The Foreign News.
The intelligence, by the America, „is thet'most
important received for many weeks. It annoonces
the official declaration of war; the rise of Boer;
the strenuous attempts of the Russians to resist Sir
Charles Napier; and the cossing of the Danube,
by the army of the Czar, in order to strike $ decis
ive blow before the arrival of the Sultan's Western
allies.
The latter, taken all in all, is the most important
(tithe whole. We have intelligence from the thea
tre of war up to the 301 h ?of Match. We have in
formation that the French and E relish troops will
not teach the seat of action before the lst of May.
An interval of five weeks consequently remains, in
'which the Turks will have to bear, unassisted. the
entire weight of the Russian invading army. What
the exact strength of the army is, we have, at pre
seat, no means of determining But the Czar ltas
had the whole winter in which to collect it, and he
has knoirn that a blow, to be decisive, must be
struck at the first opening of spring, we fear that it
is larger than the Turks can manage, for brave as
the Ottomans are. the) wilt not be able to make a
stand against overwhelming masses. It is with
many misgivings, therefore, that we await the re
sult.
Indeed, the only reliance we have, for the re•
pulse of the Russians, is in the probable inetlicien•
cy of their general. and the possible comparative
scantiness of their forces. With able leaders, and
even slightly superior numbers, the campaign
might be almost finished in these five weeks. It
took but little more time for Napoleeir to humble
Austria at Ansterlitz, and break up a coalition
against him as formidable as that of the Western
powers now. But we count something on the im•
possibility of the Czar having been able, in conse
quence of the winter roads, to concentrate a se&
ciently large army on the Danube; and we count
more matte interiority of the Russian generals to
'those of the Sultan. We rely most, however, on
the trubborn courage of the nuke, always a.relia
ble element to a certain degree, but especially re•
liable now, when the importance of gaining time,
in order that the French and English . - may arrive,
will be felt even by the common-soldiers. In ad
dition, there are several fortresses on,the route of
the invaders, besides mountain passes, that a great
ly inferior force can make good. Moreover, the
allies have the control of the Black Sea, so that the
flank of the invaders, if they move along the coast
route, will be exposed, while, being unable to ob.
lain supplies by water,lhey will have to weaken
their force with ports and garrison, in order to keep
up communications with their rear.
For the imminent danger in which the Turks are
thus placed, England and Fiance, especially the
former, are responsible. The game, which Nicho
las is now playing, was futeseen by every saga.
CiOtIS man. Again and again, it was said, that the
Czar was only manceuvering to gain time, and that
as soon as the season opened, he would make a
dash at Con-tantinople, in hopes to capture it be
fore the arrival of the Sultan's allies. It was urged
on England, by the whole civilized world, so to
speak, to act promptly, in order to render certain
the frustration of ihts plan. Ever) where it was
declared that, if the Western troops did not reach
Turkey by the last of April, losses might be sus
tained by the Porte such as would be fatal to the
Ottoman Empire, But, to the face of all this
England has dallied: and lo! now, the threatened
results. _
The Turks may yet save themselves. Envelop.
ed as they are are by perils, we have yet faith in
them ;• convinced of the tremendous risk, we yet
feel as if they would prevail. They have to hold
the Russians in check for five weeks only. Leoni
das, with but a paltry handful of men, saved Greece
by withstanding the Persians. In a similar spirit,
the Talks, fighting not only for themselves, but for
the general cause of nationality, will, we trust,keep
back the Cossack invader. But shame on the allies
who have towed them to such a desperate strait !

they said, from an upper section of the Sunbury

ground near where the fire had been, it is suppos

into the fire, where, having been left to her fate,
she had struggled and crawled out but to die. The
hellish deed was committed within sight of a num

" Until within about it bandied stiles of this

Suicide of a Young Wife.
The New Orleans Delta records the suicide of a
betotitul and interesting young wife in that city.
The name of the unfortunate wits Mariana L.twe,
she was about sixteen years of age. About a year
since, she married a man named Lowe. They liv
ed unhappily together, and she had reason for be
lieving that her hoiband bad ceased 'either to love
her or to remember and respect the vows he had
made in marriage. and had transferred his elm
Lions to another woman, who resided in the imme-'
dime neighborhood Day before yesterday, the
young wife (her husband having been absent from
her for several days.) repaired to the house of this
Woman, and inquired if her husband were not
there.
She was answered by the woman, " I don't know
anything about your husband, but there is my hus-
band," pointing to a gentleman _ seated in the room,
in whom the young wife recognized her truant lord.
She uttered not a word of complaint, hot returned
to her home, dispatched the servant to a drug store
in the vicinity for an ounce of laudanum., She
wrote a long and extremely pathetic letter, and then
taking the Laudanum, laid herself upon her unhon
ored bridal couch and died. The letter she had
written was addressed to her husband. She stated
" that having nothing more to live for—deserted
by him she loved, and robbed of all hopes of hap
' pines, in this world; she preferred death to the mis
`erable existence which lay open before her—and
so she had calmly and deliberately destroyed her
own life by taking laudanum. She would not up.
braid her husband ; she had ever and still dearly
loved him—forgave him all the wrongs she had
suffered at his hands, through his cruel neglect and
desertion. She hoped, too, that God would forgive
him as she did—and that he might live long and
happily."
Thelefisband came in while the inquest was be
ing held,. and appeared a good deal affected, and
expressed a deep sorrow for the loss of his youth
fat and beao'iful wife; he, however, denied the
charees of infidelity and neglect made against him
by the letter 01 his wife, as well as by the testimo•
• ny of several witnesses.

If the put winter has been distinguished for the
total absence of snow, (in this region,) the present
month of April will long be remarkable for the bo
dy of snow, whose coming at this late day in such
quantities is almost unexampled. On Friday last,
commenced a fall of snow, which continued almost
without cessation until Monday night. At tbil place
it is supposed that at least three feet of snow most
have fallen, some of it melting as it reached terra
firma, but leaving a body remaining measuring two
feet in depth. In the woods, we are wined, the
snow measured three feet in depth. Fears were
entertained that the result of its departure would
be a freshet in the streams of such magnitude as to
do much damage ; but it has melted so slowly that
much of the danger is removed.
Sale of the Main Line.
The Senate, on Filday, disposed of the bill for
the sale of the main line, as the same came from
the house, except in regard to a few unimportant
amendments.. The minimum price of eleven mil-
lions, as reported in the house bill, was changed to
ten millions; and to encourage competition among
capitalists in a contest for the purchase of the main
line, the devoid section was restored, (which had
been stricken out) the substance of which author
izes the purchaser to construct lateral railroads in
every direction, thus enabling competition to serve
public interests in the trade and travel over our
public improvements. The vote stands:

of Amazon commerce.
The clause authorizing the Corporation to Ingo

Tue Foaxtcs News.—The steamer Arctic ar
rived at New York Sunday, bringing four days later
news from Europe. The accounts of the right
bank of the Danube being occupied by' the Ras
sign forces, is fully confirmed, and they are now
masters of all that strip of territory, bOunded on the
west by the Danube, and on the east by the Black
Sea. Hrrsova, Badadagh, and Laaktchi are all in
possession of the Russian forces, and from the ra
pidity of their movements, it is probable that they
intend to advance upon Constantinople before the
allied forces can reach the theatre of war As soon
as the intelligence of the occupation of the Danube
reached Omer Pasha; he sent reinforcements to the
troops posted at Trojan's Wall, between Chernavo
da and Kostendje. When Mustapha Pacha, the
Turkish commander, found the Russians were in
too great force, he retreated at first upon Matschin,
and subsequently upon Badadagh. His force in
the field is not more than 20,000 men, exclusive of
garrison. Success in the present operations would
give the Russians complete command of the mouths
of the Danube. They have already drawn chains
across the Salina channel.
In the Baltic sea nothing important has occurred
