ftlilnitiujfoit founuil WILMINGTON, N. C. FRIDAY, JULY 17. 1874. Letter from Esrypt. Caieo, June 1th 1874. Dear Jotr"al : My last letter brought the narrative of my journey to my arrival at Korosco, after crossing the dreary desert be tween that place and Abou-l-amed. Prom Koroaeo, the whole character of the journey was completely changed. No more camel riding on the sandy plains with the broiling nun retiring down upon tis and the mirage beguil ing us with it3 fantastic visions. No more halts under the vertical sun of noonday, either on the bare plain or in the cool caves of the rocks. No more canvas roof over us at rigli, with the Etars peeping curiously through the many holes produced by hard usage, and no more waking up long before dawn by fhe musket shot of the senti nel, the cries of camel drivers and the roarings of the camels. Our trip wa now continued by dahabealis floating lazily down the placid Kile. To begin, lot mo explain what is a dahabcah. It is something liko a canal boat, with a deck and a cabin aft. We had four to take down our party from llorosko to the first cataract, whero wo had to change. The one which carried the o ulcers and our attendants was about owe hundred feet loug and contained peveral rooms. Tho boat we had below the last c.ita rack was still larger, Near the prow rises a stout mast which stands about t venty-fivo or thirty feet above the deck. Hwung obliquely to the top of this mant is the enormous yard, one hundred feet or more in length, to which is bent the lingo lateen s?ail, which, from the most remote antiqn ty, has been tho characteristic rigging of tho Mediterranean, tho lu d 8ea mid tho adjoining water;;. It is very picturesque. Many dahabealis carry another mast aft, much smaller and having a MiiaiT yard and sail A the Fame pattern. To see a dahabcah and especially a number of tln-m all sail ing with tightened canvass :i:der a spanking breezo up tho Nile, i-; a very beautiful sight and we enjoyed it of ten. In fact ruueh too rJ'ttii for our advantage, for the breez;"! which was so uniformly good for going up the Nile, way just tho revcrso for us who wanted to go down. As I mentioned in previous letters, the prevailing winds in this country are northerly, and in fact it would not be habitable otherwise. Tho few days that the southerly winds blow during the Kani seen season are almost intolerable. Wo wero traveling just in the Kamseen Reason, but the southerly wind blew only one day I believo while w v. t ie coming down the Kilo. We had there lore to pull down, and it v, as hard work for the crew, and a Ii;;v1 tii.i! for our patience; for so strong is the northerly wind and so gi. -it i;; the surface exposed to it by the didiabeah with their lofty j'oops and rubies, tlmt it is frequently impossible to row down at all. Frequently we h 'd to tie up to tho bank for eiplit and ten hours at a time, being un.iliie to move one foot even with the aid of tho era rent. To add variety to the naviga tion wo were frequently f-tuek on a Hand bank, when kII tho crew would jump overboard and shove and push for thxoo or four lion rs perhaps, be fore getting oil. This i.: It it dniieuiiy is peculiar to the low stagt of tin- Nile, from March till the beginnii.:' of June. The only power available n.r going down is that of oars. Tin' bank.-: are not adapted to towing and t he t hoi i . :. of shadoofs and sakeeahs cv.ipii -.--. ! f i- u rigatloll would obstruct Hie j;ts.-;n: of a tow ropo except at tiie iov.e.s water. We had ten rowers, each hand liiifr " - J-ot uaua oi iiiiree pieces of timber, and well balanced upon a boom projecting alonor the nmen ui uiu uo.ifc. x ianus lomung an inclined plane are laid down for the rowers to walk upon, and they move tho oars by walking up the plank about four steps, letting the our dip and walking back, pulling the same distance This they keep up for two. three and even four hours nt a time taking resting spells when they eome to places favorable for drifting. Their labor is enlivened by songs of a slo w, sad and monotonous rythm, which are not devoid of charm, especially at night, while the moon is beaming over the waters. One of the men sings a line, and the rest reply with a chorus. They have quite a variety of songs, but all of tho same general character! All Arab music is entirely devoid of harmony. No matter hew many sing ers or players on various instruments perform together, they all sing and play the air itself without any second, base, alto or any other part. This gives to their music a very harsh char acter, unpleasant to cultivated ears, but the Arabs are very fond of it and prefer it to European music. Yr.f il... Arabs can learn to nerform t'm lifter ered with hverorivphics, and preserv ing in many places tho rich colors with which they were originally adorn ed. They aro so many wonaenui ruins in Egypt that a description of all those that I have seen only would be tiresome to the reader. I intend to attempt but one description that of tho grandest ruins of them ail those at Thebes, Luxor and Karnak. I will only say that I read on a blank wall of the inner pylon at Philrc, tho in scription left by tho Trench army in 1709, and which is given in Thier's history of the French rcvolation. IIow little I thought when reading it in that book in my youthful days that I should see its original on the stone where it was engraved. Translated into English it reads thus : "In the Gth year of the Republic, tho 13th Messidor, a French army, commanded by Bonaparte, landed at Alexandria. Twenty days later, the army having defeated the Memlooks at the Fvramids. JJesaix, commanding tho 1st division, pursued them beyond the cataracts, where he arrived on the 13th entose of tho year 7. Generals Davoust, Friant, Belliard. Donzelot, chief of staff," Arc. It is truly an historical pngo engrav ed upon that perrennial stone. What names and recollections it brings. The man who was then simply called ! Uonaparte, aud whose dynasty lias probably not yet nnisnea lis course. JJesaix, who was to lau at jVLarengo leading his troop3 to a victory which was to make Bonaparte an emperor. Davoust, tho futuro Marshal. Friant nd Donzelot, who fought their last fight at Waterloo. On an other panel is recorded the longitude and latitude of tho place as observed by the French Savans who accompan ied the expedition and whose names aro engraved below. On the propy lon are also engraved the names c f the chiefs of tho commission sent by Pope Gregory XVI. in 1811. These incriptions are all ajipropri ate and were placed on blank spaces, lint what must we think of the stu pidity of those numberless travelers who havo disfigured ancient sculptures and effaced valuablo hieroglyphics to inform the world that Smith, or Jones or Snooks passed that way. Thou sands upon thousands of unknown people havo defaced barbarously the ancient monuments all over Egypt by inscribing their obscuro names. The mania seems almost universal. It would seem that it is only those whose names were worth recording who have abstained from this absnrd vaddalism. ():i the bare rocks of tho desert the practice is at least harmless, aud we were only amused, not disgusted, as in the temples, at seeingthe thousands of names of every language and na tionality on t he sandstone cliffs and caver, near Korosko. We did not add ours there, but for thebenelit of future English and American travelers we lo!t on the face of the rock the follow ing inscriptions: "Try Cockle's Pills," "Htlmbold's Ihichu," "Spalding's glue," for -which gratuitous advertise ment mils well At the above mentioned individu- hould be eminently grateful as is the traveling public at large, i'hibe the river contracts between eliiVs of lyenitie granite to a breadth not over 75 yards. The rocks are blackened and polished by the waters and in many places are tieeplv carved the Ptolemies with the cartouches of and other kings. The name of car touche has been given by Egyptologists to the escutcheons bearing thehyerog lyphies of the kings of Egypt and w hich are all distinctive of the mon arch who-e reign they commemorate. It is these cartouches which have thrown so much light upon Egyptian history ami juitiquities. The forma tion from above I'hihe to below Asso uan is that spi eies of red granite called Syenitic from the name . f the ancient city Syene, now culled Assouan. This material was em- ioyed by the ancient Egyptians for ;eir obch.-ik., statues, sarcophagi, ttc. is remarkable for i f - -L. -w nm ib uAi retains. ()nc r f its most valuable properties is the immensity of the masses which can bo cut out solid without a crack from the quarries. The obelisks', some of which are near ly one hundred feet in height, aro all monoliths. In tho quarries near As souan, tho traveler can still sec tho places from v.hieh the immense stones were cut out, and understand the pro cess by which it was done. A line of holes was drilled along the surface of the block intended to be cut out, and at a proper instance lrom it3 face cage. tulles of drv woo.i Its total length is about 450 feet. The breadth of the .propylon, 250 feet, and the towers 115. A propylon is the great gate at the entrance of Egyptian temples. It consists of a lofty gate between two towers in the form of truncated pymmids, aud ris ing far above tho gate itself. In front of the propylon is an avenue of sphynxes, all facing each other in pairs. The whole presents r. most im posing appearance. J. no great court yard of the templo of Edfo:i with its magnificent colonade is very grand. In the inner temple is found an im mense shrine made of one block of granite of the finest polish. The usui 1 profusion of hieroglyphics is found in every part oi mis lempie, -witn a great variety of gods and goddesses, bear ing heads of animals, such as lions, rams.iackals, snakes, ibis, wolves.cacn being an emblem of some mysterious diety. The outer walls of the temple are covered with bas-relief represent ing scenes of Egyptian life, and as re markable for the freshness of the carv ing as for tho badness of tho drawing. It is really astonishing that a people, so advanced in architecture and other arts, should havo been such very bad draughtsmen, and their statues are as bad as their pictures. Among the scenes represented here aro numerous fishing and hunting sketches graven deep into the walls and utterly defiant of perspective and proportion. One of them which is very often repeated on the walls represents a hunter stand ing in a crescent shaped boat, not as long as the hunter is high. The water is represented by parallel curved lines. Tho hunter has just thrown his har poon and it has pierceda hippopotamus at the botom of the water, but the ani mal is just about the size of tho hun ter's hand, and in proportion, is more like a rat than a hippo though there can bo no doubt that he is intended for tholatter. The temple of Edfou is of Ptolemaic construction and dates back 250 years B. C. One of the most striking hyeroglyphics I saw in it is the Egyptian symbol of goodness. It consists of a heart surmounted by a cross with two horizontal bar3 instead of one, the higher being a little shorter than the lower. It resembles very much a Christian emblem, but there is no doubt of its being used by tho Egyptians centuries before the Christian era. Just opposite Edfou is a great steam pnmp, which serves to irrigate a vast biirface of land. The plain expands greatly on each side of the river, and from the top of the propylin of Edfou, to which wo ascended, the view is magnificent. Tho laud was covered with luxuriant crops of tobacco, cot ton, cane, dourah, Src., extending to the hills on each side. A great quan tity of cattle aud sheep were also to be seen in every direction, and tho ever present palm trees added their charm to the scenery. Close by the quarters of the engineer in charge of the pump is a most beautiful garden, abundantly watered, and containing a profusion of flowers, whose fragrance could be perceived far out on the river. Besides there were trees of many kinds, lemon, orange, pomegran ate, tig, palm, vines and even pear and apple trees, though tho climate is un favorable to tho hitter. In my next I will describe my visit to 1 lie bos, J mxor ami iuo torn is or me lossi of Memonn. Yours truly, Kir Karnak, and to gs and the Co- C. ! V or were eract h easily. very creditably. Tho military bands which play daily in tho garden of tho Esbekieh are composed of common soldiers, and I have been told that they learn in a very short time. These bauds play selections from tho best operas quite as well as anv European military bands, j have often heard theni play American furs, anion" others, Yankee Doodle and Dixie.

Alter we had been on the boats for some days it became some what tiresome. It is true wo were in tho shade all day, could sleep as lemm as we pleased, had plenty of delicious water, besides fresh bread.vegetables eggs, chickens, &c, all of which things don't grow on the desert. Put the prospect of six hundred miles of ihat kind of navigation made us a' most regret the droraadaries which were not obliged to tie up to a sand bank when the wind blew hard. Time and patience overcome all things. In three davs and a half, we got down to the first cartaract, passing on our way a number of ruined temples which would be considered wwnuermi if there were not others of greater magnitude, nnL sevzn in the morning, April 20th, we landed at Phila, above tho first cartaret.

Juttors: We propose, Mr. Editors, to account for the temper and spirit of the times, and especially the disiiosition to disre gard the interest of tho Public by at tacking for a moment those who have places of trust and power. The desire now to feed on the jmblic Treasury nas become a disease so great as to b. alarmincr. We .know M.r ul&uyt. ago, no one being Htricily honcat; that m iimes oi nign political excitement much is done extreme means are re sorted to secure positions of power and emolument, but would it not be more excusable, more commendable and honest for those who thirst for office" who will brook no defeat, to use their own private funds rather than tax a reluctant and suffering peo ple for this purpose ? Do not wisdom, J atriotism and common hon esty suggest the necessity of frugality nou- when the results of 1 miirfcr in dustry are selling for a mere nominal ame, turnout ?if,runr 7 i0 they not know that such indications from high places incline those in lower stations to tread in the same steps ? Do they not know that they must have cleau hands themselves who sit nt the helm of power, before they can compel those below them to be Jionrxt ? Now, Mr. Editor, we must make a revelation for which wo do not expect the kind and grateful remonibrar.cA of 1 volved in the matter which gave rise v uiuiiiuuitaiii)!!, ,Q UO not know by what reasons it has been brought about, but we do know it is a fact, and therefore will proceed to make it public. In this township, (and I understand there is an equal in crease in tho other townships, but they must speak for themselves, as Caswell is doing) there has been recently quite an addition made to the li3t of paupers and upon what grounds of justification, we propose to show, iirsfc, in the new arrangement wo find I eter Collin s name.

From tho editorial correspondence of the Charlotte Observer, written from Beaufort, we extract tho follow ing iiiorct itii of State history : Captain Durii3 was a native of O as low county. He came to Beaufort when a yonng man, and engaged in a sea-faring life, and became the Captain of a coast trader. When the war of 1812 broke out, he obtained from the U. S. Government letters of Marque and Reprisal, and put to sea in a fast sailing ship called the "Snap-Dragon," fully manned and equi.rped for practi cal warfare. The lleefcness of his ves sel, the skill and nautical knowledge which he displayed, and his boldness and daring, backed by a gallant crew, soon made the name of "Otway Burns" a terror to all Britishmen in American waters. He captured, or destroyed a large number of English vessels, and amassed a small fortune, with which he established himself in Beaufort. Many anecdotes are recited of him, which wo must, for lack of space, withhold. Ho brought large quanti ties of goods into Beaufort, and made the place, for a while, quite a trading centro for tho merchants of Eastern North Carolina, nis house was lo cated near tho beach, a little distance from the Atlantic Hotel. On the top of it Le had an observatory, from whence ho could command with a spy glass an extensive view of the ocean. Whenever he would discover a ship sailing under British colors, he would hurry to the "Snap Dragon," which he always kept in a state of readiness for sea coing, and put off' in pursuit of him. His vessel was so swift and his seamen so perfect, that it was almost impossible for a heavy laden mer chantman to escape him. He did so much damage to the car rying trade of England, that he British Council twice held a long con sultation with a view of devising some means of his capture. Finally they ordered tho construction of a fast sailing vessel, armed her thoroughly, and jmt her to sea under au experi enced naval officer. She met the gal lant tar-heel somewhere in South American waters, and by a smart Strat agem succeeded in capturing him aud all his crew without firing a gun. The Englishman sailed as a merchantman, her guns all concealed. She suffered the "Snai Dragon" to run alongside of her, aiter she hauled down her col ors, in token of surrender, and as Capt. Burns and his men started to board her, her guns were run ont, and the harmless "merchantman" sud denly became a terrible man-of-war, bristling with cannons and guns in tho hands of warriors. Burns was compelled to give in. He was released after tho return of peace. He lived poor all the rest of his days, a-id died in IS 10. He was a Mason. It is a wonder 1 1 icy have neglected him so. Burns was ashort, thick set, red faced man of a jovial disposition, and very fiery and pas sionate. Towards the end of his life he became very dissipated. He died while in command of a Light Ship. Governor Swain was very much in terested in old Burns and once deliv ered a lecture on him. I'.vnim W. Ftom the N.iUoiiiil KeimMu-.-in. lltut C'uiiictM huvc rrii'Miti.

A very remarkable cure of Dyspepsia by the water of the New Spring or Spring No. II, case of Miss M. E. F. Daniel : BCFFALO STRINOS, VA., July 3d, 1873. wit. uoodi ; Dear Sir: At jour request I make you a statement showing the benefit which I have derived from the water of Spring No. '2 at this place. In the Spring ot lt73 1 became the vie tim of Dyspepsia of a most painful and dis tressing character. Often my stomach eould not retain the lightest article of food or even cold water and everything taken into it occas ioned great uneasiness and at times severe pain. As was to be expected I suffered greatly from deputy, so much so tbat I was often con fined to my bed. I was at different times un der the treatment of two intelligent physicians but derived no benefit from their remedies. Home fix weeks ago while su tiering greatly, and as it seemed hopelessly, I learned f the beneficial effects ol Spring No. 2 in a similar case and determined to try it. I was scon con scious of decided improvement which contin ued until my painful symptoms disappeared, and I now eat and enjoy whatever I fancy wit out the slightest inconvenience.
