The Home Of My Heart.


Not here in the populous town,
In the playhouse or mart,
Not here in the ways gray and brown.
But afar on the green swelling down,
Is the home of my heart.
There the hillside slopes down to dell
Whence streamlet has start;
There are woods and sweet grass on the swell
And the south winds aud west know 1t wolf
IT'S the home Of my heart.
There's cottage o'ershadowed By leaves
Growing tairer than art,
Where under the low sloping caves
No false hand the swallow bcreaVcs-
lis the home ofmy heart
And there as you gaze down the lea,
Where the trees stand apart,
Over grassland and wood it may be
You will catck the faint gleam OF the sea
From tho nome of my heart
And there in the rapturous Spring,
When the morning rays dart
Ger the plain, and the morning birds sing,
You may see the most beautiful thing
In the home Of my heart;
For there OF the easement above,
Where the rose bushes part,
Will blush the fair face Of my love;
All, yes ! it is this that will prove
lis the home of my heart.

THE RUSSIANS DEFEATED.

If we may give credence to the dispatches coming through Turkish sources, the Rus sian army is in full retreat. During the past two weeks, the fortune of war in Asia has has been with the Turks. According 10 the reports received, the Russians now defeated, they cannot renew the attack this season. because there is no time to bring up reinforcements. Only some ten weeks re- main in which the campaign can proceed. Owing to the mountainous condition of the country snow falls early, and Is. in many respects, similar to the Sierra Nevadas or the heavy snows of Colorado and more se- were than those of the San Francisco coun- try and the Mogollon range in Arizona, and with this early approach of winter military operations must close. At the outbreak of the campaign Mukhtar Pasha. in command of the Turkish forces in Armenia, was set down as incompent Russian officers were represented as possessing all the material requisite and necessaries to q quick and decisive overthrow of the Ottoman Empire, but quite the contrary has been the result.
 The Russian troops captured the fortresses of Bayazid and Ardahan without much difficulty. Ears was quickly invested. and its early capture was anticipated. Mukhtar Pasha's army comprised a total force of 6S,OOO, and opposed to him were l2o,0OO Russians. The capture of Kars proving a work of time, the Russian general left force sufficient to invest it and marched on toward Erzeroum with the intention of making a junction with the southern wing ot the Rus sian army. The nature of the country gave the advantage to the defending army, and the Russians were compe.! led to retreat Tn the direction of Kars, followe,' py the otto- man army. The garrison of kars made a tremendous sortie on the Cars troop, ana the result is, according to the advices iSsuec under the surveillance of the Sublime Porte, the Russian troops are haSteninS back to the frontier.
 The success of the Turks on the Danube and in Asia has been of vital importance to the Ottoman Empire. Their forces are now concentrated at Rustchk and Shumla, where they will fight with great advantage over the Russians and remain masters of the sltua- ton along the Danubian municipalities.

MINING NOTES.

A very valuable lead has been discovered in the Hassayampa district and named tho Perry, after very eccentric gentleman by that name who lives at MarkcSoR, Wlscon- sin. The ore that we have seen resembles very much the Peck, in looks, and IS perto- rated with horn silver. Assays from this lead show the ole to be worth thousands oi dollars per ton, and the owner coniidentl, expects to rival John Jacob ASter in wealtl when he shall have developed this wonder ful mass of ore that beckonS him on to vic tory. The mine is owned by T. Otto, O. this village, and extensions on the same lead have been located by others, which are saiG 10 be equally rich with NIT. Otto's claim.
 J.C. Cahill has located what he considers valuable silver lead in Bradshaw district, and has named it the Index. The lead Is ci silver, and free from salphurets.
 Thomas Donohue, of Bradshaw Basin, las located the Index South, and assures Us that the ore assays over S2O0 to the ton; r is-about three feet wide, and has the appear snce of being an extensive mine.
 The Carlotta No. 2, has been located by D.. Thibodo, iu Goodwin district, is an ex- cellent lo,ation and is held in great value by its owner.
 The Storm, gold and silver deposit, in Hassayampa district, located by c. Garret son. is creating considerable excitement and is undoubtedly equally rich with many other valuable mines in that district.
 The Signet, in Humbug district, contains gold and silver and Is very rich. Although the lead is not wide, it is considered very valuable

NEWS FROM GENERAL HOWARD.

It has been rumored for several days thai the troops under General Howard had en- gagged the hostilcs belonging to Joseph command and gained victory over them We give our readers the Generals own ac' count of the battle which strikes us as not being such a victory after all:
 Headquarters Department of the Colum' bia. Camp Williams, Left Bank Of tue south Fork of Clear Water, near the Mouth oi Cottonwood. Idaho Territory, July l2th. via Walla Walla, July IA By making forced march I struck the enemy at 1 r.

Opened fire at once with a howitzer. and succeeded In starting the Indians from their position Passing around the canyon for a mile and 90 half, began the battle in good earnest, and di,mountiug, formed in the rayineS and be- hiad rock barricades, we'll prepared.

This afternoon l gave our lines to the care of Captain Perry, com manding the cavalry, and Captain Miles battalion of infantry, and drew out Captain Miller's battalion of artillery, acting as in- fantry. Just as we were ready to recom- mence offensive work, Captain Jackson, with pscktrain. appeared in sight beyond the Indian position. Miller pushed out in skirmish order, met the train and escorted it in successfully. They had hardly formed a junction with us when the artillery battal- ion, already beyond the enemy's flank, made q rapid movement, taking the Gatling guns and the howitzer along. The Indians made one desperate effort to flank Miller, but failed, and then gave way. Everything was then pushed in pursuit We shclled them rapidly from the high bluffs as they escaped from the left bank of the river, and followed them as they escaped in every direction as far as the river, and are now across and go- ing into camp at : 30 r. NJ. The losses of the Indians appear 10 be l3 killed and quite a large number wounded. We have Captain Bancroft, Lieutenant Williams and II enlis- ted men killed, and 2i wounded. Their camps were abandoned in great haste, lcay- ing much plunder. The Indians fought as well as any troops ever saw, and so did ours. not a man failing in his duty. l now believe that I am in fine condition, just as soon as Gordon appears from Boise, to make thorough work with these Indians.

The War in Idaho.

PORTLAND, July 14.-NewS to the follow ing effect was received here to-day from Walla Walla, dated July l3:
 On the 10th instant Joseph and his band surprised party of thirty-one Chinamen. who were coming down the Clearwater in canoes, and for mere pas,ime and recreation inhumanly killed the whole party but one. who managed to elude them and escape. These are the first Chinamcn who have been molested by the Indians of late, and many of them are frightened out of their senses and are leaving for the upper country.
 In letter dated July 1lth, Leland of Lewiston, says the enemy's operations have been about 75 to 100 miles in the rear of General Howard. The movements and ma nuvering of the latter are too slow. and ,Jo- seph Is smart enough to take advantage of them and flank him all the time. The gen eral impression here is that the hundred Flathead Indians that General Howard had reports of, as going to join Joseph, were Ka- mia reservation Indians.
 The Governor of Montana says the Flat heads are going east on their annual buffalo hunt towards the Yellowstone.
