ube and advanced uD the peninsula to
that once famous but now crumbling
barrier, Trajan's wall, and which
does not number more than thirty
thousand men, has not yet succeeded
in passing that point, being held in
check by the works at kuStendji,
and by the Turkish division which
fell back upon these defenceS after
the Russians had crossed into the
Dobrudscha. The Turkish strength
in the field is considerably less than
that of their adversaries. 1t will be
as large however, when reinfOrc-
ed by the troops from Montenegro,
numbering about thirty-four thouS-
and men. Thus far the chief advan-
tage acquired by the Russians is that
thew have -ucceeded in crossing the
Danube at two points, and in throw

Gus point gained--the one now to be
encountered Is to establish depOts of
supplies. AS these supplies must be
drawn from long distances and over
rugged R0umanian roads, much time
will be necessarily occupied in filling
the depots, and until this is done the
Russian army will not be in con-
dition to undertake operations that
will carry it to any considerable dis
lance from its base, assuming that
the line of the Danube may be con-
next to be made. In Asiatic Turkey
the Russians have met with stubborn
resistance. At first they appeared
destined to carry everything before
them. They took Bayazid, but the
Turks have recaptured it, They as

They have laid seige to kars, but
have as yet failed to take it, meeting
meantime with some sanguinary re

fighting, they have lost Important
advantages. Both sides continue ac-
tive and each are being reinforced,
so that the end may not yet be seem
On the whole, then, the campaign
both in Asiatic and European Turkey
advances slowly, and as the Turks
regard it as a struggle for existence
the war seems destined to be a fierce
and long and bloody one.-BaH. SIN.

The Family Quarrel

The Republican party in Balti-
more has not been a"happy family
lately by any means. A "little I'M
pleasantness" has occurred between
some of the Republican leaders
which threatens to become, if not a
bloody chasm, at least an impossible
one, and one across which we shall
never see Mr.. Creswell and Mr..
Fulton shake hands. Mr.. CresWell
is evidently in state of PickWickian
indignation; which nothing can APP
pease when he so severely and virtu-
ously shakes off the dust Of his feet
against Mr.. Fulton, on account of
which, of course, it will be readily
seen that it will be more tolerable in
the day of judgment for Sodom
and Gomorrah than for the unfortu-
nate editor ofthe american.
AS for Mr.. Fulton, although he
has not much to say, it is easily to be
imagined that he will not soon for
get or give the terrible verbal casti-
CATION which Mr.. Creswell has adj
ministered. Therefore, we may ex-
pect that there will be ceaseless war
fare between these redoubtable
champions until one or the other of
them shuffies off this mortal coil.
Lik : the two rival editors in Pick
wick, the valiant editor of the Ameri-
can, and the intrepid eX-POstmaster
General, will continue to belabor
each other with their tongues, and
will probably always confine them
selves to this feminine mode of war
fare.
The whole affair has been disgrace
full throughout. If Mr.. Creswell and
and Mr.. Fulton, and their respective
frinds, had only been sincere and
fought one-half as hard for reform
in the Government as they have to
secure fat jobs "inside Of the Ring"
at Washington, no doubt we should
have long since seen the cause Of
true reform completely triumphant.

the British minister for the facts
connected with the murder of Nc
Lellan, it being rumored that he
was a British subject. While the in
vestigation was chiefly directed to
an inquiry into the killing of Nc
Lellan, testimony was elected at the
same time which brings out all the
facts in relation to the murder of
Gilmer and Chiaolm family, and the
Times correspondent claims that
the evidence confirms all the facts
thus unpublished in connection with
the tragedy, and at the same time
develops some new facts, which show
that the murder of Judge ChisOlm
was the result Of deliberately plan
ned conspiracy, and that it was in
teded to kill the other parties arrest
ed with him."
In regard to Mcclellan it is ascer-
tanned that he was born in Scotland
in 1917, came to the United States
in 1913, and settled in Kemper county
Miss, in 1856, where he acquired
considerable property. In 1861 the
Gov. of Mississippi called into the
field for sixty days body Of militia.
These were known as State troops,
were all volunteers, and were sent
to Bowling Green, Ky. Mcclellan
joined this force, which was not en-
gagged in actual hOstilities, no Occa-
sion for active service arising during
their short term. After this he refus-
ed to do military duty, claiming to
be a British subject. He applied to
the British consul at Mobile for pro-
lection, and informed him of his
enlistment in the sixty-days troops,
of Mississippi. The consul, however,
refused to extend him protection,
alleging that by this act of enlist
ment he had forfeited his right to
the protection of the British crown.
Whether Mcclellan forfeited his
rights as IA British subject by reason
of his connection with the Confeder-
ate military service is for the British
authorities to determine. A copy Of
the testimony will be furnished the
representative of Great Britain by
the State Department. Mcclellan
was bachelor, and the legal success
sion to his property will require a
decision upon his citizenship.

The Mississippi Tragedy.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times says the report
of the investigation directed to be
made by the government into the
death Of the Scotchman Angus Nc
Lellan, who was killed in Kemper
county, Miss, at the time Of the
Chisolm tragedy, has been presented
to the Attorney General, and will be
referred to the Department of State.
The investigation was directed in
consequence of a request made by

The Mexican ImbrOgliO.

The President and others in high
official station express qualification
with the intelligence received
through the War Department of the
crossing of the Rio Grande by United
States troops in pursuit of predatory
Indians, and the success Of soldiers
efforts in recapturing the stolen
property and furnishing the marau~
derS. One of the gentleman referred
to, who occupies a very prominent
position in the civil service remark
ed to day that the action of the Cabi-
net in directing that Mexican Marau-
ders shall be followed across the
frontier was taken after the most
mature deliberation as to its results
and was based upon the unanimous
conviction of the Cabinet that in no
other way can our border be effectual-
al protected. "Just So often" added
this gentleman, as the Mexican en-
tiers our territory on thieving eX-
petitions, just SO often will he be
followed across the Rio Grande, and
the next ii me our troops follow such
a party of thieves as are mentioned
in to-day's despatch they will proba-
bly, bring back something besides
few horses; they will bring back
some of the Indians who commit de-
predations upon our territory, at the
instence, and for the benefit, of the
Mexican organizers of such cattle
stealing expedition. 1t is considered
very likely that the Diaz Government
will protest againt5 this entr v of the
United States troops into Mexican
territory, but there is not the least
probability that General Ord's
present instructions will be modified.
The position heretofore formally
assumed by the Mexican Cover
ment, that our Government has no
right to send troops across the Rio
Grande in pursuit of Marauders,
whose operations Mexico has herself
failed to prevent or punish, seems
to be very lightly regarded at the
State Department, both on the gener-
al principle of the Ier taliOnis, as
these entries of United States troops
into Mexicon are invariable preceded
by forcible incursiop into our terri
tory, and because the right to pursue
and forcibly recapture ones own
property from a burglar or other
robber is universally recognized.

The indictment of the members of
the Louisiana Returning Board is re-
garded at Washington as matter of
great political importance. The ac-
ton of the New Orleans Grand Jury
will furnish the opponents of the
Administration with just the argu-
ment it has been in need of, namely,
that there is no sense of obligation
toward the President in the minds
of the Southern people, and very lit
tie sentiment of honor !; and that they
will take all they can get from the
Administration and then oppose it
with just as much enmity as they
displayed toward that of President
Grant. the fact that Attorney Cen
eral Ogden was actively concerned
in the scheme for procuring the in
dictments aWakenS a natural suspi-
cion that Governor Nichols did not
resist the movement. Ogden is the
law officer of his Administration, and
although he is not a conservative,
like Nichols, but is pretty strong
Bourbon, it seems as if the Govern
or if he had tried, should have been
able to control him. Prominent
Louisiana Republicans now in Wash
ington city continue to express conf
dence in Governor Nichols as a man
who will not break the faith he pledg-
ed to the Republicans of the State
and to the Presidents Commission !;
but they think he is not strong
enough to hold back the public sent
iment that is urging the prosecution
of the Returning Board. They say
that when the cases come to be tried,
the jury will undoubtedly be COM
posed exclusively of Democrats, and
will in effect be packed to convict.
If Republicans are placed on the
jury, a conviction would be impOss-
ible, for the trial will be as pu. ely
political affair as an election.

Gen. Adam E. King, who was a
gallant officer during the war, and
was wounded five times in battle,
and who was Naval Officer at Balti-
more, expresses the greatest indig,
nation over his removal, and says he
is not able to comprehend why he
should make place for another, when
the duties of his Office had been salts
factorily discharged and his accounts
were exactly correct. We regret
Gen. Kings removal; he was a
SPLENDID gentleman, and had a
soldiers record to be proud Of
Cumberland CiUlliC0a.

The Columbus, Ca Enquirer says
that there are now in operation in
that city eight cotton mills, one
wooden and bagging factory, four
Touring and grist establishments,
two foundrys, pillow mandatory,
steam engine and boiler works, and
a number of minorindustries among
which may be conuted steamboat
building, The amount invested in
manufacturing far exceeds that Of
any other town in the South, and is
increasing year by year. The cotton
and wooden mills now run $4,000
spindles and l 100 looms. A compe-
tent manufacturer is engaged in max
ing drawings and estimates for a new
mill Of $4,000 spindles, to be con-
structed by a Northern company.
This will increase the number of
spindles at Columbus to $1,000. The
s.. 900 spindles consume $4,000 bales
of cotton year, and the looms 3OO,-

AMERICAN Iron INTERESTS.-The
year 1873 marked the lowest depress-
ion of American railroad building,
and this fact explains the consider
able increase in iron and steel rails
rolled in this country in 1876. In fact
the total net tons of rails and other
rolled iron produced in 1876 was near
ly equal to the highest point ever
reached-l, 921 goo tons, against 800,
600 in 1878, l,966,000 in 1874 and l,
4S5, 200 in 1878. Nearly half the pro-
duction of $40, 600 tons of rails in 1876
was of Bessemer steel. The produce
ton of steel not BeSsemer has risen
pretty steadily from 15,osO tons in 80
to II, 900 in 1876, the highest point
ever reached. These figures are much
more cheering than those of the pig
iron trade, which is competed with
bv the immense amount Of old iron
rails thrown on the market. Process
es have been perfected by which
nails and many other hard wares are
successfully and cheayly made from
these old rails, reducing the demand
for new iron of course. The iron and
steel rail market is quite active, and
one of the contracts to be had at Pitts
burg is for 10000 tons to 60 to Cuba.
Business in general, of course, is the
dullest of the dull, but great expec-
tations are entertained of the fall.

HoNORs TO TUE FEDERAL DEAD.
AT Petersburg, Va. on Monday,
the contract for the erection of mar

in Poplar Grove Cemetery was COM

number of representative ladies and
gentlemen assembled at the cemetery
to honor the occasion. The ceremo-
neis comprised a prayer by Rev.

staff, and an Grafton by Mr.. Thomas
G.. Watkins. Prominent among
those present were Col. Brady, he

Should we everget into war with
England, which the fates avert, it
WOULD be really out of the question
for General Grant to lead the armies
of the United States to Buckingham
Palace. Queen Victoria is a shrewd
little woman. She no doubt thought
of this when she entertained the
General so royalty at Windsor. Had
U. S. been a widower, now, he
might have fought it out on that
line successfully. But there's Jesse

The murder of w. b. HickOk,
known as Wild Bill, a frontiersman,
whose fearlessness, skill and manly
beauty Gen. Custer had praised in a
magazine article, attracted wide at
tention about year ago. A Chey-
enne correspondent of the "World"
gives this new account of the killing:
Fate brought him to the same card
table with Jack Mccall, a gambling
sharper. On the last hand Mccall bet
so and lost, and when he came to
settle found he had only $3.50. Bill
remarking, You oughn't to overbet
your pile, that's no way toplay cards,
handed him back So to pay for his
lodging and breakfast. Next morn
ing Bill was in a saloon when Nc Call
came behind him noiseleSsly, placed
the muzzle of his revolver to the
back of his head, and killed him.

The Projected War with Mexico.

The PROJECTED War with Mexico.
We do not doubt that our Govern
ment will be sufficiently patient
with the Mexican: but, after all,
Gen. Ord must do his duty, and if
Gen. Trevino should get in the way,
no doubt he will come to grief. AS
matters stand, battle between our
troops and Mexican forces is an event
of which news may come at any time.
Clearly the situation is such that,
though our Government may eXer-
else the utmost care and patience,
unless Mr.. Diaz recalls his instruc-
lions to the commanders on the bor-
der, or unless President Hayes sur
renders our border people to the at
tacks of Mexican thieves, we may at
any moment hear of a collision be-
tween American and Mexican troops;
and that, we may as well remember,
means war.
Itappears to us that unless PreSi-
dent Diaz acts more sensibly than he
has done, unless he allows our forces
to pursue and punish the Mexican
outlaws, there may before long, be
serious trouble on the border. Sec
rotary Evarts will no doubt do his
best to bring President Diaz to some
reasonable policy. But if he fails in
this, or if Diaz, as the latest news
from Mexico hints, is already totter-
ing and in such state of weakness
that he may at any time be over
thrown: if neither he nor his success
or will do the justice we ask, and at
last a hostile collision takes place
what then IN. y. Herald.
An officer of the army who has
just arrived here from Texas says
that the opinion on the frontier,
among army officers, is that the or
der of Diaz.to Gen. Trevino directing
him to oppose the forces Of Gen. Ord,
should they be found on Mexican ter
ritory, is likely to precipitate COLI
sion, and it is the current belief
among army officers that these or
ders of Djaz were issued with this
object in view. 1t is believed that
Diaz is not averse to a collision with
the United States, believing that
this would be popular thing among
the Mexican masses, and unite them
in favor of his Administration The
MeXicans are represented as being
unanimously opposed to any cessinn
oftheir territory, and, however much
they may be divided upon local af-
fairs, would unite with enthusiasm
against any attempt to wrest fl ON
them, either by purchase or conquest,
any portion Of their countrywide
York Times.

Further and very full particulars
are given of the encounters with the
Nez Perces Indians in Idaho on the
Sd, 4th and 9Th instant. The gallant
ry of a small party of volunteers I'M
der a Captain Randall is spoken of
in high terms of commendation.
There were but seventeen of them,
and though hard pressed by more
than hundred Indians, they never
faltered far an instant. Their brave
commander was MORALLY wounded
in the fight, and died on the field.
Additional kilograms are received
from General Howard, IN which he
speaks confidently of success against
the hostiles, and says that he has
now concentrated his force.

The Eastern War.

The status of the war in the East,
as shown by the latest dispatches,
places the armies of both belligerents
on the Danube and in Asia in a con-
dition of suspense. 1t is true that
the Russians have succeeded in
throwing one hundred and fifty
thousand men across the Danube,
but it will he.a task full of difficulty
to force the Balkan passes and march,
rs Derbitsh did years ago, on Adri-
anople. Their latest attempts to
cross the Danube at several points
have been foiled by the vigilance Of
the Turks, and the vanguard which
was ordered to move southwark and
seize the heads Of the passes has been
driven back to Sistova. The Russian
force which crossed the lower Dan
