CROSSING THE Danube

LONDON, June 25.-The News's
lbrail correspondent, telegraphing on
Friday, sends n long account explain
ing how the crossing was effected. The
Russians at lbrail completed their
bridges undisturbed by the Turks.
Every one unde rstood, on Thursday
that the crossing was postponed, both
on account of delays i'll the Cars arri-
val, aud because Il large force of Turk
ish troops had been discovered in am
bush not far from the bridge. How
ever, General Zimmerman suddenly
disappeared from Ihrail during the
night. In the morning the people of
lbrail were awakened by the sound of
artillery and musketry on the other
side of the river, showing that the
Danube must ha 70 been crossed. Gen.
Zimmerman had gone to Galatz and
crossed the Danube with two regi-
ments of infantry, and a proportionate
amount of artillery and cavalry, in n
number of boats, towed over by steam
launches. The distance traversed by
the boats seems to have been over
three miles. The Turks seem to have
made Il stubborn resistance The latest
advices from tho Danube show some
bloody, but no serious or determined
opposition, to the crossing, either ut
Ibrail or aalatz,

been surprised at hearing both. He
had lseardA some remarks from his
Royal ighness which compelled hi IN
to say word in response. He begged
to: thank his Highness for those re-
marks. There had been other things
said during the evening highly graft
flying to him. Not the least gratifying
was to hear there were occasionally, in
this country, party fights as we'll as in
America. He had seen before now a
war between the Departments of
State, the Executive, the Judicial and
the Legislative. He had not seen the
political parties of England go so far as
that. He would initiate their Chap
lain, who had set good example of
OratOry-that was shOrtness, and say
no more than simply thank his Royal
Highness, and. the company on behalf

GRANT IN LONDON.

LONDON, June 4--Gen. Grant was
present last night at the banquet given
by the corporation of Trinity House.
The Prince OF Wales presided. Prince
Leopold, Prince Christian, the Prince
of Leimigen, the Price OF Sake Wee
mer, the Duke of Wellington, Marquis
of Hartford, Earl OF Derby, Earl Car
novan, Mr.. Cross, and Chief Justice
Sir \. Cockburn were among the dis
tinguished company present.
The Prince of Wales, referring to
General Grant in the course of his
speech, said "On the present occasion
it is II matter of peculiar qualification to
us, IA E.ngiishmen, to receive as our
guest, Gen. Grant. [Cheers.l l can
assure him, for myself and All loyal
-uhi..ts of the Queen, that it has given
us the greatest pleasure to see him AZ
guest in this country" [Cheers.
Earl Curnovan proposed the health
OF the visitors and coupled with it Cen
eral Grants name. He said: 'sStran-
gers of all classes, men of letters, art,
science, state and all that has been
most worthy and great, have as it were,

frontier of the United States, and dur
ing the last four years 1 can truly say
nothing has impressed me more than
the interchange of friendly and good
offices which took place between the
two countries under the auspices of
President Grant"
Gen. Grant replied that he felt more
impressed than he had possibly felt be-
fore on any occasion. He came here
under the impression that this was
Trinity House, and that Trinity consist
ed of army, navy and peace. He
thought, therefore, it was place of
quiet, where there would be no talk or
toasts. He had therefore naturally

SALE OF THE ", :. s. Il. RAILROAD.

The deep interest large majority of
our readers have and feel in the com
pietion of the railroad from ViclSsburg
tO Shreveport, now terminating at this
point, induces us to publish the decision
of Judge Woods in the railroad suit, to
when Il copy of the decision reached
this Office. We shall not here attempt
i, review or criticism of Judge Woods
reasoning or conclusions. Whether
| Ludeiing q Associates were purchasers
in good or bad faith, or are entitled

cost OF betterments Gas Judge Woods
decides they are, are questions with
which we are not directly concerned.

necessary to this important step has
been the settlement OF the question OF
title-a question which has retarded
the completion, for nearly ten years
at least, OF this important link in
the great Southern Pacific railway,
and has, by not being settled, i'll
tlicted in.aaiculubie damage not only
upon thousands OF individuals, but
upon the entire State and all the Gull
States besides.
Happily, there il one satisfactory
point reached in the decision of Judge
Woods-the point which has been OF
| the greatest general concern. This is,
that it is decrced that the railroad iluss
10 sold, and that the sale must lie made
before the Iat OF November Of tho pres.
ent year, but at such time prior there.

We have but little doubt of the sale
Of the road AS directed, as neither party
interest in the question OF title, and
therefore none in stopping the sale,
which, in fact, could not tie done. The
road, with its rights and franchises, is
to be sold, and the purchaser viii ges
it free OF all encumbrunces. AS the
investment will certainly pay Il hand
some per cent annually, once the road
is finished, there is no room to doubl
