but the merit Of his army las not been recognized by

is true It's ranks are ledby Turks but they are avery
different sor, of soldiers from those Diebtch drove
Neicre him in lS29 They have beaten the Russians
with heavy odds and under uniayorabe circumstances
We trust this may prove but the augury and beginning
Of far more conclusive defeats.
Wenow learn for the first time that the Council of War
at Conssuiinope had concentrated at Sofa an army of
some $4,000 men in order TO operate in Serya iu case of
need OF this force and its destination strange to say
uoprevious information 20 have reached Western
Furope but il is clear that Omer Pasha has made the
best use OF it, Its disposition at Sofia was bunder
since If the Servans should not revolt and make con-
mon cause with the Russians-which under the reign
Ing prince they are not likely to do-thero is no oc-
cason for an army in that quarter while in case Of
revolt the Turks must either march into the country
and suppress it, for which with the Russians
in Wallachia, $4,000 men would not suffice, else
they must occupy the passes of the frontier and conne
the Seryans at home, for which quarter of
that force would be ample, Omer Pasha evidently
viewed the matter in this light for he has marchedt the
corps straight Widdin and added it to the force he
had there previously. This Reinforcement has, no
doubt essentially contributed to the victory he has
now gained over the right wing Of the Russians under
General Dannenberg, victory of which we have no
particulars beyond the number Of Russian officers
killed and captured but which must have been quite
complete and will prove morally even more beneficial
TO the Turks thanit was materially.
We now learn, also, that the Turkish force which
crossed from TuI tukai point between Rustshuk and
Slistria) to Otenitza, was led by IsMAEL PAsHA or
General Guyon Che has not renowned Christianity
though he holds high rank in the Sultan's army
whose gallantry in the Hungarian war gave him
high reputation bold, energetic and rapid
executive officer. Without remarkable strategic tai
ent, there are few men who will carry out orders
with such effect as he has proved on the present
occasion where he repealed bis assailant with the
bsyonet The defeat of Gen Pawloff at Oltenitza,
must substantially open the country behind the Aluta
and clear the way to Bucharest, since it is proved
that Prince GorcbakOf has not advanced to Sla-
tina as was reported, but remains at the Capital of
tie Prncpslties wisely preferrng not to divide his
forces which is again an indication that he does not
tLipk himself entirely secure. No doubt decisive
battle has been fought long this in the vicinity Of
that place If Gorchakof is not huInbug, and if he
can concentrate there from seventy to eighty thousand
men--a number which all reasonable deductions from
the official force of the Russians still leave to
him,-ihe advantage is decidedly on his side
But seeing how false and exaggerated the figures
reported from the Russian camp; seeing how much
more powerful and effective is Omer Pasba's army
thsn has been supposed the conditions Of the campaign
become more equal than has been imagined and the de-
feat of GorchakoG within the probabilities of the
csse Certainly if the Turkish Generalissmo con-
Gsnd troops already flushed with victOry-and we now
zee nothing to prevent this chance Of success is de-
cdedy favorable. In saying this we desire to speak
with moderation, for there is no use in making the
Turks seem better of than they because our sym
yafhies are with them
IT 10 impossible to study the geographical structure
Of WaIlschia, especially in military point Of view
without being reminded Of Lombardy In the one the
Danube and in the other the 20 and its continents form
the southern ard western boundaries The Turks have
also adopted similar plan Of action with that pursued

claim On our admiration, md the more papable the
