Wa Declared,

Tic formal declaration Of war by Russia
upon Turkey has been made, and as these
lines are read the advancing columns OF the
Muscovitc armies are crossing the Pruth and
marching down into Roumania. That the
conflict will be tremendous one is not
doubtful 1t will exert a powerful influence
upon the destnies not only of the two ma
lions concerned, but also upon the whole OF
Continental Europe; it will affect the mar
kets of the world, and make the scenes OF
the war the centre of interest for all civil
lied people until the issue is decided and the
Cross or the Crescent energies victorious
from the storm OF fire and blood.
On Monday Russian force took posses
sion of Jassy, pushing an advance guard on
to Bucharest. A second detachment Of the
army crossed the Pruth at Kagul and a third
at Belgrade From these movements it ap-
pears to be definitely settled that the thea
ire of war is to be what is sometimes de-
scribed as the delta Of the Balkan, a long
strip of territory lying between the Danube
and the Black Sea, and broken into two
parts by the Balkan mountains. The force
with which Russia crosses the Pruth is esti-
mated at not less than 10000 men, or fully
double the number she has ever had in any
previous campaign on the line of the Danube.
The opposing Turkish army is far inferior in
point of numbers, but this disparity is COM
pensated to q considerable extent by the
the Danube and the strong defensive posi-
tons it holds on the line Of that river. II
these positions should be masked or cap
tilred, there will still remain the passes Of
the Balkan range to be forced before the
Russians can seriously menace Constants
noDle.

Surely, if there was ever State that has
suffered and been desolated by politicians,
it is Virginia. There is not a Commonwealth
in the whole sisterhood OF States that has
had to endure as much legislative profigacy
| and imbecllity as Virginia. She is stagger-
| ing under the heavy burdens piled upon her,
with no hope Of escape unless the people rise
up in their might and destroy the entire po-
litical machinery by which the harm has
been effected. The true people-the men
| who pay the taxes and sweat at the pillow,
| have allowed the drones to eat their sub
stance, without interposing for their own
protection. The rings have run the caucus
and the caucus has run the State, while the
people have been toiling and sweating, until
embarrassments have encompassed them that
seem almost insurmountable. Surely, this
condition Of things will not be allowed to be
continued, and sill greater expressions de-
vised. The people have it in their power to
arrest the desolating current that has been
surging over them, abate the caucus, eman-
cipate the masses from its tyranny, and en-
courage free thought and free action, which
will retire the political trimmers, and thus
remove the first great obstruction to ma
terial progress. With this accomplished,
the way will be opened for an improved flu
ture-immigration will come-capital will
locate. and the wonderful resources OF the
Commonwealth b9oome agencies of active
wealth.
Until tae political insanity which has con-
trolled Virginia, is cured; until every man
can freely and with IMMUNITY enjoy his hon.
est opinions, and express them without pre-
iudice, whether he be Republican Or Demo-
crat, Yankee Or SoutlIerner, white Or black,
there will be no change in the material con-
dition of the Commonwealth. 10 kill the
caucus is to bring about q political reyolu-
ton, and a political revolution means the
and prosperity of Virginia. And
this is the work for the people to perform.
