TAKEN AND RErxKrN.


Bucharest, Sept. l4-Friday night left
the battlefield before Pleyna at noon yeater-
day. Two redonNs taken by Gen.
Skobelef, Tuesday evening, were held
twenty -four hours. Wednesday the Turks
made six attacks, and finally about six
o'clock in the evening, drove him out. He
lost three cannon which he had placed in
the redoubt. lie asked for reinforcements
sereral times, but Gen. Levalshy refused
them, thinking Gen. Skobel.f had. enough
men to hold the redoubt. Finally Gen.
Nrilatf, on his own responsibility, sent the
remnant Of the regiment which had attacked
the lower rcdouht near Plevus, and whose
elective strength wa, reduced to one thou
sand men utterly unfit to go into bal.le.
Even this regiment arrived few minutes
too late aud another ssximent sent from ai.e
headquarters Of tile staff to reinforce him
arrived when Gen. Skobeleff had retreated.
The loss Of these redoubts is disastrous for
the Russians. The Russians in possession
Of these two redoubts, and Grivica redoubt,
had counted upon resuming the offensive
Immediately. This was impossible until
the arrival Of leinforcements. When l lefl
the battle field the Russians were still in
possession Of Grivica redoubt, which va,
under . continual heavy FIRE from the
Turks. This redoubt was visited by Col
Wellesley, who says it is heaped full Of de I'D
Russians and Roumanians.
THE RUSSIANS COMPLETELY ROUTED.
Shumla, September 5.-Friday-O -Osmar
Pasha has attacked the Russians in erea
