LONDON, Aug1.1.- T'he 1 lMndrd's lMdistch
dat(nl Bucharest, W ed0nelay evening, 'on
tains various rulnors whivh, though prohally
exallorattl, show the selious light In which
the Russian defeat at I'lnvuaa Is viewed. The
correspondent says there cnll 15 no dohubt
that a great disaster has befallen the Russian
troops. To-day reinforcements have been
Iouring southward as fast as trains could fol
'low each other.
Among other reports current, it is asserted
that the Czar has begged Prince Cha hles to
cross the Danube immediately with the main
body of the Roumanian army; that the head
quarters' ambulances are failing back to
hlstova; that disorganized troops are r'
treating acr(oss the I)anube.
The Times' Bucharest correspondent re
ports that the Turks occupy Leovatz with
nine battalions, and are receiving further re
inforcements.
Other battles are looked for in that dire
tion, as the advance of the Russians has tben
evidently checked till they get clear of the
difficulties on their right flank.
The Dnill News correspondent, telegraph
ing from lulgarieni, fifteen miles east of
1'levna gives a detailed account of the fight
ing of MIonday. The Turkish force was esti
mated at 50,(HN). They occupied a series of
positions which are naturally strong, and
also artificially fortilled in every available
spot, forming a horseshoe in front of Pievna,
with both flanks resting on the River Vid.
The Russian force consisted of the Ninth
Army Corps, under Gen. Krudener; the
Thirteenth Division and Third Brigade of the
Second Division, under Prince Schachowsky,
with three brigades of cavalry and 160 gups.
It was arranged that Gen. Krudener should
attack the Turkish centre at Grivica and the
northern flank of the entrenched positions
over l)ohova, while Schachowsky attacked
Radizevo, and IGen. Shobeleff, Jr., held in
check a strong Turkish force at Looca, which
was the extremity of the Turkish line. Gen.
Krudener began the battle about half-past 9
o'clock.
After a long bombardment he succeeded in
silencing the Turkish cannon at Grivica, but
could not expel the infantry from the earth
works. He spent the whole afternoon un
availingly endeavoring to force the northern
flank of the Turkish position, desisting after
dark without having gained anything mate
rial, having himself suffered considerable
loss.
Prince Schachowsky about noon carried
Radizevo, and planting four batteries on a

THLE POSTAL SEP.VICE IN LOUISIANA.
I think that to New Orleans the importance
of the rectification of the postal service in
Louisiana cannot be overestimated. St. Louis
has regular and rapid mail communication
with all of Northern Texas, and through
Shreveport with a large and rich portion of
Northwestern Louisiana, which gives her an
immense advantage in controlling the trade
of those districts of country. New Orleans,

h)u dona great deal tAr ripple our foreign trad, n,
while at. the samn tim the wcnderful nmmergies
of the A merican peopl have, lot, none of their
activity. Thus, vastly dlminlhd 'commerce, ,
with undimtniehel, if nret, inermaed, prowinc
l.ion, ha4s rdpresserd all our enterprises and
industries. Hard times have come upon the
country. (:'npltalists have lost money; the
business of the railroads has rderIeasRl; man
irfactured goods rematn unsold; ships and
stisrrmboats are lying idle at the wharves;
rnerchants are eontraclting their business, and
capitalists, alarmedl at the outlook, are lock
ing up their funds. Is it surprising, then, that
thern arc many thousanm i of Idle working
penople in the conntry; that wages are Insing
redvuivcl., ind that poverty, misery and want
have rieclartcel warr against the. presemt system
and ride re.i-handicl with the ensigns Of infu
rinaed mobs,. th reatening soc.it.y with ruin and
trowne, aunl citi'es with devastation
Heit onre Ihas very truthfully said that;
th."ro wvs .'crrioIthing higher tha.n i'healp br' raul
in tihe l"renrcth revolution, anri I think all ran
soning rman will hold thati thern is something
highier in the flierce riots which have just swept
through this coulintry than a ten per rent re
,lcrtiorn of wages. The mobs have been ablout,
suppressed; ibyonyets and grlpe an.a d canister
have fulfilled their part, in eheeking t.ho riot
ers,and imnnrnislater ncesslities may tcrnp el the
strikers in a few days toi everywhere resume
work and accept their pittance of pay barely
sufficient to keep Iodly and soul together.
but is the statesmanship of the country wine
and hion'est enough to discover, recognize andi
iendeavor to correct the evll.s in our social and
political systernms which caused the recent
outbreak of the working people? It is the
vicious tariff and thi. narrow setional policies
iof the past ten years upon which should be
turned the canister and grape of public
opini on.
If we hope In thie future to prevent such
troubl es as those we have just witnessed, the
evils which provoked them must be exter
mninated by statesmanship. The tariff which
burthens our foreign trade and taxes so
severely our producing classes for the benetit
of certain localities and to protect special in
terests must be done away with, and a system
adopted for the eman ipqtion of indlustry and
cornmnerce generally. Every wise and consti
tt.ional mreasure should also b adolrptie by
the general govrnrrent to extend and in
crease our foreign trade., andi thus create new
demands for our ranufaeturesa ard, agricul
tural products.
EIFF~ TH 'F INt'REASEI) FOREIGN T:ADIE.
No informed man can the ignorant of the in
fluence of the extension of foreign trade upon
national prosperity and in relieving the de
pression of industry and the misery of the
working Iople, causedl by over-production or
ill-judged policies of governmrnnt.
The new fields of trade opened and the com
mercial relations createdl by the Crunsades
wrought one of the most extraordinary civil
revolutions the world has ever witnessedl.
Those who consider the great movements
merely in their religious or fanatical aspects
take in only their most unimportant relations
to civilizati~in. The cArnercial results andl
influences which flowed from them and en
riched so large a portion ,f Europe must be
chiefly considered, if it is expected to under
stand their real effect upon mankind.
England was, comparatively, a poor and
miserable nation until her avarice and enter

Major Tupper and myself arrived here
Tuesday night at I I o'cl.:k, tired, hungry and
dusty, in comppny with two or three hundred
other unfortuarrtxs from Georgia, labama,
South Carollna and North Carolina. When
the e.ts and mattressc0s were exhausted the
balance of the crowd lald around the hotel as
best they couihl, and we were among the hal
anee of the trowd. We, camped on the gald
lery with our dusters for bedsand our~ tchaels
for pillows. And yet we had a gorgemous bed
chamber. The heavens stretched above
us and far over the sea, glittering with
their myriads of stars, and the rip
pling waters of the beautiful Chesapeake
rolledl from our very feet to mingle
in the dim distan.e with the horiamn.
Great ships with their armaments lay.
alongside our couhesn, or saied Into and out
of our chamber noielesely, like mighty mrm
sters, careful not to dituirb our rest-- whils
the w-.,unring surf beat around us anI
charmred us with its lullaby into sleep. The
balance of the delegates arrived from New
York atbout daylight and aroused us from our
gorgeous cowh to find out what they were to
do for tW , ltc. It is nc.les to elaborate
the subject; it is enough to say that very few
of them will retain any very happy remem
brances of their two first days at Old Point
Comfort.
SEA N.YMPFIH.
While the convention was in session Thurs
day noon two beautiful nymphs soemerl to
arise from the glittering waters of the bay, in
full view of the .onvention,, and all eyes were
turned iupon them. The raven tresses of the
one and the other's goklden wealth of hair, un
oIrsed, floated around them on the blue waves,
while their shapely arms, almost wholly bare,
as they moved through the water and wset
terre the gleaming sprt in sprtive mirtih,
glittered with snow-wlabeauty.
Climbing the bathtid wharf and lot-king
arms, the swimming hrnuties would dive
headlong into the sea, and their little feet and
snowy ankles, as they disappeared, made one
dream of sea nymphs (living to their shells
and caves-. then, a few moments afterwards,
they wouli rise with sweet and ringing peals
of laughter far out from shore, thefr armnn
and fe:t shining through the spray, and th:ir
tresses streaming on the waves.
THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC.
It.was suggested that a resolution shorul'l
be prer.:ntel to the convention indor.-ing
govermuent aid to the Texas and Pacitic Rail
way. But after mature consideration it was
deemed unadvisable to introduce any topi:e
foreign to the object of the assemblage.
Some of the Louisiana delegates have al
ready gone; the others, with the exception of
Capt. Fenner, leave this evening, some for
New York, others for Baltimore and thence
