LONDON, Friday, June Is, 1877.
A special dispatch to The Times from Vienna says:
letter from Belgrade coming from a good source,
saws the reorganization of the forces is all but COM
plete In the active army only men have been taken
who are drilled and have seen service Others have
been enrolled i'm the secondcass reserves. The for
1ner are toerably well armed with breech-loaders.
The guns which were hidden in the ground at Alexi-
natz and Other places to be safe from the Turks
have all been recovered and made efficient. The
repairing of old and the construction of new FORTH
cations have been going on vigorously, especially
over all the Tmok country. The line of the Danube
in that direction has received special attention.
Gladova has been made quite strong intrenched
position as has also KaduJevats. at the confluence OF
the Timok and the Danube. The works generally
are not armed but guns and ammunition stored
in station to the rear so that they may he brought
forward as soon as wanted. There stores and
provisions collected in more exposed places, which
are kept intact despite the wants of the population.
In the Timok district the militia have not been
called out except for the usual dril but all have
been warned to be ready at the first summons The
members of the Service Corps have received similar
warning.
Reuter- Vienna dispatch says the Vienna Polit-
cal Correspondence publishes the following "A Bel

under any circumstances. Her neutral attitude will
be declared in express terms in a speech from the
throne at the opening of the skuptschina"

The Standard has special from Pesth which
states that the Porte, fearing Servia will conclude
a convention permitting the passage of Russian
troops has decided TO occupy the principal positions
in SeryIa." This is very doubtful as all kinds of
anti-Russian rumors are current in Pesth.

A FIELD FOR RETIRED OFFICERS.


ATTORNEY GENERAL DEvENs DECIDES THAT THEY
MAY HOLD CIVIL OFFICES AND DRAW TWO
SALARIES
lBY TELEGRAPH TRTBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, June 15.-An opinion OF con-
siderable importance the Treasury and OF interest to
the retired list OF the army has been given by
Attorney General Deyens. 1t opens the way for such
officers to hold civil appointments and to draw salaries
for two positions Tne is that Of Capt Myers OF
Ohio who IS retired captain Of cavalry with pay OF
81 500 year. He appointed Assistant DISTRICT
Attorney Cleveland, the salary OF that office being
$500 He elected to take this instead OF his retired
pay. Subsequently the salary Of this flee was reduced
to 81 800, and he applied to the War Department to
know whether he could draw both his civil and military
salary Secretary McCrary held that the statutes plainly
prohibited any officer from drawing two salaries from
the Government, but Capt. Myers was also serving
under the Department OF Justice 1t thought proper
to give the Attorney Generalan opportunity to pass upon
the ease. Judge Devens has given formal opinion 10
the effect that a retired officer hold civil office by
appointment and draw both salaries. The exceptions he
names are in cases elective offices and positions III the
consular and diplomatic service This decision. 1t is eX-
pected will induce number OF retired officers to apply
for petty civil positions.

ANIL VALLEY.

Leaving lTr. Eldred we turHed about face,
crossed the Jefferson again and travelled up
the west bank Of Ruby river, coming down
into the valley at w. K. Thomas & Bros
farm. These gentlemen have o most eX-
cellent and we'll improved farm, beside a
herd of stock. Having ad good success
last year in raising a large crop, they are in
good cheer over the prospects of raising
another, and are planting more acres.
A fow miles above here we halted at the
house of j. G. Jones, who also has a good
location. He, too, is engaged In the stock
business to some extent, besides farming,
which he is carrying on very successfully.
In his stable we looked at a very fine stall
ion. He was sired by one OF PoindeXter y
Orr's blooded stations, and has few superb
ors in the way Of make up to be found in
this section.
Next upon orr road was the Montana
Soap Works, owned and operated by MIR. j..
2. Nelson. These works are near the Silver
Springs Touring mills, and is a good loca-
ton for the business. Mr.. N. has machin-
cry of the capacity, we believe, to manufac-
ture 100 pounds OF soap per day, but on ac-
count of the scarcity Of tallow, the princi-
pal ingredient, he is not running to the full
capacity. His soap is a No. article and
finds ready purchasers as fast as it is made.
On Sunday afternoon we continued our
journey still further up Ruby, and paid a
visit to our friend and countryman, M. L.
Boatinan, whose pleasant home is some
three miles above the Silver Springs mill.
Mr.. b. is a farmer of the true type and has
a splendid location. He is also engaged to
some extent in stock-raising, his herd num-
bering several hundred head of cattle, and
taken altogether, they may be, classed
among the best lot of stock i'll this section.
Prince Albert, thoroughbred bull, the lead
err of his herd, was sired by the late Kansas
Clay, owned and imported from kentucky
by McGregory, Seadman & Co. For beau
ty of form and good size, age considered.
we have not seen a better animal in this Vi
cinity. We spent the evening at MIR. Boat
mans, and a more pleasant n we do not
remember to have seen ton many a day

DOWN THE

After a stay of a day and a half at sheri-
dan. which time we passed pleasantly in
meeting many of the good citizens of thae
place and enjoying the comforts of the first
class hotel there, we turned our course
down the valley.
First upon our route was Mr.. Dennis Sui
liyan, who has u good hay farm two, miles
west of Sheridan, and the next is the spen-
Gid farm of MIR. j.. Bitney. Besides cuiti-
waiting a large tract of land, Mr.. B. has a
considerable herd of cattle, and other farm
stock. Near MI. Bitney is Mr.. c.. Christian

IS. 1t is high, level and dry, and can all be
cultivated with ease. Mr.. j. b. Smith. a

The long talked Of war between Russia
and Turkey has at length begun in earnest.
The Russian army is advancing in great
force upon the Turkish Empire, several bat
ties have been fought, and general engage
ment is expected soon. Turkey will be the
battle ground, which gives that power large
" the best of it, and was, perhaps, one 1ea-
son of Russia's reluctance to begin the hight.
AS to which will be victorious, it would be
hard to predict. Russia has the army, Iur-
KEY has the navy. C~onstantinople, the cap
ital Of the ottoman Empire, upon which
Russia has set her avaricious designs, must
be approached by water, and to attack. ana
capture it one of the most formidable navies
upon the high seas must be encountered and
vanquishcd. Turkey has unlimited credit
in England, and her drafts will be honored
on sight. What effect the opening OF hos
tilities will have upon the Powers OF Europe
cannot be devined. for the connection which
chains together the nations of the Old World
together are so subtle that to hazard an
opinion would be akin to recklessness. BE
this as it may, the United States will gain an
immense control of the and car
rving trade OF the world, should the war
continue any length OF time, and reap a rich
harvest.
