Inc suD)oineu arucie, Whtcn VIC cup
from the Baltimore San. gives a concise
history Of the doings Of Russia in Asia.
The progress Of tho Khivain expedition
has long engaged the attention Of the
intelligen. people Of other countries, and
we reprint the following for the benefit Of
those Of our readers who may not have
kept up with the reports in the daily
papers from the scene Of the war.
Russia N rug EAsr.-Thc fall Of
Khiva is at length consumma,cd, and
while the work Of the Russian expedition
may not be entirely finished. the objective
Of the invading forces has been reached.
aud the dcfintive results Of the campaign
can scarcely be far Off The object cf
Russia in this expedition into Central
Asia was, as declared BY the Russian
government, to "consolda,c in that part
Of Asia the legitimate influence which
belonged to Russia. and guarantee Of
peace which she alone was called upon
to maintain" The practical result Of
such a contamination would Of course be

other things. having in their li,'lc wars
with Russia captured and held Russian
subjects in slavery, and moles,ed aud
plundered their caravans in peace. But
paramount was the fact that the power
OF the Khan stood in the way Of Russian
progress in the East. Though it was a
desert, hot: barren. rrof'less territory
to occupy, il formed golden avenue to
tho eyes Of the progressive Car, and
the practical results nigh, instantly be
realized bu, for the film Of international
trouble which for the present, though
ostensibly disavowed, obstructs the vision
A correspondent, describing the march
Of the Russian army, which commenced
its journey in March last, under General
Kaufman, says:
The country through which they
passed was very interesting: even the

Of granite. looked somber and dea,h.like.
After wandering through the barren step
