The. War News from Europe.

The news by the Canada is most important.
The battles between the Turks and Russians
have commenced. Whatever uncertainty may
hang over the particulars narrated, there can
be no doub: blood has been shed.
The Turks have been victorious. Success
to the brave defenders of their homes. Let the
Crescent wave! They have crossed the Dan
ube, maintained their positions, and driven
the Russians back. In Asia the Turks have
also been victorious. Typhus fever has thinned
the ranks of the Russians, and it is evident the
Emperor Nicholas has put himself into tight
place. The arrogant and hypocritical manifes-
to he has issued, is merely cloak to cover up
his piratical attack upon Turkey, and give him
a pious reputation.
Affairs in the Eastern world really look like
times of peril and commotion. Russia. it is
said, is to attack British India, if Great Britain
persists in supporting Turkey. This will raise
a breeze in the British Cabinet, and the Lion
will be obliged to show his claws.
1t is also stated that France has ready 25O00
French troops. TO march at moments warning
for Cons;antinople These French soldiers,
daring, impetuous, and thoroughly drilled in
all the arts and exercise Of war, will carry into
the Portc's forces power almost irresistible.
The brave Circassians are rallying against the
Russians and it is hoped this arrogant and
freedom crushing power of the North-the
great ugly Russian Bear-may be driven back
to his old strongholds and Businesses. The
sympathy ofthe world is, or ought to be, with
Turkey. The Turk defends his home, his
children. May he meet with, as he. merits,
success, and complete victory at last crown the
efforts of even the Mahommedan when he
fights in just cause.

Young Ohio.

Ohio is following close upon New England
been enacted, recently, in that State, which is
great advance upon the old law. The State
is divided into 1900 districts and 36, 900 drec-
tories. There are S3S, 900 scholars in the State
1t is estimated that more than 500. 900 scholars
will attend school the coming winter, and that
40 900 will graduate, or attend school for the
last time, having reached the age Of twenty one
years, enough to turn the scale of any election
even in so big a State as Ohio. How impor-
tant that these youth should have good COM
mon school education to prepare them for the
ballot box :
The whole number of pupils in attendance
upon the public schools in New England. by
the last official report, the last year, was 641,-
9S3, only I4l, 1888 more, in six States, than the
estimated attendance upon the schools in Ohio
the coming winter "T
AS the winter term Of our public schools in
Maine will soon commence, agents and COM
mittee men are admonishcd that it is time TO
secure teachers. They should bear in mind
one important fact, that 1T is more adyanta-
geous to pay good teacher good price than
poor one small compensation. Too many
of our teachers have been allowed to leave the
State for better pay than they could get here.
We do not pay enough; and we hope no school
agent will allow good teacher 10 go out of the
State for employment, when an advance of SIS
or $40 per month will keep him at home.

On Saturday, bark loaded with ice in Au-
gusta was driven by the running ice and cur
rent on the grayels in Hallowell, and Sunday
morning was fast and strong. The steamer
ocean ventured to stop all night at her wharf
In Hailowell, but Sunday got up steam for

The hawser parted and down she came,
leaving the Captain of the bark standing on

Luckily, Bath is an open winter port, one
OF the best on the coast of our sea-girt State.
The embargoed cargoes can all be discharged
here, as well as others arriving during the
winter, and forwarded by the Kennebcc and
Portland Railroad to places of destination.
Thus, our position is comforting to us, and
cannot fail to be to our up-river friends when
the railroad freight bills are passed in for pay
ment, which will no doubt be very moderate.
Navigation on Kennebec river above Bath, is
closed for the season.

Market; for Flour.

According to the following from the Lon
don Shipping List of the 18th, we shall be
likely on this side of the Atlantic to be obliged
to pay good price for flour and other bread
stuffs that will pay to export, for. some time

"Wecan only repeat what we have assert
cd on former OCCASIONS namely, that unless
America can furnisha larger amount of bread
tufts than has ever before been received from
thence, there will be no chance of the Eng,
lish market being overdone with supplies
The wheat trade has, however, during the
last fortnight been much less animated than
before, and reaction to the extent of IS to IS
per quarter has taken place from the highest
point. Our impression is that this decline
will ere long be recovered and we certain
ly see no grounds for anticipating any lasting
or important reduction in the value of wheat 2

Three Cheers for Lewis Cass.

John Van Buren, was one Of The orators at
the meeting Of the democracy at Tammany
Hall, in the City Of New York, on the evening
of the 4th inst Mr., Van Buren,, after endors-
ing the resolutions of the Syracuse convention,
said
{" We were united in 1852 we ought to be
united now. And, felow-ctizens, let me say
TO you one word further in explanation. We
had difference with Gen. Cass We differed
with him in reference 10 the organization Of the
party The democrats of Tammany Hall who
were sent TO the Baltimore Convention were
excluded from that convention. We had a
difference with him in respect to the question
of slavery as il then existed. That is over and
past We have no difference now with Gen.
Cass, and no bad feeling towards him should
exist in the ranks of the democracy II was
not owing 10 the opposition Of our people that
Gen. Cass was not nominated in 1852. He
failed 10 receive that nomination, but, like a
true democrat, he came forward and supported
franklin Pierce. He has done more. Since
that time he has faithfully supported the adj
minisiration Of Franklin Pierce. Since that
time his organ, the Detroit Free Press, has
sided with the regular democracy of the State
of New York, as represented in Tammany
Hall. i therefore say 10 you that these diff
erences have SO far gone by, that, in respect TO
myself, not trace of them remains. Person
ally, never had an nnkind feeling towards
him. | have ENJOYED The intimacy Of that great
and good man, in foreign countries as well as
at home. and regard him now as among the
cherished leaders of the democratic party /
have no means of knowing what may be his
peculiar views ia regard TO myself; but, know
ing and regarding him as one Of the great
leaders of the democratic union, call on you
here TO unile with me in giving THREE CHEERS
FOR LEWIS CASS, Of Michigan. (Three
loud and enthusiastic cheers answered the call !;
then three more. Now, said Mr.. Van Buren,,
if the wind were from the East the old man
could hear that at Detroit, and it would do his
heart good ,i.n,. s,t.t
This is the right spirit. Three cheers for
Leaois Cass'' proposed by one who had been
inimical TO him, but who now has the magnan-
unity to do justice TO the lofty character, un-
furnished fame, and benevolence of heart of one
whom the orator styles "great and good
man." Never were plaudits more deservedly
bestowed upon any shining son of the republic

doctrine TO avoid all 'entangling alliances with
foreign powers"

cans adopted this doctrinel"
Ever since she refused 10 join the Holy
Alliance in putting down one of the greatest

This allusion toNAPOIEoS |. silenced the

unwilling the Euperors views on all these

GRANITE FOR THE New Custom HOUSE,
House in this city, is to be furnished by Capt.
James Hewett, of Rockland, from quarry on
Hewett's Island, so called, one of the Muscle
Ridge group. This granite is of uniform
dark gray color, slightly tinged with redish
hue, and when hammered, presents beautiful
appearance. For building of this descrip-
ton, we think it combines as many good quail
tiles, to say the least, as any other granite now
in use. We congratulate the commissioners
on the completion of a contract with Captain
Hewett, who will Immediately commence get
ting out the stone, as soon as the plans are
completed.

= The Bangor Democrat suggests that
all newspaper publishers in this State, decline
to publish the laws or do any work for the
Legislature, unless the State can pay as high
prices as private citizens. We go in for that.
It is disgrace to the State that some tall ex-
ample Of Legislative meanness towards news
paper publishers is enacted every year. We

ira session. Well bet dime he was not re-

Senator Douglas.

This gentleman has just returned from a
tour of observation in Europe. His tour was
made in quiet, unostentatious way, just such
way as is agreeable TO the republican ideas
of genuine democrat like himself. He visit
ed all the principal cities on he continent. 1t
is not of very common occurrence that Ameri-
can Senators make journies Of observation for
their own personal improvement in the Old
World and we are glad TO learn that Senator
Douglas received marks of honor from royal
dignitaries consistent with his high standing
as une Of the leading statesmen Of the Ameri-
can republic. He has probably laid up rich
stock of information, which will be impaired
for the benefit of his countrymen in the elevat-
ed station he now occupies. and in still more
elevated stations for which he is eminentIy
qualified, and 10 which it is very probable the
people may call him.
Senator Douglas acquitted himself we'll
Several incidents are related of him while hy-
Ing round among the sovereigns and courts of
Europe. He visited the Emperor of Russia,
who took him to review of three hundred and
