THE RUSSIAN CRUsADE.-The idea prevails
among the Russian soldiers that they are on
their way to the Holy Land, to rescue it from
tho hands of iniidcs in which fattering term
are comprised not only the Mussulmans, but
the English and French. On the march o.
one of the early corps into the Pr;ncipa,ltics,
a party of soldiers halted at a house, to beg
for draurht of water After their thirst
was satisfied, they asked with great simplicity,
but with all apparent sincerity, whether they
were far from Jerusalem, for which they were
on their march; and that they were told they
would reach it in one or two days.

THE REVOLUTION IN GREEcE.-Thc sym.
patIiy with Russia which has long existed,
founded upon their common religion, has it
appears, broken out in open revolt against
the Sultan in Western Turkey. Letters from
Athens represent the excitement in that city
as being great, and the movement as being
general and formidable, all classes partcipa.
ting in the feeling of hostility to the Turk.
Large sums of money have been raised, and
the students and young men of Athens have
demanded of the King to be led against the
Turks. The King is afraid of compromising
his government with the Western Powers,
who put him on the throne. In the mean
time the rcvolutonists are preparing to leave
the city without permission, and the King is
not popular enough with the people to au.
thorize him to attempt to restrain them.
A letter dated ut Athens on the 9Th ult.
says
Things are taking even n more decided stand
than we had supposed. The students of the
University to man have agreed to 20. and
are selling hooks, clothes, jewelry, and every
thing available in order to purchase arms.
And the students in the gymnasiums or pre-
paratory schools also; in fact, al! the young
men in Athens above sixteen. Nor arc means
wanting to support an army, for contrlbu-
tons are pouring in from all quarters from
Greeks living out Of the country.
One man whose name is kept secret has
given one million draclmas, (about one hun
dred aud seventy thousand dollars,) and this
is only portion Of what is subscribed. They
have no navy but plenty of sailors, and
will Immediately purchase vessels and stea:
mers, provided the Turks arc not beforehand
with them. They say too that the Greek
Government will not be compromised, as the
expedition is fitted out by Greeks living
abroad.

LYING IN BED WITH THE HEAD IIIGH.-It
is often question amongst people who are
unacquaintcd with the anatomy and physiol-
ogy Of man, whether lying with the head ca
allied or even with the body, was the most
wholesome. Most consulting their own ease
on this point argue in favor Of that which
they prefer. Now although many delight in
bolsterng up their heads at night and sleep
soundly without injury, yet We declare it to
be dangerous habit.
The vessels through which the blood passes
from the heart to the head, arc always lcsscn-
ed in their cavities when the head is resting
in bed higher than the body, therefore in all
diseases attended with fever, the head should
be pretty near OH level with the body; and
people ought to accustom themselves to
sleep thus to avoid damage.-.Medical Journ.

IIoRHIELE.-A letter from Paris in the
New York Herald, referring to the battle Of
Citatc, in which the Turks gained such II
brilliant victory, says:
Some strange peculiarities in regard to the
late battle at Citate are exciting attention
here. The Ottomans, it appears, fought with
brilliant courage, but committed great over
sights in strategy. The Russians had en-
trenched themselves behind u cluster Of hay
stacks, which if resolutely attacked, might
have been carried, and saved much slaug liter.
The Turks, however successfully attacked
them in the open plain, and four hundred fell
dead and dying at one discharge. lmmedi-
ately after this had occurred, an immense
herd of swine rushed upon the battle field
and thrust their horrid snouts into the blood
and bowels of tho wounded and the dead.
The shrieks and the struggles Of the poor
victims as they attempted to keep of their
bcastly assailants, is something too frightful
for the mind to contemplate. Tho Turks
themselves exclaimed, rs at n distance they
witnessed the fiendish carousal, alas not the
prophet justly forbid US to eat tho flesh OF
swine Z"

LATE FROM SALT LAKE CITY.-A party
has recently arrived at st. Louis from Salt
Lake City. They bring interesting intell.
gence, from which we learn that n bloody
war is about to ensuc between the Mormons
and the wild tribes inhabiting that region.
We subjoin details below:
The party left Salt Lake City on the 25th
December, and encountered several severe
snow storms and bitter cold weather between
there and Fort Laramie. From the latter
place to Austin they experienced very mild
weather. They report all the mountain In.
dans in starving condition, and eating their
horses. The Utah chief, Walker, was pre-
pairing to give the Mormons battle, and as he
has enlisted in his cause the Camanches and
Apaches, bloody struggle may be expected.
lie has sworn n war of determination, and
woe bctdc the MOrmons who fall into his
hands. The MormOns cndeavored to make
a treaty with him, but his demands were con-
sidered intolernnt and they would not com.
ply with them. He required that they should
build him n house rs large rs Gov. YOung's
on u prominence near the city, pay him Il
large sum of money, and furnish him with AS
many wives rs their vcritable Governor has.
So far as the house and money was concern
ed, the MormOns were willing to comply, but
furnishing the wives was another matter, and
here the negotiation ceased. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that this state Of feeling exists, rs it
will be dangerous for small parties of emf
grants to cross the plains the coming spring,
and as in the case Of poor Gunnison and his
party, many whites will perish, who do not
believe in the Mormon creed.
The Arappahas, Cheyennes and Sioux are
making preparations to eXtcrminate the
Pawnees in the spring. They express de-
termination to wipe out the entire tribe
Bloody Indian battles may therefore be cx-
pected soon.
