THE COMING RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN.
So much Interest attaches at tho pres
ent tlnio to tho impending war lu East
ern Europe, that our readers will thank
us for reproducing from tho Sacramento
Record-Union a very ablo xovlew of
Russian campaignn against Turkey half
n contury ago, and closing with a grapulo
description of tho condition of tho com
batants at tlio present tlmo and tho dif
ficulties to bo ovcrcomo boforo even tho
Balkan mountains can bo crossed. A
glance at tho mnp,ns tho readorproceeds,
will explain and mako moro Interesting
tho facts stated and tho position nssum
' cd. Tho Balkan rango extends through
tho Centra of Turkey, south of tho
Danubo, reaching from tho Adriatic on
tho West, duo eastward to tho Black Sea,
n formidable barrier, whoso passes aro
utrongly fortified and will be easily and
stubbornly defended.
Undoubtedly tho most favorablo con
ditions under which Russia' over made
war upon Turkoy occurcd In 1827. For
novcn years tho l'orto had been engaged
in a vain attempt to suppress tho Greek
insurrection; tho destruction of tho Jani
zaries hndntonco enfeebled tho army and
raised up intenso bitterness against the
Sultan: and thobuttloof Navarluo had
annihilated tho Turkish fleet. Tho war
was carried on In Asia and Europo sim
ultaneously, and tho Asiatlo campaigns,
conducted by Prlnco Paskicvltcli, was
minently successful. It Is, howovcr,
tho European campaign of General Dlo
hltsch, that wo must follow, and it will
bo seen that what has boon so much talk
cd of lately, tho occupation "of Bulgaria"
had novor been n holiday business. The
Unit campaign of Dloblcsch found nnd
loft him on tho lino of tho Danube.
Varna and Scliumla had been Invested,
nnd two smaller frontier fortresses had
fallen, but though tho Russians had
crossed tho Danubo with 1 58,000 men
found It Impossible that year to oven at
tempt tho passage of tho Balkan moun
tains. J fuot llio campaign of that year
was practically n failure. Tho Turkish
light horse then proved itself fur moro
than a match for the Russian cavalry,
while tho defenso of Intrenched positions
by tho Ottoman was, ns It lias alwayH
been, peculiarly stubborn and desperate.
Ju tin? following year a still larger Rus
sian army took tho Meld, and Varna was
surrendered early In tho campaign,
through tho treachery of Jessuf Bacha. j
Tho Infatuation of tun Turks prepared
mo way lor iiti-incr JUissinn successes.
BoIIovIiik Scliumla (o bo tho objective
point of thnrampnign, they actually left,
tho passes of tho Balkan with a guard of
only tliren thousand men, and Dlcbltsch
Was not slow to avail himself of this
blunder. Jly adroit maneuvering be
tween Varna and Schumla, ho succcded
in convincing tho Capitan l'acha that ho
was massing his forces in front of tho
latter place, and tints kept nearly the

and theso enterprises will demand prob
ably 100,000 men. Then comes tho pas
sago of the Balkan, provided tho Hus
sions over got so far, which is by no
means certain; and oven if tho passes
should bo forced tho necessity of guard
ing them for retreat would demand
another considerable division of the
army. A forco compelled thus to weaken
itself at ovorv forward movement would
clearly bo in no condition to prosccuto a
great enterprise at tho end, and if such
an expedition succeeded in reaching
Aurianoplc, tlio -objective point oi tne
war tho possession of Constantinople
would bo as far oir as over. But It was
with tho. aid of her fleet that Russia
roached Adrlanoplo In 1828; nnd sho has
no fleet now. It is truo that sho posses
ses a moro formidable forco; that her
troops aro better armed, disciplined,
equipped, and perhaps commanded; that
sho has nn artillery against which tho
feoblo defenses of iltty years ago aro vain;
and that sho has tho experience of her
former attempts to guldo her. But not
withstanding all theso considerations tho
war must bo fought upon tho satno old
ground, nnd tho samo topographical dlill
cultlcsmust bo encountered; whllo thcro
is no reason to suspect mat mo nussian
army of ip-day will escapo tho diseases
which always decimate combatants In
that insalubrious valley of tho Danube,
and which so wcakoncd tho forco of

whllo ho dispatched thlrtv thousand men
to forco tho Balkan. Tho stratagem was
completolysuccesdul. Tho Balkan guard
was itauked u'ld routed with case. Aclri-
nuoplo fell without a blow, and tho
Turks, who only had 23,000 men botweon
Constantinople and tlio enemy, woro at
Inst half pursuuded and frightened Into
stipulating for peaco. Tlio Treaty of Ad

with less than 15,000 inou, lmvlng, dis
tributed his forces ovor tho country, tho
Pasha of Hcodra suddenly appeared with
ti'i.OOO fresh men, and declared ills inten
tion of putting astopto tho negotiations.
But ho cnino too late, rIiico tho treaty
had been already signed. .That was tho
end of tho most Miccossful war Rusnla
lias ovcrwagcdngaliistTurkey. Adrian
nplo was I hen reached, It Is true,
hut It could not huvo bectihold: tho Rns
hIkiih could not havo advanced any fur

there It is certain that u disastrous re
