ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
The Roumelian Troubles.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 23.-The Russian
Government has replied to Prince Alexan-
der's dispatch relative to Roumelia, that
oni" the signatory powers to the treaty of
Berlin are competent to settle the question
as to sovereignty over Roumela. The gov
ernment has ordered that all Russian off,
GERS in the Bulgarian service may retain
their commissions only on the condition
that they shall not cross the Balkans. Gen.
Kaulbars hes been ordered to resign his
portfolio He will remain at Sofia simply
as military agent.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Standard to-day
commenting on affairs in Roumelia, urges
upon the sgnatory powers of the treaty of
Berlin that, although it may be too late to
restore the status quo in Roumelia, they
should take immediate measures to prevent
the spread of the instruction to other
Balkan states.
BERLIN, Sept 23.-A semi-official state.
ment is made that the powers will not look
calmly on the breaking of the treaty of Ber-
lin, but will side with Turkey, and if Russia
opposes them she will be isolated. Only
after the Bulgarians have been restored to
common sense can the Powers decide what
shall be done for Bulgarian unity.
BELGRADE, Servia, Sept 2S.-The stu
dents CT this city hearing rumor to the
effect that Austria was preparing to annex
| Bosnia under cover of the present excite.
ment, made demonstration in the front OF
the Royal palace against such proceeding.
The crowd became so noisy that the police
dispersed the people.
PHILIpopoLIs, Sept. 23.-All the Mussul-
mans enrolled in the militia of Roumelia
have been discharged from the service as q
precautionary measure against the convey
ing Of military secrets to Turkey. The SYM
pathy Of the Musselmens is undoubtedly
with the Porte, and if permitted to remain
in the army they would probably fraternize
with The Turkish soldiers. Prince Alexan-
der, of Bulgaria, declares that he is able to
withstand the attacks of all the forces the
Sultan can rally to support his claims in
Rou:aelia.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-Russia has proposed
conference of the powers on the Roume-
Ian difficulty, but wants the Porte to take
the initatory step in the matter. Russia will
await q decision from the Porte before COM
hitting herself Oh the question.

Grants Last utteraucas on the War.

MECCA, ILL.,, Sept. ga reunion of the
veterans of Gen. Grants old regiment-the
Twenty. first Illinois Volunteers-began
here last night. Col. Fred Grant was given
very hearty reception. In response to
requests for speech, the Colonel said:
10 rot intend TO make you speech, for
have not been trained as public talker
have here document that would like
70 read you. 1t is the last line written by
my father upon matters pertaining to the
war, and has never before been made pub
lie. As he entered into the war with you
for his first companions, and as he always
spoke of your regiment with affectionate
interest, it is fitting that you should be the
first TO hear his parting words. This is
whet he wrote upon the pages l hold here,
II feel that We are on the eve Of new era,
when there is to be great harmony between
the federals and confederates. L cannot
stay to be living witness to the correct
ness of this prophesy, but feel it within
me that it is to be SO. The univer-
sally kind feeling expressed for mo at
time when it was supposed that each
day would prove my last, seems to me
the beginning of the answer TO Let
us have peace The expressions Of these
kindly feelings were not restricted to Sec
ton Of the country nor to a division of the
people. They came from individual citi-
zens of all Municipalities; from all denomina-
tions, the Protestant, the Catholic, and tho
Jew, and from the various societies of
the land scientific, educational, religious
or otherwise. Politics did not enter into
the matter at all. l an not egotist enough
to suppose all this significance should be
given this matter because was the object
of it. But the war between the States was o
very bloody and a very costly war. One
side or the other had to yield principles
they deemed dearer than life before it could
be brought to an end. I commanded the
whole Of the mighty host engaged on the
victorious side, it was no matter whether de-
servedy so or not, represented of that side
OF the controversy. 1t is significant and
gratifying fact that confederates should
have joined heartily in this spontaneous
move. ] hope the good feeling inaugurated
may continue to the end" Ageneral amen
went UP from the veterans, and the meeting
adjourned

Excitement in Wheat.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2S.-For several days
past there has been much excitement in
the wheat market here, and, during the
past week, the price of No. 2 western
wheat has advanced 81 cents for spot,
and the advance on futures has aver
aged 2 cents per bushel. Prominent
men on change say they can sec no
reason for the advance as there is no
foreign demand. The business appears to
be entirely speculative, and it is more thaa
usually large for this season Of the year.
In sympathy with wheat flour has advanced
and the market is very active.

The DUTY on foreign iron ore is seventy
FIVE cents ton. The wages paid in some OF
the iron mines in Pennsylvania are sixty
cents day. This shows at glance that
protection does not enhance the price of Ia
Dor. Nevertheless, the infuence-of course
not bulldozing or threatened deprivation of
employment-exerted by the rich owners OF
the mines referred to upon their poorly paid
laborers will induce them to vote for the
protection candidate at the next Congress
sional election. And still these same rich
Northern protected manufacturers are loud

advice in such cases, into giving Offices &c

A CARD,

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
We the undersigned committee alluded to by
your correspondent from Manassas, "R. T, in his
history of "a Remarkable Church Trial. which
appeared in your esteemed paper OF the 18th list,
deem it our duty, unpleasant though it be, to ask
for the publication of facts in connection with
that most remarkable trial. We find this neces-
sary in vindication of the truth in vindication
of the noble Christian ministers, who have been
so ruthlcssy assailed, as well as in vindicaion of
ourselves.
The arraignment of the NOTED gentleman"
Mr. J. P. Baldwin, was mainly upon tho charge
of having published "a layman's protest." in
which certain statements were made, which were
"s!anderous and FALSE" "R. T." says Lying" The
case was truly made remarkable one by the
omission of any attempt on the part CT plaintiff S
counsel to introduce copy of said protest in evil
dence until it was too late, whercupon the able
counsel for defendant, made use of the technical
advantage gained and fully succeeded in entirely
SURPRISING the cristcncc Of any such document, so
far as the evidence in the case before US was con-
cerned. Therefore by that process alone was the
verdict neutrality-suspicious. mot sustained by
tie evidence"
"R. r." makes the startling disclosure thai J.
P. Baldwin was the author of such protest. If
such statement had been asserted in evidence in
the hearing of the case or admitted by defendant,
the verdict would have been guilty. charge and
specifications fully sustained by the evidence.

AS THE solemn obligations of the Berlin
treaty have been fouted by the revolution
in Roumelia, it is difficult to see how re-
sort to force can be averted unless Turkey
can be satisfied with a consideration, which
is not at all probable. There would be no
use for treaties unless the parties thereto
could enforce their provisions.
