A Drier- Jar Dr lxrrrp't Head. 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. T1IK kovptian retreat.

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, Calvin George, G. H. Yancey, G. E. Deadwylkr, H. P. Bidnx. 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- Ninth district of Georgia is a democratic district: ’ 1 It has ever been democratic frofU ’tire 'day when glorious Howel) Cobb first led its hosb to victory, dawn to the day when Its vote redeemed tbs state ■old Confed. will realize, my blood „ bile listening to such Insult*’ radical misrule.

' Allen D. Candler. 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 slightest spa] “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 strong hand of congress to tire only ;.thing that can now save the country, add to it we appeal for protection. Let the government either take control of the great arteries of commerce, or organize a commission to stand between the people and these great monopolies. ■> 11 , ■■»-) Jti'f-pirVMj CANDLER AND THE COLORED -VOTE. latarrlAw »llw>u Oar StaaduA B«r.r And , , »OotoraS Dal 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 at the time to fulfil, it is truly refresh ing to meet one man who holds him self above such contemptible methods, and looks more to the honor of his party than his Individual ad vancement .
