Mayor. 6t " oner in the hands of the victors. ; 12:30 pi ni; The war office ha&isH sued the following telegrams from Gen. Wolsely announcing that the fall of Khartouin took place January 26th. He says Col. Wilson arrived at Khartoum on - January 28th, and was greatly surprised to find that the enemy were in possession of that place. He ini mediately started on lis "return -down the river, and pro ceeded under a heavy Jfire from the rebels. When some miles below shu blaka cataract, Col. Wilson's steam ers were wrecked, blit he and his whole partly manage to-reach Aan is land in safety where they are secure. A steamer has gone to bring them back to the British camp near Me temneh. "Gen. Wolsely says he has no information regarding the fate of Gen. Gordon, aud does not know whether he is dead or aHe. 2 p. in. iThere is no longer any doubt that the Mahdi holds possession of the ioyn of Khartoum. Some hopes are ei taincd thai Gen. Gordou may still be; holding out in the cita del of the tpwn.: Meanwhile the ex citement in London and everywhere throughout the British Isles. where the iiews, is kknown is -rising to fever lit at.

The jubilant gladuess. which has charac terized England in regard to Egypt on receipt ot the welcome news ot Gen. Stewart's successful arrival in the neighborhood of Metemneh has given way to universal depression, and expressions of c' is may and forebo ding come from almost everybody. It is too early to estimate dhe influ ence of the news on the political situ ation. 1 lie war office is beseiged with army officers tendering their services for active., duty in' the Soudan, numerous telegrams being received from officers throughout the country asking for assignments to a rescue ex pedition, s-hould-the govermueut con clude to take sue t action. The capture of Khartoum has cre ated grave fears, especially in army circles, lor the safety of Gen. Stewart and his army.

Some years ago; says Pomeroy's Democrat, we had in our employ a roan who seve ral times a day ran'out of the office to buy a drink 6f whisky. Every time he went out the cashier was in structed to dropteu cents into a draw er to our credit. At vthe end of 17 months the man who had gone out so often had drank himself out of a good situation : and the drawer, when opened, was found to contain $490, which we loaned! to a young man at seven per "centj interest. He used it to purchase a set of tinner's tools. On the 16th of February 1876, he re turned it to us with interest, saying in his letter that he had a wife, two children and property worth $500. The other fellow is a bummer hunt ing for. food. ' - An exchange savs that Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned for twelve years (1005 17) in a small and cloomv cell, ten feet by eight feet, in the White lower? That is an error. Sir Walter's confinement in the Tower was more of a residence there than imprisonment. He had free access to the adjoining garden where he erected a laboratory, assayed metals and delved in chemicals. In the Tower he had with him his wife and family, his servants and even Indi- aujo Ajiuiii yj uumi. vuce w uen ior some cause his wife was required to leave the Tower and reside elsewhere, he request ed that the order be revoked because of the expense he would be at to maintain two establishments.

Augusta,Ga., Fe& 5. The reduc tion of fares to New Orleans is being carried into effect. Passenger rates from Augusta to New Orleans by the Queen aud Crescent, ' route, via Bir mingham and the Atlanta and New Orleans Short Line, via Montgomery, have been reduced from $22 to $16 for round trip tickets. Chattanooga, Feb. 5. A dispatch from Dalton, Ga., to the Daily Times reports that teats made today in the mineral ranges of Cohutta mountains confirm the previous reports of the minus of this branch. The fare is $1.45 (5 cents a mile) while the local ticket on the main line for the same distance is less than $1.

A gentleman present, who was deeply boy is about six years of age, and there fore, knows nothing of musical in struments. While at home he amuses himself by making music with boards and sticks arranged according to his own ideas. When his father brought him an accordion the first he had ever taken in his hands one of the party present whistled an air, and to Winston, N.

Compared with rates I seen. On the instrument he played on tne mainline mese rates are Duraen-1 with one hand! whatever airs were some on the Winston-Salem people. That much is clear. But, without knowing anything about railroad man agement, and with the conviction very firm that neither railroads nor other corporations ought to be allowed to im pose on the public, the Chronicle sus pects that this higher rate on the branch road may be necessary in order to make the road profitable. . Certainly a branch road has less chance to do a profitable business than a through line. But whether the rate could safely be made as low on the fealem branch as on whistled or sunp to him.
