HIS SYMPATHIES WITH THE TURKS, AND WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HE WAS IN COM MAND. LoulsvlUe Commercial, May 19th], The following lettor will be of iutorest to those who arc studying the ltussiau- Turkisti war. It is addressed by General Beauregard to Colonel Blnutou Duncan: In 1800 tho Sovereign Prinoe of ltou- mauia tendered to Gen. Beau egnrd, then in Paris, the command of bis armies. He offered the rank of Field Marshal, with a liberal outfit, and *100,000 a year pay. Gea. Beauregard was to be at liberty to soleot his own staff and certain other offi cers, and tho army was to bo kept at 100.000 mon. Col. Dunoau would proba bly havo been his ohiof of staff. Gen. Beauregard, belioviug that it was his duty to remain and share the fate of those whose fortune he had shared for four years of war, and that ho might lie serviceable to his own friends and fellow- Confederstes, declined tbe proposals Iu view of tbo position wbiob, lint for bis dealiuation, Gen. Beauregard might now ooonpy as one of tbe coespiouous figures of tbe great world's drama, his letter will be of peouliar intorost. As armies shape the deBtinieB of oountrios, and ns mon- arohioal armies nro often wielded accord ing to tbo will of it popular commanding general, it ia a groat loss to tbe Turks that General Boauregard did not go to Roumania, at tbo notion of that country might have been shaped for Turkey in stead of for Russia. OEN. BKAUBEOARd’s LETTER. * New Orleans, ) May 10, 1877. j My Dear Colonel: I would indeed have been in the midst of it. But I must say that my sympathies, if nuy, nro with the Turks, for tboy nro the weaker party, auU defending their homes nud ilresidos. “As to tho protexl for tbo wnr on Iho part of Russia (the protection . of tho Christians in Turkey,) it reminds mo of the complaint of the wolf drinking at tho same spring with tho lamb. “As you remark, Turkey offors magnifi cent lines of defenso,—tho Danube nud the Balkan Mountains. With two or throe hundred thousand Confederate troops, I would gusruutoo to hold thorn against uny number of Russians. If I were iu command thero, I would fortify those liueH well, nud with my iranalad gunboats I would prevent tho construction of any bridges across tbo Danube. I would send Gun.

He would bavo also a full supply of car rier pigeons to keep me posted as to bis movements. My fleot iu tho Blaok Son would keep it free of tho onomy's ships. I would destroy their supplies at OdesHii, and any other porlH on the Blaok Sen. In othor words, I would bring starvation to my nssistnuoo. How long do you think Russia oould stnnd such a dofousive war ?

Constantinople Oorroapontlent of tho Now York Moroury.] The saorod emblem of Turkish faith will play a groat role in this war. It dark green about two yards long nud one and a half wide, and was originally a our tain in tbo hodchambor of Aisclia, tbo best beloved wife of tho prophot, who died in her bed. When Mohammed was on his deathhod and about to tuko leave of his Generals, who were about to enter upon a new onmpaign against tho heathen, the dying prophet gave them tho onrtaiu that overhung his bed as n battle ting, so that the faithful should forover remember that they were doing battlo for God aud His prophot. Ever sinoo that time, whenever the Caliphs wont into battlo they took this flug with thorn, hut in later years it was resolved to carry this holy relio into battle only whonever a war of religion was being waged. In 1083 tbe same flag waved from tho walls of Vienna, and again whenever tho oanso of Islam hnd to be defendod it was unfurled to rally tbe faithfnl and onoourage them to deeds of heroism. What, however, is tbo most important feature of this flag is tho boliof that any Mussul man wtui fights and falls under its shad ows dies as a martyr, for whom tho por tals of hoaven are opened at once. From the Caliphs of old tkiH banner bas been aaorodly retained by tho Sultans of our day, in order (o inspire still more zeal in their soldiers. Yesterday tho unfolding of this time-honored banner took place with great pomp and ooremony by Iho Sultan, Ahdtil Hamid, in person, who handed it to tbo Hohoik Kl-Islam in sol- omn trust. Tho latter wbh mounted on a horse literally covered with gold, and, while holding tho snored banner in bis bands, he was accompanied by the Sul tan, himaolf also on horsobnek, with sword in hand, through tho principal streets of Constantinople. Couriers and heralds proceeded the two high dignita ries of State, aud, pointing to the unfurl ed banner, londly proclaiming to the peo ple that tho war for the failh bad com menced. This morning the same rolic— whioh tho Turks regard with the same holy awe as tho Israelites of old did tho Ark of the Law—was sent under heavy escort to tho Danube, there to lead (he Turkish hosts to battlo for Allah and his prophet. lio mass mooting held hero to day, the following resolutions wero unanimously adopted : Whereas, Public press dispntohea have recently appeared in the New Orleans pa pers, reporting that there Iibb been, and is likely to be violent resistance to the sequestration by United States deputy marshals, of a quantity of pine logs in Calcasieu parish, under a writ issued by the United States Circuit Couit iu Now Orleans ; and Whereas, Hiiob reports have already led to tbo Bonding of a Marshal’s armed posse from Now Orleans to Caloasieu, and have iuducod tbo Governor of tbe State to tele graph to Nome of our prineipsl oiiizens, an exhortation to offer no resistance to said Marshal’s posse ; and Whereas, snoh reports are well oalon- lated to injure our parish abroad, and onnse grave anxiety to tho Chief Execu tive of our 8talo ; therefore, Resolved, That after tho most careful inquiry, we can find no foundation whnt- ovor for said publio roports, except that three oitizons of our pnrish bavo used harsh langungo towards one of tho depnty mariihals, and two porsonH acting as keep ers of somo of tho logs seized. Resolved, That it would be an outrage on tbo people of Cnloosiau, always known as n law-abiding people, to hold them re sponsible for tbo nota of only three of their fellow-oitizens. Resolved, That though the writ of se questration in this instanoe was wrong fully obtained, and has been arbitrarily and illegally oxoontod, tho people of Oal- oaaien are not only determined to respect tho authority of tbo conrt from whioh it isstiod, and of tho offioers charged, or in any way oonoerned with its oxeontion, but they pledge the honor of Caloasieu that those officers can have nt any mo ment tlioy may ohooso to call for it, any assistance from our oitizons in tho dis charge of tlioir official duty in this matter which those officers havo a legal right to reqnlro. Resolved, That tho people o#Galea- sieu will always feel a personal pride in assisli «K Governor Niofiolls to keep his publio and solemn plodgo, that tho peace of Louisiana shall ho sacredly pre served. Hesolved, That the Lake Ohnrlas Echo be requested to publish these resolutions, and that tho Now Orleans and Galveston papers aro requested to copy the same. Geo. H. Wells, E J. Lyons, M. D., E. A.
