PREPARING FOR WAR.

The feellnz ju favor of war has been growing stronguer day by duy for some tlmo paat, and thero is covery reason to believo that Eugland is on the eve of ono of the most momentous cpochs In hor history.

The gathering importance of the war on the Danube superacdes all other news tn the public interest. A large war party oxiets, but it Is not clearly defloed. As & gencral thing the Liverala arc opposed to war cxcept under certaln contiogencies. The Consery- ativesa favor & War a3 soon a8 there Is n decent chaoce to {nterfere. Thus both partics regard war as fnevitable undera certain state of affalrs, which is, however, as yet rather vaguely delined, in spite of Mr, Cross' spcech, The differcnce fa that ome party Ia reluctant and the other auxious, bnt the chances are that another week will leave tho healtators Ina woelul minority, The most potent argument azalnst them will be, “ Are you afrald!® Thus will begin & war-fever for England which may end, after all, in the *Battle of Dorking.” The ruinor that the Government will ek Parliament for a special grant for emergencies during the recess assumes Importance, and it Is believed to-nigut on creditable authority that the Cabinct 18 resalved on inaking the applica- tion, It Is also circulated that dissensions con- tinue la the Cabinet.

The details sent were much fuller than given t any London journal yesterday. Further particulars of the great events at Ibrall and Galatz reach here this morning. The programiune was adrolte Iy planned and corried out. It had been ascertalned by Russian spics that the Turklsh forces at Matehin were In no condition to opposc n crossing if made In force, snd that only BTRAGGLING DANDS O DABHI-BAZOUKS were to be met amoug the low lands along the river. Accordivgly betore dawn a fow barge- loads of Cussacks weresent across from Galatz to Gliacet. The crosslog was assisted by small steamers which performed the journeys with the barges as rapldly as possibic. In th's manner a sufficient number of these brave horsemen were soon seross and mounted. They remained close to the river, baving thetr sentries out ta give notlce of an approach of the cnemy. The guos in the forts at Galatz ¢ FULLY COVELED THE CAVALRY, and the gunuers stood réady to serve their preces at a aigoal from the Cossacks. Eo far os can be learned, the building of the bridgu at Galatz partakes of the nature of s felnt, because the great body of troops crossed fnto the Dob- rudscha at Ibrafl, o Meauwhile tho same movement has been made at Ibrail. The bargesat this place were not eolarze nsat Galatz, and many valuable Consack.pones clther fell or leaped from them Iuto gho river; but they were mostly saved by belng lnssocd and thus towed to the shore. In some instauces the horses swam ashore at the call of thelr musters, who remaloed on the barges. After considernble delay, several hundred men were landed ond FOMMED ON A GRASSY SLOPE sbout s guarler of a mile hom the river, the in- tervening land beinfr” 80 marshy thas the horeos were led over It with great difliculty, All be- ing ready at both points, the telegraph was put into requisition from Ibroil, and . A BIMULTANEOUS MOVEMERT took place, the Cossacks advanciog with great rapidity into the Dobrudscha, Thosc landed at Tbrall had by far the moro difficult task, far they were compelled to extend thelr Nne to the nt- most, while the detachment from Galatz ad- vauced along themaln road and larger paths outsido of which it would be Enpossible for an enemy to approach or to flank them, because of tho warshy condition of the country. In lcss than two hours the two lincs of horse- med had formed o juncilon, the distance b tween (alatz and Ibrail, measured ou the fuside of the bend In the river, being only eightecn miles, Thus was formed A CORDON OF COSSACES between the river’s bank and the cnemy. The prominent part which the Cossack waa thus mode to plsy fo the first real agaressive movement nto the encmy's territory in Europe is worth notlving, It fully justified all that has been written nbout the finportant gervice which hoas a horseman Is likely to render to Ruesla in the war, This brings the Cossack squarely to the front, and makes of hitn what the Ullan was to the trovps of Prussia, “L'Eclairour par oxcolionce.” Under cover of this Cossack cordon, the pontoons were towed nto position, and the bridges at the two poluts were soon lald, every plank being ready and overy tan baviuga particular scrvice to perfora, The Galats bridge was much more casily bufit than the ove at Ibrall, because at the latter placeon the Dobrudscha side the long stretch of swamp land beforo referred to had to be planked FOI TIN PASSAGE OF THE ATTLLERY. .Tho foot soldiers did not walt for this cvent, however. Nosooner had the last plank been 1ald in the maln structure than the men, al- ready drawn up in battalions, were ordercd to prepare for the crossing. Elght thousand nen and two batterles of artillery then passed over 88 rapidly as possible, cach battaliun forming directly it reached the dry ground. By the timo tho guus were ready to be brought over, preparationa for lunding them across the arsh wero flulshed, Tho coewmy, In the shapo of scattered frroqu- lar cavaley, bad shown themsclves st various poluts, and when the maln body of troups had formed, and the batterics had been placed, the Coasacks were ordered forward to DKIVE BACK TUE VIDETTES, An advauce was then made toward Matchio, the object belng to uttack ot once hefore the placo could be relmforced. The Turks wero fuund postcd on & rapgo of hills to the northwests ward of the town. The batterjos on thcse billa opencd on the fnvading Russlan troops, and o strong detachmnont of drreyulars sallied out to meet thoir fuvctersto focs— the Cossacks, Theydld not risk a close ene counter, however, aud a fow shells from the Nuazian battery posted on the assallod flank DISPERSED TUR BASUTBAZOUKS and causcd thelr inglorfous retreat under cover of Lie batteries on the hills. ‘Without delay the Russians were ordered to advanco and chargy tho batteries. After & severe band-to-hand fight the outlying fortides- tions were vaptared and the guus turned upon. the flecing Turks. Thus fayorably opencd the wrmed occupation of the Dobrudscha. TUE BECOND ANSAULT followed as soon as the mco could be reformed, and, with the ald of the newly-acquircd figld- pleces, tho heights werecarried by storm. These most desperate struggles, in which the fighting was {o many instances baud-to-hand, continued untll late in tho aefternoon. Driven from their intrenched posi tlon, the Turks fcll back on Matchin. Nightfall of Friday settled down over hill and valley, and the victortous fnvader deemed it wisest to rest on the suceess of the day than to attewpt to follyw up the retreat of tho Turks. 1§ 7 PRICE /57 E CENTS.
