the successful passage'by tho Turks of|
’the Danube dt four places, and their con- j
sequent occupation of Kalafuf. Giurgcvo,
'Oltenitzn, and Kaldrnclj, on the Jeft bank
of the river. ‘
' The suggestion wo were the first to
throw out, that a corps do reserve of tho
.Tarks might pass tho river down,
but farther north, hi Brailow or ( J3alalz,
appears to bo generally 'credited by tho
Paris papers, nnd'thc result'is believed to
bo that the retreat'of tjie Russians into
Moldu vin has been completely cut off.—
At Oltenitza, t|io carnage seems to have
teen verjL’great, no fewer than 2000 Rus
sians, including a largo number of supe
rior officers, having been killed and wound-
ed. But at which precise encountor this
ilaugh’ier took place is scarcely known,
is u successsion oT bloody engagements,
from tho 4th ta the 11th of November,
were fiercely contested, the Turks in the
eDd remaining masters of the road of Bu-
charest.
' At Giurgcvo, a similar struggle for
mastery took place, the Turks remaining
*n possession’ of the island opposite llic
town by the last accounts. But, in addi
tion to these successes, wo learn that the
Turks have uctually passed Bueha/cst,
that the town was in flames in three places,
and tho Russians in Inst retreat on Cron
etadt, their reteat into Moldavia being cut
off. 'lf this latter news should turn out to
Bo tftte, and that the Turks havo actually
'dfriven tho main body of the Russians over
the hills into Austrian Transylvanian,
Omar Pacha will have achieved a glorious
campaign. It is said that 15,000 Turks
havo proceeded by way of Scrvia, tound
the foot of tlic bills, tocut off their retreat,
which will effectually test the vaunted
neutrality of tho Austrians.
' However, if the Russians are well beat
en* in 'Moldavia, it will sting the Czar to
ihadncss, and very serious results must
follow. Whether the Turks, in the long
iVfr, can maintain their ground against the
ftiisdiah hordes which will bo brought in- 1
fothO field againsf them, must be matter for
Conjecture. At any rate, all accounts
Concur that the Russians'have been wors
ted‘up to this time, and reinforcements
are coining up from Shumla to enable
Omar Pacha to keep his ground, if not to
overwhelm tho cnomv. The Sultan him
sblf,~also, has declared his intention of
proceeding to Adrianoplc, there to buckle
'ph his sword, and to place himself at
the head of his army. His subjects', how
ever, need it'mriulus to range under his
"banner, as, in Asiatic Turkey, every man
itnpnble of be'armg nrriis is ip the field ;
nrjd on the' RuSsian frontier, when tho
Ciihcacus touches Turkey, the Ottomans
have seized upon many strongholds, and
hnve, it is generally believed, been us vie
toffous over the Russians in Asia us
Omer Pnclm has been in Europe.
' Count WoronzofT is represented ns be-j
ipg exceedingly pressed by the multitqo of
his enefnics, and has sent the most urgent
'entreaties for reinforcements. Whatever
successes the Turks may gain in Asia,
fliey have resolved, it is said, to keep on
t|ie south of the Kuban River. The fort
ofChekwelit, taken by the Turks on the
/28lh x>( October, contained 2000 muskets,
four cannon, and 1060 men, A small
Turkish squadron is cruising in the Black
£ea. There were only two British and
two French lino of battle ships lying off
'Jrhcrapia on the 7th instant. The remain
der of the fleets were id the Dardanelles,
new project of noto, under existing cir
cumstances, is obviously an absurdity.
‘ Up to the time wo write, uo authentic
confirmation has reached us of the butlln
'ift Bdcharest, with, the complete defeat of
>h« Russians, as above stated ; but the ac
counts of the 9th, from the scat of war,
state that tho Turks havo already passed

we learn that Prince GortschakofT had re

British steamer Fury brought to Constan

note, The Porte, howover, declined to
consider if, and it was therefore wiih
! drawn.
More comprehensive proposals, it is said
havo been prepared at Paris, by Napoleon.
It is said the Count Nulewski, tho French
Minister at London, had returned from
Paris with n draft of this treaty, agreed
to by England and France; and the other
powers were to bo,invited to jdin.
If the' Austrian stnlcrhcnts mnv be be
lieved, the Czar has replied, in answer to
an inquiry of Austria, that he will pronoso
n project of pence. Tho Sultan isNipid,
also, to be equally disposed to come'tp
terms, but will not be the first to retract.
He has, however, sent Fnud Eflendi ns
imperial commissioner to the army, on the
Danube, to’ restrain tho ardor of Omar
Pacha, and thus gives diplomacy another
chance.
Tho present position of military affairs
is stated thus :
Omar holds a strong position at Ivalnfut
with 40,000 men, and is fortifying him
self in the strorgest manner in the triangle
between Kalafnt, Krngoon and Mnrobtn,
thus securing a communication with both
banks of tho river, and having a base of
operations to act in Lesser Wallnchin.

Greensburg amounts to just nothing at all,
nnd seems to bo so viewed by. almost the
entiro Democratic press of the State.
Westmoreland instructed her delegates
to vote against Gov. Bigler’s first nomin
ation, nnd s,ho had a 'clear right to in
struct against his re-nomination if she hod
seen proper to do so, but tho body select
ed for the purpose of choosing delegates,
having failed to give any instructions, they
are free to act just ns they please—and as
[they voted for Col. Bigler at Rending,
! when positively instructed to vote against
himi' it will not be hard Tor them now to
vote for him when led to the discretion of
their own will, nnd wo trust for their own
i character and the character of their coun
itv, they will do so, although its not at all
[essential to his success; for no matter
I what course the dclcgntcs from Westmorc
j land may adopt, Gov. Bigler will be re
j nominated by an almost unanimous vote,
• just ns certainly ns the ncxtStntc Conven
, tion is permitted to meet in ' Harrisburg;
| nnd he will be elected by a majority about
| equal to that of Judge Knox —say forty
i thousand.
But there is no good reason for any
hostility towards Gov. Bigler by any por
tion of !hc Democracy of Westmoreland,
(a fact which seems to have taken full
possession of tho minds of the Democ
racy in all sections of the Commonwealth,)
and tho generous impulses which, in years
gone by, have characterized tho actions
of the noble Democrats of tho sterling co.
should again be permitted to resumo their
place in the hearts of a people heretofore
hold up as a model in tho calendar of po
litical virtue nnd integrity.
Wo lovo “old Westmoreland”—we
love her Democracy —and if those who
have very unkindly and unjustly assailed
the Governor, in the absence o(--a single
justifiable cause, will honestly reason with
their own hoards, and consult their sound
judgment, instead of allowing their pas.
siohs to control their thoughts, we feel sat
isfied they will retraco their steps, and thus
receive tho hearty commendations of their
brethern.in all.sections pf pur glorious old
Commonwealth.
Gov. Bigler is as strong in tho afflic
tions of the people as any other Chief j
Magistrate over was—his official actS|
have been in entiro accordance with the I
pledges ho mado the pooplo when ennvas
iSing the Stato, a duty which ho executed
j with an ability which few men possess—
I his personal amiability has made him a'
favorite with all cldssos—and, although!

burg Argus, ia “sorry that tho Govornor]

I that Old Westmorelnnd will give him her!

a man a fool, who after tho thirtieth year,
of his age, consnlted physicians respect

attention, must before that period havo

Great ago is equally uncommon in the
royal and princely families of 'modem
times. We must, however, except tho
kings of France, of the house of Bourbon,
two of whom, who succeeded each other,
attained the age of 70.
Frederick 11, the great prinqe, one of
the most important instances in modern
times, must not bo here omited. Ho was
great even in what related
to his medicine. He not only attainedto
an age very rare in kings—that of sevon
ty-six, but, what is still of greater weight,
attained to it amidst a life more exposed to
care, labor and fatigue, than that perhaps
of any other man who ever existed, as ho
spent twenty years of it in active war,
during which ho submitted to nil the toils
ofa common soldier ; but with this differ

The Railroad War at Eric
Tho latest ndvices from tho Lake, in;
dicatcs that the gauge war is still ragipg,
and the travel by railroad between thq
Ohio,and New York State lines has been
cut off, and passengers are carried round
the city of Eric in stages. Several bridg
es have been destroyed to such an extent
as to render them useless, whilst tho rails
have been removed from tho track in var
ious places by the populace. What is to
bo the end of this business it is difficult to
I determine, but wo are informed by a geit
[tlcman recently from the scene of action
I that tho people are singularly unanimous l
'in the determination to prevent tho' charge
of gauge, and acting in concert as they
are, or in support of authorities of the city,
it is by no means likely that they will
| yield their point.
It will also bo seen by a telegraphic dis
patch that an application is to bo made to
the Supreme Court for an injunction a
gainst the Franklin Canal, or Lake Shoro
road. It will bo remarked however, that
this company propose a change in tlievc
track, the actual war being confined on
tho part of tho railroad interests to tho
Erio.and northeast company, whoso road,
runs from Erio to the New York Statp
line.— Daili/ News.
