 On the I2lh end 18th inst. large party ot DFusee and Christians from Dier-el Hammer of all sexes and aRea were assembled, in order that the men should deliberate on the affairs of the mountain Thor to the discussion, the old fashioned and manly game of throwing the djeFd was played, and the utmost mar mOny seemed to prevail.

Numbers, upon pre- concerted signals, arrived ana mixed ln the nay which had previously been organized, setting ire to the houses in the viluge, by which many were de- stroyed.
 The struggle now began in serious earnestness.- The Druses formed on all sides. The patriarch caus- ed the Christians 10 arm; his commando were obey ed with aIacrty, and the Emrs Khangiar, Hags' ar and Samra, the head of large bodies of the mOun- Iaineers. hastened to the fray.
 The Druses were not behind. and under the com Inand of chiefs of known bravery and tact, met m battle order the people whom they had so scandaious- ly assaulted.
 The consequences were such as would seem in credible hundred villages have been sacked, the loss of human lie has been dreadful on both sIdes- Hundreds of children who escaped the ruthless tury of the sword are now in bondage and the hatred ex is,ng is of such nature lead to the idea that It will continue for a length of tme The town oi Bey- rOut has given shelter to hundreds O miserable taml- lies burnt of their villages at an incredible short distance from that place. to such pont ot lnsolent audacity have the Druses proceeded.
