vigilance represents. the whole of the diff
6culty. Whether the defiIes will be pass
ed and the plain reached according to
calculation, before the rains actually set
in, is a different question; but no great
alarm seems to have been felt on the sub
ject, and, indeed, a telegram of more
recent date than our correspondents let
ter represented things as going on we'll.
In a very short time we shall be able
to sum up the profit and loss of one of
the most extraordinary expeditions ever
undertaken, TO compare predictions with
events, and to measure the realities against
the chances of the campaign 1t hardly
needs remarking that we have been most
agreeably disappointed in many of our
Expectations but this, it is fair to add,
does not prove that the expectations
were unwiSely entertained. In "a case
where all was unknown and obscure we
could but reason from probabilities, and
the probabilities were certainly against
such results as were experienced. 1t was
more likely that Abyssinia would he
found infested with plaques than that it
would be free from all dangers except
those of bad roads. We have only to
read these early dispatches to see how
carefully the authorities of the Expedi-
ton felt their way and how little they
calculated on the facilities which they
discovered. Our ''leap in the dark"
ended with our alighting upon our legs,
but nobody could have been assured of
such a result beforehand, nor Can it be
now quoted 10 prove that the enterprise
should have been undertaken with less
reluctance. Nor is it, indeed, clear ever
at this minute that the preparations
which were made on the supposition Of
far harder work were in any degree ex-
c~essive. Had Theodore kept his army
in Magdala, and there awaited our attack,
it is certain that the expeditionary force
would have been none too strong for the
duties of the siege, and the very incidents
now related show that we may have
owed the safety of our march to the
strength of our columns.
The account against us is extremely
short. We have spent five millions of
money, and that is all. We have lost
hardly q man by disease or wounds, and
the havoc among the baggage animals is,
we presume, included in the bill. For
this sum we have discharged a national
duty and rescued our countrymen and
their companions from a terrible captIvi-
ty. We have earned the applause and
admiration of Europe, not only by our
success, but by Jul disinterestedncss.
We have learnt some lessons in the art
of war, or, at any rate, in military orga-
nization, but as fer any accidental fruits
of the Expedition, there never surely was
enterprise SO barren. It seems almost
incredible that an army could have
marched so far into the interior of an
u~nexplored continent and discovered so
little worth knowing. The Expedition
was very properly accompanied by Com
missioners re representing various branches
of scientific inquiry, but those gentlemen
must return empty-handed. Hardly a
curiosity could be obtained for the British
Museum. King Theodore's Empire had
no owns or cities, or capital. HIsstrong-
hold was more like an immense eagles

A FInwinr Fountain.

Editors Memphis Appeal.
A few weeks ago correspondent sug-
gested, through the medium Of your jour-
nal, the utility and propriety of estab-
fishing 10 the center OF Court Square
public fountain. Every citizen in Mem
phis approved Of the idea, and cOnsid-
cred that 1t would not only beautify the
Park, but that it would tend to cool the
surrounding atmosphere. 1t was, how
ever, considered by many that the
project could not be carried to success
full issue, inasmueh as water could not be
procured. These objections have all
been removed by the presence of Mr..
Henry Rles, the proprietor Of the Ries
patent, who is now in our city, and pro-
poses to try the experiment. Mr.. Ries
states that by driving iron tubing In
the earth to a requisite depth, good
drinking water can be procured. Mr..
Ries will commence operations early this
morning, and feels sanguine of his sue
cess. The Park Is the principal OBJ
Ject Of attraction in our city. 1t
is considered a boon to our hard
working merchants and mechanics
who, after the weary tolls of 8
hot day, resort there to enjoy pleasant,
cool breeze. 1t is useful throughout the
day as place where servants can repair
with children; and the want of foun-
tain in the Park Is conceded great pub
lie loss. A neat flowing fountain would
be useful as well as ornamental; and it
is hoped that Mr.. Ries will be sustained
in his enterprise.

THE CARD OF Col. CRoSs.-In yester-
days Avalanche, Col. d. G. Cross ad-
dressed letter to the public, detailing
the outrsges to which he has been ex.
posed through series OF prosecutions
that are almost without parallel, and
which deserves to be severely punished
by those to whom the subordinate officer
is amenable. The narrative Of Cok Cross
is full and complete, and denounces Will
liams, who exercised the privilege his
command gave him, in arresting, i'm
prisoning and subjecting to repeated ia
suits a gentleman, whose sole offense
was his determination to bring to pun
ishment a thief and villain who had
stolen his property, and had sought pro-
lection at the hands Of Williams Col.
Cross applied to Gen. Gillem at Vicks
burg, through Gen. Dudley, who treated
the matter lightly. Col, Cross has not
been permitted 10 remsis at home since
March, being kept constantly in dread
of assassination, and being compelled to
avoid the surveillance kept upon his ac-
tons by the utmost vigilance and the
cQuSpanL lHIOEmAIlOn OF HlenOS.
This paper has heretofore adVerted to
the prosecutions to which Col. Cross has
been subjected, and we had hoped the
Commanding General would have taken
eognizsnce OF the acts of his subaltern
ere this but 1t seems to have escaped bis
notice, that the liberty and life of gen.
tlemsn OF untsrnished honor were worth
preserving. That Col. Cross should feel
bitterly aud speak warmly In Iastter
which go materially concerned him, is
natural. His wrongs have not been re-
dressed, and the creature Williams is
retained in q command which he dis
graces, ready to seize the first opportu-
nifty to renew his gross injustice and
repeat his acts Of tyranny.
