A couple of instances affordedKey opportunities to herald to Uie

One ofthese is in the shape of a complaint from apostal agent because of his arduous dutiesnot giving him.time to devote to the buildingup of the administration party. The othercase is in the shape of a complaint madeagaiiist a newly-appoint- ed postmaster who,it was alleged, was npi in fyrupathy with theadministration. Of course Mr. Key was elo-

From another source, usually net less welfinformed, it is positively stated that a fort-night or so will elapse before the Russians areready to undertake operations along the wholeline, owing to the imperfect state of Dreoara--tior.3.

Coxstaxtinople, June 17. The Egyptian contingent has arrived, and MukhtarI asha is to retain his command.
A dispatch dated Erzeroum, June 14th,says Mukhtar Pasha is at Servin. He hasreceived a reinforcement ot twenty-fou- r battalions and two batteries, and intends sending forces to Kars from along the whole line.ine i urKisu rignt wing, wmcn is at uenbaija,has oeen oraereu to march to loprak-hale- h.
Of the Turkish left wing, six battalions arebetween fenek and Olti, and ei&rht are concentrated at Olti. Ihere i3 also a Turkishbattalion at Koprukoi. one at Hassan-Kale- h.
and five at Devebpym. The Russian leftwing is at Karakillisa, with a column at Did-di- n
and in the direction of Van. ElevenKrupp guns, of fifteen centimetres caliber,have arrived at Erzeroum from Trebizond.The Mussulman population of Erzeroum arebeing called to arms. Various telegramsfrom the Turkish side claim that the Turks,by the superiority of their artillery fire, pre-vented the Russians from erectiug works toattack Kars.
The court-marti- al trying the officers ofthe gunboat safe, which was destroyed bytorpedoes in the Danube, has concluded itslabors. It is believed the prisoners will besentenced to be shot., Telegrams from Mukhtar Pasha, dated thesixteenth instant, say the Alaschgerdo divis-ion, which started from Delibaba on an offen-sive reconnoisance in the direction of TahrPass, was attacked by three Kuf sian columns,but repulsed them with heavy loss after fivehours desperate fighting. Mehemet Paha,commanding the Turks, was killed. TheTurks returned to their former position.
There has been a dangerous outbreak offrom fifteen to twenty thousand mountedArabs in tha district between Damascus andAleppo. The country is almost denuded oftroops. The governor of Syria has tele-graphed for assistance, and until it reacheshim the district will probably be given up toBlunder. This possibility ot a disturbance in
reported in a Pera dispatch of June14th. It was then stated that ts-elr- c thou-sand rebel horsemen of the Bedouin tribeshad been defeated by Ottoman troop3. Muchuneasiness is felt concerning the state ofCrete. Six battalions are to be sent there,although much wanted elsewhere.
.Prince Yon Itenso has informed SafvetPasha that he and the Oerman ambassadorat St. Petersburg have received instruction tooffer the mediation of Germany in thi eventof either belligerent being desirous of peace.Turkish success in Montenegro and the de-lay of Russian operations have somewhatencouraged the sultan.
An order has bceu issued dismissing allBulgarians in the capital from the govern-ment telegraph postal services. Three yearstaxes in advance are demanded from theRay alias.
A dispatch from Vienna siys that BaronVon Rodich, governor of Dalmatia, and Gen-eral Malinari, governor of Croatia and of themilitary frontier, have arrived in Vienna totake instructions in view of future eventual-ities. Baron Yon Rodich has received a dis-patch from Yarya confirming the report thatNicsics has been revictualled.
It is said a special division has been or-ganised at iiurgevo, under General Scabelaff,to bead a column which is to cross the Dan-ube near that point.
London.London, June 17. As regards the Eu-
ropean seat of war, the principal point worthyof remark has been the extraordinary strin-gency and precautions taken by the Russiansto prevent anything transpiring relative totheir operations. Although the correspond-ent in Roumania number thirty-tw- o,
not one of them has been able to giveany real information which would assist inthe formation of an opinion as to where theRnsuans intend to crass the Danube. Thisincreased secresy. taken in conjunction withIne issue of decress for new loans and larcre
additions to the army, is interpreted by some,seemingly with good reason, to assign thatRussia will no longer hesitate, and that im-portant events may shortly be expected, assoon as the Danube, which all accounts agreeis lalling, is in a condition to permit opera-tions. Of course, under these circumstances,opinions relative to the locality ot the Russian advance must le formed from indications observable fioru the southern bank ofthe Danube. These observations seem stillto indicate somewhere not far from Nicopolisas the spot where the most serious etlort willbe made. The Russians are making notableconcentration of troops at the mouth of therivers Bade and Aluta, across which theyhave thrown bridges. There is scarcely anydoubt that the troops concentrated betweent hese two rivers form the operating army,It seems as though the Russians would makean attempt to cross at this point ot the river.while energetically engaging Rustchuk withheavy artillery. This latter conclusion issupported by the arrival of a good quantity ofheavy artillery, especially mortars, at uiur- -gevo. from the fact that the Russians haveoccupied the island of Stakan, opposite thetown, and establishing batteries there despitethe Turkish fire. The Turks also think thata passage will be attempted in force betweenNicopolis and Sistova, and have considerablyreinforced their camps and garrison at thoseplaces.
1 n Asia the principal feature this week hasbeen a partial withdrawal of the Russianright wing and a closer investment of Karsand Batoum. The total Russian force available lor active operations in Asia Minor isabout one hundred and forty thousand men;of these forty thousand are around Kars,thirty thousand between Kars and Batoum,and thirty thousand between Kars and theline of Ba.ja.id and Toprak-Kale- h, thus leav-ing about torty thousand men for the centeragainst Mukhtar Pasha's forty thousand menin a strong position. The figures show thatthe Russians have no men to spare if they in-
tend to keep the country they have so far oc-
cupied, though if their object were simply toeffect a rapid advance and defeat the Turksas a preliminary to peace, there is nothing toprevent their doing so. It is confirmed fromseveral sides that the Russians are not benton rapid operations of this latter kind, but,on the contrary, they are doing their workthoroughly and are systematically takingover the administration of the count ry as theyadvance. Thus the former sanjak of Sha-ma- ka
is now completely incorporated withRussia, under Russian civil government. Itseems tliat in obedience to this plan of con-solidating their conquests and making allsure behind them, the Russians will make noattack in the direction of Erzeroum untiltheir center and left wing are quite free andprepared to therein. In connec-tion with the former, the Moscow Gazette sig-nificantly remarks: "When we have securedthe freedom of the Sclavs, and the questionof material compensation arises, the incor-poration of Armenia with Russia will proba-bly J be effected on as much Armenian asRussian interests." Both combatants havebeen reinforced during the week. The Rus-sian left wing have received reinforcementswhich are supposed to have traversed Per-sian territory in order to reach their destina-tion.
Relative to the political events of the week,there is great excitement in south .Servia inconsequence of the operations of the Turksagainst the Montenegrins. Loud demandsare being made there for Servia to supportthe Montenegrins, who, unless they receivespeedy assistance, seem to have little chanceof being able to long withstand the converg-ing Turkish columns, whose object is to drivethe Montenegrins south and westward, andprevent them, in the coming struggle, fromjoining hands with Servia, and thus cuttingoff Bosnia and Herzegovina from the rest ofEurope. The feeling in Servia against theprince of Montenegro being left to be crushedis so strong that it is believed Prince Milancannot safely resist it, and it is also thoughtincredible that Russia should allow JJonte--.negro to be abandoned, although reports asto the probable action ot bervia are very con- -n i n-- i i i a 1.1mcung. A ne aoove lairiy represents liio reasons why I'nnce JUilan s visit to rioiesti isregarded as of great importance, as it willprobably be decisive of the neutrality or cooperation of Servia. From Constantinoplestrong additional confirmation is receivedthat Ex-Sult- an Murad has in a srreat measurerecovered, and as those discontented with thepresent regime favor his restoration, his recovery considerably complicates the internalsituation.
A dispatch dated Ragusa the sixteenth.slates that Nicsics has been revictualled. Onthe southern frontier of Montenegro, however, the Turks were totally defeated byGeneral t'etrovitch in an engagement beforeDanilograd. Mehemet Ali telegraphs to thePorte from Kalachin, June 15th, announcingthat he totally defeated the Montenegrins inthe neighboring forests, the latter loosingupwards of two hundred killed, when theOttoman troops returned to Kalachin.
A dispatch from Berlin states that accessto the shores of the Danube has been prohib-ited in many parts of Roumania. One of theforbidden localities is the country aroundGmrgevo.
The news from Montenegro is contradict-ory. Mehemet Ali telegraphs, under date ofSaturday, that he defeated the corps ot Mon-tenegrins concentrated on the road from Ritchina to Livaraka.
Sclavonic advices, via Ragusa. representthat Mehemet Ali has been defeated near the river Jalinka. The Montenegrins pursued him and burned all the Turkish villages in the Wassojevitch district.The Turks have been compelled to completelyevacuate me Montenegrin territory.
A special irom tier 1 in savs the czar is notwell, in consequenceot the unhealthy climateof Roumania, and will shortly return to Keiif,where preparations are already being made toreceive mm.
The Standard's Vienna correspondent reports that Nicsics was only revictualled aftera tremendous carnage. Ihe exact losses arenot yet known.
Great inundations on the Don and Dnemerreported from Russia.
iso vessel whose repairs are lilelv to takeany length of time is to be docked at eitherthe Davenport or Kevham yards, which areto be kept as clear as possible for any emergency.
since the czar s arrival fresh enersv hasbeen infused into all preparations, but this athrst was somewhat neutralized bv variousrailway break-down- s. Those who do not be-lieve in immediate operations explain thepresent great movement of troops by the supposition that the commander-in-chie- f badreasons to considerably modify his plan, andthat according to the new arrangements sixof the eight army corps are to be concentrat-ed in a compaiatively short time betweenGiurgevo and Islos on the river Aluta. Bothopinions are founded on observations on thespot. At Giurgevo steam launches have ar-rived and a larere siece train is beincr villv- -ted, while the eighth, eleventh and twelfthcorps are ready to converge on that point. Onthe Aluta, behind Turna-Magurel- i, the ninthcorps is in waiting, and the thirteenth is onthe march to join it. The thirteenth corpsis in Galatz, but will proceed westward, andprobably cross about lechernovada or Kalnr- -wich, with the fourth corps. Ostentatiousdemonstrations are being made in the neigh-borhood of Braila, Reni and Ismail, but I im-agine that they are merely feints. The Mon-tenegrin council a week ago decided notto seriously oppose the reprovisioning of Nicsics,in consequence ot the great loss inflicted ativriitacs.and because the relief ot the town hasceased to have any significance. Owing tothe increased strength of the Montenegrin ar-tillery, should the Turkish army retire, Nic-sics may be easily stormed. The Turks, byadvancing into the plain of Nicsics, havewalked into a trap, for should the Montenegrins block Duga Pass, the Turks will be unable to return, a lull is epected for ihs netfew days.
Last evening a force of Russian cavalrvmarched from Giurgevo to Slabodzi Wiiila--chan, on the Yeolomnitza river, with colorsflying and bands plavinir. The mftrem nr.was unmolested by the Turkish batteries.
J he 1 urkish headquarters has ordered allwar correspondents to &hun;Ja fc oLlain permission to remain at the seat of war.
At Rustchuk cannonading is keot nn withgreat spirit. The Turkish guns are far Rune- -rior to the Russian in caliber and range.
The Bashi-Bazouk- s, taking advantage ofabsence from Constantinople, and of much ofthe restraining power, have ben 'committingall sorts of excesses on persons and property.The suburbs are mostly occupied by personsuciungiiig vj me uicicauuie classes in Con-stantinople, who have villas in the surround-ing neighborhood, and the disorderly conductof these semi-savag- e soldiers keep them inconstant alarm. Among those who recently
suffered from the excesses of these Bashi-Bazou-
are an English officer and an Amer-ican naval officer, who were beaten ami mal-treated by them. This outrage on the partof the Bashi-Bazou- is not unlikely to leadto further complications with other governments.
Ix)Niov. June 18. A correspondent utConstantinople, in a dispatch sent via Athens,says that the peace party gains ground daily.At a council of war on Wednesday laist, atwhich the sultan presided, several of thosepresent, especially Mehemed Rucluli Pasha,strongly advocated ixace, Ruchdi said it wasnow quite clear that Turkey could not hojetor active aid trom any power, and could notcarry on the war single-hande- d, lie urgedthat advantage should be taken ot Russia's recent declaration that she does not de-sire conquest, and that application be at oncemade to some friendly power to obtain anarmistice, during which peace agreementsmay be arranged. He implored the sultan totake this step, the majority ot the council were, however, against Mehemed Ruchdi.His proposals were deferred. I am assuredthat the peace party looks to the German ambassador for support, and that he does all inhis power to sustain them. They gain greatadvocacy by Ruchdi Pasha thus publiclyplacing himself at their head. J here must,however, be a disaster before the peace partycan succeed.

At Hadford's, Jim Moore's, down toArkansas Post, all under. Silver Lake place,Pendleton s and Lennox homestead, all srone.and everything in the rear. From ArkansasPost down all is one vast sheet of water, andthe river is drawing over into White riverrapidly. Below Pendleton's, on the smithside, the only dry land seen was at Burnett's.All of Red Fork district is entirely gone up.At Waddell's and Gordon's they were allright, and had two feet to go on, which wascausedj 'jy the water drawing off into Whiteriver and Red Fall bayou above. All theplanters were, of course, somewhat down-spirite- d,
butNONE SEEMED WILLING TO GIVB IT UP YET.
Should the water recede soon enough, thosethat have seed enough will put in all the cot-ton they can; but few planters have seed now,owing to the sale to the oil companies andbeing shipped out of the country. Corn willbe substituted where cotton-see- d cannot behad, and many planters have expressed them-selves that the greatest corn crop ever madewould be turned out this year. They are al-ready agitating the question of levees, andthink work will be commenced soon for nextyear. From careful estimates it would besafe to say that two-third- s of the crop on theArkansas river is lost. a passenoer.
