STATS OF the TURKISH Army "A
melancholy account Of the state OF the
Turkish army is given by medical
man IN the Turkish camp. He states
that 5000 Turkish soldiers had already
died, and that over 5000 were sick and
missing and then adds -
'In addition to cholera, intermittent
lever, and dysentery, the Turkish camp
is visited ty new plaques IN the shape
Of iyphus, ugly wounds, hunger, and
cold. The writer Of the letter saw the
troops, hall OF which were badly dress
ed badly disciplined and badly led
Asiatics and Egyptians, march to the
Danube, almost without medical al
tendanls. The Turks, strong in faith,
reckoned on the clear skies, the mild.
ness of temperature, the promises OF
consignmenis oi provisions and uniforms
from Varna, and ofphysicans with med.
icins. surgical instruments, and banda
ges from Cons,an'inople. Omar Pasha
did every thing ,ha, General could
possibly do, but his exertions TO secure
footing in Wallachia and Molavia
were in vain. RAIN, snow, wind and
storm conspired against him, and the
loamy roads we're soon in such sad
sta that the transport Of the necessa-
ries of life Tor large bodies of troops was
found TO be impossible, and the Turkish
army had no choice but to retrace it's
steps. The dear,h oI provisions begins
to be very alarming, and the clothing Of
thenen is miserable in the EXTREME
The skins Of the newly-killed hal'slarv.
ed sheep are Immediately cut up to
make coverings for the naked lee, of the
soldiers.' "
