and some sappers, was repulsed. This
affair seems of itself to have been utter
ly unimportant, BUTT was probably a
feint to draw Osman's attention from
Griyitza, as the Bucharest semi-official
paper, the Romanul, Of Saturday even
ing, announces that the Roumanians who
have thrice heroically attacked the Sc
cond Grivitza redoubt were repulsede
Details are wanting.
A dispatch to the Times dated Sim
nitza, October II, says that on that day
forty Turkish soldiers, chiefly Anato-
lians, deserted from Osman Pasha's
camp and came into the Russian camp
unders escort. They declared that they
deserted because there was so lit
tie food in Plevna that the men only got
a pound Of bread in twenty-four hours.
There were 1900 men in Plevna who
could only be made to surrender by hun
ger.
CAPTURE AND LOSS OF A REDoUBT.
LONDON, Oct. PA Russian off,
cial dispatch from Gorny-Student re-
ports that in one of their assaults On
Friday the Roumanians entered and &C.
cupied the second Grivitza redoubt be-
before Plevna, but during the evening
the redoubt was recaptured by the
Turks.
A Reuter- telegram, dated Poredin,
Saturday, says the Roumanians captur-
ed the redoubt on Friday after three
vigorous assaults, but during the night
the Turks, collecting all their forces,
recaptured 1t after most sanguinary
contest. 1t was expected that the
fighting would continue Saturday.
LATEST EVENTS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Standard contains the following: ''Adritt
Pasha, the new Turkish ambassador to
Paris, is instructed to state Immediately
on his arrival the terms on which Tar
key would make peace if the powers
wished to mediate"
In consequence Of Muktar Pasha's
disaster all the troops in Constantinople
are being set easily to Trebizone.
The Daily News has the following
dispatch dated Karajal. Wednesday,:
Gen. Heymann is advancing on Ere
roum. Kars is surrounded, and nego-
tiations for its surrender have been
opened. The Russian headquarters are
now at Vezinker. Gen. Lasarod' is
marching against Ismail Pasha.
"A report is current that the Rou-
manians captured the second Gravitza
redoubt on Saturday, but this is not yet
Sunday evening" confirmed. 1t is evil
dent that as the redoubt was taken by
the Roumanians and recovered by the
Turks on Friday the losses Of the form
er must be much heavier than officially
stated.
A Times special from Torlak: dated
Saturday, says the Turks have evacuated
hadikor for fear that the Russians would
block their communications with Rust
chuk, and have retired to Rasgrad.
Russian cavalry from the Dabrudscha
have advanced as far as Kavarna.
A later telegram from Rasgrad says a
detachment Of the army has arrived at
that place, but the position as Solnik
and kardikor are retained for the pres
ent by the Turks. 1t seems, however,
that a retrograde movement has been
commenced. Suleiman Pasha has
gone to make a personal inspection Of
the fOrtificati tons at Rustchuk.

in speech of the same length. Col.
Richardson is rather pleasant speaker
and has a good delivery. He attacked
the .Wytheville speech, as published,
spending large portion of his time
commenting upon the various assey-
tons IN the published report OF that
speech. He referred to the passage, Of
the funding.bill and the means byswhlch
its passage was secured. His remarks
bore heavily upon Gov. Gilbert
Walker whose part in the matter
was bitterly denounced. Col.
Richardson is opposed to the increase
of taxes under any circumstances. He
stated that the amount of the debt, a
the commencement of the war al
81, 100000, and common arithmetic
tells us that at 6 per cent. interest, il
doubles itself every sixteen years and
that the present debt of the State is
sixty two millions of dollars.
Gen. Walker, in his reply, introduced
Gen. Richardson as the nominee of the
parlor committee, J. H. Wartman &
Co., Secretary, and said Richardson
was called by a vote of thlrty-six tc
twenty-one in the Valley and eighteen
to twelve in his own county. Walker
carried the House with him, and CLOSED
his second speech at about II P. NJ.
Col. Richardson followed in shor
speech telling Gen. Walker that he
would not endulge in the small.tall
which was the main feature of his
Walkers, speech, that it was certainly
beneath the dignity of one aspiring tt
be lieutenant Governor.
The discussion was lively and th'
audience, nearly all of whom seemed tt
be in sympathy with Walker, were
well entertained.

The Richmond State says. As our
laws are now published, they remind us
of that ancient tyrant who wrote his
edicts in an unknown language and
then posted them out of reach Of the
people in public places, that they might
not ple,.d ignorance. The Legislature
enacts any number Of statutes during its
session, thosand too many at lest, and
then only publishes them long after
they have been put in force, in a
book that finds its way into few hands
but the lawyers. This is a fault which
could be corrected by a judicious and
cheap system of publishing all laws
enacted, repealed, Or amended, il at
least one paper in each county or city
of the State, at very small Cost"
The suggestion is good one and
should receive tie attention Of the Leg
islature. Our people. we know, are
anxious to see what laws are passed.
The Virginians, as a people, manifest
great interest in state affairs, but it is a
remarkable fact that there is no subjec+
upon which they are generally so ignor-
ant as they are Of the state laws Which
they are expected to observe.

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents message is a very
brief document. It deals only with
such matters as in the Presidents judg-
ment require immediate action at the
hands ofCongress, and touches upon no
topic which is calculated to excite
debate. Even with reference to the
mooted question Of increasing OF
decreasing the army the President
recommends that its consideration
should be deferred until after the needed
deficiency bill has been passed, and
provision made for the support Of the
army for the current year at the maxi
mum strength Of $4,000 men. In the
event Of subsequent reduction Of the
army the excess of the appropriation
could not be expended, and if on the
other hand the army should be increased
the additional appropriation required
could be voted in due time. 1t would
be unjust to the troops now in service,
and whose pay is largely in arrears, il
payment to them should be delayed
while Congress is discussing the proper
limit of our future military establish
ment. All this is well and pitthily put,
as is also the statement Of the exigency
which rendered the extra session
necessary, and which makes prompt &C.
ton on tie part Of Congress equally
imperative. I'VE have an army IN
service authorized by law and entitled
to be paid, but no funds available for
that purpose" The President also
suggests as deserving the attention OF
Congress at the present session the
propriety ofmaking timely and suitable
provision for the adequate represen-
tation Of the United States, its varied
products and industries, at the Paris
exhibition next year. He recommends
a reappropriation of the small amount
appropriated by a previous Congress,
but subsequently covered into the
treasury, to defray the expenses o.
commissioners from this country to the
International Prison Congress to be held
upon the invitation Of Swedish govern.
ment,ssat Stockholm next year. These
suggestions, with recommendation in
favor Of an immediate appropriation fol
the restoration of the patent Office and
the passage Of the naval deficiency and
Judiciary deficiency bills, comprise the
whole Of the message. Should othel
subjects be taken up by Congress 1t will
therefore be upon the initiation Of that
body. In the Senate the question Of the
disputed seats from Louisiana and South
Carolina will undoubtedly afford food
for debate, and once fairly launched into
either business Or debate. the House
may easily protect the extra session,
when the President will send in his
message covering the reports Of the
various heads Of departments, which are
required by law to be submitted at that
time.-Sun.

One particular German institution is
decidedly unpopular among the German
people. There are 1,055,0OO men in
cribed on the military lists Of the Ger.
man empire. OF these, as many as
396 600 have their names set down in
black list as having failed to observe the
law Of compulsory military service, and
10000 Of these have gone out Of the
way Of it by emigrating. One in eight
able-bodied Germans has resolved to
quit his fatherland rather than stop at
home and share the prevailing poverty
and enforced military service which his
nation has to endure. In this manner
Germany loses much ofthe muscle and
brain Of her young men.
