DREADFUL CONDITION OF THE TURKS AT BA-
LAXLAvA.-A foreign writer .eives the following
picture of the suffering and destlution among the
Turks in the town of Balakava.
As 10 the town ITSELF words cannot describe the
fifth it's horrors. its hospitals, its burials, its dead
and dying Turks, it's crowded lanes, its noisome
sheds, lis besStly pureus or its decay. All the
pictures ever drawn OF plague and pestience. from
the work OF the inspired writer who chroncled the
woes of uti1el Egypt down to the narratives OF
Boccaccio, De Foe, or Molte, fall short of indvd
aal "bits" OF disease and death which any one may
see in half dozen places during half an hours
walk In BaakIava In spite of all our efforts, the
dying Turks have made of every lane and street
r{oard, and the forms oil human suffering which
meet the eye at every turn. and once wont to
shock us, have now made c8lluus, and have ceased
even TO attract passing attention. Raise up the
piece Of mating or coarse rug which hangs across
the doorway OF some miserable house, from within
which you hear waiings aud cries OF pain and
prayers to the Prophet and you will see in one
spot and in one instant mass of accumulated woes
that will serve you with Nightmares for lifetime
The dead, laid out as they died, lying side by
side with The living and the latter present spec
tscle beyond all imagination. The commonest ne
cessarieS OF a hospital wanting there is not
the least attention paid to decency cleanliness
the stencil is sppalliDg-the lun.id air barely
struggle out to taint the atmosphere, save through
the chinks in the walls and roots, and. for all can
observe these men die without the least efforts be-
ing made TO them. There they lie Just as they
were let gently down on the ground by the poor
fellows their comrades, who brought them on their
backs from the camp with the greatest tenderness,
but who not allowed to remain with them The
sick appear to be tended by the sick, and the dying
by the dying.

OUR FINANCES.

The Richmond Examiner, in an ar,i.
Gle on tho present condition of our
State finances, says: ut is unless to con.
ceal from ourselves the fact that the Fl !.
nances of Virginia are in vcryunprom-
ising condition. We refer to the Inter-
nal Improvement department of her fl.
nances, and not TO the annual revenue de-
partment, With large dcbthangipg o..
yer her, and an exhausted treasury, her
financial officers are at their wits end
TO devise-not indeed a remedy. which
shall again replenish her Golfers aud
place hor in her former position Of cred
it and independencc-but to devise the
means necessary to enable her to pre-
serve her credit by meeting the demands
which are now pressing upon her treas
ury. And we find ,hcproud old State Of
Virginia actually accepting -"payable
when in funds"-the sight drafts which
are from day to day made upon her
and in which in commercial point of
view, is bound to pay in cash on pre-.
sentation, OF be considered dishonored.
Such is the course the state is at present
compelled to adopt with all drafts made
upon her for account of Internal I'M
provements. There are no funds in the
treasury. There is no sale for bonds"
