As yet there has been no
heavy fighting .between the hos
tile forces. But what has been
accomplished, has been invari
ably in favor of the Russians.
Whether it is to boa repetition
of the late Franco-Prnssiau
war, or whether the children
of the prophet will be able to
check the tide that seems to
have set in against them, would
be hard to determine. JPS
The Mussulman is notwith
out a record as a soldier. In
former wars the Turks have ex
hibited a fair Ehare of those
qualities which go to make up
the soldier bigotry and fanati
cism, with unbounded pride in
the traditions ot the prowess ot
his aucestors. If this spirit is
not yet extinct, the sick man,
so called, may yet give the
Russian bear his hands full?
A good deal has been said
about the chance of Russia's
having trouble with her Polish
subjects. All that is mere twad
dle. Poland, or that part of it
held by Russia, is too complete
ly crushed, and too completely
in the power of her conqueror,
to give the successors ot Peter
the Great any trouble. The
Poles havo heard .too much of
the rigors ot the climate of Si
beria, and thev havo seen too
many of their countrymen con
signed to its merciless winds
tor them to attempt to shake ofi
the Rursian yoke.
It js not likely however, that
Western Europe will quietly

The next morning after the
pleasant interview with your F.,
in the flourishing city of Bren
ham, we, that is my wife and
self, took the South bound train,
and in forty hours were safe and
sound among loed and loving
friend, in our own home iii
this far awry land. Wc were
detained some tour horn's on
the way making connections at
different points; so that our
actual travelling time did not
exceed thirty-six hours. The
distance travelled is 535 mles,
bntas the crow flies, it is only
350 miles from this "place to
Hrcnham.
Shakspearc sa33:
There is a Divinity tliat sLapesronr
eii'l.,
Iiougli, lievr tliera how w e may;
and my experience demonstrates
it trnth, for after living so many
years in your beautiful and pro
ductive country, 1 find myself
tied down as it were, here in a
very poor and barren region
where uard work is required to
force from reluctant soil a bare
subsistence. When the war
came on I was established in
business in New Orleans, there,
in my opinion, is the most de
sirable place" to live in on this
continent. Wheu the Yankees
made it unwholesome for me to
remain there, I took refuge in
the piney woods of Mississippi,
the laud of my birth and rais
ing, where fate and an exten
sive professional practice, which
could not be easily closed, con
fine me still.
I must confess, that as lonij as
I had lived in your State, I 'had
not formed a due appreciation
ot it until my late visit, when
the great contrast it presented
to the section in. which I havo
spenfthe last dozen vears forced
it npon-nie. Here tlie vision is
bounded by immense pine for
ests on every hand; the trees, to
use a Miltonian phrase, being
fit for the mast of some high
'admiral. One fresh from the
prairies- almost breaks off his
neck with constantly looking up
at their immense height. The
country is well watered and
healthy. We have good society
and all the commercial advan
tages that could be desiied, be
ing on the New Orleaus, Jack
son and Great iNorthern Kail
road eighty miles from the
former city. The soil, original
ly thin, has by long and slovenly,
tillage been pretty" well exhaust
ed, and paying crops can only
be raised by the extensive use
of fertilizers. Hence a great
many persons wish to leave here
in order to better their condi
tion. I have had time to do
but little else since my return
home but reply to application
for information about Texas
Scores of honest hard working
families, the bone and sinew of
a county, could be induced to
emigrate by imparting to them
correct information of the ad
vantages Texas affords, desirable
localities, and the mode ot get
ting there. I feel in conscience
bound to do all I can for them
in this respect; and if I could
wind up my business here I
should not bo long in putting
myself again under the juris
diction of the Lone Star State.
I have made arrangements to
visit Texas again in next July,
when I hope-to find the editor.

Accumulation of (ioiil.
WashingteD sp-cial to X. Y. Tribune.
About 40,000,000 worth of
gold,ha3 been coined in the
mints of the United State3 since
the first of July. Adding to
.this the amount of silver coin
age during the same period, the
aggregate will be greater than
the amount ot coinage ever done
in the United States mints in
the same length ot time since
their organization. The onlj
years during which the amount
of work was nearly as great
as were two or three immedi
ately succeeding the discovery
of gold in California and Aus
tralia; aud even iu those years
the number ot pieces actually
made was much smaller than
during the present, as the great
er portion of the gold "then
coined was made into double
eagles, while during the present
year an immense quantitj of
silver coins has been turned
out. The accumulation of gold
in the United States during tho
current year will probably be
greater than during any pre
vious year of its history. This
country is not only retaining all
the gold produced, between
40,000,000 and 50,000.000,
but iu the first eight months of
the present fiscal year our im
portatioiw of gold and silver ex
ceeded the exportations bv about
4,000,000. From present in
dications it would not be sur
prising if the amount of gold
and silver accumulated inlhis
country during the presentyear
from production and import
should amount to hill v 800,000,
000, or more than tlie amount
sent out of the country during
the 3 ear 1SC2, as a result ot tho
suspension of specie payments.
