Intelli gence has just been received at the war office thafc General Stewart's force is intrenched at south Metem neh. The dispatch also gives the gratifying information that Stewart is in communication with General Gordon. Stewart's force had sever al fights with the Arab rebels before they reached Metemneh. Stewart himself was badly wounded. Five of El Mahdi's emissaries were killed in the .fight General Wolseley in a dispatch reports the capture of Me temneh by the British, and also says Sir Charles "Wilson has gone to Khar toum on board the steamer to confer with Gordon. He is expected to re turn as soon as possible and report personally to Wolseley. Official dispatches indicate that the march of btewart and his little army from the Abou iilea wells to his pres ent position has been no easy task. Almost every foot appears to have been sharply contested by the reso lute Arab foe. There was a constant succession of encounters from the aotion of the 17th till the Nile was reached, the British troops steadily gaining frosb viotories over the im petuous but easily demoralized foe. On the morning of Monday, January l'J, two days alter the tight at Abou Klea, the enemy appeared in force in front of the advancing British army. A short, fierce battle wras fought This occurred at a point about three miles from the rule. The British wore compelled to sustain a heavy fire for some time. Early in the en gagement Stewart received a severe wound, and Sir Charles "Wilson there upon assumed command. "Works were hastily constructed under the leaden rain which contin ued to pour upon them from the en emies' rifles. The wounded men and baggage train were left under guard behind the quickly built earthworks, while the rest of the force advanced, in the face of a hostile fire, to a grav el ridge some distanco in front Here a large forceof rebels had established themselves in strong position. As soon as the British line came near, a fierce charge was made against it by the rebel foemen. The British troops wero arranged as usual in the form of a square, and steadily advanced to meet the wild onset of the loudly cheering enemy, who were rushing down upon them. At the same time the rifles of the British were doing bloody execution. The charge was checked, and not an Arab came within thirty -yards of the British square. The rebels did not long stand before the murderous English fire, but were repulsed with heayy loss. Pive emirs and 230 mon were left dead upon the field, and largo num bers were wounded. About the Eng lish losses few details have yet been received. It is known, however, that Cameron, special correspondent of the London Daily Standard, and Her bert, special correspondent for the Morning Post, were killed. The place where the battle occurred was a slight distanco beyond the Shebacatt wells. StewaTt's wound, while not fatal, is so serious that he -will be disabled for the remainder of tho present cam paign, ueneral Wolseley considers the deprivation of his services a na tional loss. He characterizes Stewart as the ablest soldier and most dash ing commander he ever knew, and recommends him te tho queen's most faTorable consideration. Jjord St Yincent, of the artillery, was among tho British slain. Whoro tho battle of the 19lh oc curred is in the desert, about five miles from Metemneh. When Gen eral Stewart reached that point he found the enemy hovering about his little army on all sides, and skirting it often within uncomfortably short rango. The rebels had evidently sta tioned themselves in the vicinity to await his arrival and give him battle. When they began to surround him and press in upon him he determined to abide the event Ho ordered his xnex. to dismount and form a zareeha. This was made mainly with saddles and baggage, and during its construc tion rebel riflemen drew nearer and maintained a hot firo from behind ambushes and such hiding places as they could find among the bushes and high grass. This firo was very well directed and was most disastrous in its effect upon tho British troops. Twelve men wero soon shot dead, and forty others wounded. Among the first killed were Mr. Cameron, special correspondent of the London Standard, and Mr. Her bert, special correspondent of the London Post. General Stewart was ono of the first to be wounded. He was shot in tho thigh. When he was shot the work of making the zareeha was about completed, and the army had been put in motion to form its battle array. This was a hollow square. As soon as completed the square advanced under a steady am bush fire a distance of two miles. At this point the enemy began to mtve upon the square in two large echelons. These were directed against the Brit ish right front, "which stood unmoved. During the rebel charge, the En glish troops forming the assailed front delivered a ternffio fire, aimed right at the enemy's 'middle, mowing down men in such heaps that they formed actual obstacles, and inter fered so seriously with the evenness of the advance necessary to the suc cess of the onslaught that its center line was brought to a standstill, about sixty yards from the British front line. The force of the general movement threw the unimpeded parts of the line, like the ends of a broken timber, around the corners of the square, and rebels so displaced were simply cut to pieces. From this on the warfare- was ns disastrous to the rebels as it was ir regular on their side. "When the en emy's line was broken, the Arabs seemed lo break up into bands, each of which seemed to wage war on its own account A large detatehment, Inostlv on horseback, weut back to attack the zarceba. This was gam-! soned by a body of English soldiers, i made up of little detachments left! by each corps which had gone for ward into the square. Lord Charles Beresford was in command. He sus tained the attack for two hours, when the enemy was compelled to retreat Dnring the general attack upon the square only six men were killed and twenty-three wounded on the English side. Captain Norton worked the guns during thi3 fight, and his firing did awful execation. Stewart's force on leaving the Gadkul wells, consist ed of 2,000 picked fighting men. The latest dispatches received at the war office show that Lord St Yin cent was not, as at first reported, killed in tho battle fought in the des ert the 19th inst He died from wounds received the 17th. at Abon Klea. THE TALIj SYCAMORE'S SON. "I was surprised lo read in "the Post a few days ago that Charles S. Yoorhees, the son of the Indiana sen ator, is the congressman elect from Washington territory, said a well known young Detroit lawyer at the Michigan Exchange last evening. "The surprise is due to the difference between his present position nnd his situation when he was a resident of Detroit" "When did he live here?' asked a Postm reporter. "In the spring of 15S1, ttc was here several weeks, and I'll wager he'il never forget his Detroit experi ence, especially as it is included in his marnage to a Detroit girl Tell ns the story." , "The narntrrnnli in the Post srn. tedl ii.i. -7 i i .i itr....i.ii ! mm young vooruees piiiyuu xtaunot i once ana once only, some years ago at an Indianapolis theatre. iut that was not the only time he appeared on I the stacre. He was thoronclv stace- struck and joined John AlcCnllough's company, coming here with that or ganization, lie played minor parts, and overactedjto an extent that caused him to be guyed by the audience. Voorhee3 asked MeCullongh if the latter thought he would ever be come an actor, and McCnllough told him he would never become a great one. He was a proud fellow, and im-1 mediately leit tne company;, ue nau no money, and to obtain means ex changed his clothes for a shabby genteel suit and some money at an Baalen's pawnshop, aud engaged board at Mrs Clark's, whoso house is above Grand River avenue. An ac quaintance brought Yoorhees lo me thinking I could aid him in obtain ing employment on one of the Detroit newspapers. I took him to Mr. Quiin by, of the Free Press, who thought Yoorhees was an impostor aud would have nothing to do with him. Then I took him to an afternoon paper publisher, who told the senator's son to write a sample article and submit it Yoorhees constructed a gushing love story, and was told that that stylo of literaturo was not what was wanted on the paper. That endcil tho attempt to make a newspaper man out of him. After this failure I saw nothing of Yoorhees for several days. One evening tho door bell at our houso rang, and when it was an swered Mr. Yoorhees and a lady were admitted. He astonished me by pre senting the lady as his wife, having just been married by father Yan Dyke. The lady was a Miss Bauble, a pretty rencn girl, wuo was board ing at the same house, and with whom Yoorhees bad become smitten. A brief courtship resulted in the mar riage, Miss Bauble having sufficient faith in and love for the young man, in spite of his impecuniosity and fail ure to obtain employment The new ly married couple passed the evening with us, the walk to the house and back to the boarding place making up their bridal trip. Getting married did not improve the young man's financial condition, although I don't know as it hurt it any. After stand ing the strain as long as he could he was compelled to apply to his father for assistance. It came at once, aud in accordance with tho Senntor Yoor hees' directions the ex-actor and bride went to Washington. I heard nothing of hini until I read of his election to congress, and you can well imagine the marvellous change four years will make in an average American's life. It seems funny to think that the man who was poverty- stricken and unable to obtain work in Detroit in 1881, is in 1831 a member- elect of congress." The Ladvand'llcr Teeth. Tn nld timrs the doctors saw the benefit of iron for the blood, but the only preparation they had was one which, if it touched the teeth, mined the enamel, leaving the teeth like chalk. Many ladies have utterly ru ined their teeth with this preparation. Now -we have Brown's Iron BitFers, which may be taken safely and with tho most happy result. Dr. liuggles of Marion, Mass., in speaking highly of Brown's Iron Bitters, adds, "It does not hurt the teeth." PARKER HOUSE ASTOlJIA. OKF.GOh". Till-.
