After passing through the beauii fui straits of Messina we “stnnik a bee line” for the mouth of the Nile. Tbo second day we coasted along by the southern shore of Crete or Oaudia for ten hours. Then we had two days without land, and eame|in sight of the Pharos (light house) of Alex andria, at 4 o’clock in the mornlug of the 13th of August, just one month, less three days, after we took our departure from New York. Ev erybody was well, and we had a most delightful journey, without one sin gle drawback, except a very small amount of sea sickness, comparative ly speaking. We landed at Alexan dria at 9 o'clock and put OP at tbe Grand Hotel d’Europe. Here we got our first impressions of Egypt and they are ineffaceable. The Hotel stands near a long narrow piazza, through which there was one contin uous streatn of Turks, Arabs, .Tews, Etheopians, Copts, Greeks, Syrians. Italians, Frenchmen, Englishmen and Yankees, passing all the time, each dressed in his own costume. Some afoot, some in magnificent carriages, some ou donkeys, some on splendid Arab steeds and some on the backs of the awkward looking, patient camel. Every known style of dress and all the colors of the rain bow in that of the Eastern jieople (rave great picturesqueness and beau ty to the scene. We stayed in Alexandria one day and Dight. I called on Gens. Luring and Reynolds, and found them in a handsome house surrounded by a line garden of date trees and other tropi- ] cal fruits and flowers. They have a very unostentatious establishment. ! I expected to find orderlies, servants ] and attaches in abundance surround ing the entrance and thronging the halls, kno whig that Gen. .boring was a Pasha in Egypt. Brft on the con trary a single black “bowah” sent me and carried me directly to the Gen eral’s sitting room, where he received ine in plain, old-fashioned, cordial Yuokoc stylo The story published in some of our American papers, about the time I left home, concerning the manner in which Gen. Luring was living, is sim ply a gross fabrication. He com mands the troops in the Alexandria district, and lives in just about the same style that any department com mander does in the U. H. Army. In Alexandria we saw Pompey s Pillar, Cleopatra’s Needle, the Public Gardens, and drove through a num ber of the principal streets. The next morning we took the cars for Cairo, which we reached in six hours. The railway runs up the Val ley of the Nile, and passes through a country very similar to that be tween New Orleans and Baton Rouge, with the exception that there is no trees —atleast none of any magnitude. Cotton, corn, riee, <n<i vegetables of our Southern States were growing on either side of us. The Nile was up and water was running into all the furrows, and was standing in broad lakes over the uncultivated portions to prepare them for a future crop. The natives were at work with their short handled hoes, shaped like a carpenter’s Toot-adze, or ploughing with their rude wooden plows. Oxen are generally the beast of draft, but sometimes a donkey and an ox would be working together, and in one ease we saw a cow and a camel pulling along side by side. The cattle of this country are very different from ours. It is a species of domestic buffalo, a specimen of wnich John Robinson had in his menagerie once, I think. They give good milk, and butter ts by no means so scarce or dear as we ex pected to fl nd it here. The greater part of the milk however, comes from the goat, and large flocks of them are seen as you pass through the country, grazing on the uncultivated lands, attended by a child and a dog, that keep them from wandering into the patches of oorn and grain. There are no fences in Egypt, and one thing is bound to strike a stranger as peculiar, and that is tbeperfect manageability of the whole brute creation. Donkey, camels, cows, calves, goats and sheep, ail seem to be wandering around loose, and yet I have never seen any trespassing oft the growing crops. Between Alexandria and Cairo we had a fine opportunity of seeing the agricultural phase of Egyptian life. The means of cultivating the soil look very primitive, but the results obtained are very satisfactory. The perfect Irrigation, the absolute free dom from weeds and grass, the per fection of stand, give the fields a bet ter appearance than auy you see in America. The fellahs who do the labor live in wretched little mud huts hud dled together into small irregular villages. Compared to these the old style Southern negro cabins are hand some dwellings, and a well arranged plantation quarter, a magnificent city. At Tautah, a considerable city about half way between Alexahdria and Cairo, a grand agricultural fair was in -progress when we passed. Such a motley concourse, such a huge conjuble of heterogeneous ele ments, I never saw before. Bedou ins from the desert with their cam els,horses and flocks Of goats,around, amidst and within their tents; Arabs from the fields with their cattle and produce; Jews, Copts, Greeks and Italians with their merchandise from the bazars of the cities; buyers and THE DAILY TIMES. sellers, loafers and lookers-on; gran dees in gorgeous turn-outs and beg gars |u rags and wretchedness, were all mixed fnhether in what seemed to us to be tne most unaccouniable confusion. The multitude was so dense along the railway it looked like an impossibility to effect a pas sage with the train, but some how or rather We got through without acci dent. We reached Cairo at 3r. m. Here was another striking scene. The cab men, donkey* no vs, porters and bag gage grabbers of Cairo are the cham pions of the world, T Imagine, for noisiness, persistency and obstinaay. They talk a harsh, guttural language, all of whose vowels, nearly, are the broadest sound Of the letter ‘‘A” and with? stentorian lungs, to. fobeo out their jargon, vou can oonceive of the din made by some hundreds of unfor tunates with no police regulations to restrain them. A dragoman address ed me in English, and I at once put myself in his charge, and told him to take me to the "Grand new Hotel,” and I left the whole responsibility of doing so safely entirely to him. He was a capital fellow, named Selim, and he brought .us through in fine style, without the loss of uny of trie children or any or our baggage. The Grand new Hotel of Cairo is a magnificent uffai r,t hat won Id do cred iit to any city In the world. It stands I in part of the Garden oi Esbekieh, ; which is as lovely a little park as you | can find, with a lake, fountains, beau tlfdl flowers and shrubbery. The ho tel and garden are both the property of the Khedive, and have been made within 111* last five-years. All of Cairo immediately sunsouiid ing the new hotel is handsomely built with broad streets, open airy squares, tall well finished houses, trees and sidewalks on either side of the drives, and all the improvements of the best modern cities. But once out of this region yon get into a most labarynthine maze of narrow, crook ed alleys betweeu overhanging I houses of every imaginable style of construction. Bnt I know I would fail to give you any just conception of tiie Arab quarter of Cairo, with its palaces and hovels, mosques and bazars, markets and stables and everything else that u big city has Iti it huddled together without one particle'or method or system. After one month’s residence here I still llud this city one continual wonder ment to me. I t contains over <*o,ooo inhabitants; three-fburths of whom are (lacked together like sardines In a box. There is quite a large popula tion of foreigners, mostly Italians and Greeks. The next in number to these are the French, then the Ger mans, then the English and Ameri cans. What is about the number of foreigners lam unable to say, anil 1 doubt if uny one knows. It varies greatly in ’different seasons of the year, being much larger in winter thon summer. I do not mean to include in the for eign population the mere transient travelers and tourists that throng the hotels and public houses iu the wiu ter. • Their name is legion. Four days after I got hero I suc ceeded in renting one story or "flat,” of quite a good house in the Europe 1 an quarter. We nave three bedrooms, a salon, dining room and kitchen, which cost four hundred ffoTFars per annum. This suite of upiutraeilts we had fo furnish, and that was about the toughest job I ever under took. Everything had to be pur chased from people whoso language I did not understand, who mistrusted me, and whom I mistrusted. Well, wo got together tilings enough to make our quarters habitable, after two days’ hard work. I will give you some prices, to let you see the rela tive cost of living here and in Ameri ca. Plain iron double bedsteads, from twelve to fifteen dollars; mar ble-topped bureau, with glass, eigh teen dollars; waslistaud with a mar ble top. ten dollars; plain chairs, palm-leaf bottoms, thirteen dollars per dozen ; spring mattress, six dol lars; cotton mattress, weighing say thirty pounds, live dollaie, etc. Pro visions arc here, on an average, about on a par with those of America. Beef is fifteen to eighteen cents a pound, mutton the same, but vegetables ami fruit are very cheap. Five cents will get you all the tomatoes you want for a day; two and a half cents a large mess of cucumbers; ten cents a day’s supply of potatoes; twenty cents will buy two and three-quarter pounds of magnificent grapes, and fifteen cents t he same amount of splendid tigs and dates. Sugar is about what it is in America, anti the finest Mocha coffee is thirty-five cents a pound. Meal is about twice as dear as with us, and flour the same. The wages of do mestic servants are higher than with us. We pay our man-eoolc, who also waits in the house generally, sweeps, goesto market and on errands, fie per month. But washing here, my wife says is “the very mischief.” You have got to hire somebody to wash, then somebody to iron, and maybe somebody else to starch. And all these parties, to use the negroes’ ex pression, are “monstrous onsartin,” as to time and the attention they will give their work. The wash Dili amounts to about $1 per and >zen in money, ami an uiiajrconritable amount of annoyance. So much for the domestm economy of Egypt. I brought quite a number of applications for service in the Khedive’s army with me when I came. To all of these I have had to reply that the Egyptian Government has np desire to employ foreigners biut ply because theyare such. A few Atqerf cans were wanted to fill certain special positions, where previous in struction and experience would make them useful. These positions are connected with thestaff Departments of the Army, vml theyare now nearly all filled. There ire no foreign officers in the line of the Egyptian Army— and they are not wanted. They cyuld not command the soldiers, because they do not know tbe language of’he country. Besides, the native officers are now a well Instructed, competent set of men. No man can be a non commissioned officer unless he can read and write, and the commission ed officers all pass a rigid examina tion before appointment. Gen. Stone, chief of staff, lias brought this about within the last six years. - There are now twenty American offi cers in the Egyptian Army. They are partly engaged in the Bureaus at Head Quarters in Cairo, and partly in explorations in the far Interior. All of Equitorial Africa is a field forthe future operations of the Egyp tian Government, and room for its expansion, like the great West was to the United States. Of course it would be improper for me to go into any details in regard to these opera tions, being an officer of the Govern ment. I don’t know anything that I might not tell, but the general rule is for an officer of an army to write nothing about army matters. COLUMBUS. GA., SATURDAY, DKOEMBETt 4. 1875. The railway service of Egypt is un der the superintendence of an English engineer, Mr. John Fowler. Some few ot Ids subordinates are Englishmen, but most of them are natives. The natives run the engines, and are the station managers, ma chinists, overseers, &0> There are no places for Americans in this ser vice as far as I can loam. And now tv few words about the climate and I will close. Wo got here August lfith. Well wo havn't had tin uncomfortable day since our arrival. For tbe first, two or three weeks it was pretty hot in the sun, but it has never been disagreeably warm in the house since wo came. There is always a fine breeze playing that makes the halls, balconies mid chambers of the houses perfectly de lightful, even In the hottest part of the summer. I have taken not one bit more pains hero thau I would have done in Montgomery, to keep out of the sun, and I hnvo experienced no inconvenience. Just now the weather is really unsurpassable. The temperature is just such that you don t notice it, at all. You can’t say that it is too warm or too cool, or too anything. At night a little covering is very comfortable. I think the cli mate of Cairo is better thau that or our Southern States in the summer, and it is the best in the world in the winter. I am well pleased with my position, my duties and my surroutuliugs gen erally, I am contented and happy. My wife and the little ones are till well. With God’s blessing we will fight It out on til is line, with stout hearts, willing and faithful hands fur at least live years, and may be ten, and then we will come back to Amer ica,, to pass Ihe rest of our days. May a kind Providence bless our native land, and make it, once more the best land the world ever saw, is our most earnest prayer. Yours most truly.
