Gen. ScobeloH.

Before Plevna Correspondence London Times.
Maj.-Gen. Scobeloffis character-cne
of the most striking men / have ever
met; he is a son of Lieut.. Gen Scobeloff,
of the Russian army, and has been in
every campaign the Russians have had
since he was old enough to enter the
field. In khOkand, where everything
was considered in critical state, young
Scobeloff was left to cover the rear of
the army with five battalions and twenty
guns. His elders in rank and years had
selected him to bear the disgrace of the
expected catastrophe; but he did not
fancy this situation of affairs, attacked
the enemy Numbering forty battalions)
in the night, threw them into a panic,
and utterly routed them, remaining
master of the province. For this he was
made Major-General at 81, and became
the object of much envy and calumny at
the hands of the officers, whose heads
he had passed over. At the recent battle
of Plevna he had his brigade Of Cossacks
and battalion of infantry, the latter
numbering about 700 men. Three hun
dred and forty of this battalion fell in
the desperate contest, 10 of them being
killed outright; unsupported, the rem
nant were compelled to fall back, but
they retreated in good order, bringing
away ali the wounded, and actually left
the deadly line of battle singing one of
their wild but very melodious mountain
airs. A Major-General, 33 years of age,
tall and handsome, Scobeloff is the ideal
of a beau sobrear of the old Murat type.
Brave almost to recklessness, yet possess
ing a certain shrewd aptitude for esti-
mating chances and the strength of po-
campaign should his carelessness of per-
sonal danger not bring him before some
fatal bullet-he has already been wound
ed six times during his career.

limited extent to which this centennial
