THE EASTERN WAR.

From present developments the

No very great effort seems to have
been made to storm Kars, but,
leaving force to invest it, the in
vaders are pressing on toward Err

strongly fortified town on the Eu-
pirates. Erzeroum will doubtless
he treated as Kars has been, and
Constantinople itself aimed at.
In England excitement h S
greatly increased. Heavy iron =
clads are being Put to sea, and
every indication goes to show
that, if Russia should aim to
press the war to point, or in a
manner to leave the Gar master
of Constantinople, England will
join Turkey and make common
cause with her. The Black Sea
and Constantinople would enable
Russia to dominccr the MCditerras
mean, which is Eugland's road to
India, and England intends that
none but weak power shall hold
them. Austria is the scene of
great discomfort. She does not
mean to see Roumsnia and the
mouth of the Danube appropriated
by Russia. Prussia and France
are crouohed and glazing into each
others eyes.
The situation is very grave, and
Russia will have to move with
great caution and supreme wisdom
if all Europe shall net engage in
the bloodiest work OF modern times.

An Extra Session of the Legis-
laIure,

The Richmond DIsPATCH says
Auditor Taylor declares an extra
session necessary. The Virginia
PATRON says the Treasury is empty
of all save tax-receivable coupons,
and, there being six hundred thous>
and more of these to mature July
LIST, renders an extra session indis~
pcnsable. These are the only der
clarations we have seen that look
to or foreshadow the necessity for
an extra session. What the real
nature of the agitation OF the mats
ter may be we have no other means
of knowing, nor can tell what
remedy is proposed that an extra
session could adopt. There may
be some balk in the Punch bill, or
some pressure for the Clifton Forge
connection, behind it all. Of one
thing we are very certain--the
funderS are responsible for the
empty treasury, and unless they
mean to lower their flag, there is
no other remedy but to increase
the rate on property, AMI this we
are very certain the people of the
State are not going to submit to,
and their legislators are not going
to attempt it.
