Cutting the Cairo Canal.

A private letter from the gallant
Confederate, General II. +. Colston,
now a Colonel on the staff of tho
khedive of Egypt, gives. through,
the Wilmington, North Carolina
Journal, an interesting account oil
the annual ceremony Of cutting open
the bank of the Nile, to Let the
food spread its fertilizing slluvia
on the surrounding lands. Here IL
the extract: Coincident with the
tete on the khcdiye's return, took
place the great annual ceremony
Of cutting tho bank of the Nile,
called tho Aoa;mei KaEg. You

playing and cannon firing, and
Arabs singing and dancing all night

night men had been cutting the
dam, and carrying off the dirt in
baskets, (wheelbarrows are un-

there remained only y wall Of
earth. Two battalions Of infantry
and a battery of artillery were
drawn up along the banks of the
canal to add TO the display. About

gave a blow with a pick; at the
