OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Judications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Higher pressure, westerly winds, stationary temperature, partly cloudy weather and occasional showers. Gold oloaed in New York yesterday at 105. There is a great deal in the war news this morning that is " important if trne." The dispatches, however, from different sources, cannot be reconcild. Under all the circumstances the safest position to assume is that the Russians have not even fairly commenced the passage of the Balkan mountains. . Nearly all the war new?, theBe days, is largely speculative. The strife among Democratic candidates for Governor is becoming terrific Circulars have been printed, and spread broadcast, containing the affidavits charging Mr. Converse with UBing his legislative position to compel payment of a claim to a firm in which his son was a partner. Mr. Converse puts in a denial, and has procured the publication of several affidavits in support thereof, setting forth that the claim was valid under an opinion of the Attorney General, and that his legislative influence was not necessary to Becuro its collection. This tight is among the Democrats, and it is vicious. Proceed, gentlemen. Pickaway Paragraph. Circleville, July 16. To the Editor of the Ohio Stnte .Tournnl : Our farmers are all about through harvesting. The wheat crop has been excellent and our farmers are in good spirits. One or two have threshed their crops and others are getting ready for'the annual traveling threshers. A very large" crowd gathered in the Court House yard yesterday, to hear Mr. Arnold, from Columbus, on temperance. He handles the subject well, and was liatennl tn with creat favor by all. The Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley railway run two excursion trains yeater-dav to Zineaville to the A. M. E. Church Camp Meeting. One train composed of ten cars, well tilled, passed through from Morrow. At about 7 a. m. the other, of seven cars, was literally jammed, it passed at 9 a. m. Eightysix tickets were sold here. Mrs. Bissell, a colored lady, die'd very suddenly yesterday. Delaware Paragraphs.- Delaware, July 10,1877, The Delaware Herald does not agree with E. G. Dun & Co.'a circular, as to the amount of "indebtedness resting on the shoulders of the people," by nearly four billions of money. This is news.

BY TELEGRAPH TO TBS OHIO STATS JOURNAL FOREIGN. A Diversified Picture of Eastern War. the Confi ding Reports as ta Operations in the Balkans. Unconfirmed Report of the Defeat " of Grand Duke Nicholas. Turkish Tactics to Secure Intervention. Destruction of the Bridge at Sistova : and Sinking of a Monitor. Horrible Onliages and General Alarm iuBalgarla. Brief Report from Russian Sourots of the Fall Nioopolis. Testerday's War News and Notes. London, July 1G. A correspondent with the Turks telegraphs, under date of Kara, July 12: Mukhtar Pasha, with the main army, is in strong position on a, ridge eight miles south. The Russians have completely withdrawn from the siege. I have visited their batteries, which are constructed with much skill, but Bhow the accuracy of the Turkish fire. I doubt the possibility of the Russian's gaining any more successes on this side this year, unless she has very strong reinforcements at Acaltzik and Till is. Turkish supports are steadily llowing in. The Russians, despite their strength, have sustained heavy reverses. A correspondent with the Ruasian wing telegraphs from Seaim, 12th : Today we have fallen back. To-morrow we Bhall fall back some distance toward Alexandrople. For sundry considerations the Russians have established a military tribunal to try all Musselmen accused of complicity in Bulgarian massacres, and ate executing men convicted on Bulgarian testimony. Eighteen thousand bombs have been fired at Ears. The expense is 1,500,000 roubles. Three Russian officers and one hundred and sixty soldiers were killed. The siege guns go to Alexandrople. The army is elowly retiring. There is a slight advance by Mukhtar Pasha. His army moves in the direction of Alexandrople. Reinforcements are expected. The Abchaaians, Circassians and Ler-cbians are in full rebellion, and have killed many thousand Russians. Only the middle part of the mountains, with the important road from Vladkelavkaz to Tiflis, is still faithful and to be relied on. A telegram from Shumla yesterday states that the Russian column is marching upon the Balkans via Demi Kapa. This can hardly be identical with the force reported at Yeki Saghra. Concerning the latter a telegram, dated Constantinople to-day, says: Eighteen Russian battalions, led by Bulgarian guides, ave passed Bhifka dehle and arrived by Yeki Saghra. Turkish troops are being concentrated to oppose their advance. This account seems obviously erroneous, for a correspondent reported from Kekauckli, near the southern mouth Shifka pass, as late as July it: I send byway of Adrianople the latest ntelliccnce from this important point. Riotif PaBha is here, at the gateway of the hills on the other Bide ot tne lesser BalkanB. The Cossacks have come close up, and some have even ventured to make partial reconnoisances of the passes. The Turks are Dreoarine to hold every likely defile with the utmost resolution. It would not be advisable to state the number of troops Raouf Pasha has already mustered for the defense of the mountain passes, but they are numerous even now, and will soon be heavily reinforced. A larffo portion of the Ottoman imparial Guard are here, or near at hand. Guns have been pieced in all commanding oositions. or are being bo planted, while at Adrianople and elsewhere the work of fortification goeB forward with an energy which will redeem whatever tardinesa bus hitherto been shown. Now it is hardly credible that eighteen battalions coming through Shifka defile eluded Raouf Pasha, and we hear nothing of his retreat ordefeat. It seems, therefore, most proba ble that the force of CcAjacks have mane their wav acro3s the mountains in the manner indicated in the Bucharest letter of June 24. This letter stated that the Ralkan ranpe abounds in elevated plateaus, inhabited by Heydus (Bul- oarinn refiipepai who have held these fortresses for generations. These Heydi;s are the only people on the face ol the earth who Know tne rseaiaans wor- oughly, and who are competent to point out every defile and pasa through which the troops are able to marcn. several Heydus chiefs who were in Belgrade last year Baid there were passes utterly un known to the turns, or any one eife, dui their own followers, through which tney r-nnld lead infantrv. cavalrv and moun tain guns. These Heydus are in accoru with the Russians. The firat accounts Bay tho Russian force has crossed the Hcion pons, and is destitute of artillery. A correspondent at urnova, juiy iz, has the following, bearing on the sub- As lar as can oe aacenaineu very iew troops are in the Balkans. There are no Turks in the vicinity of Hekla, yet this place is on the direct road to Stevena, from which point Yamboli, on the rail way is soon reached. Ueneral uurKe naa gone forward in that direction to-day, with cavalry end artillery, and the Bul garian legion. Tne Programme r Predicted by lb Lonuun a mien. London, July 16. The Times, In a leading article, says it would not be surprising if the main body of the army should not attempt to cross me .Damans until RuBtchuk be brought at least to the verge of submission. With that great fortress and the railway to Varna in their hands, the invaders might venture to do that which it would be worse than raBh to attempt now. Or is it any answer to these calculations that the Cossacks have already penetrated far into the country ? Our telegraphic intelligence from Vera. contains a surprising re port that a body of those swift horsemen have crossed the Balkans and none as far south as Oxtway station, between Gambol! and Adrianople, but aneh an expedition can only have been made for the purpose of ascertaining the practical difficulties in crossing the Bal kans, and the Cossacks may withdraw as auicklv as thev came. It will be impos sible to measure the progressive power of the Ruisiant qntil they have laid ilegi to Rustchuk and fought a great battle for the possession of the line to Varna. The Times, referring to the reported death of Yakoob Khan, says he was the chief rival of Russia tn Central ABia. Horrible Massacres and Great Panic tn Bulgaria. London, July 10 A Shumla dispatch eays five thousand wagon loads of Turks, old men, women and children, are on the road from Eskijuma and Osman Bizar to Shumla. Horrible massacres have been committed by tho Russians and Bulgarians at Terlora, Orahora and Ilyina. From all directions fugitives in large numbers are ooming in who agree in stating that in the districts occupied by the Russians the most horrible cruelties are perpetrated upon the Mohammedan nnnulaiion bv Cossacks and Bulgarians. Mohammedan children and old men are slaughtered, and women violated and carried off. Official dispatches substantially corroborate these statements. ' The greatest panic exists among the civil population, who are fleeing as fast as they can. Up to Saturday no engagement of importance had been fought. The Russian advance is on the banks of the river Lone. The horse patrols have been pushed forward to within three hours of Raegrad and Vetlova railway stations. Railway communications between Risgrad and Tchernsvoda has been cut. Cossacks are swarming all over the country east of Tersueik. Tlie Tnrklsli Game or Mystification London, July 16. A Theropia dispatch to-day says : Official telegrams direct from the scene of action distinctly contradict private telegrams announcing that the Russians had crossed the BalkanB, and that their advance guard was between Adrianople and Yamkomie. Official telegrams declare that only a few scouts have crossed, and they were easily driven back. This would indicate that the Turks are playing the same game of mystification and exaggeration that they tried in Armenia early in June. Then their object was to find out whether it was poasiblo to force Great Britain to intervene by representing that Russians were masters of the Euphrates valley, the route to India. Their efforts now are probably directed both to England and Austria, the menace in this instance being that the road to Constantinople is in the hands of the Russians. ' It is oertain that no force of Russians adequate for serious operations has crossed the Balkans. Ft in eauallv certain that the Turks would not let telegrams come through if they did not want the impression created that tney are in a cruwai puamuu. Advance Onard of the Russian Re ported Across I lie Balkans. St. Petersburg. June 16. It is offi cially announced that the advance guard of the Russian army passed the Balkans on the evening of the 13th inst., without firing a Bhot. General Yourke, on the afternoon of the' 14th, surprised three hundred Nizana, who lied toward the vil lage of the Kaouri. The Russians lost one killed and five wounded. This is the expedition referred to in a dispatch previously telegraphed. Kauori is fifteen miles northwest of Geni Saghra, at the southern debouchment of the difficult and unfrequented road known as Twarditza pass. Heuortcd Defeat or the Grand unite Nicholas-Bridge at Sistova Destroyed.Constantinople, July 10. An official dispatch announces that kyoub Pasha has attacked the Russians under Grand Duke Nicholas, north of Tirnova, and defeated them, with a loss of 12,000, and the Grand Duke is surrounded. Two Turkish monitors deBtroyed the bridge at Sistova. One monitor was subsequently sunk by torpedos. Abe rorte omciaiiy uecmres luui uiu Russians have burned alive inhabitants of Jonia, near Tirnova, who had taken refuge in a mosque. Great Excitement In Constantinople Keported. St. Petersbijrg, July 16. A large contingent of the Russian army is march ing on the lialkans. jNewa oi tne crossing of the Balkans has evidently caused great excitement in Constantinople. A telegram from that city says the Turkish newspapers urge tne mnamianis to lorm volunteer corpa, is the enemy is at their gates. Work on the fortifications is being carried on with great activity. In Turkish quarters there is a general impression that foreign powers will intervene. Privations of tbe Besieged Russians at Bayazld. St. Petersburg, July 10. An official dispatch from the army of the CaucaBUS announces that the Russian garrison at Bavazid consisted on June 18, of four ntaff officers. 20 officers and 1587 men Of these two staff officers and 114 men were killed and seven officers and 359 men were wounded during the Biege, ihe remain. der were much weakened by privations, and will reauire great care before they can recover. The garriaon lived on horse- aesh toward the end of the sisge. Defeat of Grand Duke Nicholas not Confirmed. Constantinople. July 16. The re port of the defeat of the Grand Duke Nicholas is not confirmed by dispatches from Redif Pasha. It was probably based on false reports mane to local authorities. Biouf Pasha sends a dispatch formal ly confirming the report that the Russians have been beaten in the iivaruuzna pass, The advance of the Russians was exagger ated by the station irftster at Yeni Saghra, who waB influenced by the general panic. A Hnaslun feint at a Balkan Pats- Constantinople. July 16. The Rus sians, who number fifteen, not eighteen battalions, have crossed the mountains throiurh Troardilzka pass.

Episcopal Qazette.l Hardy was a bright little boy who lived in an old Spanish town in the far away South. He was six years old, and very fond of trying at leaat to be "a man" by imitating his father and gentlemen friends in whatever he saw theui do. One day his mother came in, and found him standing upon a chair in front of his father's dressing case, holding in. one band his razor, and in the other the brush, with which he had just lathered his face. He had succeeded so well in this part of his "shave," that his mother had hard work to convince him that the next step might bring him sorrow instead of fun. He was a resolute little fellow, and would persist in what he undertook, even after being warned of the danger by those who were older and knew better. So he was always getting into scrapes in the house or in the garden, carrying his experiments even into the kitchen, where bis black "mammy" was now installed as cook, and whoBe patience he tried "past all bearing," as he said; for Hardy was an an only child, and petted and spoiled accordingly.There was one thing he had never been able to try, for want of an opportunity; for his father did not Bmoke, and how to get a cigar he did not know. He could only lOOK WllU auniiring ejen upuu jiib father's smoEing visitors, anu long lor ine tim tn come when he. too, could take a cigar from its case, and hold it "just so" and, he practiced with a bit of grape vine, or rolled-up paper unea witn leaves, and "pretended" they were cigarettes, such as the dark-eyed senoritas used. But one day bio longing was satisfied. His papa had a dinner party, and Hardy as usual followed the gentlemen to the library after dinner, and perched himself upon his father's knee, and watched the curling smoke as it rose from the smokers' lips, and thought and wished : " Oh 1 how nice 1 now iikb a man ii iwimiu make me 1" until his eager eyes muBt have told his thoughts ; for a young doctor Bit ting near the hearth, with a merry twinkle in his eye, beckoned him to take a seat-in a chair at his side, holding out slyly a cigar as a temptation. Hardy's father did not nonce, ana in anotner momentwas ever anything bo delightful-he had the cigar in hie mouth, and a lighted match in his hand, and was at last, sure enough,' doing just what the other gentlemen did. He took two or .1 ,.:T AiAw't oltnrratKav lilrn tVto taste, and somehow the smoke uidn t come out right, but would go into his throat instead, which made him cough, and almost drop hie precious cigar. "Take care, .Hardy," said tne merry young doctor, "you have to Bmoke fast, nr vnnr cleat will bo out. Now, I am eoing to light a fresh one, and we'll see W no cau get nuu8u mo.. Hardv was delighted, bntjuBt here his father turned arouna wnu a very ouuun-H fcB. and was beginning to speak. when his new inena, tne aocior, saiu something in a language he did not un derstand. His father stopped, with a doubtful, puzzled look, however, as if he did not half like the sight he saw, and could not just make up his mind to let him alone, "Smoke fast now, Hardy. Who'll beat ?" urged the doctor; and Hardy did smoke fast so last, tbat ins curiy neaa was soon hidden in a cloud of smolte so fast that when hs stopped to take breath. he had only about an inch of. cigar left; and that brought the fare too near his nose, and, come to think of it, he was very warm. Ho was too near the grate, and, oh, dear 1 what a very queer feeling under his vest, iuat where his apron used to be. "What's the matter, Hanlv? Have an- nf hpr 1" said the doctor. "No. thank you; I I" with both hands tishtlv clasped across his breaat, "I don't feel very well;" and indeed the pale face and blue rings round his mouth ana eyeB were piuiui iu see. Thin time the doctor didn't laugh, and Hardy 'b father came across the room with i a quick step, and caught him in his arms and took him to his own little room.tuck-ed him in bed, and called his mamma, who came with a bewildered look, wondering what could have made her little boy so very ill all at once. And here he lay for long hours oh, bo sick, with great drops of sweat that fell so cold upon hie face. Mamma wiped them off again and again, and tried everything bay rum, camphor, cologne, her smelling bottle, but to no use. He seemed to grow worse and worBe, until mamma cried, and thnneht verv hard things of the gay young doctor, whose experiment seemed cruel, Un, mamma, j. enau uie Wnn't I? Ah I Ah I Ah 1 Oh o-o-o," such a long groan, such a dreadful sick ness, that seemed to laae an uis Birengm, even to the tips of his fingers and toes, He could hardly wink his eyes, eo weak did he feel; and strange to say the very word "cigar" or "(mote seemea lo mase Mm wn everv time, and made his head go round and round like his new hum ming top, But at last it seemed longer to Hardy than from Christmas to Christmas again he began to feel, not better, but "juat not unite eo bad, mamma," he said, in a weak little voice that it seemed must belong to some one else. Tbe daylight was all gone, and it was long after mamma s bed time. when he felt that ho dared shut his eyes and try to sleep; for with his eyes shut and mamma out ot signi ne "was sure ne would die.

He thought he understood now what papa meant when he talked to mamma by bis bed yesterday, about "EsV perience being the beBt teacher;" and when by and by, his mamma came in, would not be satisfied until she had written him a little pledge "all my own, mamma, and about tobacco instead of whisky, and I will keep it truly," he said, as he printed bis name at the bottom of it. This is a true Btory, boys, and really happened nearly twenty years ago. Hardy is now a man in reality, and I think you will be glad to know that up to this time his "first cigar" has been his last. Won t some of you have a little pledge of your own, and take Hardy's word for it, that tobbacco does not mane little boys manly, or men gentlemen? "Old 81" on Hayes's Trip Soma.
