The situation in Eastern Europe is
becoming more warlike and threatetl-
ing. 1t Is confirmed that the ultimn-
tum of Turkey has been decisively re-
iected at Athens, and both Turkey and
Greece are preparing for a great war
The SULTAN is resolved to enforce his
demands that Turkish vessels may
overhaul-the Greek to see whether they
carry supplies for the insurgents o
Crete; the Creeks long for hasteuing
the crisis on the Eastern question. The
Turks have dispatched four frigates to,
the Archipelago; the Greeks are mobil-
izing the whole militia, talk of offering
a command to GaribAldi, and threaten
an Immediate invasion of Epirus. one
of the southern provinces of Turkey!
War has not yet been formally declared,
but hostilities have already been com.
menced. An encounter has taken place
between the Greek vessel ErOsis and a
Tnrkish man-of.waT, and has resulted
in the flight of the former. The Turk
ish- Admiral had followed her TO the
port OF Syria, where she sought refuge,
and according TO our reports, which,
however, need .veritication, had sunk
her.
The Great Powers look with consid-.
cradle alarm at the development which
the difficulties between Turkey and
Greece are assuming. They all know

comes TO endanger the integrity OF the
Turkish Empire, 1T is likely at once, to
expand intosa European. war, and q
war of such Dimensions Is at present
not desired by any of the Great Powers.
They are, therefore, as the lfoniteHr
says. anxious to shorten the duration
OF The war which seems 10 be imminent,
and to narrow its limits. But while the
Great Powers are cautious and reserv-
ed, little Greece is fall of enthusiasm,
and eagerly rushing into the war,
which, II not suppressed in the Begin
ming, must be OF momentous conse-
qusnces. The people of Servia, Bulga-
ria, Montenegro, and especially the Rd-
venturous Prince Charles OF Doumania,
are watching with the intensest interest
for good opportunity TO raise the
standard OF revolt. and make common
cause with the Greeks for the expulsion
of the Turks from Europe.-Nelo York

Gen. VIM. H. Powell. of Mason.
Editors LnteHi1enccr
Several communications have recent
ly appeared in your paper calling the
attention of our Legislators and of the
public, to the names OF different gentle
men as likely TO he put in nomination
as candidates TO succeed Mr.; Van
Wrinkle in the Senate of the United
States. 1t In noticeable circumstance,
IA connected with these communica-
tiona, that the gentlemen referred TO are
ALI residents OF the northern part oil Inc
State. This seCtiOnalism is no dount
Undersigned, and probably unnotlced,
but at the same lime IL eNlStS IN THESE
communications.
In view OF the fact that Mr.. Wiley is
also II resident of the northern part,
WouIu Il not be we'll II his colleague
could DO selected from the opposite SEQ.
ton OF the State. Otherwise II may be
construed into the reelection that suit
able persons to represent the State can
be found only in the northern counties.
or course such an idea does not exist
and no doubt the Legislature will do
Justice 10 tho respective quarters of the
State.
Among tho eminent citizens of the
south western part OF our State Gen.
VIM. Ii. Powell may be mentioned as
possessing the high qualities proper for
one sitting in the Senate of the United
States, and as having done the State
such service as to entitle him to that
distinction.
1.-The will permit his name TO he used
rs n candidate and 1t should be the
pleasure of the Legislature to elect him
TO the Senate OF the United States. II
may be confidently predicted that he
will display zeal and ability which
will cause the influence OF our State
TO be felt in that august body.

by our Panama mail we learn that
the Hon. Caleb Gushing had arrived by
the steamship Arizona, as a special
commissioner from the United States
to Bogota. Gen. Cushing's mission Is
one OF such urgent importance that
Consul Rice immediately forwarded
him to CarthagenR on the u. s. steamer
of-war Yantic, which was at Aspin-
wall at the time, SO that no delay might
occur in reaching his destination
There is no doubt that the object of Mr..
CushinS's mission is In reference TO the
much talked OF Isthmus Canal, but be-
hind that there must be something
more important than the mere obtain
ing grant for the purpose of under
taking this work. 1t is probable that
the Canal Company does not feel dis
posed to spend hundreds OF millions OF
dollars in building II canal through the
Isthmus on mere charter from the
Government at Bogota, and the Score.
tary OF State may have sent Mr.. Cush-
ing out to ascertain what the prospect
is OF the General Government OF the
United States OF Columbia being able
