The Cross aud the Crescent.

The American people are distant, yet
most deeply-interested spectators OF the
desperate struggle now in progress, he
tween the Muscovte and the Turk. The
vast array of forces on either side, the
character of the combatan,s, the reient-
less, obstinate courage Of the Russian,
the, fanatic val6r Of the 'rdrk, the com.
ALLEGATION of interesis- y hich seem destined
to involve all Europe in the strife, and the
effect which such a war is likely to have
upon the agricultural and Industrial pur>
suits of this country. are points which
give TO this contest a deep and absorbing
interest. ....
And yet, it is fact that the mass Of
Americans are almost whohw without
any definite knowledge of the regions
most directly and primarily concerned in
this war. To most readers of our news,
papers, the news from the seat of war is
in large degree unirtelligible, from lack
Of information as 10 those people and
countries. Moreover, the demand for
this information has developed the fact
that there is not extant any book giving
what is wanted in reliable and popular
form.
We are glad. therefore, to receive from
the well-known publishing firm OF Hub
bard Bros. advance sheets Of a forth.
coming volume, entitled "The Cross and
the Crescent; or Russia and Turkey and
the Countries Adjacent" II is from the
pen of the well-known historian, DR.. L.
P. Brockett. and gives a full and complete
description OF the countries bordering on
the Black Sea. the Danube. the Eu6hrates
and the Tigris; including their extent,
physical and political geography; their
history, with all its varied and thrilling
incidents the religion, customs, habits,
manners and character OF each nationals
ty; their military, naval and financial
resources; the causes and influences
which led to this and former wars, and
full and clear explanation, of the compli-
cations which are driving the nations of
Western Europe into participation in it;
the massacrees in Bulgaria; the Oppres>
sion and cruelty which have goaded other
Provinces and tributary States into insu-
rection, and the despotic sway Of the
Russian Government. all depicted with
great vividncss and force. 1T. aiso con-
tains biographical sketches Of all the
prominent actors in the war now in pro-
gress, monarchs. rulers. Statesmen, and
generals, with portraits Of many Of them.
Aside from its relation to passing events,
this Is a most valuable and richly inter-
esting volume. The brilliant, bloody aud
eventful history Of these nations, the
character Of their governments, the pc
culiarities Of the people, their religious
beliefs. their social customs. habits and
manners Of life, present subject full Of
Lovelty and instruction, and treated by
so able and brilliant an author as Dr..
Brockett, would at any time attract wide
attention; but coming as it does, in re-
spouse to an urgent demand for Just the
information here given, it will everywhere
meet with an eager reception, aud prove
to be of the most important publication
of the year.

official duties TO participate on an
occasion OF this sort, however gratifying
the honor might have been, but the invi-
tation Of the Winnebago agricultural
society carried with it such weight that it
imposed on me an obligation which l
could not neglect. It was this society, a
year ago, before the political spirit which
has now 80 happily subsided, that was
among the first to inaugurate that spirit
Of reconciliation which is now spreading
with such wholesome force over our land,

Convention Of American Banlters

New York, September 13.-The Amer.
lean Bankers Convention continued its
session to-day with a very full attendance.
Chas. P. Hall and E. s. Vanbonhurst
offered a resolution, setting forth that
the Convention pledge itself to aid the
government in resuming specie payments,
but that it was not advisable for. their
body TO put forth any plan for resump.
tion, as the Secretlry must have already
matured his plan OF action; that com =.
mittee be appointed to confer with the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and use every
idiluence 10 bring about resumption in
1870, and that the tax now levied on
banks ia onerouS and should be repealed.
These resolutions, under the rule, we're
referred TO the Executive Council.
WIS. Groesbeck, Of Cincinnati, then
read a paper on the silver question.
Mr.. GrOesbeck's paper was discussed
by S. B. Ruggles, Mr.. Judson and Mr..
Poor. The latter argued that no advan.
tage could result from the establishment
OF silver standard, and that the whole
question was one Of convenience.
Mt. Samuel Harris, OF Catskill, thought
the idea Of changing the standard OF silver
wa, all wrong.
Mr.. Hayes, Of Chicago, and Mr.. Grubb,
OF Philadelphia, also discussed the paper,
and the latter favored the appointment Of

NEw YORK, September l3.-The Work.
iDgmen's Convention was in session here
to-day, about $50 persons being present
from thirty counties. The morning was
spent in secret session in trying to agree
on plan for the United Workingmen
opposed to the Cincinnati ticket 10 unite
with the Greenback men.
The Greenback Executive Committee
were present and consented to Withdraw

cussion, demanding the payment Of bonds

laws under which they were Issued; there.
monetizing ofsilyer coin and the immedi.
ate repeal Of the resumption act; non.sec-
tartan schools; wholesome control by the
Government over all corporate bodies,
and the fostering OF the resources Of the
country to the end that labor may be full
ly and proftably employed. Declared in
favor Of graduated income tax; that
Government lands should be reserved
for actual settlers; deprecates all
efforts 10 redress wrongs by violence,
and denounces the system Of paying store
scrip for labor, and calls for laws to
prevent this swindle on the laboring men.
Their financial plank declares that it is
prerogative Of the Government to
provide money, both metallic and paper,
for the convenience Of trade, and that
this power should not be delegated 10
corporations or individuals, demands
that the legal tender Of currency be fully
restored and made legal tender and con-
tinued without contraction, and that the
National Banking Law be repealed.
