concur in the opinion thai they have rarely had
the promise Of such abundant crops. With
the exception Of portion Of the Tennessee

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER &c, 1928.


The foreign news brought by the Columbia,
is not important; and, in addition to the prin'
cipal items given yesterday, we shall now only
say few words. L, seems as if calsmities,
"thick as autumnal leaves that strew the vale OF
Valambrosa," are about 10 fall upon the heads
Of the poor Turks. The Russians arc pressing
vigorously on with mighty horde rapacious
warliors-the Greeks are almost literally gnaw-
inslheir very virals-a belief of ,be ap2roach>
ing dissolution OF the Empire is very prevalent,
and serves to dishearten the most resolute-
some letters from Cons'an,inople express fears
for The life Of the Sultan-and intelligence from
the frontiers Of Bosnia describes very extern
amongst the native troops. who were ordered
by the Sultan TO observe the Servians. A Bim>
baschi and Molah, who proclaimed the order
to the troops, were killed on the spot, and the
we're engagement with the rebels.
How this contest is TO end, whether the Rus
slams are TO plant their standards upon the walls
Of ST. Sophia, or whether tie Powers OF Europe
will interfere and bring about an adjustment OF
difficuilies,is more than we can pretend even to
conjecture.
We hope the best for the Greeks. A oint
declaration was expected TO he issued by The
ministers of Grea, Britain, France, and Russia,
at Corfu, as soon as the French troops, part Of
which were at sea, arrived ON the shores Of
Greece.
Contradictory accounts as 10 the preparations
making BY the Sultan, are circulated. Lon
don pape. Of the 2olh Of August says:
"Whilst we are sometimes told that the En-
peror is actively preparing against this formi-
dable and inveterate Zoe, We are, from other
quarters, and al other times, Informed, that in
difference ard apathy reign throughout The EN-
pire.
"By the accounts received from Constantine
ple of the 18th ult, we understand that the po-
which the government showed at the COM
mencemen, of The war with Russia, in oonse.
qsenee Of the general misery which is con'nu'
ally increasing. Up to that day, the lth Of
July, there were only five districts registered
for the enrollments.
"The news from the provinces is hot more
satisfactory. The 9achas are not able 10 fur
nish their contingents Of leyies Of men COM
ple,e, so much do the d, sertio1s of great bodies
OF men increase. The Picha Of Saionica, who
made sure Of being able TO collec, $4,000 sol
diers, has with grea, difficulty raised 5000
The same difficulty exists in every other quar-
ter"
These accounts, we arc inclined to think,
make matters worse than they really are. We
believe the Turks will do every thing that they
can do to oppose their enemies. Their ancient
spirit canno, all be extinct; and their religious
2rejudices and feelings, we know, are as strong
as ever.

planned, that though he kept his eye con-
