The Circassian Struggle for nationality prom
ises TO be one of tho most sangunnry in the an
nails Of history. The recent revenge Of their
brave chief Scham mil, for piece of Russian trench-
cry, was terrible. He was induced TO send 1900
CircaSsians to the Achene tribe 20 assist them in
promised enterprise against the Russians. They
were treated at first with every demonstration of
friendship, but the false Achencs, aided by a
mounted regiment of Cossacks, fell upon their
counlrymen on the nj ght of The 18th of January,
and cut them off nearly to n man; only few
escaped to carry the sad Iidings of this dsabocaI
act Of deceit to Schomil. The Achenes and Rus
slams subsequently took possession of the village
of Cassaban and fortified it. In the meanwhile,
the Circassian chiefs not idle; they collected
together, it is said $4,000 men, and swearing by
the name Of Allah not TO spare single soul, they
arrived on the 2Sth of January before Cassaba n.
Early the next morning they carried the forts,
and dreadful scenes Of massacre ensued; none
were spared--men, women. children. Russians,
Achenes, all we're passed to the edge ofthe sword,
and when the sun of the 2slh set, 5000 human
beings had ceased to exist.
