Horace Maynard, the American Minis­ ter, resident in Constantinople: Daring the last winter and spring, •gents of the Bulgarian committee, at Bucharest, made an agitation at Bul­ garia for an insurrection against the Turkish government, and met with con­ siderable encouragement among the younger part ef the population. Owing to the betrayal of the plot the insurrec­ tion broke out prematurely on the 1st of May in the villages of Klissora, Kop- rishtisa, Panagurishta, Novo-Selo, Bel- lova, and, perhaps, one or two others. There was great alarm, and even a panic, at Tatar-Bazardjik and Fhilippopolis; numerous telegrams were sent to the Porte for regular troops, which, after some delay, were refused. The beys of fhilippopolis and Adrianople practi­ cally seized on the government, and armed the Mussulman inhabitants of the * towns and of the country, arms being sent for that purpose from Adrianople and Constantinople. These armed Mus­ sulmans, called irregular troops or Bashi-Bazouks, were then, together with the few irregular troops at hand, sent into a campaign against the Bulgarian villagers, for the purpose of putting down the insurrection and of disarming the Christian population. But few Cir­ cassians teem to have been employed at this time. Their settlements are east of Adrianople. It was a levee en masse of the Mussulman villages against their Christian neighbors. The insurgent villages made little or no resistance. In many instances they surrendered their arms upon the first demand. Nearly all the villages which were attacked by the Bashi-Bazouks were burned ana pillaged, as were also all those which had been abandoned by the terrified inhabitants. The inhabi­ tants of some villages were massacred after exhibitions of the most ferocious cruelty, and the violation not only of women and girls, but even of persons of the other sex. These crimes were com­ mitted by the regular troops as well as by the iBaehi-Bazouks* The number of villages which were burned in whole or in part in the dis­ tricts of Filippopolis, Boptchus, and [tTatar-Bazardjik is at least sixty-five. [Mr. Schuyler here presents a tabu­ lar statement, showing the number' of houses, churches and schools destroyed in each village. The total number of houses burned foots up 6,160; churches, 140; schools, 42.] It is very difficult to estimate the num- I ber of Bulgarians who were killed dur­ ing the ̂ few days that the disturbances lasted, tiut I. am inclined to put 15,000 as the lowest for the districts I have | named. The manner in which the troops did I their work will be seen from a few de- I tails gathered on the spot from persons |who escaped from the massacre. Perustitsa, a town of 400 houses and [between 3,000 and 4,000 inhabitants, I took no active part in the insurrection. [Becoming alarmed by the attitude of the [Turks i4 ,the neighboring villages, the (inhabitants sent a deputation to Aziz Jsaha, the mutessarif of Philippopolis, de fetid them. He returned them a itten message that he had no troops to and, and that they must defend them­ selves. When the Bashi-Bazouks ap­ peared before the town they therefore refused to surrender, entrenched them­ selves in a church, retreating finally to lother, and held out for five days,"until [hey saw the regular troops under iashid Pasha, when the remainder ive themselves up. Many of the in- ibitants escaped at the beginning cf le struggle, but ipany were shot down. Che church was bombarded, and about [,000 in, all were killed, many of them pomen and children. TUSSUM BET'S EXPLOITS. Klissura was nearly twice the size of ferustitsa and proportionately richer, as ly of the inhabitants were engaged in manufacture of attar of roses, and lany wore merchants traveling through le country. The insurrectionary move- ient began here on the 2d of May, but was not until the 12th that the Bashi- Bazouks, under the command of Tussum ay, of Korlova, attacked the place. A jw shots \tere fired, when the villagers rendered and fled to Koprishtista and • the mountains. More than 250 Bul- ins were killed, chiefly women and ldren. Panagurishta (Otluk-kul) was attacked a force of regular troops, together Fith Bashi-Bazouks, on the 11th of May. Ipparently, no message to surrender was >nt. After a slight opposition on the irt of the insurgents the town was ien. Many of the inhabitants fled, it 3,000 were massacred, the most of Item being women and children. Of ^ese about 300 belonged to the town of lagurialita, and the others to nine ^ighboring villages, the inhabitants of rich had taken refuge there. Four ldred buildings, including the bazaar Id the largest and best houses, were led. Both churches were complete- destroyed, and almost leveled to the lound. In one an old man was violated the altar and afterward burned alive. vo of the schools were burned, the rd--looking like a private house-- aped. From the numerous state- ^nts made to me, hardly a woman (in town escaped violation and brutal fcatment. The ruffians attacked cliil- 5n of 8 and old women of 80, sparing |ither age nor sex. Old men had their 38 torn opt and their limbs cut off and t to die unless some charitably dis­ ced men gave them the final thrust. Jgnaht women were ripped open and unborn fcafoes carried triumphantly I the points of bayonets and sabers, [ile little children were made to bear fe dripping heads of their comrades, scene of rapine, lust, and murder continued for three days, when the ivors were tmufa to bury the bodies the dead. The perpetrators of |se atrocities were chiefly regular ips commanded by Hafiz Pasha. Turks claim and the villagers admit death of fourteen Mussulmans, two rhom were women who were killed arms in their hands during a con- with a party that refused to sur- ier to the insurgents. While pillage reigned supreme at Koprishtitsa, and lust at Panagurishta, at Batak the Turks seemed to have no stronger passion than the thirst for blood. This village surrendered with­ out firing a shot, after a promise of safe­ ty, to the Bashi-Bazeuks, under the command of Ahmed Aga, of Burutina, a chief the rural police. Despite his promise, the few arms onoe surrendered, Ahmed Aga ordered the destruction of the village and the indiscriminate slaugh­ ter of the inhabitants, about 100 young girls being reserved to satisfy the lust of the conqueror before they, too, should be killed, I saw their bones, some with the flesh still clinging to them, in the hollow on the hillside, where the dogs were gnawing them. Not a house is now standing in the midst of this lovely val­ ley. The saw-mills--for the town had a large trade in timber and sawn boards-- which lined the rapid little river are all burned, and of the 8,000 inhabitants not 2,000 are known to survive. Fully 5,000 persons, a very large proportion of them women and children, perished here, and their bones whiten the ruins or their putrid bodies infect the air. The sight of Batah is enough to verify all that has been said about the acts of the Turks in repressing the Bulgarian insurrection. And yet I saw it three months after the massacre. On every side were human bones, skulls, ribs, and even skeletons, heads of girls still adorned with braids of long hair, bones of children, skeletons stjjl encased in clothing. Here was a house, the floor of which was white with the asnes and charred bones of thirty persons burned alive there. Here was the spot where the village notable, Trandafil, was spitted on a pike and then lasted, and where he is now buried ; there was a foul hole full of decomposing bodies ; here a mill-dam filled with swollen corpses ;ahere the school-house, where 200 women and children who had taken refuge there were burned alive, and here the church and church-yard, where fully 1,000 half-decayed, forms were still to be seen, filling the inclosure iik a heap several feet high, arms, feet and heads protruding from the stones which had vainly been thrown there to hide them, and poisoning all, the air. Since my visit, by orders of the Mutessarif, the Kaimakam of Tatar Bazardjik was sent to Batak with some lime to aid in the decomposition of the bodies and to prevent a peaitlence. Ahmed Aga, who commwded at the massacre, has been decorate^ and pro­ moted to the rank of Yuzbashi. Eugene SchutiiEB. Flogging a tiarroter in England. A prisoner named William Leonard, who was convicted of a highway robbery with violence upon a young lady in Lin­ coln's Inn Fields, at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, received, recently, in Newgate, the first install­ ment of the forty lashes awarded him. The prisoner had been previously flogged in 1870 for a previous offense, and the present is said to be almost the only instance in which the punishment of the cat has not proved effectual in preventing the offender from repeating acts of violence ; and Mr. Commissioner Kerr, having regard to this fact and the prisoner's previous bad character, sen­ tenced him to undergo two separate floggings of twenty lashes each at an in­ terval of one month, and then to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. The prisoner, it is stated, greatly dreaded the punishment, and frequently appealed to the Uovemor to relieve him from it, representing that he was ill and unable to bear the flogging. Dr. Gibson, the medical officer of the prison, was con­ sulted, but he could find no reason in the condition of the prisoner to justify any remission of the punishment. The moment he was brought into the room where the punishment was to be inflict­ ed, the reporter says, he begun howling and appealing to Mr. Smith and Dr. Gibson.to have mercy upon him, and it was with some difficulty that he was fixed to the whipping-block. At the first stroke he shrieked for mercy, and urged the warder who was administering the punishment not to give it him too hard. He continued shrieking and crying all the time the punishment was being in­ flicted, and when it was completed he pretended to faint, and he was then taken back to his cell. Eighty Years soldier. On the 15th of August last Marshal Von Wrangel celebrated the eightieth anniversary of the day on which he re­ ceived his first commission in the Prus­ sian army. In 1796 Frederic William II. was King, his famous uncle had been dead but ten years, Gen. Bonaparte had just achieved European fame by his first Italian campaign, and Washington was President of the United States; Jena was still ten years off, and Waterloo nineteen. In the interval Prussia was to be reduced to a third-rate State, her army limited to 42,000 men, and a French Emperor was to take away the sword of Frederick the Great " from the keeping of a nation unworthy to retain it." These gloomy days passed away; but Wrangle was to live into another age of troubles--to see a Prussian rev­ olution, Frederick William IV. refusing the imperial crown of Germany, and a new French Empire menacing the unity of the fatherland. Finally he has lived to hear of the wonderful events of 1870-1. The life of the veteran has ex­ tended over more than half the duration of the Prussian monarchy, which is not yet 176 years old. In his early youth he might have conversed with a survivor of the wars of Marlborough, and even listened to anecdotes by an eye-witness of Frederick I. 's coronation. A Revelation from the Mounds. While engaged in exploring an an­ cient mound in Champaign county, Ohio, Dr. Thomas Moses fell into it. The enthusiastic doctor was dug out by his friends, who, were rewarded by find.- ing and removing four perfect skeletons of grown persons and two of children. This makes eight in this mound. They also found about 100 conch-shape sea- shells lying about the neck of one of the children, and about as many pearl beads about the neck of a grown per­ son. Mica plates, crescent shape, and a peculiar shaped polished stone orna­ ment, probably an insignia of rank, were also found. The bodies were lying in regular line, with the heads pointing alternately to the east and west, and over and about them was a large amount of charcoal and ashes. The scientists are much elated over their success. ABOUT DEAD LETTERS* • V Pathetic , and Ridioaloms • Array ef Stray Mail Matter--Curiosities of the Dead Let­ ter Office. The paradise of fools, "to few un­ known," writes a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader, is the mental com­ ment as one sees the many evidences of people's carelessness, foolishness and stupidity which are displayed at the Dead-Letter Office Museum. Arranged in glass cases on four sides of the room are all these waifs of travel, displayed with a view to their respective attrac­ tions, and suggestive of the treachery of postage stamps and the adverse fate which sometimes overtakes evan mail- bags. There is everything known to the useful and ornamental: every tiling not smaller than a thimble or larger than a stove-pipe hat. Such a pathetic array of might-have- beens, so eloquent of disappointments and blighted hopes! Locks of hair-- there are whole switches of them--and as for photographs, we are told that there are forty bushels of them in the basement of the building. But fancy yourself the recipient of a nice parcel from the hands of tfee postman some morning, which, upon being opened, discloses a live snake! Whether one would go into raptures or hysterics at such a treasure would be a matter of taste, I suppose. But, then, people do send snakes through the mail, and some­ times they come back to the Dead-Letter Office for vjant of a claimant, and we see them leading a serenely spiritual existence in a glass jar among other stray postal curiosities. It is a fact that a Postmaster once found a small live alligator dispor ting among the letters and papers in a mail bag. There was also a bouquet of fresh flowers which had supped out of its box, and a couple of empty boxes, very similar in size and shape, and both ad­ dressed to ladies, left the poor mau in doubt as to which the alligator be­ longed, and to which the flowers. ' Im­ agine the fair recipient of the flowers finding a monster in her box, instead of the delicious offering which she had ex­ pected ! But the Postmaster made no blunder; he put the flowers into one box, the alligator into the other; notified the ladies of the slight confusion of property which had taken place, and directed each to exchange with the other if she should receive the wrong article. But he was gratified to learn shortly afterward that there had been no mis­ take made. Jewelry is one of the ar tides most commonly intrusted to letters and postal packages. One can hardly realize that there is a daily average or 12,000 or 15,000 dead letters, or about 400,000 a month. Al­ lowing one person to a letter, there are 400,000 persons every month who un­ dertake to send letters either without stamps, without addresses, or with can­ celled stamps, insufficient postage, or illegible or incorrect addresses. Many of them are without either stamp or ad­ dress, and often with no signature which gives the slightest clew to persons send­ ing them. There are 40,000 a month received that either lack postage or ad­ dress, or else have insufficient or can­ celled stamps; and, strange as it may seem, these are sometimes the most val­ uable letters, often containing currency or drafts for large amounts of money. It is estimated that there is about $4,000,000 in drafts and $75,000 in cash received yearly through letters. This is all returned, if possible, to persons sending it; but if any portion of it fails to find a claimant, it is turned over to the Postoffice fund. Very little difficulty is experienced in- restoring the checks and drafts to the rightful owners, but the money gener­ ally comes in small sums, and is usually sent in the most careless, haphazard fashion, and the loss of these small sums, and the ignorance or carelessness with which they are launched upon a journey, represents a deal of suffering and disappointment. Some hard-work­ ing man may send $20, the savings of a month's labor, to his wife and little ones, whom he has had to leave behind him; but, alas! he is one of forty thousand who trust to Providence, with­ out stamp or address, or else his writing or orthography are beyond mortal ken, and so the poor wife never gets the pit­ tance, which is her all. It is very amusing to see the letters opened, and guess at their contents be­ fore thoy aro brought to light. Three out of five from a bundle of unad- dressed letters contained money, one of them a $5-note. Then there are such quantities of dress samples in letters. One would imagine that &11 womankind had discovered a language in the inter­ change of these scraps of dress fabrics. One-half show their prosperity in bits of silks and satins, and the other half in bits of sis-penny calico, and it is only in the Dead-Letter Office that they meet on common ground. Certainly every fifth letter contains a photograph, and I don't imagine that any great care is taken to return lost photographs ; but any one so bereaved has the privilege of rumaging among the forty bushels 4>f human "counterfeits" which have ac­ cumulated here.

A , singular story comes from Wise county, Texas. One forenoon the wife of a fanner lay down on the back porch, went to sleep, and dreamed. In her dream she saw a newly-dug grave in the yard ; near the grave was a woman laid out in burial apparel; the woman she recognized as herself. When her hus­ band came to dinner she related her singular dream, and gave a minute de­ scription of everything that she had seen, locating her grave in the back­ yard, and the manner in which she was dressed. Her husband thought it singu­ lar, but paid no further attention to it. During the afternoon a woods-rat ran into the house. The farmer snatched up an old pistol, and snapped it at the escaping rat. While examining the treacherous fire arm it was accidentally discharged. The ball lodged in the wife's brain. She fell and expired in a few moments. Hold On, Roys. Nol more than ten years sgo there was an uneasy movement among the, farmers of Illinois and Iowa, and other interior States looking further West. Lands were offered for sale, on all sides, by weji-todo people, who wished to buy up townships, more or less, in the rich lands of Western Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The grasshoppers aud drouths drove this wave of emigration rudely back, and now it is well under­ stood that the cheap arable lands of the United States are exhausted. They have all passed to private ownership. Hence­ forth the price of land everywhere will go up as it never has done before. There are children now living who will see land in this country as unat­ tainable to the poor man as it is in Eu­ rope. The " old farm," from which tke country boy is so eager to escape, will become a little principality, to which the city clerk will look with'envy. The country' boy who will now make his best struggle to get a good piece of land, and when secured plant it it fruit trees, or preserve the natural growth now on it, will be a nabob in a small but very real way before the snows of age whiten his temples. The advice to young men now is not to " Go West," but to get land, get out and keep out of debt, and hold on t it. The mau who will be allured to part with his farm, by any of the mirages of town life, will have occasion to rue it bitterly. Hold on to the farm, boys, and in a few years from now you will not care to call the King your uncle.-- Interior. How Pete imaged Uinuelt A rather elderly darkey from the Post Oaks was inquiring of a policeman if he knew anything of his son Pete. The policeman replied, there was a young darkey in the lockup, that had a mouth like a stable door, and a piece bit out of one of his ears, that was locked up for breaking up a prayer meeting with an ax-handle. "Dat's him," exclaimed the overjoyed parent, "he told me he was gwine to 'muse hisself," and the police­ man conducted the parent to the bower in the market house, where Pete was re­ covering from bis amusement.--San An­ tonio {Tex.)
