WAR; warI

ID. We yesterday furnished our readers with an ex-
ira informing them that the steamship Atlantic
brought intelligence that Turkey. at the GraLd
Council of Vienna on the Sd inst, had resolved
on declaration of War against Russia. Our dis
patches, this morning, have the usual vagueness
nfthe first news teegraphed US on the arrival of
vessel. The declaration needed the signature of
the Sultan, but rumorS, and all our previous in
1ellisence concur in the opinion that he has ere
this ratified the resolution of the Grand Council.
Further ndvices will be looked for with great in
terest. In the meantime, the following extract
froma London letter, received by previous stea-
mer, affords an indication of the existing feeling
in Turkey:
ga placard has appeared at Constantinople in
which, among other things, it IS said that sat the
voice ofthe sovereign the soldiers OF the redJ had
Quilted their families and their fields at the mo-
ment of the harvest, and that they would not re-
turn to their homes without having fought to re-
yenge the insults offered 10 their country. The
Egyptians, who were leaving ConStantinople 10
Join the camp Of Omar Pacha, declared to the
Sultan, during the fete which he gave 10 their Of
Gcers that they had come to fight, and that they
would not return to Egypt until they had done
So" Vs.
The evaporation of the country against Russia
shows itself i'll every way, without there appear
ing any means of appessing it except by war. 1t
is added that the Turkish Ministers themselves
are convinced oft, and had decided on incurrng
the chances of war, hoping that Europe, which
has encouraged them in their resistance, would
not abandon the Turkish nation. late letter
from Constantinople states that the Turkish Minis
ter, after conference held at the house of the
Grand VizeT. resolved 10 maintain their last note
at all hazards"

GEORGE W. WEBSTER.

TuF BOARD OF MIssroNs.-The American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions closed its
semi annual meeting at Cincinnati on Friday
The proceedings, we gather from our telegruphc
dispatches and from the letters of special coz
respondent, have been quite interesting usual,
and the various statements laid before the large
concourse in attendance have excited great deal
of attention. The action with reference to the
Sandwich Islanders was well calculated to stir the
hearts of the older members with thankfuluess and
10 fill the younger ones with wonder. That strange
Island people which, lew years ago, was not less
deeply sunk in ignorance and depTavity than the
most degraded on earth, are pronounced TO be a
ChriStIanized people, and neither need nor willre-
ceive their aid hereafter. Their torch has been
lighted-it needs no longer that the match should
be extended to it from this quarter. Ii burns up
briskly, and casts its grmmer over other deeply
shaded lands. 1t stretches its rays over distant
seas and kindles the dry faggots on other shores.
Men who confess nothing higher than human
agency, would pride themselves 10 have wrought
SO great work. The American Board has no right
but 10 be thankful that it has been so useful an
agent, and to be humble while sounding its peans.
IN. Y. Times, Oct. IL.
The Board elected the following officers for the
ensuing year:
Theodore Frelinghuysen, L. L. D., President;
Thomas S. Williams, Vice President; Hon. VIM.

The METHODIST CHURCH SUlT.-The New York
Book Agents of the Methodist Episcopal Church
have agreed with the Church South on plan for
the adjustment of the whole matter in dispute,
which is that it shall be referred to the Hon. Judge
Mclean, of the Supreme Court of the United
States. Both parties have done well, to leave it
to the arbitration of such man as Judge Mclean.
The Judge is expected in New York in a few days,
to meet the commissioners of the two branches of
the NJ. E. Church.

in attendance upon Court lends animation to the
scene, and those who were there two months ago
would hardly recognize the place.

PRooHsss AT THE TUNNEL. The editor of the
Staunton vndicator. lately passed over the line of
the Blue Ridge Railroad, and is very severe ON its
dilatory and inefficient management. One small
tunnel of 700 feet and another of 500, have been
under way for three years, and the work is not yet
done. One of them he found abandoned at the
western end, and with only two men engaged at
the other. This the editor attributes to reduc-
lion of force at time when labor was cheaper
than it is now.

NSTNGULAR AND MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-A young
woman, Mary Jane Philips, who resided with her
brother-in- law, Mr. Wm. Pepper, near FlShklll
Viloge while on visit in our village, at the house
of her uncle, Mr.. Jno. w. Philips, committed SUI.
eide during the night of Friday last under the fol-
lowing singular circumstances: She had returned
from New York on the Tuesday previous, anu ap-
peared anxious 10 return TO her SISTERS house, Dat
was prevailed upon to remain few days until her
uncle could take her home. AT this she repeated
Nv expressed considerable uneaSineSS, from the DIS
satisfaction it would occasion among her tHendS.
| On Thursday evening she told several with whom
she was in company, that she was dying anu de-
sired that physician should be called. DIR. Bell
was accordingly sent for, who pronounced 1t
mere hysercal affection, and stated that her gen
| eral health was good. /.
On Friday evening she retired to her room as uSu-
al, nothing peculiar having been observed in her
behavior to excite suspicion or alarm, and on en-
tering her room next morning she was not 10 De
| found, although her clothes remained as she had
taken them of, and her jewelry was lying upon
table. Diligent inquiry was made during the NOR
ming but no traces could be ha, of her, when one
of the neighborS proposed, about l O'Clock in the
afternoon, that she mig have got into the cistern
| (Which was on the back piazza) although II had a
chain pump in it, and it supposed 10 be impos-
Sibe for a grown person to have got through the
| aperture.
| Here, however, the body was found, in hey night
clothes, and she was drawn out 10 await the ami
! val of the Coroner. DR.. PIoal, of Wappenger's

ceeded 10 hold an inquest but the examination
not proving satisfactory TO the jury, they were un-
able to agree, four only accedng to the verdict as
drawn up by the coloner, who then dismissed them
aud returned home.
At the suggestion of some of our citizens, JUS
tice Cortland was requested by Mr. Philips, on Sun
day morning, TO summon another jury, and again

was rendered of suicide by drowning. There Is
some considerable mystery about the affair, as TO
the cause of the sad occurrence; though she was
evidently suffering under mental alteration. Be-
