Freaks of an Insane Man.
Darlington Democrat.

A man by the name of j, w.
Ward, reported to belong to the
town Of Millm, in Iowa county,
made his appearance i'll the town of
Kendall ON Monday afternoon last,
He reached the homo Of Mr.. Pat
rick McGuigan, at supper time,
coatleSs and shoeless, rushed in and
sat himself in n vacant chair at the
table, uninvited, but without any
Interruption. He devouled Il very
hearty meal, during which he made
so many foolish statements and
gestures, that Mr.. McGuigan at
once suspected the man to be in
sane. After satisfying his appetite
the fellow left as uncermoniously ms
he entered, clasping his hands and
jumping in the air. Mr.. McGuigan
thought it prudent to watch him,
SO he and his hired man started in
pursuit. The insane man ran like
a deer, with hat in hand, "yclling
like lunatic." He visited several
neighbors whom he almost scared
to death. McGuigan finally made
chase for the purpose of capturing
lin, and after some desperate fight
ing and struggling, in which Me
Gaigan got Il blow under the eye,
and the hired man his thumb in
the lunatic's mouth, the latter was
overpowercd and taken to the county
Jail. He was recognized by the Sher-
i'll as n person he knew, and his in
sanity doubted, hut after taking of
the cords that bound him, he dovel,
Qpcdstrong symptoms. Since writ
irg the above we understand that
Ward has undergone a medical eN-
animation, and has been pronoune-
ed insane.

DEFEAT OF THE zULUS.
Gallant Fight and Rout of the Savages
Lord Chelmsford Entitled to
the Laurels.

Gallant Fight and Rout of the Savages :
Lord Chelmsford Entitled to
the Laurels.
London, July 23.-In the house Of
commons to-day the government an
nounced the receipt of a telegram dated
Cape Town, July 8, stating that Lord
Chelmsford remained in camp until the
afternoon of July 8, awaiting the sur
render of the cannon and 1000 rifles
captured by the Zulus at Isandula.
These not arriving, he advanced and
was attacked in the open country by
Is, 900 Zulus, who fled, under the heavy
fire of the British. Lord Chelmsford
then advanced and destroyed Ulundi.
The Zulu loss was 800; British loss, 10
killed and five wounded.
The battle was fought ON July 4th.
The Zulus, variously estimated at from
1000 to 10000, surrounded the Brit
ish troops, who formed hollow square.
The Zulus charged the square on all
four sides. After the Zulus were bro
ken by the British fire they were pur-
sued by the cavalry and entirely routed.
Lord Chelmsford burned and destroyed
all tho military kraals and returned to
his camp the same evening.
A detailed official telegram from Lord
Chelmsford says: Cetewayo has not
only failed to comply with the demand
for return of the cannon, ETC., but
fired on our watering parties. I conse-
quently returned the cattle he had sent

| in, and ordered a reconnaissance by Col
Buffers horse. This caused the Zulu
army to advance and show itself. Or
the morning oi July 4th my force, con
sisting of Gen. Newdigate's division
and Gen. Woods column, aggregatine
four thousand Europeans and thous
and natives, with twelve cannon and
two Gatlin guns, crossed the Umoolosi
river at 6:15 a. IN. The force reached
an excellent position between Enad.
wengo and Ulundi about $50 a. m.
The Zulu army had been observed to
leave their bivouacs about 7:3O. The
engagement was shortly after begun by
mounted men. By 9 O'Clock the Zulu
attack was fully developed. By $3.50
the enemy wavered and the lancers,
followed by the remainder of the cav
airy, attacked them and general rout
ensued.
The prisoners state that King Cete-
wayo was personally commanding and
witnessed the fight from neighboring
kraal. They say that twelve regi-
ments, aggregating 10000 men, partic-
ipated in the attack.
Lord Chelmsford estimates that the
Zulu loss could not have been less than
1000 men. Ulundi was burning at
noon. The steadiness of the troops,
who at one time during the engagement
were under complete belt of fire, was
remarkable. The dash and enterprise
of the cavalry was all that could be
wished. Our fortified camp had been
left il charge of 900 Europeans and $50
natives, and portion of the Zulu
forces threatened at one time to attack
it. A large body of Zulus surrendered
after the battle, and they are also COM
ing in on Gen. Credlock's line of ad-
vance in large numbers.
London, July 23.-A correspondent
at Ulundi, under date of July A, says:
''It is stated that Cetewayo, five days
ago, sent four hundred head of cattle
with peace messenger to the British,
but they were stopped by one of the
Zulu regiments. who decla.ed that no
peace should be made until they were
beaten. The prisoners .say that Cete-
wayo opposed the war. They admit
that the entire Zulu force was present
at the battle. The Zulu loss is esti-
mated at 1,5OO. The two guns taken
at Isandula were found"
Capetown, July 23.-It is reported
that Cetewayo fled northward the day
before the battle of Ulundi.
