Arrival Of the Niagara.
MGE

New YORK, Dec 9.
The steamer Niagara arrived yes
terday.
The Porte -reeeive ed from the Brit
ish and French A ambassadors assn
rance of effective aid in case Of need
and Turkey may Sc nd fleet into tho
Black Sea without fear of leaving the
capitol exposed. Several statements
are circulated in regard to a new di-
plomatic note, but none are deemed
reliable.
All hostilities have ceased along
the Moldayia and WalEchia lines, on
account Of flood in the Danube,
which prevented operations When
frosts set in, it is9sppposed that fight
ing will commence again.
Vienna letters Of the 23d, state
that Omar Pascha received orders to
prosecute the war with vigor. Adj
vices from Bucharest state that Cots
chakoff received similar orders
There is but little doubt that diplO-
mats are busy.
1t is stated that the British Gov
ernment sent note which was re-
fused; it is also stated that Napoleon
drew comprehensive note to which
England and France agreed, and had
invited other Powers to join them.
If Vienna reports are to be believed,
Austria says that the Car replied in
answer to IN enquiry from Austria,
tina the Emperor will propose a pro-
iect for settlement of difficulties.
The Sultan is reported TO be equal
Is anxious to come to terms, but will
not be the first to retract. 1t is sta
ted, however, that he has sent
commissioner to the Danube to re-
strain orders to 0mer Pascha. This
gives diplomacy another chance
Omer Pascha holds Il strong position
at Kalefat, with 10000 men, and is
fortifying himself strongly. A ru-

Omer Pascha had received orders to
abandon Kaleiat.
Owing to the rise of the Danube

Mr. EDITOR 1t will, doubtless,
be gratifying TO the friends Of edu-
cation generally, to learn that the
success attending the enterprise Of
establishing a College at Fayetteville,
Tenn, is not to be regarded as prob
lematic, but certain. The College
edifice is now far advanced to compile
ton "a substantial and imposing
building, rejecting credit upon the
architect and the building committee,
and such q building, when completed,
rs would be an ornament to any
place. The board Of trustees is a
corps Of intelligent and competent
gentlemen, who are determined to
meet all the responsibilities connect
ed with their office. The board has
now received an Incorporating char
ter, by act of the Legislature of Ten
nessee, and have commissioned their
agent TO make up the requisite en-
dowment fund from an enlightened
and liberal public lie is now in the
field and engaged in his appropriate
work, with encouraging prospects Of
success before him, which are bright

citizens of Fayetteville and vicinity,
who have so literally and unitedly
contributed to the building of the
edifce among them, are now emulous
to have the endowment, first required
made up as beginning, or nucleus
upon which the Institution is to
open, but which is TO be thereafter
extended to a sufficient endowment

The Turkish Army.

A European staff officer, writing
from Omar Pascha's head quarters at
Shumla, under date Of Oct 5, to a
Vienna paper, gives the following ~
teresting particulars of the mate11el
and discipline Of the Turkish army
Il brought from Europe the most
incorrect notions Of the Turkish army
which my journey to Shumla has
succeeded in rectiiying. Hitherto !
thought that personal valor, united
to ferocity, disorder anG indiscipline,
we're the main features Of the Mos
lem forces, and | attributed to these
troops as much energy in the attack
as disorganization and panic after
wards. The foreign officers and the
German Instructors, who have rem
dered the greatest services TO this
army, and who we'll know it. assure
me, however, that the Turkish sol
der is made of good stuff, joyial and
obedient, and very enduring under
hardships. The rapidity with which
the new recruits who have just been
incorporated are instructed, proves
beyond all things the aptitude of
these people for military purposes.
All the elements for forming IN ex-t
cellent army lexist. A few years
time for devebpment-and let The
military academy Of Pera beincreased
in proportion with the army, BY edu-
eating a greater number of young
men-let the positions of the lieuten-
ants and captains be ameliorated-'
and the army will be as good as those
of the Western Powers.
AS it is, this army is infinitely SUI
perior to the opinion in which it Is
generally held, and to judge Of it BY
the forces at present concentrated at
Shumla, it may be safely stated not
to be behind any army for precision in
tactics and the man@uyres of the
three arms-infantry, cavalry, and
ARTILLERY united. Youw i'll see that if
war really commences, and the Cor
dian knot, which diplomacy has but
the more entangled, has to be cut by
the sword, the army will do its duty
we'll The rest will depend on grand
combinations on the latitude given
to the seraskier (Omer Pascha) for his
opera lions, and on gobd fortune and
chanc e, which after all play great
part ih NIL wars.
think | have alrd lady told you
that this army numbers at present
about 100, 900 men, regular and ir-
regulb r soldiers. Other J 5000 men
are b ping drawn together behind the
BalkIn; formed out of the reserve of
Rourh elia. But if host lities COM
mence, do not see why it should
not be reinforced by ~ pieces of ar
tillery y, and by other battalions Of
Mauz af, of whom eight or ten regi
ments still remain at Constantlnople,
in Bosnia, and other parts.

For the Fayetteville Observe,

You see from our last, that there
was difference of sentiment; some
of us believing there is thorough
furnishing in the Scripture to every
good work and the idea Of dropping
correspondence Z, merely because ma
jority Of Richland saw fit to vote
for their o wn ministry in lieu Of ours
to preach on Sunday, some did not
like, and were sorry that it was GU
Of order TO bring the matter plainly
to light. But believing men were
imperfect and liable to do wrong, we
hoped for the better. The next Sep

Church, Grundy county; correspond
ence called for, when Sequatchy Va

their turn handed in: they were re-
ferIed to the committee Of arrange
ments in consequence of difficulty
between them, Richland came up
with satisfactory letter as to the
mistreatment, and the messengers
took Elder Yates aside, and from
what he said when they came back,
they satisfied him on the subject. =
But $he Association never spread il
on the minutes, and they then told
them that doctrine was the difficulty
and refused to reopen correspondence
At proper time there was Il petit
tionary letter handed in from Fount.
ain Creek Association, which consist.
ed of some five churches that had
ript off from Richland. The recep.
ton was referred to the next Asso-
citation in order, to inquire whether
they were orthodox. Monday, when
the caseof Sequatchya and Caney Fork
came up, we found that Sequatchy
had dropped Caney Fork in conse-
qlence of doctrine, and they brought
forward letter written by Elder
Ozias Denton, as testimony against
Caney Fork us to the doctrine, which
was publicly read. Elder Denton
being present, and being one Of the
delegates from Caney Fork, begged
leave to make some explanations, as
the letter was mere skeleton, and
was a private letter to Elder Moses
Easterly, but was not allowed to
make one word Of explanation. After
considerable deb ting, Elder Denton,
with the leave of his colleagues, re-
quest4d their let ter back, and to drop

CURIOUS CALCULATION. The New York Tri-
hume, basing its calculation upon the railroad
statistics furnished by the London Statistical
Society, which giving, among other things, the
number of miles traversed to one passenger kill
ed, comes to the conclusion that if Railroad
should be built to the sun, every passenger
would by the laws of chance be killed before
reaching his fiery destination At the ordinary
rate and speed, it would take 5l4 years to reach
the sun; but 22S years of continuous railroad
travelling brings the passenger up, and this
would only carry him a. little more than half
way to the sun In Germany, however, the sta
tistics are more favorable to human life, for du-
ring the years ls4s-'49, and 1850, on length
of railway open of ,480 English miles, the
number of passengers conveyed was 81, ,7l3 ,297 =,
the miles Travelled 1855 ,436 800, only one pas
senger killed 1t will be altogether best, there
fore, that when the railroad is built to the sun,
it shall be under German management.
