Let ms have no War.

A war with Mexico would be wholly
unpTovoked on the pretexts that exist,
aud would be unpopular on any pretext
1t would be long, stubborn aud expen-
sive. 1t would require a large increase
of the Federal army, and would open
anew all those sources OF corruption
which thrive on the shock of arms. The
contractor, the jobber, the sutler, would
again be power in this land. The naval
and the civil service would participate
with the military arm in increased ap-
propriations and new extravaganceS.
Retrenchment and economy would
cease. The work of reducing and re-
funding the national debt would ue ar
rested Some few branches OF business
would be unhealthfully stimulat by
war, at the expense of Others. And after
the contest was over there would be a
collapse worse than that through which
we are now passing. All the reslduary
evils of tie late civil war would be en-
HANGED by a new war. We have no mis-
givingS as to the result of such contest.
The United states would assuredly win.
But the fruits of victory would be bar
rem indeed. The more of MeAico we an
nexed the worse we should be off, for
we should add "A mongrel and unmauage-
able race to our hybrid population mat
would give this country more trouble
than the Indians, negroes and Chinese
a II combined; while the territory gained
would be far less habitable and desirable
than millions of acIes in the West and
South of the United States now running
to waste for want of improvement. We
desire nothing from Mexico which cam
not be secured nv peaceful and honorable
measures.-N. y. Journal Of Commerce.

The Atlantic and Pacific Office in
This city to be merged into the
Western Un,on.

The recent consolidation of the
Western Union and Atlantic 81 Pacific
telegraph companies, has had the eff
feet OF merging the offices of the lat
ter into those of the former in a num-
ber of towns and cities where the rival
offices were maintained.
In this city, the two Offices have
been continuing separate existence
thus far, but sometime during to-day
they will be merged, and the wires bat
teries, and other effects of the Atlantic
& Pacific company, at the S. W. cor
ner of Third and Market streets, will
be removed to the Ifflce of the West
ern Union company, at the northeast
corner of the same streets.
La making the change the A. g. p,
wires will be taken into the w. U
office through the room in the rear
formerly used by Esquire Frazer.
This roJm is now used by the w. U
office, as a store room, and batteries
are also located here, the rear !. cell II
on Third street, winch was formerly
used for storage purposes, having been
vacated.
Manager Westbrook, of the Western
Onion oulce, IL Il tne opinion thai The
consolidation of the two companies
will not result in any material increase
of rates on the w. U. lines, at leas,
not of local ties. The ra es to dis
tant points, which are said to be ex-
tremely low, may possibly be some
what increased.
After this week the Western Un ion
office in the Clayton House will be dis
continued, whicn will leave the office

TURKISH BARBARISM.
BULGARS SAVED FROM CIR

Special Correspondent OF the Times.
KUsTENDJR. August

hUSTENDJE, August l.
A day or two ago news came that the
people of little village on. the coast,
twenty miles away, were in great dis
tr ,ss, a1d the Governor begged the rail-
way company to send their steamer to
the assistance of the inhabitants, and to
bring them here if required. I went
along with a few others to give hand,
aud In few hours we were at the place.
When the steamer came to anchor all
the people rushed to the shore, scream
ing and making violent gestures, which
at that distance-the steamer could not
go very near on account of shoal water
I'VE could not m ike out. Presently a
halfdoZen wild-looklng chaps on horse :
back came down, took shot at US and
scampered away. These were the last
of the CircaSsians. Landing, we found
the town in great confusion and the peo-
pie half crazed with terror and anxiety.
1 he CircaSSians whom we saw were the
rear guard of a body of several hundred
who had been pillaging the place. They
had driven off all the live stock, search
, ed all the houses for money, carried
away all the clothing and articles of
began to search the people for money
and valuables, Some resisted and were
instantly shot, and their bodies lay there
in proof of this statement; others pro-
tested and were struck with yataghans
and dagg1rs, and in proof of this tn: re
were a half score of wounded men, wo-
men and children. One of the wounded
was a boy of IL, the last of five sons who
were defending their mother. Four were
killed, and the survivor has yataghan
cut on his head six inches long, penetra-
, ting the brain. His mother was seized
and searched after her last son, fell aud
then a dagger was thrust through her
, breast. She still lives and is likely to
recover, as well as her son.
HORRIBLE BUToHERY.
| The details of this butchery are hor.
rible to think of. Children were caught
and transfxed on spears. We found
one little fellow with great cash in his
shoulder, another with bullet through
his arm, and very many had yataghan
wounds severe enough to have killed on
the spot any civilized being. The panic
in the town was so great that We had
much difficulty in parceling the people
out INTO the small boats TO be taken to
the steamer, for they were all crazy to
come to Kustendje and we've weeping
and begging on their knees to be carried
away. Such was the confusion and
haste that one boat with twenty-seven
men, women and children was capsized
half way out to the steamer, aud all
drowned under our eyes, aud when we
came away the bodies were still floating
about. Night fell, and still many people
remained on shore, so posting guard
to watch the return of the Circassians,
whom we expected every momeAt, we
! waited until daybreak, when the re-
mainder were taken on board, and we
got up anchor and took them, nearly
, four hundred ia all, to this place.

NEW York, Aug. 81.
The new schedule of telegraphic rates
has been submitted and ratified by the
Executive Committee Of the Western
Union Telegraph Co. and ordered to be
presented to the A. & P. company for
Confirmation. The Executive commit
tee of the latter company does not meet
until next week, when the pooling con-
tract entered into between the two COM
panies will come up for ratification as
well as the new schedule of rates. The
rates the officials of both companies say
that conversation has been the grade, and
the tariff has been increased only to a
moderate degree. Rates to Buffalo, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Washington would
remain at twenty-five cents, but to
Chicago, ST. Louis, fifty cents, or an
, increase of one hundred per cent over
, the present tariff, but less than was
charged before the telegraph war was
commenced. To New Orleans an in
crease has been made from rs cents
the present rate, to ST. ,25.
An officer Of one of the com panies says
the schedule prepared is not general In
its character hut is merely confined to
the leading cities, where the bulk Of the
J business is done, and the increase is SO
slight that business men will have no
cause for complaint.

ed 81 bad three Indians in my corps.
As scouts they were unequalled. We
cosld do nothing with them as soldiers.
They would not drill, they would not

cept in their wild Indian way. We
we're troubled By sharp shooter who
had picked off our men and We could,

scouts. lie came to my camp in a
slouchy way, seemed half asleep, and
was wholly Indifferent. When | told
him what | wanted, his face glowed,
his eyes sparkled and he Strengthened
himself up like a crested snake ready TO
strike, rolled his trousers up to his
thighs, his sleeves to his shoulder
blades-to be as much Of a savage as
possible. He took his rife, several
rounds of ammunition. threw himself on
the grass before there was any need of
it, and wound himself along with the
velocity and silence of suake. Three
shots brought the shsrp-shooter down,
wheu the scout returned perfectly ex
liberated.
