From Egypt.

CAIRO, Nov 2l.-The man who arrived
here yesterday evening from Khartoum
says that the Mahdis position is eighteen
hours march from Khartoum. Disease is
making great ravages among the Mahdi's
followers, fully 100 of whom are dying
daily The Sheikh Mergana, with a large
force OF followers, has arrived at a point
midway between Kassala and Berber. His
purpose is to lend assistance to Gen. Cor
don. Advices from Wady Halfa state that
British troops are arriving there and de.
parting for tine front with noteworthy
rayidity. Essex and Cornwall regiments
are now on their way for Dongols. The
advance beyond Dongola will be impossible
for a month to come.

LETTER FROM CLARKE.

Correspondence of tho Alexandria Gazolte.)
BoYoEvILLE, Nov. 10.-We are all happy
here-the result OF the election atones for
al! the ills of the past, and the drought end
other minor owls are seldom spoken of.
Barryville holds her Notification Friday
night. We all waited until the thing was
settled before painting things rod.
There is little prospect Of rain here
now, aud we have 10 doubt if the explosion
of gunrowder continues az it has for the
last week copious showers will follow.
Dir. John billiard, Of this village, met
with serious accident yesterday evenin Z.
He was assisting in raising the rattars in II
large barn on the Carter Hail farm Of Mr..
George H. Burwcll, near Wildwood, when
he struck his head against raiter and fel!
distance Of % feet to the floor. His right
wrist was badly broken and his left dslo-
Gated, besides sustaining cuts and bruises
incident to fall of that distance. Doctor
Randolph, of NIillwood set the broken
bones and dressed the wounds but at this
writing it is impossible to tell the extent Of
Mr.. HIS. injuries He is a young married
men, and has family, consisting OF a wife
and five small children, dependent upon his
labor for their support
There is not much Of interest stirring
now. Everybody accepts the situation,
and the majority are glad over the result.
Already people who never attended an in
auguration are talking of the 4th of March.
and we have no doubt the crowd 10 attend
ance upon that occasion will exceed any
thing Washington has ever had.
But little wheat has come up in this sec
ton, but the grain is still sound. and if we
have rain and moderate weather it may
come out all right. We hope for the best.

The Croaker.

Oh, the melancholy croaker,
With his croak, croak, croak,
He can always tell funeral,
But never tell joke;
He, in his ready coffin,
Can drive nail, no doubt;
But with smiling visage
He nevsr draws one out.
Oh, the poor unhappy croaker.
Like revolving vane,
he antedates the weather,
Is sure it's going to rain;
He knows the crops are ruined,
His memory he joys
To prove that now the country
Is going to the dogs.
The dreary, weary croaker
Will have to die some day;
Perhaps hell 90 TO heaven
And walk the golden way;
But when the shining pavemeu,s
Bis gloomy eyes behold,
He'll shake his head and mutter:
"I-d.o.n't be- lisve they're-gold."

The BLAINE DIsEASE.-A prominent
Blaine man in the First ward had two fine
hogs, one of which he named James q.
Blaine, and the other he called John a
Logan. Blaine died yesterday with the hog
cholera, and John A. Logan is quite sick
with the same disease The Blaine sickness
is spreading, and it would seem that he
himself is suffering very much from the hog
cholera, or worse. \.
