The War.
At least, if to-day’s telegrams ' ins
j Ijo relied on, we have a;i ei in thi
j dreary Russo-Tnrkish war. Tb l!u>
1 sinus have surprised them lvr- u: and
the world by a display of mmr stra. -
| ogie resources. Muhktar Rish-i's. a
i my has been well nigh d-slrow and, and,
apparently, Asia Miucfr is left nut
! stantiully without defe so.
j The details of this important ovei 1
are given with considerable amplitude
| and circumstantiality, in the dispatch
es to-day, to which we refer lh. read
er.
A flanking column had been sent
out to assail Muhktar Pasha’s position
in the rear, and on Monday a general
assault was begun in front. Every
position of his army was carried raid
,hi.; army itself split in hro and utt- r
!' ly routed. The left and centre was
! pursued with great slaughter into
j Ears, while the right was forced to
I capitulate, and surrmdered lnrg
stores of military supplit; -thirty-two
car non and seven Pashas or general
officers.
This, for a time, leaves Asia Minor
pretty nigh defenseless: The remnant
of Muhktar Pasha’s army is shut up
iu Kars, and its fate depends appar
ently on the amount of supplies they
find there. Unless they have a large
quantity, they are at the mercy of the
Russians.
Meanwhile, the necessity of provid
ing anew army to confront tho victo
rious Russians in Asia Minor creates
an untimely strain . n their r. sources,
and may weaken their line of defense
south of the Danube. Perhaps this
may bo die beginning of determinate
events in this so far insignificant war
fare.—Macon Telegraph.
Wilcox, Irwin and Montgomery
counties will vote for Millfedgeville as

majority for the old city. Pulaski,
too, with hut a few dissenting votes,
will help toswell the majority. Tlies.
are facts and may be relied on. •hr
people of that section may be counted
ou as almost unanimously for the
“Halls of Our Father.” It may be a
sentiment, but somehow or oi : ■ r peo
ple generally vote their sentiments
when the opportunity is nreseuted.
Tho Marianna (Fa. J U mrier says:
“On Thdrsday night jest Mr. tiullei

The Lake City R.portr*' says:
“From what we could glean from om
country friends, the recent heavy rains
have damaged the cotton crop of tin:-
county, as near as.can.be ascertained
between five and eight thousand dol
lars. Only a small portion of the
cotton was gathered before' the • rain,
and nearly every one has suffered I
more or less. For several days the I
wind blew with great force, blowing;
down trees and fences, and playing the
mischief generally. The rains are al
so reported as havmg and me great in
jury to the crops and overflowing
branches and roads, making travel
difiicult.”
The Midland Railway, of England,
in which tho recently reported frauds
he,ve occurred, is ue of the greatest
English railways, its stocks and bonds
amounting to $250,000,000. Tin
latest rep >rts shows that t' o frauds
are not by any means so’ serious as at
first reported, and are not of a char
acter to affect either its stock or bond
issues or its financial stability.

further, that Porter was a tool for men
who app, ante 1 and kept him in power,

writer refers to Senators■ Christianity

The political complexion of the
South Carolina Senate, in which the

■spring, has been so far changed by
! the resignation of Senators against

• reassembles next month more than
[ two-thirds of tho Senators will be
i Democrats. A Columbia, dispatch
i says: “Should Patterson he expelled
j Governor Hampton will probably be
j chosen to succeed him iu United States
i Senate.”
Judging from our telegrams tho
democrats in the senate having things
their own way so far as the confirma
tion of Mr. Havas’ nominations are
concerned,and tho situation is alluded
to as a curiously' complicated one.
However this may bo, the Gauntry can
endure the complications if the dem
