Colonel M.-Egypt is tbainost corra y t

wealth and posion by harboring thb
virtue of their wives, and every official
bas h;s prioe. If you want the Khedive
to do, anything for you, there is a pasha
in th? room looking like a whipped dog.
If the Khedive says to the. posits, "See
that this is done, the fellow scoops up
the dust willi bia hands and touches his
forehead with it, and then says, "Thy
will is law." Bub once he gets on the
outside of. the door, the pasha straight?
ens out and says, **Dog| now dare yon
approach the Khedive without my per?
mission? You shall not havo any such
thing." And ho will not have the order
executed unless you bribe him, and will

If. Russia'were not*tho powerful and
aggressive- giant ?it is, and?Sweden the
weak and amiable dwarf among the na
tiona oft Northern Europe? there' would
be'danger'of a war, for the Czar of all
the Bussias hos arbitrarily, dfeiireed that
the Swedish colony at Spitzbergen must
be dissolved, our friend Alexander de?
claring that tho petty ? ig of Sweden
and Norway would not be permitted to
shelter the rugged whores of icy Spitz?
bergen. As the Czar -has already more
I frigid territory than his beloved subjects
oan occupy, it is difficult to guess why
he is jealous of poor little Sweden form?
ing a settlement in the inhospitable lati?
tude of Spitzbergen. Sorely the master
I of Russia cannot entertain farther de?
signs on the American purse and expect
to turn Spitzbergen into a few millions
of our gold, as he did Alaska. Much
aa wo value the friendship of the giant
of the North, we will purohase no more
of,bia polar possessions, and the wiser
plan for the autoorat would be not to
frighten away from Spitzbergen the
hardy Swedes and Norwegians, bub to
compel them to buy tho cold country
they Beem to covet.
Alaska mast be a Bad place, indeed,
when it does not offer any attractions
even to a rovenue offioer. The Collector
of Customs at Sitka, though he has,
since his appointment, drawn a salary
considerably greater than the amount ho
has collected, has finally given up his
place, in sheor despair of getting enough
pluudor out of the seals aud walrusses to
compensate for the disadvantages of
oxile. It is to bo boped that he will ti nd
sumo moro congenial receipt of customs
at whioh to sit, but as for Alaska, if
bfflco-holdors will not stay there, we can
scarcely expect aoy one else to do so;
for if a collector cannot make it pay,
what hope is there for ordinary emi?
grants?
COTTON AND CORN.-Tho indications
ure that the cotton crop will be twenty
five per cont, less this year than lost, and
the oom orop twenty-five pur cent, more
in the same States-say Texas, Louisia?
na, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia and Western Tennessee. What
is lost io the 1,000,COO bales or cotton
will bs made und moro in the inoreased
corn crop. The West will be mainly the
loser from this, and by-and-by find re?
lief, if it is wise, in a freer trade than
.the Government now permits. When it
ia remembered how often tho Sontb has
paid from $1.50 to $2 a bushol for corn,
it will'soon bu reconciled to los/Toottou.

HOMICIDE IN MARION.-Ou Saturday
lust, says the Baleigb (N. C.) Sentinel,
about 3. o'clock.P. .M., V?. H. Dover,
deputy re von no- coileotort shot and
killed Joseph A. Thompson, of Muc
Dowel County. Thompson was a dis?
tiller, against whom Dover had taxes to
collect under tbe internal revenue law of
th? - United Sta ton. Thompson's land
bad t>eeu advertised for sale on this day,
and Dover went to the court house door,
aUd began to make proclamation of salo,
when Thompson began to advance
rapidly, drawing a pistol at th? same
time, and when within ten steps of
Dever be (Dover) shot cud killod Thomp?
son. The ball entered near tho centre
of his breast, killing him instantly.
Dever bred the second time after Thomp?
son bad fallen, tho ball . entering tho
arm.1 Thompson wes B leading and io- j
flaential Radical of the Couutr, and was
heard to say ia tbe Carly part of the day
that hi? "own party had turned against

them.",' Ho was ii curd to say that ovory
time ho went'.to settle with tho internal
revenue officers their alai m increased;
tbut he bad been badly swindled; that
he would hazard his life father tbun

j MURDEH AND RETRUJOTION.-We are
informed by gentlemen from Albany,
that on Monday lost a Mr. Rush, tho
overseer on Mr. Ben. H. Hill's Mud
Greek plantation, had a difficulty with a
negro employed op the place, in which
tb? tf?gro attempted to strike Rash with
a singletree, and Rush shot at him but
' without effect. Tho negro then left, and
on Tuesday returned with a double-bar
: rel shot-gun, and approaching Rush
when in the field, remarked to him: "I
am now armed and on an equnl footing
1 with you." Rush replied, "all right;"
and when in the act of leaping from his
horse the negro shothim in tho side with
a load of buck-shot. Hush fell from his
horse mortally wounded and the negro
run. The negroes in the field, who bad
witnessed tho affair, immediately started
to a neighboring plantation for a ductor,
and on the way tboy found the negro
who bad shot Rush lying dead in the
road, with the top of his bead blown off
and ids gun by his side. It is supposed
that he accidentally discharged thq other
barrel of bis gun and killed himself, or,
thinking that be was being pursued aud
would bu caught and punished, stopped
in tho road aud blew bia own lmfid off.
