from Vienna to the Timet says Austria’s
contemplated military measures are grad-
nally ooming to be regarded in their true
light, as measures of precaution against
all oontingenoies which may arise in the
provinces bordering on Austria. After
crossing of the Danube questions of for
eign powers on the subjeot have been
answered in the frankest manner. It

of Zeidekav, June 16th, the Turks having
fallen baok on Delibaba, the Bnsaian left
wing took possession of Delibaba pass,
and fortified it. The Bussian right wing
having retired somewhat Mukhtar
Pasha telegraphed to Bached Pasha to
join him with 9 of the 12 battalions form
ing tbe Turkish left wing. Mukhtar
united his headquarters at Zuvin on the
night of June 17th for Delibaba, to take
command of the Turkish right wing in
person.

On the following day he received rein
forcements whioh raised the strength of

oavalry regiments, and three batteries.

bered 20,060 men with five batteries.
Severe skirmishes were fought on June
20th.
THE PASS ATTACKED.
On the 21st Mukhtar Pasha attacked tbe
Pass. The fighting lasted from 6 o’clock
in tbe morning nntil 8 in tbe evening.
THE TUBES REPEL THE RUSSIANS.
The Bussiana were at first driven from
their positions, but they afterwards re-
oaptnred them and attaoked tbe Turkish
Ponteinson heights with obarges of in
fantry and oavalry. The Turkish front
gave way for a short time, but afterwards
rallied, ohsrged the Bussiana and drove
them baok. Tbe Turks then opened a
terrible artillery fire aud compelled the.
Bussiana to fall back with heavy loss.
LOSSES OF THE TWO ARMIES.

killed and about the same number wound
ed. It is reported the Bussian lasses were
about double this.

three hours.

two batteries occupy an excellent position,
whioh is unassailable in fronl.
THE BUSMANS ADVANCE UPON THESE HEAD
QUARTERS.

advance against this position. The main
body of this force is at Zarioamiob, five
hours, march from Zsrim and its advance
guard is at Yenitotou.
It is very probable that a battle will be
fought in these quarters.
The Turks wait assault, and if it is not
attempted they will advanoe and endeav
or to oruah this oorps. Ismail Pasha,
Governor of Erzeroum, oommands the
oentre during the absenoe of Mukhtar

London, June 24.—Gen. Grant waa
present last night at the banquet by tbe

Prinee of Wales presided. Prinoe Leo
pold, Prinoe Chriatain, tha Prinoe of Leu-
ingen, the Prinoe of Saxe Weimer, the

ford, the Earl of Derby, tbe Earl of Oan-

pany present.
Tbe Prinoe of Wales referring to Gen.
Grant in tbe aoarse of hia speeoh, said on

liar gratification to us Englishmen to re.
oeive as our guests Gen. Grant. [Cbaers] I
oau assure him for myself and for all loyal
subjects of tbe Queen that it baa given ns
great pleasure to see him as a guest in

Grant’s name. Me said tbe strangers of
all olasseB, men of letters, arts, soienoe,
state and all that has been most worthy
and great have, as it were, oome to this
oentre of eivilization. I venture, without
disparagement to any of those illlnsfrious
guests, to say that never has there been
one to whom wo willingly sooord s freer,
fuller, heartier welcome than we do to
Gen. Grant on this occasion, not merely
beoause of a distinguished General, nor
beoeuse be haB once filled tbe highest of
fice whioh the citizens of his great ooun
try oan give, bnt beoause we look upon
him as representing that good will and
affection whioh ought to subsist between
ns and tbe United States. It has been
my'dnty to be oonneoted with the great
dominion of Canada, stretching several
thousand milea along tbe frontier of the
United States, and during tbe last three
or four years, I oan truthfully say that
nothing impressed me more than the in
terchange of friendly and good offloes
which took plaoe between the two coun
tries under tbe anspioes of Gen. Grant.
obant’b reply.
General Grant replied that he felt more
impressed than he had possibly ever felt
before on any oooasion. He oame here
under the impression that Ibis was Trin
ity House, and that Trinity oonsistsd of
tbe army, navy and peace. He, there
fore, thought it was a place of quietude,
where there would be no talk or toasts.
He had been, therefore, naturally sur
prised at bearing both. He bad beard
some remarks from His Boysl Highness
wbioh compelled him to Bay a word in
response. He begged to thank His High
ness for these remarks. There had been
other things said during tbe evening high
ly gratifying to him. Not the least grat
ifying was it to bear that there were occa
sionally, in this oountry, party fights as
well as in Amerios. He bad seen before
now s war between three departinenta of
the State, tbe executive, the judioial and
tbe legislative. He had not seen tbe
politioal parties'of England go so far os
tbst. Hs wonld imitate their chaplain,
who had set a good example of CRstory,
that was shortness, and say no more then
simply thank His Boysl Highness and the
oompsny on behalf of the visitors.
Duke Nioholaa, but from s communica
tion received from the Bussian Govern
ment,hs thought that would set the matter
right.

faot that should be mentioned in connec

among them life from its first oonoep-

tbe people are taught that the destruotion

terian Church, held in New York iu 1860,
a resolution was introduced, whioh, after
stating the greatness and frequency of
this crime, goes on to say, “We expeot
those who have been oallod to preach tbs
gospel, and all who love purity and truth
and who wonld avert the just judgment
of Almighty God from the ohuroh aud na
tion, that they be no longer silent or
tolerant of those things, bnt that they
take a bold stand, that tbe floods of cor
ruption aud oruelty may be stayed."
Thun we find that nearly all bodies of
Christians, as welt as God's ancient peo
ple, are ready to act as one man sgainBt
this evil, and it becomes us with discre
tion, but with delioaoy, with firmness, and
with fearlessness, to speak ont as oppor
tunity will be given, warning words and
Christian oounsels. Let not the Jewish rab
bi Bud the Roman prieBt outdo us in this
effort to oheok this great social and moral
evil, whiob, wo are told by eminent phy
sicians in all parts of the oountry, is eat
ing at tbe very marrow and life of the
family constitution ordained and blessed
of God.

The following ia a portion of tbo annual
address of Bishop Stevens, of the Episco
pal Ohuroh of Philadelphia.
A few weeks ago a large meeting of in
fluential citizens was held at Association
Hall, at whioh measures were taken, with
the oo-operation of the Medical Society,
of Philadelphia, to oheok, by legal aud
moral moans, the evil resulting from Ibe
circulation of ohsoene literature and pre-
natsl murder. I regretted that I was pre
vented from being present, as tbe sub
jects under consideration are of the
greatest import to the community. Such
evils, for fear of offending delioaoy, are
suffered to pass on iu silenoe, until the
very enormity of their growth orios out
for repressive legislation. This licentious
literature must not be suffered to insidu-
ously undermine personal purity and child
hood's innocence without vigorous efforts
to stop such sapping and demoralizing
work, and punish those who arc engaged
in this nefarious trsfiio.
It becomes us, brethren, to throw the
whole weight of our influence as laymen,
as clergymen, against the stealthy ad
vanoes of this foal literature, this moral
pestilence freighted with physical and
moral diseases, and tending to the eternal
ruin of soul and body.
Intimately related to this subjeot is an
other sooial ovil, confined to a narrow
circle, and covered np mostly among the
• seorecieH of domestic life, bnt wbioh has
so oropped out of late into bitter fruits,
and is so fall of preseut and prospective
evils to tbe individual, to tbo family, and
to the Church of God, that psinful as it is
to uientiou it, I feel it my duty to call
your attention to it. I do this even at
the risk of offending some who think it
unwise to speak of suoh a thing iu
promiscuous assembly. I refer to the
orime of the destruction of anti-natal life.
This has been called by physicians a fash
ionable orime. Statistics prove that it is a
wide-spread and deep-rooted crime; that it
appears among those whose social and
even religious standing is paomineut and
above suspicion, and that, in oonse
quence of ignoranoc as to the nature of
tbeir acts, multitudes of refined and del
icate women are guilty of destroying life
before it oomes to birth. This orime is
according to medieal statistics steadily ou
the inorease. The percentage of still
births is nearly fourfold more now than
seventy years ago, and, at this ratio, it
will tell more forcibly than it does now,
not only upon the increase of population,
but in deteriorating tbe moral senso of
tbe commnnity and dwarfing ourdomestio
circles. It is a orime done mostly to pre
vent inconvenience and Buffering ; to
avoid the labor and expense of rearing
ehildren, and indulge more freely in tbe
pleasures and frivolities of fashionable
life. That this aot of fcBtioide is a taking
of human life ia prove by all tbe research
es of physiology and the testimony of the
whole mediosl profession, so that there
oan he no shadow of donbt as to its gnilt
on any reasonable end intelligent mind.
Yet thonsands of mothers, moved by va
rious selfish considerations, do this igno
rantly, without one thought of sin, aud
wbo wonld be shooked did they bnt know
the physical and moral evil whioh they
were bringing on themselves and on the
oommunity.
It iB not seemly to discuss a subjeot
like this in the pulpit, yet the clergy as
the ouatodians of God’a commandments
should be ready at ail proper times to
sbow tbst tbe sixth commandment, is
brokeu by pre ss well ss post-natal mur
der, and that in tha sight of Him who
