probmbly 1, . _... We happened,._... along m._
the hottest season of the year, and even then found the
climate deliciously cool. When previously in the Upper
Shire Valley, at en altitude of 1,200 feet above the see,
we were drinking water et 84 doge., and M one day,
mounting up to an altitude of between 3,000 and 4,000
feet, we bad every few miles a gushirig stream, with the
water at 65 dep. The air bad that bracing effect which
the mountain breezes have at home, and we were all struck
by observing far more very old people than we had seen
amerbsre else. Our stay was too short for our own ex-
penses to be worth &writing ; and the experimos of the
missimaries amounts only to this, that without ordinary
sanitary precautions the health is endangered here as it is
everywhere elms.
" The missionaries were placed in very peculiar circum-
stances, and such as probably they never anticipated. As
we climbed up the plateau together, and felt its refreshing
breezes, we met parties of Portuguese. with long lines of
bound captives in their pusseseiou. Them were soon made
free, and the bishop, trusting to the rapport of those who
had sent him, bravely took charge of them. These re-
captives soon amounted to 200 ; but in what follows I have
only the testimony of the miasionines themselves, foe/
thin left, and perused the exploration of Lake Nyasa' for
some 225 miles. Mammon wan situated on the bend of a
small river of exactly the same shape as that into which
Gemini MacClellan, for • strategetic rations,' ran. It was
shaded by lofty trees, which the poor bishop admired
exceedingly, and resolved to preserve. The efforts of
the iniesimaries failed to prevent these 200 people
from depositing their droppings all over • apace of
loss than one hundred yards by fifty, end it was then fitly
described m a • pest hole.' Fur some months the people
adjacent and around them brought abundance of pron.
, Mons for sale, and no one imagined that them were all
their surplus storm; but after the expenditure of the
surplus came famine. The missionarim nobly shared
I their own prorisioes with the paw writable whom they had
adopted. and were reduced to the same hard mid scanty fare.
1 About fifty of the natives perished by ulcers sod dysentery,
and to me the wonder is, not that in that foul den the whites
presented the sorry figure you have drawn, but that they
were not all cut off together. Now, don't blame them ;
they felt the necessity of removing out of the pest hole,
but the gram had all been burned off, and new hate could
not be built; elave.hunting, at the instigation of the
Portuguese of Tette, was going on all around them ; they
were in new and untried circumstances ; had to retire to the
lowlands; but still all think that the plateau is the healthiest
abode, and will retains soon as possible.
"The bishop, whose untimely fate every one who knew
! him must deeply deplore, never spared himself, sod was
foremost in depriving himself of the comforts; which you
rightly conclude are indispeueable to Europeans, in order to
save his orphan children. Ile and Stirrup were the strongest
of the party, and were proportiooately disregardful of their
health. Expoeed for more than a week previously to hard,
fast marshes, worm fare, and drew:llium showers, he set out
from Magoenero, ill with diarrbosi, un his last and fatal trip,
and began by walking through the stream, remarking that
be would soon be wet at any rate. After two days walking la
a plight which yen may unman* he reached the Share, ern-
barked in a miserable small canoe, and after drooping dove
the stream one day was man, tat clothes and medians.,
and went oa, of coons, still wet-coffee, tea, and sugar all
gone; it is scarcely pcesible to conceive • more miserable
plight. BM let saran go through the seine amount of
1 exposure in England, and he will as certainly be cut off by
consumption as the bishop and Mr. Burrup were by fever
and dysentery. When I began to travel I walked through
streams, and braved rains is the same way the bishop did
but I found that I bad fever perpetually, and gave up the
habit, though it was really pleasant to have the extremities
cooled. Yoe will perform • good service if you
I warn all Europeans going to the tropics to take
las goM care of their health there as they do at home. In
1 addition to the loss of invaluable services, these untimely
deaths are • great misfortune to the cause of African Myth.
Betio., because people immediately ascribe them to the
inevitable effects of the climate, and with you say " it is of
no use to seed miasionarise where they *mum live." In OUT
1 expedition, though we have undergone exposure to which
no missionary need subject himself, we have had bat two
deaths among a large number of Europeans in four years,
and them were caused by detention sorely against our will
in most unwholesome localities.

The following remarks upon the fall of Port
Hudson are from a Southern paper, the Mont-
gomery Mail :
The surrender of the garrison at Port Hudson was not
unexpected and will cause nothing like the same depres-
sion in the Confederacy as the fall of Vicksburg. though in
plot of resistance to the enemy it has borne a part no leas
creditable for gallantry and endurance. Under the dr-
, eumstances, the fall of the two places was inseparably con-
nected, and it would have been little short of a miracle if
'-Port Hudson bad men able to withstand the siege
long after the fall of Vicksburg. Vicksburg etipu-
lated on the 3rd, and a despatch of yesterday informs us
that Port Hudson surrendered on the Bth. Up to the
!abet Vrakabstrg it seemed to be admitted, *Toothy the
Yankees, that General Gardner and his gallant little pr-
rime had badly worsted Banks with all the force he could
rake and scraps about New Orleans, which no doubt ex-
ceeded oars two to one. But with the fall of Vicksburg,
which gave the enemy the advantage of the Mississippi to
transport his troops from that point to Port Hudson, the
reduction of the latter place in a very feel days followed as 1
a matter of course, and no intelligent person acquainted
with the situation could have expected any other result.
Peet Hudson is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi,
in Louisiana, 155 miles from New Orleans, and 230 from
Vicksburg by the course of the river, and is distant 138
miles south-west of Jackson by land. It is, therefore, easy
to see that no succour from our forms was possible, with-
out almost the certainty of capture by the enemy, who could
; throw his immense army in a very short time at any point
on the river, and thus there was no alternative left,
after the facts became known at Port Hudson, but to cur
render with as little lose of life as possible.
Another Southern paper, the Atlanta Appeal,
thus refers to the fall of Vicksburg :
The most disastrous intelligence of the week was the
ennounmment that Vicksburg had fallen. To those who
were posted as to the true situation of affairs in that vici-
nity this was not unexpected. We have reason to believe
; such& result Was anticipated by the authorities at Richmond
days before it was announced. The repeated calls of Gene-
ral Johnston for help, in the way of men, munitions, and
supplies, were, for some cause, disregarded ; and those who
were acquainted with his tree condition, as the authorities
should have been, and others who enjoyed no official than.
nels of obtaining information could have anticipated no
other conclustoo. From prudential motives of doubtful
propriety the discouraging facts were suppressed, while
such as could be tortured into encouragement were magti-
. fled. The public disappointment, therefore, is greater than
the true nitration warrants. In the future, however, we
shall deprecate and endeavour to disappoint, as far as poi-
, eible, all attempts to mislead our own people. We believe
them equal to any emergency, and it their zeal cannot be
relied upon, even under adversity, to save the cams, all is
last.

In regard to the eta•e of affairs in New York, a
letter in the Boston Journal says :

New York is quiet, but it is the quiet of an armed force.
The regiments are all under arms in their armouries. The
7th have not been allowed yet to go home. They are kept in
their armoury in war trim, and sleep on the floor. The park
in frost of the City Hall looks warlike indeed. The whole
frost is filled with Duncan's battery. Heavy Ailed cannon,
with four horses to each cannon, all hammed and ready for
action at a moment's notice, attended by men with drawn
&brew, ready to mount, show the prep *ration for a renewed
outbreak.

Nearly all the pulpits had the rioting for their theme.
Bishop II ughea's call on " the MOD called rioters" has niised
the American element se it has not been raised for years.
The city bar placards in all part.. as boa also Brooklyn.
" Sam aware," " Sam organise," and kindred notices, which
the iuitiated say mean, an American party. A committee
of the Common Council of Brooklyn agreed to recommend
an appropriation of half a million dollen to secure exemption
to drafted men having families dependent on them. This
will cover nearly half the quota of the city. The super.
visors will, it is understood, appropriate 200,000d015. more.
The Common Council of Rochester, New York, palmed an
ordinance voting 207,300 dots. to pay 300 doles for each
man drawn in the city under the present draft. The money
to be paid to the conscript if he goes, and to the government
if be dose act

Upwards of 7,000 dole. had been raised in New York for
the coloured sufferers by the Ist* riot. Several distill.
guisbed legal gentlemen bad volunteered their services to
such as were despciled of their property in prosecuting claims
for reimbursement against the city.
