For restoring hair upon bald heads (from

The Russian March in Northwestern In

tracted TJic coming struggle or Pos
session of Constantinople A Division
of Asia and Turkey in Europe.
Correspondence of London Times.
Calcutta, April 27. The prospect of a
war in Europe, and especially the designs
of 'Russia on the Danube and. Constanti
nople, excite discussion in native no less
than in English society here. Especially
in the former the advance of Russia to
wards Bokhara and Cabul is discuseed
with no little eagerness, and with a degree
of exaggeration natural to politicians whose
knowledge of geography is So haxy. The
opinions -ot the really aisconremea,
the Mussulmans, do not find public expres
sion, but on tbe whole tbey welcome the
approach of Russia iust as we know tbe
mass of thepeople do in Central Asia. It
is trne that Russian c vilization, backward
though it be, is hostile to the fanaticism of
Samarand and uoanara, out n prcsi-m
the Russians are wise enough to conciliate
and so disarm that fanaticism, while ever
since the Crimean war, which bad so close
an influence on the mutiny, the discontent
ed ofludia are well aware that the Russian
influence is hostile to the English in East
ern politics, and dream that between the
two tbey will accomplish their wishes.
A weak English army in India will
again prove their opportunity, aa it did
when Lord Dalhousic's remonstrances, were
mjieeded before 1857. Now,' whether it
he an European war for tbe preservation
of the independence of Belgium, or one for
the possession of the two roads to the East
by Egypt and the Euphrates, that is,
whether the enemy be France or Russia,
the English army in India is likely to be
reduced even below its present minimum of
60,000 men. When the struggle fr n-
stantmople eonie4t is weT understood by
me native politicians in mum uiw
my will be divided and distracted by Rns
sia, being himself on otar northwest fron
tier, or stirring up the restless tribes there,
and by s 'Russian fort on the Danube1 and
Black Sea, as in .1844. The Russian at
tempt on tonstantiniople failed, reason
4ioyf only because her second line of op
erations against us in Central Asia bad uot
been formed.
To remedy that mistake her steamers
are now on the Jaxartes and Oxus ; her
outposts sre within three hundred miles. of
our frontier;, her understanding with
Persia is complete; and ber popularity
among the pcoi.le of Central Asia is for the
time unbounded, and will be

this asay be attributed to contempt for

them too insignificant to be worthy of no

will be encouraged by this advance of the
Russians; "but," adds tbe writer, ''in oar
opinion tbey are out in their calculations,

with tbe Affghans." The writer calls up
on the Government to look to this, and
to sid tbe king of Bokhara aud other
chiefs.
In the same paper, a few weeks later,
: we have this representation of native opin
i ion regarding the Russians : "The Rus
j sians are at Taskhund and Juxzuk making
railroads, building cantonments, etc. In
' many places mercantile firms have been es
; tabliahi'd and trading has commenced. At
1 first the Russian leather coat sold for 'two
i rupees, now it is sold at one rupee, because
Russia and Bokhara are one country. It
I is also given out that as the Russian force
! advances, Russian goods will be cheaper ;
this is done to deceive people. The Rus
sian Governor mixes freely, And is very
friendly with all the respectable people,
! and eats at the feast given. In his con
i versatiou he always states that on tbe face
of tli,- whole earth there are but four kings
I viz., Russia, France, Kisor Rome and Aus
, 1 1 ia, and that no other is king by iuhen
I tance."
The Oudh Ukbar, recognizing the hope
lessness of asking England anything in
these times of non-intervention, advises
Russia and Persia to use their friendship
in settling. the affairs of Affitgbanistan.
1 he K hair Kbwab .Punjab urges England
and Russia to divide Asia and Turkey in
Europe between them, by making a friend
ly alliance. The necessity for interven
tion is thus recognised : "England has
done all in ber power to dig Russia's grave
and Russia has no confidence in England.
Concerning Central Asia, the people of
England have changed their opiaion, and
consider it a matter of congratulation that
Sir Roderiek Purbasiiii Sabih had diaulina.

idea that the Russians intend to attack
Hindustan. It will be no wonder if tbe
English and Russians divide Central Asia
between them, and there is no harm in ta
king a country which, up to this time, has
been conquered by another race; nor is
there any necessity for limiting such coun
tries to the Indian empire. There ia no
doubt that at last they will have to send
an agent to Bokhara, and if tbe necessity
be arranged for in the time of Sir John
Lav r nice, it will be all the better, because
the reproach that is in the rule of Sir John
Lawrence via ; that lie is silent will be
then removed, and none will doubt that
8b John Lawrence's successor will have
to do it if be does not."
There is not one native power, even Ben
galee, which approves the policy of the
hour noii-in tervent ion. It will certainly
be Well for England to show less indifftr
encoon the subject. The government of
India is not heedless though it is inactive.
Sir John Lawrence maintains a vigilant
watch, and has sources of information that
it would not be prudent for me to disclose.
The emancipation question in Cuba is
i again rumored. A paiuslt mail steamer,
it is said, recently arrived, brought out a
royal decree declaring free all colored chil
dren born of slave parents on snd after tbe
1st of July next. After that date 'auy
slave may obtain bis or ber liberty for the
sum of two hundred and fifty dollars.
There seems to be no donbt that such a
decree had been received by tbe Cap-am
General, aftboagh it had not been publish
ed for fear that tbe sudden circulation
might occasion dangerous eominotiou
among the negroes. Setting a price upon
tbe 4ibery which any slave nay n-awpur-chase
will perhaps enhance tbe value of
the proffered boon and serve to stimulate
! ambition and energy. It is not Improba
ble that among tbe immediate practical re
sults of emancipation in Cuba may be a
temporary disorganisation of labor so great
as to raise the price of sugars and of prime
Havana still higher, if possible, than they

It is much to be deplored that we hive
so long misunderstood the true position of

it will, with sleepless vigilance, watch for,
aud with rigid and unrelenting severity,
exclude from participation in the process
of reconstruction not only every element
adverse to, but all not in sympatby with

Some fault-finding reader may here say to
himself that this remark is calculated to

tbe decree has gone fortb, not to be re

embody Union supremacy, and shall be
the grave of State sovereignty, secession

but to admonish and forewarn our South

our derision. All who have observed Ui3

would only say that the Southerners now
bad the mildest terms offered them they ev
er would get. If they chose to accept them
well and good ; they might have all tbe
advantage of ench action ; if they refused
them, another turn would be given te the
screw, and they would be compelled to
yield, whether tbey wished to or mrt
Congress had thus far been with the peo
ple, and would not now desert them under
the lead of Johnson or tbe devil. Hit
bearers might rest assured of One thing,
that reconstruction was as certain to take
place as that the sun was shining.
Mr. Wade then said that as be bad kept
in advance of the people in tkcigreat strife
between freedom and slavery, be meant to
do tbe same thing in the contest which bad
just commenced for extending the right of
suffrage to women. Be was unqualifiedly
in favor of equal rights for all, not only
without regard to nationality and color,
but without regard to sex.
Senator Wade then proceeded to say
that there was another question upon which
he would express his views, although his
hearers might differ from him in opinion.
We had disposed of the question of slave
ry, and now that of labor and capital must
pass through the ordeal. The shadow of
the approaching struggle between these
two great interests was already upon us,
and it would do no good to turn our backs
upon tbe question. It must be met. Prop
erty was not equally divided, and a more
equal distribution of capital must be wrought
out , That Congress wbicb bad done so
much for the slave cannot quietly regard
the terrible distinction which exists be
tween the man that labors and him that
does not. Applause.
"If you diillheads," said the speaker,
can't see this, the women will, and will
act accordingly." It will not be long be
fore tbe laborers will demand of canvass
eis, upon tbe eve of an election, " What
will you do for as V and they will have a
satisfactory answer. It is not right or just
that any man should be compelled to labor
until life is worn out and being is a curse.
The Almighty did not intend that thia
should be the case, nor will it always remain
so. More leisure must be given to people
for mental accomplishments, and labor sa
ving machines had not yet fulfilled their
mission, since they bad failed to effect this
result.
One of our exchanges hits the truth ia
the following t -..t'heliBea'wSo'foagliVr'si
says, "have yielded- more readily to the
Congressional plan of Reconstruction than
those who staid at home. Generals who
will be disfranchised by the Constitutional
Amendment, repjnmend' its acceptance,
while men who only talked treason and
krpt their precious bodies out of barm, are
full of patriotic defiance ! " This is the
case everywhere. -Files the man who dis.
turbed the Motilo meeting, and interrupt
ed Kelly's speech, occupied a "bomb
proof" during the entire war, and those
men who talk the loudest in bar-rooms and
on street corners, were nearer guilty of stri
king, a blow .against tbe Union. But while
acknowledging the tru'h of thia when it
Suits their purpose to do so, the Radicals
make tbe entire Southern people responsi
ble for the sets of those few men who took
no part in , the war, and -who now talk
Iqudly for fear of being considered so wards.
