DIFFICULTIES OF RUSSIA IN KHIVA.

A letter from Samarcand in the Goloss says that
80 far from the Russian campaign against Khiva
being at an end 1t has hardly begun. The alleged
victories OF Generals Kaufman and GolovatchelI
over the Turcomans were not, the correspondent
asserts, by any means as complete as the oficial
reports represent them TO have been, and the gov
ernment would probably have as great q dread as
Pyrrhus OF repetition OF such victories. "Not a
single onlcer in the column OF General Colo
vatcner who was himself severely wounded by
two sword cuts in the head and shoulder, returned
from the expedition uninjured. Several OF them,
such as Lieutenant Colonel Esipor, Ensign Ka-
mentsky and others, were literally cut 20 pieces.
That the losses in the ranks must have
been correspondngly great is evident. The Turco-
mans fought with indescribable fury; women
fought by the side Of men In the ranks ana even
surpassed them in reckless courage. Nor did our
army gain much when they entered the towns oil
the Turcomans by putting all the inhabitants TO
the sword while peace was Neing restored In this
broke out IN another. The troops are
compelled to make long and exhaustng marches,
to which the suferngs they had to endure up TO
the capture OF Khiva were mere child's play. Five
thousand camcls have already perished, and the
troops have hardly any means OF transport Tor their
baggage; the officers only are allowed TO take with
them two shirts and q linen naversack.n The cor
respondent concludes from the above facts tina. ~
Will be Impossible ior Russia to establish oruer
permanently in Khiva, or derive any advantaRc
from its conquest, so long as Bokhars Wii,on - 20
tends along the whole oil the eastern Honuci VI
khya, Is not made Russian territory.

When we had seated ourselves after the meal, 8 speci- men of the sefiorita Anastasia's drawing was handed me by the high-stepping and loud-voi ;ed dofia: Picture of a cattle-ranche on the Rio del Espiritu Santo, as seen at night, with Luna in apogee, and spotted cows reclin- ing in the heightened shadows of scattering cottonwood trees. AS looked at the picture, the donya took occasion to remark, in a low voice, inaudible to the per- son alluded to, ''she is very sensi- tive" I understood, and in a few moments thereafter took occa- sion to express, warmly, my ad- miration of so charming work of art.

in reality, the unfavorable bal ance that appears against us ari- ses from the quicker exposure of wrongs and vices.
 But for the newspaper, the mest startling and discreditable facts, affecting men hOnored and trust. ed with high places, would have remained unknown by the public till time had cost the shadow of fOrgelfulness about them; or, till their offspring of greater evils had made them, by comparison, appear insignificant.
 It becomes the newspaper press to regard this great responsibility as a solemn trust Divinely ap- pointed. There is a sense in which all offices are of divine right. The doctrine of "The Di- vine right of Kings'' was debased, inpfactice, by the supplementary proposition "that the king can do no wroHg."
 Let us regard it as a true doc. Urine that under the sovereignty of the Almighty, the newspaper press has the Divine right to do good and to teach truth; but, that it may, nevertheless, do wrong, and that to such an extent it is not Divinely licensed.-AmericGn Newspaper Reporter.

The Newspaper.

It is difficult for the unattentive student of history to estimate the
 influences of former times com- parable to the newspaper in- fuence of the present day. In some respects the priesthood SUD- piled its place; in others an intel ligent class of nohles; and, per haps, in others, the arbitrary fiat Of the king, who knew, or as- sumed 10 know, the needs of the realm better than his ignorant subjects.
 It is safe to say that it would be impossible to maintain a re- public in our country without the newspaper which reflects as in a mirror the acts of our public men.
 However much abused by parti. sanship, information by this means inevitably reaches the people, whose judgments are ulti- mately influenced by the true in- stead of the false editorial deduc- tions from the facts. If the news. paper press generally favored monarchical institutions instead of a Republic, it cannot be doubt ed that the revolution from the one to the other would be accom- plished in a very few years; but, so long as the ostensible purpose is to maintain a republic, and considerable portion of the news paper press persists in honest. criticism of public measures, public men who may insidious facts calculated to undermine our republican in- will be detected thro' the press ard punished through the ballOt-boX.
 The responsibility of the news paper as the guardian of religious also as the teacher of 1 public and private, and the expOser of vice and it's prac- tices, warrants the title which wej have given it as one of the gov erning powers. The tendency to !! and charity among reli- gious sects is due to the prOviden- tial instrumental y of the news paper.
 Public morals may, at times, 1 appear to be in a very low state, l md we are apt to feel discouraged 'n comparison with the past; but, ]

 in operation at Guaymas, and has a respectable number of students from among the children of the gente refinada. A pensive Maid of Monterey, with eyes large and lustrous, panier, ''rats" and Switch" coquetish, was my vis-a-vis at table upon the occa- sion of a cumple-ado dinner given by the proprietress of the burritos I saw staggering around the streets under leather water-sacks. The weather having been unu- sually warm, and two vessels having arrived from Hamburg, fresh water had been somewhat scarce, and this dOfia had gath cred in quite a little sack of peso tillas, and of course what better use could she put them to than to feast her friends while the desti- ute swarmed past the portals of her mansion, which were thrown open and sentinel stationed, that the rabble might whet their ap- petites and cry out for crumbs, which tis the custom down there for the mistress 10 order given in a loud voice that all may hear and praise her therefor. Nothing could exceed the lofty self-satisfac- tion with which this dona related to the board her many acts of charity, nor the serene compla- cency with which, having fin ished their recital, her pitying glance fell upon the worms feed ing beneath her gaze.
 A conversation sprung up be- tween the Maid and this galley slave, in Spanish, during which she informed me that she could "peak Ingalishe," but I soon found that although she had been three years a student of "Inga- lische" in California, her vo:abu- lary in that "horrid idiom" was limited to "I tank you!" "goo' taftahnoene, "9f-fine-ea-fen- ing," wiss-pIesh-yoe." The doda interrupted just then, with a remark tinged with asperity, that while Anastasia could not at present converse correctly in English, she having been three months away from Gringoland, yet could she "dibuja divina.

Serious Accident on the Baltimore and

Cars
CUMBERLAND, Nd. July q, 1873
Early this morning Engineer Conway, OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lost control Of his
CINE on the down grade, two miles east OF Alta
mont and forty-hve miles west OF here, when
theu engine ran away, and while run
