literally moved the Russians down III
swathes. They fell by scores and hun
dreds on the plain below the Turkish
positions. During their attempts to
make way against this fire body OF
Turkish horse and foot, taking aovan-
tsye of the thick forest, broke forth
upon the flank of the Russian column,
and effected great slaughter, the Mus
covites being upon ground perfectly
open, and having no choice but to
fight or fly. In short time the spot
which was the scene Of this flank
movement became covered with dead
and dying Russians, but the enemy
quickly brought up reinforcements
and the battle Was renewed with much
determination. For many hours the
efforts of the assailants we're desper-
ately maintained, but toward midday
their artillery fire gradually slackened
and they at length withdrew, after
suffering considerable losses. An eye
witness of this important engagement I
testifies that the Ottoman soldiers be
haved admirably. They had, howev-
er during the great part of the action
the advantage of entertainments Oh
high ground and it is due tD this fact,
no doubt, their losses, compared to the
Russians, were Insignificant.
The Telegreph's Batoun dispatch,
dated Saturday, says that the victory
was won by the most extraordinary
courage of Bashi Bozounks. The dead
and wounded Russians exceed 4JOOO.

hours of actual fighting. The last OF
