THE EUROPEAN WAR.
ST.. PAUL. July 7th.-The latest war
reports represent the Russian advance as
being half wayto Tiemova, which the
Turks seem to have. abandoned and after
ward reoccupied. The Turks are said to
be concentrating about Shumla, to take
the Russian advance in the flank. Thir-
ty thousand Turkish troops embark at
Trebigand next week to reinforce the
army in Armenia. The Turks are high
ly dissatisfied at the arrival of the Brit
ish fleet in Besika bay, and many regard
itsimply sign that England is prepar-
ing to seize her share Of plunder.
THE PRESIDENT .--sx5sz
is SO we'll satisfied that there is no further
need Of troops in the south, that he in-
tends shortly to issue orders withdrawing
all troops from that section, except thoss
for government duty. The
troops thus Withdrawn will be transferred
to the west or sent to the Rio Grande.
An order is already issued transferring
the
SECOND INFANTRY
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
News from Gen. Howard's camp on
Salmon river, to June goth, represent the
RETRRArING INDIANS
a day and half ahead of Gen. Howard,
who is following in hot pursuit.
There is no doubt that the state
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OF OHIO,
to be held next month, will adopt reso-
lutions endorsing the Presidents south
ern policy, and favoring remonetizing
silver, the latter receiving, probably, a
unanimous vote.
THE RUSSIAN WAR.
ST. PAUL, July oth.-Since the Rus
slams: Bulgaria their right flank
rests on the Danube, forcing the Turkish
line, from Rustchuk to Shumla.
GENERAL BATTLE
is shortly imminent unless the Turks
retreat to Balkous. The Russian forces,
numbering 10000 men coming through
Drabudecha are approaching the rear Of
the Turkish Rutschuck Shumla line.
This column is too strong to be opposed
by any force detached from the Turkish
main body without exposing its rear to
the Russians main force.
4-,-sze 4.'z OFFICIAL DISPATCHES
from Maj. Gen. Mcdowell give the
latest news OF the Idaho Indian outbreak,
from which it would appear that Joseph
has crossed the Salmon River and is
making east for the Bitter Root country,
with Gen. Howard at his heels and Capt
Whipple heading him off. Thus
HEMMED IN
he is on the point of breaking up. A
Walla Walla despatch Of the night Of
the 5th, states that Joseph
DEcoYRD GEN. HOWARD
across the Salmon river, then recrossed
and got on the Cottonwood between
Howard and Lapwai, within 80 miles OF
Lewiston. Earlier and unofficial lreports
from Lewiston represent that Whipple's
command and Randalps volunteers had
an engagement at Clear Greek with
Looking Glass, in which the Indian
camp was captured and burned, with
provisions and plunder, and the further
loss Of 1000 head of stock.
VICE PRES. WHEELER,
in conversation with. prominent New
York gentlemen, says he is not in accord
with the administration on the recent
civil service order. He believes in the
doctrine of selecting good men from the
party in power, and that these-mensso
selected should assist in maintaining the
organization and supremacy Of the repub-
lican party. He is further reported as
saying the order cannot be carried out
without breaking up the. Pparty,S and he
therefore opposes it. '''
