A special Cable dispatch to The TRIBUNE
gives US again important news of the progress
of the serious complications between Turkey
and Russia. The Turkish Government having
refused to accede TO the demands of Russia for
q cession of Crete to Greece. and for the
equality of the Christians, the Russian Embas-
sador went to the Crimea, where the Emperor
is staying, to obtain fresh instructions. Igna-
tieff has now returned and declared that his
Government insists on the demands formerly
made. Turkey, on her part, persists in her re-
fusal. Thus the aspect of the Eastern question
is fully as warlike as before. and continues to
indicate the imminence OF an Eastern war.

New-York tribune., 1867-09-28

We notice that a Connecticut agricultural
society has been urged by tcmpcrance-loying
citizens to forbid the sale of intoxicating liquor
within its grounds at the approaching fair. The
fact that last wear rum-selling was admitted,
and was one of the features of the occasion, is
so damaging to the Association that no reput-
able citizen should aid or cOuntenance this
years exhibition unless the management is in
this particular radically changed. Instituting n
fair for mutual Improvement, and then putting
the whisky bottle before the sons and daugh-
ters of the county is mild but eiiectual serv-
ing of the devil uner the pretense of progress
and morality.

Gen. Sheman's recent words to the Indians
were as blunt as theirs, and as slrewd as good.
He could not help displeasng the evil-minded
Turkey foot; for the savage Sioux arc not easy
converts. The General emphasized the fact
that the Great Father or Grandfather desired
his soldiers TO be kind and liberal to the In
dans. He also made them though
the fact itself cannot be very awful to the In
dian mind-that the soldiers of the United
States can come to the Plains in numbers thick
as herd of buffaloes; and that the savages
therefore ought TO be too cautious to butt their
heaoA against the Locomotive. Pawnee- Killers
reply Was unique: "bly Great Grandfather
may nave some mighty good notions in his
head; have some very good ones also"
we commend this speech to Fogies in other
affairs beside those of the Indian.

in the words with which Hamlet takes his
leave Of life-"The rest is Silence"

The Norfolk newspapers register a most re-
markable circumstance No less than twelve
of those heretofore known as persons of color"
in that city are actually turning white in the
most reckless and anti-Scriptural way. No ex-
PLANTATION is given of this unprecedented trans
mogrifcation. Some suppose that by special
Providence the curse of Canaan is to be taken
off. Others think it q pOrtent indicating the
general upsetting of everything. Others trace
in it an occult effect of registration Mean
while, the twelve are growing whittier and
whittier every day; and if it were not that they
remain unchanged as to their hair and gen
eral physiOgnOmy, this dscOOring phenOme-
non might occasion great embarrassment. 10
is, doubtless a comfort TO the former owners of
these dechrOmatized wonders that the bleach
ing did not begin when they were worth fifteen
hundred dollars apiece, for to have found ones
chattel fading into human being would have
been as provoking as if Mr.. Bonner upon going
TO his stable some fine morning should discover
his recent equine purchase metamOrphosed into
n saw horse When the skin was a commodity
OF commerce, fast colors were of consequence:
and we can imagine a poor patriarch retouch-
ing his expectations with black paint brush
before they started for New-Orleans and
market. But now it is of no importance, and
the cmancipatcd may turn blue if they please
with perfect impunity.
There is, however, one consideration k
which we tremble. Suppose, as the blacks are
turning whites, it should be found that the
whites are also turning black! The one
is quite as likely to happen as the other
Fancy the feelings of Mr. Helper as he looks In
the glass of a morning, and sees himself grow
ing dusker and dusker, with the aggravating
assurance that presently some bleached Ethiop
will be writing book about him! How he
would wash himself, and resort to all the patent
soaps and popular skin medicines. There is no
reason why it might not happen Nature, having
tried her prentice hand on the dark, may ex-
pertinent the light next We advise MIR.
Helper to consult his doctor.
New-York tribune., 1867-09-28
MAKING MIST1KES.

Bunders, in public affairs, are usually fatal
to the prospects of those who fall into them.
We have never perused anything of the kind
more pathetic than the letter from IIcrschcl
" johnson TO a Northern friend, which we
recently printed. We refer to 1t now because
such reference is seasonable; because from the
President down to the puniest puppet who
lisps the stale formulas of shallow conserv-
atism, there are men who are making the
Georgians bundcr without his excuse. He en-
gagged in the Rebellion against the feelings of
his heart, the promptings of his conscience,
and the conclusions of his under
standing he walked to certain
and foreseen ruin, az he admits,
because he thought himself bound to follow
the people OF his State even in u career of
crime; and the result has been his political
and material ruin. g find myself" says he,
disfranchised and assigned to position. in
"respect to political and social rights, inferior
"to that of my former slaves" He had "never
Cherished an emotion of hostility to the Con-
"stituton or the Unon;" he "had spent half
"a century in endeavoring to uphold them;'
and yet this old man suffered himself to be
talked, and persuaded and bullied, and coaxed
into the notion that because his fellow citizens
in considerable numbers had bctaken them
selves to treason it was his duty to
turn traitor with them. 1t was a
chivalrOus error, and grievously has Gov
johnson answered it; but ho has still the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that he was swaycd by no
unclean venality, and that he did not lend his
countcnance to the conspiracy for the sake of
personal aggrandizement. From the little gang
of Northern apostates, who have bartered
honor for place, and who have seen in the
preservation of the Government only the con-
tinuation of its patronage, we can turn to the
example of Gov Johnson, and find kind of
relief even in the contemplation of his error.
He at least did not sell himself in the market.
He at least acted under nobor
stimulus than that of greed. He frankly
accepted revolution but he did not prt
on Tue mnciug airs of an artificial
