Englishmen suspected of supplying the Turks with information of Russian move ments; the latter are changing their plan of campaign accordingly. Earl Derby is for telling Russia that when she marches to Constantinople it will be to confront British troops. The English Cabinet is still preparing for an emergency. The Turks have been badly defeated at Kara. The Turks were driven from all their posi tions with heavy loss. The victory is very important. The battle lasted two days. -Seven Russian sr ies have beeu shot by the Turks. The Turks fired upon a French vessel at Batoum; an explanation is demanded. Great excitement in Now l ork among the Israelites because a uotcd Jew was excluded from the Grand Union Hotel. Strike of operatives at Paterson, N.

Latest By Mail. Pram Washington. rSpceial to Baltimore Sun. Washington, Juno 17. It looks after all as if President Hayes did not purpose spending much more of his summers in Washington than did Gen. Grant. His trip to New England will occupy a week or more, and after that he has promised lo mako a trip South. Then he ex pects to put m considerable time at the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs. It is expected, by the way, that there will, during this summer Imj. a large congregation of promi nent politicians of both parties at the White Swphur, who will combine pleasure with the concoction of po litical schemes and combinations. GARFltfLD's DISAPPOINTMENT. During the recent visit of General Garfield here ho kept very quiet, and Jrequented no public places what ever. His friends say that he is bit terly disappointed at the condition in which he finds himself. lie gave up his chance to be Senator to pursue a phantom in the Speakership, and he "TTnds that after all his sacrifices his influence at the White House is ex ceedingly limited,as he gets nothing he asks for. His refusal to give out tho text of the President's letter to him is jirompted, it is alleged, by the de termination to keep the letter for fu ture use, and to produce it, when the consequences may be much more se rious than they wonld be at present. -HuT friends say, however, that he will not publish it without the con sent of the President. The President feels some embarrassment on the subject. When he wrote the letter he was a little more free in his ex pressions than be would be, now that he has discovered how difficult it is to keep anything secret that goes on in Washington. THE MEXICAN INVASION. The government has received ad vices from Lieut. Gen. Sheridan that an engagement on Mexican soil of partisans of Lerdo and Diaz was transferred across the Rio Grande to our side of the border. The United States forces interfered and captured some forty Mexicans and disarmed them. Gen. Sheridan applied here for instructions. The subject was considered at the Cabinet meeting on t nday, and uenerai Sheridan was directed to hold the prisoners for further orders. The invasion of American soil has thus been initiated by the Mexicans, and the result may be of much importance in view of the delicate relations now existing between the two governments as a consequence or the late uabmet in structions to General Orel. Tweed-ledom. New York, June 18. There have been no new develop ments in 1 weed s case, it is report ed that the confession, about which so much has been said, will be held over until to-morrow night, when it will be given to the press. Mr. Towusend, l weed's counsel, was busily engaged to-day in preparing a statement which will be published at the same time that 1 weed s confes sion is given to the public. It is con fidently asserted by those who ought to know that the amonnt of the Sweeney compromise has been mis stated, and that it is not over $300, 000. This Mr. Peck denies, and states that the arrangement is as fol lows: Cash paid, $150,000; cash to be paid, $50,000; notes secured, $200,000; total $400,000. The French Caldron.

San Francisco, June 17. A dispatch received to-dav from Lieut. Wilkinson, now at Wallnla, conveys the startling news of an up rising of Indians, and states that they were murdering whites at Mt. Idaho, which is situated 60 miles from Lewiston. He asks to have a boat dispatched at once from Walla-Walla to convey soldiers to Lewiston. The order has beeu complied with, aud all available troops at Walla- W alia will be dispatched at once to the scene of the dimcul ty. Another dispatch says several settlers living on Cottonwood Creek have been massacred by In dians, and the messenger who brought the intelligence to La Pivai was en trapped and wounded by the savages. Gen. Howard, who is beyond Walla Walla, has just telegraphed to Adju tant General Wood, in this city, to forward all the available troops with out delay to the scene of trouble. Great excitement prevails. It is. however, thought the reports have been exaggerated. Annexation Project. New York, June 18. A special to tho Herald from New Orleans, reports a movement in Mex ico for annexing the Northern tier of the Mexican States to the United States. The stock raisers in the border counties of Texas are making Bworn statements at the instigation of the Washington authorities of their losses during the past ten years by Mexican raids. These" are sent to Washington, and the State Depart ment is taking them m hand. Servla's attitude. London, June 18. The Standard publishes a Pesth dispatch saying, in order to avoid ground for the intervention of Aus tria, Servia will maintain armed neu trality. This has not prevented the negotiation of a treaty between Rus sia and Servia, enabling Russia to transport troops through Servia. Al ready seven thousand men are march ing toward Gladova.

An Alamance correspondent of the Raleigh Observer writes: Tbe cereal crop is, in' the main, above tbe average of the few past years. Wheat is low but well eared, beginning to assume its golden liv ery, and promises an ample harvest. The Presbyterians have erected a fine. handsome church edifice at X Roads, in the northeastern part of Alamance, which will be dedicated next Sabbath. It is a large, substantial structure, and speaks well for the piety and religious liberality of that denomination. The condition of Alamance is better in a material way than at any period since the close of the late conflict of arms. Charlotte Observer: The Good Templars seem to be getting under way again.

Yesterday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, an unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the fowl house of Mr. A. OH Fienken. corner of Eleventh and Market streets. The premises are not occupied at present, as some building operations are in progress, but a colored man, by the name of Murphy, is paid to guard the place at night to keep off intruders. The thief, hav ing with him a bag in which to place the chickens when captured, seized a favor able opportunity and attempted to carry out his attentions, when two fierce dogs that are kept on the premises made an at tack upon him. He retreated, with the dogs pressing bim closely in tbe rear, one of them having him by the seat ofjhis pants, while Murphy, tbe watchman, was vainly trying to draw a bead upon bim witb a trusty shot-gun, but afraid to fire lest he should shoot the dog instead of the thief. Finally they reached the middle of the street, when the. dogs relinquished their game and Murphy fired upon the fellow as he ran off, but without any perceptible re sult, further than to quicken the steps of the freightened chicken stealer.

The excursion yesterday, on the steamer North East, to Col. Mcllhenny's plantation, below this city, under the auspices of the Sunday school teachers of SL Paul's Luth eran church, is pronounced on all sides to have been an extremely pleasant one, be ing not only a success as far as, pleasure and enjoyment was concerned, but also filly meeting the expectations of the com mittee in a financial point of view.

We are informed by one of the Magis trates (Col. Hall) that tbe fact is not gener ally understood that an act was passed by the last General Assembly, in relation to the probate of deeds and conveyances, and the privy examination of married women, which provides "That all deeds, mort gages, conveyances, releases, powers ot at torney, contracts, or other writings re quired by law to be registered, and the privy examination of any married woman as to her due execution of any such in strument, may be acknowledged or proved, or taken by any one of the follow ing courts or officers, namely: a Superior Court Clerk or Justice of the Peace, or any Courtt of record having a seal, or any Judge, Justice, or Clerk of any such Court, (except the Register of Deeds and ex-offlcio Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners.) The second section of this act provides that when such acknowledgement, proof, or privy examination shall be taken before Court, or the Cletk thereof, the same shall be attested by the seal of such Court, and when taken before a Justice of the Peace, the same shall, before registration, be ad judged to be correct and sufficient by the Clerk of some Court of record, (other than the Register of Deeds) in tbe county where such justice may reside; and when to be registered in auy county, other than that in which taken, such Clerk shall, in addi tion, certify that such Justice was a Justice of the Peace in his county at the time when the proof, acknowledgement or privy examination was taken. An Appeal. The following from the President of the Ladies' Benevolent Association speaks for tiBelf: Most reluctantly the President of the La dies' Benevolent Society feels constrained to present, for the serious consideration of tbe community, a subject which seems to be of vital interest to all who desire to pro mote the comfort and well-being of society around us: the care of tbe sick those who are reduced in circumstances by !want of employment. Many of these are daily re ferred to us by kind bearted physicians for medicines and suitable diet, and have re ceived all the aid within our reach, with the limited means we have. But, our funds. being nearly exhausted, we found it neces sary to retrench and had to confine our-' selves to giving food, leaving the providing of medicines to the county, which was made known through the press. We were , afterwards informed this would be done, but requesting the endorsement of tbe President to each prescription (we know not why), but this was not refused. To-day w j earn ttrat tne county only contracts for medicines to the amount of $15 per month, and the Society is supposed to be re sponsible for the rest. Already the contract for tbe current month is filled. And the, question comes, will the Society continue the supply ? It were cruel to stop this without warning while so many are in a Critical condition and penniless. We take tne responsibility for tbe present week, hoping to gain the attention of attending physicians, and of those in the community who can aid us in devising some plan for relieving the distressed at this point If sufficient means are placed in our hands we will cheerfully do our part in aiding those who suffer privations such as must accrue from sickness and poverty com bined. Should this aid be withheld, we sorrowfully confess that the amount of iunds now in hand will not justify us in promising any further supplies than such as have been given for some months past chiefly corn meal and occasionally a piece of fresh meat for destitute families, with a little coffee or tea, sugar, rice, crackers or loaf bread, and sometimes eggs for the sick and, when ordered by the doctor, a stimulant in small quantities for severe cases. There are yet full six months to the close of our year, and for all this our limited funds will barely suffice. Friends of hu manity, think of us, and lend us a helping hand. . : June 18 1877. ' adjourned. Yesterday afternoon the Criminal Court, which has been in session since Monday, tbe 14th inst., adjourned for the term. Du ring the session an immense amount of business was disposed of, there having been one hundred and five convictions, comprising the crimes of bigamy, forgery, perjury, larceny, fraud and deceit, assault with attempt to commitrape, together with a number of misdemeanors, &c. His Honor, Judge Meares, sentenced eighteen convicts to the penitentiary for various terms, and five to the county work house, thus ridding the community of a large number of vicious characters, who have been preying upon the property! of good citizens, and otherwise setting the laws at defiance. False Pretences. A colored individual by the name of Hamp Gray, was arrested yesterday, by Officer Carr, on the charge of altering the figures on an order on Mr. , Thomas Beck for thirty cents and making tbe amount $1.50.

To be attractive is a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her do mestic circle, and to society.
