(which they have shown in all past history, and
which belonged 70 them as great conquerlng
racel held millions Of Europeans IN subsection
with only few hundred thou.and Turks.
Though they have been in Europe for centu-
ries, they have always been merely encamped
there. No goodwill or interest, or useful works
that tbBy have done, or civilization that they
have upheld, bind them there. They will with
draw their lev troops at length (if withdraw
they must) with the curses and hate of the
various races they have ground down aud tram
pied upon.
The country on the Danube has now in effect
revolted against the Turkish Empire. VIII
Turkey suppress the revolt, or will she submit
10 the new Government and the young Prince
suddenly crowned in this dramatic msnnery
viii Austria endure an independent and new
power at the mouth of her great rlver? VIII
Russia allow new obstacle to be placed between
her ambition and ConstantinopeY Finally,
what will assembled Europe say TO this new
violation OF the compacts of 1857 The fact,
too, of a Prussian prince thus suddenly put in
power, in the rear of Austria, adds another ele-
ment OF anxiety to the problem.
The sympathy of Europe is undoubtedly with
the gallant young adVenturer who has so sud
denly leaped into the arena and borne oil tie
prize in the midst OF most formidable rivals.
And the very power of his antagonists is the
safeguard OF the bold knighterrant. The first
Iumor was that Turkey was about to march an
overwhelming army into the Principalities, and
take possession.
But this, again, is met by the counter rumor
that Russia and France protest against such
occupation. again, if Russia invade, not only
Turkey but Austria must oppose, as well as
England and France, for fear OF that powers
gaining too,hcld so nearl to Constantinople.
Or il Austria should occupy the coveted pro-
noes, she would not only have to fight lhe
people (who are bitterly opposed to herr, but,
in all probability, would lind herself in antago
nism with Russia.
And therein lies the improbability of her &C.
cepting the prncipalties as an Offset to the loss
of Venetia, suprosing such proposition should
be made by the Conference of Paris, which. we
do NOT believe. The strength of Prince Charles
lies in the contests of his rivals.
The one result clear is that Turkey must in
effect abandon Europe. No intelligent person
in any country desires to see her corrupt rule
and effete civil zatlon longer in Eastern Europe.
The easiest settlement tor all the great powers
is TO leave the young Prince on his well-won
throne Then no one encroaching power will
hold the mouth of the Danube or the road to
Constantinople. The principalities may unite
other neghboring provinces with them. and a
Greek Christian kingdom at length be formed
on the Danube.
Still, this tempting prize lies close to these
great military powers, and in a general Euro
pean war might easily be swallowed up by any
ore of them. Or its attractions alone may en-
kindle the passions of some OF the combatants,
and the great war begin there. We shall watch
the same with interest

The Richmond Wing thus explains the action
of the Virginia Convention in April, 186l:-
''KDowlng the call of Mr. Lincoln for troops to
be utterly without authority of law, the state of
lginia did not hesitate to refuse II and knowing
it to be volatve OF the Constitution and su1verslye
OF the system of government, she did not hesitate
to resist. She was party to the Union only under
and through the Constitution. Not so, says the
Tribune; and wnen the instrument was thrown
aside by the Government she REGARDED herself, pSo
Jacto, discharged from all further obligation. The
necessary formallty. The unwarranted act of the
+ deral Government broke the bond OF Union, and
she stood released What was her fault in thatr
The equally unwarranted act OF the Federal Gov
ernment IN sending hostile army TO invade her

Ans1oer.-The Virginia Convention was abomi-
nably wrong in not recognizing the right OF the
nation to exist. That right inheres in the very
nature OF Government, and no special charter
or permit is essential to its exercise. South
Carolina had said, months before, II will de-
stroy the Union, no matter though every
other State should protest; for win secede al
Union being dissolved by one State-the others
can have no choice but as to which fraction they
will belong to- Virginia, in full view OF this
action OF South Carolina, elected, by great
Union. That Convention was bulled into be-
tiaying its trust; and then her people were
told-"You may vote on the question of
Union or Secession; but if you veto for
Union, you vote to betray your Southern
brethren, who have come here, at the invi.
tation OF your authorities, 10 protect and
defend you." "If you vote for the Union and
are overruled, you must leave the State" said
Senator James NJ. Mason. LET us all stand to-
gether,n said Alexander II. II. Stuart, land then
we can make terms between the belligerents." !"
(We give the idea, not the words.) Thus the
people OF Virginia were swindled into voting
secession by decelving assurances and mislead-
ing issues. On a fair, square issue and hear.
ing OF both sides, she would never have voted
herself out OF the Union. We have heard that
the Wig was bought over to the side of Dis
union, but are not sure as to that. We know,
how ever that the secession of Virginia was the
product of violence and fraud-of deception and
terrorism. 1t has been terrible lesson. II her

Expulsion of Turkey from Europe.

From the Times.
It has long been asserted in histories OF Tur-
key that prophecy was preserved by the
reigning family to the effect that alter certain
number of centuries the Turks would be driven
from Europe; that in view Of this event, for
some considerable time, an especial sum OF
money was laid aside in the royal treasury.
Whether the money still exists among the Sui
tan's boards may be doubted, but the prophecy
seems at length about being accomplished in
this year, destined to be so full of events.
1t will be remembered that the two Princi-
pallties at the mouth of the Danube have been
long under the protectorate OF Turkey, each
having separate Prince or Hospodar; though
contrary to the stipulations OF 1915, the people
at length united the two provinces under one
Hospodar Prince CouZa. Finally becoming
dissatisfied with him, they deposed him, and
during this spring have offered now crown
say as large as New York State-to son of
Leopold OF Belgium. He declined 1t, and then
it was tor some mysterious reasons offered 70 a
Prince allied with the reigning house of
Prussia-Chares, of the famous royal family OF
Hohenzohern young man OF twenty and
over, but person OF much spirit and enter
prise.
He accepted it at once, crossed Germany in
disguise, with only carpetpag In hand, went
Bucharest, and was crowned Prince OF the Prln-
cipalites with great reioicings. This action OF

PIANIST IN A DUEL.-AH letter from st.
between Joseph Braga, pianist, and Russian
cavalry officer. The latter declared at a court
concert that the planlst's attack upon his sonata
was so fierce that, had it been made with sabre
instead of the fingers, the instrument would have
been hacked to pieces. The pianist challenged
the officer, accepting the weapon chosen by the
latter-the curved cavalry sabre-although en-
tirely ignorant OF its use. He made, however,
such a terrific onslaught upon his adversary
that he actually split his skull in two,

Among the amusing army stories is one Of
green young cadet from Arkansas, who passed
through avariety of adventures in getting TO
West Point, and finally arrived tn ere. What fol-
lowed our readers shall see:-
THE ARKANSAS CADET. f.., .
Now his letter OF appointment required him
to report in person to the superintendent, Colo
mel Tbayer, who was very refined, courteous,
and digni6ed gentleman, but, at the same time,
he was exceedingly rigid in enforcing the strictest
discipline, and the highest respect for rank and
military authority. Ny young friend, alter
situated, shouIdered his trunk Che was then
about six feet high, and powerfully developed),
and staggered under its weight up the steep hill
to the Super1ntendenps house, put down his
trunk upon the steps, and was at once admitted
into the Coloners presence.
Unlike most of the cadets on their first intro
duction TO this dignitary, he was not in the
slightest degree abashed, but felt entirely self
possessed, and, taking chair close to the
Colonel, and looking him attentvely in the face,
said, "Ole man, ar you Colonel, or Captain, OF
whatever.y you-call.um TbayerW To which the
old gentleman very gravely replied, 81 am
Colonel Thayer, sir.r 'fWalf, now, look.a we're,

The Colonel soon comprehended what kind of
specimen OF humanity he had before him, and
directed his orderly TO show him to the barracks,
where he was soon Inducted into the mysteries
of wholesome discipline. .r
As il may be q matter of curiosity with some
to know what success this untutored youth OF
the forest met with in his academical career
add, tor their information, that he applied him
self industriously 10 his studies, attained good
standing In his class, and, on graduating, was
an accomplished gentleman and scholar.

We have seldom been more pleased with any
hight work than with "Pietures of Country
Liie.' 1t is written in genial, pleasant style,
and abounds 10 little sketches drawn from rural
life, and depicts. society as it exists far from
our great commercial centres. Every story is
interesting, and just of the proper length. If
Mrs. Carey will give us few more works OF
similar excellence, she will make permanent
reputation. There is resemblance about few
of these sketches which make them appear
almost the same, but the fow Of plot aud
pleasantly soon browns all critical oensure. The
work is beautifully printed in the best style OF

The third and last OF this entertaining series
OF novels, published by our enterprising neigh
bors, lies before US. 1t is fiction of singular
power, written with force, and gives fine op-
portunity for the display of an iron style OF lite
nature. 1t depicts an old maid on the do wn.
ward path of life. We do not know the
authoress, but judge that she must be either
an old maid herself, or else she possesses a SID
gular power of depicting the sentiments and
actions of others. 1t will have an extensive
sale, because of the interest with which it
abounds.

III Ishall conclude this paper with a
word or two OF serious advice to all my
readers of all sorts aud sexes. Nature
may be helped and improved, but will
not be forced or changed. Allattenpts
in direct opposition to her, are attended
with ridicule; many with guilt. The
women To whom nature has denied
beauty, in vain endeavors to make it
by ART, as the man to whom nature has
denied wit, becomes ridiculous by the
affectation of it; they both defeat their
own purposes, and are in the case of
the VuIetddinarian, who creates or in
creases his distempers by his remedies,
and dies of his iinmoderate desire to
live.
