HOW OTHERS SEE Us.

Mr.. J. r. Clymer, editor of the Buoy
rus (0hio) Forum, who spent some weeks
in Memphis this summer, has written up
the city at considerable length and in q
highly favorable light. We make the
following extract:
Memphis has eleven steam packet
lines, two ferries, one cotton exchange,
one chamber Of commerce, ten banks,
six bailding and loan associations, nine
Insurance companies, thirteen newspa.
pers and periodicals, eleven theaters and
ether public places Of amusement, ten
relief and benevolent associations. seven
asylums and hospitals, six cemeteries.
ssd six pablo parks for the comfort and
amusement Of her people. Our Ohio
readers have but little conception of the
extent and activity Of the cotton trade.

river filed with cotton bales for a mile

activity goes on every weekday during

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
InactiOn of the Russian Armies

Twenty Thousand Baski BazOuks
and Ten Thousand Cavalry
Arrive at Moustar.

LONDON, October IA correspondent
writes that the Midland railway has been
destroyed in o gigantic and astonishing
manner by some Of its officers holding
positions of responsibility, and in whom
the utmost confidence was placed. The
principal means by which the company
have been defrauded was by those per-
sons erecting private dwellings and other
buildings both for themselves and others,
with material and men belonging to the
company. Several deliuquents are, it is
said, in prison, and others will be arrest,
ed shortly.
The inactivity of the Russian armies
in Asia is explained by an official dis
patch from st. Petersburg, announcing
that the insurrection started in the cea-
trail district of Daghestan, about the 18th
of September, gradually spread until all
Central and Southern Daghestan, incluG-
ing the coast districts, were involved.
On the 23d and Oath the Russians at
tackled the main body of insurgents, six
thousand strong, and defeated and dis
persed them. 1t is now believed the in
surrection will not give further trouble.
Sir John Bennett, twice elected alder
mar for the ward of Cheap and rejected
by the court of aldermen as a person IN
fit to discharge the duties, has again been
elected.

winter, bat judging from the reinforce
ments that hat one batch is constantly
receiving, we must conclude that frosty
weather is not far of. The tramp nui.
sance has grown to be an aggravated
evil. 1t originated in the North. and for
some years did not extend to the South.
But more recently Northern communi-
ties have become so aroused and exas-
perated that the vagabond army has
made considerable inroads in the South.
The hospitality and credulity of South
ern people is proverbial. They listen
with fearful eyes to the story OF the
tramp, and without waiting for him to
finish rush to the pantry and set before
him the best 10 the house. Thus eneour-
aged, the number OF these pests has
fearfully increased, until people are al
most afraid to refuse them a full meal as
often as they call for it. The tramp
business has become a profession with
untold thousands who wander up and
down the earth, a curse to all ~peaceable,
industrious communities. The question
itself upon us, what are we to do
