.4lnbama CrOpS.-1he Republican of the oath
inst, published in Macon county, Ala, says the in
Jury done to the corn and cotton crops i'll Alabama
by the late frosts, though extending to every portion
OF the State from which we have accounts, docs
not appear TO have been very destructive in some
ncighborhoods. In most places all the growing cot
ton and most of the corn cut down but in
localities that seem to have been in some way pro-
tected, the not materially injured and the
cotton had only to be partially repanted, while the
fruit was nearly unniurcd. As an illustration OF
this, we have several plantations on which the
corn was about to tassc, while in most sections the
crop repantcd is not six inches high. The cotton,
generally, is far behind its usual time, and without
favorable and late rosts in the fall the crop
must inevitably be a short one

brahim Pasha, Viceroy of Egypt, died on the
10th instant, and Abbas Pasha, his nephew,
succeeds him in the Pashalic of this country,
according to the firman granted by the Sultan
in juno, 1S4l, at the close Of the Syrian war;
by which the succession to the Government OF
Egypt is to descendin direct line in Mehem-
ct Ais male posterity, from the elder to the
elder among his sons and graudsons.
Ibrahim Pasha, Mehemet Ais son, was
born at Cavalla, in Roumelia, in 1889, and
was thus of the age of 80 years at his death.
In consequence Of Mehemet Ais incapacity,
from dotage, to govern the country, lbrahim
was nominated by the Sultan Viceroy in his
Stead on the first of September last, and there
fore held power in Egypt-only during the
brief space of two months and ten days.
For many years Ibrahim suffered acutely
from complication of complaints, brought ON
principally by excuses committed during his
Youth, and in 1916 he went to Europe for the
purpose of consulting the most eminent physi-
clans there, and on that occasion he also visit
ed England but the only result was tenn
porary relief to his sufferings, for he contin-
ued to be more or less disordered, and he f.
nally sank under the combined efiects'of bron-
chitis and an abscess in his lungs

In August 17S0. Ganeral John Mcdowell,
of North Carolina, commanded about two
thousand militia who were stationed al
Smiths ford, on Broad river, which was a.
bout fifteen miles below tho Cherokee ford
Col. Isaac Shelby, Of North Carolina, COM
manded a regiment under Gen. Mcdowell.
The term ofservice for which The men had.
enlisted, was just about expiring. 1t was as
certained that there were about seven hun
bred Tories campeG at Musgrove's Mill, on
The Eronee river, few miles distant from
the camp of Major Ferguson. Col. Shelby
conceived the plan of breaking up this camp
and routing the tories. For this purpose,
having Obtained leave from Gen. Mellow
ell. he raised about seven hundred volunteers
from the army without regard 10 rank, very
many field officers having volunteered. Col.
Clarke, Of North Carolina, was made second
in command.
To effect their design it was necessary
that the affair should be conducted with both
secrecy aud despatch. Accordingly Shell
by's force left Gen. McDowelPs camp on the
18th of August, a short time before dark.
They travelled on through the woods until
dark, and then fell into the roadand proceed
ed on all night. passing within three or four
miles CT Ferguson's camp and going beyond
it to the Tory camp at Musgrove's Mill.
This post was forty miles from McDowefl's
camp.
Soon after daylight, when Shelby had ar
rived within half a mile Of the camp, cili-
zen was taken prisoner. from whom he learn
ed that the nj ht previous The Queens A.

this information was received the enemy's
patrol fell in with the advanced corps OF
Shelby's force. The patrol was immediate
" fired on and driven in with the loss Of sew
eraI men. This gave the enemy ths alarm.
Although the Tory force was so much larg-
er Than had been expected, neither Shelby
nor his men thought Of anything but meet
ing them. Ground was selected for an en-
csgement stretching at right angles across
the road about half mile from the Eronee
