contaius the following important information, in.~
dcating that the which the brave people Of
Circnssa have for 50 long q period waged against

sitons on the Black Sea, and re.occupicd in great
force those the Laba and the kuban. which
they had never abandoned. Free from other pro-
OCCUPATIONS, it would appear that they again di-
rectcd their attention to the Caucasus, and once
more strained every nerve to conquer this long
coveted region"
