THE TURKS BEATEN AT THE SHIPKA PASS.
SERIOUS FIGHTING REPORTED FROM AROUND
BIELA.
The Russians assert that the Turks were repulsed
with enormous loss in the attack on the Shipka
Pass defences. The Turks admit that they
had to retreat from Fort st. Nicholas
which is said to be the key of the
Russian positions in the pass, and to command
other Russian works. Gen. Radtzky, the Russian
commander, is supposed to have about 25,00O men
and Snleiman Pasha about 10000. Reports
current of serious fighting around Bela on the
Jantra, one of the positions held by the Czarewitchs
army. In ASIA active operations have been resumed

LONDON, Tuesday. Sept. 49, 1877.
A later dispatch from COnstantlnope says the
Russians in the Shipka Pass have been reinforced.
Gen. Radctzky's official account of the fighting
does not admit that the fort was ever occupied by
tue Turks. He says:
"After five days bombardment the Turks at three
o'clock in the morning made a sudden attack on the
fort. The attack subsequently extended along the
whole line and was repulsed, with enormous loss to
the Turks. after desperate fight which lasted nine
hours. The Russian loss was nineteen officers and
400 men wounded and 100 killed. Prince Nest
chensky. an ade-de-camp of the Gar, was killed."

TIE CHANGED SoUTHERNER.-Mr Hen.
ry WatterSon, editor of the Louisville
Courier-JOurnaJ, in lecture in New York
on Tuesday evening, said:
"a change has taken place. No more
is the representative southern man taken
to be Dragging bully. In the meridian
of their prosperity southerners were an
easy going, pleasure-loving people. Men
living upon great estates, with few cares
or excitements, are likely to grow indo-
lent The gentleman of the south had
plenty of time, and he thought he had
plenty of money to lose; and the lower
orders initiated his example. But the
crash came and the Pretty fabric fell. The
great and the small, the good and the
evil, were all engulfed in one widespread
overwhelming ruin. There is now moth
ing of that gilded structure. 1t is no longer
fashionable or respectable to filter
time away in idle, costly pleasure. The
oattlescarred and time and care-worn
south is most unlike the south that was.
The co)ored race is Gods shadow upon
the dial of American progress, whose caba
listic figures the wiscst are not able to
read: | only know, and therein am hap
Ply, that slavery is gone with the bag and
baggage of an obsolete past.
" The south of the past is gone. The
wide verandah, filled with pleasure-seeker
folk, the great estate, the system which re-
fused to recognize its relations to progress
and civilization, have passed away. The
poor, weak person who lives only to amuse
himself is thought nothing Of in the south.
If proselytism be the supreme Joy of man
kind, New England must be pre-. eminent
ly happy, for the ambition of the south is
TO out Yankee the Yankee"

TILTON.

There is no truth whatever in The story
that is being circulated that Theodore
Tilton and his wife are to shortly come to
Cetber again. Tilton believes that his
wife was false to him, and Mrs Tilton be-
ieyes that her husband has been false tc
her, and they both prefer to live alone, or
rather, not with each other. Theodore
called upon her on his return from Europe
to inform her as to the condition of her
daughters, whom he left in Europe, but
the interview was confined strictly to that
business. She is living quietly in Brook
Ign, and he is liviDgly quietly in I'd Ave
nue.. And the story that Tilton and Moul-
ton had quarreled is equally untrue. They
are as fast friends as ever. And hate
Beecher as cordially as ever.
BUSINESS
is not so brisk as last week. The uncer-
tainty as to the silver bill has had a de-
pressing effect, for no one knows what the
condition of things will be if it.passes. 1t
would be blessed thing for the country
if the currency thinkers would let it alone,
and let it regulate itself Medicine kills
more than it cures, and there is nothing so
terrible as uncertainty, for it checks bust
ness, while expenses 90 on just the same.

STEAMER HURON WRECKED.-The U. S.
steam-sloop of war Huron, Commander
Ryan, was wrecked on the North Carolina
coast about one O'Clock Saturday morning
and about 100 out of 1874 men aboard her
were lost She was ordered TO Cuba and
lett Fortress Monroe, under orders from
Admiral Trenchard, Friday morning,
though storm signals had been flying for
some time. There was no need of haste
IN her leaving, and the Admiral is blamed
Tor ordering her to sea at such II time.
Commander Ryan and Lieuls. Palmer and
Simons are among the lost. Five men of
the llle-boat station near which the vessel
struck were lost in trying to get to her.
Survivors OF the Huron make the follow
ing statement:
The vessel was heading her course,
south southeast, the wind blowing strono
from south southeast, under after sail, to
steady her, and sleaning along. There
was no event to excite approximations of
any danger. She had sighted and passed
Currltuck light and orders were given to
keep Il bright lookout for Body's Island
light, AT l.: 40 the vessel struck, when all
hands rushed impulsively on deck. Capt
hyan and the officers acted promptly, and
the crew responded 10 orders with alacritv
The surf was terrific. Shortly after the
vessel struck boat was lowered, but in.
stantly swamped. The vessel Slowed
oroadslde to the sea, which made clear
break over her, sweeping everything from
Ihe decks and carrying the boats from the
u'Vits. Many seamen and officers were
washed overheard, and several were killed
by pieces of the wreck. The vessel broke
up fast, The surf became more and mora
furious, making it beyond all human effort
10 holu. Signals of distress had been made
but there had been no response. No one
knew where they were, and all that did
get ashore were washed there by the surf
The cause of the wreck is attributed to q
local attraction of the compass and the
