HOW THE RUSSIANS CROSSED THE
BALKAN MOUNTAINS.

On the 2lst of December General Gourko
began his preparations for crossing the
Balkans, and on the 25th the Russian force
marched in two columns from Orkhanie.
But as the Turks had thrown mp strong
works commanding the direct road to Sofia
through the Orkhanie pass, the Russian
General determined to turn their positions
by using a mountain path, to the west Of
that paes, which leads down to the village
Tschurjan, on the southern slope of the
Balkans. This proved tremendous un-
dertaking but it was successfully accom-
plisbed. The village of Tschurjan was
first occupied by detachment of Astra-
khan dragons who kept Turkish recon
noiterers at o distance. Then the sappers
set to work to turn the path into practi-
cable road, but on the southern side of the
mountains they could only work at night
for fear of being seen by the enemy. For
four days they labored at the road, which
by the 25th was reported TO be ready for the
passage of nine Founders. But on the
previous day there had been a severe
snow- storm, and the road had become 30
slippery with ice that steps had to be cut
to enable the men to drag up tho guns.
However, the heads of the columns soon
arrived near the crest of the mountain,
behind which they remained concealed.
But the descent was the greatest difficulty,
and, as it could only be effected under the
cover of darkness, it took long while.
The guns had to be let down from tree to
tree by ropes, and the limbers and ammu-
milton boxes were let down empty, the men
carrying the ammunition in their hands, 80
that although the advanced guard reached
Tschurjsn on the 9th, it was not till the
3lst that the whole force was concentrated
at that point. Six days had been occupied
in marching only twelve miles. The other
column, under General Weljaminoff, which
had started from Vratshesh, met with still
nhataplaa the having ha
dismounted and placed on sledges, and in
the act of crossing the mountains it receiv-
ed orders to change it's direction, as it had
been ascertained Dy a reconnaissance that
the Turks had fortified a new position at
Tashkesena, which commanded the line of
march, and had to be attacked. This
column also was accordingly brought down
to Tachurjan, and on the 31st q combined
attack was made on the works at Tash-
kesena, and the Turks we're driven out of
them. The Ottoman army at Kamarli was
thus completely cut off from Sofia, and
Shakir Pashs, who succeeded Mehemet Ali
in the command at the frst-named place,
was obliged to retreat.

HORRORS OF THE SIBERIAN QUICK
SILVER MINES.
Pail Mall Gazette.

The exiles who live in the mines are con-
victs Of the worst type and political
offenders of the best. The murderer for
his villainy, the intelligent Polish rebel for
his patriotism, are deemed equally worthy
of the punishment of slow death. They
never see the light of day, but work and
sleep all the year round in the depths of
the earth, extracting silver OF quicksilver
under the eyes of taskmasters who have
orders not to spare them. Iron gates,
guarded by sentries, close to the lodes, OF
streets, at the bottom of the shafts, ard
thesminers are rallied off from one another
in gangs of twenty. They sleep within
recesses hewn out of the rock-very ken
nels-into which they must creep on all
fours. Prince Joseph Lubomirski, who
was authorized to visit one of the mines of
the Oural st time when it was not sus-
pected he would ever publish an account
of his exploration in French, has given an

4 SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE LATE WAR
N. Y. Sun.

Among the recently published contrib0-
tions toward the history of our civil war
one is of exceptional Importance. We refer
to the volume entitled -Four Years With
Gen. Lee, by Walter 81. Taylor lAppleton's)
The author occupied the position of con-
fidential staff officer with Gen. Lee during
the entire period of the war for Southern
independence. It is not surprising, there
fore, that some facts not of public record
concerning the commander of the army
of Virginia, and the movements directed
by him, should be known to Col. Taylor.
These interesting recollections are set forth
with q compression and felicity which
require NO apology on the score of literary
inexperience. The statements here made
of the strength of Lees army at verious
is likely to surprise q good many people,
and is not calculated to magnify the merit
of come Northern commanders. Yet We
do not see how the figures set down in this
vo' ume can be impugned. Col. Taylor, for
long time, supervised the preparation OF
the official returns for the army of Northern
Virginia, and having been permitted to
make a recent examination of those records,
which are now on file in the archives of the
War Department at w ashfpgton, he is
enabled to speak with confidence of the
numerical strength of the Confederate
| forces.
| 1t appears, for instance, from the returns
on file in the War Department, that at the
battle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg, Gen.
Lees entire strength was 35, ,255. On the
other hand, Gen. Mcclellan in his official
report states that he had in action in the
same engagement 1000 of all arms. Yet
the latter affirmed that on the morning G
after the battle he found his loss was so
great and there was so much disorgaui-
cation in some of his commands that he
did not consider it proper to renew the
attack. Passing to the battle of Gettye-
burg, we learn that the Confederate forces
did not exceed 62 900 of all arms whereas
Gen. Hooker telegraphed to Gen. Halleck
on June %, just before Gen. Meade as:
sumed command, that his force of enlisted
men amounted to 5000, which would
make his total effective (including officers.
T 1l2 600. The disparity of forces seems tC
, have been far greater after Gen. Grant
took command of the Northern army. Ir
Z view of these facts, which are established
on apparently impregnable evidence, il
certainly looks as if the futnre historian
would be constrained to make short worl
z of certain military regulations.
l. If, as Colonel Taylor plainly believes
II the Confederate army of Virginia was al
o timately crushed by sheer weight, the
o credit of the exploit would seem to belon!
8 to the War Secretary, who organized ant
l. continually recruited the Northern forces
n and not to the commander in the field
8 who conducted operations on the principle
10 Of sacrificing two men for one. 1t is
Il satisfaction to learn that ample documen
tary evidence is in existence, aud tina
the whole truth about the conduct of tn
Ia late war will one day be known.
