received from Gambia on the 18th was of Q
contradictory character, and the successes
obtained by the Turks were apparently
unimportant. The eastern portion of the
island was occupied BY the insurgents, anS
the western portion by the Turks, who NUM-
Lbered 10000 men. The Turkish blockade
VAS strengthened, and Greek brig. bring.
ing war material for the Crstans, had been
captured. Other vessels belonging to the
insurgents, which refused to surrender
were sunk by the Turkish gunbbats and
their crew drowned. A Russian war frigars
from the Ptseus was expected in CandiaH
waters. Rumors were current that the
Sultan was dissatisfied with the slow pro,
gress made BY the Turkish authorities ia
the pacifcatisn Of Gambia. and that he had
dispatched several aides.ds- camp to the
island 10 learn the real state OF affairs.
A later dispatch says:
Tie towa of Condano, in Gambia. has
bsea evacuated by the Turks. Ten thons.
and Turkish troops returning TO Canea were
alta, ked on the 3D. and 4th instant by A.
600 CHRISTIANS, and pursued to within thre,

A little business in the Court. house led
me 70 inquire into the financial conditions
lof this portion of the country. and learn
that sherifs sales are becoming SO common
that almost no purchasers are found for the
valuable ands and other property exposed
TOR sale. A gentleman Informed me that
some twenty farmers had been sold out
lately, their lands bringing less than one
dollar per acre. "A sad instance of the re.
verse Of fortune pro,Tuced blythe war was
mentioned in the case oi OLD Mr.. Prowe,t.
OF this s3county, whose estate was sold out
on the FIRST Monday id this month At the
breaking out Of the war he was the weslth.
lest citizen in Tuscaloosa county. He
swnedathree hundred and sixty slaves and
large tracts Of land. He had large sums ,of
money out at interest. secured by mortgage
on nagro property and land. He was :
homespun, economical countrym4n. who
bought everything at the lowest price for
cash. He paid the physicians bill before
the doctor left the house. When General
Croxton came to Tuscaloosa he took from
this old man snme forty head Of horses and
mules, all his money provisions, &C.. which
was his FIRST calamity. Next came eman.
cipation. which swept his slave property.
Next came the breaking up Of ali the mes
to whom Prowett had loaned money or foo
whom he stood security. Finally an exec
cution was levied on his property for 4 few
thousand dollars, and all his real estate was
sold under the sheriff's hammer for sir
hundred dollars"
