Rev DR BACON AND HIS PARTY AMONG THE NOUN
TAINs PERsIA.-The last number OF the New York
Observer contains long and interesting letter from the
son OF Rev. DR.. Bacon, of New Haven, Connecticut,
who, with Dr. B. and Rev. Mr.. Marsh, attempted to
cross from the city OF Mosu, the Tgris to Oroomlah
the residence OF the HISTORIAN Christians On their pass
age through the Kurdish mountains they were robbed,
and narrowly escaped being murdered by the savage anti
Christian Kurds, and finally forced to return 10 Mo-
sui. The narrative is very interesting but not having
for it, the following, from the Rev. w. +. Will
liams, written al Mosu, June 3. must suffice:
:" was interrupted and amazed by the unexpected an
that Mr.. Marsh bad returned. They came,
a sad, wo-worn looking cavalcade.
"They were here able only 10 hire animals 10 Akr--
three days of-and were detained there from Friday,
till Monday in hiring other animals which time the
Aga there improved BY forwarding letters into the
lains TO every Aga on their route. that Franks were
coming, who must be plundered and murdered This
was course learned by them until long aferward
Tuesday night they disturbed by armed visiters,
whom their host had great difficulty in quieng.
1.-THE next day they were waylad, captured, baggage
searched and relieved of all their money and much OF
their clothing. and long consultation was held as to
which they had put into their fobs were no, found the
Kurds understanding nothing OF the mystery OF breeches
pockets.
The Aga 10 whom they had been brought would not
allow his men punder reservng that luxury TO him.
self The Agas wife was vigorous IN using all her IN
fuence for their deverance, and after many hours Of
suspense, they sent off under escort to Mooah
house nights and day. and then escorted them
their road ill they in comparative safety-wiih
great difficulty delivering them from The malice Of third
Aga who sent and then another to kill them,
and then came himself 10 why his orders were not
complied with. All the Moolah's influence and argu-
mems called into requisition but he succeeded in
putting them safely their route 10 Mosu, and to-day,
alter a most exhausling fortnghrs labor. when they
should have been in Ooomah, they are all here whence
they started

This old man being with them led parley, and this to

do nor how to act He afraid 10 let them &c, for
Franks have nfuence-arad TO kill them, for Franks

and they escaped.
"At rough gues.. should say that the value OF the
things taken was $1,000, besides $50 in money. The
thieves acted strangely They gave back TO Mr.. Marsh

Ibayea little nciden, connected with McManus to
