Foreign Afairs.

Since our last issue two steamers have
arrived, which confirm the previous intel
,igence of the Turkish victories, as also
bring some additional news.
AT appears that at the battle ofOltenit-
"a, 0,000 Russians were engaged. and
that the combut lasted six hours, when
the Russians were completely defeated,
leaving large quantity of muskets and
ammunition on the field, and having 500
men killed. TAe loss of the Turks is
stated to have been only Is killed and y
wounded. When TIE news was received
in Constantinoplc, the whole population
went INTO extacies, and the Sultan sent
Omar pacha the present of horse.
The Russians are said to have been re-
pulsed FIVE times in their attack ks on the
fortress Of St. Nicholas. The attack was
hy land and sea, and Russia steamer
with 1900 men was stranded, of which
only 25 of her crew were saved, who were
taken prisoners and sent to Constantinple.
-inother Russia vessel it is also said to have
been taken.
Since the above was written, the steam
er Asia has arrived, bringing later news
from Europe, which will be seen in our
Telegraphic column, on the third page.

Mexico,

Santa anna. following the illustrious
example Of Louis Napoleon. has had
himself proclaimed Dictator lorten years.
This was not al all unexpected, bu. we are
little surprised TINT he did not take the
title of Emperor. The imperial title he
perhaps has reserved for the next act in
the drama Of his evenlful life, unless, in
the meantime, his 'beloved coun!rymen"
take a notion to make him s travel'
again. His present rule is despo,ic,
which is probably the best the Mexicans
could be under. According to the intel
'igence, his title to the Dictatorship was
recognized by all the. States bu. one,
which wanted 10 make it perpetual.

lull particulars Of the shameful outrages
now practising on the travelling public, IN

Tor The Adveftfser
MEssEs. EDIT0Rs II notice in the last num-
Der of the ''Shied and Thing" a sickly, purilo
article that, l presume, emanated from the
brainlcss gourd of poor "Janus," the small beer
lawyer, or from the empty Uranium of ''Gallon,"
the fool. However, be that as it may, it has
been cxtortcd from some jaekanapes whose skull
contains 81 over amount of sap.
The auhor has evidently been trying to swell
himself into the elephant when hc is only fac
similc of the toad; and in so doing has drawn
too largely on his limited stock of witcism hence
the amount of wind elected at each effort to do
the smart thing.
Crack away again, "Galon," but be very care
full of the result. O. yes let US have another

act as swabcr. A DEMOCRAT.

Our friends will thus see that VIC fix subscrip-
tons at very low terms in the expectation that
our session ejaculation will be sufficiently cx-
tcnsive t. Justify our very moderate prices.
The coming session OF the Legislature will be
musua,,y interesting. Many OF the gcncrl and
local Issues Of the last canvass, in this State,
will come up for consideration. The School
Question, Taxation, Currency, General Finance,
the Maine Law. Or the Liquor Question in some
shape. our Federal Relations, and not least in
Importance, the Judciel Organization OF the
State arc ali liable or likely to become subjects
of Legislative action, during the progress of the
ensuing session. The general expectation that
by the Biennial provision Of the Constitution.
the action OF this branch of this branch Of the
State Government viii be compelled to suffice
for two years will add unusual importance and
interest to the proceedings of this winter, more
especially than all, to the Financial concerns Of
the State, for the next two years.
We shall engage efficientand competent repor-
tcrs and secure thorough and ample transcripts
of the proceepngs.
Full attention will also be given to the action
Of Congress and the General Government, and
to Foreign and Domestic Intelligence.
We trust our friends throughout the State will
give us their aid il circulating our Session pa
