EASTERN WAR.
Battle Last Friday
near BatOunl.
TURKISH ARMS VICTORIOUS.
Russian Loss Four Thousand Kill
ed and Wounded.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Bucharest
journals state that the Turks crossed
the Danube at Cockanesch and stole
1000 sheep and killed the shepherd
and some cattle.
The Telegraph's special from Ba-
toum, Gated Friday, says: About five
o'clock this morning the Russians
largely augmented, advanced with
field artillery and made furious at
tack on the heights defending Batoum
on the land side, occupied by Bashi
Bazouks. The Ottoman troops were
entrenched and opened a terrible and
well sustained fire of cannon and mus
kerry which Utterly moved the Rus
slams down in swaths. They fell by
scores and hundreds on the plain be
low the Turkish position, turning their
attempts to make way against this
fire. The body of the turkish horse
and foot, taking advantage of thick
forrest, broke forth on the flank of the
Russian column and effected great
slaughter, the MuscOvites being upon
ground perfectly open and having no
choice but to fight or fly. In a short
time the spot which was the scene of
this flank movement became covered
with dead and dying Russians, but
they very quickly brought up rein
forcements and the battle was renew
ed with much determination For
many hours the efforts of the assail-
ants were desperately maintained, but
towards mi.ilay their artillery fire
gradually slackened and they at
length withdrew, after suffering con-
siderable loss.
An eye witness of this important
engagement says that the Ottoman
soldiers behaved admirably. They
had, however, during a great part of
the engagement, the advantage of en-
trenchments on high ground, and it
was due to this fact, no doubt, that
their losses, compared to the Russians
were insignificant.
The Ielegruph's Botonin dispatch
dated Saturday, says that the victo-
ry was won by the extraordinary cour-
age of the Bashi Bazouks. The dead
and wounded Russians exceed 1000
The engagement lasted over eight
hours, actual fighting. The last of the
Russians did not withdraw until near
midnight. The Russians left many
guns. The only Turkish officer of
notice killed is Khalim Bey, Major of
irregulars.

"Oil Timers"

The following paragraph, clipped from
the Bozeman, Montana Times, pays
quite compliment to some old Virgin
ians who are now residents of Mont ma.
No doubt some Of our readers will pc,
ruse it with INTEREST,"
Among the cold timers" lately visit
ed bv us, we were gratltied to meet
Jordon and the Tuttles, OF + isl creek
Jefferson county, and our old and es~
teemed friend, T.. G.. Brooke, at White
Hall station, where we were delayed
three days in consequence of stormy
weather. Mr. Brooke is an old country
man of ours from Western Virginia,
and from an adjoining county, onon-
galia-of which he was once sheriff.
1t does our hearts good ic meet our ma
tive counhvman in the Far West.
There are but few of them, but they all
honor their State, ard comprehending
that although they may have become
forgotten by their countrymen in the
East, and may not reflect great honor on
their State,no true Virginlan will deny
that his State reflects credit upon him.
Major Brooke is above the general aver.
age of man in the scale of intelligence
and independence ofcharacter and every
way good and worthy citizen, who has
seen the ups and downs of life, but has
proved hims II sune ior to all difficulties
and troubles Ben Mason, of Jeifer-
son City, is from the same county of
Major Brooke, and is sensible whole
souled Virginian; and when that is said
enough is said. We should like to as
certain how many, and the names OF
the people of Montana who claim West
Virginia as their native State, Gran-
vile Stuart ard his brothers were na>
tives Of our old county, Harrison, and
are 10 discle edit 10 it. Charley Rey>
nolds is also from Harrison, and very
worthy and cuterprsing you man
but we are sorry to say, has fallen off
from the Democratic faith He has tax
en- unto his temple false gods, which
he unlawfully worships. DR.. Brooke,
brother to the Major, of White Hal, ;
we must not neglect to mentions from
West Virginia; aud a worthy and sues
cessful disciple at Esculapius, doing
full credit to bis calling in a large prac>
tce. 1t is to the credit of all the West
Virginians in Montana, whom we have
met that they all regret that the New
Dominion (West VirginiaD cut off from
the old-fro the recollcctions and
"reminiscences of the revolutionary war
from the greatest men OF all the I'm
ion, who III the cabinet, the council, i'll
the temples Of justice, on the field of bat
tie, have left names and history that
can never perish among the nations to
the end of time.
