Circassian Eilti-j. A correspondent-of the Lontlou Times, writing from Verna under date of- Jiinc 1, givos the annexed.; ideK of the suffering experienced' by the Circassians,-who have been driven from theijj conn try by the Russians : j I fceo by the English papers that it is proposed. to raise a subscription for these poor; Circassians, and never did people need it more.? There has been a .mistaKe as to whore they are to be landed in Bulgaria. The Government meant to send tliem nearly.alltoRustchuk, but contracted with the shippers for a'passage only to*this place, which'is 100 thilcs from their destination^ Thg Circaswaus afe accordingly all turned ashore till thp Pasha concludes a ' fresh bargain with the Captains to carry them on. This has happened three or four times al ready, and in some cases the steamers have gone awa}' and left the miserable creatures to shift for themselves. Many of the Circassians speak Turkish, and I lmve'h&d long talks with them. Their descriptions of tire hardships tney have suffered are heartrending. They tell me that most of them . were turned *out of their )l(SnlUQ Tit? lltA TV iirMo nn 4' ksj uiw ifcUDi)!ttiin 111 me \* inier ^ioiir months ago) and driven*down to tho sen t-Uio, where they waited long for the means of getting away. Hundreds of tlicra died from the ci>ld, and hundreds of hunger.' We have all bad it, or have it now ; and 1. * . answer for the truth of this, for nearly ever^ man, woman and child I sec is marked, and in hundreds the laces and hands are quite raw with it. Since 1 have been here (thieo weeks) tbtce hundred, at the lowest estimate, have been buried in the sands' ontsido the town.? They all say they died of cold. We have had much rain, especially- at night, and there pour wretches have had'to sleep out in it with nothing to cover tnom but their ordinary clot I en, consisting orify,.m,the case of the women, of n sort of .a Jong dressing gown and a pair of drawers. ? .. After one of these nights the dead lie thick 1 J -.1 1 - ' wii. iuc giuunu, jtiiu umors longing, I should think, to follow them: Of course, the women and Children Buffer most. To-day I saw a ship loach landed and marched out of town. They . were m.a dreadful state. I noticed one wo man carried by five men; she was a mere skeleton. Iu her arms she had a buby that could not have been more than a few hours old. ; I saw a man walking by a cart, with five of his children in it; lie was a fine looking follow, but oh, .to thin ! and the poor children the most fearful objects I ever saw. I Bhall never forget the sight I Their skins were so tight over the bones that it seemed they must come through ; and indeed, in the case of one poor littlo thing about three years old, covered with sores, I believe the bones were through the skin. They tell mc it is not starvation from hunger that is killing them, but starvation from cold: It has , been a'verv cold spring here, and even now a n --t ? ?? ? w?u uioujea man would sutler from sleeping in the open air at night. The Turkish GovernI . nient does what it can for these miserable people but that amounts only to bringing them here, and giving each person two pounds ol bread per day.

Excem.ent Reaso^T?-The'^ffilo Courier gives as a reason for not publishing the Declaration of Independence that it might be construed into an attack upon tho Administration, and because it is.fullol "copperhead" sentiments and Demofcratic principles which are held to be "treasonable" by tho powers that be. A Passage from'Macauia.?"Father,"it would not i require much stretch of the imagination- to believe that by some descendental metempsychosis, I had become on experienced member of| the sacred gnomides, torn ruthlessly from my sisterhood in Cerro do Frio ou the cold dreary cuvers of the Agnthyrsi." Jolly, lofiy, and luminous, isn't it? . - - - v'fThe Herald, iu speaking of the observance of GothAm, says: ''Yesterday was n very fast day. The poo-, pie celobrated it by excursions on fast steamers nnd I drives bohind fast horses. But there wns very little fasting, except among those too poor to eat; und very little praying, except in the churches, whoro the parsons are paid so much a year for that business." It will be seeu, from the tenor of our dispatches this I morning, that McClellan has. at present, the best chance i for receiving the nomination of the Chicago Convention. It would he > rash however to infer that ho will ceitainly be the nominee. After all the man id of less consequence than the plat form ; and if a peace plat" for.n bo adopted, it makes little diffbroncQ who is put on it. , < | /vllle. ! * A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy [ says: j "Amlersonvillc was an in t c.resting and novel .spectacle tome.' -The Yankee prisoner* within | the stockade, about 30,Oft) in number, when I closely viewed, ve>?niftle more in their motinna j a hive oi bees men through a glass opening I than anything else T can think of.

W. informed me that very soon the lumber would he procurable to put up temporary shanties for their comfort, A fine but small stream of water runs through the stockade, supplying them with water for1 birthing and other nnrDOHOR. I saw hnndtwlo nf k..?i. ing in this stream at once. Others not engaged in bathing were walking about among their fellows, each, in the language of the famous ballad of Young Tniheylanc, 'a mother naked man.' 1 learn that many ot them have bartered away nearly all their clothingjbr tobacco. I On the whole,-their condition, rad ns it is, ' and bad a? it deserves to be, seemed better than could have been expected. In spite, bowever, of every effort to treat them with hn1 inanity, their mortality is great, averaging k about one hundred per day. About 2,000 are 1 in hospital. Over 36,000 have been received ' since the establishment of .Andersonville as a " military prison. 1 "The prisoners are said to bo very docile bnt ^ greatly exasperated at the Royal Ape for not exchanging them.

Hancock afterwards with chew from the field about dark for reasons stated in his dispatch. He says he lost 200 artillerists and somb of his guns and 250 horses. He estimates the Confederate loss at 1200 to 1500, but admits this to be a mere conjective. The fight was the most desperate of the war considering the numbers engaged. Mcadc< telegraphs that his rearguard reports the field strewn with the rebel dead and wounded. Rebel prisoneis state their loss was greater than over before during the war.
