The TURKISH LoosFs.

LLondon Telegraph's Elzeroum letter.
The massacre, the butchery, the slaughter,
the death, the surprise, or the just punish
ment of the Circassians, as that exploit is
variously called, causes a great deal of con
troversy and debate. The Russians declare
that only one hundred were killed. Mukh
tar reported first the loss at eighty then at
thirty. a German who protested to have
seen the rifles of the infantry at work on
those who escaped from the village, desert
hes the slaughter of the mountaineers as
frightful, and said that they were mown
down like grass as they galloped into the
open. My account of the affair was gather
ed from the statement of men who came
in here from the neigiborhood as we'll as
from those of people who are invariably in
possession Of the latest and most
Circassian, whom | had questioned, swore
that none Of his people were killed, but that
he himself, as we'll as each ofhis countrymen,
had sabred a hundred Russians. The Circas
slams numbered 1000, the Muscovites up
wards of 9, 600, some say 5000. People who
have no interest in magnifying or lessening
the disaster ask, Where, then,
are these Circassians if
tllSY nave DOt DSSIl hllleu i. IIleIC were
! 600 There are now not more than 500
and 600 where are the rest? The greatest
pains are taken to disguise The truth, and it
is probable that the exact amount will not
be known. The inhabitants, Mussulmans
as well as Christians, of all the villages,
cordially hating the Circassians in conse-
quence of their cruel and p%ilfering habits or
coarse and brutal manners, appear vastly
pleased at their disappearance, and grins
instead of signs invariably accompany any
~allusion to them. At the first account of
the affair every one seemed horror-stricken,
but mems minds have Gained, and although
it is the general belief that at the lowest
computation more than half of them were
killed, few people express any sympathy or
sorrow for their fate. 1t is quite certain
that if the Circassians could surprise a body
of Russians they would massacre them 10
the last man, for, in fact, quarter is neither
given nor expected when these ancient enc
mics meet in arms.
