MOVEMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN RIGHT WING.
ERzERouy. Nav THE Russian right
wing is marching through Genles and Tchll-
der. evidently with the purpose. unless pre-
vented by the Turks. of passing the second
Turkish line OF defence ut Soghaule. The

and OF the manGuvres OF the LEFT wing,

WAR NOTES.
A Pcsth dispatch to the Standard says
that in order not to afford an occasion to
Austria to depart from her neutrality COM
manders have received orders not to cross
the Danube near kalafat, nor to join any
where with the Servian army. For the
same reason the Car has notified Montene-
gro that she must remain on the defensive
in Herzegovina. Servia intends to revoke
the order for modelling her militia because
such Il step would be likely to provoke
Austria.
The news OF the defeat OF the Russians at
Batoum, with the capture OF three guns, Is
confirmed. Everything, however, tends to
show that the Russians are very strong in
Asia, and likely to advance quickly.
Moullhtar Pasha maintains commtnlca-
ton with Kars.
The Russians seem to be waiting for re-
Inducements. Fresh troops and krupp
guns are daily landing and going forward
from Trebizond.
Adviccs have reached st. Petersburgh
that the bombardmcnt Of kars commenced
yesterday. An assault is expected to-day.
Grand Duke Nicholas is expected to reach
Bucharest on the 10th.
The King of Abpssinia has again de-
clarcd war against the khedive. Other
events prevent the khediye from giving
further assistance to the Porte.
The Turkish gunboatS. had driven the
Russians back below GorlotZ, and tae Turks
are greatly elated. :.
The Russian camp was ignited by shells.
1t is reported that Russia made direct
proposition to Romania for direct ALI
ance.
Rumors gain strength that kars has fallen.
The latest Russian official notes, however,
do not report it.
The Turkish Senate has approved the bill
for the proclamation siege.
Beckett was shelled by the Turks yester-
day evening. Bash Bazouks plundercd
the neighboring villages at the same time,
and returned with their spells across the
Danube.

DEADLOCK IN LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
COLUMBIA, May lowing to the refusal
of the Sepate, which is Republican, to go
into election Of Chief Justice until the
House has admitted all the members of the
late Mackey House, complete deadlock so
far rs that matter is concerned has resulted.
There is no telling when the election will
be held.
A resolution was introduced in the Senate
to-day providing for an investigation OF AS
sociate-Justice Willard, who is now the most
prominent candidate for Chief Justice.
This move is looked upon solely as an at
tempt to throw a shadow on his record,
which may affect certain members OF the
Legislature.
The investigations OF Senator'S White
more and Nash and Clerk Of the Senate
Woodruff are progressing rapidly. and the
committee expect to make report this
week.

Editors Of The Dispatch:
! have lust come in from the mountains,
and have only five minutes to talk to you.
Nv last letter to YOU was from Cheyenne. |
have not received the Dispatch, but am
looking for it every day.
4 few words about the Black Hills. This
is wonderful country, and the mountains
arc full of gold. No doubt OF this. have
seen It and do see it every day. But it re-
uuircs capital, and tins we have not got. a
few mines are working and doing we'll, but
hundreds are idle for the want OF money.
Thousands OF persons are arriving here
every dav. and | am very sorry to say that
they are doomed to great suffering and dis
appointments. Some will in all probability
starvc to death.
4 great many people are here from the
South, and some OF them would be back
home if they only could get there. have
no doubt that some arc on their way home,
travelling on foot. The average. number
arriving here is about 100 per day, and as
nine tenths OF them do not have over twenty
dollars apiece you can imagine how rich
they are. do not know what VIC shall do
with this class. The miners cannot keep
them, for it would take all their profits to
furnish food for such large number. II
any OF your readers have any idea OF coming
here Let me say that il they cannot command
$500 when they reach the city they had bet
ter stay at home. If any have money this
is a frst-ratc place to make more with it.
Two neutrality-suspicious. here yesterday
one man killed, one dangerously and one
slightly wounded. We expect to have
everything in working order as soon AS the
courts are organized. which will tie about
the It'll OF May. | may go on the next en-
petition to the Big Horn. Just as soon as
your paper comes to hand you may expect
To hear from me again. To all my friends
in Richmond / say do not wish for mo-
mcnt 10 come here. Goodbye.
