The Daily Telegraph has issued a spe cial edition containing the following from Constantinople under date of Sunday night: "The Porte has refused the firman permitting the British fleet to come to Constantinople, on the ground that if the Sultan allows it, the Russian forces will probably occupy the city." A dispatch to Reuters' telegram com pany from St Retersburg, says : "The Agence Hasse issues an article repeating its declaration of Saturday, that the en try of the fleets of the powers into the Bosphorus at a moment when peace is being negotiated, will imply full liberty of action for Russia. It says: If the pres ence of the fleets is necessary for the protection of Christians, this duty belongs equally to the Russian troops." , - The afternoon Pall faU Gazette Rays "It was known in ull embassies in Lon don this morning that the roue had re fused to allow the British, fleet to ap proach Constantinople.

In consequence of the urgent order re ceived at the Catham dock yard from the admiralty tO'day, the whole force, n unla beling four thousand men, will begin working extra hours to complete the ves sels in hand.

THE GREAT EASTERN QUESTION. Loxnox, Feb. 12,The correspondent of the Times at St. Petersburg, telegraphs as follows: ''lean state postivdy that orders have been sent to the Russian transports to enter Constantinople. Count Schouvaloff has been ordered to explain to Lord Derby that as the great powers have, determined to 'send their fleets to Constantinople, Russia is obliged to adopt similar measures, but Russia has no in tention of aggro rating the situation." The Times, in a leading article, says a portion of the British fleet will proceed to Constantinople; that it is unavoidable after what has occurred. The leaders points out that Lord Derby emphasised his statement that the other powers may uot consider it necessary to avail them selves of the firiuans for the admission of their fleets, although they had applied for them. It is possible, therefore, that the British and Russian fleets alone may he present at Constantinople. Sueh a posi tion would be one of the gravest anxiety. Everything may turn upon the character of the Russian occupation. A mere de monstrative occupation, as thatof Paris, 4ugltf HO Jto be regarded as alaro) jn;, but au occupation iu force with no apparent lim it In point of time would thro v upon our government very gray responsibility.

The news of the refusal by the Porte of the firman for the passage5 of the traits by the fleet has caused a great Rensatlou, ojftghycjtemwit i les than it was last week. ... Tills niorbiuff limes', in its leading editorial articte says the fleet, must go to Constantinople fdf the protection df Eng land's legitimate interests In the city and straits. There need tie no disguise that thin is the real .pdrpose with which our fleet will be seal to the Bosphorns, aud Lord rjerby 'wotitd have done well to have avowed this fot pTaiuly, instead of eva ding Its responsibility by the transparent. excuse of affording protection to British subjects and other persons, in the event of excitement in the Turkish capital. It isgbest to avow the simple truth, that is we intend to have a 'voice in the settle ment of the future, both of Constantinople and the straits. We deem it prudent and our plain right to assert some hold upon these important positious. But Russia,, beyond question, has not the slightest oc casion for any further military guarantee for her claims than she alresdy possesses. The Turks aud Constantinople itself are at her mercy. QUEER RESOLUTIONS. The following original and suggestive resolutions were adopted at a public meet ing in Hanover county, Va., some days ago: 1. That our people have been so much impoverished by the reckless use of artifi cial fertilizers, reliance on worthless la bor, extravagance in catiug, drinking, and dress endeavoring to 'maintain mite hel ium customs and habits), idleness, indo lence, and dissipation, that we really believe that they are unable to bear a heavier burden of taxes than they now labor under. 2. That many of our fellow-citizens and a majority of our legislators have exer cised their minds and directed their ener gies for ro long a time in devising ways and means, plans and schemer, devices and subterfuges, to evade the payment of debts, we verily believe their thoughts can run in no other channel ; and any serious proposition to meet an honest pecuniary obligation would be esteemed by them as au evidence of demoralization as conclusive as fulling from grace. 3. That the gloom and despondency have settled like a funeral-pall up on which our people have been greatly increased by the puerile "motions" ; the poiutless, windy, and egotistical speeches; the selfish and uncompromising conduct.; the waste of precious time, obliviousness to the vital emergencies of the hour, and dallving with the patience and confidence of the people, by our legislators.

The tomb at Mount Vernon containing the remains of Washington, has been con nected with the mansion by an electric burglar alarm, which will give warning if any attempt is made to enter the tomb.

PROSPECTUS OF The Mim Recoil The Davidson Record, well known to the people of iJavidson county as their campaign want of the business men and of the interests of the countv. The time has come when almost ! every county lind it indispensable to have a public journal oj its own to represent its inter ests in the various ad'.iirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journar within its bounds especially devoted to the pro motion of the local interests of the community. Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par tial iTy and pride of the hection it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increa ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home tnd abroad. The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money rep ircd for its support is far less than the material good it does, it ia the best invest ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the ilitics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to puhlie affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions oLpublic concern, and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard. He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sakeif party or anything else; bijt by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to net wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con victions are most decidedly in acirord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva" tive party.
