London, August 25.—Gen. Sir Garnet
Wolseley, in his dispatch to the war of
fice, recounts his engagements at Mag-
far, on Thursday, in which he he held
his ground the whole day against 10,000
Egyptians, his own forces being about
2,000. In his details. General Wolseley
says: “I advanced this morning before
daybreak, with the household cavalry,
two horse artillerv guns, thirty mount
ed infantry, one thousand men from the
York and Lancaster regiments, and the
marines. After some skirmishing I took
|s>ssession of the dam which the enemy
constructed across the canal between
the villages of Magfar and Mouhouta.
During the operations taro squadrons of
the household cavalry charged the ene
my’s broken infantry very gallantly. I
soon found the enemy wing largely
reinforced.
1 could ace the trains arriving. Ithought
it inconsistent with tradition for the
Queen’s army to retite before any num-
ln-r of F’gvpttans, and so decided to hold
i lie ground until the reinforcements ar-
iived. All day I have had the Egyptian
force, 10,000 men, with ten guns in my
front, and on my right flank. The pre
cision of the enemy’s artillery is very
good, but fortunately they Area common
shell only and when they did fire scrap-
nelt their fuses were badly adjusted. The
enemy had their cavalry regiment in
line. Our horses having been recently
on board ships were not in condition to
gallop much.
The two horse artillery guns were serv
ed with pluck and ability. Our casual
ties have been slight. Captain Hallam
l'urr was wounded through the leg.
l.ord Melgund received a wound in the
hand. Captain Parr’s mounted artillery
distinguished itself. All the troops en
gaged did well. To-morrow (Friday) I
shall attack the enemy’s positions at
Holenkc, ami liojie to take possession of
Uie dam they constructed there this
morning.” The English made a recon-
noisanee on the 24th toward Fart Ghnn-
lley, which they found to be still garri
soned by Arabs. Damietta lias been
captured. The ssnitary agent ot the
English government, a post-office official
and two priests were found there. They
had bean leaded with chains for six
weeks and subjected to most terrible
cruelties.

The war office has a telegram from
General Wolseley, dated this evening,
saying that aftcr'the fight of yesterday
the enemy, during the night, withdrew
from their intrenched position at Mahal-

the fall in the canal the lsmailia compa

Passing the otiK-e of the Sluger sew
ing machine company last evening, we
noticed a suflrage-slinger at work with a
sledge-hammer demolishing what ap
peared to be good machines.
“What does this mean?” we asked Mr.
Tooraer, the city manager.
Why, just what you see. We are
breaking up these machines and will sell
them to the fodndry as old icon,” was
the reply.
Are they worthless?” •
Some are and some are not. There
are sixteen here, and they cost the cora-
pany $10 each in trade lor new ma-
somely silver-plated that originally
cost $110. It Issn exteUent machine now,

“Then why don’t yon dolt?" we in
quired.
“It is against the orders of the compa

conflicts with their other business and
often knocks them out of new sales.

have been appointed a committee of the
democratic convention of the Ninth Con

nomination by a unanimous vote of that
body as the democratic candidate, to
represent said district In the 48th
Uulted States Congress. It affords us
great pleasure to perform this duty, and
in compliance witil the wish of the con
vention, we earnestly request you to sig
nify at your earliest convenience your
acceptance of said nomination.
We have the honor, dear sir, to be
yours, most respectfully,
R. H. Baker,

Gainesville. Ga„ Aug. 21, 1882.
Messes. R. H. Baker, Calvin George,
G. H. Yancey, George E. Deadwylkr
and H. P. Rider—Gentlemen:—I have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your commi^ication of the 15th Instant,
informing me of my 'nomination by a
unanimous vote of the convention, as the
democratic’ candidate- to represent the
Ninth district Of - Georgia in the 48th
United 8tatas Congress.’ - < -
It.to assies, gentlemen, for me to tell
you that this distinguished honor has
been conferred upon me by the conven
tion you represent without my solicita
tion, knowledge or consent. Yon know
such to be the case.
Not being a professional man,but hav
ing devoted the better portion of my
life, when not on the tented field, in re
sponse to the call of my state, to indus
trial pursuits and the promotion of the
material Interests of my native state and
section, I have never sought the political
arena.
Still, in common with every other pa
triotic citizen, I have always felt a deep
interest in all questions affecting the
welfare of my state and the prosperity
and happiness of her people, and have
deprecated the temporary success in a
few instances in the south of ambitious
men whose desire for' place has over
topped their patriotism, and whose
thirst.for office has been greater than
theitfcalty to jiarty or love of country.
Indee&'in mj • humble judgment, most
if not all of the evils trom which-we in
Gefe/gtehave suffered since th-hireling
hordes of radical place-hunters and plun
derers fled before the wrath of an out
raged and indignant people, are due to
the indecent aud disgusting efforts <-f
self-constituted candidates for office to
gratify their own personal ambition, re
gardless of the interests of the state or
the welfare of the people. The eager
ness and indecency with which these po
litical cormorants have plied their voca
tion has so thoroughly disgusted the
people that the word “politician” has
become a synonym fot trickster, and
the wopl “candidate” the equivalent of
demagogue. To snoli an extent has
this evil of office-seeking gone, and so
disreputable have been the means re
sorted to by eager aspirants, that good
men have been deterred from standing
for office, and hundreds and thousands
of our best citizens have been disgusted
and paTfi refused. to go to the polls.
Nor is this all. Since the advent into
power in the Federal government of that
paragon of political corruption and au
dacity, the republican party, renegades
ahd apostate democrats in the south
have been encouraged by federal pat
ronage and radical corruption funds
with which to buy the venal and aeduoe
the unwary from the path of rectitude
federal office-holders and tax-gatherers
who are in turn taxed to raise campaign
funds to buy the votes of the venal for
‘independent’ ' candidates for office.
Thus we are mode to contribute our
substance to the success of so-called 'in
dependents,’ whose unholy ambition for
offiuais destroying our system of labor,
blasting the material prosperity of the
state, and corrupting the political mor
als of the people. But the success of
such men is only temporary. The suc-
cess of any man without fixed principles,
oi?an j set of men bound together only
by the ‘cohesive power of public plunder,’
must be ephemeral. Bold, ambitious
men may, under the specious names of
‘inde^endent,| ‘liberal,’ .or ‘conserva
tive’ take advantage of imaginary or
irregularities, or it may be, at times,
abdtes of party met hods, and by appeals
pasiuon rather than reasou, inflame
thq^ninda of unsuspecting people and
carry one or two elections. Bat when
tiiftioib# second thought has wrought Its
people, those who fight the
of the country and bear the bur
dens of government, return to their alle
giance-to their party, the party of the
people, tho grand old democratic party,
on wiiose battle flag is inscribed the
names of a thousand fields from which it
has emerged victorious. They realize
that at last the democratic party Is the
only truly ‘liberal,’ ‘conservative’ and
‘independent’ party, the only party
in which worth alone is a test of merit.
They remember that when It
has-been in power the burdens of gov
ernment have been light, the country
has been prosperous, and the people hap-

For two sufficient reasons I may not

In the first place, overwhelmed with tjie

ALL ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA.
It Caa B« Cnrad, awl Wliar* th* DAngn Lias.
Dr. Frank Durham chanced to drop
into our office the other day, and in
the course of conversation, the
subject of Mr. Crof. Arnold, of Ogle
thorpe, being bitten by a mad-dog,
was brought up.
“If he shows any effects from the
poison I will guarantee to cure him iu
twenty-four hours,” remarked the
doctor.
“Why,” we exclaimed, “I always
thought it. was impossible to cure a
case of hydrophobia.”
“No; I have an old remedy, which,
by the way, I will qopy and give you
for .publication, that,never fails. It is
not my discovery, for I got it from my
uncle. The first test f made of It was
in Hancock county, on a little boy
who was bitten by a-mad dog, and !n
three days he began to show evident
signs of the poison. He grew quite
nervous, and the slgfit of water threw
him into spasms. The lather brought
to me,and in twenty-foqr hours he had
thoroughly recovered and has never
shown the slightest signs of an attack
since. I have now, near Sparta, the
case ofanegrowhowks lately bitten
by a mad-ffog, but jW^has no.t as yet
shown symptom* <4 hydrophobia.”
“How long after being bitten by a
mad-dog before hydrophobia devel
ops,” we asked. ‘ ,
“Geneialiy In three days, but I have
known them to »go as long as thirty
days; but after that time there is not
much danger. There is a case on rec
ord, however, where aman was effect
ed after three years. But such in
stances are rare. I do not know that
my remedy would avail much if ad
ministered after the patient is in the
throes of death. It Is best to com
mence treatment whep the first, qyhpjH ’
toms develop. I witnessed two deaths
from this cause while attending col-1
legeln Philadelphls, and the suffer
ing of the ylctlfhs wki excruciating.* I
cannot imagine a more horrible end.”
“What do you think of the mad-
stones, Doctor?” *
“I have no confidence in them. You
know 'that any porous substance
will adhere to the flesh, and this fact
has doubtless built up tbe reputation
of the so-called mad-stone. A clay
pipe would be equally as efficient to
extract poison, for If you will touch
one to your tongue it at once adheres.
I have the receipt for making the
Hindoo mad-stone, that has such a
world-wide reputation. Ita'principal
ingredient Is charred bone dust.”
“Are all persons bitten by rabid an
imals liable to take hydrophobia?”
“Qh, no; probably not one in ten.
It is only when the teetb of tbe ani
mal comes in direct contact with tbe
into the blood, that danger is to be
feared. In a large majority of cases
tbe victim is bitten through - his
clothes, which cleanses the teeth of
the dog from the venomous foam be
fore they strike the flesh.' No trouble
ever follows such an instance, as It is
the lather that drips from the mouth
of a rabid animal, and not the wound
inflicted by the teeth, that produces
madness. Again, perhaps not one
dog in twenty thought to be mad ts
actually suffering from' hydrophobia.
There are many other diseases to
which canine flesh Is heir, that causes
the dog to act in an unusual manner;
but those ignorant of this fact claw
them all under the same head. Gen
uine cases of hydrophobia are very
rareL-hnf, Iti Is always heat to'
safe tlde;aui

“And you feel no ddubt about your
ability to.cureacaseofhydrophobia?”
“Not the slightest, )f ( I am sent for
in time. Butaslfeald, my remedy is
no secret, and as soon, as I return to
Sparta will sehd you sedpy for publi
cation. I think I owe this to suffering
humanity. The physicians can then

In these latter days, when It seems
the bent of every candidate to ride
Into office by pandering to the whim ,
and prejudices of our oolored element,
and beguile them Into supporting him
by promises that he has ho' intention

and looks more to the honor of
his party than his Individual ad
