some places amounting: to a cyclone, extended 
from about Goldsboro, North Carolina, through 
Va., West Va., Ohio, Pa., New York, and parts of 
Ontario, Canada. Many of the rivers throughout 
this vast region rose with extraordinary rapidity, 
flooding the surrounding country, and causing a 
great loss ol all kinds of farm property, mills and 
stock. In many places the railroad bed was 
washed out, and consequently several railroad 
accidents have happened, delaying travel and 
causing a number of deaths. 
Gen. Badeau, Grant’s biographer and friend 
was, somo months since, strlokeu from the army 
list, during a spasmodic tit of civil Service Re¬ 
form, on the ground that, being consul-general 
at London, he could not hold two oftlees at the 
same time. lie lias Just been restored to the re¬ 
tired list, however, whereat many independent 
republicans, whoso Independence consists In 
opposition to Grant, are disposed to howl; nor Is 
It pleasing to them them that Moshy, another ad¬ 
herent of the ex-Presldent, should have been ap¬ 
pointed to a consulship In China, or that Long- 
street, a friend and connection of his by marriage, 
should be appointed revenue agent in Georgia 
and Florida. 
The Increase In the export of live stock from 
the United states to England In the year ending 
June so was 30,300 head of cattle, and 4,000 head 
of sheep. The actual numbers exported were 
80,040 cattle and 183,995 sheep. In addition there¬ 
to, 54 , 000,000 pounds of beef went over, an increase 
of 5,000,000 pounds. 
FOREIGN, 
Tbe German Reichstag has been opened, and 
the emperor's speech urges the adoption of strong 
measures ror suppressing the pernicious doctrines 
of socialism. The Liberals are displeased at the 
tone of the speech and still more at the stringent 
laws introduced to carry Its suggestion Into efTect. 
The government la In a very decided minority In 
the new Reichstag, and Its forces combined can¬ 
not carry any measure to which the Liberals are 
opposed, without the aid of the Ultramontanes. 
This Bismarck cannot get at present, as the 
trouble with the Pope has not yet been removed, 
each party strenuously trying to get the best of

the death of Nobcllng, the other would-be regi¬ 
cide. lie died last Tuesday, from the effects of 
the wounds ho Inflicted on himself Immediately 
after he shot the emperor. Now the social¬

of bis Illness Implicate any accomplice. 
The heavy loan the Russian government lately 
threw oil the money market Is reported to be a 
failure. The lmpotency of Austria against, Bos¬ 
nia, having shown Russia that she had tittle to 
fear from that quarter In her quarrel with Tur¬ 
key, Count Sohouvaloff, win# was the chief agent 
In bringing about the congress of Berlin by ex¬ 
aggerating to the Czar the danger of an Anglo- 
Austrlan alliance, has fallen Into disfavor, been 
released from olllce at his own request, and will 
devote his time and talents to the settlement or 
the Bessarabian and Hobrudscha question. Uou- 
manla hesitates about occupying the tatter terri¬ 
tory, as the Inhabitants are reported to be In¬ 
tensely hostile to such a measure, and with the 
example of Austria’s dllfloultloa In Bosnia, before 
her eyes, the petty kingdom is afraid to risk a 
similar resistance. There has been a kind of 
Nihilist rebellion at Odessa In the Crimea, and 
after Its suppression stringent laws against that 
party have been promulgated throughout the 
Empire. The present emperor, soma years ago, 
introduced trial by Jury in nearly every case, 
but owing to late political disturbances, all 
political oCtonccs In future will be excluded from 
such a mode of trial and be decided exclusively by 
the Judges appointed by government. 
The English And Cyprus a very unhealthy spot, 
SOT of their 9,640 troops there being already in 
hospital on account, of fever. On Wednesday last 
a terrible explosion of coal gas occurred In the 
Elbow Vale colliery In MonmouthBhlre, Wales, 
killing 281 miners out of the 371 In the mine at the 
time. Already 632 bodies have been recovered 
from the wreck of the excursion steamer Princess 
Alice which was sunk In the Thames last week. 
Such fearful losses of Ufe occurring so close to¬ 
gether, have Justly produced a widespread sensa¬ 
tion. Advices received this morning say that a 
new treaty has been made with Turkey, by 
which Great Britain assumes a protectorate over 
Egypt, with the consent of France, who will Join 
her In trying to sot to rights the muddled finances 
of that country. 
Germany has sent a circular to the Powers 
that sigued the Berlin treaty, urging them to 
press Turkey to fulfill the terms of the treaty at 
once. All have agreed to do so nut England and 
Italy. Greece Is still clamoring for more terri¬ 
tory. All the powers, except, England, are will¬ 
ing to bring pressure to bear on Turkey so as to 
compel her to accede to the demauds of the petty 
kingdom, hut In the absence or England’s con¬ 
sent, nothing is lnreiy to be done lor some time 
at least. When urged lo set about making the 
promised reforms In Asia Minor, the Porte Insists 
that money Is needed to undertake the task, and 
no money 1s now In tho treasury. Kn land has

have taken refuge In the mountain fastnesses, 
whence he will keep up the unequal contest, 
while others have joined the Bosnians who are 
resolutely holding out. The campaign for the 
present season will be over In from three to four 
wooks more, and It, is highly improbable that the 
occupation will be completed in that time. Some 
deadly lighting takes place every day, and by 
this time the number of dead on both sides equals 
that in a couple of severo pitched battles, tbe 
Austrians having sunered a loss or upwards of 
3,000 In a recent engagement. Their numbers In 
the field now are estimated at upwards of 200,000 
men, while the detached bands of Bosnians and 
their allleB from Albania] and other sources, are 
computed at upwards of half that number. The 
country, however, being extremely mountanlous 
and thoroughly known to them, affords them ad¬ 
mirable opportunities for defence. Moreover, 
owing to tbelr guerrilla system of warfare, a 
large force Is required to keep open the Austrian 
lines of communication. Russia Is s-itd to be ure- 
lng Austria to annex Instead of occupying the 
rebellious provinces, but for the present, Austria 
modestly declines doing so. Herman.

Beans and Peas.—a few struggling lots of new 
beans have appeared, quality showing hurry to send 
lu Ural receipts. They have suit! above quotations

by the general trade. An Instance of ridiculous

steady. Marrows are weak, though there lois been 
a good export purchase. P«a beans and while kid¬
