THE HOLY WAR.
London, Mav
23
—A Vienna dispatch
to the Times says the Sheikul Islam, proclaiming a holy war against Russia, and the almost simultaneously announcement from Constantinople that the departure of the Sultan for the Danube has been decidcd, would seem to show that the advice of those who all along looked upon the present struggle as one of existence for the Ottoman Empire, has gained ascendency in the council of the Porte.
The Daily Telegraph's Pera dispatch says that a portion of the Ardahan garrison took the road 10 ArdanuUch, having cut its way through the Russian column, which endeavored to intercept it. The Russians are said to have closed in upon the rear ofBatoum, which lsoncemoie seriously threatened.

JjOBDOS, May 22.—An Odessa letter
-n
states that the militia commander of the south coast has taken measures to defend Odessa against a coup de main, concentrating there a force of three brigades of infantry, eight sotnias of cossacks, and six squadrons of light cavalry. The thirteenth corps de armee is to be employed in defense of the coast line from Olchakoff to Ockennon. According to the signals of the coast guard, Odessa seems less threatened than Olchakoff. Great care has been bestowed of late on this fortress, which, with the works at Kinburn, protects the entrance to the bay and th6 months of the Dnieper, and consequently NikolaiefT, the only ship building place thereabouts, since the destruction of Sebastopol. For some days Turkish rebels have been cruising there, seemingly with troops on board. Great stores of provisions and ammunitions are accumulated at Nikolaief, and in the event of the Turks rendering the Olchakoff torpedoes harmless, not only these Btores and ship building: yard, but also Kherson and other &,reat towns on the Dneiper basin would be open to them. A Turkish squadron, consisting of two monitors, three iron-clad frigates, several small vessels and a whole flo'illa of barks, supposed to have volunteers on board, are cruising in the waters of Sebastopol and Upatoria. It is reported that this fleet will not be satisfied with bombarding places on the coast, but also means to excite an insurrectionary movement in the Crimea. It cannot be denied that the spirit beginning to show itself in the population is not calculated to inspire much confidence. The south coast of the Crimea is now almost entirely occupied by MahommedanB.
THE TURKS DRIVEN BACK. A dispatch from Erzeroum reports that the Russian centre has driven the Turks from their positions at Karadrhouran, a village near Kara. All indications betoken that the Russians are making a serious movement on we&terti Bulgaria. 8ERVIA FOLLOWS BOUMANIA.

We are here to ask for simple justice. We are here in regard to the petitions circulated for the removal of the marshal of this district. We ask you, Mr. President, to require legal disqualification, and not t'.iat he shall be removed in order to satisfy the extreme malevolence of the party that hates his race. We scorn to count the bitter, burning wrongs we have been subjected to by the party that are now clamoring for the removal of Mr. Douglass.

THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Chicago, May 32.—The Presbyterian Assembly this morning, ftfter the usual devotional exercises, heard the report of Rev. Jonathan Edwards, of Peoria, chairman of the special committee of the synods on the benevolent work of the church. The Report says that when that committee #as #rst organized it was the only expedirfht way oilt of a then existing difficulty, which has, however, disappeared now, and that therefore, though not then unconstitutional, the committee now, infringing as it does on the Supreme Court of Appeals, has become-unconsti-tutional and unwise.
W. B. Canfield presented a minority report, holding that the committee was both necessary and constitutional. Both reports were placed on the docket.
The committee to whom was referred the report of the board of home missions made a report, which was received, and H. Kendall,
01
New York, one of the
secretaries of the home board, made the annual address. The report covers the same ground as that sent last night. A question having arisen as to a paragraph which reprobates the action of some presbyteries in retaining a portion of all of their contributions, instead ot turning them over to the home board, the chairman was al'owed, by common consent, to withdraw that paragraph. The report was then taken up by sections and acted on.
The sessions of the afternoon and evening were devoted to further consideration of the sections of the report on home missions, and to addresses on the same general subject. Among the speakers were Rev. Drs. Dickson, Blackburn, Milner, Stratton and Page. In the evening the harmony ot action of the oards of sustentations and home missions were discussed in connection with the report The discussion was not fully completed when the assembly adjourned.
During the day greeting was received, from the Presbyterian Church South, whose assembly is meeting in New Orleans. The telegram says the Southern assembly disapprove that part ot the Northern assembly's greeting which omits reference to the main part of their paper sent to®rookIyn from Savannah, It saysi "If qur, brothers of the Northern Church cinmtM.us On those term* which truth and righteousness seem to us to require, then we are ready to establish such relations with them during the present session of the assembly."
