“D. P.” writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer : Going through the train after it left Cum- , berland, Md,, [ encountered a familiar face in that of a man in very poor attire, /who sat nursing an old-fashioned pair of siddle~bags, that looked as if they had been left over in Cumberland by some trooper on his way to Braddock’s defeat.
It was only after the owner of these bad clothes and anc'ent saddlesbags had called my name, while holding out his hand, that 1 recognized an old acquaintance. I had known him during the war, at Cumberland, as a well-to-do mechanic. He now ap- peared caresworn, gray, and evidently quite poor. ‘The world has not gone prosperously with you since I knew you in Cumberland,”’ i said, seating myself by his side. _** No, indeed, I have had a hard old time since then. I had a little money, and was fool enough to put it in an oil speculation, and it went into a hole where! couldn’t follow it. Then the hard times came, and 1 went from bad to worse until now [| am about
Charleston, S C., recently, to promofe emigration to Liberia, the speakers were chifly colored. They argued that there was not room enough in the South for both the white and colored population, and that in the South the colored people must continue to hold an inferior position: A proposition was made to form a joint stock company, with $300,000 capital, for the purchase of steamers, to be used for emi- gration and trading purposes, .Subscrip- tion books were opened. The meeting was quiet, orderly and apparently earnest.

HE GAVE AWAY LOTS OF MONEY.
An adroit swindler has been duping the people of several villages in Maine. A few days ago he turned up in Lisbon, and after giving away small change very liberally, commenced the sale of pins. After sell ing the pins he remarked that he supposed he could do as he chosed with the proceeds, and returned the money to the purchasers. He next took out eight chains, which he offered at eight dollars each. Eager pur<

‘- You have had a hard time of it?”
“* Hard times’ doesn’t express it. You fought four years to liberate the slaves ; we are in & worse condition than the nig- gers, for they had food, clothing. and shel-~ ter for themselves and families.

‘‘ WK CAN DESTROY 1HE ROAD,”’ HE 8AID,
with a calm determination really startling ; ‘“‘we can destroy every railroad in the United States. You don’t suppose this movement is confined to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad? It extends to every road, every workshop, and every factory in the land. Misery has made the workmen of the United States known to each other, and threatened starvation is our bond of union. These great monopolies will learn in a few days they must give way to justice or be destroyed.”’
{nthe meantime you will starve. You cut away the only support—a poor one, true, but a support—from under you by such violence.”
‘- No, we won't starve, the people sym. pathize with us; we shall not lack for bread. Why, do you know that this rail- road bas been so exacting, bard, and abus- ive of the people of Maryland and West Virginia, that they would not only be glad to see us punish it, but help us do it?”

BATTLE OF PLEVNa,
The Daily News’ correspondent sends from Persdin, near Plevna, a graphic ac- count of Tuesday’s battle, substantial facts of which are as already telegraphed, The foliowing closing scenes give a vivid ites of the extent of the Russian disaster.
‘eorrespondent is with Prince Schack~ oskay’scommand, Hedoes not purport to give any account of the condition or losses of Gen. Krueder's corps, and now all
of success anywhere was dead. Prince : koskoy had not a man left to cover his retreat, and the Turks struck withou: stint. They had the upper hand for once, and were determined to make the most of it. They advanced in swarms throug: dusk on their first origina) position, ana captured the Russian’s cannons before the batteries could be withdrawn. The Turks ish shells began once more to whistle over the ridge above Raidishoe and fai! into the village behind, now¢rammed with wound- ed. Streams of wounded, wending their painful way over the ridge, were incessant. lhe badly wounded, mostly lay where they fell. Later, in the darkness, the Bashi Bazouks swarmed over the battle field, and spared not. Lingering there on the :itge till the moon rose, the staff could hear from below the cries of pain and entreaties for mercy, and‘the yells of bloodthirsty fanatical triumph. The Turks had our range before dark, and we could watch the flash ‘of flame over against us, and then listen to the scream of the shell as it tore by us, The sound of rifle bullets was in« cesant, and escort, and retreating, the wounded were struck, About nine o'clock the staff gquitted the ridge, leaving it littered with groaning men. General Krudenri sent word in the morning that he lost severely, and could make no headway, and had resolved to fail back on line of River Osma. There had been talk of his troops being fresh, and of renewing the attack to day with his co- Operation. But we have no troops to at- tack with. A moderate estimate is that we have lost two regiments, say 5,000 men, out of our three brigades,
