LIST. gives an account Of the re-
treat. He says the road from Por-
din to Bulgarini was numbered with
broken and retreating troops,
wholly destitute Of order, officers
without soldiers, soldiers without
officers. without cohesion and most
+ly without arms. At narrow
bridge near Bulgarini there was
wild confusion and a complete
block. Tumbrils, ambulance wag-
ons, provision wagons, officers, led
horses, and carts filed with wound
ed all were jammed in indiscribable
chaos. These had been wounded
all along the road, but the bulk OF
the wounded began a little way
beyond Bulgarini and extended In
an unbroken line seven miles along
the road to Sistova. They were
mostly carried in OK carts, severe
cases in ambulances and large num-
bers tramped on foot. Immense
numbers of 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
in twenty-four hours, wounded as
they were. Nearly all these wound
ed, however, consisted of men who
had somehow managed to walk out
of battle. The bad cases were
mostly left where they fell. A staff
officer with whose estimate | am
inclined to agree thinks the whole
force lost between 5000 and 1000
men killed and wounded. A
brigade of the Thirty-second Diyis-
ion has suffered most heavily.
Beside the terrible loss Of men 1t
sacrificed the imperial banner OF
one of its regiments. The whole
of the Thirtieth Division has been
smitten very sorely. All the three
brigades of Schackesky's command
are for the time in state OF dis
organization.

The New York World pertinently

saw the striking constrast between
the peace and order which have
prevailed south of the Potomac,
and the uproar, peril aud distress
which have run riot through the
north and west, cannot fail to fix
public attention and to turn the
minds of men to the great field
which the south now offers to enter
prise and to emigration. We have
lived long enough on lines of lati-
tude. 1t is time we awake to the
fact that commerce never greatly
thrives nor long, except on lines OF
longitude. The vicious systems OF
trade and finance which have over
grown us since the outbreak of the
civil war must be shattered and
cleared away before this country
can really enter upon new career
of real Prosperity.

clcctlon-day two were killed, and since that
time Mcssrs. II. &. Elcau, Jack Hooper,
George Cox, and William Stanley have laid
low i've more in the neiyhborhood OF New
Store. This party have also killed forty
wild turkeys this fail. One of the bucks
killed was 80 heavy that ii took four able
bodied men to lift il. The hide measured
seven feet III length. 1t is stated that in
those portions OF Buckingham where there
are large bodies OF forest many deer
abound, while the underground and un-
cropped grass Of large Uncultivated farms
present inviting fields to this species OF
Wild game. Wild turkeys have also
increased in number. and smaller game,
such as pbeasants, cartridges, DC, have
multiplied exceedingly. In this whole sec
ton Of country, when the time has expired
by law fortlddlng persons to shoot turkeys
and partrldges under penalty, there was on
the very next day, early in the morning, a
general turnout OF the hunters, and sad
havoc was made upon the unsuspcctinS
