General Woseey to Egypt. The official announce

preparations which have been in progress for some
weeks for an expedition up the Nile
resemble in great degree those which were
adopted in 1870 for the Red River expedition

means of opening communications with Heneral
Gordon again. But the government are OF the
opinion. having regard for the approach of the cool
season that no time should be lost in proceeding to
Major kitcheners assistance in case his mission

THERE are great many sore
heads among the regular Republic
cans in Albany and New York, for
the reason that they were led to be-
lieve the first boasts Of the State
and National Committee, and to bet
that Ohio had given 10000 Repub-
lican majority. Of course they lost
and are now bitterly denouncing
their leaders. Some of those who
were duped are among the best
workers for the Republican party
in the State.
