CHARLOTTESVILLE and RAPIDAN RAIL
EOAD.--The stockholders OF the proposed
Charlottesville and Rapidan railroad met
to-day in the Midland Railroad building,
but transacted only business OF no general
interest. After the stockholders meeting
the directors met and had q conference with
the contractors, which was oil a very salts
factory character. 1t is understood that
everything is progressing well, and that il
the people along the proposed route will
display liberality in reference to the right OF
way through the country the road will be
commenced at an early day and be pushed
forward rapidly. The road would lot only
be OF great advantage as connecting link
with the Virginia Midland road, but will
bring Alexandria and Charlottesville into
direct communication, and thereby increase
the prosperity CT both in Il commercial point
OF view, and in other ways.-Aie1andria

BEAcoEssIELD's COUP TRIUMPH OF ENGLISH
DIPLOMACY.

& :,
BEAcoEsFIELD's COUP 4 TRIUMPH OF ESGLIsH
DIPLOMACY.
LONDON, July 10.-Lord Beaconsfield's
coup has thrown into the shade all other
topics, but is is yet too soon TO Judge what
direction the current Of public opinion here
and on the Continent wilftake The Times S
Berlin correspondent says that when the
AngIo-T Turkish Convention was first an
nounced there English diplomacy enjoyed
n prestige such as it lad not enjoyed for a
long time, but later some dissenting voices
were heard. Tie coup, said some, is TN
doubleday clever, but it is questioned
whether in the long run il will rebound to
the honor and interest OF England. Others
still speak OF the event with unqualified ad-
miration. The Vienna PreSSe says: I'VE
cannot but hail with sincere satisfaction this
victory won without boodshed by English
policy over the Eastern question, for the
existence OF Turkey-so fra;l when she her.
self is her sole support-will, under the en-.
ergetic protection Of England, be able to be
maintained for long years."

sore throat.
Bulgarian and Russian Atrocities.
CoSsTANTISoPLE, July 10.-A dispatch to
the Times says that Fawcett has returned
from Sagos, and reports that intense suffer-
ing exists among the population south OF
the Rhodope mountains. He enumerateS
many horrors perpetrated by the Bulgarians
and Cossacks, also by regular Russian SOL
diers, whose designs seem to be the eNter-
minatian or utter dispersion OF the Nlussul-
mans and Christians favorable to them. In
the Domada district tifty-three villages have
been pundered and burnt by Russian and
Bulgarian troops within the last two
months. Also, twenty three villages nave
been equally laid waste and burnt in the
District OF Haskiev, and in Phillipolis dis
trict twelve villages have been burnt.
In numerous villages there have been
wanton destruction, attended by deeds OF
unheard.ot brutality. Cases OF men and
women deliberately burnt alive have
been frequent. Violations Of the young
have also been very frequent. Moth
ing more horrible than the particulars
OF this report can be imagined. Its
veracity rests on the official authority
of one OF the most respected OF her Ma
iesty's servants, and OF men employed by
him upon his conviction Of their perfect
trustworthiness. Fawcrtt intends to lay
his report before the English, Austrian, and
French ambassadors, with view OF sending
out commission OF inquiry to the spot to
endeavor to put an end to these excuses.

EnSIand'S New island.
New York Tribune.

New i OTk lTlDuucsI
Cyprus is the third largest island in the
Mediterranean Sea, and considerably ex-
cecds in area both Corsica and Crete. II
lies in the northeastern basin Of the Medi-
tcrranean. and is about equally distant from
the SYRIAN and Asia Minor coasts. Its
greatest length is 145 miles, and greatest
width GO. The width suddenly narroWs in
longitude $40, from whence extends north
easlerly long, narrow tongue OF land for
distance OF over As miles. The entrance
TO the Suez canal is $50 miles south, and the
island of Malta about 1000 miles west.
The proposed railway from the head OF
the Persian gulf up the valley OF the Eu-
pirates river through Aleppo would be dis
tant only about 120 miles (half land and
half water). Cyprus thus forming an I'M
portant station on that new route TO British
India. There is not, however, Il good natu-
raj harbor on the whole coast. \ large part
VI the island is occupied by two mountain
ranges, extending in general direction
from east 10 west. Between the two ranges
is a broad plain, known rs the Mcssaria,
watered by two streams, but open and un-
cultivated. Corn is grown in some por-
tons OF the plain, and it is believed that
the whole OF it might be cultivated.
In antiquity Cyprus was widely known
for its forests, which Tor long tlme sup
piled the Greek monarchs Of Egypt with
timber for their fleets. These forests have
now disappeared from plain and mountains
and it is only the Hottest peaks that retain
their covering OF trees. The rivers have
been affected by the clearing away OF the
forests, and are usually dry in sRmmer. Al
very early period Cyprus was known to1
| its mineral wealth, and the reputation its
copper-mfnes enjoyed among the Greeks
and Romans gave that metal its Latin name
OF Cuprium, Cuprium being variation from
Cyprium. Early historians record that
it produced considerable quantities OF
silver and precious stones. But in mod
ern times the mineraIcgy Of the island
has been very little explored. Certain por
tons are very fertile, and OF the products
besides corn, there are wine, oil, silk, WOOL
tobacco, and cotton. Among the anclents
it was noted for its fertility and beauty, and
the Venetlans during their occupation car.
ried on an extensive trade in its natural
productions. The Merraria, great centra
plain, is unhealtbful, and fevers OF danger
GUS kind prevail there. The population Of
the island, under the Venetians, is said tc
have been 100000 Though this is regarded
rs an eXageeration), while it is now placed
at only $4,000, OF whom two thirds are
Greek, and the others, for the most part,
arc Turks

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY.

Editors DiSpntch: We are in the midst
OF Notwithstanding, and am sorry to have
to report il is the poorest crop we have had
in this section for years-not more than one
third as much rs last year. The crop OF
straw is good, but the yield OF wheat is
very far below the estimate at harvest.
The tobacco crop was not intended to he
more than half Il crop. but in many sections
OF our county it will fall below that merely
for the want Of interest in the farmer. The
most OF them, l think, are waiting for some
thing TO turn up. They are demoralized
and discouraged, and we have fears it will
take some time and thorough reconstruc'
ton to Get them TO working right again.

THE LATE COMMODORE Manufacturing
the late war the Marine Society of New
York passed Il resolution denouncing the
late Commodore Matthew f. Maury for his
sympathies with the South, eXpelling him
from the list OF honorary members OF the
Society, and eXpungins from the records
certain resolutions commencing him for his
distinguished efforts in promoting nautical
science. navigation, and astronomy. at a
meeting OF the Society, however, last Mon
day evening, resolution was passed that
Tin consideration Of returning good feeling
between the North and South the Society
should rescind its previous copdemnatory
action, and restore the name OF Commodore
Maury TO the list OF honorary members, and
that the eXpunged resolutions be restored
TO their former place in the records. That
men claiming TO have common sense could
ever have taken the action that they have
reversed seems incredible. II the people
who do such things should go away and
commit suicide the verdict would certainly

The Batoufn question was arranged at q
meeting OIL Lord Bcaconsfleld and Prince
Gortschakotf, and at.the same Interview the
Anglo Turkish Convention was debated,
and the Prince made no objection to 1t, sta.
ting that Russia had no projects for aggran-
dizement on the coast OF Asiatic Turkey.
He perceived no difference between Eng
lands occupation OF Cyprus and her occn-
patton OF Malta. He would always be
pleased with anything tending to strengthen
EnglanG's road to India, because calculated
to promote the prosperity OF the whole
world. AT the close OF the interview the
representatives OF Russia and England
shook hands as a pledge OF the new relations
between the two Powers.
1t was stated in the House OF Commons
yesterday that the alliance with Turkey and
the convention in relation to Cyprus bad
been ratified some time, though not motif
fed to the Powers. The alliance has Gre
ated some sensation in Berlin, and the Paris
newspapers are quite bitter on the subject.

policy, and it is thought that dissolution

On Monday night connection was made
between the Sutro tunnel and the 1850 foot
level OF the Savage mine. The effect of this
opening was that powerful draft OF air
poured into the Savage mine, blowing out
the miners lamps and filing the drift with
dust and gravel. General Sutro, the pro-
jector OF this grand work, entered the
Savage mine through the tunnel, and q
grand iollitication ensued.
The Batoum question was settled at yes

the razing OF the Notifications was not
