The American missionaries in Egypt.

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN;
Frequent mention has been made of American
missionaries in dispatches from Alexandria, and
the inquiry often occurs, who are these. and what
became Of them in the late massacre? Egypt has,
by common consent Of the churches, been left for
the last twenty-five years us a mission field for
the United Presbyterian Church of this country
She has twenty four American missionaries and
about one hundred and forty five native helper,
iu four principal stations-Al lexandria, Mons0urs
Cairo, and Asyout--and ffty. four out.stations
The twenty four Americans las foreigners) being
exposed to special dangers, were urged by the
natives and requested by Captain Bacheller, Of the
United States ship Galena, to go aboard that ves
sci with their families for safety. Alter remaining
some days all but Revs. Ewing, from Twins, Pa,
and Watson, from Wisconsin, sailed for other ports
Some will improve the opportunity TO visit their
old homes, but most Of them are in England and
Scotland, anxiously waiting the privilege of re-
turning to their work. OF the native Christian
pastors and the little 1ocks of converts supposed
TO be comparatively secure from Moslem wrath,
and the mission property, which was quite val
liable, nothing definite is known since the bonn
bardment To Captain Bacheller, of the United
States steamer Galena, the missionaries and the
entire United Presbyterian Church, feel deeply
grateful for special fayors in this emergency.
