Mku HonoUlPu.
Tbe great Russian camp, at which
its troops were concentrated for this
expedition, is at Kiseheneff, on the
northern border of Roumaula, but in
Russian territory. Tbe boundary line
between Russia and Rouutania is a
little north of, and nearly parallel
with, the Danube from Galatz to its
mouths, and a little east of the Pruth,
leaving a narrow strip uorth and east
of those rivers, which was taken from
Russia and incorporated into Rou
■jianla by tbe treaty of Paris. Galatz
and Brallow are both in Rourrmnia,
the Danube dividing Roumania from
Turkey.
The Ruasiuus now hold botli Galatz
ami Brailow, and are therefore only
separated from Turkish territory
by tho river. The Turkish fortress
of Bilistria is a strong one, and they
have a great entrenchment camp at
Shuirila. It will be seen that if the
Russlaus prosecute the invasion of
Tburkey according to the route indi
cated try the seizure of Galatz and its
bridge, and push their ‘"ou to Con
stantinople” by this route, they must
go through the swampy Dobrudsha,
and either reduce Bilistria and small
er Turkish forts on the way, or leave
them in their rear—tbe latter a very
hazardous policy. Approaching still
nearer tho Balkan range, they will
encounter Shumht, which, it would
seem, they could not afford to leave
in their rear, even if they could flank
it. The Turkish strongholds appear
to be located so as Io facilitate the
concentration of their troops to de
fend this line, while those strong
holds us well as the nuture of the
country interpose formidable ob
structions to tbe Russian march.
But it may be that those who think
that this Russian demonstration in
Euroi>e is only a feint to draw the
Tinklsh forces thither, and tht the
real udvuneo is to bo made in Asia,
are correct. There are considera
tions which muke this opinion seem
quite plausible. Russia is reported
to have lately giveu ussurances that
she seeks no conquest of territory in
Europe, and it is almost certain that
if she did, sho would have other
powers to oppose besides Turkey. It
is not u reasonable supposition that
she would brave the opposition of
these powers, unless she had assur
ances of support by Germany. Pos
sibly she may have such assur
ances. Little “straws” give signs
thut Germany inclines in sym
pathy towards Russia, and England
and Austria towards Turkey. But.
no other European power except Eng
land would be apt to concern itself
about Russian acquisition of Turkish
territory in Asia, and of late years
Russia has manifested as strong a
disposition to expand toward the In
dian ocean us toward the Meditera
ueau. In western Asia she could
tight Euglatid to a better advantage
than In Europe. Bbo has commen
ced the war in Asia by an invasion of
Turkish territory the ilrst llght having
occured there, aud she may pour in
to that, terrltoty au overwhelming
force as soon as her tactics have
drawn Turkey’s strength into Eu
rope. That Russia means conquest
in either Europe or Asia is now hard
ly to be doubted.
Constantinople is a little east of
south of Shuniia.

An Admiral's Pretty Meanness.
Admiral Porter, whose daughter is soon
to be married scut through the post-office
two hundred invitations to the wedding.
The envelopes each required double post
age, but only one stamp was affixed. The
postmasters held the invitations and sent
word to the Admiral about the matter,
thinking lip would like to repay them.
The Admiral replied that they should he
scut along with one stamp, and the result
is that two hundred people will have the
privilegeof paying three cents apiece for
their invitation to the next swell wedding
that occurs in Washington. The Adrni
sal saved six dollars.
The Society of Hoinoapathists of
London announce that they have
discovered a sure antidote for sea
sickness. They call it apomorphia,
and a few drops taken now and then
in water will, it is said, hold the

AUAIKHT THE COWKMTIO*.
Editor Times: As you have Invited
a discussion of the Convention sub
ject through your columns, I would
like to submit a few thoughts per
taining to it. Its advocates have
Mil now had tite field almost entirely
to themselves, and any one judging
from this fact, would probably come
to the conclusion that tho mass of
the people were strongly in favor of
it. 'fids opinion, I urn inclined to
think, would be erroneous for I am
convinced thut a very powerful ini
nority, if not a majority, are opposed
to any change in our Constitution
at present. I also think that a large
number of those who would vote for
It now, are very lukewarm support
ers, and only advocate it because
they think it fashionable, and lie
cause those they have hitherto fol
lowed speuk and write in its favor,
in oilier words, because they like
sheep, must follow a loader, (often
times an elected one,) though it be
over a precipice. As one of tbe peo
ple of Georgia, who expects to live
and die here, I would ask the advo
cates of ttiis bill to specify the most
important of the sections of the
present Constitution, that they de
sire to change? It is within the
range of possibility, strange as it
may seem, that the change you may
propose to make, may not be tbe one
the people want, even if they agree
with you so fur as to admit that some
change is necessary. Have you con
ceived of this possibility? Again, if
certain changes are advisable, why
not make them through the Legisla
ture? Is that iilan more costly or
less effective? If so, give us facts to
prove it. We ure amei)uble to rea
son and open to conviction.
That the present Constitution is
perfect, no one has claimed, and I af
firm that human power and wisdom
have been totally Inadequate from
the dawn of creation to tho .present,
day to produce perfection iu any
thing. And Indeed, it seems beyond
omnipotent power to estatilish a gov
ernment, and found a code that will
lie acceptable to all. For it is recor
ded that the Israelites murmured so
loudly at their divinely appointed
Judges, that a Saul was put over
them to satisfy theiriclatnors; and
(oh, the perversity of men!) they
preferred to the freedom of the wil
derness tho flesh-pots of Egypt,
though from a taskmaster’s baud.—
And, Mr. Editor, I am disposed to
think that flesh-pots have more to do
in getting up this Convention titan
anything else. One reason given for
a change, is this: “The present
Constitution was made during a Rad
ical administration. We arc in [low
er now, and can change it;
let us do it.” The writer yields to
no ouu in his hatred of Radicalism.
It was conceived in sin, born in in
iquity, and fostered by the devil, but
if among the few tilings they have
left us, there be any good thing, let
us cling to it. A jewel is no less a
jewel because found in a toad’s head.
The time for successful appeals to
fancy and hatred is over. The strug
gle for bread and meat in which we
have been engaged has so cut the
wiugs of our imaginations as to com
pel us to descend from those airy re
gions, wherein the sentimental
revels, to the practical and prosaic.
This bears to my mind a strong re
semblance to tbe wooden horse,
which caused Troy’a downfall. All
that, we hear now of the city of l’ri
am is “Ilium Fait,” and when this
convention shall have met, submit
ted the already prepared draft of a
new Constitution to its delegates,
and passed it, “Homestead Fuit,”
will be tire soug. This will at least
bo the case if the designers and orig
inators of this Convention bill shall,
as they expect, desire aud will try to
accomplish, bo sent, as delegates.
Among those practical and prosaic
thiugs which our necessities compel
us to consider, in preference to in
dulging iu those fanciful and imag
inative feelings whose existence in
the breast of the model novel hero
tills the sentimental maiden of four
teen with such ardent admiration,
are the home that shelters and tite
ground that supports, though but
poorly, those whom it is our duty to
protect and provide for those whom
some of the most blatant of these
Convention-lovers would gladly turn
out of doors, it thereby they could
collect some ante-bellum claim placed
iu their hands for collection by a
client, who was willing to burn up
the pupef, but was induced to give it
to them for collection, for one-half
or three-fourths of what was col
lected : or some fi. fa. bought at as
signee’s or executor’s sale for 10 cents
on the SI.OO. Yes, those whom they
would imprison, if they could, till
the last farthing was paid. If we
must have a Convention, let us select
good men—men whom we know, and
who are with us, and of us. Don’t
go among the Philistines for dele
gates, as Samson did for a wife. If
we do, we will probably find a Deli
lah ; and when we are caught, we will
do more grinding for the Philistines
titan Samson did. It is argued that
if a constitution is made that is not
acceptable to tite people, they can
defeat its ratification. This hope
will prove delusive-fur if indifferent
now they will be so then, and tlie ad
vocates of the Convention will strain
every nerve, ami with the immense
floating vote, that emancipation has
forced upon us, probably win suc
cess for its ratification. Some of its
favorers even say they do not wish
to rednee or abolish the Homestead,
but so solicitous are they for our
welfare, they only desire to define it
plainly and establish it securely be
yond the interference of courts.
What language can be plainer than
that used in the present Constitution
on this subject. An examination
into the busioess character and in
terests of the supporters and op
ponents of this measure will prove
very suggestive.
*Tll not Bty men are villain* all,
Butocb! manklud are uuoo weak
And little to be trusted;
II *#•// the wavering balance shake,
It'a rarely right adjusted.”
You will find arrayed on the side
of anew Constitution the legal pro
fession almost to a matt. “Where
the carcass Is there will the eagles
lie gathered.” The merchant
who hold claims against par
ties, till of whoso parthly effects
could be covered by the present ex
emptions. And the capitalist,
whose money is lying In bank vaults
because lie can’t find profitable in
vestments for it, in other words for
' the reason that ho can’t lend his
neighbor five hundred dollars, aud
for lack of prompt payment in one
year take his property worth one
thousand dollars. On the other hand
are tho men, who, notwithstanding
the contumely and abuse that has
been heaped upon them, have borne
ail the heat and burden of the con
test, have endured all tho hardships,
have lived like dogs, contenting
themselves with the “crumbs that
fell from their master’s table,” aud
deprived themselves of every com
fort, and paid out all of their earn
ings, till not one tiling is left but a
poor house, and some poor laud. And
for what? that some fellow who staid
at borne,while they were fighting the
Radicals (now cursed so loudly by
this patriot), and gathered up cotton
which he was lucky enough to place
where the Yankees couldn’t find it,
might fatten and grow by soiling
them goods at an advance of 100 to 150
per cent, per annum. Have you ever,
Mr. Editor, seen or beard one of
these gents, talking to a one-horse
farmer, when the latter after a bad
crop year, comes iuto town with the
proceeds of his year’s labor to settle
with him? The farmer has becured
advances for which had he been able
to pay cash he would have paid SOO
or SOS, but which were charged to
him for four months at SIOO. His
whole crop sells for SBO or S2O, thus
lacking $lO or S2O of paying up in
full. He brings this iu, delivers it to
tite merchant, anti makes it is state
ment, and secures a lecture gratis,
and advice as to the best method of
conducting his business in future.
Imagine a man iu his shirt-sleeves,
his face browned by exposure,
hands horny and hardened by toil,
feeling and looking humiliated and
abashed, (ttiey, strange to say, have
some sensibility) at his inability to
pay his debt to tho utmost farthing,
listening to his well-dressed, well-fed
friend! who in advertisement a few
days since, vouchsafed the informa
tion to tut admiring public, “that he
had in tlie farmers’ great time of
need fed ami clothed him, actuated
thereto, as the reader is led to be
lieve, by the Christian spirit of
“loving your neighbor as your
self” and not influenced at all
by the 100 to 150 per cent per annum.
He commences by an exclamation (iu
his boyhood tie went so far in latin
as Cicero’s orations) “O, Temporal
O, Mores!! What a decadence of in
tegrity and honor. To pay a debt so
sacred as this 1 would sell the shirt
from my back or the slices from my
feet.” And then, thiuking he had
been too severe, and probably hurt
tite farmer’s feelings, he. to make
atneuds, gives him some good ad
vice after this fashion : '‘You have a
very good mule, sell him and buy a
cheap bull; do your own plowing,
make your wife aud daughters hoe
your crops, practice eoonomy and
you will succeed.” The matter is fi
nally adjusted by his taking u bill of
sale to the mule or getting a note
for balan.ee due with “homestead”
waived. The farmer is dismissed to
liis fate, his name is entered ou the
“black book,” and the merchant’s
friends are informed that his kind
ness and charity have well nigh ru
ined him. On tite follosviug Sabbath
his voice swells beyond all others iu
singing the lines:
••’That mercy I to others show,
That mercy allow to me.”
This same man will toll you that
the farmers don’t appreciate
the moral (?) obligation they
are under. For God’s sake, lets have
done with this twaddle. You sold
goods for the sole and exclusive pur
pose of making money thereby, aud
the farmer ought to pay for them,
and nine out of teu will do it, just as
soon as they can, but they are not
descendants of Hercules, and their
shoulders are not sufficiently broad
to hold up the immense weight of
moral obligation, when it is coupled
with 150 per cent, interest. They
might stand either one or the other,
but the combined weight, is too great.
I will say this much for my brother
farmers, that in future we will wil
lingly dispense with all advice on
farming from men who don’t know a
scooter from a sweep, or a harrow
from a grass scythe. Allow me a
few words more to my farmer friends
and all others, whom 150 per cent,
per annum or misfortune in any
ottier shape has placed in a position
where protection is necessary.
Either vote against a Convention, or
send delegates to it whom you know,
men who arc with you. Dou’t trust
to promises. They are as delusive as
the sunshine of au April day, as short
as pie erust. Hold to your Home
stead as you would to the last plank
between you aud a watery grave, for
if you lose it, there will be added to
the crime of being poor, the humilia
ting assurance of being foots. Don’t
trust this questiou as you have done
all others of importance to others,
attend to it yourselves.
