Masor Morerts’ Battery of Garrison Artil- lery paraded. yesterday at Fort Edward, under command of Capt. James D. Irving, for in- spection by the Deputy Adjutant General and the Inspecting Uftficer of Artillery for the Maritime Provinces, ‘The laspecting Officers were received with presented arms, after which the Deputy Adjutant General proceed- ed to inspect the ciothing, arms and ac- ecoutrements of the Battery, making a close ard persenal inspection of each man. He ex- pressed himself satistied with the result. The Battery were then thrown into celumns to the right, and marched past in quick and double tinfe. This was done in excellent style, the saarching being almost as steady as regulars. The Battery were then extended for attack, epened fire, and went through the various manoeuvres required «nm repelling a supposcd attack, The manner in which this was done showed an intelligent knowledge of what weuld be required should they be called upon to take the held. The Deputy Adjutant Gen- eral then ad:iressed the parade, and expressed himself highly pleased with the general efficiency of the Battery. Three detachments were then told off, and were marched to the yuns, and were there inspected by Lieut.- Col, Lewis, Inspector of Artillery for the Maritime Provinces. Here the Battery were perfectly at home, and the smart and work- manlike mauner with which the detachmeats handled their guns, elicited much praise from the Inspecting Uflicer. It is pleasing to report a fact so creditable to the officers and men of this favorite Battery. Attention to drill is

the secret of their success. ee LPL TS SS TS

Such sharp lightning was never er very seldem seen here.

KUROPEAN, Lonpon, July 29.

lt is reported that the Government has decided to send ont reinfotcements to

to that effect. The authorities at the Horse Guards, Admiralty, Treasury and india Office were in constant consultation last night, arranging details in regard to the despatch of reinforcements.

The Post urges that Sir Garnet Wolseley be sent to Afghanistan to take chief com- mand.

A Dublin despatch says :—‘t News of the disaster in Afghanistan has caused the deepest sorrow and consternation here.’’

The news caused great excitement if the Commons. The Marquis of Hartington is expected to make a further statement to- day.

The Standard says: ‘‘ One distinct and tixed point is our supremacy and must be signally and ellectively vindicated, and the crushing disaster avenged in sight of Af- ghanistan and India.”

lt is net known whether General Bur- rows is saved. The Queen was immedi- ately telegraphed to on receipt of the news, and all the ministers had an informal con- ference.

The fase of attack is not given, but mil- itary authorities believe it took place en Saturday or Sunday.

The Times says the disaster has depress- ed Eastern exchanges and weakened In- dian securities, besides causing a gloomy feeling generally.

Troops now under orders for Bombay are the 38th regiment, Ist battalion of 23rd regiment, and King’s dragoon guards from Cape of Good Hepes. The Indian troopship Euphrates was to leave for Bembay in August. The Molabar and Jumma were to leave in September, and Serapis and Crocodile in Uctober. Two of these ves- sels can be ready in one week.

News of disaster was brought to Canda- har by thirty Indian horsemen, who had ridden for their lives. Government has decided to despatch reinforcements.

A despatch from Simla says : ‘*Primrose’s last message stated that report of disaster was exaggerated, but the loss was severe. teinforcemenis were already on way when defeat occurred. Gens. Sandeman and Phayre are marching on Candahar.

A despatch from Bombay says: ‘‘Mind is yreatly excited by the Candahar disaster. Natives think the Russians assisted Ayoob Khan and led his troops. Last telegram from Caudahar stated that all discipline in Barrows’ command had disappeared, and a diserderly crewd of officers and soldiers was pouring into Candahar.”

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 29.

Famine in Armenia is spreading. Tewn reports from Basuteland are more satisfactory.

W hatever the Sultan’srepresentatives are, he is continuing military preparations, and afforts are being made to obtain a small ad- vance from Galata bankers on security of next year’s tithes.

Vienna, July 29.

The’ Powers are fully determined to carry out to the last extremity the decisions of the Berlin conference.

UNITED STATES. Denver, July 29. Advices from Mexico state that on the 21st, Col. Valles, with 520 Mexican sol- diers, attacked Apaches under Victoria, forty miles from Old Fort Quittman. The Mexicans lost three killed and ten horses. Indians lost four warriors and six horses. On the 26th the Mexicans again attacked the Indians in Pine Mountain, fifty miles from the line. After a long fight the In- dians retired; their less 1s net knewn ; the Mexicans lost six killed. The Mexicans are pursuing. Col. Grierson and eight com- panies of the tenth cavalry, stationed within forty miles of their crossing, will, doubtless, be on their trail within a few hours aftey they cross. MILWAUKEE, July 29, A violent hail storm passed over here in the vicinity ef Stevens’ Point, Wis., on Monday, covering the ground to the depth of several inches with hail stones of great size, killing fowls, prairie chickens aud sheep. Hundreds of farms are cleaned en- tirely of hay and grain. Hops and forests were left bare. The storm covered feur miles wide and ten long. Damages, $74,- 000. Sr. Paut, July 29. The census of Minnesota shows a popula tion of 780,072 being an increase of 340,366 siuce 1870. Artanra, Ga., July 29. Last night fifteen disguised men, twenty miles from Atlanta, went to the home of Joe Thompson (colored) and beat him and his wife fearfully, shot his son fatally, and killed his daughter. Great indignation throughout the county. Citizens’ meeting at Jonesboro has offered five hundred dol- lars reward for the murderers.
