Despatches from JSuakim state that the rebels opened tire on General Graham's forces at 1 o'clock this morning. The British forces were at once formal to reel the charge, but no attack came. The men were thereupon ordered to 1 ie down again. The lire of the rebels continued all night, but the British did not reply.' One otlkvr and two men were wounded, and one man killed. Fighting Ixgan at daybreak. The infantry and artillery completely routed the enemy from their pits and trenches. The battle had not lasted more than half an hour when the victory of the British was made certain. Telegraphic dispatches have been received from Gen eral Graliam, dated Osman Dig ma's camp, March 13th, 11:40 a. m., in which he says: '"The camp of the enemy has been taken, after hard fighting since S o'clock this morning. Over seventy of the British were killed and one hundred wounded. Mary's Lamb in a New Liijijt. Peck's Sun. 'Darling," said he, tenderly encircling her slendej waist with his larlioard arm, "can you tell me in what respect you re senible Mary, of little lamb fame?" "No. I cannot, dear Ilenery,"' she answered, blushing one of those western sunset blushes that betoken cold weather. '"Be cause,' said he, as he tenderly stroked the golden hair, 'lecause you have a pet that loves you so." "And now dear, Henry, can you tell me why you are like Mary's Iambi-1"' f"No, lear, why -am I?" "Be cause," said she glancing nervously to ward the door, "because you are sure to go. I hear papa coming down the stairs and you know." "Why am I like Mary's teacher?" thundered the old man poking his head in the door and foundling a sev--en pound Indian dab. "Because," an swering himself, ' 'after 1 lo'clock is against the rule and I am going to turn vou out." As the young man limited painfully away he was heard to mutter to himself: "Well", I differ from the lamb in one. respect, for i 11 never follow Mary any more! Alligator Brigade. Palatka, March S, 184. Editors of the Daily News: On Saturday morning, March 8th. a party consisting of Commodore Pool, Col. Welch, Dr. Buckley and Professor Young left Palatka for an extended tour in the head-waters ot the St. Johns river. The steamer Marion was specially clus tered for the occasion under command of Captain W. II. Mclntyre. while Mr. C. II. Gurney accompanied the party as guide. A large number of friends gath ered at the wharf shortly before the boat left to see the party off. and took a lively interest in the supplies that were being sent on board, criticizing severely several packages marked "Budweiser," best Monogram," "E. & J. Burke," etc. It was explained that the party intended at tempting to reach Lake Washington a feat which has not. I believe, been ac complished for about ten years, and hence the large amount of supplies nece s sary for such an arduous undertaking. "A dollar to twer.tv-m e cents you don't make it," exclaimed Ca; taia I. J. Ada., s 'Done," replied Commodore Loot. A subscription was immediately taken up on board to cover the 1 t. Captain Joe Smith st(xxl smiling at the party ami seemed anxious to take a hand in. "All aboard," "good-bye" and the Marion swung olf into the broad St. Johns on her southern journey. I may say in ex planation that a trip has leen with one exception made yearly for seven years by Commodore Root and party, and members can only join by eating a one pound steak cut from the tail of an alli gator. Some doubt has been expressed as to this, but I can personally vouch for its authenticity. Welch, Young and Buekly have yet to go through the or deal, but it is difficult to forecast the re sult. Judging from to-daA's dinner Welch is the favorite. To resume: Hounding past Hart's celebrated grove, White's Beach, San Mateo and the al most numberless beautiful groves on the banks of this magnificent river, one feels that "it is well to be here," and drinking in the warm healthful air, that there is something life-giving and revivifying in it, and that only a few hundred miles north there is snow, ice and zero seems incredulous. After a pleasant run we anchored off Salt creek for the night, Sunday morning shone bright and clear as the Marion steamed away for Volusia bar. and the effect of the clear air laden with ozone was as the imbibing of one of the Commodore's celebrated cocktails. Peacefully and quietly the day passed, with occasional glimpses of alligators and ducks, which almost startled the party into forgetting that "the seventh day is the Sabbath," but no doubt early training restrained the eager hunting impulse, and with resignation the many temptations were quietly passed by. In the evening the goddess of night shone in all its splendor, causing the river to appear as a leautiful mirror re flecting perfectly the weird scene, ren dered still more ghost-like by the moon lit shades and shadows, like a scenery in fairyland. Anchor was cast in AVekiwa creek. Monday morning, bright and early, the first trial was made with fair results one alligator seven feet nine in ches, six black bass, two limkin and sev eral other birds, but the event of the morning was'the Capture of a stray dog by Dr. Buckley. At 1 a. m. a start was made for San ford, from which point the actual trip will commence, and if oppor tunity offers r few lines may reach you as to the further proceedings of the Alligator Brigade. PKOM1X KX T I'KOPLE. Anderson. Marv Anderson return to America next spring (1$8.). G P. a II AM. Gen. Graham was one of AVolse!ey"s crack fighters in Egypt two years ago. Sala. George Augustus Sala will make a tour of the United States next fall, lecturing as he goes. Edmunds. Mr. Edmunds cannot Ixj president, he has no warmth of manner. If Mr. Edmunds were to accidentally seat himself on a pin, he would not arise to remove it. Waddell. James J. Waddell. of An napolis, formerly commander of the fa mous confederate cruiser, has been elect ed captain of the steamer Leila, of the Baltimore oyster police boats. Ferry. M. Jules Ferry, in a brilliant speech in the French chamber recently, showed that the rage for building had leen developed to monstrous projiortions in Paris, and 10,000,000 had been ex pended during the last six years. Lor I ng. Gen. Loring, United States commissioner of agriculture, has been tendered the position of superintendent of the agricultural department of the AYorld's Exposition at New Orleans. It is a judicious selection. Pomeroy. Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, is a presidential candidate on a platform which calls for the abolition of all sect societies, such as Masons. Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Grand Army of the Republic and trade unions. Gets Him In Its Neck. Macon Telegraph A-, ;. ; If Logan can be President, it is need less to say that eggs can't hatch.

Perhaps Dr. Mary Walker may; in view of the prestige she obtained by knocking out the 'negro messenger in AVashington, yesterday, be tempted to accept the Prussian's standing challenge. It Remains to be Seen. Rochester Herald. The steamers that sail from New York to-day will take out more than so, 500, 000 in gold. The Lessing took $200,000 in double eagles, Thursday. Including these shipments more than fourteen mil lion dollars in gold has been sent to Eu rope in the last two weeks. How much of this can the country stand ? A Very Hot Box. Tampa Tribune. If the augustly autocratic exponent of journalistic ethics who presides in the sanctum of Florida's hyphenated metro politan daily again forgets his dignity so far as to indulge in talk in regard to '"hysterical silliness" and '"shrieking wards of Chattahoochee," it may give rise to the inference that he has become a convert to the once abhorred doctrine of "personal responsibility." Dead as a Door Nail. Iirooklyn Easle, (Dem). Mr, Tilden is again the subject of ani mated discussion in our Democratic ex changes. The fire kindled by the crime of 1870-77 still smoulders beneath the ashes. But cui bono? If the accepted oracles of the Sage of Greystone are to be believed, we might, so far as any practi cal purpose is concerned, as well engage in a discussion of the virtues of Moses or Sesostris. The liholy Democrats Petersburg Index-Appeal (Dem.) The Rbode Island Democratic Conven tion will assemble, if that 'word may be used, on the 19th of this month. The proceedings will be unanimous and en thusiastic. The delegate has not yet been chosen, or chosen himself we real ly don't know whether there are two Democrats in Rhode Island this vear or only one, as usual points to harmony in made. . -but everything the choice to be Short But Pertinent. Ocala Banner. There is no more reason for excluding Jelferson Davis from the Mexican war pension bill than several thousand other men who did as much in their several spheres for the Confederate cause as Mr. Davis did in his. His name was exclu ded from the provisions of the bill as a concession to Northern prejudice only, and the fact that this was insisted upon does not speak well for the tolerance and progress of that section. What Presidents Ditl'nt Know. Macon Telegraph. Says an exchange; '"George Washing ton, the first President of the United States, never saw a steamboat. John Adams, the second President, never saw a railroad, Andrew Jackson, the sev enth President, knew nothing about the telegraph, Abraham Liireoln, the six teenth President, never dreamed of such a thing as the telephone." Yes and none of these parties knew anything of a ""straight flush." That's where Arthur has the advantage of them. 3I-Peteriiian Indignant. Mr, Henry Peterman, the propritor of the St. Johns Hotel, lost a very fine im pe ted silk handkerchief some days ago and yesterday he was made aware that a negro man who had once been in his employ as a porter, Avas in possession of his lost property. Mr. Peterman dis covering the uegro's wherealiouts late yesterday evening, made an effort to have hkn arrested by tlie city marshal but, he says, that high official refused, from some cause, to act. At a late liour however, the thief was apprehended and run in, and will probably have a hearing to-day. Mr. Peterman was a very in dignant man last night when he relate these facts to us. I MI' OUT.
