Tchernayeff himself was go elated bv his
exploit that in q letter to friend at Vyad-
ks he represented Taehkent as the gate of
India, and place from which the Russian
eagle would be sure to swOOp down upon
the richer countries further south. His at

GUS bird was, however, unsuccessful. He
certainly penetrated beyond Chodshend,
but ventuIing still further in the direction
Of Sarmacand, was surprised by the Box
hara troope, and, befare he could range his
infantry, utterly routed. The engagement
proved that if the Tartar cavalry can get
at the Russian infantry before they have
time to open regular fire. the infantry
have hardly chance; while, on the other
hand, if the cavalry can be fired at from
sufficient distance to allow several dis
charges, they are scattered to the winds,
and leave their own infantry to be cut to
pieces. AS to the Russian cavalry engaging
the Tartar cavalry in a hand to hand en-
counter, the thing has been hardly at
tempted, and when it has, mostly has re-
suited in the discontinue Of the Russians.
General Tcbernayetf's experience OF the
relative qualities of the Russian and Tartar
/ troops was dearly bought. His defeat IN
duced his recall. In March, 1866, month
after his return to Tehinas, he was super
seeded BY General Romanovski. A sepsi-
tive man, he keenly telt the check he had
received, and retired from active service.
year later he re-entered the service, de-
voting his administrative knowledge to the
staff office; but in 1875 he again LETT for rea-
cons unknown. He subseq uently became
the editor of the Rushi 4Mir, the Sclavophil
organ of St. Petersburg, and by his bold
and well-written articles speedily attracted
general attention. Straight from the edi-
tor:al office he went out to take direction of

of uncommon talent. though whether his

civilized Turk remains to be SEEM

Carpet.bag Rule.

The Kansas City Journal Of Commerce
prints a statement. compiled from the CEN
sus tor 1860 and 1870 giving the white pop
ulatIOu of the Southern States DO n outside
of their limits. This statement-from Off
cial sources-shows how foolish is the talk
we hear of carpet bag rule in the recon
strncted States. For instance, there were
5000 Waite people in Alabama in 1860 who
were born outside Of her limits. Ia 1870
there were only 5096. an increase of
only sizty,six. In Louisiana there
were, in 1850, li,l93 white people
born outside of the State. In 1870
there were only 10 ,J33, decrease of
$500. In South Carolina the'white foreign
born population was 222St. In 1870 ]. was
crease from 1860 to 1870, of foreign born
whites. was 3474. In the nine cotton States
the white population born outside of these
States was 20. Cos. In 1870 it was 69,2l6, a
decrease of $40. In Arkansas there was
an increase of foreign born population of
4l49, and in Florida an increase of l006 In
Mississippi there was an increase of 7S5,
aud in North Carolina an increase of 405.
Tnese figures are official, and they thor
oughly explode the theory that the South
has been Overrun aud trodden under foot
by carpet baggers."
In Missouri there was in 1860 white
population of 1926, born outside of the
State. In 1870 there was q foreign born
white population in this State of 325 263, an
increase of III ,97S. In Delaware, Kensucky,
Maryland. Missouri, Virginia and West
Virginia there was an increase of foreign
born white population in the ten years IN.
dicated amounting to l99,996 souls. In
these latter States we have heard nothing
OF carpet bag rule. 1t would seem that the
real trouble with the cotton States is not
that they are overrun by carpet baggers,
but that they are not attracting to their
borders that tide of immigration which is
developing the West and the border States
1t would seem that wisdom would dictate
somewhat different policy for the future
Let us hope that wisdom may be permitted
to her good work, and that the fairest por-
ton OF our domain may no longer lie failow
because the labOrers are few.-St. Louis
