The RuSSiO-TurkiSh War,

Dispatches from London, as late as
the 9th state, that the Russian COM
mander, after requesting the Roumani-
ans to occupy Nikopolis, SO that the
Russian garrison might be able to act
against the Turks from Plevna, appears
to have succeeded in concentrating suf-
ficient troops around Plevna to enable
him to dispense with the Nikopolis gar
rison. Thereupon the Roumanians
were informed that their divisions would
not be needed These matters are I'M
portant, proving the existence of an un-
derstanding, by which the Roumanian
troops are to be called upon when need
ed, and also that the Russians do not
anticipate any danger from the Turks
at Plevna.

RUSTCHUK.

1t is believed the Russians have COM
pleted their line around Rustchuk,
which has been advanced in some
places near enough for them to throw
shells as far as the inner line of fortifca-
tions, but the actual siege has not yet
begun. Reinforcements have been sent
from the Czarowitch's army around
Rustchuk, to join the Russians before

SILISTRIA.

A dispatch from Kalarash says the
Russian shells have already caused sew
eral fires in Silistria This, however, is
unconfirmed, and thought to be highly
improbable.

TO BE REINFORCED.


Official intelligence from Vienna states
that ninety thousand men are on the
way to reinforce the Russian Caucasian
army. Three brigades of foot artillery,
with forty-eight guns each, and ten bat
teries of Cossack artillery, with sixty
guns, have already arrived at Tifis. The
Russian artillery there will shortly be
reinforced by 204 guns, and only then
will fresh advance be attempted into
Armenia in order to gain some fortified
places before winter sets In.
HEAVY FIGHTING EXPECTED
The Turks in and around Kars and
Erzeroum report that the movements Of
the Russian armies are such as to indi-
cate that hard battle will be fought
within a few days.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
An official dispatch from Biela an
nounces that the Russian steamer Mich
olas and two sloops arrived with cannon
and mitraileuses and engaged the Turk
ish monitor near Silistria. She was set
on fire and considerably damaged, and
several of her crew killed and wounded.
The Russian vessels sustained insignif-
icant damages, and no less than five
Turkish steamers and two monitors,
going from Rustchuk to Silistria, on the
23d, were attacked by the Sabosia bat
teries, and three of the steamers burnt
and one sunk.

A special from Vienna says that the
peace rumors still circulate, and every
body is convinced they are the result of
an understanding between three great
powers. 1t is felt that moment for
action is approaching. The barbarities
committed by Mohammedans at all
points, as well as by Russians and Bull
garians, will no longer allow an uncon-
cerned view of the position of the unfor-
tunate Christian population. Austro-
Hungary, in particular, is strongly in
terested. The schemes attributed to
England of occupying, first, Gallipoli,
and next, perhaps, Constantinople, do
not preclude the belief in an early
peace.

q pleasure to see the youth OF America
recognizing the value OF journalism as en-
intellectual exercise, and SO far the minia-
ture press deserves encouragement. But
the usefulness of q national convention Is
not plain to us, Tor Its purposes arc
not clearly defined If the principal
business of the convention is to
elect a president and a set Of officers 1T can
do little good, for such contests only dis
tract the attention OF the young
editors from their legitimate duties
Some months ago we had an illustration OF
the danger of introducing the elements
of party feeling into such assemblies
in the disputes OF the amateur
journalists in this city We trust and be-
lieve that the National Convention will set o
higher example, worthy of its own dignity
md honor The election of officers should
be subordinate to the cultivation of spirit
of fraternity and the devising Of practical
measures to secure good ends. We
should be glad if the Convention
would give some of its time to the discus
sion of the practical and mechanical side OF
newspapers. It requires much more than
the mere skill of writing we'll to make
journalist, and it would be interesting to
learn how much our young friends
know of paper making, type setting,
presses, stereotyping and the different
processes through which their thoughts
pass before they are delivered to the world.
Such an interchange Of views would be OF
great value md would tend to place the
amateur journalism of the United
States in the position where we desire
to see it, that Of an influential
and permanent power. We would not have
it rival of professional journalism, but
would wish it to be SO elevated and honor
able that all our newspapers-and especially
those belonging to the Associated Press
should look on it as a moral guide and
learn by its example to correct many OF
their evil habits.

The stubborn fighting described in our
special dispatches from the scene of the
new Indian war, published yesterday morn
ing, shows that the enemy is by no means
to be despised. Chief Joseph and his band
of Nez Perc6s, having been surprised in
their camp in ravine near the mouth of
Cottonwood Greek, held superior force OF
national troops, supported by howitzers and
Calling guns, at arms length for over seven
hours. Even when night closed the Indians
were still in possession OF good deal Of
the ground they had occupied during the
day. General Howard, in command of the
troops states in his official report regarding
the Indians, that 'They fought as we'll as any
troops ever saw" Our loss appears to be
eleven killed and twenty -four wounded.
while that Of the Indians is not known, but
is possibly less, as the troops fought in the
open. Now, does it ever strike the agents
and others whose dishonest dealings with
the Indians forces him to the warpath that
they are responsible for the lives of the
brave men who sacrifice themselves in try
ing to undo the work Of the Indian Ring
thieves? We accuse Chief Joseph and his
followers of bloody crimes, but we forget
that they have been goaded to these by the
persistent dishonesty of those representa-
tives of the government who do not believe
the red man has any rights that
an Indian agent is bound to respect
Would it not be much cheaper to expend a
tenth Of the cost in money of these petty,
but bloody, Indian wars in dealing fairly
with the people we have dispossessed by
force of their lands? Such plan would be
at once humane and economical The worst
use we can put the Indian to is to kill him.
Neither can we civilize him by system Of
psalm singing and thievery as practised at
the Indian agencies. Until honesty and
common humanity govern our dealings with
the red man we must be prepared to fight
the Sitting Bulls, Captain Jacks and Chief
Josephs until the whole Indian race is ex-
terminated on the territory Of this Republic.

s. 062, 085 for the same class of exports IN 1877
But to this years consignments must be
added $3.50 head of live sheep, valued ut
$4,000, and 6,210 head of cattle, valued at
s497, 600, shipped to London. Liverpool,
Glasgow, Hull and Bristol. This brings the
export valuation for 1877 up to s5,5S5, GO.
The live stock now being shipped can be
held for market better than the fresh beef
during the summer months, as the latter
has to be sold promptly on arrival. The
experiment of shipping fresh veal has
already proved q success In addition to
the growth of the European trade another
market promises to open for our surplus
beeves. decree recently published by
the Spanish authorities in Cuba reduces
onc-haif the import duties for the ensuing
six months on all beeves, horses aad mules
shipped to the island from foreign coun-
tries. This term commenced on July l, and
will principally benefit Southern and South
western stock raisers. The outlet afforded
by this new expectation cannot fail to react
favorably on our agricultural interests.
