NEW YORK, July 18.-Percy Ellis, brother of
Slrnh "A. DORSEY, who bequeathed by will all her
properly TO Jefferson Davis, is a resident of Brook
lVn. He says the property conveyed 10 Davis con-
sisrs, besides ready money and large tracts of uu-
cultivated lands in Mississippi and Arkansas, the
Brauvoir, Elk Ridge, plantation and the Elliston
plantation, Tensas Parish. La 1t is estimated to be
worth S25O, 600. A short time ago Mrs. Dorsey
visited her brothers. She was an enthusiast on the
subject Of Southern independence. and looked upon
Davis as the man who would yet work wonders for il.
She believed that nothing could reward him for his
"great work" Ellis, while aware of this deep set
enthusiasm for Davis. did no, think she would go TO
far as to give him all her wealth, when it ives
known that her husband had expressed u desire that
the son and daughter of her brother Percy should
have assured TO them an income.
The Times reporter learned yesterday from trust
worthy sources that Mrs. Dorsey's will is to be con-
tested, and steps have been already taken toward
that end.
NEW YouK, July lS-The Sun thinks that De
Les-eps and Wyse do not propose to undermine the
Munroe Doctrine. De Lesseps is moved by engineer
ing aud financial ideas, and not by schemes of State
craft With his experience OF great engineering
success, and still greater financial success, achieved
by his ocean level canal It Suez. De Lesseps must
insiinctisely have been prejudiced against the Ameri-
can projects, explained at Paris. except the Mica
ragua route. for they required locks. 1t is equally
clear that the modified Wyse plan Of ship canal
being very short and at tide level, must have ap-
pealed strongly TO the veteran engineers prejudices.
What is true of De Lesseps is true of a large body of
engineers. capitalists. constructors aud others. who
pin their faith TO n man who has already succeeded.
He aud they may he wrong, and American engineers
and capitalists may yet construct the Nicaragua
route. and practically demonstrate it TO be better
than De Lesseps'. But the point just now to be OBJ
served is that the French expert and his followers
were moved in the Paris Congress by his natural
p~rejudices and actual experience to do as they did,
rather than by political vaccinations or stealtby
enmiry to the Monroe Doc :rine.
MEMPHIS, July 19.-Another genuine stampede Of
citizens is in progress. The rush for railroad tickets
this afternoon, recalls the scenes of last Thursday
week, when five Thousand peorle left the city. The
desire is to go at once, and there was a jam on all
the trains leaving tonight. The officers of the
Hetrew Hospital Association, to-day, furnished a
hundred Jewish families with the necessary funds TO
obtain means of transportation to distant cities.
The city authorities are also sending all widows and
children out of the city. Three new cases were re-
ported to che Board of Health this afternoon
Charles Kesmodel, 81 Clay street. and his two chill
dren. These make the total number of new cases,
reported for to-day, seven. There are several sick
people in the neighborhOod Of Clay street, whose
cases are, to say the least, very suspicious. Bust
ness is paralyzed, and many retail merchants are
closing their stores. Fred. Eckers died this after
noon. Mrs. Robert Hester and Chief of Police
Athey's SON are both in a critical condition. g

that be expects to be at Ululundi to-day.
The tusk messengers were sent back on the 2Stb,
with a message to King Ceteywayo that the cattle
would be detained a few days pending events. and
that Lord Chelmsford would delay the crossing of
the UmvOlosi one day, and consent to accept the

Three great columns of Zulus were seen to leave
Ululundi and occupy the bush between that place

march on Ululundi was therefore abandoned. We
stand fast to-day, hoping the Zulas will attack US in
our position. Gen. Wolseley has sent an officer here
