Correspondence of the New York World.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, July "a, 1860

Since my last letter written two weeks ago,
the prospects of Turkey have grown dark very
rapidly. The state of Syria has gone on from
bad to worse. The letters which we receive
from Beirut are full of tales of blood, almost
too horrible to be repeated. They seem but a
repetition Of the scenes witnessed in the late
Indian rebellion, some of them surprising any
thing seen there.
Mothers have been used as blocks upon
which to chop off the heads of their children;
dying men have been forced to eat their own
flesh; unarmed and unprotected men, women
and children have been murdered in cold
blood by the thousand, often in the presence
of the Turkish troops. More than 10000
Christians are now homeless wanderers without
the means of obtaining their daily bread.
And now we hear that the Mahomedans (not
Druses) of Damascus have risen upon the
Christians, burned the consulates, wounded the
American vice. consul and destroyed the whole
Christian quarter of the city, numbering every
Christian they could lay their hands on; and
the end is not yet. Ny letters from Diarbeker
Aleppo, and other cities of the interior speak
of the immediate prospect of such outbreaks in
those cities, in fact all through Asia Minor
We cannot but hope that these things will mo-
be, and they may yet be averted if Fuad Pash:
succeeds in Immediately quelling the revolt il
Syria. s1 ri bte bg1 dss es.as s.

REMARKS OF JOHN :. CRITTENDEH OF
KENTUCKY, AT LOUISVILLE THURS
DAY EVE, AUG Cd, IN REGARD TO
JUDGE DOUGLAS.

L know MIR. Douglas very well, ladies and
gentlemen. From Mr.. Douglas, personally
should apprehcnd no danger. have never
been Democrat, as you all know. Zap
plause.) A flank, fair opponent of the Demo-
cratic party, have ever been found acting up
on Whig principles, from the. first to the last.
Increased applause). But have known Mr..
Douglas in the public councils, and have acs
ted with him. Although generally opposed,
and especially upon party questions, we have
at times acted together, and particularly upon
one momentious occasion, when we acted to.
gether in opposition to that infamous Lecomp.
ton Constitution. (Deafeping applause). Mr..
Douglas was there making great sacrifice to
his sense of duty. (Applause). He Was sac:
rifcing his connection, on that occasion, with
many old political friends; he was breaking
up the relations of long political life; he
was sacrificing as fattering prospects Tor the.
highest Office in the Government as shy man
in the country had. I fully believe he did
what he conceived TO be his duty; and, LII de-
fance of all opposition, the rack of the Presi-
dent, offended friends, and open foes, he act
ed like man. (Tremendous cheering9 He
might have been mistaken in what he did, bus
that little diminished the value Of the act
He thought he was right, and he knew he was
making sacrifice, aud he was capable Of maxi
ing it, when he believed the interests of his
country demanded it. Cheers. I can have
no quarrel with him; he is Union man.
(Cheers). And Union man / can always
trust, when believe him to be sincere and in
earnest, as believe Douglas to be. (Contin.
ued applause.)
Mr. G. proceeded: / have spoken NOT to
! compliment Mr. Douglas merely; have spo-
