AN AWFUL DISASTER.

4 dispatch from Cape Town dated August 81
states: The Union mail steamer Teuton, with 200
souls on board, including passengers and crew,
has been wrecked near QuOin Point Only twenty
seven persons were saved in the steamers boats
The British corvette Dido has proceeded to the
scene of the wreck. The Teuton arrived at Cape
Town from England on Monday landed some and
embarked other passengers and proceeded on her
voyage to Algoa bay and other places. Quoin
Point is near AIgoa bay and is the scene OF a pre-
vious wreck of a Union mail steamer The YES
sci struck on a rock, but foated off, and was in
the act of putting back to port when she sank
A majority of those on board persisted. All
of the officers were drowned. Lloyd's CORE
spondent at Cape Town says three boats were
lowered, one of which foundered alongside the
steamer and the other two have arrived at ST.
monstown. containing twenty-three Of the crew
and four passengers. The Union Mail Steamship
the steamer Teuton have been saved The Teu-
tons boats which arrived at SimOnstOwn. lay on
their oars till daylight. Nothing was then to be
seen and it is feared that the third boat with ff-
steamer Danube goes in search of survivors. The
company hope that the loss OF life is not as great
as was at first estimated. About fifty passengers
for Knvsna were landed at Cape Town to proceed
to their destination in smaller steamer. This
reduces the loss OF life by forty-four.

WEED ON SHERMAN,

In a letter replying to an invitation from
"Priyate Dalzelln to attend the annual Ohio
Soldiers Reunion at Caldwell, September g.
Thurlow Weed says: Early in the rebellion
after Generals Lee Johnson and others had gone
into the secession army, we were greatly IN need
of capable and experienced officers. William
Tecumseh Sherman, whO after serving creditably
through the Florida and Mexican wars, had re-
signed was them in 1861, president of college in
Louisiana At my suggestion alone to President
Lincoln and to Secretary Stanton, he was invited
to exchange the college for the camp. Promptly
resigning his presidency to resume more con-
genial duties, Colonel Sherman soon rose to the
rank of Maior-General and after rendering gal
liant service at Vicksburg, Atlanta, etc, he
organized a formidable army, whose achieve
ments in marching hundreds of miles through
rebel States reached Richmond in season to
divide with Grant the glory of the capture. 1t
was bright day for the Union when General
Sherman assumed that command. There is
nothing in the history of NapOleon's campaigns
showing higher military qualities than the
triumphal march of General Sherman, cut off
from the possibilities of supplies and reinforce
ments, through the hostile States of Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Carolinas

ALONG FRENCH WAR IN AFRICA,

The Paris correspondent OF the London 1'mes
says: The elections were undoubtedly hurried III
the belief that LARGE reinforcementS would be
shortly sent to Africa and sooner are the elec-
tions over than preparations for the dispatch OF
troops 10 Africa are apparent III all dlrectonS
although. according TO the calculations of an oppo-
sition paper tfty-nne battalIons, each ooo strong
are already there being One-siXth OF the peace
effective Nobody disputes, however, the neces-
sity of these reinOrcementS. The Bey has lost
all authority over the tribes and his soldiers
Furopeans dare not stir out of the coast towns
and the cry of all official telegrams is for more
troops. 4 military newspaper asserts that the
ambuIances are crowded. Typhoid fever is rag
inc One battalion which was COS strong in July
is now reduced to 440. An equpage train has
fifteen dead and twenty five sick out of one hun
dred men, and the mortality in some regiments
is 14s out of 1000. 1t is evident that France will
have to subiugate Tunis inch by inch. Persons
acquainted with the country allow three years
for the operation II is certain that after four
months of occupation the French authority is now
at the lowest point. In Algeria also the prospect
is discouraging.
The Times correspondent at Tunis, who per-
sonally visited the scene of hostilities, shows
that General Correard was really compelled to
retreat because he was surrounded by Arabs and
feared that his whole party would be cut off, as
they were running short of ammunition Dur
ing the retreat General Correard was perpetually
attacked by swarms of Arabs who were fortu-
nately under no regular organization, or they
might have caused serious disaster. The other
French column, which is near ZaghOuan, is in a
critical position. as the Arabs, elated by their sue
cess against General COrreard, are surrounding it.
Even the road from Bizenta to Tunis is becoming
unsafe

ATMOSPaERICAL PHENOMENON,

The appearance Of the atmosphere throughout
Western Massachusetts till nearly O'Clock Sept.
g. was first of a reddish and then OF yellow hue:
and it gave blue tinge TO the grass, and in some
cases wholly changed the color of the flowers. 1t
was 50 dark that all places of business were
lighted, and some Of the public schools and large
manufacturing concerns were closed Gas burned
with blue light, and electric lamps had a still
more sulphurous appearance
The phenomenon is probably attributable to
the extensive forest fires which have been raging
in connection with the extremely dry weather
