HE A UR EG A HD.
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. Forrest with 25,001) or
30.000 oalnry to destroy nil tbo dopolH of
supplies, railroads, nud bridges from tho
Danube to middlo Russia, thenao to somo
port of the Blnok Hon, where I
would transport his ooinmand to some
othor favorable point, say in rear of the
Rnssiau forces operating in Asia, south of
the Blaok Sea. Forrest would be provid
ed with camels to transport bis light Hold
artillery,baggage aud light pontoon trains.
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 ?
Moreover, I am coufidont that tho othor
Powors of Europe will never allow Russia
to g-t any uonror to Constantinople than
tho Balkan mountains, if oven silo gets
thero. Voila mon plan do campayne.
“But I nw n man of poaeo, now that
Louisiana iH free.
I remain your friond,
“G. T. Beauregard.

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,
