Russia and Turkey.— The Russian troops stiil continue to fortify the left bank of the Dan \ uh<r A despatch from Odessa, August 6, says : I " The settlement of the Oriental question is rot jso near at hand as is generally believed. The I most active preparations for open hostilities have | r *°t any time been suspended.” The Russian j armies were last wasting away from sickness I and epidemics prevailing in the localities along I the Danube. The advices to the 13(h, state that the army ot Omer Pacha consists of 6.3,000 men and ISO pieces ol cannon. He was daily receiving rein forcements whilst the Russians, it was said, lost 15,000 men, since their entrance into the Prin cipalities by the ravages ot the typhoid fever and diarrhae. The Russians, to the amount ot 5,000 men, on the 10th, pitched new tents on the west bank of the Danube, so that the senti nels of the two armies are within musket shot of each other. The troops of the Sultan are said to be in most excellent spirits, and ar dently desire an opportunity to distinguish them selves. It was stated that fever had proken out in some of the British ships at Besika Bay, and small-pox on board the French fleet. The ac counts were thought to be exagerated, only a lew invalids having been sent to Malta. England.— The British funds, foreign stocks, rail way and other shares, have all fallen in value during the week. The harvest had set in all oyer the country, and operations carried on with vigor. The quality of the new corn is not as fine as anticipated, .The samples produced are various—some fine, otters coarse, and in indif ferent condition. Barley and oats are still ex pected to yield more than an average crop. Upwards of 370 vessels have arrived in the Thames, on Monday and Tuesday, chiefly laden with grain for the Northern ports. The reports from Ireland are of a highly satis factory character, in all respects. From Scot land, also, the advices are of a favorable charac ter. Complaints of potato rot have almost ceas ed throughout the United Kingdom. France. —lt is rumored that the French gov ernment are about negotiating for a loan of 500,- 000,000 francs, but not generally accredited. The Constitutionnel contains an article cen suring the conduct of Captain Ingraham, and disappaoving the policy of the United States. Ledru Rollin is dying. Spain —The Madrid correspondent of the Lon don Morning Chronicle, w-riting of date Ist inst, says that the question as to the reception or non reception of Mr. Soule, as Minister of the United States, has been much agitated at the Spanish Court, and the recent accounts of his proceed ings had been much commented on. It was be lieved that the Spanish Government will oppose no objection to his reception as American En voy, but )f any passage in his address on present ing his credentials can be found fault with, it will be seized as an opportunity to dismiss him. Mi. Soule, the writer adds, will at best find his position a difficult one. Russia.— Vienna letters state that cholera was making great inroads in Russia, especially in the Southern Provinces, where large bodies of troops were stationed. It had also made its appearance at various points of the frontier of Eastern Gallicia. A letter from Irkutsk, July Ist, mentions the : discovery of several rich gold placers on the right hank of the river Lena. Thousand of diggers are there at present. The frigate Diana and the brig Pollux have sailed from Constadt, to reinforce the Russian squadron in the Japan seas. The squadron now muttfaer* five vessel»,--A«-a«r\y of 6.0D0 men was this summer collected at Irkutsk, the entre- j pot of Russian commerce with China, via Iviak- j hta. It was asserted that these troops were I destined to keep watch on the undefended iron- j tiers of the Chinese dominions. Venice. —The Venice official Gazette contra dicts the rumors of scarcity, and says that so large a quantity of corn has arrived ot Venice that the authorities are at a loss where to stow it. Prussia. —The Piussian Board of Agriculture has published a circular, wherein it is stated that there is no foundation whatever for apprehen sions of a dearth of corn. Latest. — The Czar Refuses the Turkish Nate. —We give the following important despatch from the London Times, with a recommenda tion to receive gwith Jcaution whatever is pub lished exclusively in that paper, and immediate ly preceding |the sailing of a mail steamer for America: “ Paris.—lt was positively stated to-day, Thursday, Bth, at the Russian Ambassy at Paris, that the Emperor of Russia had refused to accept the modification. It was added, that when the Emperor was informed that the Porte had mod ified the note of the Vienna Conference before accepting it, he observed, in a tone of much mod eration, that he would willingly make conces sions for the express purpose of meeting the wishes of the European powers, but he would not humiliate himself in the eyes of the world by submitting to propositions proceeding direct from the Sultan.” It was also asserted that Napoleon had stated that he would not go to war at present, in the present scarcity of food among his people. Guano. —Lest, from the high estimate we place upon guano as a fertilizer, any should er ringly infer that we would discard all other means of renovating our soil, we deem it proper to be a little more explicit than heretofore, upon the relative value of that and other manures. In the first place, then, we would say of guano that it should not be used, unless the increased crops yield a profit equal to the cost of the gu ano applied. And we say this not because we believe its fertilizing properties are exhausted the first year, but because investments of every kind should yield a profit. Indeed, this should be the test applied to all fertilizers, which require an outlay of cash But even if, upon trial, it should be found that guano will pay a lair profit, we would riot have it supercede all other means of renovation. The stable and barnyard should still be the planter’s main resource. With these properly conducted, he may, without, in the slightest degree dimin ishing the surlace under neath, or incurring the outlay of a dollar, double the product of many acres of his soil. It is his true policy, therefore, to make the most of his stable ami barnyard, and not till then to call in the aid of other fetilizers. Cheraw Gazette, 21st inst. Religious Revival. —The religious revrval that has been in progress in several of the churches of our city, for a few weeks past, con tinues with unabating interest. A deep and general religious feeling seems to prevade our city, and all the protestant denominations are sharing the result. Over one hundred and eigh ty conveits have united with the Methodist church, and a large number with the First Bap tist. Thus far no excitement has been ob served, but earnest attention given to the plain appeals put forth by the able ministry having the work in charge. Among the clergyman fiom abroad the Meth odist churcn has had the labors of the Rev. Dr. Cross, of Charleston, for the past two weeks.— Many will he glad to hear that having yielded to urgent solicitations he will prolong his stay, tor a portion, if not all, of the coming week.— As a pulpit orator and faithful gospel minister Dr. Cross has long enjoyed a deservedly high reputation.— Savannah Georgian, 24 th inst. The New] York| Forgeries. —The’ alleged forgeries of Mr Jas. C. Forsyth, says the Tri bune, have been traced back as far as 1847, during al! of which time they have been artfully covered up by fresh issues of paper. In 1848 he gave a bond, the interest on which he paid with exact punctuality up to his flight. It is also dis covered, it is alleged, that he had forged the name of the cashier of the Kingston Bank. Dix vb. Stephens. We publish below, in juxtaposition, the letter of Mr. Dix and an extract from the speech of 'Jr Stephens, on the annexation of Texas in 1545.

This acquisition will give additional pow er (o the southwestern seetion in the national councils; and for this purpose I want it—not that I am desirous to see an extention of the “area of slavery,” assome gen tlemen have said its ef fect would be. I am no defender of slavery in the abstract. Liberty always had charms for me, and Iw< uld rejoice to see all the sons of Adam's family, in every land, and clime, in the enjoyment of those rights which. are set forth in our Declaration of In dependence as “nattiral and inalienable," if a stern necessity, bearing the marks and impress of the hand of the Crea tor himself, did not, in some cases,interpose and prevent. Such is the case with States where slavery now exists. But I have NO WISH TO SEE IT EXTENDED TO OTHER COUN TRIES ; and if the an nexation of Texas were for the sole purpose of extending slavery where it docs not now, and would not otherwise exist, I SHOULD OP POSE IT.
