The Xnrs Ibrail cor rcp.t: lent, telegraphing Friday, says evident that the great crossing will 1 iu to-morrow at daylight. The , L ile Russian force here will cross on :hc bridge, and the Russians will thus ctabltsh thcmselvrs firmly on the oth er flic of the Danube. As there is now a hole army corps here, there is a vaCkicat number of troops to maintain themselves and even take the offensive. The otfscr crowing, provided this one uccccd to-morrow, will be compara tively easy. 3Thc Ru.4un tactics now will be to push the force here forward as rapidly as possible to the Dobradjcba extending a hand to the Russian forces on the war up the Danube. This will enable the ftrce at Hirxora to cross without difficulty, and on proceeding higher up it can likewise extend a hand to the other forces at Kalarash anJ eren 01 tcnttza, &nouia tne lurxs aeucn a force from about Rostchuk and Nik- opolis auflicient to stop its progress they will so weaken their line at this point that the Russian troops between Giurrero and Turna-Maeurtlli would be able to cross with comparatively little Iom. Later accounts from Ibrail agree with the Galatx correspondent In show- ing that the fighting was serious at the crossing apposite Galatx. An Ibrail correspondent, telegraph ing at 10 o'clock Friday night, says : A Russian doctor who crossed with the first detachment of eight hundred, in- lorms me ne noes not believe oui 01 thi number twenty areleftalive or ua- hurt. ! I The news correspondent at Itzani, I under date of June 1 says : "Un tne night of the 23d instant 1,500 infantry crossed at Rem, 200 in front of Galatz. On the 21st 2,500 crowed during the J : U 1 r 1 - I day with cannon, and reinforcements afterwards arrived from Reni, and Ga latz. Kight thousands Russians par ticipated in the occupation of the heights commanding Matchin." The Daily AVtrV special from Buch arest Sundiy night estimates that 11, 000 Russians have crossed at Galatz and Ibrail. It appears that the Turks made an attempt to cross from Lam- palanka into Little Wallachia during yesternight. The details are unknown. The Times special from Bucharest says news has been received here that Tultcha and Isaktcha have been evac uated by the Turkish troops, and the civil authorities have retired to Baba Dagh. The Daily Xctrs dispatch from Vicn- na cunaay nigni says on me wa io,wv Russians received orders to move to Girla, noithwcat from Kalafat. Large convoys of provisions have been sent to Severin. The coming week promises to be an important one. The limrs Vienna dispatch says news of operations for crossing the Turnu- Magurelli and Simnitza sectitn of the river is momentarily expected. OrriCIAL CC'oUNT OF THE RECENT ENGAGEMENT DEFEAT OF THE TURKS. P.y Cale to the Washing ton Republican. Sr. Petersbubg, June 21. An of ficial account of the engagement fought by the troops who crossed from Galatz and occupied the Budjah bights says the Russian forco consisted often com panies cf infantry, who crossed in boats and were received by a heavy fire. They, however, valiantly attacked the heights, and drove back the enemy. The Turkish force consisted of 3,000 in fantry, 300 cavalry and two gnns. The Russians having no cavalry or artillery were obliged to resist the Turkish cav alry with the bayonet. The Turks withdrew on the arrival of Russian re inforcements and artillery. The Rus sian losses were forty-eight killed and ninety wounded. General Zimmerman telegTaptrs that the clergy and Chris tian inhabitants of Matchin received the Russians with great ceremony. One regiment is already in the town, and will be reinforced by a brigade under General Tokoff. MONTENEGRO. London, June 25. The Times cor respondent at Ccttinje telegraphs the following: "Tho Turkish losses are absolutely incalculable. All Sunday afternoon artillery and rifles have been firing on the column as it moves down the valley. Th pursuit will be kept up until the column reaches the pro tection of the guns of Spuz, while it has still to run the gantlet of Flame natz's divion at Martinitza." The Vienna correspondent of the Times says the Montenegrins are said to have lost almost one-seventh of their force. Especially the insurgent bands appear to havs suffered very severely. Numbers cf Montenegrinsare beginning to cross over to Cattaro and Budua, so that it has been thought adfisable to strengthen the cordon alonjr. the fron tier. A dispatch from Constantinople of Juno 24 says an official dispatch from Podgoritza announces that the united divisions of Suleiman Tasha and Ali Saib arc successfully advancing on Mon negro. The Montenegrins have evacu ated Cettinje. Three thousand woun ded have been removed thence to Cat taro. INDICATI053 OF A JUNCTION' BETWEEN THE RUSSIA LEFT AND CENTRE THE CAPTURE OF BAJAZID. London, June 24. In Asia the most important stragetical event has been the re-establishment of the connection between the Russian left and centre, as proTCd by the ftct that in the previ- I ous battle the Zeidckin left was strong Mr reinforced from the centre. All known of ?ubcjucat operations has been contained in our previous tele- grams. Further account ;rom Turkish sour- CC3 relative, to the recapture of liajazid state that the l!usian garrison have entrenched themselves r.car the town.

Tin- Rucsiau cavalry were placed in au intrenchmeut to act as infantry, but ultimately the Turks drove them out and pursued them, the Russians retreating iu disorder as far as Zcidekah. The whole of the fig!.. lug lasted 33 hours. The Turkish los according to the latest accounts was upwvrd of 2,0Q, and the Russian much heavier. THE OPERA HONS ON THE PA.CUr.E. London, June 2-3 The Titus' Vien na special says: "Simultaneously with the crossing into the Dobrudscha, news comes of a general movement o; the Russian troops between Slatina and Alexandria down to the Danube, be tween Turun-Magurelli and Simnitza, the Ninth Army Corps, which forms the extreme right of the Russian Army, leading the way," Reuter's dispatch from Shumla says the bombardment of Rustchuk, which was commenced by the Russians, con tinues with great vigor. A special dispatch from Bucharest to the Time?, dated Sunday, says : "Pre liminary operations on the Danube have commenced in earnest. Bom bardments continued along the whole line to-day, including the batteries at Oltenitza, Bckct, Grahova and Kalafat. The Turks ar-3 reported to hi prepar ing to concentrate their forces on the Lower Dauubc, and the fortresses form ing the quadrilateral Rustchuk, Sal istra, Shumla and Varna leaving the Widdin force isolated. London, June 2G. Tho Standard has the folloviug dispatch from Vien na: "It is supposed the Czar will leave Bucharest for Alexandria to be present at the crossing- thereabouts, which is expected either oa Tuesday cr Thursdav. A fearful contest is ex pected at Rustchuk, There are 800 cases of typhoid in the Russian hos pitals." The Tout's Bucharest special says the corps now entering the Dobrudscha is ordered to advance as quickly as pos sible up to the line of the Czernavoda and Kustendje Railway. After their arrival the right wing of the centre Army will force a passage higher up tho stream. A Daily Xeics special, dated Vicuna Monday night says: "ThcT Russians have made a second crossing at Hirso va; A force of 1S.000 men passsd over, and has effected a junction with detach ments coming from Matchin, and will to-morrow march against tho Turkish line of defence between Czeruavoda. and Kustendje. The Turks are mak ing great exertions to defend the line along Trajau's Wall, between Czerna- - 1 Toda and Kustendje, which has been strengthened by recent fortifications throughout its entire length. Relative to the bombardment which is now progressing between Euatchut and Giurgevo, both sides make the usual charges of inhumanity." Lospour, Jane 26. The Czar has left for GiurgeTO. Prince Gortschak- off has arrired in Bucharest, accom- panied by the staff of Ihe Russian Chancellery. Up to Monday 28,000 Russians had crossed the Danube at Ibrail. The Daily Kew has the following from Rustchuk.IMonflav : "The entire population are flying 'inter the neigh- boring villages. The Governor-General of the province has declared that he hold the authorities responsible for the lives of tho fugitives,' who are mostly Christians. Twelve shells have fallen upon the military hospitals, five upon the civil hospital, and two upon the Orphan Asylum. The patiento were seized with a panic, and have left their beds. The Turks in return partly des troyed Giurgevo. Seven hundred shells fell there yesterday and 800 to day. One Russian battery has been dismounted. The Russians apparently meditato a seriou attempt to capture 1 tlm !cfonl nfPirronii " ! thc island of Pyrgos. At Rustchuk the consulates France, Italy, Greece, Germany, and Belgium have been injured by the Rus sian fire. A Rustchuk dispatch of June2G says: "The bombardment of this place con tinued all yesterday. English agents report that the English consulate, which had a large Union Jack floating, seems to have been siDgled out for a concentrated fire, and was completely destroyed," A Constantinople dispatch says ; "It i3 asserted that the English Consul at Rustchuk, who also acts for the United States, unavailingly endeavored to avert the Russian fire by hoisting the American flag." THE ASIA MINOR CAMPAIGN. Jxsdox, June l!b. Ihe lelegrapli s Delibaba special confirms Reuter's ac count of the fighting on the 21st and 22d inst., published this morning. It als0 says that both sides having been reinfoiced, there was a third day' fl-jbting, when the Russians again iell back. THE SUEZ CANAL. London. June 2G. A soecial dis patch from Alexandria, Egypt, pufjH lished in the secondedition of the News says : "The report recently published of the conspiracy to blow up the Suez Canal was based on authentic informa tion, but the Khedive is taking elec tive measures to prevent such an at tempt on land, while a Sea Police is being organized under.the CffinroAnd of two English officers.' f-i t" London, June 27J The:: latest ad vices report that the Russian centro has been reinforced, by the 20th Di vision from Kars. Eighteen thousand men, detached from the centre, have advanced to Sarakamisch. The Turk ish centre, also reinforced by a division of eighteen battalions, has advanced two miles in front of Zervin, where the Ottoman headquarters still remain. The Turkish right is still reported to be investing the Russian left. Intelligence received at Erzeroum states that the Russian bombardment of Kars is slackening. A dispatch to tho limes from Cet tiDjo, dated yesterday, says : "The Montenegrin army is concentrated in a very strong position opposite Spuz and Padgoritza. The morale seems to be good. The Prince is dete: mined to fight for every foot of ground should the Tuiks advance on Montenegrin ter ritory." ' CITY JfTEMS. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for July is one of the best numbers of the work yet issued. Its articles, beauti fully and liberally illustrated, are time ly, highly interesting and instructive, especially "Russia and Turkey, their War Strength, Sovereigns, etc," by Wm. Staughton Chase; "The West End of Paris;" "Malta;" "Mrs, Gen. Gaines;" "The Great Grain 'Mevement," etc., etc. In addition it contains innumera ble paragraphs on various interesting subjects something for everybody besides the usualjnumber of short select stories by popular and gifted authors, and which are really captivating. This magazine of 12S pages and 100 illustra tions must, in view of its actually being the cheapest publication of the kind in existence and at the same time one of the most select and universally wel come, continue to increase - in public favor, and rank with the publisher's Sunday Magazine, the highest among all our American monthlies.

L.st week we give an ' account of four or five fine build ings going up in the eity, and this week of several more. Building has again commenced and we believe it will now go on as it was before the panic. W.

Rosefy of Smithviile has been summoned to Washington to be examined for a clership in tho Interior Department as a translator of five dif ferent languages. Captain Rosafy 13 perfectly competent, and while there are about thirty others to compete, we feel assured that ho will come out all right. We wish him happiness and success wherever he goes. Col. Jso. R. Davis. This gentle man leased a building some ten years ago and opened a hotel known as the Purcell House, which he has conducted in such a manner as to make it a credit to the city. Previous to that time the city had never possessed a first class hotel. Colonel Davis being an old hotel man, in fact he knows all about "keeping a hotel," he has done it with great credit to himself and his adopted city, and we are sorry to learn that he contemplates leaving us soon, having about completed arrangements for the lease of the National Hotel at Norfolk. We hope our citizens will yet make an effort to retain Col. Davis; it will be a great loss to our city to let him go. A good hotel is necessary to a prosperous j city, and that we now have and will continue to have as long as Col. Davis is kept here. He should be retained, even, though our citizens should have to purchase the PurceU House and give it to him free of rent steps should be taken at once to stop his further efforts to get away. Our citizens will be sorry if he goes, and then they will learn to appreciate the man, bjut it will be too late. If he should go we wish him eery aueeesa a man of energy per severance u u f e Only twenty four hours from Wil mington to New York. Track laying to Hilton for the street cars has been commenced. J.

We saw Duncan Holmes carrying out his recruits from the criminal court, one woman and two men; but Duncan can make them all work. tm Some thief stole the mite boxes placed in the stores of C. D. Myers & Co., and Major Hall McKoy by the the Ladies Benevolent Society. Dr. M. J. DeRosset performed an J operation on ex-Marshal Price's eye last week, which was in every way suc- cessful. Persons who spend hundreds of dollars to visit New York and Phil adelphia, when they have anything the matter with an eye or ear, instead of having it operated on here, where it can be done as well, if not better, than in those places, are simply anxious to spend money and time foolishly. ,-Mar- shal Price says it gave him very; little pain, and he continued, at. his work without trouble.

It is rumored that he is to be Superin tendent of both roads. With Hon. R. R. Bridge rs as Presideafc and Captain Jno. F. Divine as Superintendent, the roads are bound to prosper. We again call She attention of the health(y) officers of our "City by the Sea" to the open sewer on west side of Third street, between Market and Prin ces streets, it is a disgrace to allow it to remain in its present condition. We haye been reliably informed that the stench ' arising from the said Bewer, in warm, daiip weather, is so intolerably bad as to compel persons living in that vicinity to close their doors and win dows to keep out the foul air. We call for a committee of investigation, com posed of those gentlemen who wear the yellow cockades, and whose duty it is nose into such matters, to decide what shail be done in this particular case. Accidents. Blood, a colord steva dore, fell down the hold of a vessel on Wednesday and was severely hurt. Primus Moore undertook to drink all the liquor in a barrel on last Friday, and died from the effects that night. ; Jones Walker took a dose of lauda num, when he intended to take some otner kind of medicine, and came very near dying from it3 effects.

Our colored citizen soldiery have been assisted in Raleigh and Fayette- ville, let not Wilmington be behind. A first class colored company is desirable in our city, and the Hanover Light In fantry deserve that honor. Under tho command of Capt. Geo. L. Mab3on, our citizens will feel assured that the or ganization will be a success and an or nament to our city. Let our white and colored citizens help it. It seems as though some of the Dem ocrats are not happy. . They say some of tle Board have voted tor negroes for positions in the city government. Why, gentlemen, we are reliably informed that every Alderman, with the excei tion of Alderman Bowden, has voted for colored men for positions on the foree, as janitor and health officers, there is where they have shown their good judgment. We do not believe that- Aldermen Flanner and Myers are any the worse for voting for old uncle Wil liam Phinney for janitor, if, in doing so, they did vote against Democrats. Nor do we think any the less of Alder men VonGlahn and Vellers for toting for a few colored policemen. We con gratulate all four of these gentlemen on having the independence to do what they thought proper. Continue, Alder men in your good works, and we will ever commend yttr. ? i ' '. .
