Am Africnn CaIlguia,

Mr.. Petherick, formerly BritisLCou-
sui to Alden, has spent sixteen years in
exploring Central Africa. He tells
some frjghtful stories of tho ravages
which were committed in the Soudan
by "Defterdar." Marchant Ali's Pacifca-
tor, who went out TO bring the Abyssin-
ians under his government, and succee-
ded in making them regard him as tho
worst fend who had ever cursed even
that unenlighened country. An Arab
woman come to him one day to complain
that one of his soldiers had robbed her of
a pitcher Of milk, which he drank before
her face, refusing to pay her for it
the value being one piastre. On being
asked If she could recognize the man.
and on her pointing him out, the Deft-
erdar told her he would convince him
self of the truth of her assertion, which,
if false. she should answer with the lost
OF her head. Thereupon he ordered the
prisoner to he thrown upon the ground
and mamelnke to cut open his stom-
ach with a hangar; and as the presence
of quantity OF milk there was undenia-
BILE, the Pasha, cody throwing a dollar
to the terrified complainant, remarked to
the bystanders that the soldier had medi-
tated theft, and afterwards told deliber-
ate lie--both of which acts were dis
graceful 10 soldier. f'"
This fightful parody of the Judgment
OF Solomon appears however, to have
contented him, nor was he in hurry to
sacrifice another soldier to bis scrupu-
lous sense Of justice. On another occa-
sion we are told Of peasant who came
before him to complain that soldier had
stolen sheep, and whom he answered
with Dog, do you dare to trouble me
with such trifle 20 Then, Composing
himself for an instant, and catchinga fly,
at which he was an adept, and which in
his wicked moods was a favorite occupa-
tion, he ordered his attendents to take the
man before the Kadi. In few minutes
the poor fellow was blown from before
the muzzle Of cannon, always ready for
summary executions in front Of the Di-
van, and which the Defterdar called tho
kadi." Again, when his groom asked
him for new shoes after the feast Of
| Bairam, when it is customary for servants
to receive presents from their masters, he
ordered them to be shod with iron shoes,
and these were actually nailed to the
soles of their feet. He had been known
to tie an Arab to gun to make it poise bet
ter on a camel's back and to mutilate him
in the most horrid ways on the slightest
provocation, Several of his mutilated
victims came under the observations of
Mr.. Pethrick, and while relating their
sufferings they bitterly cursed their bar
barous author. Mohomet Ali, wearied
at length with the endless complaints of
) his cruelties, is said to have put an end
to the life of his monster son-in-law by
I poison.

A Ruined Town.

An officer of Gen. Sturgis's command
in Missouri, writes to his friends in Gin
cinnati: The ruins of Oceola present a
sad picture Of war. Oceola was the coun-
ty seat of St. Clair county, and had pop
nlation of two or three thousand, and did
a very large business. 1t was a great rem
devious of secessionists, and here the Con-
federate army under Price was supplied
with cartridges and number of other ne
cessities of war. Gen. Jim Lane had oc-
cason to come to the little city about fou,
weeks ago. lie was fired upon while
marching through, Immediately the town
was set on fire by his men, and those cit
liens who fired upon him were shot dead
Not halfa dozen houses are LEFT, and
have failed to find more than three families
now living there.

Population OF the Globe.

A Professor of the Berlin University
has been making curious researches re-
specting the population Of the globe. The
following is the result
Population Of Europe. 272. 100000 ;
of Asia, 72O, 900, 900 of America, 2OO,-
100000 of Africa, SO, O00,OO of Aus
tralia, 90, ,000.O00 Total population Of
the globe, 1888, 900, 600. The average
number of deaths per annum, in certain
places where records are kept, is about
one to every forty inhabitants. AT the
present time the number of deaths in
year would be about $4,000 900, which
is more than the entire present population
of the United States. AT this rate the av-
erage lumber of deaths per day is about
81, sol. PER hour 1868, per minute 81.
Thus, at least, every second human life
is ended. AS the births considerably ex-
ceed the deaths, there are probably 20 or
so human beings born per minute,

and it is not my province TO render any
report Of this action. / deem il an i'm
perative duty to say that the firing and
manoeuvering Of our feet against that of
Of the rebels and their formidable land
batteries, was masterpiece Of activity
and professional skill, that must have eli
cited the applause Of the rebels themselves,
as tactical operation. / think that too
much praise cannot be awarded to the sci
ence and skill exhibited by tho flag officer
Of the Naval Squadron, and the officers
connected with his ships. deem the
performance ma sterly one, and ought to
have been seen to be fully appreciated.
After tho works were reduced | took
possession of them with the land forces,
The beautifully constructed work on Hill
ton Head was sevcrally crippled, and
many of the guns dismounted. Much
slaughter had evidently been made there,
many bodies having been buried in the
fort, and some twenty or thirty were found
some half a mile distant. The island, for
many miles, was found strewed with army
accouterments and baggage of the rebels,
which thew threw away IN their hasty re.
treat. We have also come into possess.

of which is of the heaviest calibre and q

My DEAR Mr.. Fox: During the dis
heartening events of our passage my faith
never gave way, but at some moments it
seemed appalling. On the other hand |
permit no elation at our success, yet l
cannot refrain from telling you that it has
been more complete aud brilliant than |
ever could have believed. have been un-
able to send detailed official account of
the battle. My report is full! up to the eve
of it, and think will interest you but l
had to content myself with succinct ac-
count, which l think will be liked as well
as a more detailed narrative. This l will
however, forward in time for the Secre-
tary's report. l kept under way and
made three turns, though | passed five
times between the forts. | had flank
ing division of five ships to watch, and
old Tatnall, too, who had eight small and
swift steamers ready to pounce upon any
of ours, should they be disabled could
get uone of my big frigates up. tho't

and the Savannah was blown off l do
not regret it, however, except on their ac-
count ] believe my plan was clever. !

agement the better in consequence. Their
confidence was extreme that they could
drive us away. They fought bravely
and their rifle guns never missed. Ar
80. FOUNDER rifle ball went through oul
mainmast in the very centre, making ar
awful hole. They aimed at our bridge
where they knew they could make hole
if they were lucky. "A shot in the centre
let water into the after magazine, but
saved hundred lives by keeping under
way and bearing in close. We iount
their sight graduated at six hundred
yards. When they once broke the STAN
pede was intense, and not gun wa,
spiked. In truth l never conceived o.
such fire as that of this ship on hel
second turn, and | am told that its effect
upon the Spectators outside of her was
intense. am told that when they saw
our flag en- shore they were powerless tC
cheer but wept. General Sherman was
deeply affected and the soldiers are loud
and unstnting in their expressions of ad
miration and gratitude. The works al,
most scientifically constructed, and ther,

ES-A Yankee and Frenchman own
ed pig in partnership, When killing
time came, they wished to divide the meat.
The Yankee was very anxious to divide
so that he would get both the hind quar-
ters, and persuaded the Frenchman the
proper way to divide was to cut the hog
across the back. The Frenchman agreed
to it in condition that the YANKEES would
turn his back and take his choice of the
pieces after it was cut in two. The Yam
kee turned his back accordingly.

CAPT. DUPoNT's OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following a,e the official dispatches
to the Navy Department:
FIRST DISPATCH.

" 'h0 1'"'H DSP"i'h@h'
FIRST DISPATCH.
FLAG SHIP WABASH, OFF HILToN HEAD,)
PoRT ROYAL HARBoR, Nov. 6, 1861.
SIR: The Government having determ-
ined to seize and occupy one or more i'm
portan. points on our Southern coast,
where our squadrons might find shelter,
possess a depot, and afford protection to
loyal citizens, committed to my discre
tion the selection from among those places
which it thought available and desirable
for these purposes. After mature delib-
Grafton aided by the professional knowl-
edge and great intelligence of the Assist
ant Secretary, Mr.. Fox, and upon taking
into consideration the magnitude to which
the joint naval and military expedition
had been extended, to which you have
called my attention, came to the con-
clusion that the original intention of the
Departments, if carried out, would fall
short of the expectations of the country,
and of the capabilities of the expedition,
while Port Royal, I thought, would meet
both in high degree.
Sherman, commanding the military part
of the expedition, this modification OF
our earliest matured plans, and had the
satisfaction to receive his full concurrence,
though he and the commanders of the
brigades very justly laid great stress on
necessity, If possible, of getting this frig
ate into the harbor of Port Royal.
On Tuesday, the Goth of October, the
fleet under my command left Hampto on
Roads, and with the army transports,
numbered so vessels, On the day pre-
vious l had dispatched the coal vessels,
twenty five in number, under convoy OF
the Vandalia, Commander Haggerty, to
rendezvous off Savannah, not wishing to
give the true point OF the feet. The
weather had been unsettled in Hampton
Roads, though it promised well when we
sailed. But off Hatteras it blew hard,
some ships got into the breakers, and two
struck, but without injury, on Friday, the
lst of November. The rough weather
soon increased into gale, and we had
to encounter one of great violence from
the Southeast, a portion of which ap-
preached to hurricane. The fleet was
utterly dispersed, and on Saturday morn
ing one sail was in sight from the deck OF
the Wabash. On the following day the
weather moderated. and the steamers and
ships began to re-appear. The orders
were opened, except those in case of sep
aration. These last were furnished to all
the men-of-war by myself and to the
transports by Brig. Gen. Sherman. AS
the vessels rejoined reports came in OF
disasters. Iexpected to hear of many, but
when the severity of the gale and the
character of the vessels are considered
we have only cause for great thankful
ness.
In reference to the men of war, the Isaa'
