A dispatch from Est court, Natal, dated Not. 11th contains Information of the strength of the Boer forces obtained by , Lieut. Hooper of the 5th Lancers. Lieut. Hooper was guided to Lady smlth by trooper Martin of Natal Police. Martin returned yesterday bearing a let ter-from the Lieutenant saying that General White who is shut up in Lady smith reperts casualties not severe up to that date. That tbe Boers were behav ing well, but that all the refugees from Dundee were being sent into Ladysmlth, thus making an extra Btrain on the food aupply. Lieut. Hooper and Martin as guide went through tbe Doer camp at tJolenso, on the Tuela rirer, tin ler cover of night unchallenged. They counted ninety tents in the Boer camp at thai place. . When the men approached the neigh borhood of Ladysuiitb Ibey found the Boers "Very thick. They hid themselves until night fall and then Lieut. Hooper walked with a native guide into Lady smlth. While Martin awaited for tbe letter from Lieut. Hooper, ho lay hidden In a luuse which wai surrounded by the Boer 4. Losdjn, Nov. 17. During th's week 23,500 British troop have arrived in BouthAfilca. Of the;e,, 7,290 have gone to Durban. General Hilyard now has ample troops with artillery at Durban, and lit ready for a forward movement for Telief to ward Estcourt and Ladysmlth. Thi's the closing dayi of tbe week And h situation in South Africa -assume a rosier hue from the British poiut ol view than was the cue seven days back .Then tbe newspapers reviewing the war - found it impossible, despite the belief in British ton icity, to avoid a certain tone ' of anxiety. Ladysmlth Is still clo3ely invested by the Boers more closely than, it wa seven days ago but confidence Is foil in General White to bold his own, and to Indict severe blows. From tbe various reports it seem certain that there bat teen heavy lighting there. The Baert' force in front of EHcourt numbers only a few thousand. The at tack on the armored train indicates that they have artillery. Against a relief column of 10,000 or 13,000 with Held guns, such a force could do but little, 'it might damage the railway and destroy some of tbe numerous briiges, thus con siderably retarding the British advance.

Odh of the questions which is now giving rise to much talk and surmise is whether Judge Ewart, of the United Slate District Court, will resign. The opponents of Swart bope tbat Purnell will be made Judge for all North Carolina under a consolidation of the districts, while tbe friends of Ewart bope that if there is to be such an arrangement be will be tbu winner. Judge Ewart denies that be entered Into an agreement with Senator Pritch- ard to resign bis Federal judgeship la December. With the promised support of every. Republican senator, except four, and of a great many Democratic senators, and Ibe support of, practically, tbe entire bar" of the Western Dis trict, Judge Ewart is sure of confirma tion, in spite of Senator Butler's oppo sition. The State Superintendent of Public instruction says the public schools are now in full swing all over the State and tbat he bears nothing discouraging re garding them. The office of tbe labor commissioner has at last been lilted up in hanitsome style, with the best pattern of filelng cases. 1 ue ruining 01 trie ointe or me itcretary of State has begun. Much room for records will be provided. An excellent quality of iron oro has been found near Elkln, on tbe North Wllkesboro road. It is In beavy deposit ami covers an area of four wile.

'ibe millionaire Dukes, of Durham, have bought 05,100 acres of land in Florida. This will be cut and then much tobacco may be planted. Tbe ne clerk of the District Court, Major Grant, is now fully installed in office. Speaking of the new bankruptcy law, he said he was astonished that so few people take advantage of it. It is in troth singular that iu the entire Stale there have not been over 100 bankruptcy petitions, both voluntary and Involun tary if so many. The Stale board of agriculture is call ed toHueet December 6th. Rev. Dr. J. J.

Loudon, Nov. 19 Queen Victoria, much against ber personal inclination, J is being forced by public sentiment to take her spring holiday on the Italian instead of the French Riviera j The fierce animosity of tbe French ' press over the Boer war has aroused , such violent resentment here tbat other and more substantial methods of retort upon France then tbe deprivation of the Qaeen's company are also -being organ ised. In a few of tbe most exclusive and socially InSuential West End clubs Brook's, White's, tbe St. James and the Travelers' a movement is being organ ized to pledge their members to refrain from visiting the Paris exhibition and to employ every Influence to induce their friends to do likewise. This scheme has not only been publicly promoted, its originators desiring to avoid a fiasco, but it is being warmly taken np. An effort to persuade English society women to give up wearing French cos tumes miserably failed. It was seriously mooted at the smart party of Lord fav lie's, at Rufford Abbey, this week, but Lady Savllle protested that the men would be the first to object If the women discarded French frocks; a view sup ported with alacrity by all the other ladies present, Including the young Duchess of Marlborough, who had only just returned from Paris with the cream of the latest confections from the Rue de la Paix. GEN. BULLER'S PLAN. Will Relieve Mafeking and Kimberley and Cut off the Allies. London, November 19 General Buller Is now ai De Aaar Junction, Northern Cape Colony, whence he has sent a col umn to relieve Kimberley and Mafeking. He proposes to go with the main body through Blocmfontein to Pretoria, as he originally intended to do. But at Wynberg, GO miles beyond Bloemfontein, a column will be de tached to cut of the retreat of the Free dtaters, the British occupying tbe level veldt, unsuitable to Boer tactics. The main object of General Buller's plan is to get in the rear of the Trans vaal and Free State columns. Tbe British advance Is in a much more forward state than the public has been permitted to know. Even the news of the arrival of troop ships at South Afri can ports baa been kept back, so a larger body is on tbe move to tbe front than is suspected. "I had dyspepsia fifty-seven years and never found permanent relief till I used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Now I am well and feel like a new man," writes S. J. Fleming, Murry, Neb.

In tbe course of a very interesting interview, Alex B. Stronach, tbe commandei of L. O'B. Branch Camp o'. Confederate Yet erana here, said the camp has 300 mem bers, all of whom are to be uniformed. There is to be a large drOm corps. The camp goes to the annual encampment at Louisville next year. Its stay there will be brief, as It will be abfe to return here barely Ij time to participate ib4he cere monies of the unveiling of the Vanco statue, on May zOth. Mr. Stronach has received the regula tlons for uniforms and Insignia of rank to be worn by tbe veterans. Tbey are an exact copy of the Confederate regu lations. Generals and staff officers are to wear frock coats, line officers sack coats. A major general will wear a coat with turned down collar with three stars on each side tbe lapel. The movement for a monument here to the "women of ihe Confederacy," in the centre of Nasb square, which is tbe park in froul of tbe union passenger station, will be under full headway next week. Money circular letters will be sent out, to each of the .r)2 camps iu the State, and to two prominent veterans in each county to take interest in the plan. The counties will be asked to pay ten cents for each enlisted 111 a a they sent to the army. ThU will arouse county pride. Mr. Stronach will also, on behalf of L. O'B. Branch Camp, send "to tho "Sons North Crrolina" all over the country, calling 00 them for aid. and telling them that the camp has undertaken to raise the money and build the monument, and that this movement has tbe hearty en dorsement of t'ac grand camp of this Stite- Mr. Henry Powell of Aberdeen, says he was al Pineburst and watched with much interest the great work Mr. James W. Tufts is doing there. There are 200 men at work on the Carolina Hotel. It will have 400 rooms, and the roof will be finished in ten days, provided there ia a continuation of this maryelously fine weather. The design of the hotel is very beautiful. It Is a fourth of a milo from the Holly Inn, and quite near tbe Aber deen A Asheville Railroad. Its rates are to be 41 a day and upward. There Is a great demand for exactly such a hotel. Mr. Powell thinks the hoii3e will be completed in February. Mr. Tufts is also building more cottages and a 7 room addition to the Berkshire House. The Adjutant General nas begun the preparation of the roster of tbe North Carolina volunteers in the war with Spain, so it can be published this year. It is taken from the very complete mus ter in and muster out rolls. The crop pest commission lias granted license to SI nurseries out of the State and 44 in the Slate to Sell their slock in North Carolina. It It interesting to know that tbe nurseries in tbe State range in size from three acres to 22) There is one of 215 acres, oue of 150, two of 00 each, and two nurseries of 35 each, which raise ouly native ornamental plants. Six persons who had come here to at tend the Institution for the Blind as pupils were sent home upon the discov ery that they could tee pretty well. Qarrelt D. Ray, of Yancey county, who awns thelargest private collection of minerals In the State, is here. He has a warehouse full of them. Ue Is delight ed with tbe acope of the State Museum and surprised at It admirable arrange ment.

Votes Cast For W. P " to be Count fd fur "IV. S." Lonti st In Louis ville I Over H-e of Militia (JoTfrnor Bradl' ) 'it Position. Special to Journnl. LoriHVtiXB, Ky , November lii -Judgo Jones, Democrat, today gianled tbe mandatory i njunction which was asked for by the Republicans of Gias gow, Barren county. The Injunction is to compel tbe Goe bel Commissioners of Nelson county lo correct mistakes in their certificates of election, In which they counted 1,198 votes as having been cast for W. P. Taj lor, instead of for W. 8. Taylor. This is considered as a clear gain by the Taylor party for their man and as a block to Goebel. Louisville, Ky Nov. 17 Attorneys for William Goebel today filed notice with the local election board, asking that the vote of tbe city of Louisville be thrown out. They claim that the elec tion officers and voters were Intimidated by the militia, ordered out by Governor Bradley on November 7th. If the elec tion board throws out the vote of Louis ville, Goebel will have a safe plurality. FkakkfoRT, Ky., Nov. 17 The pro position today from Goebel's lawyers 10 throw out the entire vote of Jefferson county, which includes Louisville, was not wholly unlooked for by the Repub lican leaders. It is now said Senator Debou's visit here last night was for the purpose of ascerta'ning definitely to what txtei.t Governor Bradley will support Taylor in the event tbat Goebel is given tbe cer tificate of election, based on this pro ceeding. DeBoo says he is satisfied Bradley will stand by Taylor and will vigorously re sist Goebel. Senator Lindsay will be asked to act as one of the attorneys for the anti-Goebel side before the Stale Election Commission. Taylor's lawyers claim that the vote of Johnson and Knox counties, at least, must be counted as certified. Tuey have not given an opinion as to the bearing of this ruling on the Jefferson county case. If Jefferson county is thrown out the political complexion of the Legislature will be affectod, as one senator and seven representatives will have to be elected under a special election called by the Governor, Dr. W. Wixon, Italy Hill, N. Y., says: "I heartily recommend One Minute Cough Cure. It gave my wife imme diate relief iu suffocatidg asthma " Pleasant lo take.
