Turkiah VaInr.

The European and Christian races
every where, the races which account them
selves the greatest, wisest, and bravest OF
the earth, have watched with amazement
the spectacle ofinvalid and semi 'barbarous
Turkey contending on even terms with
gigantic and organized Russia.
At the outbreak of this struggle the
civilized world supposed that it would be
pitia0ly unequal; that, without the
assistance of some one of the great
powers, the Moslems would be crushed in
a single campaign; that the advantage of
the Muscovite armies would be little more
than a triumphal promenade. 1t was
commonly supposed that the superiority OF
Russia in soldierly disposition, intelligence,
and education at least equalled her advan-
tage in wealth and numbers. 1t had come
TO be an accepted credence, almost equiva-
lent to a military maxim, that Asiatic and
semi Aslatic troops could not stand before
Europeans.
We have seen enough during the summer
OF 1877 to lead us to question these beliefs.
Whatever may be the termination of the
contest, the Turkish generals have showed
formidable capacity, and the Turkish
soldiers have exhibited heroic courage
They have not only defended intrench'
ments with their historic tenacity, but
they have assaulted them with impetuosity
and sometimes with success. Embodied
they seem to be the equals of the Russians
and man to man, their superiors. What
is the meaning of this wonderful uprising
and resuscitation Of a people whom al
Europe looked upon as decadent and
illuminated?
The truth is that there has been nc
change in the character of the OttomaDs
We have not read their history thoroughly
and with discrimination. Arguing loosely
from their military disasters, we have not
done justice to their martial qualities
They nave always been brave, even il
their overthrows. Their most unfortunate
wars, the wrestles in which they have suf
fered defeat on defeat, have been illustrated
by signal instances of Eeroism such as the
most warlike nations might glory in. L
they have lost territory, it has never beer
through lack of valor. nor altogether from
want of good generalship, but mainly from
defect of preparatinn.-J. W. De FOREST
