the victim of a most singular accident. Reino
engaged in conversation with a friend in a
store, he raised his foot tn rest it upon a low

position. Unfortunately, his foot came in con.
tact with the projecting heel of the scythe the
instrument was then thrown forward, and in
descending, thu point passed across the throat,
making deep cut and completely severinr the
juguar vein. Medical aid was procured, but
proved Intellectual, and the unfortunate man
survived this remarkable accident but short
time.--Egis.

Russia AND TURKEY. Further details of the
progress of the war between these powers will
be found in cur columns this day, by which it
will be seen that, as was to be expected, the
Russians are thus far successful, and that the
Danube has been passed by them. Still, it is
evident that the Turks are determined to con-
tend the whole ground with them. Their
means of defence, as they are enabled to avail
themselves thereof will be found very formda-
BILE. From an article in Scotch paper we have
made the following extracts, which will give an
IDEA of the obstacles the Russians will have to
encounter on their march to Constantnople.
If the Russians can only be checked up
on the Danube until the scorching summer
months set in, their progress over the parch-
ed plains of Bulgaria, where provisions will
be scanty and water not at all to be had,
must be so slow and harrassing, as to rem
der the passage ofthe Hemus lmpracticable
during the first campaign. There is no
country which possesses a more perfect
natural defence than Turkey.
About fifty miles beyond the Danube and
nearly parallel to its course, lies the formid-
able barrier ofthe Temus or Balkan noun
tains, which rise to great elevation, and
are full of deep ravines and narrow detiles,
and all those localities which render de-
fence SO easy, and enable a few men to ar
rest the progress of an army. The direct
road is from Rudshui on the Danube, to
Constantinople; and it passes through va
rious towns rudely fortified after the Turk
ish fashion; among others through Shumia,
where the different roads from the Danube
all meet. Beyond this place, which is
about thirty miles from Rudschuk, the Rus
slams have never been able to advance. 1t
is the extreme limit of their conquests. At
this fortified town the Turks had always an
entrenched camp, which the Russians at
tackled in ITS, but were repulsed: which
they again attacked in 1910, and were again
repulsed, after bloody conflict and final
ly driven back to the Danube.
Over the almost inaccessible mountain
chain of the Henus there are five passes,
two by the direct road from Shumia to Con-
stantlnople, and three farther to the west,
which all lead to Adrianople. Those noun
tains are impassobe during the winter from

obvious causes the roads. if roads they
can be called at any time, being blocked up
with snow, spring is the only season of the
year in which these bleak and desolate re-
gions present an appearance of vegetation !;
in summer they are scorched by the sun in
to degree of aridity, which renders them
a complete desert, while the cold damps and
dews of night are adverse not merely to
comfort, but to health. These mountains
must be passed by the Russians in their
progress to Constantinople; and when we
consider their height and ruggedness, the
narrowness and inaccessible character of
the passes, winding amid ravnes and pre-
clpIces, commanded on every side by the
adjacent ground, we may easily conceive
through what series of difficult and dam
gerous operations an invading army must
push before it can cross this great natu-
raj barrier; what fatigues ard privations
must be encountered; how many formid-
able positions must be carried; and by
what great sacrifice of men even success
must he purchased. The Turks, we learn
from the late instructive work of Mr.. Walsh,
depend on those natural defences for their
security against Russian invasion; and
we have no doubt they will be maintained
with bravery and perseverance. The Turk
ish troops are not deficient in courage !;
they frequently display prodigies of valor,
and, aided by these strong holds, they will
make powerful defence. The Russians,
by the aid of valor, discipline and science,
may surmount all these obstacles but, if
they succeed, it will certainly be military
achievement of the highest class, and will
add greatly to their warlike renown. There
will then be no further obstacle to their
progress; and the passage of the Hemus
mountains may, therefore, be considered as
deciding the fate of Constantinople."

LOUISIANA ELECTION. Returns from all the
State except three parishes, give for Derbigny
and Thomas, the Administration candidates,
1923 votes for Butler and Marigny, the Jack
son candidates, 2758 Derbigny alone receiv-
ed about 1000 more than both the jackson
candidates. In the first and second districts,
White and Gurley, the administration candi-
dates, are elected to Congress. In the third
district, the result is yet doubtful, and the ma
jority cannot be fifty either way. This district
is much the strongest in the state for the ad-
ministration, and if Brent has lost his election,
it is chiefly owing to his having resided for the
last five years in Maryland, and visited Louis
lana but twice during that time. In one or two
parishes which are nearly unanimous for the
administration, the opposition candidate receiv-
ed nearly all the votes.
The Electors of President in this State are
chosen by general ticket, and will, unquestiona-
bly,, be for the Administration by an over.

KENTUCKY ELECTION. By yesterdays south
ern mail we received complete returns of the
late election in Kentucky from twenty -one
counties, and partial ones from thirteen coun-
ties more, the result of all which is a majority
for Metcalfe, the Administration candidate of
taoO thousand Si1 hundred and nine UOteS.
From all we can gather, we believe the contest
has been close one, but the probability is
strong that Metcalfe is elected. By another
week we shall, probably, get information of
decisive character in relation to it.

DR.. ARMSTRONG. The Jackson papers have
given their version of the outrageous attack on
DR.. Armstrong in Tennessee, noticed in our
last. 1t is pretended that the attack was made
by the Gilchrsts because they had heard that
DR.. A. had written an article for publication,
in which their father was called tory. Grant
ing that to be true, it is apology for the bru-
tai outrage. We do not believe, however, that
it is true. DR.. Armstrong had rendered him
self so obnoxious by his writings that it was an
object to get him out of the way, or to silence
him. 1t would be very natural to get up some
other pretence for doing this, and " when dog
is to be whipped, it is always easy to find a
stick to do it with > but we should suppose
that some more plausible pretence might have
been found than the one made use of, especially
as others beside the GiIchrsts were engaged.

COLOMBIA. Immediately after the dissolution
of the Convention of Ocana, the partizans of
Bolivar, by whose influence that measure was
effected, procured MIN to be proclaimed Su-
preme Dictator with absolute power by the in
habitants of Bogota. This example was follow
ed IN Venezuela, Carthagena, and other cities
of the Republic as it is still styled, and the ar
my concurring therein Bolivar now rules with
despotic power throughout Colombia. Still he
processes great regard for the public will, as
the only Legitimate source of power, and as the
sole guido of rulers, and processes a readiness
to yield the power conferred on him, whenever
the people indicate n desire for him so TO do.
One of the first measures, under this newly as
sumed power, is a declaration of war against
the neighboring republic of Peru, where, our
readers viii recolect, the Bolivian constitution,
imposed on them by him, was overturned year
or two since. Whether there is any real cause
for the war, we have not the means of Judging
One thing is certain, that the affairs of that
portion of the world are in an unsettled state,
and whether the people will be able to establish
free government on durable basis, or wheth-
er they will not sink down under military
despotism, is problem which yet remains to
be solved. Unless the diffusion of knowledge
becomes more general, we incline to the opin-
ion that the latter is more probable much as
,yo sbould re1ret such a result

it is exclusively designed for those who
have nothing to do, and it will give them
some hours employment. An answer would
be acceptable.
Problem. An Eagle, at the North Pole, on
looking towards the South, espied Dove, which
was imnovably fixed directly over the point in
which the meridian of Cape Horn and the par
arallel of GO degrees, South latitude, ntersect
each other. Urged by his natural rapacity, he
started Instantly for the dove, and flew in the
direction which the meridian of the Cape ind.

gard to the diurnal motion of the earth) at the
following rate to wit: In the first hour, 800
smiles; second hour, 3l5, and so on, continuing
to decrease miles each hour till he reached
the Dove. How many revolutions will the earth
have performed, in the interval, between the
time Of the Eagles starting, and that of his
pouncing on the Dove? What Empires, King
doms, PriDcipalties, Dukedoms, Dutchies,
States, Rivers, Lakes Bays, Seas, and Oceans
did he pass over in bis fight? What was the
nature of the curve, described by his shadow,
on the surface of the land and wotor? and at
what points did the curve cut the several En-.
pires, Kingdoms, Plincipalities, &c, passed
over? also, at what points did the curve cut
the parallel Of every tenth degree Of latitude
between the Pole and the point over which the
Dove was suspended
