WAR IN THE EAST.
“We’ll Cross the River—Happy, oh! Hap
py I”
Latest reports bring us the news that the
whole Russian army had crossed the Danube
Into Bulgaria. 'The first crossing, it seems,
was effected at Galatz ; a bridge was thrown
over from Ibrail, without opposition from the
Turks, but the evening it was completed, the
latter massed in large numbers to prevent
the passage by the Russians. Just at dark.
Gen. Neimmerman, who was to lead the first
party across, disappeared from Ibrail, and
about day-break next morning, the inhabi
tants were startled by the sounds of heavy
fighting on the other side of the river.
Gen. Seimmerman had gone to Galatz
and crossed the Danube with two regiments
of infantry and a proportionate amount of
artillery and cavalry, in a number of boats,
towed over by steam, and had taken the
Turks on the flank and rear. The latter gave
way, and the crossing on the bridge was im
mediatel}' commenced. The Russians first
took possession of the heights at Zizila, se
curing such advantage that the Turks were
obliged to fall back from Mutchin, which is
now occupied by the Russians, who were re
ceived with great joy by the Christians. It
is said that the Russians will throw across
heavy columns, on the extreme right, up the
river, and on the extreme left on the mouth,
so as to flank the defensive quadrilateral
formed by the Turks, The first crossing
was obstinately resisted, but we hope now to
hear of quick work, and a prompt ending to
these hostilities so annoying to the rest of the
world.
TURK AND MONTENEGRIN.
A correspondent at Cettinjc telegraphs:
“Turkish losses are absolutely incalculable.
All Sunday afternoon, artillery and rifles
have been firing on the column, as it moved
down the valley, which will continue till the
columns comes under the guns of Spurz.”—
The Montenegrins are reported to have lost
very heavily. Fighting there lias been unusu
ally bloody. In the recent contest the Mon
tenegrins had only 8,000 or 10,000 opposed to
20.000 or 30,000. It is said that 60.000
Turks are operating against this brave little
state, which can muster in all, hardly half that
number.
MOVEMENTS IN ASIA MINOR.
Both armies are in the valley of the Arras
near Zeidekan. On the 16th, some heavy
fighting occurred, and the losses seem to have
been heavy on both sides. The Russians
seizing a commanding hill quickly fortified a
position from which they could rake the en
tire front of the Turkish line. After a brave
resistance the Turks were forced to fall back
toward Mukhta Pasha’s main army and their
retreat was soon converted into a rout by a
charge of cavalry. Latest telegrams report
that a general engagement commenced on
the 23d, and had continued for throe days,
leaving the final result uncertain. No very
reliable information has yet been received,
but the fighting is certainly very heavy—one
engagement continuing for thirty-three hours.
The Turks acknowledge a loss of more than
2000 killed, and the Russians arc reported to
have suffered much more severely. It is sup
posed that the question will he decided at
that point, as the armies are still engaged,
or very near each other. We await results.
Later. — Murktar Pasha seems to have
gained considerable advantage over the Rus
sians in the late three days fight in the East.
This is confirmed by the latest dispatches.
“Returning Reason.”
In endeavoring to cheer up and inspire our
readers with the hope of a “better day com
ing,wc consider it no “reflection” on our
own qualifications to employ the language of
other and wiser heads. The Columbus Sun
day Enquirer , under the above “caption,”
draws this encouraging picture of the future :
“Never in the gloomiest periods of our
country’s condition have we ever despaired
of the final victory for the good sense of our
people. Even when the tempting prices for
cotton temporarily robbed us of reason and
run the planters mad with present profits
and future loss, wc still had faith that time
would set all things to right; our section
again assert its power ; our citizens reap the
rewards of industry and well directed energy
and a land beauteous in prosperity attract
the attention of the world. The time is
drawing nigh. Every journal of the South
teems with glorious news of spendid crops
of grain. The horse and cow will revel in
oats, and the poor even be supplied with
“white bread.” Wheat crops are said to be
the best for twenty years; oats a fair ave
rage, while every farm is dotted with growing
pasturage, and its acres smiling in peanuts
and pumpkins. Improved stock is rapidly
being introduced. Better hogs, finer cows
are the rule. In this, we point with pride to
the part the stock farms of Columbus are
doing to make ours the land of meat and
milk. Along witli all this the acreage in corn
is good, and wc can reasonably hope for a
full living another year. The idle money no
longer employed in buying negroes, lands
and more mules is seeking, year by year,
investment in mills, machinery, factories and
mines. Georgia’s gold mines are attracting
the capital from abroad, but the mone\ r of
our own people, little by little, is accumula
ted into corporations for manufacturing iron,
cotton and wool. Old men who, weary with
the risks of trade, invest their means in these
institutions—women and minors find safe
uses here for their mite. All over the South
are springing up factories, mills and foun
dries. Our people are interested in them,
arc sustaining them, and see that they have
fair play. These are the correct avenues for
the use of money. We have hope of greater
results for the future. We are proud of the
deeds of the past. All in all. we have an
abiding faith in the honesty and good inten
tions of Georgians.”
Cooked a Snake.— One day this week,
as a young lady of Lexington was about to
prepare dinner, she discovered a snake coil
ed up in her stove. Fearing that it might es
cape and be at large in the house, she closed
the oven door, built a fire, and cooked his
snakeship to a turn. These reptiles are re
nlentifu! this year.— Oj. Echo
Personnel of the Convention.
In accordance with the provisions of the
act under which the election was held the
Convention will assemble in Atlanta on the
11th of next month. The body will number
one hundred and ninety members chosen
from the Senatorial Districts of the State.—
The list of delegates shows that some of the
ablest and most distinguished men in Geor
gia have been elected ami that the body gener
ally be composed of admirable material.—
Among the statesmen and lawyers we find
Charles J. Jenkins, Robert Toombs, Josh
ua llill, Augustus Reese, A. R. Lawton,
W.T. Wofford, Augustus R. Wright, Wm.
M. Reese, L. J. Gartrkll, A. 11. Hansell,
Hugh Buchanan, T. G. Lawson, W. O. Tug
gle and J. R. Brown. Among the represen
tatives of the business and commercial inter
ests of the State we find John Screven, Nel
son Tift, T. M. Furlow, J. L. Warren, W.
11. Ross, Robert 11. May, Geo. R. Sibley,
B. E. Crane and Adam Johnson. The
farmers are represented by a number of high
ly intelligent and practical agriculturists, who
will see to it that the interests of that great
class are fully protected in the new organic
law. The journalists of the State, who made
such a faithful fight for the Convention, and
through whose labors the question was car
ried, have able representation in the person
of that talented and veteran journalist, W.
T. Thompson, editor of the Savannah News.
Altogether, the Convention is one of which
Georgians may justly feel proud, and from
the deliberations of which great good
expected to accrue to the State and to the
people.— Chron. <s• Const.
What Does it Mean?
In holding up to “public gaze” some of
the peccadilloes of the Trustees of the State
University, Dr. Andrews, the talented editor
of the Washington (Wilkes Cos.) Gazette, has
this to say :
“Then the egregious folly of introducing a
religious test. This is so weak and so silly
that it would be ludicrous if it were not made
serious by its etfeets upon the University.
One of the grandest features of the Constitu
tion of the United States is that it compels
the toleration of. gives absolute freedom to
all religious opinions, and allows the citizens
of the country to believe or not to believe as
they choose. And it positively prohibits
any and all religious tests in the distribution
of office and other public favors. Vet the
Trustees of the University of Georgia first
sink the institution which they have in charge
to the lowest level possible and then insist
upon a religious test for the holding of offices
within their gift. This is preposterous!
This institution is a State affair, and should
have nothing on earth to do with religion in
any shape or form. All that the trustees
have any right to demand is that the profes
sors be men of good moral characters, upright
gentlemen, and correct in their lives and
habits, and then the chief thing after all, are
thc} r competent to teach their respective
branches? They have nothing more to do
with them, or should have nothing more.
They have no business with their religious
views, no right to ask what they are or wheth
er they have any at all. The idea of the
trustees of the University excluding a com
petent man from a chair, because the denom
ination to which he Ik longs is not so nume
rous in the State as the Baptist, and there
fore is not entitled to as many professorships
as the Baptist den< mination! Was ever
such egregious folly, such narrow minded
bigotry heard of in an enlightened age! Is
it not preposterous to make the gift of a col
lege professorship depend upon the religious
sentiments of a man, and to apportion the
several chairs out in | roportion to the num
ber of the various religious sects in the State !
We fear that our wise trustees have in their
narrow minded bigotry overlooked a large
number of worthy citizens who may claim,
very reasonably, according to this ruling,
representation in the faculty. Has any pro
vision been made for the very large number
of sinners in Georgia? Have the unbelievers
and the unconverted been provided with a
fair representation in your faculty? If so
we don’t think even the Baptists can claim
much in the way of professors; we doubt if
they would be entitled to a whole one. Then
who represents the Jews, and what professor
have the Universalists in your faculty?—
Then, if you make a religious test, we want
some other tests. We want the farmers, the
merchants, the lawyers, the doctors, the
clergy, and all the trades, and each and every
calling to be represented on your faculty.”
Tho Capital Removal.
Col. 11. 11. Jones, in his paper (the Macon
Telcrjraph t$- Mess.) of a late date, gives, in
his “editorial correspondence” from Atlanta,
the following advice concerning the agitation
of this question before the forthcoming Con
vention :
The removal question is the one grand
disturbing element and source of uneasiness
to the denizens of this city.
Let the Convention resolve to transfer the
seat of government back to Milledgeville
again, and a perfect crusade will be preach
ed against ratification, it matters not if the
new fundamental law be perfect in all other
respects. And vice versa, if they refuse to do
this, and assume to locate it permanently in
Atlanta, near one half of Georgia will oppose
the adoption of the new constitution, or give
it a lukewarm support. It is easy, therefore,
to see that in either contingency, a powerful
opposition will be arrayed against ratification,
which, when supplemented by the usual
amount of log rolling and the accession of
malcontents from other objections, will place
the work of the Convention in imminent
jeopardy.
The plain and obvious remedy, therefore, is,
for all of the friends af anew Constitution in
the Convention and out of it, to unite in the
fixed determination to seperatc the capital
queston wholly and entirely from the purvey
and work of that body. This can be done, we
believe, with entire satisfaction to all concern
ed, by the simple passage of an ordinance
remanding the location of the Capital to the
decision of the popular voice at the next
general election. Let the people determine
the matter for themselves, and then a vexed
and irritating issue will be forever removed
from the arena of politics.
All good citizens should be especially anx
ious that no antagonizing elements are allow
ed to endanger the success of that model
constitution, which we feel assured will be
the crowning work of the noble body of
representatives who have been chosen to
revise and perfect the fundamental law of the
State.

Threatening Aspect of Affairs in France.
Bell Brittan, writing from Paris to the New
Orleans Picayune , saj's : •• Things do not look
so well in France. \\ r e arc threatened with
a dissolution of the Assembly and a general
election in the autumn. The old and eternal
antagonisms—Conservatism and Radiolisin—
are again fiercely active. Marshal MacMahon
represents the centripetal element, and Gam
betta the centrifugal. Between the two, the
star of the young Napoleon is likely to drop
into the centre of the S3’ stem and become the
controlling power. Napoleon ism is still t! e
legend most deeply engraved on the nation's
heart. Beneath the dome of the Invalides.
in the ashes of the great Napoleon, still live
the fires that feed the flame of glory in the
heart of France. The new Cabinet is more
than half Bonapartist, and the hopes of the
Imperialists are blossoming anew.”
The case of the State vs. J. E. Bryant,
charged with libel, will be tried in the City
Court during the coming week. It lias be
come so common to traduce private character
of late, that it is time the courts began to ap
ply the punishment fixed by law to this of
fense, and iiot force a person, whose reputa
tion is assailed wantonly, to seek redress by
personal violence. We look to the result, in
this case, with some solicitude, and trust
that, if the defendant is convicted, an exam
ple will be made of bi n that will deter our
“ready writers,” and cause them to use their
little pens with greater caution hereafter.—

S AGUE TONIC
GIVEN AWAY
lo all persons who have Chills and fail to be cur
ed. It is not often during these hard times, that
we ever hear of anything being given away, but
in the present ease we have an article that will
bear the closest scrutiny, and severest test in every
sense of the word, and feel determined to place it
before the public in such a manner that there
cannot be a “ doubting Thomas.”
To all who may be afflicted with any form of
Ague, or chills and Fever, we make the proposi
tion
To all Persons
To cure you with one bottle of Day’s Ague Tonic.
It never produces partial deafness, dimness of
vision, buzzing or roaring in the head, or any of
those unpleasant symptoms that follow the use of
Quinine, it does not contain arsenic, strychnine or
ail}' other poison ; it acts finely upon the liver
ami bowels without the use of nauseating pills ;
it can be given to those whose stomachs reject
Quinine, and the cures are prompt, effectual and
permanent.
Procure from any Druggist or Merchant, one
bottle of Day’s Ague Tonic, use as directed, and
if it fails, return the empty bottle, and the money
will be refunded to all
Who have Chills.
This is surely a fair proposition, yet strange to
say, none have been returned to us. Druggists
and merchants say it gives more complete satis
faction, and sells more readily than any chill rem
edy they ever sold.
Sold by Druggists and Merchants generally, at
one Dollar per bottle. sep 2 187 G, *ly
