SULIEMAN PASHA AND HIS ARMY.

Sulieman Pasha (says the London correspondent of the Melbourne "Argus"), as he has been one of the most successful, so also is one of the most remarkable men in the Turkish army. A correspondent of the "Times" describes him as a man in midlife, tall and strongly built, simple in all his ways, and prompt, with a resolution that despises all routine. His tent consists of a simple piece of canvas stretched across two sticks, under which he crawls at night, and. sleeps on the ground, aud being once in leaves no room to spare for a shakedown for anybody else. Gruards, sentries, orderlies, and all the pomp and circumstance of military rank arc with] nivl hi" two tb??o aides de camp bivouac in like stylo near him.

Still more significant was the extraordinary way in which in a few hours he transported the whole of his army from Adrianople to Karabunar. At the order "go" the army went with no further ado. The division massed rapidly on the railway stations, and the men crowded into every conceivable corner of the train, from the tender to the guard's van t each man with his ammunition already in his pouches, three days' biscuit in his havresack, and his water bottle full. Train followed train in rapid succession, and as each arrived at its destination it shunted, and waited for Lh9 nsst. Then, as the provisions arrived, the men wera brought down in thousands, and every man hoisted a sack of biscuits or. his bat-k, and carried them to the pile where they were stowed. Without having waited for orders from at least How different departments, the order waa given and it was carried out, and as regiment followed regiment into the camp at Karabunar, each bivouacked in its place,piled their arms, soak?d their bard biscuits in ths water, prostrated themselves before the great and only Allah, their God aud friend, aod Jay down to sleep on the grass,
