There arc some of oar subscribers falling behind to such an extent in their subscription accounts, and the same are so much needed by us at present, that we have to request their early attention to the same. As there was one Republican can didate for Congress in this district, so made by the action of the Republicans of two counties, Crawford and Butler, the sole and whole responsibility for a second candidate being put forward rests on the county or parties thus making it and endangering the district with this second candidate. IF Mr. Miller saw the error of his way and was, as stated by the Mercer Dispatch, of last week, now "ready and willing to join with Mr. McJunkin and from a conference and hear the Dick-Miller contest," why had he not the Roberts party at Greenville ? And if it was "sufficient time" he wanted at Mercer, and did not then want to do anything "rashly," bow does it come that at Greenville last week he did not consent to the time asked for by Mr. McJunkin to consult with the other parties interested, but went on "rashly" and had himself declared a nominee, thus placing two candidates in the field ? And where does the re sponsibility rest for this second candi date ? Ma. MCJUNKIN baa the perfected and completed title of two counties of thia district as the Republican candi date for Congress ; Mr- Miller has that of one county. Which is therefore the regular nominee ? Suppose the nomi nation had been made by the three counties, in amicable conference, as here tofore, would not the action of two have boand the other one in a party sense ? In this case the action of the County Committees settled the disputes arising in the only full and regular conference that was called; is their action not as binding upon all three counties as if settled in the conference itself ? Any opposition now is of a personal char acter and will be treated as such by the Republican party. The Democrats and "Resumption." The "doctrines and traditions" of the Democratic party are a little mixed on the question of the resumption of specie payments now existing, as will be seen by the following from their platforms of 1876 and 1880. This year at Cincinnati they said: "The Democrats of the United States in Convention assembled, de clare: First. We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and tra ditions of the Democratic party as il lustrated by the teachings and exam ple of a long line of Democratic states men and patriots and embodied in the platform of the last National Conven tion of the party." In order that the voters may under stand what the patriots of the Democ racy did employ in the "platform of the last National Convention," (1876) we shall refresh their memory by pub lishing a few extracts: "Reform is necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and maintain the national honor. "We denounce the failure to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people and the non-payment of which is a disre gard of the plighted faith of the nation. "We denounce the financial imbe cility and immorality of that party which, during eleven years of peace, has made no advance toward resump tion but instead has obstructed re- Humption, by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus income ; and while annually professing to in tend a speedy return to specie pay ments, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As such a hin drance we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875 and we here demand Us repeal* The qnery is, now that resumption has been accomplished by the Repub lican party, in spite of the demands of the Democracy for resumption on the one hand, and its bitter opposition to it on the other, are they still in favor of the platform of 1876 ? Will Uncle Jake, our esteemed brother of the Democratic Herald, of this place, please rise and explain ? EFPBOT OF MEDDLING. The Pittsburgh Dispatch and Com mercial-Gazette, particularly the Dis patch, have bad more to do in produc ing a second candidate for Congress in this district than perhaps all other causes. This may not have been their purpose, but was the direct effect of in terference in outside matters they either did not understand or take the trouble to examine. When the atten tion of the Dispatch was recently di rected to an error it made, as to the action of the Butler conferees at the Mercer conference, July 6, and the evi dence was sent it showing the very thing was proposed there by the But ler conferees which it suggested should have been done by the Butler and Mercer conferees, as to the mode of settling the dispute in Crawford coun ty, it failed to correct itself and thus place the Butler conferees right in a matter in which they had acted at Mercer precisely as it said should have been done. It seems to us if the Dis patch or others outside will interfere editorially with the business of others they should at least be fair and hon orable enough to correct themselves when incorrect statements are brought to their notice. OBAWFORD CO. COMMITTEE. A MAJORITY BUBTAIN THE ROBERTS MCJUNKIN NOMINATION. The Republican County Committee of Crawford county, re-assembled on Monday the 2nd inst., for purposes connected with the Congressional trou ble in that county. Thirty-six of the Committee were present being a ma jority of the whole committee, recog nized and seated Mr. William H. An drews, of Meadville, as its Chairman. Mr. Andrews was the Chairman pre viously chosen by the friends of Dr. Roberts, one of the candidates in Crawford for the Congressional nomi nation of the same against Mr. Dick. This action of the Crawford Commit tee, in recognizing Mr. Andrews as its proper and rightful chairman, settles the question in Crawford as to which, Roberts or Dick, was the proper and rightful nominee for Congress of that county, and therefore settles and justi fies the action of the Butler Conferees at Mercer on July 6th, in organizing in the manner they did with the Rob erts conferees and making the nomina tion of Mr. McJunkin they then and there did. And thus we have now the action of two counties, Butler and Crawford, of the three composing the district, ratifying, sustaining and en dorsing Mr. McJunkiu's nomination. Mercer, the other county, it is pre sumed, under these circumstances, will sooner or later also ratify the same and thus settle all questions as to our nomination for Congress in this district. The Crawford Committee on the 2nd inst., also passed the following among other resolutions: Resolved, That it is indeed gratify ing to this Committee, and doubtless to the majority of the %rdent Republi cans of Crawford county, to learn that in the interest of party peace, the But ler County Republican Committee last Saturday, by its re-assembled County Convention of Return Judges, who by their party rules constitute their County Committee for the year, took the same view of the controversy in this county as is expressed in the fore going resolutions, by approving of the action of their conferees, who at Mer cer on the 7th day of July last recog nized the Roberts conferees from this county, and also approved the action of the Mercer conference, that nominated Hon. J. D. McJunkin for Congress, at the same time ratified Mr. McJunkin's nomination, and refused by a decisive vote to send conferees to Greenville next Thursday to take part in any meeting or assemblage at that place looking to put another candidate in nomination for Congress in this dis trict. Resolved, That no candidate for office need invite the Republican party to subordinate its interest, welfare or honor to any man's selfish ambition, for it has no inclination in that direc tion, and well understands that it can not afford to become the indorsers of wrong, for the gratification of the as piring, realizing that the principles of right and equality upon which our party was established are everlasting, and that men are perishable. Resolved, That any attempts by unfair or even questionable means to ignore the vote and voice of any dis trict for the purpose of promoting the cause, or advancing the interest of any candidate at the expense of another, is revolutionary in action and character, and cannot be too severely denounced and condemned, inasmuch as it is demoralizing and destructive to any party that stains its record with any such dishonor. <• Resolved, That it iS"ai poor service to render a party, for wrong doers to clamor for the consummation of a wrong, or to condone it under the plea of saving the party, or harmonizing the organization, inasmuch as peace and harmony are not the offspring or children of violence and wrong, the truth being that right and even-handed justice always produce and insure peace and prosperity. Resolved, That we know of no bet ter way of promoting harmony and in suring success in any to our party, than in dealing honestly and justly with all. Resolved, That in recognizing W. H. Andrews as Chairman of the County Committee, we but sanction the action and obey the wish of a clear majority of the Return Judges of the late County Convention, as ex pressed by them in writing before any division or separation of them, all of which is respectfully submitted. J. A. STONB, S. SLOCUM, J. C. DAVISON, H. C. KINO, PAUL BLACKMER. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Alter three hearty cheers for W. H. Andrews, the Chairman of the Repub lican County Committee, and Garfield and Arthur, the committee adjourned to meet at the call of the Chairman. fglf* DtafcU* : Wntbext P«., Xt, 1880. THE GREENVILLE SIDE SHOW. THE DECEPTION DISSECTED. Were it not that the proceedings of the meeting at Greenville Inst week, of Messrs. Pick and Miller with their Congressional Conferees, has an impor tant bearing upon Republican success in this Congressional district, they might justly be treated with the ridicule they deserve. While it was well known those two candidates did all they could at the Mercer Conference to prevent an organization of the same unless Mr. Dick obtained an unfair advantage over his contestant, Mr. Roberts, and while it was known they refused to participate in or be bound by the nom ination of Mr. McJunkin then effected, and after the same was made had agreed with themselves to have a meeting of themselves at Greenville on August 5, still it was not supposed they would take the responsibility of placing in the field another Republican candidate for Congress in this district. And, while at the Mercer Conference, July 6th, it might be granted, for the sake of argument, that they represented as matters then stood, the half of the district, one whole county, Mercer, and half of another, Crawford, con tested by Messrs. Dick and Roberts, yet matters stood very differently by the time the Greenville meeting had arrived, August sth, inasmuch as the Republicans of Crawford county had in their meeting, August 2nd, through their County Committee, met and dis posed of the contest between Dick and Roberts, just as the Republicans of Butler county had on the previous Saturday, July 31, met and put to rest all cavil and question as to who was tl«, rightful candidate of this county. Let it be noted that this set tlement of the Crawford county con test was brought about, purposely so no doubt by the Republicans of that county, be/ore the time for the Green ville meeting had arrived, and the Roberts' party having prevailed, and he Roberts declared and ratified as the only true and regular nominee of that county, Mr. Dick's claim was ended and his right to have conferees any where consequently was ended. Yet we find Mr. Dick at Greenville with conferees. But we do not find Mr. Roberts there, nor was he and his conferees invited, expected or wanted there. Mr. McJunkin, claiming to al ready be the regular candidate of the district for Congress, by the Mercer conference, of course could not go there or do anything to impair or put in question the validity of his nomina tion without first consulting all par ties interested and assisting to make it. And this thß more especially since the recent action of the county Gom mitties of the two counties of Craw ford and Butler had ratified and affirmed his nomination, and thus cured any defect that wad alleged to exist in the same by reason of it be ing at first made by Butler and only the half, the Roberts side, of Craw ford county. Under the above statement of facts, as they took place and existed before and up to the date of the Greenville meeting, we will now proceed to show the want of sincerity in the telegram sent by Mr. Miller to Mr. McJunkin from Greenville on the evening of Aug. 5, inst., by which it will be seen it was nothing more that another trick and plan to entrap Mr. McJunkin. After saying in his telegram that he and his conferees were at Greenville "for the purpose of organizing a Con gressional Conference for the 26th dis* trict," a thing he well knew had been done at Mercer last July, he proceeds to say as follows : "They are desirous of meeting the conferees of your selection who will represent the party in Butler county, and with them alone organize a con ference, hear and decide the contest in Crawford county, and then proceed to the further business of the conference." Now laying aside, for the present, the fact that the hearing and deciding of the Crawford contest was the iden tical thing he stubbornly refused to do at Mercer, on July 6, thus break ing his agreement with Butler county, and thus making all this trouble, and in charity giving him the benefit of re pentance, and of an acknowledgment of his then error and wrong doing, still there are one or two questions that it will be hard for Mr. Miller to answer. And, first, it was well known that neither Dr. Roberts or his conferees were at Greenville last week, nor had been in vited to be presant there. How then, we would like to know, could the Mer cer and Butler conferees, even if there proceed to "hear and decide the con test in Crawford county" ? How could they "hear and decide" with one of the parties not present there ? What sense or propriety was there in getting up the sham of a telegram to Mr. McJun kin asking him to drop everything and fly to Greenville by the first train and in speed and haste "hear and decide" a case when but one of the parties (Dick) was invited and there present? And from this alone is not the deception of Mr. Miller's telegram apparent ? It was gotten up for appearance sake and as a make weight in his case, aud is but an other illustration of his vacillating and trifling movements all through this matter. Mr. McJunkin however treat ed his telegram with due respect, and answered that he must have time to consult the other parties of the district. This answer was not sent to the Pittsburgh press of last Saturday, Mr. Miller manfully suppressing it and start ling the country with the announce ment that he had nominated himself at Greenville. If he had been sincere he would have agreed to the time neces- sary to again get all parties together. He did not expect Mr. McJunkin to run to Greenville under the circum stances. And he carried out his plan at Mercer, to act with I'ick alone as the Crawford couuty candidate that he alone recognized. His ultimatum at Mercer was, that the Dick party must be admitted to the conference at its first session. He has now a bogus nomina tion by that same party, rejected in its own county. It has been alleged that the Mercer conference acted in haste and that it should have adjourned without then nominating, but from the above action of Mr. Miller at Greenville it will be seen he was in tent on his own nomination, such as he has got, and not on harmony. And be ing now wholly and solely responsi ble for a second candidate being put upon the district, the Republicans of the district, when they have all the facts before them and come to fully consider his course, will have but few votes to throw away upon Mr. Mil ler if he continues a candidate. DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF. The policy of the Democratic party on the question of protection to our in dustries has been so distinctly set forth in their platform, both in that of four years ago, at St.Louis and, in the re cent one at Cincinnati that nominated Gen. Hancock, that there can be no mistaking their position on the same. In 1376 at St. Louis they said : "We denounce the present tariff levied upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretense. We demand that all Custom House taxation shall be only for revenue." In 1880, at Cincinnati the same doc trine is repeated as follows : "a tariff for revenue only." The only variation being in the position occupied by the word "only." In 18T6 it was "only for revenue," and in 1880 it was "for rev enue only." And thus the country will see that the Democrats exclude the idea of "protection" entirely and look "only for revenue" in laying on our tariff on foreign articles that coqie in competition with American labor and skill. The Republicans on the other hand recognize the right and duty of the principle of protection in laying on the tariff on foreign importations. And only by that principle can our manufacturers and mechanics compete with cheap foreign labor. THOSE TELEGRAMS. The following are the dispatches that passed between Mr. McJunkin here and Mr. Miller at Greenville last week, other than the one of Mr. Miller published in the Pittsburgh papers last Saturday, and found in another place of this paper : BUTLER, PA., Aug. 5, 1880. Hon. S. H. Miller, Greenville, Pa ; Your dispatch expressive* of the de sire of your Conferees received. In view of the recent action of the County Committies in Crawford and Butler counties and without consultation, which would require time, I cannot at the present further respond to your in quiry. J. D. MCJUNKIN. MR. MILLER'S REPLY. GREENVILLE, PA.,7 Aug. 6—10:30 A. M. > Hon. J. D. McJunkin: The Mercer county Conferees in struct me to say in reply to your tele? gram that they yield to your request for time, with the qualification that you give them a definite answer prior to five o'clock this afternoon, S. 11. MILLER. MR. M'JUNK.IN.B RePLY. Hon. S. H. Miller: Impossible for me to answer your last dispatch by five. When I get in formation for which I have been wait ing for some hours, if I do get it I will answer fully. J. D. MOJcnkin. Notwithstanding the above replies of Mr. McJunkin, Mr. Miller goes on and has himself placed in the position of a nominee, although he had sum moned Mr. McJunkin there to hear the Crawford county contest, and al though the Crawford county parties were not both present there. More ap parent insincerity could not well be imagined. And the attempt is now made to bolster up the bolter by al leging that he never had refused to join with the Butler conferees and hear and act upon the Crawford county contest, while it was notorious and public to every body at Mercer, July 6, that he did so refuse, and is a fact that can be proven by a hundred affida vits, of citizens of all three counties there at the time. Certainly it is not exoeeted that the addition of falsehood will benefit Mr. Miller in this mat ter. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. ANOTHER ACT IN THE DRAMA WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BE. [From the Titusville (Crawford county) Uer.Uil. The nomination of Hon .J. I). Mc- Junkin for Congress in the Twenty sixth Congressional district, which took place at Mercer on the 7th day of July last, is a matter of history. The circumstances under which it was made are already familiar to all. The then action and there pursued, and the nomination made on that occasion, has since been overwhelmingly endorsed and ratified by the Republican County Committees of both Butler and Craw ford counties. Under these circum stances, we believe every true Repub lican in the district wfll recognize the regularity and binding authority of the nomination, and cast their votes for Mr. McJunkin. The nomination of Mr. Miller on Friday last at Greenville, for the same office can, therefore, have no other effect than to disorganize and distract the party, and if Mr. Miller persists in run ning, he may draw oil' sufficient num= ber of Republican votes from Mr. Mc- Junkin to deliver over the district to the Democracy. Should such a result follow, Mr. Mil ler alone will be responsible for the loss of a Republican member of Con gress, as well as several Republican members of the Legislature. Every body can >ee th s, and we believe Mr. Miller is too shrewd a politician to al low his nnme to be used for any such purpose, or to assume responsi bility. Before many v.eeks have elapsed, Mr. Miller will, we doubt not, see that the withdrawal of his name is the only road to party unity und party success in the coming campaign. If Mr. Miller was given to under stand or at any time was led to believe that Butler and Crawford counties would repudiate the action of the con ferees that met and placed Mr. Mc- Junkin in nomination at Mercer, the subsequent action of the Republican County Committees of the counties of Butler and Crawford must now have convinced him to the contrary. If, then, he persists in going into the contest, he does it with his eyes open, well knowing the consequences both to himself and the Republican party. The Karns City Telephone of Aug. 7, refers to the Congressional question as follows: J. D. McJunkin, Esq., received a dispatch at Butler, on Thursday, from the bolting Congressional Conferees at Greenville, Pa., to be present at their meeting; but, owing to the action of the Republican County Committee at Butler, last Saturday, Mr. McJunkin could not accced to the invitation. —The Meadvilie Index, and The Blooming Valley (Crawford county) Advertiser are both active in the sup port of the nomination of Mr. McJun kin of this county for Congress. The independent press of the district gen erally say a good word for him. The Eagle of this place, controlled by Mr. Robinson, the defeated caudidate for Congress, is the only paper professing to be Republican in this couuty that opposes him. And this too after the Republican Couuty Committee met and by its action said Mr. McJunkin's nomination was fair and riffht. This bolting of a Republican nomination will be remembered and come home to roost hereafter. —From all we hear, from all parts of the county, the placing another and second Republican candidate in the field for Congress in this district, will only have the effect of increasing Mr. McJunkin : s majority at the polla in November. —This has been a bad year for rings in politics. —Since Mr. Robinson has not had honor enough to raise the name of his successful competitor the general ex pression is, that he has killed himself politically forever. Were he a oandi* date now he would not get half the votes be did last May. TH±] LAST DITCH. BUTLER HEARD FLLOM—MR. M'JUNKIN ON THE HOME STRETCH —THE DICK, ROBINSON GAME BAGGED. [From The Blooming Valley, Crawford county, Advertiser, of August I.J And no\y it is Butler county that has been heard from, and she speaks in tones not to be misunderstood. Our readers will remember the trick resorted to by the sympathizers of Mr. Dick and his adherents and hench men in this county when it was dis covered that Dr. Roberts had beaten him by the popular vote of our prima ries, which was to throw out enough Titusville votes to give Dick a major ity, which Marsh, Guthrie, lleisinger, Bole and Roddy supposed they had succeeded in doing, until by a close calculation they ascertained that 30 was not a majority of 00 return judges. Inasmuch as 30 was all that the ring couid muster Reisinger declared the Second and Fourth wards of Titus ville have out and Mr. Dick uomi nated. This done did not change the minds of the portion of the return judges who desired a fair count and an honest de cision, who counted all the votes prop erly returned, and declared that the re sult nominated Mr. Roberts, and ap pointed conferees to meet conferees from Meroer and Butler oou.itiea to place iu nomination a district candi date. When the district conference met at M. •rcer, Mr. Dick's friends desired an adjournement for a month, really for the purpose of giving time to fly the tail of his kite in Butler. Mr. Robin son who had promised to reassemble the return judges in Butler county, who are by virtue of their election as return judges made and constituted the County Committee for the year, and select and send to Greenville, a staff of conferees opposed to Mr. Mc- Junkin's nomination, who were to nominate Mr. Dick, or Miller of Mer cer, thereby taking the responsibility of placing a second candidate in the field, but the move, the movers and projeetors.have suddenly come to grief, as the reassembled Butler convention shouts hurrah for McJunkin; long live the Mercer Conference that nomi nated him. All honor to the Republi cans of Butler county for their refu sal to strike hands with a candidate who having fairly lost his own county uses men under obligations to him, to engage in a disreputable game by which he hoped and expected to disre gard the will and voice of the party, and enforce himself again upon the or ganization as a candidate when he was not wanted in the first instance. The game was deeply laid, but was so monstrous i:i conception, outrage ous in manipulation, that its consu mation was too disgusting and loath some to be seriously contemplated by the bettor elements of the party, at home aud abroad. The game was this: Mr. Dick to go to the Conference at Greenville with conferees fraudulently ami unfairly selected, there to meet a bolting set of conferees from Butler, all to set down with Mr. Miller, when all would be lovely, and Mr. Dick nomi nated; but alas, the bubble busts and their hopes of a Butler co-operating delegation vanishes into thin air. How are the mighty fallen ! Jay Gould's Great .Railroad Scheme. WASHINGTON, August 3.—Jay Gould, like other great men, has a weakness on which he prides himself, and that is a passion for being myste rious. Some of those in his employ are not secretive, however. A maq who happens to be in Washington discloses to-day one of the gigantic schemes of the Pacific road king. It seems that he looked very jealously la.-t wiuter at the progress being made by the Northern Pacific people toward securing an ex- tension of time for the construction of the road w hout forfeiting their im mense land urant. The company suc ceeded in inducing the House Com mittee to report >n favor of a year's extension t hat appears to have ad mouished Gould thought that it was time to bestir himself. He was decided upon a coup d'etat that will be a severe blow to the Northern Pacific enterprise or else hurry its manager up materially Gouiu's plan is none other than to head off the new road by a branch of the Union Pacific running to Puget Sound. He has had th" mountains fnll of surveying parties this summer. They have pushed their exploration rapidlv in all direction to discover the best route for the new enterprise, taking Cheyenne as a starting point. Gould has two objects in.view. He will get to Puget Sound ahead ot the other fel lows with their road, for one thing, but he is also confident that he can make a half way stopping place, as it were, that will pay—that is at the National Park, on the Yellowstone. He thinks he can turn thousands of summer tourists in this direction that will ensure the profitable venture thus far, and afford a new starting point whence be can push and cross the un known wilderness to the Pacific shore. He is looking every day for his sur veyors of the first hundred miles to re port, and will decide upon the course and undertake to build this much be fore January Ist next. He thinks he will pass within twenty miles of Fort Larimer, and thence on to the vicinity of Fort McKinnie, where the road will lead west through the Big Horn coun try to Yellowstone Park. From this point nothing Is fixed as to the route, but surveyers are looking over the country, and it is believed that the best track will be discovered alonj? Snake river and across the south of Bitterroot Mountains. The speed with which the enterprise is pushed from the National Park will depend some what qpon thu progress made by the Northern Pacific Company, as Gould's only oliject ivS to forestall them or freigbtcn them into suspension of work if possible. He will not easily yield the monopoly of the Pacific coast business. He will also build a branch from the new line near Larimer to the seaboard, thus opening the Black Hills by a route that wiH make unnecessary further parley of the Chioagq North western fop the right of way form Fort Pierre across the Sioux reserva tion. Republican Meeting. There will be a Republican meeting held at Sarversville, on Saturday even ing August 21. Gen. Eckley is ex pected to address the meeting. There will be a meeting cf the Republican olub there next Saturday evening. Burrows' Fight. LONDON, Aug. 4. —The Viceroy of India telegraphs the following report from Gen St. John under date of Candahar, July 29th: General Bur rows marched from Kusbk-i-Nakud on the morning of the 27th, having heard that Ayoob Khan's advanced guard had occupied the main road three miles from the latter place. The ene my's cavalry appeared, advancing from the direction of Hyderbole. The ar tillery and cavalry engaged them about 9 o'clock in the morning. Shortly af ter the whole force of the enemy ap peared formed in line of battle, with seven regimeuts of regulars in the cen tre and three others in reserve, 2,000 cavalry on the right, 400 cavalry and 2,000 irregular infantry on the left, and other cavalry and irregulars in re serve, and five or six batteries of guns, including one of the breech-loaders; the total force being 12,000. The ground was slightly undulating. The enemy were in the best position. Uu till 1 o'clock in the afternoon the action was confined to artillery fire, wbioh wag so well sustained and direoted by the enemy that our superior armament failed to compensate for the inferior number of guns. After the rifle fire began our breech-loaders told, but the vigorous advance of the cavalry against our left and of the Ghazis along the front cause the native in fantry to fall back in confusion on the pijfty-sixth Regiment, abandoning two guns. Our formation being lost, the infantry retreated slowly, in spite cf the gallant efforts of Gen. Burrow's to rally them, and were cut off from tho cavalry and artillery. This was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the camp followers and baggage were streaming toword Candahar. After a severe fight in the enclosed ground General Burrows succeeded in extri cating the infantry and brought them Into line In retreat. No efforts would turn the fugitives from the main road, which is without water at this season of the year, and thus a majority of the casualties occurred from men falling from thirst and exhaustion. The enemy's pursuit continued tQ within ten miles from Candahar, but was not vigorous. The cavalry and artillery with a few infantry reached the banks of the river Argandale, forty miles from the scene of action, at 7 o'clock next morning, may not having tasted water since the previous morning. Nearly all our ammunition wa3 ] ostj as also were 1,100 rifles and two nine pounder guns. Our lost is estimated : Killed and missing, Sixty-sixth Regi ment, 400; Grenadiers, 350; Jacob's Rifles, 350; artillery, 40; artillery, sappers, 24; cavalry, 60. The Du ranis have been expelled from Can dahar. Provisions and ammunition are plentiful. Bully for Tanner. Contrary to expectation, Tanner ac complishes! his forty days fast, though not without great sn.Toring, and the danger may not be over yet. Any im prudence or excess in eating may be disastrous and fatal, and he will be put under the strictest regimen least he may give loose rein to his appetite. The pluck and endurance exhibited by the Doctor of course make him a sort of hero, and if he should care to make money out of his notoriety by appear ing on the lecture platform, he could draw like a mustard plaster. As thi3 founder of a new school of medicine, with nothing to eat and sls a week for board, he probably would not lack for patients and disc'ples. As an eligible match, it will be seen that already he has only one rival to fear, and that is—S. J. T., if the papers tell half the truth. It is said that Col. Roberts has tendered him the hospi talities of the Brunswick Hotel, which may lead to his establishment of a "Great Stomach Tester, and an Asy. lum for the Expulsion of Disease by Famine"—in the city of Titusville.— Titusville Herald.
