unsuccessful as that on the Rus-
sian trenches on the left. The
Russians pursued the retreating
Turks with a murderous fire.
Six companies wenr at theiii
with bayonet, and swept them
out of the redoubt like a whirl-
wind. At four o’clock the
Turks were in retreat every-
where, and the Russians occu-
pied the whole of theif first po-
sitions, besides pursuing the'
Turks a short distance with
their cavalry. The Russians
were about tventy thousand
strong. Their loss is estimated
at five hundred, aud th.sH of the
Turks six thousand killed and
wounded.
London, September 4.—The

in France apoplerie fondegashe.
He was apparently in good
'•health in the morning, but soon
after felt symptoms of illness,
which speedily developed into
an apoplectic fit. He remained
unconscious, and died at six
o’clock without pain apparently.
No efforts short of a coup
d’etat by the communist wing
could have created so profound
an impression throughout
France. 1 This effect on the
present political crisis cannot

Loudon, September 4.—The
announcement of the death of
M. Thiers is confirmed. It was
caused by appupiexy, aud his
sufferings were apparently very
slight.
London, September 4.—The
Daily New’s special of August
31st,' says that Osman Pasha’s
attack on -the Russian positious
at Pelisat and vicinity, was one
of the most hardly fought bat-
tles of the war. The Turks ear-
ly in the figut captuied a Rus-
sian redoubt, one mile in front
of Pelisat. In the course of one
hour, this redoubt was taken by
the lurks, retaken by live Rus-
sians, and taken again by the
Turks. The Russian left wing
was driven baek on Pelisat, in
front of which trenches bad
been dug, and were lined with
troops. The Turks advanced as
though determined to drive ^ur
lett out of Pelisat, aud turn it.
The Turks began to descend in
that direction, not with a rush,
but leisurely and without tiring;
not in masses or lines, out scat-
tered and diffused. They came
down about half way in this
manner, the Russ an artillery
tearing up all the time in the
most savage manner. The Rus-
sian infantry lire, which had for
the last five minutes beeu very
heavy about Zeoglinee, now
began to rod along the hill crest
in our direction, aud the Turks,
who were just coming into
range, began to drop rapidly.
The Turkish advance veered to
the left and went at the Russian
trenches on the crest of the hills
between Pelisat and Zeoglinse,
with a shout, opening fire at the
same time. The Turks descend-
ed into a little hollow, and were
lost to sight for a time, while the
Russian trenches flamed and
smoked and a storm of balls
was poured into the advancing
Turks. This must have lasted
fifteen or twenty minutes, duripg
which time a fearful loss of life
must have occurred. Then we
saw the Turks begin to with-
draw, carrying off their wound-
ed. The Turks bad no sooner
withdrew from the Russian
force than they formed aud ad-
vanced again. Many dead
bodies of Turks were found
within the Russian trenches.
The little slope on the crest of
which the trenches were situa-
ted, was literally covered with
dead. I counted seven in a
space of not more than ten feet
square. The battle here was
terrib e, but the Turks were
again repulsed. It will scarcely
he believed that they went at it
again, and yet they did so. It
seemed madness, because we
could see that tJv.e_Russian. fire
never wavered, while the re-
serves were waiting behind
ready to fall in at the least sign
of wavering. The scene of car-
nage was again repeated, but
only lasted a moment. The
Turks completely broken, with-
drew sullenly firing and carry-
ing off their wounded and many
of their dead. They fell hack
on the redoubt which they had
first taken, apparently with the
intention of holding it, but they
were not allowed to remain long
there. Another attack on the
I Russian centre had been equally
the Republican party, but his
advanced views are alarming to
the left centre, that the Repub-
lican party, as a whole, will
probably seek to counteract the
evil of M. Thiers’ removal, by
putting forward M. Gnerry, ex-
Presideut of the Chamber of
Deputies, as a candidate for the
succession to the Presidency
in the event of President Mc-
Mahon’s retirement.
Batoum, September 4.—The
Turks have completely revic-
uialed Sukum Kalet.
London, September 4.—A spe-
cial coirespondent of the Daily
News at Pander, under date ot
September 1st, telegrapns: “I
rode over the batde-field when
tl e Pelisat affair was over. The
Turks left verj few wounded,
and only about three hundred
dead on the field. Their losses
could be judged by tbe number
of knapsacks with which the
ground wasstewn in front of the
Russian trenches. Half way
between Pelis and Segalina, the
Turkish dead were lying . so
close, that they might have
shaken hands with the Russians
lying inside. Ti e desperate at-
tack aud the desperate resist-
ance to the attaek, seems to have
beeu well directed. It was so
sudden and with such violence,
that the Russian redoubt was
taken almost by surprise. The
first time, it was in fact taken
almost before Gen. Sakoff knew
the attack had began. From a
Russian point of view, I look
upon the whole system of fight-
ing in the fortifications, a mis
taken one. It would have been
much better for Gen. Sakoff to
have retreated and. drawn the
Turks into open country, where
their inaptness in executing ma-
neuvers on the field ol battle,
would have put them at great
disadvantage with the well drill-
ed Russian troops. The Rus-
sians have always been waiting
for the Turks to come out aud
fight in open country, yet they
entrench themselves iu such a
manner that the Turks have no
tehiptatiou to come on, aud find
it impossible to do so, when tbev
trv. If the Russians wish to
fight them in the open country,
they should offer tnem some
temptation to come out, and not
meet them everywhere with
fortifications.”
London, September 4. The
new week promises to he a
bloody one. The summer is go-
ing, and decisive results become
every day of more importance to
the Russians, for there are indi-
cations not to be disregarded,
financial, political and social,
which point against the proba-
bility of a continuance of the
war into another campaign.
Washington, September 4.—
Before the United States Circuit,
Court for the eastern district of
Virginia, sitting in . Alexandria,'
Robert W. Hughes, presiding,-
L. L. Lewis, of counsel for plain-
tiff, addressed the court,- and
said that by Consent of the par-
lies, the hearing of the sugges-
tion as to the jurisdiction of the
eourt in the Arlington and State;
suit, would be postponed until
next January term of the eouft,-
and the order was accordingly
so entered. The point relied
upon by the defendaots is that
‘ the United States being iu pos-
session, cannot be sued, while’
tha plaintiffs contend that fhe‘
United States is not being sued
but the parties who are abso-
lutely in possession.
