man was one of
their we'll behaved inmates, and the
keepers had put him at work in the

tending to do work here. this man had,
on opportunity, for two weeks past, slip
ped out into a shed near by. and used
odd moments in digging under the wall.
When captured, he had dug down two
or three feet, and then under the wall,
and was working up through on the out
side. While IN this position he was
pounced upon by the keeper and march

DEMONSTRATION IN NEW YoRK.-On
Wednesday evening, 10th inst, in re.
spouse to call for the purpose, a large
number of business men, bankers, mer-
chants and others met at Coopers Insti-
tute to express their appreciation of the
administration of President Hayes.
Prof. Theodore w. Dwight was called to
the chair, and made introductory speech.
Geo. W. Curtis, Esq, made an address.
Resolutions were adopted rejoicing in
the recent and unquestionable evidences
that every clause of the Constitution is
to-day accepted by overwhelming ma
jorities of the citizens of the United
States,-a result mainly due to the con-
idence begotten by the personal character
and unspotted record Of President Hayes,
and to the wisdom of the measures he
has inaugurated, with the advice and
cooperation Of his Cabinet, singularly
able and free from reproach; that the
National Executive brings to the dis
charge Of his responsibilities the same

AUTUMN AUD WINTER PRIvI-
LEGES.

The autumn season has returned,
bringing with it rest and leisure for the
husbandman and the laborer. The
barns, the cellars, and the granaries
have been well filed by the farmer. and
he waits while the soil is locked up
in frost and buried beneath the snow,
for the return of spring. His hay and
grain will be carefully fed to his animals
and be will sell. and exchange for
store commodities, such products as he
has in surplus. The laborer will find
long evenings and occasional days Of
rest during the winter. that can be used
for social or intellectual profit.
The question with all who are partial.
ly relieved from constant and wearisome
occupation, should be. how shall | spend
my leisure hours? The only rational
answer that can be given is, that they
should be spent in that way which con-
duces most to wholesome social enjoyment
or TO moral and Intellectual improve
ment.
The time that is spent 10 aiding
tho over-worked wife and mother, or il
ministering to the happiness of aged
parents. is always we'll spent, and The
hours devoted to the children are pleas
antly and prO6tably spent When thu
duty to the family is well met, there
