I left Jackson Hill early Friday morning ou "foot-back" and "wended my weary way" to Stokes ferry, near which the four counties, Davidson, Rowan, Stanly and Montgomery corner atl an imaginary stake in the middle of the romantic Yad- kiu. This is said to be the best ferry iir all this region. The waters at this point seem to have resolved themselves into "a committee of the whole" and have formed a most magiiitk-ent lake oue oriwo miles long, in order to take u short period of repose' preparatory to tmniug themselves loose in that rugged raviiie which forms : leem advisable. They also stipulate! the boundary line between Montgomery I that t,H Kheilive was not under any cir nud Stanly, couuties.

At this point the j Yadkin Falls Manufacturing Comivanv ' have mills that turn out considerable ! quantities of flour, meal and lumber of! various kinds.

A flourishing mixed school, presided over bythat indefatigable educator. Prof. O. C. Hamilton, assisted by Miss Henrietta M. McAllister, the belle of Milledgeville. Just below Nashville, may be seen a se ries of ledges or natural dams, which precipitate the greater volume of water against the western or Stanly side aud liiakes a spleudid water power of easy access. The eastern or Montgomery side is a cliff of building slate. Theriverhere is very wide and shallow. Beaver Dam creek, so justly celebrated for its mines of gold, flows into the Yadkin at right an gles, about a mile below Nashville. For a mile or more, the bed of this stream is lower; than the river, which; causes dead water from two to sixteen feet deep. May not the bed of this lake or dead water be rich iu gold T , Could it not be worked by building series1 of coffer dam, cutting a canal and bringing into requi sition steam pumps f Froth the mouth of Beaver Dam to the islands, about a mile distant, the water flows down an easy grade.

The Government is collecting money through out the provinces, nsiug every means of compalsion. An immediate levy of 10, 000 soldiers has been ordered. A special envoy has been sent by the Khedive to Constantinople. He took with him a large sum of money for the Sultan. The Khedive's opposition to England aufl Frauce appear to have been well timed.

The Sultan is ready to oblige England so far as to detx.se the Khedive but it is supposed that the latter would resist this decree, and nrobablv dnlnr., . s -... England and France have recom HM'tn force, the Khedive may act as he sees fit ; and as ueither nation is disnosed toiinenk first, war seems out of the question. The Khedive is now in his 49th vear and there ar&reasons to believe that he has for some time entertained the ambi- ft ion of throwing aside, to a certain exteut, i his subserviency to the Sultan and be- coming an inUepeudent monarch. He has an army at his disposal, consisting of 4 reciments of infantrv. numbering I2.0nn men; a battallion of chasseurs 1,000 strong ; 3,500 cavalry ; an excellent artil lery servie'e with 1,500 men and 2 battal ions of engineers, which consist of 1,500 rank aud file.: Beside thse there are 2 regiments of black troops from Soudan 10,000 strong. His navy consists of 7 ships of the line, G frigates, 9 corvettes, 7 brigs, 13 guuboats and 27 wooden trans port ships. The financial scheme proposed by the Khedive, and which is the bone of con tention between himself and the French and English bondholders, is based on the belief that, without at all increasing the taxes of the agricultural ch.sses in Egypt, and by compelling the foreigu residents of Egypt, now exempt from taxation, to bear their due proportion of the public burdens, a sum sufficient to pay the in terest upon the bonded debt, aud provide a sinking fund which iu twenty years would extinguish the debt, can easily be raised. The conflict of opinion in polit ical aud financial circles here respecting this matter is becoming more acute ; and although the bondholders have thus far to a great extent obtained the public ear, the other side of the question has its ad vocates, who will probably make them selves heard in Parliament on its re-assembling after the Easter recess. A Bad Day For Jadgre Russell. Charlotte Otoaerrer. For the first time since the beginning of tho session, Mr. Russell, representing the third district of North Caroliua, rot e iu his place in the House; of Represent atives, last Tuesday, J and made a fsw scattering remarks. It was Mr. Russell's first experience in the arena of national politics, and we grieve to relate that he was sat down upon, summarily aud vi-. were the equals of the gAtleman from WiBctmaiui or f any other ecntlrmin on me iiMr. appiause on the uepnbiican SlUe.j l he Nev Yoik Sun, however, gives a ui5ich more-en tei taming sketch than this ; n fact, gives a very entertaining sketch iuUeed; si inuch so that we copyjfrom the aS'aa'f YaiiingtoH letter as follows : Dauiel Ii. Russe.l, a new Republium member from North Carolina, made an amusing speech. He tucked up his coat sleeves, brandished a pair of brawny fists, and acted ds though he wauted to fight any man who insinuated that there were not plenty of loyal Union men in the war. He talked about the glorious Uniou and the boys in; blue. , Gen. Bragg then said that he wanted the Southern claims commission abolished to pre veut the government from payiug debts that it had uo busiuess to pay, aud to prevent j the ; Republicans from using the cry of rebel claims as a nrelude to j. ' interesting campaign "documents. He ealll n.M..j thii the front aiid face the music. They had secreted themselves behind the cloak of loyalty long enough. If the gentlemau lioiu North Carolina (Mr. Russell) was loyal he would like to know when. Rus sell had served in the Confederate army, was a member of the Confederate Legis lature, and after the war ended had be come a Republican. He had been electeO a judge by the Republicans of N. C, not withstanding he had never been grad uated from a law office. This attack ujhju Russell, every word of which is true, was gtjeeted with roars of applause. An account of the debate is also tele graphed from Washington to the Rich mond Dispatch As this is substantially, however, the same as the above, we copy only a sentence or two from it : Mr. Russell, Republican, of North Car olina, weut into ft highfaluteu defence of the Uuiou men of the South, when Gen. Ward, of Ohio, asked him if he proposed to pay for the property which he, as a Confederate! soldier, helped to destroy, and he replied, f Yes ; I was iu the Con federate army, aud I have no apology to make for it, either." The Republicans, who had been applauding, seemed to have suddenly swallowed something sour. The whole tenor of the above dis patches goes to show that the older mem bers took an unfair advantage of Mr. Russell's 3outh and hide scretiou, and got him dowli and stuck their fingers in his eyes. This was not only very bad on MrJ Russell, but his awkward position mortifies his North Caroliua admirers ; and eveu this is iiot'the worst of it, but in the heat j of the debate, and being pressed closely, he reiterated his old Con federate sentiments, thereby shocking and scandal(zing his brother Republicans on the floor.; In every point of view it was a most unfortunate day for Mr. Russell. If, to. quote the Irishman, "he can never opeu his mouth without putting his foot in it," he had best j come home and dot-tor his horses and mules, all of which are down with the. epizootic. THE ARMY IX THE SENATE. SPEECHES BT BLAINE, WITHERS AKD ; . MTAl.l.A'CE. ! i The Oreenhackers Defrauded of Their Morn ing Hour in the House A Resolution Against) General Legislation De- feated. Washington j April 14. Senate. The Senate, after the usual morning business, resumed the! consideration of the army appropriation bill, and Blaine proceeded to address tlie Senate. He said the Democrats, instead of striking out the eight words offensive to them, viz: "Or to keep the peace at the polls," repeated the whole section of which those words were a part, aud then re euacted it, I thinking to get credit for originating it ; but this law was passed in time of war aud signed by Lincoln when he had a million men uuder his control and could have controlled elec tions without any such aid. The purpose of the law was to insure fairness in the elections, aud the Democrats now bear witness to its fitness for that purpose by tryiug to re-enact it. He derided the idea of military interference, and said there were only 2,797 soldiers east of Omaha, and ouly 1,155 in the Southeru States about 70 to every million people. The Democratic try of military desK tisni would ) injure the standlug of the country abroad, but a European would laugh at it if he knew there was only one soldier to every ; seven huudred square miles of territory iu the South. This was not the real issue. The ulterior purpose of the other side was to preveut the gen eral government from being represented by its civil officers at elections iu which it was specially interested, and over which the constitution gives it full con trol. He would not profess to know what the President would do when these bills eanie to him, but it seemed to him that the dead heroes of the Union would rise from their graves if he should cousent to be iutimidated and outraged in his pro per constitutional power by threats like these. The appropriate response from his lips would be, "Is thy servaut a dog that he should do this thing f" i Withers, of Virginia, said Blaine's re marks would not produce much effect ou either the Senate or the couutry. It was not a question to be decided whether there are soldriers enough to dominate control elections, but whether, under the operations ! of existing laws, it was not possible for the executive to distrib ute and use the soldiery so as to destroy the freedom of elections. It was not to confront a present danger but to remove from the present or any future President the temptation the existing law would offer to destroy the liberties ot toe coun try and erect on the ruina of the repub- lie a despotUm topported It arms. I He : rguen mat tn presence of troops at the polls was incompatible with free porprn- ment, and this was the principle ou which the pending bill was based. The Dem ocrats d id not propose to 6ha pe t hei r coo rse as to what may or may not be the posi tion of the President. He should not at tempt to take away a particle of the spi nal marrow attempted to be given to the President by the Senator from Maine. He would not interfere with any agency to infuse strength to his spiual cord. ! The debate was closed by Wallacefof Pennsylvania, who declared that the single issue in this bill is, shall the executive louger possess the power to place troops at the polls. Their presence is a menace upon the right of free elections. This right is fixed and certaiu. It comes to us from Englaud, and is part of our sys tem of laws. Its protection rests w'ith the States and the Federal government, has nothing to do with it. After an argument of considerable length the Senators closed bv saying that this legislation places a check on the military power in the interest of i he tteo- ple. We must restore the oriental unn- V.i"" w,,,c" n,ur .vt-s ot war have government: brin the mili tary to strict suUndinatiou to the civil Kwer ; permit a free system of laws, to be based upou free ballot, and expunge a standing menace upon tree institutions. Democratic Policy. Alexander H. Stephens still lives. He thus paragraphs the Democratic policy in a resolution submitted by him to the Democratic caucus : Resolved, That the aims and objects of the Democracy of the United States, as far as we, chosen by them as members of the preseut House of Representatives, are entitled to be considered as the true exponents of those aims aud objects, are directed with a singleness of purpose to the restoration of constitutional liberty, and with it the restoration of peace, harmony and prosperity throughout the length and breath of the laud. They abjure the renewal of sectional strife. They accept all the legitimate results of the lamented war. They are utterly op posed to the revival iu this country or auy part thereof of African slavery or auy other kind of slavery or involuntary servitude,, except as a punishment for crime. They stand pledged to maintain the uuion of the States under the consti tution with all its existing amendments as they shall be expounded by tlie Su preme Court of the United States.

The World's Fair at New York The project of a world's fair iu New York in ld&i is already so far advanced that there is little doubt the exhibition will be a credit to that city and the na tiou. The National Board of Trade has forwarded iuvitatious to the Governors aud Mayors throughout the couutry, in viting them to send commissioners to a greiitiatioual convention to be held on the 17 of Juuenext. Jt is evident that the fullest co-operation of all sectious of the country is to be sought to make the display, so far as the United States is coucerued, a maguiticent one. That a stimulus is given to industry by these graud international exhibitions is unde niable, aud it is said Philadelphia will not be backward in lending encourage ment to this enterprise.

They are in a most destitute condi tion. During thepast few days it has bee u impossible for them to procure any; place of abode. The churches and; public halls are filled. The ex posure to which these homeless immi grants are subjected-is great. Many areln a helpless condition -sick from exposure, wprn out and hungry -and marjiy arc dying.
