THE WHITE FLAG AT ALEXANDRIA,
How the Egyptians Met tie Fire OF the
Britieh Guna.

LONDON, July IL.
The Sdndard's correspondent on board
the Inyinciblo telegraphs: The forte and
batteries on the sea face are heap Of
ruins. The Egyptians stuck to their guns
until the forts were c-umbling. The aim
OF the Egyptian gunners was chiefly
| directed against the Penelope and the
lnfexible, and they fred principally
round shot. Their elevat;cn was bad.
The Invincible was seldom hit. The
armor Of the Superb was penetrated.
The Egyptian officers act good example
to their men, often jumping upon the
parapets to see the effects Of their fire.
a party of marines, which landed from
the 1nvincible to blow up Fort Mex, saw
several dead lying inside the forts. The
Egyptians had no shells, which fact &C.
counts for the small number of casualties
on the British vessels. A dispatch from
suez says no merchant vessels have en-.
tered the canal during tho last forty eight
hours. All the ships, including the In.
dlan mail steamers, remain In the road
stead. The whole European population
is afoat. The British consul, in pursu.
ance of Admiral Seymour's instructions,
has hauled down his flag and gone aboard
a gunboat.
A correspondent of tho 7Tmes, on the
lielicon, telegraphirg at 10 O'Clock this
morning, says: The Mex forts appear to
ba entirely deserted. The weather il
cloudy and the wind has risen, causing
the ahips to roll. The bodies Of those
killed in the action o. yesterday were
buried at sea to-day. There are now
about fifty vessels, including the men of.
war, anchored of the breakwater. If the
wind rises much smaller ones must weigh
anchor. 1t has been impossible go far 10
communicate with the shore. Itis likely
that the European quarters have been
seriously damaged. Several shells from
the Infexible wore seen to burst imme.

pERSTASIFENESS OF THE
MUSKET.

Gen. Steadman tells a good story
which is applicable to the manner
in which the aristOcratic Sixtieth
Rifles recently skipped out in front
of Ramleh aud gave everything up
to the Egyptians. While Eear
Nashville the General had u negro
regiment on the pickle, line, and Il
bright Young mulat;o sergeant in
command OF a post got the drop OF
Il rebel post and captured the whole
outfit. The rebels were a crowd of
high stepping young Virginians,
and some of them we're badly
wrought up by the idea Of having
to surrender to a slot Of niggers."
Gen. Steadman took their m
der, II fine young fellow into his
tent, extended some little coCite
sizes to him, and in the course of
the conversation said cit was a
little tough, Lieutenant, to be tax
eli in by colOred soldiers, but war
has strange experiences" "Well,
General" said the other, sitting
down his glass, "I've been in the
army DOW nearly four years; and II
I've 'rarncs! anything it has been
a profound respect tor the musket.
When the muzz!e is showed into
my face I don't usually ask any
questions a> to who's got hold Of
the breech."

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

useful lands that have been aOahd
o., ed to the dominion of the Aliiga
tor and Garfisl. These lands, sub
merged perpetual'y. are an obstrnc
ton to the proper drainage OF 9th
er thousands of acres that are un
der cultivation.
Year by year, the area OF high
arabic lands becomes diminished
as the natural outlets of the water
into the Bays aud Lakes, through
which it is transported into the
Gulf of Mexico, become more and
more INSTRUCTED.
Nature originally in forming the
allurial lands, traced Bayoas and
outlets sufficient for the transporta
ton of all water that might fall up
on the soil and seek an escape TO
tide water. Were these streams,
thus traced out by the Power that
formed the soil, le opened, swamps
and marshes would disappear, and
the soil, redeemed from its inunda
ted condition become arabic, and
unher proper cultivation return
the agricultural toiler q itch re-
ward for his industry and labor.
That so much valuable soil in
which exists great wealth, and
whose cultivation would have rem
dered happy and prosperous so
many laboring people, and increas
ed the financial power OF the Par
ISL so largely, should have been
thus strangely neglected, furnishes
a theme of much unfavorable com
ment on TIE energy, progress, aud
enterprise Of the citizens Of latour-
che.
The war left the people of this
Parish poor, Neither agricultural
Improvements, nor mules, neither
wagons nor machinery, neither cat
tie nor cabins were to be found.
Empty houses, stripped of every ar
ticle Of valuable furniture, naked
lands, without fences, o. bitches,
were about all that was left in 1865
as all Inheritance TO the people Of Il
Parish that four years previous
counted its wealth by millions OF
dollars.
This was followed by Il swarm of
plundele,s and adventurers, worse
than plaques and pestilences that
worried Pharoah in Egypt 5000
years ago.
A day Of deliverauce at last
came. y new era was opened, and
the future became bright and clear.
To day the people Of this Parish
no longer al he designated as
poor and impoverished. From one
end of the Parish to the other, the
evidence, if not of luxurious wealth,
at least, of comfort and prosperity
is visible.
Nice and commodlous residences
are being erected, school houses
aud churches are being built, homes
are rendered pleasant by handsome

fine horses and carriages are seen
daily, everything indicating pros

people whose interests arc involved

whose interests arc involved
in its success.
The constitution fixes the limit Of
parochial taxation at ten mills Oh
the dollar of assessment.
1t allows the people interested in
any public improvement the power
to say, by a public vote, that they
will tax themselves for means to
carry on any public improvement.
But this privilege il limited to
Parishes, Municipalities and Corpo
rations.
Now, if any portion OF this Par
ish desires TO undertake any public
work, DO matter how great the utili
ty OF said undertaking may be to
them, the remainder of the Parish,
having no interest therein, would
never yote,their taxes away, so that
no part OF IIafourche ever could
raise funds in the manner laid
down in the Constitution. For in
stance: suppose the tax payers re
siding between the lower line of
Ridgefie.d plantation and the Par
ish line on the West Bank desired
to tax themselves to clean out Ger
tain Bayous that would drain the
swamps in rear of their plantations
and give the water free access into
Lake Verret, although every tax
payer in that District might vote
for il, the otner voters i'll the Parish
would vote it down. because they
have no personal interest therein.
And SO of any section of the Par
ish.
Now, there are many residents in
that District that desire to tax
themselves for that purpose, the
people living below the upper line
Of the Acadia, west bank Of Lafour
che desire the same thing for their
section, many proprietors on the
east bank, between the Assump-
ton line and Raceland wish the
same thing, and also the land own
ers below Raceland, east bank
have the same desires.
But owing to the stupidity of the
clause in the constitution nothing
can be effected by its authorization.
Is there a:e any other remedy APP
plicable to this great enterprise of
redeeming the swamp lands in LA
f%ourclie?
We think there is. The Parish
tax as assessed in 1882 is six mills.
Six or seven mills annually can
run the Parish very we'll and give
nearly one half of it to the Public
schools.
The Parish is limited to ten mills
beyond which it cannot go, for any
purpose.
The Police Jury may set apart,
when establishing the budget of
1888 a sum of 100000 for public
Improvements. A tax OF two mills
will produce that amount net.
The Parish a be divided into
five or six drainage districts and
the taxes collected in each District
set apart for the use of that section
in which they Ire collected.
A board of commissioners in
each District can be named by the
tax payers in some satisfactory
manner who shall handle its funds,
determine what works shall be
done, make the necessary contracts
for the same, receive the work
done, and draft on tho Treasury
for the payment thereof. The Pan
lsh Treasurer can hold the funds
collected for each district and pay
them out without any additional
expense.
Once this tax is laid and place.
