CHEYENNE, WYOMING THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 9 1877

was indeed an hour to wiring the stern
est heart. We stayed there to learn, if
it might be, what troops were coming
up the valley of the shadow of death
whether there were, indeed, any at all
to come. The Turks had our range
before dark, and we could watch the
flash of flame over against us, and then
listen to the scream of the shell as it
tore by us. The sound Of rifle bullets
was incessant.
about 9 O'Clock the staff quilted the
ridge, leaving it Uttered with groaning
men, and moving gently lest we should
tread on the prostrate wounded. We
lost our way as we had lost our army.
We could find no rest for the soles of
our feet, by reason of alarms of the
Bashi-Bazouks swarming in among the
scattered and retiring Russians. AT
length, at O'Clock in the morning,
having been in the saddle since 6 on
the previous morning, we turned into
a stubble-feld, and making beds of
reaped grain, correspondent and
Cossack alike rested under the stars. 81

After the Battle.

A correspondent graphically de-
scribes the scene ON the night of the
first days battle of Plevna, after the
first advantage gained by the Russians
had been lost, and the tide of battle had
turned against them: 'sAnd now all
hope of success anywhere was dead.
Nor did the chance offer to make the
best of defeat. Prince Schackoskoy
had not man left to cover his retreat.
The Turks had the upper hand for
once, and were determined to show
they knew how to make the most Of it.
They advanced in swarms through the
dusk on their original first position,
and captured the Russian cannon be-
fore the batteries could be withdrawn.
Turkish shells began once more to
whistle over the ridge above Radishho-
va, and fell into the village behind,
now crammed with wounded. Streams
of wounded, vending their painful way
over the ridge, were incessant. The
badly wounded mostly lay where they
fell.
Later in the darkness the baleful sort
of 'Krankentraeger' swarmed over the
battlefield in the shape Of Bashi Ba-
zouks, who spared not. Lingering
there on the ridge till the moon rose,
the staff could hear from below on the
still night-air the cries of pain and en-
treaties for mercy, and the yells OF
blood-thirsty fanatical triumph. II

German Cremation,

1t appears to be a fact that the
German Society for the introduction of
Cremation has paid the sum of fifteen
thousand marks to the town of Gotha
to cover the necessary expenses of erect
ing cremation apparatus. Strict reg
ulations have also been published by
the police, ordering the examination by
competent medical officers of all bodies
submitted to be burned, so as to prevent
cremation i'll all cases where the causes
of death have not been properly ascer-
tained. In order to still further guard
against abuse, bodies sent to Gotha
from abroad are to be subjected to the
same, or even more stringent rules
befQ1A being accepted for operation.
At ht3t no corpse is to be burned un-
less the deceased had expressed a wish
to that effect, and the relatives have
approved.

gomery have set about getting up
petitions to the Postmaster Gen
eral. asking him to contract with
some suitable person to carry the
United States mail from Colfax to
Montgomery; and also asking
Congress to establish the said
route at its next session. I pre-
pared and circulated a petition at
WINFIELD, which was signed read
lily and without any opposition, as
everyone OF this community favors
the change. ] horo that TIE citi-
zens OF Grart parish will verify
their Willingness and approval at
once by CITING up and signing
proper petitions and sending them
TO the United States Postmaster
General; not forgetting, however.
