Weekly Summary.

The greatest and most scientifically, and
brAvely fought battle ever fought in Amer
lea, took place between W wings of the two
great armies, now in the field, to do or to
die, at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, on
the 9th and 7th of April, 1852.
Both armies proved themselves stout
hearted, and true soldiers but from all we
can learn, we are unable to say which of the
two contending forces proved the more
heroic. The great and powerful generals
and armies Of Europe, will read with intense
interest, the history of our great battle, and
learn from it that the Anglo Saxon race
have not lost their noble daring in the hour
of danger, but are still the same brave men
in oil lands.
Ofthe number killed and wounded in the
late battle. we cannct give our readers any
account upon which they could rely with GER
tainty but we believe the first report was
near the horrible mark. We think it will
turn out that from fifty to sixty thousand
we're killed and wounded, including both
armies, during the two days fight. We fear
that the greater loss was sustained on our
side but we may be mistaken. Think OF
the dead, wounded and dying, their number,
their sufferings, their groans, their souls,
and then say whether you delight in war
We weep in tears of anguish over the slain,
and mourn over our fallen brothers-sym-
pa.hize with their mothers, wives and chill
dren, and from our heart We say, give peace
in our time, O Lord But alas, alas! we
sec no other prospect before us, than thai
of still greater battles than the one undc'
review, ard greater slaughters on boil
sides. May God interpose - may peac'
come and bless US.
In Congress they are pulling away at tn
Negrorand swelling the taxes. Our ow'
Legislature in Columbus, is just as active a
the Washington rulers, in the work Of blur
der,. Every man who keeps a dog must i
future pay either one or two dollars tax o
the head of the same-it matters not, whetl
er the poor animal may have one leg or foul
you must pay.
Virginia will now be the great battle field
and Yorktown the grave of the slain.

Turkey.

The Turkish Government has
addressed the following despatch
to it's agents at the Courts of the
five great Powers: +,
"The Sublime Porte has obtain
ed authentic data relative to the
deliberations in the Assembly of
the Montenegrins and the chiefs of
the insurgents of the Herzegovina
lately held at Cettigne. The reso
lutions which were adopted by this
revolutionary meeting, considered
in themselves or in the light they
throw on the Vaccinations con-
trived in the rebellious districts,
are sufficiently grave to call for
the serious attention of the Sub
lime Porto. The first act was to
declare the dismissal of Lucas
Vucalovitch as incompetent to d.
rect the instruction. The command
in chief was given to the monk
Nicana de Duzi, who was at once
proclaimed chief of the revolted.
At the same time the chiefs of
Zubzi, Ca~usivitch and Dragovitch,
who were previously placed under
the orders of Vucalovitch, acknowl-
edged as their new Voivode q
Montenegro priest, named Pero
Matenvitcn, and bound themselves,
while adopting the code of Mont
enegrin laws, to govern and to
administer justice comfortably to
those laws, and generally to obey
the Prince. These facts have no
need of comment. 1t is no longer
an indirect corporation, or secret
encouragement ond succor, which
Montenegro gives to the districts
which are now in open revolt
against their legitimate Sovereign.
Montenegro pays and publicly
directs the instruction. The ~e.
peated protests to the Sirdar Ekrem
were meant merely to disguise q
state of things which had been
already suspected. Now, however,
there is no longer any doubt as to
the intentions Of the mountaineers.
The Imperial army which operates
in the Herzegovina, in order to
reduce the rebels to submission
has to combat an enemy openly
supported by people who enjoy
impunity. We hope that this
indescribably scandalous conduct
will, this time, meet with decided
Interpretation from the friendly
Cabinets, and that it will dispense
with our observing the considera'
tion which We have hitherto
shown. London Times.

Battle of Pittsburg Landing, fought in
America on Sunday and Monday, the 9Th
and It'll Of April, 1862, by the Federal
Army Of the North and the Confederate
Army of the South.
This has indeed been a breakfast
spell, and a grand, but awful bat
tie. It is said that we gained on
Monday what we lost on Sunday
but where are the dead! Our
brave men did their best, but that
best has brought a terrible fact to
llght-that is to say, that we are
fighting men who can fight, and
are resolved to do, or die
and as we can fight, and are equal

will the contest come to q close |
