fThe line of the memorable retreat led twice
across the seat of war IN Armenia. From the battle
field of Cunaxa the Greeks marched along the val
lev of the Tigris to point the lower branch of
the Euphraes corresponding to the present town OF
Mush Instead of striking northwest toward the
Greek colony of Trapezus (IrebizOnd) they made
crcuitous detOur through Armenia, crossing the
Euphratos near the site of the present town OF
Melasgerd, hating in the valley Of Ioprak-kaleh
twhere the Russian left wing is expected daily pass
ing TO the north of Mount Ararat fording the ATas
aud penetrating as far north the site of Zaika, on
tie line between Batum and T1s. Thence they
rotTsced thor steps. passing close to the site OF
AlexandTopOl, crossing the ancient ATaXes midway
between the sites of Kars aud Bayazid and march
ing over the mountain passes where the russian
center is now encamped. They finally reached
O city named Gymnias, which Aenophon
describes as great, beautiful, and famous.
Here they rested after their terrible march,
and obtained a guide, who conducted them to
q mountain. where they the Euxine in the
horizon. Ainsworth, in his travels in the Track
of the Ten thousand" identifies Gymnias with En-
zerum. The present City of Erzerum was founded
about A. d. 415, by a general of tho Emperor Theo-
dosius H. but it probably the seat of tho ancient
town wherein XenophOn took refuge after his mid
winter march the mountain lovels of Armenia.
The battle Of Cunaxa was fought early in Septem-
Der; the Euhrates was crossed about the middle OF
December; the passes of Mount Soghanlu were
scaled Iato in January; and the Greek colony of

Then is the time that the new shoes
are bought, new suits, new dresses, new
hats and all other kinds of clothing, and
indeed new furniture, are bought, and as
they trundle their baggage to their homes,
pest Their home stores, it is not much
wonder that the home merchant stands
in the door and watches the process with
a clouded brow. We do think if our
Wilmington merchants would but sell at
Philadelphia prices, that much of this
running away from home would be
stopped. There certainly is no good reason
why they should not sell as cheap. They
can buy at wholesale as cheap as Phlladel-
phia merchants can, and though they
may have the little trifiing expenses of
freight, it is more than made up by cheap
rents and other reduced eXpenses.-Deld-
tCdre Republican,.
1t is probably true that our merchants
wear "clouded brows," as is stated in
the above /; but it is very doubtful, since
the wives of the merchant themselves are
frequently met by the ladies of Whining
ton making their purchases of kid gloves,
extra silks, and other little matters in
Phlla The inducements offered by the
Philadelphia merchants through their ad
Vertisements naming prices, are almost
rresistable to our people and this SHOULD
be met by like advertisements here.
AS regards the prices the language il
hardly just towards our Wilmington mer
chants. The editor says "four Whining
ton merchants pouid but sell at Phiiadel
phio prices" &c. We have heard man,
people say our merchants sold many ar
ticles lower than the Philadelphia mer
chants do. Indeed we can assert posi-
lively so far, that several Philadelphi
ladies of our acquaintance, who formerl
lived here, have chosen to make thei
purchases here for the very reason,
they assigned, they could suit themselv,
quite aswell and buy their articles cheape
One or two we know came here sever
tunes last spring and summer and bougl

Operations.
Mehemet Ali fought idst ore battle
too many. He won at Karahassan, but
he lost at on the Banica Lom when he
attempted to drive the Czarewitch out
of Biela. He was then forced to retire
but more on account of the difficulty
experienced in obtaining supplies and
from any direct hostile prssure. That
retreate gave the anxiously looked for
oppertunlty to Suleiman Pacha, and he
used it with effect. 1t will be remem-
bered that when. Mehemet Ali confron- :
ted the Russians on the road to Eski
Djuma he urged Suleiman Pacha to
hasteu to reinforce him by the open
passes east of the Shipka defile. Sulel-
man, however. preferred TO sacrifice
thousands of his best troops in the al
tempt to force the Russians over the
! Balkans. He failed in doing this, but
he succeeded in Withholding help from
his rival just ar the time it was most
necessary, and thus accomplishing his
ruin.
Moukhtar Pacha has been attacked
and defeated with heavy loss near the
Armenian frontier, and he runs no lit
tie risk of beiug cut eff from Kars and
his army captured or dispersed. The
The Russian preparations for another
attack on Plevna are being pushed on
energetically. The last regiment OF

1OLAIlCos-- w pafo ooio bOAotOl ohu
we say again now that the Democratic |
party for the present has but little ,ofpol-
itics in its make up, 1t has no measures
upon which its slleading minds have taken
counsel-not one feature upon which Its
great men have caucused. Its whole
stock in trade Of any value is to be found
in its opposition to the wasteful extrava-
gance Of the people who have been run
ming the government for the last ten or
twelve years. Upon this and mere eco
nomical measures the whole party may
be safely united as one man.
And it may be hoped that oq this great
and opportune occasion the assembling
ofCongress IN extra session, the Repre-
sentatives and Senators will be wise
enough to attempt the adoption of no po-
litical measures-that they will simply
make the necessary appropriations for
conducting the government until the as
sembling of the regular session in Decem-
Der and adjourn.
There is very little doubt that the
President and Cabinet will endeavor to
force numerous measures on the atten-
tion of Congress among which will be
the increase of the army. We hope this
will not be agreed to. 1t is charged that
the President is very anxious to have an
other war with Mexico aud thereby to
grasp another slice of that country. This
would salt many people of this country
admirably. But we do not want any
more territory than we have. Nor dc
we want to pay hundred millions OIL
more for useless war to secure addition.
al territory. We are not in need Of
more territory; but we are in need of a
lighter and more inexpensive natlona
government. This the Democrats have
pledged to the people, and the first anG
chiefest thing the party has to do is tC
further reduce the expenditures in al
the Departments.
The Heads of Departments said befor
the last Congress that the country woult
suffer by a reduction of expenditures, ,an
they will say it again. But the Demo
cratic House in spite of these assertion
was the means of our having surplus @
thirty millions of gold in the Us. Trea

there will he n redT1ction in tho nayt or

pie, when Congress meets in December
