The remaining portions of Asia and
all central and western Africa, are terri
torially, politically and religiously
separated from the principal combat

around the accessible portion OF the
Turkish empire. But then every SUBJ
ject and tributary of the Porte, whether
religious or territorial, is soldier in
spirit and constitution, and In the vu-
raj districts, by practice Injured to hard
ship and privation, SO that, although
every seaport were closed they will,
from their internal resources (which
are very great be able to sustain the
conflict until actually overpowered. If
this could be done at all, would be a
question of soEe doubt. The hardi-
hood, bravery and obstinacy Of the fol
lowers OF Mohamet are proverbial the
world over. In our late civil war the dis
parity of numbers and resources was
equally as great as in the case now
spoken of. Yet the struggle for indie
pendence was energetically and doubt
fully contested during more than four
years.
In this eastern question the struggle
will be for actual existence, not for in
dependence. France and Prussia lately
met on very nearly an equal war foot
ing, and in about two years France was
forced to submit to humiliating terms.
So that late presidents are found near
ly to equiponderate. Yet we rather in
cline to the opinion that should the
Turks and their allies prove true to
their history they will, if necessary,
keep at bay, combined Europe, for a
number of years, and almost suffer ex
tinction rather than igponinious SUBJ
mission. And Americans of all pur-
suits would do we'll to prepare to reap
the benefits growing out of q protracted
Eastern war.

Admiral Porter and Gen. Sherman are
also said to concur in the opinion that
should the neutral States of Europe
continue to maintain this status, the
war lately inaugnrated must necessarily
be very protracted one, and although
very disastrous to all Europe, will GER
tainly rebound most advantageously to
the commercial, manufacturing, agri-
cultural and pastoral interests of this
country.
We do not pretend to predict as to
the duration or extent of this war, but
think it would be well to devote some
thought to the effects which may result
from it to the material interests of the
United States.
Russia takes the field ostensibly in
championship of the Scavcnic Chris
tian slbjects of Turkey as their natural
protrectress. The Ottoman Porte de-
tends itself from charges of oppression
by saying that Christians are among its
most valuable and attached citizens.
And recriminates by declaring that
many of the Faithful residing in Russia
are the objects of oppression from that
government.
The truth of these charges and coun-
tercharges is not matter to be con
but rather their effects upon
the Christian and Mohammedan worlds;
fol whether true or false, we may feel
sure that every means will be employed
Ivy either side to give the entire affair
religious coloring in order to suppress
jealousies, and stimulate sympathy on
the one side, and arouse zeal and appre-
tensions on the other, and however
well their neighbors may understand
the real grounds of hostilities, there
will be an exceeding great difficulty in
sympathetic action on either
side. And it is very questionable
such state of things as will
involve Europe, Asia and Africa in war
will tend to shorten the struggle on
hand or not. The vastness of it's COM
plications and embarrassing influences
will certainly tend to render the powers
more anxious for peace, and the re-
sources of WAR SO generally crippled,
will strongly plead to the same purpose.
But the ability on the one hand to die.
tate, and on the other to resist, will
have much to do with the closing Of the
