TURKEY.--Letters from Constantinople Of the
Goth November, announce that the rebels at ep-
pc have been completely extermnated by Kerim
Pasha s troops. The rebels of Bosnia have been
likewise defeated by Omar Pacha.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 90 ult.
state that terrible chastisement has been inflicted
on the insurgents Of Aleppo. On the evening OF
the It'll ult., Kerm Pasha invited the principal
chiefs Of the insurgents to come to him, They
accepted the invitation, persuaded that the fear OF
fresh disturbances would make them respected
Rerim Paaha had them placed under arrest. The
insurgents, finding their chiefs did not return,
rushed to arms and came, in number about 10,
600, and insolenty demanded their liberation
The Ottoman General was prepai ed for this, and
replied to their demand by charging them at the
head Of 1000 imperial troops, whom he had as
sembled in the inside Of some barracks. The
combat was desperate, and lasted for more than
twenty -four hours, but the result was favorable to
the Turks. Three Mussemah quarters, Karlek,
Bah Coussa, and FL Bah Neirab, which were the
seat Of their revolt, have been almost entirely de-
stroyed. Eighteen hundred OF the rebels fell in
the struggle, and the remainder with the inhabi-
tants Of the aDove qua -ters, have fed from Alep-
pc, the Turkish cavalry pursuing them Not a
single Christian fell in this terrible affair All the
property Of the rebels will be devoted by the au
thorities to indemnify the Christians for their
losses on the 18th and 18th October and to rebuild
the three churches which were burned. The
Bosnian insurgents have also been defeated in two
battles; and thus has the Sultan triumphed over
feudality and fanaticism.

COLUMBUS, lla-1 Dec. ~, 1907
MEssRs. EDitoRsi You have heard Of the ac-
ton OF our convention and Il is doubtless such as
you anticipated from the result OF our election.
IL amounts to complete submission to all the
wrongs OF the past, and a somewhat equivocal
provision for future emergencies. Our defeat in
Georgia is attributable to combination of four
causes, Of which you will perceive that but one had
any reference to the merits Of the issues publicly
made.-The first was a blind devotion which many
of our people feel for the Union, coupled with an
underlined dread of the imaginary evils, consequent
upon its dissolution. The second, and perhaps
most powerful cause, was the strength ofparty
ties, very successfully appealed to, by ambitious
leaders. The third was the high price of cotton
and the general monetary prosperity of the coun-
try. The fourth and least influential the
honest conviction with some, that there was no
cause for action in any thing that had yet trans
pired. One or the other Of these motives operated
upon every man who voted for submission IN the
recent election. On the other side, one feeling
one purpose animated every breast in the minor-
ty a SENSE Of wrong aud determined demand
for justice, That spirit yet breathes and burns in
Georgia, and none the less resolutely account Of
the recent defeat. 1t is the spirit Of truth and
cry day adds to the number of its votaries.
Submission, on the contrary is losing strength
The honest man, momentarily deluded by the cry
of Union is having his eyes opened by the de-
velopements of the times. As the excitement Of
the campaign subsidies, the partisan is awakened
to real sense Of the danger which impends the
South. The thinking man learns to appreciate
the real sources of the prosperity which smiles
upon his industry, and just in proportion as the
General Government loses the credit of filling his
Golfers, in that proportion does he cease to
ate it. And the few who saw nothing in the past
demanding redress are beginning to observe the
threatning clouds gathering over the future. Thus
day by day do TIT. causes, which contributed to
our defeat, cease to operate upon our people. We
nothing therefore in that defeat to cause us to
despond on the contrary, when we estimate it
properly, we gather incentives to exertion. and
you may be assured that we shall never cease ex-
ertion until we are crowned with victory.
Yours truly.

Blaney says, the process will far surpass every
other means Of producing gas, extant; neither
will the material raise in value Oh account of an
increased demand. During the process, another
article more valuable than the gas itself, is pro-

Arrival Of Jenny Lind at Charleston


A rumor was put in circulation yesterday, that
the steamer which was conveying this public ia
vorte, had been wrecked on the passage from
Wilmington to Charleston, on Sunday night
last.
| From the annexed notice which we clip from
Charleston Sun of Tuesday last, it will be seen
that she encountered severe blow, but received
no material damage.
1t was probably appropriate that this sweet
singer should have been greeted with squat.
JENNY LrND-Much anxiety was felt in this
city during the day, and at the time we went to
Wilmington boat, in which Mademoselle LIND
was expected to have arrived here Yesterday
morning. About sunset Sunday evening the
wind began to rise, and during the night there
was perfect gale. Yesterday morning at the
usual hour the Wilmington boat did not make
its appearance, and We have said, there was
much anxiety felt among us whether the boat
with its precious freight was driven out to sea
by stress OF weather. or whether on finding the
promise CT a tcmpestuous night it had returned
to Wilmington.
Since the above was put in type, the boat has
arrived and 80 has the renowned Miss JENNY
| LIND. She arrived about half past 10 o'clock
last evening. The boat (the Gladiator) was de-
tained by heavy blow from South to West
Southwest, Lasting from Cape Fear Bar to
! Charleston.

ELoPEMENT.-Marshall Rulfin received n r.

questing him to arrest man by the name of
Struggled, who had eloped from Louisville with
young lady by the name Of Goodnough, whose
father was opposed to her marrying the young
man with whom she had left home, and as she
was a minor she could not be legally married.
The Marshal went to the Dennison House and
found their names on the register, but they had
left for the purpose Of going to Aberdeen, the
village which all young ladies' who have stub.
born parents usually visit. He then went on
board the Pittsburgh packet brilliant and met
Mr.. Springfield, who stated his name was Scott.

ing him in such manner that there was no way
Of getting over it. He then "owned up" but

She then entreated him to let them continue
