heavy masses of Russian infantry on the
bank of the Danube, west of IDrail, it Is
scarcely probable that any passage viii De
attempted until all the corps are IN posi-
ton The above sketch represents the
strategic situation. The tactical
situation is as follows: The
Russians appear to have crossed between
REM and Ibrail in spite Of the Turkish
monitors, and are now awaiting the 0e-
ployment Of the centre and right wings
on the line of the river, while the Rouma-
mans and Turks are exchanging compare
lively harmless compliments across the
river between the Jolomnitza and kalafal
positions. These Turko- Roumanian
operations seem to be confined to attempts
at ascertaining the numbers, calibre ano
position Of each others batteries on tht
respective sides of the Danube.

to state affairs, but he aludes to the late cleo
ton which, he says, was characterized by the
utmost good order notwithstanding the pres.
ence III many places of the military forces of
the government Referring to the Presidential
troubles, Gov. Smith says in conclusion, sit is
believed that a proper determination of the
grave questions now confronting us can in the
last resort be left to the sober judgment of right
minded people in the Northern states. Ii it
cannot, then we are powerless, and they as we'll
as we will have lost the inestimable right of
freedmen, the right of self government. When
