London, Jam 2.—A dispatch from Rensberg, Cape Calouy, says General Freuch has completely defeated the Boers and occupied Colesburg. Tha general continued to keep the Boers on the move and pressed them closely Sat urday and Sunday, giving them no time to make a prolonged stand, and when day broke he was within striking dis tance of the enemy. Sunday night all the cavalry, artillery and infantry, the latter riding in wag ons to increase the general mobility, started upon a night march with the object of turning the Boers’ right. The flank operations wore successful. The infantry and field batteries immediately made a feint attack upon the Boer front, and while this was proceodiug the cav airy ana light artillery got completely around the enemy’s right flank as ar ranged. The program worked without hitch. The Boers were uttsrly surprised, and finding their retreat threatened, fled in disorder to the eastward, leaving Coles- berg in General French’s hands.

Raleigh, Jan. 2.—The negroes cele brated the thirty-seventh anniversary of the signing of the emancipation proc lamation here yesterday. One of the features of the day was the reading aud adoption of an address to the white peo ple of the state, calling on them to aid in defeating the proposed constitutional amendment. In the course of the ad dress, which is quite long they say: “We cannot resist the conviction that the proposed amendment to our state constitution is the initial step in the di rection of nullifying the proclamation of emancipation and abrogating, as far as possible, the results of the war for freedom. It is already urged by an in fluential portion of the newspapers of the south, and by many or the leading men, that these amendments to the state constitution are temporary expe dients; that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the consti tution of the United States must be re pealed Tnese are the guarantees of our freedom and citizenship in the land. Repeal them and slavery again becomes lawful. ” After discussing the negro problem and the cause that led the negro into the Republican party, the address goes on to say: “Should yGu reject this appeal and turn a deaf ear to oar entreaty; should you determine to do that which we so much dread, we have no power to pre vent it. For us there will be but one remedy. We shall be compelled to seek a home in some otner land—a better country. ’’ State Cmnp.iijjn Committee to Slake Aggressive Fight.

It started in the basement of Lindsay & Morgan’s furniture store at Broughton aud Bar nard streets about 10 o’clock. The fire department soon had a stream upon it, but th9 fatal elevator shaft knocked out all calculafions and within 6 or 10 miuutes after the arrival of the department the flames had reached the fourth story and the volume of smoke prevented effective fire lighting. The Lindsay & Morgan building was soon in flames and the firemen had to turn their attention to saving ether structures across Broughton street, the wind blowing toward the northeast. At 11 o’clock Daniel Hogan’s store, across Barnard street, was ablaze. The 6re in this building and that next to it, was confined to the two upper stories, but they were both flooded with water. Ocher stores ou the opposite corners were slightly damaged aud floods of wa ter were poured in upon them to pre vent a spread of the conflagration. No oue was injured, though there were several narrow escapes from fall ing Avails. How’s This? Bf m, m That Letter you didn’t write hasn’t come. You meant to write it.

C., Dec. 30.—In 1853 i there were 203.81 miles of railroad built in South Carolina, and that has been the record for any 12 months since that 1 time, the nearest approach to equaling it being in 1892, when 18J.57 miles were ; built. In the last six mouths, however, 197 miles of road have been constructed, with the prospect of 100 and perhaps 150 miies more being built before the mid dle of next summer—far surpassing any previous 12 months’ record. The Seaboard Air Line leads with 91 i miles, the Atlantic Coast Line comes next with 34 miies and the Southern is a close third with 31.2. TLo remainder of the mileage is divided among three roads.

Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 1.—There ia scarcity of raw material used in the manufacture of pig iron in this district, and as a consequence there have been fears felt that it would be necessary for some furnaces to bank their fires until the supply has been increased some. It seems that coke, coal and limestone is very short. The miners and quarrymen lost time on account of the Christmas holiday and with a usual short supply the few days’ lay off was felt. As to limestone, it is stated that some furnaces in this dictrict have just been getting a day ahead in their supply. The coal snppiy is bo short that the Birmingham rolling mills were forced to remain idle during this week. It is believed that enough of the pi-oduct will be produced now to allow tha plant to resume operation tomorrow. There is also a big scarcity of coke. Efforts are being made to increase the snppiy of coal, coke and limestone and it is expected that before the end of another quarter the supply will be abundant and sufficient for all the fur naces now contemplating going into blast.
