proceeding seemed to give the of

The correspondent adds: Quite

have been seen watching the adj

fighting is expected until April l,
as Colonel Pearson signals that the
Zulus are concentrating close to
Ekowe.
Colonel Pearson signaled on
March 9th that $50 of the garri-
son were i'll and so wounded, and
that only 500 of his men would be
able to assist the relieving column,
for which $4,000 Zulus were lying
in wait.
Colonel Wood attacked Umbe-

captured a quantity of CATTLE
Subsequently a large force of Zulus
retool the cattle and attacked Col
onel Woods on the Goth. The
Zulus were repulsed after four
hours fighting. The Zulu loss is
reported to be immense. The Of
fetal report of Colonel Woods es-
Inmates the number of Zulus who
attacked his camp, at 10000 men.
The British had seventy-seven kill

entirely defeated and pursued a

The Ekowe relief column, num-

Lord Chelmsford and staff are

A number of prominent colored
men of st. Louis, Missouri, have
organized a society called the Col
ored immigration Aid Association
and elected ]. Milton Turner Presi-
dent, and Albert Burgess Secretary.
The association has been incorpo-
rated, and it is designed to make it
permanent. Its object, as stated in
its constitution, is to raise funds
for the establishment of colored
colonies and to aid the immigration
of colored men from the Southern
States to other sections of the
Union. It's Board of Directors is
not completed yet, but it will en-
brace some of the most active and
colored men in the city.
1t will also have an advisory board
of white men. Several prominent
and influential gentlemen have
promised to act in that capacity.
Between 800 and 400 refugees
arrived in that city last week, and
the relief committee is doing all in
its power to relieve their wants and
forward them to their destination.

Michigan.

Since 1852 Michigan has not beer
Democratic State. In that year
Michigan gave Pierce, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency
a majority of 745. Since that time
or since 1854, the State has been
Republican by majorities painfully
large. In 1872 the Republicans
had majority of 56,644 for the
governorship. Last year the Re-
publicans cast about $4,000 votes
more than the Democrats in Mich
igan. For a quarter of a century
the Republicans have enjoyed all
the honors and emoluments of Of
fee, State and national, belonging
to the commonwealth. When they
could count their majorities by
scores of thousands they were Sc
cure. Recently they have become
frightened.
To-day the Republicans are in
curing whether they have the
State by 1000 or $4,000 votes, or
by any majority. A greenback
party sprang up and polled 1888
votes last year, while the Republi-
cans only polled 126,2SO, and the
Democrats had 7S,503. Here was
cause for Republican alarm. A few
weeks ago the greenbackers aud
the Democrats of Michigan held
State conventions on the same day
and at the same place, nominated
the same ticket and adopted the
same platform. A cooperation
was proposed. 1t was thought best
to cast against the Republican par
ty and its plans all the votes that
were against it. 1t was believed
that the opposition to the Republic
can party should be as united as
the Republican party itself. The
attempt at cooperation was op-
posed, and bitterly, by many Dem
ocrats and by many greenbackers.
Why il is not easy to see. Some
of the newspapers representing
both of these parties fought the
union. The cooperation was not |
only opposed by portion of the
anti-Republican press-and the
Republican press is everywhere OPP
posed to it-but by some of the
Democratic leaders on the one hand |
and by greenback leaders on the
other, when the union should have
been cordial and complete. Had
the union of tho opponents of the
Republican party been united and
active, the. Republicans of Michi-
gan, forthe first time since the forma-
lion of the party, would to-day be
in a hopeless minority. Indiscreet,
short-shighted men, both
among greenbackers and Demo-
Gratis, prevented the fullness of the
triumph, but did not prevent it al
together. The Michigan Republi-
cans, accustomed to enormous ma
orities, have barely escaped de-
eat. The financial question had
not been discussed in that State
Till recently. The people of Mich
gan are representative of the peo-
pie of the great northwest. They

Concerning the Chicago lumber
trade, the Times contains the fol-
lowing:
At the lumber yards trade CON
tinues active on local and shipping
account, and the stocks are steadily
diminishing, but the prospects for
larger receipts than ever before
during the present season, tend to
keep prices down to bottom
figures. The winter and spring
lumber trade of the eighty-six
Chicago yards has been beyond
most expectations, and during last
month the stocks of sawed pine
lumber were reduced 6S,293,719
feet. The present local supply
amounts to 23I, 0O6,249 feet, being
IL, 502,737 feet less than the supply
of a year ago. The local supply
of sawed shingles amounts to $780,
10000, being 36,961,2 $50 more
than were held a year since. The
cedar posts on hand number 306,544
pieces; the lath number 24,5S7,479
pieces, and the pickets amount to
$40, 299 feet.
