Tho epidemic among the horses in New York appears to have occasioned serious alarm. The disease, tho symp? toms of whioh huvo been the same iu all oases, has not been coufined to any par? ticular condition of| the btozk, affecting all uliko. At first tho rnimals exhibit stupor land*great weakue ,s when seized on tho road, in somo cases reaching the stabler with difficulty. For a time they refuse all food, the eyes become swollen, and a copious disoharge of matter follows. Iu somo iustauces tho eyes become entirely closed. The Death of W. H. McOaw.?This community has rarely been Btortled by n more heart-rending accident than oc? curred, according to tho account we bare been able to gather, about 3 o'clock on thu moruiog of tho 18th instant. * * * * Everything that medical attendance, skill and the most loving care oould do, was done to relieve Iiis sufferings; and when the augel of a better and holier world laid its gentle huud upon his agony, ho arose in tho pride of his uusnlliud manhood and re? turned his bright life into tho hands of Him who giveih and taketh away. Mr. W. H. MoCaw was well knawn in this [city, and almost ns well known through? out, the State. With a powerful and cultivated intellect, with a warm and generous nuture, with a fearlc83 and chivulrio claractcr, be mude straight his paths before his fellow-mau. Impulsive and vigorous, yet brave and collected, MoCaw waa strong and energetic in oil things?strong in his likes; strong iu his dislikes; strong iu denouncing what ho believed to be wrong, and strong in sustaining what ho believod to bo right. It was our proviuco to differ with him, greatly differ with him, in many things, and to meet him honestly, squarely and gallantly in the generous rivalry of our profession. It was our privilege to feel that the sharp sentence that dashed ! from his pen, like the flash of the blade of Toledo, often lost its tempered edgo in the ready smile, the merry laugh and in the gentle expression and genius of an eye that never quailed in tho dis? charge or consequences of his duty. There is no man withont the fault of human nature; but whatever his faults, he wore the honor of his gallant and promising youth liko a diamoud on his bosom, and oarried iu his band, oven unto death, the love and admiration of a host of friends, among whom ho was ft tower of strength, and the respeot even of those who stood opposed to him in the struggle of life. Over his untimely grave, the Union-Herald claims the right to place its wreath of immortelles, as an bumble tribute to his departed worth. Bealus virquitimet Dominum. I Union-Herald. Another War in Africa.?A cable despatch special to the Herald gives us to understand thut the Egyptian She dive is finding some opposition to bis government in what is commonly called the upper country. The Sultan,of Dar foor recently invaded the territory of the Kuedivr, nenr the Bahr-el-Guzel, his object being to capture slaves. Tho Egyptian Governor. Zehia Bey, gave battle. The army of the Sultan of Dar four was 10,000 strong. The battle was keen, und lasted six hours. Thu Egyp? tian army was completely successful. The Darfoor army was routed, four guns were captured.and the Vizier and many chiefs were among the slain. It is gratifying to Und that the Khedive is earnestly bent upon putting do\ru the slave trade. Egypt begins to give pro? mise of becoming a great power in Cen? tral Africa. A succession of rulers liko Ismail Pacha will restore empire to the banks of the Nile. England has another small war on ber bauds, or might have had, or will have, for wo hardly know how it is. Tho chief of the Kossobs, another Afri? can tribe, has burned a British town and oarried British subjects into slavery; upon which facts coming to tho ears of Gladstone s Governuioui,, iuej ?I uuuo determined to take pr >mpt uctiou to punish the savage, und to organize an expedition aguiust him. Bearding the Lion.?M. Tentseh is a delegate from Alsace to the North Ger? man Reichstag, und, though ho has a queer name for a Frcuchmuu, ho is cvi dently full of the sentiment of Alsatiau indignation, and has taken tho first op? portunity to express it boldly at Berlin, which is much more mauly thun doing it on tho Boulevard iu Paris. i Somo of tho New York papers think that coffee will soon bo selling at sixty cents per pound.
