disastrous results have followed, and
we believe if it is thrown unido for

will do more to disintegrate and break
down tho party than forty Feltons

On Tuesday morning last at six
o’clock the first gun was fired in the
war between England and Arabi Bey,
the virtual ruler of Egypt. Arabi Bey
has been prime minister to the Khe
dive, but has revolted against his au
thority, secured control of the army
and government, and commenced the
erection of fortifications and batteries
with a view to a further revolt against
England, to whom his country is sub
ject, and whose capitalists own large
sums of Egyptian securities.
To protect the Suez canal, a confer
ence of the European powers was
called at Constantinople, as a result
of which Arabi Bey promised to dis
continue the work of preparation for
further hostilities. This, however, he
afterwards refused to do, and was no
tified by Admiral Seymour, of the
British navy, to cease within twelve
hours, or u bombardment, would be
begun within twenty-four hours there
after. No heed was given to this
warning, and promptly at the ap
pointed time the action begun.
The lirst shots were tired from the
English ships Alexandra, Sultan aud
Superb, and were promptly answered
from tiie Egyptian batteries on shore,
aud for Mie major part of tho day the
bombardment was continued by both
sides, the English suffering but little,
while it is ihouglit that the Egyptian
loss was heavy. Before the fall of
night almost every Egyptian buttery
had been silenced, one of them hav
ing been blown up with dynamite by
a party of English marines, landed
under fire. Notwithstanding tho
seeming terrible loss of Arabi Bey, he
shows no signs of weakening, and
seems determined to push hostilities
to the bitter end. England is upheld
in her uctiou by the European pow
ers, and ns long as she pursues her
present line of conduct it is uot
thought that she will meet with any
opposition from them. Having taken
tho initinl steps in her effort to put
down Arabi Bey, bur honor as a na
tion cannot be satisfied with anything
less than his complete extermination,
bo denied that sho
has u serious and troublesome job on
her hands.
The British Consul has ordered the
closing of the Suez canal against the
passage of vessels, but De Lesseps
aud bis French company have tele-
gauphed their protest against this ac
tion, claiming the sume to be a viola
tion of the neutrality of the canal.
YVe append a few extracts from tho
telegrams to date, giving the stutus
of affairs: ,
Alexandria, July 11th.—The ships
opened fire at six o’clock this morn
ing. The return fire from the forts
was weak and ineffective. An explo
sion iu Fort Marsa el Kauat had oc
curred by eight o’clock. The total
number killed is five, and of wounded
twenty-seven, distributed among the
ships as follows: Killed on the Alex
andra, 1; Superb, 1; Sultan, 2; Invin
cible 1. Wounded on the Alexandra,
3; Superb, 1; Sultan, 7; Invinciole, 6;
Indexible, 2;.Penelope, 8.
Alexandria, July 12.—The whole
European population is afloat. The
British Consul, in pursuance of Ad
miral Seymour’s instructions, has
hnuled down his flag and gone aboard
a gunboat. It is supposed tlmt the
Egyptian troops have evacuated the
town, as the tires to-night are assum
ing largo proportions. The town is
reported to be almost empty, and, it
is believed, mis beeu left to tho low
Arabs, possibly to tho Bedouins, to
plunder. At sunset the white flag
was still llyiug.
Private udvices indicate that the
Suez canal will be re-opened to tratliu
stood among the officers that firing New Order About Unstamped Let
would be resnmed at four o’clock in
the afternoon, but no order to that
effect was given. The Egyptians sub
sequently hoisted a second flag of
truce, and the Helicon was thereupon
sent to obtain information. The Bit
tern ascertained that the Khedive
was safe, having gone with Derviscb
Pasha to the liamleh palace. The
storesbip Humber leaves to-night
with the wounded. A large fire is
visible in the direction of the British
Consulate.

Washington, July 11.—Tho Tariff
Commission this morning adopted the
following form of circular, calling for
information, and it was believed that
it could best be communicated to the
public through the Associated Press,
which is done officially by direction
of the Commission:
“The Tariff Commission, appointed
to investigate all the various ques
tions relating to the agricultural, com
mercial, mercantile, manufacturing,
miuing and industrial interests of the
United States, so far as the same may
be necessary to the establishment of
a judicious tariff, or a revision of the
existing tariff, upon a scale of justice
to all interests, with a view to arrang
ing for a full and complete examina
tion of matters referred to, invites
correspondence from a>l associations,
corporations and individuals interest
ed iu the subjects of its inquiries, de
siring to furnish information or testi
mony for its consideration in the dis
charge of its duties. Communica
tions on the subject may be ttdilressed
to Hou. John L. Hayes, President of
the commission, at West End Hotel,
Long Branch, N. J., until further no
tice, and the correspondents are re
quested to mention specifically the
subjects on which they desire to offer
testimony. It is the intention of the
Commission to arrange in the hearing
of testimony with h view to saving
time, and persons desiring to be heard
will be notified of the time and place
at which tbe Commission will hear
testimony which they may offer.
We clip the following local from the
Macon Graphic:
Workmen tire blasting away at the
foot of Third street, in order to
straighten the line of, the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
in that locality, and for tbe addition
al purpose of securing ground for a
passenger station. The work is nec
essarily very slow and tedious, ns n
strata of stoue underlies ull the earth
in that viuiuity. The heavy explo
sions hoard in that portion of the city
conies from the discharge of these
powder mines. The undertaking is a
great one, but gradually the hill is
disappearing and the tons of debris
and dirt excavated are being moved
along the line to strengthen weak
places and perfect tho roadbed. When
finished, the passenger depot at that
point will be very attractive both from
thodine tree growth thereabouts and
tbe usual water vista presented up
aud dowu the Oomulgee.

The First Assistant Postmaster-
General issued, a week or two ago, ;t
circular to postmasters directing them
not to select letters from among those
put into the office unstamped or in
sufficiently stamped and forward
them to their destination, with a no
tification that a stamp lias been af
fixed by tbe postmaster. It has been
the custom for postmasters, in many
large cities, to look over the unstamp
ed letters that come into the office
and when one is fonnd bearing the
printed notice of a reputable firm, or
where tbe letter appears, from its size
and shape, to be important, to for
ward it to its destination. The deliv
ery of many valuable letters has thus
been expedited, and some complaint
has been made of tbe operation of the
new rule. An order has also been is
sued by which , the persons to whom
unstamped letters are addressed mav
bo notified by postal card, and, on re
ceipt of the postage the letters will be
forwarded. Iu case tho letter is ad
dressed to a distant city, a considera
ble delay will be caused by the time
spent in the sending of the notice and
the return of tbe postage.

A few years ago such a tiling us
thoroughbred cattle in tiie Cotton
States was almost unheard of. Re
cently, however, there has beeu a de
cided ebauge in that direction, in
spired by individual enterprise, as
well as the establishment of State ag
ricultural colleges, where stock-breed
ing is very properly receiving consid
erable attention. A case in point is
tbe Agricultural aud Mechanical Col
lege of Mississippi, at Starkville,
where three thousand persons assem
bled a few days ago to witness the
sale of thoroughbred and graded cat
tle. Over one hundred head were
disposed of, ut prices ranging from
$50 to *250, mid there were bidders
from almost every county in the
State, including Gov. Lowry und ex-
Gov. Stone. Cattlo-ruising in Missis
sippi bus received a great impetus,
and promises ere long to share the

with her. Five boys were saved. The
hurricane was accompanied by a tidal
wave fifteen feet high, which swept
over the Island with terrible tinning.
All the nntives' houses and many of
the Europeans' houses were carried
away, and cocuauut trees were snapp
