The Daily Ne,es' correspondent with
Prince Shsckosky's force telegraphs
from Simmitra, under date of August
LIST, and gives an account of the retreat.
He says the road from Ponred in to Bull
garia was encountered with broken and
retreating troops wholly destitute OF or
der. Officers without soluiers, soldiers
without officers, without cohesion. and
mostly without arms. At the narrow
bridge near Bulgsrenit there was
the widest confusion. and complete
blocks, tumbrils, ambulance wagons of
officers, calaches, led horses and carts
filed with wounded all ja'amed in IN
describsle chaos. There had been
wounded sll along the road, but the
bulk of the wounded began u little be-
yond Bulgarini, and extended in an
unbroken line for seven miles along
the road TO Sistova. They were mostly
carried in ex carts, the sveere cases in
ambulauces, aud large numbers
tramped on foot. Immense numbers OF
the wounded had tramped the whole
way from the battle field, and were
already entering Sistova at six o'clock
yesterday evening. They must have
walked forty miles i'll twenty-iour
hours, wounded rs they were. Nearly
all these wounded. however, consisted
of men who had somehow managed TO
walk out of the battle. The bad cases
were mostly left where they fell. The
staff cf officers, with whose es.imass
l am inclined TO agree, think the whole
force lost between six and seven
thousand killed and wounded. A
brigade Of the SD Division suffered
the most heavily. Besides its terrible
loss Of men. il sacrificed the imperial
banner of one of its regiments. The
whole of the 30th Division has been
smi.ten very sorely. All the brigades
of Shackosky's command are for the
time in . state of DISCRIMINATION.
