London, October 6,—A DaiR
News correspondent, with Gen.
Nulkiff’s army, telegraphing
from Rosschens, Thursday’,
Isays: “At 3 o’clock this after
noon the Russians were sur-
rounding Kehlitipe, when Mukh
tar Pasha, desperate at seeing
his communication with Kars
threatened, advanced against
our center with twenty battal
ions. The Turks were received
with a crushing artillery lire
The Russian tiralleures drove
them back, pursuing them to
Saubalin, and till night-fall. The
Turks were utterly demoralized
and everywhere took flight. To-
morrow, Friday, a great battle
is expected along the whole
front when we hope to cut Mukh-
tar Pasha’s communications and
render his position hopeless.
Oar losses are unknown, but
over 2600 are reported missing.”
The Times’ Bucharest special
says considerable discussion is
going on relative to the means
of keeping the communication
across the Danube open during
the winter. One plan suggested
is the construction of a bridge
upon floating iron cylendars; an-
other plan fora fleet of steamers
to be kept constantly cross
mg. The supporters of the
latter plan point to the fact
that the Hudson river ferries are
kept goin during the winter un-
der far more * disadvantageous
circumstances, relative to the
ice and current, than would have
to be encountered in the Dan-
ube.
A Times correspondent con-
firms the report that Mehavet
Ali’s removal is due to the in-
terest of Turkish rivals, who ac-
cused him of surrounding him-
self With German and other for-
eign officeis who revolted at his
plan to the Russians. The Egyp-
tian, Prince Basau, is prominent
among the Mehemet detracors.
It is notable that Mehemet Ali’s
last action failed, in a great
measure because the Egyptian
I troops failed to support him.
Mashington, October 6.—
The town is filling up rapidly,
and there are already some fif-
teen or twenty headquarters.
There is more •“diseasiness” than
business yet, owing to fatigue
from travel. Caldwell’s friends
are sanguine that iie will be
clerk. Col. Blackburn, who is
well up in the mauuel and apt
with the gavel, is not out-of the
ring for speaker. The true indi-
cations, however, are, that the
old officers will retain their
places. Clerk Adams is in most
danger. Door-keeper Patterson
is not entirely safe; a change in
this office, however, gives the
place to Wederbern, which may
out Stewart from the post office,
as both these gents are from
Virginia; and Stewart has made*
a most genial postmaster. Capt.
Ames B. Goi wen, a'Mexican sol-
dier under Jefferson Davis, is a
candidate for postmaster.
Washington, October 6.—The
Star says there is nothing of in
terest, to report about the speak-
ership race to-day. Members
are arriving slowly, and it will
be the middle of next week be-
fore a very adequate vstimate of
the strength ot any of the can-
didates”can be arrived at. The
Star also has the following do-
ings of other days: Col Lewis
Porter, assistant Postmaster of
Washington City has been re
moved, or rather, he has re-
signed, in accordance with an in-
intimatiou that such an action
would be acceptable to
the authoriries. It appears that
certain testimony, adduced be-
fore a committer of the 42d Con-
gress, reflected upon certain
business operations of Porter in
connection with ex-Gov. Bul-
lock, of Georgia. Judge Key
invited the attention of Judge
Edmunds to the records, aud
Epmunds requested Porter to,
step down and cut, aud he did.
Senator Patterson avoided ar-
rest yesterday, and shrewd law-
yersto-day had all set to post-
pone a habeas corpus hearing
until two days after congress
meets/when it is thought Patter
son. as Senator, will be bevond
reach of the requisition. Pat-
terson was set at large ou $25,-

overboard went cotton, flour;
whisky and sugar, until at least
one-half of the cargo was in the
sea; The other half was kept
in to balance the boat,; thus the
night wore away, and it was a
night which the passengers will
not soon forget.
Take! a Tumble.
Atchison, Kansas, Oct. 6.—
At 12 o’clock last night the west-
tern abutment of the great iron
bridge which spang the Missouri
river at this point caved into the
river with a terrible crash, car-
rying with it the whole of the
fifteen foot wall and about sev-
enty five feet of embankment;
The gradual sliding of the work
has been observed for the past
forty-eight hours.

Providence, R. 1., October 6-
—Tne officers of the Massachu-
setts remain on or near the
stranded steamer. The passen-
gers, agree pretty well upon the
following story:
The Massachusetts left New
York nt 5 o’clock Thursday af-
ternoon with i50 passengers and
a large freight. The day was
stormy, and the violence in-
creased as the boat went down
the sound. About 11 o’clock a
terrible gale was reported. The
captain said he had lost the
(lights, the fog being so thick
that nothing could be seen-, and
the whistle was blowing inces-
santly. About 11:30 the engines
were stopped a lew minutes,then
the boat went ahead slowly for
a few minutes when the engine
stopped; a half minute more
and there was a terrible eiasli
quickly followed by two more.
Some of the passengers were
thrown from their berths by the
shock. Terribly frightened, the
people paurecl out of the state
rooms and in a few minutes ai
most every passenger had on a
life preserver and waiting for
the worst. It was so dark abso-
lutely nothing could be seen; the
wind howled so that conversa-
tion was almost inaudible, whiffi,
above all, was the incessant
thumping sound of heaving and
pounding, which all knew was
the eating out of the bottom of
of the boat. Tbe gilding of the
state rooms began to fall down,
and in some of the rooms the
berths fell to the floor. The
boat spread so much that the
rods which held the chandeliers
in the main saloon snapped like
pipe stems, and pieces of the side
ot the boat had been broken
away. The water was rising in
the forecastle, and the dock-

Fort Worth Abroad.
We are in receipt of a letter from a
subscriber in Philadelphia, containing
the anionnt of bis renewal and the fol-
lowing words of good cheer for our
beautiful city, both of which are re-
ceived with gratitude and appreciation:
“Fort Worth it really a progressive
town for so young a place, and it de-
serves credit. We in the East call hardly
realize that in so short a time such
rapid strides in development have been
made. A friend of mine only two years
ago predicted that it would rival and
outstrip Dallas, which it now seems an
almost, if not quite an accomplished
fact. This person has traveled Texas
in all its parts, and is conversant with
every county in the State.”
The Windsor Hate!.
We are in receipt of a dispatch an-
nouncing the opening of the Windsor
Hotel, at Dallas, which Inis recently
been added to and thoroughly refitted,
and is to-day one of the finest houses in
the South. All of the modern conven-
iences and improvements have been
made to the house, and u® will be kept
in first-class Style in every particular.
The proprietor, Mr. W. H. Wbitla, is
an experienced hotel keeper, and the
guests of the Windsor may feel confi-
dent of receiving the best attention;
care and comfort. The Democrat wish-
es the Windsor the fullest measure of
success.
