Mexican Outrages In Texa $,

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Aug. Capt.
King, the largest stock owner in Texas,
was attacked six miles from his ranch by
band of eight Mexicans. A German
named Speecht was killed. King and 9TH
erS escaped. The MeXicans fled, when
their fire was returned. 1t is believed
these men were sent to murder King to
prevent him from appearing before the
Depreciation Commissioners at Browns
Vile. The Commissioners express aston
ishment at the crimes and outrages which
the MeXicanS have perpetrated upon the
people of Texas, as shown by the testimony
taken.
FORT MONROE, Aug.-The United States
frigate Worcester, flying the broad flag of
Rear Admiral S. ?. Lee, commanding the

VIRGINIA. DEMOCRATS OPPOSING GREE
-n LEY,
ALIst of Unsaleable Democrats,

Lynchburg Correspondence New York Herald.l
Virginia stands almost alone in the num-
ber of recalcitrant Democracy. General
Early is not the only man who would
naturally act with the Conservatives who
are opposed to Greeley. w. S. Early, of
Albemarle county, and his son, and in
deed the whole Early family, go with him
in his opposition. Col. BenjamiR S. Ewell,
brother of the late General Ewell, and
President of William and Mary College,
not only goes against Greeley but supports
Grant, and declares he has been unable to
discover any military despotism in Vir-
ginia. John Harmer Gilmer, of Rich
mond, who ranks with John B. Baldwin
as a lawyer supports Grant. James Lyons,
also of Richmond, has declared in letter
that he will do the same thing unless the
Democracy make straight-out nomina
ton. Governor Wise and his son, John
r. WISE are well known to be hostile to
the Baltimore Cincinnati programme, and
it is claimed, they may even vote for
Grant. Judge Taliaferro, Judge Robert
son, Jack Mosby and a number of other
leading men are in the same position.

RAIN CLoUDs.-A few weeks ago rain
cloud burst and washed away the road-bed
OF the Honesdale branch of the Erie Rail-
way for distance of about one hundred
feet. Cloud-bursts are of infrequent oc-
currence In the Atlantic States, but they
are quite common in Nevada and else
where. In the extreme West. A cloud
burst Is not waterspout, though the two
are often eonfounded in the popular mind.
A waterspout results from a whirlwjnd,
which gathers quantity of water from
the face OF the ocean Or some other broad
surface, and whirls it upward and through
the air.

HERE'S WHAT GREELEYIsM MEANS.
What Kentucky Democracy Hope for

What Kentucky Democracy Hope for.
Gen. George b. Hodge is on the Greeley
electoral ticket in Kentucky. He made a
speech a few days ago at Lexington, in
which he made this bold declaration, as it
was reported by special dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette:
Looking back now upon what he once
considered the shattered and fruitless
hopes of the South, he saw that the equal
rights and sovereignty of the States would
be restored, and that his comrades of the
lost cause hare not died IN rain, but this
anticipated triumph would be the Uictory
for a0hich they fought" These were his
identical words. The same dispatch says !:
" Hon. James B. Beck declared positively
that the Democrats simply supported
Greeley as means of getting into power,
and upon his election Democratic Con-
gress would not only prevent Greeley from
doing harm, but would compel him to ac-
quiesce in such measures as they deemed
necessary

Gen. DiX'S Letter.

The frank and emphatic letter of Gener-
al Dix, which we published on Saturday,
must have decided influence on the Pres
idential contest. 1t has in it the same
ring of patriotic determination that his
famous dispatch had to shoot down who
ever attempts to haul down the American
flag General Dix is known to the whole
country as one of its most enlightened, dis
interested, and experienced statesmen.
His long public service. both in peace and
war, and the spotless purity of his charac-
ter, must lend to any expression of his
opinions all unusual weight. But when
that expression is accompanied, as in this
case, by the evidence of so much earnest
ness and seriousness of conviction, it must
arrest the attention of every candid and
thinking mind,-Ncw York Post (L,sde-

The Religious Press.

To tie Editor of the Nea0 York Times.
Having been several years connected
with prominent religious journal in this
city, | am struck with the unanimity OF
the sentiments of nearly all the religious
press in regard to the impending political
crisis. know of but few, if any, Protest
ant religious papers among our exchanges
but that support the Administration heart
lily; and is there nothing in the fact that
the great majority of the christian people
of this country are heart and soul praying
that we may not be delivered into the
hands of the Philistines. The religious
press is great power in the land, and will
stand shoulder to shoulder with such able
advocates of right and justice as the New
York Times.

CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA
The cable conveyed a report from Suez yes
terday that the Egyptians were invading
Abyssinia with view to conquest, and
that it was thought that they would defeat
the Emperor, who was advancing to meet
them.
1t is long since Egypt distinguished her
self in arms, but from the broad intelli-
gence displayed by her rulers in late years,
in developing the country, there is at least
room from the suggestion in this unlocked
