TIE TURKISH TROUBLES.

The clouds which we have before spoken
Of as gathering 10 the East seem about to
break in a war between the Christian and
the Moslem, to end in the final expulsion
Of the latter from his long foot hold in Eu-
rope. The rebellion Of the Christian pro-
yibces Of the Turkish Empire no doubt has
exasperated the Moslem mind and srenzied
again that religious fanaticism whicL has
been kept under restraint only by fear.
The fires of insurrection blaze everywhere
against Turkish rule, and the Porte has
made every exerticn to extinguish them.
The great powers Of Europe. jealous Of each
other, and all covetous of the possession Of
COnstantinople. have aided the Porte rath,
er than the insurgents and but for the mad.
ness Of the Turks. these rebellions might
have gone on, and possibly have been sup
pressed. But an event has just occurred
which will probably destroy this neutrali-
ty, and bring down upon Turkey the wrath
Of combined Europe. n l !

The very large numbers Of youth in this

the choice Of Senatorial candidate on the
part Of Orange for this district. the ;ontes-
tants being Maj. j. W. Graham, aud G.
L. Parish. Esq. Three ballots were bad.
each gentleman receiving forty. votes. AT
the close Of the third ballot. Mr. Parish.
WITH rare magnanimisy rose, and..psremptO-
rily withdrew bis name. and then Maj. Gra-
ban was unanimously nominated.
For the House three or four ballots we're
had, votes being freely divided among diff
ferent gentlemen finally settling upon G.
L. Parish and John Knox Hughes.
With this ticket The whole county will
be perfectly satisfied and will go % work
earnestly TO elect il. There may be disaP-
pointments. but there are no heartburn
ings, and there is no room or pretexts LEFT
