their preparations and menaces they failed to take

cupy less of the Turkish territory now than they did
in September last-though their defensive position
is better from the shortening Of their line aud the
command Of the mouths of the Danubeit is clear that
unless they accomplish feat of moment like
the capture Of SiliSris their military prestige will
gain nothing from the campaign, and even without
any farther reyerses, their position will be much
worse than when il begun.
We give prominently in another column an ac-
count Of the state Of affairs in Turkey from Col.
BOwles, an American officer who has taken com
mand in the Turkish army. His representations vary
most decidedly from those of the British journals and
military men; it is but fair to say that the gallant
Colonel Rad not yet reached the seat of Wax when be
wrote, aud cannot speak of the efficiency of Omer
Pasha's army or the skill Of its commander and prin-
cipal officers. On this head we free to confess
that we have placed much less confidence in sispar-
aging statements since the brilliant fighting and skill

from The DObrodja and the defense of Silistria.
