THE FALL OF kARS.


There is anothnr surprise in the
Eastern war. 1t is indeed, all the way
through war of surprises. This last
Is not by any means the least, or the
one which may lead to the fewest re-
suits. Rather, it is the most import
ant of all; and in it's indirect inhu
ences, it will very much shape the flu
tare of the campaign, if 1T does not
precipitate the conclusion of the war.
The announcement that Kars has
surrendered to the Russian assault
excites very mingled emotions
throughout Europe. 1t is glorious
victory for the Car. At CONSTANT
nople, we can readily imagine, the feel
ing is one ofchagrin and desperation;
whilst in Great Britain particularly
there must necessarily be degree of
apprehension. In military point of
view Kars has been regarded as the
KEY of Armenia, and. therefore, of the
most vital consequence to Turkey. 1t
was an almost impregnable fortress, or
rather series of fortresses surrounding
a citadel It's natural position was
strong; and this was made doubly so
by the vast works which have been
built upon it. There were forts, re-
doubts, and intrenched camps, all con-
nected by covered ways, and the whole
spstem of defense dominated abrupt
declivities I'm the one side and bare
slopes on tbs other. 1t was thus re-
garded as base of operations, and
as depot for supplies; and through
out the whole of this chequered cam
paign the Turks have boosted of
their ability to maintain possession
of it against all assaults.
The final. capture of Kars is the re-
suit of long siege, and of an I'M
doubtedly gallant assault at the last.
For several days, if not weeks, the po-
sition of the Turks has proved very
critical The rout of Mukht Pasha
at Aladia on the 18th ult. was SER
ious blow, and virtually decided by
authorization the fate of Kars 1t was
next to impossible that the besieged
could efectually guard with their
weakened forces every vulnerable
point. The Russians commenced the
assault on Saturday night, and after
twelve hours hard fighting they car
ried the place by storm, and became
undisputed conquerors. The Russian
loss in killed exceeds 1000, whilst
that of the Turks is reported at 5000,
with 10000 prisoners. In addition to
this 300 guns are taken, and vast mill
tary stores.
The victory not only weakens theil
forces, but it dispirits the Turks. In
the same degree it adds to the power
and prestige ofthe Russians, By this
victory the Ru slams virtually gain con
troll over Armenia, from Alexandropo
. to Erzeroum; and so completely are
they masters of tho latter city in thu
same way, or they may now wait leis
urely until spring and fair weather
dawn upon them. This event may BE-
regarded as marking another epoch il
; the history of the war; and it may b.
that the time has come when both bel
ligerents can honourably lay dow
their arms, and when Great Britain
and other friendly Powers may hop
for success in an effort at mediation
AS it appears to us, the effort SHOULD
be made. There has been enough Q
: blood, and of glory, too.

FLEMINGToN, Fla, April 1st, 1877.
Thinking it might be interesting to some Of
the readers of the ENQUIRER to hear from
this section Of the country, have concluded
to drop you short note. The people of this
State are now looking forward for better times
than we have enjoyed heretofore. Our po-
litical prospects will surely brighten with
Governor George F. Drew at the head of the
State government.
Although the winter just over has been the
most severe for years past, yet we have sus-
tanned but little damage from freezing wealth.
or. Some of the orange groves were injured
to some extent, though they we're not dam
aged enough to discourage the most tickle
owner. The fruit remaining on the trees at
the time of the frost, was frozen, and conse.
quently was ruined; but the larger number
of the trees were uninjured showing very
clearly that the orange tree can withstand
more severe weather than it usually has credit
for.
We were pleasedto meet your townsman,
Mr.. Morrison Whitaker, here the other day,
on his way South. He had with him some of
the iue horses that he exhibited at the Flori-
da fair. We were also pleased to have q
visit from Mr.. Stanhope Sadler and lady,
who have been spending the winter in this
State. learn they intend returning to York
Vile early this month.
The Spring is fully opened, and all nature
is clothed in fitting attire. The farmers are
very busy now with their crops. Corn and
cotton are ready to work. Labor is plentiful
and cheap. The farmers are paying more at
tention to vegetable and grain crops than
they have done heretofore, having concluded
that all cotton is a ruinous business Conse-
quently there is considerable decrease in
the amount of cotton planted, as compared
with last year. Our farmers are also turning
their attention to the cultivation of sugar
cane, which can be made profitable branch
of industry.
All early vegetables are now quite plenti-
ful--such as green peas, Irish potatoes, rad
ishes, cu:umbers, snap beans and all the ear.

not he equalled, much less surpassed. The
wise and far.seeing are fockiug to the Sunny
State as did the Israelites of old to "a land
