GOOD NEWS FROM GOkDON.
CAIRO, April l8.-Sir Evelyn Barring,
the English Minister in Egypt, to-day re-
ceived a letter from General Gordon,
dated Khartoum April 9th, in which he
says a merchant from Fl Obeid arrived at
Khartoum and reports that serious re-
volt against Mahdi had taken place among
the tribes there, who have hitherto been
the warm supporters Of the false prophet
Sheiks Of the Fazallat tribes are bccom'
ing dissatisfied at the Mahdi's admins
tration of affairs, and have openly re-
belled against him and withdrawn from
his camp.
The Mahdi summoning his supporters
and attempting to chastize the rebels, the
latter turned upon the Mahdi's forces,
and after desperate battle defeated
them, FL Mahdi losing heavily in the
battle. The next day the engagement was
resumed when the Mahdi was again de-
ieated with great loss. The FaZallat
tribes lost many men in both fights. The
merchant reports that when he left Ell.
Obeid the FaZallat tribes had Ell Mahdi
surrounded and would undoubtedly COM
pei him 70 surrender.

The Farmers Convention.

On Friday of last week a convention of the
farmers of the central counties was held in
Baltimore, about two hundred persons being
in attendance. The officers were as follows ::
President, VIM. Webster, of Hartford; Vice
Presidents, Thos s. Iglehart, Anne Arundel;
VIM. Baldwin, Hartford; Henry o. Devries,
Howard; G. S. Haines, Carroll; Samuel M.
Price, Baltimore county; Secretary, VIM: b.
Sands, Baltimore county. President Web
ster on taking the chair said he accepted his
selection as compliment to the Deer Creek
Farmers Club of Hartford county.
Peter Henderson, of New Jersey, made an
address on market gardening. Col. Robert
Beverly, of Virginia, spoke on feeding cattle.
He feeds 1900 head, and is the largest eastern
feeder. Ensilage, he says, is unwholesome
food for horses, but is suitable for cows. Sew
eral others spoke on the establishing of an
experimental Station.
The discussion of agricultural topics was
next taken up, 'The Feeding of Cattle" be-
ing first. Mr.. James Lee, of Hartford; Mr..
Chas T. Cockey, of Baltimore county; Mr..

''The Best Plan for Managing Manures'
was discussed for nearly two hours by at least
score of farmers. DR.. c. A. Lees, Balti
more county, replied to the query whether ii
pays to send milk to Baltimore dairymen.
He said that sending milk to Baltimore for Il
to IS cents gallon, after finding the cans and
paying freight, is Improbable. His farm
commenced paying better when he quit that
branch of the dairying business.
As soon as the official report of the proceed
ings is published we will give them to ouI
