Chief Surgeon of The Turkish Contingent.

Chief Surgeon Of the Turkish Contingent.
In consequence of DR.. E. A. Czapkay's knowledge
OF the Turkish language, he appointed Chief Sur
geon TO the sd Regiment Of the Turkish contingent,
and served throughout the Crimean war His SER
vices were so highly appreciated that he received the
following compliment from the Commander Of the
Regiment:
Ertrdct Re0imentaI Orders Sd Regiment Il6dntrv
Turkish Contingent, Hurch A. 1886.
Dr. Czapsay, Surgeon, bel removed to one Of the
Polish COssack Regiments of the Turkish contingent
struck of the strength Of the Regiment from this
date.
The commanding officer takes this opportunity Of
recording hls sense Of DR.. Czapkay's services, from
the date of his joining TIE Regiment in August 1855.
The cholera was then prevalent, and the SUI geon S
knowledue Of Turkish was particularly valuable in
that trying season, during which, and up to the pre-
sent time his attention to his duties has been unre-
hitting The degree to which he obtained the conf
dence OF the men was proved by the numbers who
sorted to his quarters for private advice. The
manding officer has only to add his personal thanks
for the kindness and care bestowed on himself whilst
aborng under fever, and to express his best wishes
for his future welfare.

The amount of interest to be paid will not ex. ceed $l00,000, which will be much less than the expenditure which would be re. quired for an extra session of Congress Alter all, the Black Republicans and olh.

SENATOR BRowN's SpEEcH.- The speech of Senator Brown of Mississippi before the Democracy at Tammany Hall like all the efforts of this able statesman is bold, manly and straightforward. We are glad that Senator B. told the Demo- crats there assembled some brave truths. He distinctly avowed that he was in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, because it gave the South chance for expansion, or the ex- tension of slavery" and he might have said that this extension of " slavery" is just what Mir. Postmaster Fowler so gin. gerly alludes to as the extention of the area of freedom" Both mean the same thing, and are the same thing. It is un- fortunate that Democrats fall into the hab. 1t of using the false terms of their oppo- nents. Freedom burns as bright, yea brighter, at the South than at the North, despite all the slang and abuse of Aboi- lionists. Senator Browns speech will call forth thought and discussion, and the fact that the Abolition press do not give it to their readers shows that they are afraid of the truth New York Day Book.

 It is unnecessary for the proprietor to say anything in praise of Buffalo City. The fact of it's meeting with such continued bitter op- position from other points and places, is some proof, at least, that it is THE PLACE, THE POINT for city, in fact. Go see the site, ana the extensive country and apid improvements; view the Buffalo Shoals, examine the maps or the country, enquire of old citizens. Pay nc ne attention to those who are actuated by seH, interest, or dislike to see others prosper: ana you will surely be convinced that Buffalo Cly, at the foot of the Buffalo Shoals, on Upper White river, in Arkansas, is destined to be, III reality, what it is by name.

Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON, April Am unusually large
number of proposals for the Southern mail
service are in form at star bids--that is, the
contractors to carry the mails by any mode
they may choose, without being confined to
the particular class of vehicles
Assurances have been given from various
quarters that certain banks will advance freely
money on contractors evidence of service.
The dispatches sent to Gen. Lamar are, it
is represented, of the most positive character.
They instruct him to demand from Nicaragua
an apology, restitution, and indemnity, and on
a failure to comply, he is to ask for his pass
ports.
The Home Squadron, it is said, will be
strengthened, and the vessels placed at the
disposal of Lamar, who will use them for the
defence of American citizens, their property,
and rights.
The dispatches to flag officers McCluney and
Long, commanding, respectively, the Home
and Pacific Squadrons, are to obey the orders
of Gen. Lamar, or, if they fail to receive them,
they are to exercise a latitudinous discretion.
The usual diplomatic course has been pur-
sued in informing the foreign legations of the
intention of this government,

The Fugitive slave Case.

PHILADELPHIA, April s. The fugitive
slave case was continued this afternoon. There
was no abatement of the excitement in regard
to it, and large police force was in attendance
to preserve order. The counsel for the defence
moved that Commissioner Longstreet hand the
case over to another Judge, for the reason that
he had prejudged the case, and acted as an ad-
vocate for the claimants, it having been shown
in evidence that he pronounced the first power
of attorney ofthe claimants as insufficient, and
that he had informed them that he would be
obliged to release the slave if arrested nnder it,
and that by his advice a new power of attorney
has retained Mr.. Benjamin Brewster for the
claimants.
He said that 1t was peremptorily the duty OF
the commissioner to give this information, be.
fore he issued his warrant The commission
err overruled the motion made by the counse
for the defence. The evidence for the defence
was mostly of negroes, who endeavored to
prove that Daniel Webster was in Harrisburg
in March, 1858. One witness, an intelligent
colored man, swore that he met him in Balti.
more, in 18iS, and in Philadelphia in 1S49, and
in Harrisburg in June 1858. His evidence
was not shaken by a rigid cross examination
The examination viii be continued until late
