this respect only in its termination! For
no one can pass dav or really an hour
on Southern train without being thor
oughly regaled with full dose of braga-

Major Generals. And by the way did it
ever occur TO you that the rebel army was

army. This agreeable entertainment last

the crowd was one who apparently took
no particular notice OF any thing, his
greatest enjoyment seemed to be to re-

advices from Abyssinia, dated Zouala,
on the 18th of April, have been received
here. The very latest reports received
at that point from the scene of action
Ill Magdola, represent that ii, 900 native
troops had laid down their arms to
Napier, and that Theodous had 500
troops killed and | 800 wounded in the
late engagement,
Advices from Napier's headquarters
without date are received
They state that the Europeans lately
held captlves their numbering sixty
souls, including men women and chill

The entire force of Theodorus have
been either killed wounded or captur-

stand of arms 10000, sNbelds, such as are
used in open battle field by the Abyssini-
ans, 10000 spears and many other artlcels
of war equipment.
After the works were completely taken
King Theodorous was found dead by the
English soldiers, on entering the center
of his stronghold He was shot
through the head. Some of the persons
say he was killed in one of the battles
Others are inclined to think that he com
mittcd suicide when he found the for
tunes of the day turned against him.
The Kings body was recognized among
the wounded and slain by the English
captives when released Theodorus, two
sons were taken prisoners
The interior Of the Fortress of Mag
