WILL Turkey RE CHRIsrIANIzED ?-The
probabilities are all in favor of this happy
consummaGon The elements tending to the
elevation in morals and happiness of now
benighted people, are not only those of con-
viction of the prevalence of truth over error,
but also in the generally the irresist-
able power-of an overwhelming majority.
Thus we find that out of population of ff-
teen millions, now peopling the Ottoman
Empire, only about four millions are follow
ers of the false prophet. The rest-eleven
millionaire all Christians, though Of differ
ent creeds, the majority, however, protesting
the tenets of the Greek Church Hence, a
century and half ago, the commencement
of a Russian desire for the possession of
portion of Turkey-for Russia is the great
region and resource of Greek worship, hier-
archy and theology. Hence the sanguinarv
revolt, and final independence of Greece.
Hence the war Of 1888, when Diebitsch, and
a Russian force, advanced to Adrainople-
and hence the great Crimean war Of lS54-5
-6. We do not mean to say that in all these
conflicts religion was the only, or even the
ostensible cause. No-but it was the secret.
hidden, and really moving power that swayed
the Car. 1t was the electric spark that ami
mated Peter the Great, Catharine and Mich
olas, against Turkey, the plausible excuse for
covetousness, the pious cloak yelling the de-
formity and yet dignity of ambition True
Turkey may be evangelzed-but does it
therefore follow that Russia is to seize her as
thief? We think not. The dwellers in
the Danubian provinces, in relation to which
there have been so many fights, are nearly
all Of the Greek Church, with Turkish Gov
ernors-so in Albania, SO in Montenegro and
other dependences-and so formerly in new
emancipated Greece There is, therefore,
every reason to hope that the sun of right
eousness will penetrate Mahomedan darkness,
and disperse the immoralities of Islamism,
that the minority too, will insensibly but
gradually merge their religious opinions into
those of the majority, that the Testament
will soon supply the place of the Koran, that
polygamy will cease, that the ties of family
affection take its evil position, that the glad
tidings of the Gospel of Peace will efface the
memory of the sanguinary imposter, whose
descendants only converted with the sword
and that, in a word, the crescent will pale
its Intellectual fire, and fade away, before the
ever-increasing and effulgent triumphs of the

The White Slaves of New York.

The arrest of demon named Dawson, the
"Kng of the Fourth Ward" few months
since, for the brutal treatment of number of
unfortunate girls. revealed a species of white
slavery in our midst of the most revolving
character, and awakened almost for the first
time, an inquiry in the public mind, into the
causes which produce such wholesale prosti-
tuition IN this city. On examination it was
ascertalned that the unfortunate inmates of
these dens of infamy were mostly from the
country, and that they are entrapped either
oy advertisements or through the agency of
PROGRESSES the remainder are poor female
emlgrants, who are lured into these places by
sailors, many of whom they have seduced at
sea. Once within these dens. like hell itself
there is no redemption from them They are
piled with drugged liquor till they become
brutalzed; they are deprived of their liber-
ty the brutal landlords hold their clothing,
and from their clutches there is no escape for
the poor wayward creatures They must
submit to every degradation in truth, those
who are not conversant with the condition of
this class of women can have no conception of
the moral degradation in which they are
forced to wallow. And these prac ices are
not confined to the low haunts of the vicious
which | have named very pretty young
girl, who, having been seduced in one of our
New England villages, came here to hide her
shame, was entrapped into den in Howard
street, by Hebrew named Josephs. Here
she founl a terrible set of wretehes in female
form, who were nightly in the habit of ex-
hibiting their persons in a nude state to
greenhorns from the rural districts and the
used up men about town. She refused to
join in the indecent exhibition, when the pro-
prietor and his girls beat her with sticks and
tore her clothing from her body, thinking to
force into compliance. Her Yankee grit re-
belled against these outrages, and she resolv-
ed to leave and demanded her clothing. The
proprietor had the effrontery to tell her that
she did not own any, but that it was his
property. Making her escape, she came to
the ity Hall and told her story. Judge
Welsh sent an officer after Josephs, and soon
compelled Kim to give up her property.
1t is whispered around town that our au-
thorities will Immediately take measures to
find out how many of these poor creatures
are kept in these hells against their own will,
and see that they are set at liberty. 1t is to
be hoped the hint or rumor will prove true.

SLAIN IN TIE BATTLE OF INDUsTRY.-Some
of the journalists have expressed regret that
no one has compiled the yearly account of
fatal accidents occurring in this State Four
hundred it is thought, happened in the year
1858. We think it easonable to estimate the
loss of men by casualty at one for each day,
in the work department of California; every
day the arm of death makes one eccentric
stroke every day, there is opened one pre-
mature grave. An estimate of the deaths
caused by railroad and steamboat accidents
in the United States for six years commenc-
ing 1858, gives the loss at exactly 5000
Other casualties would probably increase the
number to 5000, leaving California to itself
Then, we will suppose that other than min
ing accidents here increase the yearly deaths
to 500, and it will be seen how much more
suddenly wasteful Of human life are the cir
cumstances attending our enterprises over
those of other States singly and combined
until the whole number is approximated. II
we include the deaths by wicked violence,
the ghastly picture has a more hideous com
plection, its rivulets of blood swell to turbid
rivers, and the shadows of murderers reach
from the outer foreground clear down the
long perspective, darkening every reflector
Of light save the bones of victims.
The slain in the battle of industry. though
veterans may fall rapidly, do not shock us
like the corpses Of murdered men honorable
death, however violent, consecrates the me
mory of the dead and softens and shortens
bereavement We should not regret that
there has been no annual report of deaths
among the workers let us rather deplore
them in the indefinite aggregate and say for
the unfortunate-"These are our noble dead"
Let them lie as humbly in the soil as they
had lived upon it, and when we pass their
graves speak this highest praise "fhey were
