A Brave Garrison Captured.
THE HEROIC BAND AT sINKAT CUT TO
PIECES.


LONDON, Feb. ID. The Standards
correspondent ut Suakim telegraphs as
follows: At last the heroic garrison
of Sinkat have been butchered. For II
fortnight they had been eating roots
and tree leaves. 1t was an entecbled
band, indeed, which SORTED to die
amidst the rebel hordes. Tewtik Bey
had harangued his men, saying that
by fighting they might save them
selves, but by remaining they must
die from hunger in u few days; flight
was impossible.
The men thus animated with Tewtik
Bey's spirit, destroyed the military
stores, exploded the magazine, filed
their pouches to the utmost with cart
ridges and issued forth, 600 strong,
against the rebels. Osman Degma's
hordes rushed to the attack. Tewtik
Bey and his men fought nobly. For u
long time they repulsed every attempt
to break their ranks. Finally superior
numbers prevailed, and with Il tire
mendous rush the rebels burst through
one of the sides of the Egyptian square.
\ general massacre ensued and not a
soul escaped.

The wrecked City of Columbus is
rapidly going to pieces, and no further
efforts will be made to recover proper

There is no hope of finding any more
bodies, as the wreck has largely fallen
apart and all traces of it will he washed
away by the next storm.

Gen. Grant is credited with saying
that he considers Gen. Logan the most
available candidate TO-. the presidency,
although he admits Senator Edmunds's
ability and fitness for the position.
Perhaps Gen. Grant thinks so, although
the modern newspaper interviewer puts
any words he pleases into his victims
mouth, but let us hope the country
will think differently from Grant on
the presidential question, and nOmI-
nate no Logan of whatever name.
IT cannot be denied that there is
more OF less apprehension about Gen.
Grants health. 1t was said at the time
of his fall on the side walk by his own
door some weeks ago that his hurt was
slight and it might have been under
other circumstances, but the fact re-
mains that the general has not got out
again. and some fear it may be the
beginning of break down. Gen
Grant is about 81 years old, Is heavy
and gross, though we see no charge
against him of dissipation farther than
living rather too well for the prolong
ing of the most robust health. Let Us
hope that his strong constitution vii
carry him over his present intirmitN
aud that a more abstemious life vii
rrnlnuU him to this country MANY
wears.
