TIVE WAN Rfct.1 FIGHTING M AeseM.A.
New iu,k u..l,l.l

New York tcraii
Ia Armenia Monkhtnr l'acha'. army has
been cndeavoring TO force the Russians back
upon the frontier, and NJ the asIne time
cautiously covering kars from any sudden
attack which the grand duke might attempt
TO make by = movement by the right flank.
Hence we find the opposing forces aligned
) early parallel TO each other, and each l,ol-
ding positions Of great natural strength.
The Russians have been striking alternately
At MOukhtar Pacha's wings in the hope Of
turning them back and enclosing the Turks
il . position whence retreat would be a.
fatal ~ to stay and fight. But the wary
Moukhtar is not to Ike caught mapping, and
r~etircs when hard pressed with his forma-
ton intact. The abandonment Of Kill
Tepe by the Turks IL inconsistent with their
claims Of complete success in the battles Of
the last two weeks. II, as they insist, the
Russians have suffered enormous losses and
are in full retreat, how can the retirement Of
the Turk'sh army to a more :ecure position
be reconciled with = victorious pursuit Of
the enemy? We are inclined to doubt the
Turkish Y %ctories. Indeed, We can almost
believe in substantial Russian successes il
we base our faith on the informa' ion fur.
nirhed from Constantinople.
The siege Of Plevna progresses without
any remarkable change in the relative pc.
%aitions or strength Of the belligeren,s, except
perhaps, that caused by the junction OF
Chefket and Osman Pacha. 1t ia calculate
that the Russian army in Bulgaria num-
bers two hundred thousand men, exclusive Of
the Dobrudscha corps Of thirty thousand
men, and that the Turkish fo:ce is Of equal
strength, hut divided equally into two ar
mics, commanded by Suleiman pacha and
Osman Pacha respectively The Russians
holding the central position should now be
able to overwhelm either body Of their
enemy without en~dangering their ozn po-
sition very seriously during the operation.
Why they do not il the mystery Of the cam
paign I'll It time alone can u%nravel. With
damaged bridges threatening short supplies,
on one side, and the typhus scourge on the
other, neither the Russians nor the Turks
can afford TO wait for favorable events.
They will be forced to create them, if they
can, and that speedily. TIE management
Of the campaign by the leaders on both
sides has been marked by such unparalleled
bungling that it is impossible to calculate
on what the next s%tnpendous stupidity may
bring about.

Yesterday was clection-day, and the small

Spring township refer to Mr.. IIenry j.

one who has done more for the Conscrva-
tive cause in the county than any other six
men combined
see from your Cuckoo correspondence
that General Taliaferro is "the choice OF
this county for Governor" This is erro-
neous. The lower part doubtless contains
Taliaferro men; but this is emphatically a
Daniel county, and the vote Of the county
In the Convention will be cast for Daniel
beyond doubt; and | am glad 10 know il.
As your correspondent says, we expect
our most worthy townsman Captain II. w.
Murray to receive the nomination .or the
Senate from this district. 1t was under
stood at the last Convention that we should
have the nominee this time, and our people
are unit for Murray, who will make us
indeed most excellent representative. His
nomination will lie equivalent to his cleo
ton.
There is no news stirring in town. We
had & death in town 4 few days ago Orr. D..

wide. and 80 precise was lis track that
fences on one side OF the road were de-

undiSturbed
The weather since the storm has been
gradually getting cooler. and yesterday and
this morning frost was visible in some To-
caliteS sufficient to kill some plants.
Yesterday was election-dav. So little in
tcrcst was manifested that many declined to
vote, and the regular nominees were in
every case elected. The following are the
township officers elected: Magistrates-Dr.

Though the grand banquet last night was

british guests have not oil left the city, and

With everything else they have seen in

stir them up.
