War News I!
Special Correspondence from The
Seat Of Var.
MIR. CLIPPERS, Correspondent.

The Circassian insurrection ap
pears to be hindering the advance
of the Russians in Asia. The Cir.
cassians attached to the Russian
army of the Danube, are to be dis.
missed. The following dispatches
have been received:
Tiflis, May 30.-The Turks hold
the roads through the Caucasus
from the Black Sea to Tiflis.
A special from Vienna to Man.
chester, May Both, says:
Messages from st. Petersburg
denying that the Caucasian insur-
rection has any influence on the
campaign should not he accepted
as representing the real situation.
When the Circassian chief Schamyl
in 1854, with 10000 Tschetsheres.
descended into the Koor Valley,
the Russians were compelled to
evacuate Bayazid and all their
positions and retire TO Tifis. They
also abandoned their expedition to
Afghanstan. The present rebellion
at least blocks their sole commune
cation between Vladi, Kaukus and
Tiflis.
A special from Vienna, June LIST,
says:
One thing seems pretty certain
that for one reason or another, pos
sibly for several, delay has oc-
in the Russian advance in
Asia. II is possible the necessity of
some of the reserve troops
from TraDs-Caucasus to secure com |
munication through the Caucasus
nay have contributed to retard the
advance. Fortunately for Russia
he Turks seem scarcely in a posi-
ion to take an advantage of this
lelay. All accounts from the spot
lgree that the condition OF their
orces is even worse than is gen.
rally believed. They are consid-
'rably fewer than has been assum-
ID, and, with the exception of arms,
ack everything requisite for an
rmy In the field. There seems to
'e hardly any reserve stock OF am ,
nunition, especially for the artil- I
sry.
Regarding the Circassians with
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1877-06-06

the Russians in Roumania, a dis.
patch says:
A few days ago a number ol
Circassians in the Russian service
were sent home from Roumania
1t was represented at the time that
they were discharged on account
of lawless conduct towards Rou-
mania. The Vienna Deutch lei
tung now asserts that conspiracy
was discovered among them, and
the colonel has been expelled from
the army and Eve other officers
shot at Krajova.
Vienna, May 30.-Thirteen trains
filed with Circassian cavalry in
the Russian service passed the Mol
davian railway in one day on their
way back to Russia. Three squad
rons will be dismissed. The Sheik-
ul-Islam found means to let these
troops know that a holy war had
been declared. They since have
shown great discontentment and
many declared they would not fire
on their co-religionists.. A regi-
ment will be sent to the Siberian
garrisons.
The Turks claim to have retaken
Arabian, but it is said that the
Russians had reduced the fortress
to ruins, and that the recapture by
the Turks was merely an occupancy
of deserted post.
Another encounter is said to have
taken place at Batoum. The Turks
claim to have repulsed the Russians.
The engagement lasted ten hours.
The following account of the de-
struction of q Turkish monitor, on
the Danube, by torpedoes, has been
received:
Two young Russian engineer of
ficers attempted to reach the mont
tor early in the evening with tor
pedoes, but were discovered and
driven back by heavy fire. AT
three o'clock in the morning they
again returned in two small skiffs,
carrying with them chain of small
filed with dynamite.
No lookout being kept aboard the
monitor they securely lodged the
chain acoss her bows. On their
return they discharged the whole
series of torpedoes by means of
an electric battery. The vessel i'm
mediately disappeared.

pass on, admiring the beautiful
houses and almost endless variety
Of flowers aud shrubbery with
which these are surrounded, and
the air comes freighted with per-
fume. Slowly we ascend the street
and now catch a glimpse of the
marble steps of the State House
about three blocks away. We are
soon at the entrance, at the north
east corner of the Capitol grounds,
and We swing the gilded iron gate
and pass mp the first fight of mar
bic steps to the lower landing.
Following the shaded walk to the
right, we come to the central fig
ure of the grounds, viz: the beau
tiful fountain. Passing around
this, we ascend the main flight of
marble steps until our feet tread
the base of the Capitol building.
This white marble base extends
out from the building about TWEEN
five or thirty feet, and forms a
beautiful walk around the immense
marble building. On this base, in
1865, were planted cannon to COM
maud the several turnpikes leading
ont of the city. This base stands
l91 feet above the river, 80 you
can see what commanding posi-
ton it was. From this point you
look down upon the city from all
sides, while away and around rise
hills, so thoroughly fortified during
the war. Away off to the south,
southeast and southwest, we can
yet detect the outlines of those
great forts and earth-works and
off here to the left of the Fisk
University, and browning the hill,
can be plainly seen a great earth
work, standing a monument of po-
litical hate, intrigue and ambition.
Bnt let us pass between the marble
columns, up the steps and inside
the marble palace. On the left we
see in gilt letters, Supreme Court"
and on the right the several State
Offices. Here we are at the foot of
the grand marble stairs leading to
the second story. We go up and
enter the Senate chamber; and
across the great hall we enter the
House chamber. These | can
not describe, as it would occupy
too much time and space. You
can imagine, perhaps, better than |
can describe. Here is O notice, let's
read it. "Visitors wishing to enter
the tower, where can be seen one
of the finest views in the country,
will find the usher in room 8, south
end" Well, Of course, that was
Just what we wanted, so to room 8
we went, and made known our
wishes. So, piloted by the usher,
we go up, up, up until it seems we
would never stop. After much |
toll we find ourselves in the tower,
and what grand view. / can not
describe tit must be seen to be |
experimentation the eye falls
on such n scene of beauty as is
here given. But let's talk of some
hing else, or | fear you will be-
come disguised with ice-bound
Alpena and sigh for fairer climes.
So we will talk of something else.
How did you like the new potatoes,
string beans, green peas and straw
berries and cream we had for din
ner to-day l thought them
splendid, and ate for you as well as
myself.
do not know which way shall
20 from here, bnt l think west
ward, into Arkansas and Texas.
Truly yours,
