Kars surrendered without defense.

Russians have had hundred heavy
siege guns operating against these
works, add have stuck to their task,
with the exception OF few weeks in
August, with great tenacity. The
capture of kars removee every obsta-
Gle in Armenia except Erzeroum and
Batoum, The former is not likely to
hold out long. as the Russians can now
rapidly reinforce Gen. Tergusakoff.
Batoum is strongly garrisoned by
Turks and is backed by the Turkish
fleet which could make the place I'M

The capture of Kars, however, goes q
long way toward the subjugation of
Turkish Armenia to Russian rule, and

JOHN TUCKER,
County Clerk

Gideon Wells, who was Mr.. Lin
coins Secretary OF the Navy, says III
the last GALAXY, that Mr.. Lincoln one
day handed him a sealed envelope, re-
questing him to write his name across
the back; one or two members of the
Cabinet had already done So There
was no explanation given then, but af-
ter the election, at a Cabinet meeting,
Mr.. Lincoln unsealed aud read this
document. 1t was dated August %,
1864, and said this: "This morning,
as for some DAYS past, it seems ex-
ceedingly probable that this admins
tration will not be reelected. Then
it will be my duty to cooperate with
the President elect so as to save the
Union between the election and the
inauguration, as he will have secured
his election OIL such grounds that he
cannot possibly save it aiierward."
This is, TO any thoughtful mind, one
of the most remarkable writings OF
A braham Lincoln. When George b.
Mcclellan reads it, he must fell an
emotion of the intensest gratitude
that he was never placed in the posi-
ton to test Mr.. Lincoln's service,
where he himself could not have
served either his own or his country's
interests.

Survey Of the Arkansas.

Thomas Ryan, Representative in
Congress from the third district OF
Kansas, introduced a bill in the House
on the morning of November Nth, to
provide for an examination and sur
vey of the Arkansas river from Fort
Smith, Arkansas, to the mouth Of the
Little Arkansas, in Sedgwick county,
Kansas, to ascertain whether 1t Is
practicable and what it will cost to
improve the same SO that it will be
suitable for the navigation of COM
mercial boats aud vessels. Mr.. Ryan
has been advised by men familiar
with the river that it is susceptible of
such improvement at cost not ex-
oeeding two hundred thousand dol
lars. Parties who have made the voy
age from this place to Little Rock say
the river can be made navigable at a
comparatively snali.expense.-Arkan-
