A COMPLETE WARLIKE EXPEDITION.
The English expedition to Abyssinia
is regarded by some of the London
newspapers as marvel in the way of
exhibiting the diversity of appliances
which modern science has provided
for the prosecution of q war among
savage tribes. Bread-making ma
chimes will be set up wherever posi-
bile, tube wells and pocket filters will
be in use, ice will be made by freez-
ing machines in sufficient quantity to
serve surgical and medicinal purpos-
es, and enough compressed vegetables
will be carried for sanitary treatment.
Even the proper publication of the
air in the hospitals has been scrupu-
lously provided for. An archeolo-
gist, q mineralogist, zoologist, a
geographer. q Typographical staff,
and several photographers, are also
preparing to accompany the expedi-
tion. Railroads will be improvised,
there will be balloons for military
surveys, together with signal appa-
ratus. rockets, &C., all denoting an
age of progress. If these things do
not conquer King Theodore, perhaps

WHAT A PRACTICAL MAN SAYS
Senator Sprague, Of Rhode Island,
who is large manufacturer as well
AS a large cotton planter, delivered
speech on Friday last. before the
adjournment, of Congress for the
holidays, on the repeal of the cotton
tax, in which he made the startling
statement that the British manufac-
turers are now able, by their skilled
labor and machinery. to produce
from the short and dry staple of
India cotton Q product equal to that
from the American staple. He said
that at this day Egyptian cotton was
used in seven-eighths of the articles
in which sea island cotton was for
merly employed, and that he be-
lieved in two years this latter article
would only be produced as rare
plant in some gentleman's garden.
The plantations of the South he did
uOo OOhSloCI WOrGl Oue-LWeuCleCn
part of their value before the war.
Mr.. Sprague told the Senate that he
not only apprehended we had lost
the great cotton interest forever, but
that he even feared the competition
of India cotton in American markets.
These are not the statements of
Congressional declaimer, but of a
practical man, who rarely asks the
attention of the Senate. Truths like
these ought to rouse the industrial
classes of the country, and bring
them to decide whether this destruc-
ton Of cotton, commerce and manu-
factures, on legitimate basis, is not
higher price than they are able to
pay for the perpetuntion of radical
power.

A CLoCK.--Mr.; II. o. Morrill,, of
Baltimore, has made q wonderful
clock. His extra time for the last
fourteen years has been devoted to
its perfection, and it is indeed the
wonder of the age. The space ne
cessary to display its capacity and
operation is nine feet by eighteen
feet. 1t runs eight days and per-
forms as follows: It wakes up a house
hold. Strikes the quarters by four
automatons on four bells. Sounds
the alarm TO awaken the master OF
the house. Lights a lamp and kin
dies fire in the stove. A carriage is
seen coming along O mountain road,
calls at place of business, and gets
clock left for repair. The bell Is
rung to awaken q servant, who rises
in the presence of the audience and
draws the curtain of her chamter to
make her toilet. The carriage is
again seen upon the road; when near
rocky covert o robber springs in
front of the horses, and fight en-
sues. A farmer by the roadside, not
seeing the robber, commences to be-
labor the horses, when n hunter in
the distance comprehends the stun
tion, fires his rifle at the robber, who
escapes to the mountain, and the car
riage with its inmates drives on to it's
destination. Ali this is done by the
machinery of this unrivalled clock,
which is said to be an admirable
timer.

In THE WRONG Box.-Yesterday, a
colored man applied at the box office
of the National Theatre, for two
tickets for reserved seats in the dress
circle, ut the performance last even
ing, and it being customary for color
ed men to be sent for tickets, they
were sold to him without hesitation.
Last night, two colored men, said to
be brothers. named Wallace, present
ed tickets to the door-keeper, which
he hurriedly took, without looking at
them, and the men passed into the
parquette circle and took seats.
Very soon considerable excitement
was manifested. and some cries were
heard of "niggers in the pit-put 'em
out" Officers Of the house went to
the men and informed them that
they were in the wrong part Of the
theatre; that there were seats espe-
cially for the accommodation of CO.
lored people, in the upper gallery.
They said that they had paid for
seats where they we're, and refused
to leave. The excitement continued
until the close of the third act of the
play. Forrest as Metamora,) when
some threats were made, and the
attaches of the theatre, fearing trou-
Bile, again attempted to induce the
men to leave. Finally they offered
to 60 If their money was refunded to
them. This WAS done at once, and
they loft the theatre. -

The ST. THOMAS AND ALASKA Pun
oHAsEs.-The Washington { CORES
pondeHt of the New York Rsrald
writes ss follows, under date o. she
26th, l. (; (,
"Frofn trustworthy source 1learn
that the disposition of the House 6f
Representatives, previous to their all
journment, was positively ii1imieas 70
the contamination of the purchase OF
the islands of st. Thomas and st.
John. The recent earthquakes have
had the effect of shaking the enthu-
siasm of many who favored the ac-
QUESTION, and the retrenchment agi-
tation has operated unfavorably in a
peouniary point Of, view? This, it is
sail, accounts for the hesitation of
the Government in Fastening the
transfer until the overtowering OBJ
stacle-an appropriation of the ne
cessary money-be either removed or
the House take conclusive action to
the contrary.
Respecting Alaska. no annrehen-
sions are entertained as to the CO.
operation of the House, though it is
generally known many cold votes will
be given in its favor. AS the United
States Government has already taken
formal possession Of that hypetbore-
an region, it is argued that negative
of the money feature in the affair
would, place the, Government in q
very awkward position. Upon this
ground many will support the mea-
sure, who under other circumstances
would act adversely. Great efforts
will be made by the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs to carry both pur-
chases."

A GREAT COSMOPOLITAN FESTIVAL.
The New York World tells us that a
grand and sumptuous festival is
under way there, which is intended
to surpass that held three years ago
in one of the free towns of Ger
many. It says:
'"rhe ocean mails and Atlantic
cable have already been employed to
OBTAIN the cooperation OF German,
french, Swiss and Austrian societies.
with those of this and other Ameri-
can cities, in securing the assemblace
of ut least 100000 gymnasts, SHARP
shooters, musicians and vocalists in
New York next June. Encouraging
replies are received from Europe.
The German steamship Companies
intimate their willingness to aid the
scheme by reducing fares. A liberal
cosmopolitan spirit Isl manifested bv
those in charge of preliminary ar
rangements; and, if war is STAYED
abroad, we shall have music and
musketry in unprecedented volume
and volleys here at home. Paris
during the Exposition, or Berlin on
the day of the return of the Prussian
army from the last war, were quiet
cities compared with what this me.

r WHAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD Do.
The Metropolitan Record thinks Presi-

in calling upon Congress to set the
seal Of its approval and commenda-
tion on the wise and judicious oourre
Of General Hancock, since he took
command in his new department..
Let him now follow it up by an Off
cial statement of the condition of the

policy, SO that the people may know
how that section is impoverished,
how its industry is wrecked, and
how hundreds Of thousands are in q

lNcrTING THE NEGROES "A gentle
man in this city has received n letter
from friend in Liberty County, in
which o passage occurs inforniing
the recipient that the negro member
or the Atlanta Convention, has sent
word to the negro laborers in his
district, to "hold their places until
the first OF January, when he will
give them further orders."
Any comment on such an order is
unnecessary. This course, followed
to any length OF time, must and will
inevitably lead to rupture.

M1s-D1REcrED LETTERS. According
to the Postmaster-G Generals report,
not less than million letters were
mailed last year without signatures,
and mis- s-directed, or SO badly direct
ed, that the address was totally un-
intelligible-these were destroyed.
More than O million and half
others-1, Gil, ,66G-were restored to
their writer's by the care of the deaal
letter Office. Thus It seems that at
least two and half millions of mis-
takes were madein an operation which
one would think likely to enlist the
sufficient care of the writer, the ad-
dressing of a letter. These letters
contained nearly $3.50, 600 in money,
bills of exchange, deeds, checks. &C..

over $4,000 contained photographs,

\ ASoUTH- THREE MILLION WHITES AND
!, BLAcKs ON TFIE POINT OF STARVATION.
One of the. travelling correspondents
Of the New York Herald, who ! has
made an extensive tour Of Louisiana,
Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, North
fRnd South Carolina, represents the
condition OF the freedmen as heart.
rendiHg in tha extreme. In all the
cotton. districts of those States, the
great mass of the freedmen are no,
only on the point of starvation, but
possess scarcely sufficiency of cloth,
ing to, cover their nakedness. AT
most Of the railway stations, many
colored children collect on the ar.
rival, of the trains. and enter into
competition with the. famished swine
and dogs for the possession of the
bones thrown by passengers from the
trains, while scores of lazy negroes
collect about the depots as specta'
tors. In the'corn growing districts,
the prospects of famine are not sc
near. and wh;tes ard blacks arc ou
friendly terms. He declares that the
negroes are mneh more destitute
than under the old slave regime. In
many counties of these States, the
forests are filed with armed negroes,
who hunt game in day time, and
make raids upon planters stock al
night. The reign Of terror is general
in upper Louisiana, lower Mississippi
and the cotton districts of Georeia
and the Carolinas. The destitution,
however, is not confined to the
blacks. Thousands of the white
population have not months pro.
visions ahead, and no money with
which to lay in supply. Many
planters, who were far-seeing, pro-
vided years supply for their fami-
lies; but the starving negroes have
very generally pillaged their smoke
houses and granaries and stripped
them clean. His estimate of the
number of persons, compiled from
statistics collected by the Executives
OF the States and others,) who will
starve, unless Congress provides some
relief, is three millions, two-thirds OF
whom arenegroes. This estimate EN-.
braces Louisiana, Mississippi. Ala.
Dama, Georgia and the Oarolinas.
He has no estimate of the other un-
reconstructed States. Unless prompt
action is taken to provide for the
starving freedmen and whites, the
pillaging of the whites will become
general, the latter will resist, and a
bloody conflict will be the result.
Planters are generally alarmed, and
would leave the country could they
raise the means to remove their
families. Hundreds are Offering theil
homes for mere song, but can find
no purchasers. Plantations that be-
fore the war commanded as high as
fifty dollars per acre, can be purchas
ed for five dollars per acre, so genera
is the terror that reigns and the de-
sire of the owners to save their
families from the outrages that are
threatened by the negroes, unless aid
comes from the Government or the
people of the North.

IEE HUGUENoTs.-A valuable
chapter in English history has been
prepared by Samuel Smiles, the we'll
known author of .Self Help, and other
readable works. Very much of Eng
lands character, as a manufacturing
and commercial nation, she owes to
the immigraticns of the ingenious
and industrious Huguenots, who
were driven to her shores by the
storms of relentless persecution. A
history of their settlements, churches
and industries in England and Ire
land, by Mr.. Smiles, has been pub
lished by the Messrs. Harper, to-
gether with an appendix relating to
the Huguenots in America, by the
Hon. G. P. Disosway, than whom
there is no better authority on Hu-
guenot antiquities in America. No
labor or research seems to have been
spared in gathering material, and the
work will undoubtedly at once take
its position among the standard his
tories OF our race. OF the Huguenot
church in the cathedral vaults at
Canterbury, this work says:
SIT is remarkable circumstance
that the original French Calvinist
Church still continues to exist in Can
terbury Cathedral. 800 years have
passed since the first body of exiled.
Walloons met to worship there-30O
years, during which generations have
come and gone, and revolutions have
swept over Europe; and still that elc-
quent memorial of the religious bis
tory of the middle ages survives,
bearing testimony alike to the rancor
of the prosecutions abroad, the heroic
steadfastness Of the foreign Protes-
tants, the large and liberal spirit of
the English Church, and the glorious
asylum which England has in all
times given to foreigners flying for
refuge against oppression aud
tyranny. %
''The visitor to the cathedral, in
passing through the Under Croft, has
usually pointed out to him the apart
mont still used as the French
church, 1t is walled off from the
crypt in the South side-aisle; and
through the windows which overlook
the interior, the arrangements of the
place can easily be observed. 1t is
plainly fitted up with pews, a pulpit
and precentor's desk, like dissent
ing place of worship-and, indeed, it
is o dissenting place of worship,
though forming part of the High
Cathedral of Canterbury"
