At this hour he is the first general of the Ot- toman army on the Danube, and more than two hundred thousand men, according to the latest accounts, are subject to his command. Millions of eyes anxiously turned towards him, and there isos man interested in the great question of the day, who does not wish to know howfar his militsxy talents may be depended upon. .

If the may afiord aclue to judge of the to fortune of Omar Pacha has been constant for so many cars as to leave no doubt of his ability. Sobrilliant, so im ortant and high a position is not reached from the owest condition, without oae's being possessed of merit and that in an uniasnt degree. if Kosrew Pacha's favor was propitious to a ‘yong man full ofbope of life and of courage. it would have sheltered a stranger though a convert, from mistrust and envy. The old muasulman is proud of himselfevcn to refusing to*acknowledge any capacity superior to his own ; and little does he expect that any information worthy of note can be derived from a foreigner. Men of such a description were often in his way, andhe was more than once driven to suspend his services; but acts are convincing in spite of opposition, ttnd they spoke in favor of Omar

slta.

0mar’s military capabilities, indeed, have had no decisive o pcrtunity of showing themselves in the teeth ofdtsciplined troops. it is, nevertheless undeniable, that he has availed himself of an energetic discipline to double the power of his forces before the enemy. whom he has almost invarisblybeaten. When the enemy were only insurgents, it was but natural that they should not give occasion for avast strategical pla , which on the contrary,'would have proved very injurious iothe kind of warfare he was called upon to wage. However the enemies he has now to confront are not_ altogether new to him. in Bosnia, in Montenegro, in Bulgaria, in Servia, insurrections were always fomentcd by Russia, often by Austria, and by both it was assisted with arms and oficers.

Independently of his ability—of which the successes he has obtained, "the eminent ‘military degrees he has won.and his actual position, are surely better proofs than our words——no one de- nies him a boldness of conception which never degenerated into rashness, a confidence in him- self which he was able to inspire in his soldiers, and a military ardor that is proverbial among his officers. Under his command,as has been the case with all great generals, the soldier thinks himself braver, and confidently rushes to victory.

Omar’sdomestic life is ver far from being tainted with the debauchery that is generally a'- tribntod, and often falsely, to the private conduct

f ' ' He has ad no more than two wives; and though he was allowed to have them contem orsneonaly, he did not marry the second until a in his divorce from the former. This was a'l‘urkish woman, daughter of an Age of the Janiooaries, who died in 1827, and was a pupil of his protector Koarcw Pachs. Emancipated from he severe restraint of the harem to the liberty of European customs, she abused it, and forced her husband to a separation. The second is a European. and was a very young maid, mild and ‘virtuous character, when he saw her first and married her at Bucharest, where she was exercising, at fourteen years of age, the profession of ‘e teacher of the pianoforte. She is from Crcostsdtlu thh Transylvania and her name is iéatooich. He has-so olbpsing but a

The internal contest has now disappeared ‘be- fore the external. Omar Pacha behold! united under his banner both old and young Ttultey. He found himself one day, belotlfiillg in an ‘equal degree, to the one and to the ot er; it was on thatdsy when both assembled under his orders on the Banks of the Danube. War, shouted forth with one. voice, truth all the corners of the empire. was a thought unbisssed by party views ; it was the desire of emancipation from the influence, the thraldom, the arrogant pretences, the ‘corrupting intrigues, of the foreigner.

So, in the-actual crisis, they march hand in hand. The sentiment of independence, the in- tegrity ofthe territory, and the sanctity of the cause, join them both. The hope of the one is- restoratioo, the hope of the other is progress. fortified and bound together in an unbreakable bond. It is fanaticism for the former, patriotism for the latter; but it is ardor, sacrifice, and self-abnegatlon ‘for’ both.

And can the victory, not only external but internal, beany matter of doubt! hen Russia shall have paid to Turkey the ransom of her hypocrisy and ambition, the civiliaing influence ofthe French and lslnglish armies, and of the men of all nations who are hastening to defend her, will have crossed the empire, from the Ararat to the Adriatic, and from the Danube to the Euphrates; the natural resources with which sh: has been blessed to such a degree by Heaven‘ will be developed ; and all nations will hail with one accord her regeneration.

DRUNKENNESS AND EDUCATION. At It‘ meeting of the Church of England Education Society, recently held in the city of Manchester, the Rev. Hugh Stowell spoke of the antagonism of the drinking customs of his country with its mental culture and moral advancement, in a manner that might well startle some of the conservative influences of “the establish- ment.” ut such truths are needed to educate the English mind up to the righte- ous requirements of prohibition, and we hail their utterance, before such a body, as a cheering indication of progress in the right quarter. They may be more needed there than here, but they are adapted to every locality that is cursed by the liquor traffic. Said he:-— “However we may extend our edu- cational machinery, I am satisfied we can never keep pace with the drinking machi- nery that is diagrocing and degrading this country. It is all nonsense to talk about intellectual culture, and places of amuse- ment, nnd exhibitions, and ten gardens, and places of that kind ‘counteracting the drunken usages of this country.—So long asthia country has an immense class of individuals who get their bread by manu- facturing drunkenneas,und an ion as an immense proportion of the capital of this country is stoked upon the increased drunkenness ofthe country, so long will it be impossible to elevate the masses of this country. They may give them education, and churches, and every moral and religious machinery and mtgv multiply intellectual institutions, mechanics’ institutions, athen- keums, and lyceums, and cheap publications, but there will still be a mighty mass drunkenness throughout the country, dis- grncing it before God and man, filling prisons, lunatic asylums, work-houses, and all receptacles of crime and misery. We must put a stop to beer-houses altogether, and put restraints upon our dram-shops and public houses, such as other countries were doin .—America is leaving us far behind in t is matter; the dau hter is putting the mother far behind it the race-'’—

Tltc Benjamin Ft-aultlin was bought for tho Alvarez expedition by the agent of the revo- lutionary general and some one else, for 8270,- 000, from Messrs.

Even the gun carriages, varying in quality for each steuriter——the bfanta Anita having them made of solid mahogany, and the propeller of live oak-were furnished by the some builders.

Several gentlemen of high standing in the United States and elsewhere are reported to as to be interested in this movement, but we willihold their names until the report receives further con- firmation.—En-ning Post.

COLONIAL. '

CANADIAN A rr.una.—After years of part squabbling, Canada has adopted a Coalition Mi- nistry, formed ofthe most liberal and distinguished of the respective political parties. This event is not to be wondered at; the people are heartily tired of the strife and turtnoil which agitators had engendered among them : they see how futile all their professions of devotion to the cause of the people have proved, and they therefore wisely resolved to sustain none but an administration that would work instead oftnllr. 'l‘hnt great good will result therefrom, we have not the least doubt. The new government have announced therneasures which they intend to carry out, and whi_ch will be introduced inthe following order:-—'l‘he debate on the address ; the ratification of the reciprocity treaty with the United States; the secularization ofthe clergy reserves; commutation of the wig- ntlllll tenure; an elective Legislative Council; municipal reforms in Lower Canada; a reduction ofthe tariff, and the school bill.

Thus we find that the three largest and most important of the British North American Colo- nies have adopted Clralitinn Governments, and fhey are all three advancing under them more rapidly than at any previous period in their history.

The best evidence that can be adduced in fkvor of the cfllcaciousuess of Hooiland’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.

“Wednesday, September 27, use

We have always been ofo inion, nod we are auxious—we confess — to end others to the the some way of thinking, that the surest plan of couvertin men from the full of inbem er- ance is, to s ow theta. totnl abstinence om nll stimulating drinks, so for from making men dull and stupid, unfit for geninl society, works in it man irectly the reverse. Ilnd any of tho unbelievtng been at _the impromptu supper given to the head of the National Divi- sion of the Sons of Temperance, S. L. Tilley, . ., they would have been tully convinced that there is no wttnt of‘: fun, frolic und glee ” among the votm-ies of tho “ cu that cheers, but not inebriates." It was we 1 for them that the symposium was held under their own roof tree, for the bursts ofgeriuine laughter, and the rounds oflientish iiret.t\t"er-ere tedlygivon, would hoveinduced it suspicion that eoruetliing more invigorating than tea, coffee. or col wa- ter, must have called forth such hilarious noises. Although the matter was got up in unnvoidnblo haste, “ the spread " wtts a good one, untl appeared to,bo highly appreciated by im in whose honor it was designed, and the evening was spent as we have before hinted. with as much men-intent. us if there had been gallons of expensive liquor Q\sted and the. majority had mode beasts of themselves. It was wuntiug, however, in one important matter to make it fully con nial to our taste. he presence of the fairer rtion of the advocates of Temperance would rave added infinitely to the gaiety. and lent a softness und refinement to the mirth. There is no society into which woman may more fearlessly enter than that of men who have banished the most fertile source of discord from among them. There is no place where greater or more heartfelt homage will be paid to the dignity of the sex, no place where its weakness will be more respectetl,ttnd the hop ineesit difiuses, and the splendor it confers tter felt and appreciated than in s. Temperance llull,nnd with Sons of Temper- ance. We trust, therefore, that the day is not for distant when re-unions like the one to which we have alluded, will be of frequent oo- currence. A greater aid to moral sunsion we can hnrdly conceive of. Let it once be recog- nised on it fixed fact, that, in becoming advo- cates of ‘empcrnuce, men not only do not become dry and ascetic to rational enjoyment, but that on the contrary, their perceptions of what: tends to soften the tails and dispel the cares of life are renll hei htencd, and that temperance men real y an truly enjoy the pleasures of society with is greater relish than those who are obliged to have recourse to sti- mulants to make society, even that of woman, cndurnble, and it rest int: is gained. Show the insuiliciency oi the i ol to which men have so long bowed the knee, and the worshi pers will soon full oil, and with greater on in- creased rapidity when you furnish them with a temple into which they may enter, in which the rites of good fellowship are performed with chcerfulncss, and without degradation.
