Important TclcgrapHlic Htcms.
From the Picayune of Wednesday,
MD KEN Nh DITGGIA

From the Picayune of Wednesday,
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
New YORK, Nov. l4.-An armistico is said
to have been concluded between Turkey and
Russia.
Latest advices say that the Turks had cross
ed the Danube, but the report was not credited.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
In England there had had been riots at Wi
Fam among the miners.
Neither France nor England appears to have
lost hopes of a peaceful settlement of the East
crn difficulties.
1t was reported to have been stated in Berlin
that the Austrian Cabinet were equally as ca
ger to forward negotiations for the preservation
of peace as England and France.
The question Of q union between Spain and
Portugal was again being warmly discussed.
Senor Tacon is reported to have refused the
appointment OF Minister to Washington.
1t is now rumorcd that thirty thousand Turk
ish troops of the line, and l,40Ocayalry crossed
the Danube on the 27th, and that hostiIitics
were expected TO commence on the following
day. The London Times fully believes this.
Another account says that the Austrian En-
voy had submitted a new note to the Sultan,
guaranteeing him the protection Of the four
powers, which Russia had already accepted;
and that the Saltsn had consequently issued
orders postponing the commencement Of hos
Titles till the LIST November, provided they had
not yet been commenced. If they had been
commenced the order for postponcmcnt was
to be void.
Omer Pasha, it is said had informed Prince
Gortschakoff of his intention to occupy the
pr~incjpalities with the army under his command;
and Gortschakotf. it is added, resolved to eva
cuate the southern portion Of WalIachia.
The Russians had not yet attempted to cross
the Danube.
From Italy a report comes that the Amcri-
can Consul had died at Iuuis.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
The new manifesto of The Emperor of Rus
sin is said to characterize France as the hotbed
of revolution, and to use other expressions re-
ilecting severely on that nation. The Car is
reported to use the following language in his
document 81 AN in the right, and [ will de-
fend it as the right Of my co. religionists against
all foreign interference. ] shall not stand alone
notwithstanding the unfayorable symptoms of
public opinion.
The Northern portion of Russia is reported
to be strongly in favor Of war, but in the South
there is a more pacific disposition.
The English merchants, residing in st. Pc
tersburg, have been assured by the Emperor
that their persons and property would be pro-
tected under any circumstances-that there
would be no risk in sending ships or goods to
the ports in his empire during the present sea-
son-that in case of hostilities it was not the
Emperor's intention to detain British ships in
his ports, provided the British would show a
reciprocal disposition. These declarations are
considered to indicate that the Emperor consi-
ders it probable that hostilities will take place
between England and Russia.

GrinneN's Arctic Erpedton.--Letters have

Gold in Louisiana.--A Mr. R. w. Jones
living on the head waters of the Amite river
says Delta, writes to agentleman at Springfield
that he has discovered gold in the soft, yellow
ish rock of that region. In his search he found,
on an elevated hill, a vein six to eight inches
wide with a dip Of some 40 degrees. lie ex-
amained it closely, and satisfied himself that it
would pay well for working. The precious
metal is EMBEDDED in a soft, yellowish rock,
easily crushed, a busheI of which will yield
50 SO of pure gold, 1t is his design to return
to the locality Immediately and arrange for

UThe N. Y. Tribune terms the Pacific
Rail Road Company, which was organised in
New York a few days since, by the election of
a Board of Directors from all part of the coun-
try, the "Moon-shine Rail road" Of which "Mr.
Robt. J. Walker is to be the great snow-plough.'
The Company, the Tribune thinks, ais intended
to be a self>acting machine, 1t goes upon the
plan upon which interminable arches are con-
structed. Giyena place to stand upon, the
work can be carried on indefinitely without ex-
ternal support or an ultimate landing place."

Gov. Hebert and the State Bonds.

Some days ago: says the Crescent, we I'M
dertook to arraign Gov. Hebert for his redicu>
lous vanity in having sent on to Philadelphia
to have his likeness engraved on certain Bonds
authorized by law to be issued by him. We
showed that the Governors desire to have his
face on the bonds had been an expense to the
State of one hundred and twenty-three dollars
a day for sixty or ninety days
Yesterdays Courier takes the matter up and
attempts to defend the Governor, although it
says not 4 word about his wishing to have his
face on the bonds. The Courier goes on in its
awkward way with an attempt at explanation
of the reasons for the delay in the delivery of
the bonds. 1t tells us that "fnding there was
no probability of the bonds reaching Baton
Rouge before Tie 18th Of Septembcr, the Cover
nor ordered them to be printed III the common
way which was done," etc.
VIII did not the Governor have the bonds
printed Sin the common way" in the first place?
What occasion was there for any extraordinary
deviation from the common way" Of printing
the bonds, or what necessity was there for hav-
ing the Governors likeness upon them? Bonds
have been printed in the common way" as the
Courier has it, from time immemorial, and we
have never yet heard that this way of printing
them ever deteriorated from their value or in.
terfered with their negotiability. We would
like to know in what the difference consists be-
tween bonds printed in the common way" and
those with a Governors likeness upon them,
which would justify the expense of waiting for
them sixty or ninety days at the rate of one
hundred and twenty.three dollars a day?
But the Courier, instead of combining itself
to an explanation of the matter in the ordinary
way, goes on to treat it medically. The Cou-
Ter says:
But when we take into consideration the
dreadful epidemic which has been raging
throughout the State, and nowhere with great
err violence than at Baton Rouge, surely no
reasonable man will hesitate to admit, what
ever appearances may seem to indicate, that
Gov. Hebert is innocent of this charge.
This is an entirely novel way OF treating such
a subject. What the "dreadfu! epidemic" in
Baton Rouge had to do with the Governors
notion of having his likeness on the bonds, or
how yellow fever in Louisiana could effect the
engraving of bonds in Philadelphia, we confess
our inability to answer: Perhaps our neighbor
does not explain himself with sufficient clears
ness. ltmy be Courier intends to infer that
the epidemic affected the Governors health in
it was not thought proper TO take his likeness
for the purpose of having it engraved at that
particular time? How about that? Will the
Courier explain?

GFLarge grants Of land have been made by
Congress to Arkansas for building a Rail road
through that State. Considerable controversy
prevails between the advocates Of conflicting
interests as to the location Of the road. The
Governor has been petitioned to call an extra
session Of the Legislature to settle upon the
proper route, but has refused. His refusal cre-
ates considerable dissatisfaction. The two
points indicated as the termini of the road on
the Mississippi river are Helena and Memphis.

UIf you are sick, the probability is that the
root ofyour suffering is in the stomach. From
a weak stomach proceed dyspepsia, langour,
oppression in the diaphragm, jaundice, head
ache, nausea, bodily weakness, dimness Of
sight, heartburn, costiveness, dysentery, and 4
legion of other tormenting diseases. Indiges-
ton produces thin blood, and therefore destroys
the strength and vigor of the system. TO re-
store the tone of the stomach, and enable it TO
throw off and dismiss forever all these tormen-
ting and dangerous complaints, nothing is ne
cessary but a persevering use Of Hoof1and's
German Bitters, prepared by DR.. c. NJ. jack
son, Philadelphia. There is no mistake, no fail
ure in their %sanative effect.

UThe Washington correspondent Of the N.
Y Courier estimates that receipts from Gus
toms for the fiscal year of 1853, will be 1913
$4,000, and the receipts from public lands and
other scources $6,2oO,ooo, thus making the
total revenue equal to Sso,o5o,0oo. This is an
enormous aggregate, and will afford the gov
ernment ample funds towards reducing its debt.
The amount of debt received and cancelled this
week at. the treasury, it is said, will amount to
over a million of dollars.
