TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The evident determination of Russia to
test the power and strength of the Sick
man of the East is apparent from the
immense military and naval preparations
now making to that end. The action of
the Gastein conference, which was held
in reference to this Eastern question
shows that the growing power of Russia
creates not little uneasiness in Europe,
and it is said that more was really said
and done at that meeting of the east
ern European powers about this mat
ter than the public has yet been given
to understand. The action of Russia re-
lative to the treaty Of 1856, and her utter
Indifference respecting the influence Of
the powers that caused her defeat in the
Crimean war shows an intention on her
part to renew the struggle at the earliest
opportunity. To this end, also, there are
strond indications of q private under
standing between Germany and Russia
that may pave the way for serious COM
plications among the continental powers
in connection with the renewal of this
strife. The order to substitute the study
of German for that of French in all the
Russian schools, the warmth of the Rus
sian diplomatic relations with Berlin, tie
incessAnt military activity to which allu-
sion has already been made, all imply
propitration of the great German power,
and readiness to avail of any opportu-
nifty to put in execution a long cherished
scheme.
The humiliation of France, one of the
Crimean allies. and the apparent disin-
clination Of England to take part in any
future struggle in which she can have no
very great interest, and the Precipitation
of the only power that would be able to
oppose Russia, make it favorable time
for the prosecution Of Russia's ambitious
designs on Constantinople and her SUI
premacy in the Levant. Hostilities may
be long deferred, but can not be perma-
nently averted; the geographical and
political elements unite with chronological
ones to make the Russian movement to-
ward the Golden Horn all but inevitable.
In view of all these preparations and in
tentions on the part Of Russia, Turkey
has not been idle, and will not be unpre-
pared to meet the onslaught Though
the former has large armies and formid-
able navy, the latter is in better con-
dition than ever before to resist the attack
which will assuredly ere long be made.
All the branches of the Turkish army
have been organized after the European
model, under the supervision of French
and German instructors. According to
the statute now in force, which was sane
toned by the sultan in 1869, the term of
military service in the line (rugam) has
been reduced from five to four years, in the
first reserve (idatayaD to two years, in the
second reserve (redif) to six years, and in
the landsturm (higade) to eight years,
making the total period Of service twenty
years.

bennett has retired from the editorial
field. and " hope he feels easier on &C.
count Of his escape from harness that did
not fit him. The Planters Banner is now
conducted by new firm, and the first
number shows signs of being an improve
ment on the old concern in some respects.
1t lacks the unreasonable prejudice which
bennett always manifested in his remarks
upon political subjects, and does not
represent matters to be in that woful state
Of dilapidation which bennett always
pictured of the State, and which was
really as untruthful as it was injurious to
the community. Louisiana is laboring
under many evils, social and political, but
she can not cure these distempers by
nursing and making much of them.
The Planters Banner has an ex-
tensive influence, and this power
should be exerted to make the
people better and more cheerful, instead
of being employed to teach them that all
their efforts at reform would necessarily
result in failure. The duty of the press
to-day is to preach hope to the people,
and to instruct them how to govern the
country. The time for bitterness is past,
the day for repining has gone by, and the
hour for better anticipations is at hand.
If the Planters Banner will enter upon a
new line of thought, casting the past be-
hind it and taking hold upon the future,
rebuking bad men and bad measures
where they are plainly and specifically
bad, invoking confidence, denouncing
outrage and disorder, it will recover all
the fame which it has lost, and be as USE
full and popular as it was before its
founder departed from the ways of his
q usefulness in vain attempt to be Dem
ocrat. We look for good things, here
after, from the Banner

A PREC1PITATE LETTER.

Senator Blackman has written letter
to the public which there was no urgent
demand for. His friends and the country
might have subsisted in patience if the
gentleman from Claiborne had continued
to hold his peace for five or ten minutes
longer. The Presidential election does
not come off until next year, and though
some obscuritives are putting their opinions
on file, the real great men of the country
are holding back with great ease. The
tenor Of Mr.. Blackman's address may be
described as antagonistic to the selec-
ton of Governor Warmoth as the Dem
ocratic leader in 1872, which is sugges-
ton that nothing but an over sensitive
ambition on the part of the Senator him
self could have been coaxed to invent.
The Democracy is thinking more about
the cypress and the willow than about
the myrtle and the eglantine at
present, and its eyes are set
on srpernal rest rather than on politi-
cal triumphs hereafter. Our informa-
ton leads US to the conclusion that the
Democracy will not want any candidates
in 1872, but that it will quietly consent to
stand aside and let the people save the
country in their own way. If this is
correct forecaste Of what is about to take
place, Senator Blackman has agitated
himself in vain: and, even if it is not,
Governor Warmoth is not the man the
intense and harmonious Democracy would
be likely to accept as its leader, since in
order to commit such an act of wisdom it
would have to forget all of its rowdyism
and half of its political dogmas. Sen
ator Blackman can nurse his ambition
without being at all anxious as to the de-
signs or desires of Governor Warmoth
upon the genuine Democracy.

bsFs Of ~. 900 men, The statute, alst
provides for. the increase Of the army b
certain emergencies; thus, in the event
Of internal disturbances, it, numbers may
be raised to 22O, 600; in case Of attack BY
. single power to 400, 900 (25O, 600 in Eu'
rope and $50. 900 in Asia; and if several
powers make war on the Porte, the total
force under arms may be increased te
zoo, 600 men. The Turkish navy consists
of nineteen ironclad and eighty -four
wooden ships. The ironclads are armed
with 12S big guns. There are about
10000 sailors and 5000 marines. at=
A comparison of the Russian and
Turkish navies shows that in the latter
there are actually more guns than in the
former, and this, in connection with the
circumstance that Russia has q far more
extended coast line to defend than Tur-
key, as well as q much more extensive
mercantile marine tc care for, the point
becomes important. Russia, it is true,
has more ships and more seamen, but
many Of her ships are old, while most Of
the Turkish feet is new, attributable
mostly to the heavy loss at Sinope in 1853.
It is further stated that some of the
Turkish ships are of immense force, the
Ozman Ghazy, one Of the number, being
both larger and more powerful than any
ship of the Russian navy. The engineers
of the Turkish ships, and some Of the
officers, are from Western Europe, and
are carefully picked men. Since the dis
cussion of the probabilities of q war be-
tween these two countries, Hobart Pasha,
well known Turkish admiral of the
Turkish service, has made the following
important declaration:
1t has been said that if the Turkish navy
il able to repel any attack from Russia ON
the Black sea, the peace of Europe may re-
main undisturbed on the Eastern question.
venture to assure you that the Turkish
ment, to repel any attack from Russia on
the Black seq, and firmly believe will be
able to do 80. N +, = j
Thus it will be seen that in the event Of
Russia proceeding to extremities with
what she considers is her weak neighbor,
it may be found that Turkey will be able
to maintain q much more determined re-
sistance than has been suspected. How
ever that may be, it is certain that Turkey
will not be left entirely alone in the con-
fict, but other powers of Europe will
come forward to render such assistance as
may be necessary to check the ambitious
and aggrandizing aggressions Of the Co.'S
sack invader.
