DISCOVERY IN EGYPT.

4 most interesting discovery has been made
in Egypt. 1t is known that there exists in
Mount Zabarah, situated on al island in the
Red Sea, mine Of emeralds, which was for
merly worked by the pachas of Egypt, but
abandoned in the last years Of the reign OF Me-
hemet Ali An English Company have soc-
ted and recently obtained authority to resume the
working Of this mine, which is believed to be
still rich with precious stones. Mr.. Allan, the
engineer a the company, while directing
some impYEfant excavations in this place, has
discovered at d great depth traces of an an.
cieut gaIlerx@nch raust evidently be referred
to tho mos3renote antiquity. Upon remove
ing the rubbish, lthey found tools and an
cient utensils, and 4 stone, upon which is en-
graved a hieoroglyphic inscription, now par
tally dcfaced. This circumstance proves the
truth of the opinion expressed by Belzoni.
on the strength Of other indications, that this
mine was worked in ancient times.
The nature and form of the Implements dis
covered and the confguration Of The gallery,
the plan ofwhich has been readily traced, prove
most concusiveIy that the ancient Egyptians
were skilIul engineers. 1t seems from exam.
nation of the stone which has been discover
ed that the first labors in the mine Of Zabarah
were commenced in the reign of Sesostrs the
Great, or Ramcses Sesostrs who according to
the most generally received opinion, lived about
the year 1850 before Christ, and who is cele-
brated by his immense conquests, as well as by
the innumerable monuments with which he
covered Egypt.-M Y. Commercial Advertiser
Simplicity-The more see the world, the
more am satisfied that simplicity is the compan.
ion of true greatness. 1never yet knew tru-
ly great man who overtopped his fellow.man;
who did not possess certain playful, and al
most intantile simplicity. True greatness nev-
er struts or plays the king upon his stage. Con.
scious of its elevation, and in knowing what
that elevation consists. it is happy to act its
part like other men in the common amusements
and business of mankind 1t is not afraid of
being uudervalued for its humility. y.-Paulding.

4 SrEcK OF WAR.-The Houston Tele.

graph, Of July 18th, says:
"Several persons who have lately visited the
towns of Santa Rosa, Morelos and the Presi-
do, for the purpose of recapturing runaway
slaves, have returned, and report that the fugl.
tive slaves are harbored by the Mexicans, and
in some instances force has heen used to pre-
vent our citizens from recapturing these slaves.
This has so exasperated many of the settlers al
the West, that they are determined to raise a
force sufficient to overpower all opposition,
and re-capture their slaves at all hazards. At
the last accounts large party Of armed Tex
ans had assembled near Presdo and threaten
ed to attack the town if the fugitive slaves
were not given up 1t is intimated that there
are not less than two thousand fugitive slaves
in the Mexican towns between the mouth OF
the Rio Grande and Preside. In Santa Rosa,
there are forty fugitives who escaped f. ON one
plantation in Arkansas. The owner has mace
many efforts to induce them to return to Ar
kansas, hut in vain. They boast that they are
in free country, and permitted to enjoy equal
privileges whith the Mexcans. We have
been informed that about two hundred fugitives
from Texas crossed at one Of the principal fer
ries on the Rio Grande, during the last two
years. IL is CFlueUt tndL tlleSe uos
long be tolerated by our citizens, and unless
some measures are adopted by the government
to prevent the mischief, the citizens will arm
themselves and make foray upon the Mexi-
can towns to recover their property. We
have much reason to fear that difficulties of a
very serious character are springing up on that
frontier, and unless fugitive slave treaty be
concluded with Mexico, another war may, ere
long, be inevitable. We are informed that a
company Of ninety men well armed and equip
ped, will soon be marched into Santa Rosa, it
certain slaves are not given up, and we should
not be surprised if 6vehundred or thousand
men should follow them, should they meet with
opposition from the Mexican authorities. Our
information is derived from such respectable
sources, that we think there can be little
doubt that difficulties are brewing on our ives.

than those relating to the Cuban invasion. 1t
may be well for the government to look well to
this subject, and take timely precautions to
prevent another rupture with Mexico"

The Baltimore Sun may well BE dubbed
"a snapper up Of unconsidered trhes," as well as
an advocate of the policy of its neighbors the free
soiers of Pennsylvania, New York, &C.; for it is
really pitifll to observe the rapacty with which
it gulps down every little submission sentiment e.
that was uttered on the late anniversary of Anne
neutrality-suspicious.. The following toast, which
is as void ofsense as it is Of dignity, was given by
one D. r. Dunham, somewhere in Florida, and
tickles the editor of the Sun very much:-
BY D. R. Dunham: Thegreai, mighty puissant
magnificent, and grandiloquem Nation Of South
Caroiina-Quatlebum and kettle drums-six-
penny trumpets-boards of ordnance and 48 inch
howtzers! How she'll as,onish the Universe!
Now, we would be glad to know where Mr.
Dunham was in 1895, when South Carolina SO
gallsntIy equipped and sent forth her sons to as.
sist the inhabitants ofthat little State in her strug
gle with, lhe Seninoles. Was he in Connect.
cut, making wooden nuenegs and horn gun lints!
Or was be in Euqope, the vassal of monarch
and the Iiveried lackey of some proud autocrat!
When he has answered these questions rightly
we win he able to decide whether he is to be al
lowed to speak in such terms Of his superiors.
The alluson to Quattlebum is very clear echo
of the New York Tribune, TO which tribe he now
probably belongs. fso, he is rather small game,
and SO we give him the go by, believing that soon-
er or later he will find his proper level. ***

is astonishing that accidents are not more ire
