The Battle of Citita
' • The - London Tunes gives the following panic
! ulars of the battle of Citate, from a private letter:
On Friday the Pith of January - , the Turkish
troops, under the orders of Ismail Fuchs and
1 Ahmed Pacha, marched tm attack the Russians,
who had fortified 'themselves in the village of
i Citate, which 'is about five hour; march from
Kalefat. The force of Ismail Pacha was ,00111-
I posed of three regiments of regular cavalry and
one regiment of Bashi-Bozoake, With six guns.
The Russian force in the village consisted of
,tirreelattalions of infantry, three s.qtaadrons of
hussars, and two squadrons of Cosicks.
The position of the Russimis, who were dia.
I , tributed in ell the houses of the tillage, which

double ditch, rendered the attach extremely per.'

to direct a murderous fire upon the Turks, with

Ip spite of this evident disldvantage, Ismail

self into the villz- under a shower of balls fired
I from thc.. windowf. At first the Turks received
, very serigius injury: but, although this eircum
i -stance some what ads , ,r i zani zed their attack, their
impetuosity was by no means checked. The
greater portion of the 'soldiers, who had never
Pbefore been ezpozed to uau,ketry, nevertheless
displayed indomitable eouragc.
After a d , 2sperate e.ruggle they attacked the
houses, and fought hand to hand with sword and
, 1 1) yout t The ma,s.tere was frightful. The
i • ssianA in vain begged fqr quarter. In the

uge in a re louljt at tie heal of the village, and
thence recommenced a murderous fire upon the
Turk,, rc-turncd it vigorously, but not with
out receiving cm.i.:orahlc injury from the Rus
sian .guns. .
• At last, the enemy. incapable of any farther
straggle, decided o'n ahantioning 'the entrench- 1
meats. A number of Russian troops had id
already emanated the plaiie; when a colonel of
Turkish ovary conceived the unfortunate ides of
endeavoring to oppose their passage.
The Russians, finding themselves surrot .
mded
and having no outlet t o escape and no resource but
the, terrible energy derived 4tun despair, recom

I be stated that the Turks, upon the first success

i For this movement he made u.e of three of his
I reserved battalions. ' •
The advantage of the position was now on the
side of the Tullis, who were on ground which
sloped towards the- Russians.' but the latter were
in three times greater number than the Turks.
In spite of this inequality, the Russians were en
tirely betifen, and fled in the greatest disorder.
They were completely routed, a fact constituting
a feat of arms ou the part , of the Turks which
does great-honor to ehem. Their kisses in these
two simultaneous affairs amount to nearly 4,000
me u ,lunong whom are included 50'onperior offi
cers. The Turks had about 300' killed and 896
wounded, who were sent to the hospitals of Wid
den, and of whom it is honed the greater part
may be saved.
Ismail Pacha fought like a lion, and more like
a soldier than a general. He had two horses
killed under him. He was grazed with two
balls—one on the sheFdder, and another on the
*lst. A' third ball struck the scabbard of his
sword.
The Turks took from the field of battle, be
sides a number of horses, a great many mus
kets, sabres, schako4 epaulettes, and decorations,
and also many wounded. The latter consoled
themselves for their wounds by the sight of
watches or bandsful of gold, gathered the
midst of danger, which they placed by the beds
of pain as a solace tik,their sufferings.

The prospects of the speedy oomtnencemeett,
and final completion of this great work, by the
titortest and most feasible route, is daily bright
ening. Some fears have been expressed, we
know, that the President, Mr. Coom, might.
yield' to misrepresentations of interested persons,
and favor a route via Meadville and Franklin,
but we are glad to learn by Iptter from one of
his most intimate and personal friends in Phila
delphia, a member of the Common Council, that
there is no fears of any thing of the kind. That
gentleman writes to one of oar citizens under
date of February 26th, as follows: "Erie need

miles of Buffalo, even at midnight, if the Editor
of that sheet did'ut have an immediate attack _ of

friend of the Notft believes in the infalibillity
railroad men so implicitly that we have no doubt
he thinks he will "go to" a Railroad when he
dies, instead of one of the other places! And,
honestly, we have no doubt' he will. But this
aside. We said last week that it was no unfre-
Tient occurrence that passengers and mails from
the New York and Erie road were compelled to lay
over at Dunkirk when, if the State Line train
had waited ten minutes longer, &connection would
have been made, and the detention thus avoided;
and we mentioned a particular instance that oc,-
curred the creek previous. To this the Notes re
plies:
"Suppose the delinqpent 'Conductor' had wait

trains had failed to 'connect' at Cleveland, Tole
do, and any number of places west, upon whose
shoulders would the blame of certain other mail
failures have rested?"

pose me and John should be married—end we
should have a little baby—and I should be down
here baking—and should be called away for a
few minutes—and the little baby should crawl
into the oven, and should be burned all up," and
when she got to this climax of "supposible"
grief, she "boo-hood" afresh; just as, wo•have no
doubt, the Editor of the Notes did when he con
templated• the awful catastrophe that would have
happened if that conductor had waited them "ten
minutes," end the trains had ftriledconnect at B.oe
Cleveland, and in numerable other s "out
.1 4
west." But, to be serious, "suppose t hat oon .
dactor had waited them "ten-minutes," and there
should not have been a connection at Cleveland,
would not all beyond have been just ay well off,
solar as mail matter was demented, while all
East of Cleveland would have been secommoda_
ted? And "suppose" again, that the train at
Dunkirk had waited ten, or oven fifteen minutes
longer, and thus formed a connection, and the
Conductor had thin given his Engineer enters to
put on a little more steam, don't the gots think'
ten or fifteen minutes could have been pined
between Dunkirk and Cleveland, without danger
to the train? We think so, besides we hater it
used to be no unusual occurrence fora train to
wait at Buffalo, not only "ten" but thirty mip
ntes beyond the hour set down in . the time ta
ble for the arrival of train; on the Central road.
But it is useless to waste words upon this point;
the road is run for the special accommodation 'of
the Central read, and for go other. ' If the New
York and Erie road was the only party injured,
no on a would eompliin; but the whole west is made
to stiffer on account of these repeated mail
1 fannies, and the people ieill complain, and lea/
lay the odium where it rightfully belotip—up
the lalte Shore road and its management, the Notes
to the contrary notwithstanding.
P.. B.•—Oa-Thursday the New York and Erie
trail i arrived at Dastkirk after the Engineer of the
State Line train had given his signal whistle for

Tomip Ithers lad Barbara,
The question of the improvement of the Riven
and Harbors of the country, so that they may be
able to meet the requirements of the vast trade
and eommeroe springing up, and from year to
year miltiplying as the capacity of the country
is men and more developed, is one which has
long agitated the politics of the nation. This is
not to be wondered at, for it certainly is a ques
tion of vast importance, not only as regards the
interest involved, but of the large amounts that
have from time to time been drawn from the Ns
tional Treasury for the purpose under moulders
timr. Heretofore all improvements to our Riven
and to our Harbors have been made by means of
direct appropriations from the purse of the Na
tion. By this policy every section of the coun
try—every interest, commercial, manufacturing
and agricultural—have been made to bear the
cost in equal and exact proportion. Whether
this is exact justice or not, we wallet now stop
to enquire; neither do we believe the people would
if the system had at all answered the purpose de
signed. Bat such is not the case. No man, wbo
will look honeritly - and fairly at past legislation
la, his subject, can fail to adori that River
and : ills are entirely inadequate to make
improvements commensurate with the wants of
the country; this the most sanguine advocate of
that system must be forced to admit. With
Iscarcely an exception, every improvement under-
I takes by the general government, results in an
I absolute failure, and the reason for it is very eas
ily explained.}; Every bill for the improvement
of River+ and Harbors must, by the very nature
of things; be an omnibus bill. No other could,
bybee° forit isbut
anj jroBBl I rot ,
natural that every Inembir. of Congrees should
I look upon improvement in his locality as of
amount importaneC. and make Wu appropriation
for thiit purpose the sine qua non, without whicli
his vote for the bill cannot be obtained. If sp
prupriations were made equal to the accomplish
ment of all these improvements, it would not
take long to bankrupt the natiO,pal Treasury. The
&manila abilities of the Secretary would be veil
von employed, not in disposing of a surplus rev
enue, butkin devising a way to providetor a de
ficit. The result is that the appropriations are
too small to effect any-practical good, and by the
time Congress is induced to make an additional
one, whaklittle that was accomplished by the
first appropriation, has been lost. Every candid
man must admit that this is the usual history of
the improvements undertaken by the federal gov
ernment It does seem to us, then, that the on
ly effect of these River and Harbor bills is to
create delusive hope= and check individual enter
prise.
If the general government had undertaken to
build our railroads, it' is impossible to calculate
how long, if ever, before they would have been
brought to that state of liniments+ which their
present condition"exhibits. In addition to the
obstacles above stated, in the way of an improve
ment of our Rivera and Harbors by this - system,
it nmst always meet with violent opposition; for
a large number of our beat and wisest politicians
believe it unconstitutional, and conflicting with
the rights of the States. But, waiving the con
stitutional objection, and assuming that' these
bills can accomplish the purpose—that the im
provements can be made; it must be admitted
that they arc of doubtful policy—involving a
wasteful and extravagant expenditure of the pub
lie money, and giving to the general government
a patronage and a power never contemplated by
the States, when the confederacy was formed.—
If the general government has the power to con
struct Harbors where none salted, and improve
insignificant rivers, it is somewhat difficult to de
ny to it•the power to carry on'a general system
of internal improvements; and no one imbued
with Democratic principles can contemplate the
exercise of such a power without trembling for
the safetyof the otuatry. It was attempted once,
but the Democratic party arrested it before its
corrupting influence had pervaded the masses of
the people, and poisoned the very life-blood of
our instititions.
, In order to obviate the very many difficulties
embarrassing this vital question, it has been pro
posed that Congress !mai a general law, giving
to the States the right to collect tonnage duties,
to be devoted to the , _ improvement of.the Rivers
and Harbors pertinent to their jurisdiction. To
What extent such a measure would meet with th:
approbation of the Democratic party, it isimpos
sible to say; its merits and demerits have yet to
be examined; and we do not doubt but that the
dominant party in Congress will attentively
weigh the reasons for and against it. One thing
is very Certain; some of the features sire prefera
ble to those of any plan yet proposed. It is the
only way by which the improvements can ever
be economically made; and it is equally certain
that none others than those absolutely necessary
would, under it, ever be attempted
We believe the constitutionality of such a mea
sure is not doubted; as Congress is expressly au
thorised, by the constitution, to grant such pow
er to the States. Hostility to such a measure is,
of course, to be expected from the whig party,
as it is supposed to be favored by thoadministra
tion. Already has a storm of ind;griatiou been
hurled against it from certain quarters. Alrea
dy do we find it moiled on the floor of Congress
u the shift of a DeMigogue to escape responsi
bility, but we much mistake the intelligence of
the people if it eventually does not find "favor at
their hands, and become the established policy of
'the country.

The Democratic convention of Allegheny wan- 1
ty, which met a few days since for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the State Convention on
the Bth, passed a resolution Ililawimoudy fewer
lug the election of Col. WILSON MCCANDLESS to
the Senate of the United States. This speakes i
well for Col. McCs.nnt.ess' popularity at home— 1
the spot, of all others, where a politician should
be strong. We notice, also, that the Pittsburgh
Union has a leading article endorsing the action I
of the Convention, and urging the claims of the
West in ,general to the Candidate; and those of 'l'
Col. McCandless in particular. That paper says: l
"It is the misfortune of prominent Democrats i
i in this county, to be seldom favored with the be- i t
i *towel of o ffi ce, though it is a well known fact, i
I that in the campaigns wherein the Democracy of t
1 the Statelave proved victorious, the`Dentocrsts I
of Allegheny have performed a large share of the
{ labor—not only here, but throughout the e.ntire . I
West. W e
t have not yet seen the compaign in
which the y gentleman who is the subject •ofOs
article has failed to bear his part. in theVall
of 1844 his numerous able and stirring efforts
contributed more than those of any single mn,
'to promote the success to our party Tho us,
public expectation declared, that, ere the elm'
of Mr. Polk's administration our esteemed fellow
] citizen would be selected for some high ptiition.
in the government, such was not the ease. But
Mr. McCandless was no discontcuted gruifibler.
4:le,
He did not utter a complain, that the wishe- of
his friends had not been, acceded to in his prefer
ment; and accordingly, we find him in 1S 1,:. , again
taking the stump in favor of Genetal Cass, and
voting his remarkable energies to the service
,of his party. In the last campaign the comae of
Mr. MeCtuadless won for him golden opinions.
It is needless to speak,,of the qualification; of
Mr. MeCandless for the pOsition for which he has
been more' than once designated by thee p4pul.r
voice. His reputition has lung been extended
beyond the lirnittof his own State, not IV virtue
of any office, for Re has never had any; but by
the power of natural abilities and force of cha
racter. There are many reasons why NC,• believe
him tp be the 'very than for the eceasii , ii. Among
these" we may own, that, by no tue.an4 the leaqt,
is the excellence,pf his private character, and his
generotts,maely'aad hospitable feelings At the
present time, when several rival candidates are
presented, with many personal animosities be

than to select a. man who has not been identified
