Tlie correepontlent ol tho Daily News with CJeueral Tcher-uayeil'e Tcher-uayeil'e army telegraphs that journal a Ueicription of Sunilay'a battle, and the pnsition of nllUirg afterwimls. The lollowing are extrncla: Tlie Turk foiiRlit with doggrd pertiuaciiy and occasionally with brilliant elan, which claim the highest admiration. The limwiaiiB fought hard nod atoutly, but the Russians had borne the brunt of the fight, and as for the Serviuns it was not their day. The full weight and significance of the Servian defeat is not easily estimated, and it is too early to form an opinion of the loss incurred. We do nut know where the troops are, to say nothing of the wounded, many ol whom I fear will never be brought in. The Deligrad wing of the army is in a condition of demoralization and at least temporarily tempo-rarily disabled. General Horvatovich, with the right wing, ia retiring out of the rfiftch of the Turks, and it would be folly for him lo oiler battle. The UusbiuQ oQicers.are leaving. They decline to he massacred for a people whom they denonnco as destitute of all moral spirit. They have no words lo express their contempt and disgust for the piisilaniinity of tho Servian woMiers. The whole territory in Morav valley, south of Tarakin, is in tho course of universal evacuation, painfully RCCcloniUii by incorrect rumora of Sunday's loesin, no certain estimate of which can be formed. Most of the 'Servian battalions are more or lees disenthraled, and nobody no-body can distinguish between the killed, wounded and . missing, the latter bein Btragglcrs. Many wcuiidid must have been leit on the field uf battle. |
