General Sloeum Claims that the House Is
Favorable to the Proposition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 - General Slocnm,
speaking to-day of the prospects of getting Gen
eral Grant upon the retired list, said there were
pending two bills which had that object in view
The first, which mentions General Grant by
name, passed the Senate, and has been for some
time on the Speakers table in the House; the
second, which passed the Senate with only
one dissenting vote, was so framed as to avoid
the difficulty expressed in the veto of the Fitz
John Porter bill passed the Senate while General
Slocum, under instructions from the military
committee of the House, was awaiting opportu
nifty to bring the first bill before that body
"Some friends of General Grant, said Repre-
sentative Socum, wanted me to call up the
second bill instead of the first which. of course,
/ could not do, as / was acting under in-
structions from my committee The House
committee then took up the two bills and dis
cussed them fully. The question Was whether

On the 22d the British encamped at Abu-Kru,
two miles south of Metemneh. The enemy
were most sparing in their use of ammunition
while defending Metemneh and only kept up
desultory fire. The rebel forces throughout all
the engagements have been well handled. It
is stated that two Europeans are among them,
which may explain this fact Female prisoners
state that the British fire decimated the enemy
who determined to remain inside Metemneh.
Five Of General Stewards steamers, contain
ing 500 soldiers and Ave guns, arrived at Gubat
on the 22d. All the troops and guns were landed,

the rebels.
It is reported that the Mahdi is sending
more troops and guns to Metemneh. On
the 22d, General Wilson, with four of
General Gordons steamers, q number of black

six guns, bombarded Shendy two hours, and al
most completely destroyed the town, but the
occupants Of whom there were few appeared to
be unwilling to surrender. The steamers after.
wards returned to Gubat, where o number OF
forts are being erected.
1t is stated that the Mahdi has a force of G, 900
around Khartoum. The population Of Khsr-
toum is now estimated at Ia, 900.
A convoy has gone to Gakdul to fetch stores
and ammunition. The inhabitants of Metemneh
are apparently in hiding as scouts are able to
see only few persons in the town.
The total British loss including the loss at
Abu- Klea, was 104 killed and ZIG wounded. The
enemys loss was 900 killed and wounded.
General Earle telegraphs from the Bahak cat

PITY the SORROWS Of a poor old man:
Whose trembling limbs have borne him to
our door,
Whose days are dwindled to the shertes st
Oh give relief and Heaven will bless your
store"
We were talking to a physician last
week, when a poor old man came in to
ask medical aid. The doctor gave 1t
freely, bat as the case would be pro-
tracted said he could give no more;
that the physicians here had entered
into a compact to save themselves from
a like de%stitntion, and he would COM
promise his word ii he violated it.
Now, Mr.. Editor. don't you think this
a hard case to both parties, and don't
you think the county court should be
more generous in its provisions for the
poor! especially if the epidemic SO
much dreaded among us. Lex
ington and vicinity are well provided
for, but what is to become of the suffer-
ing and needy in other townships?
The doctors cannot always give, though
the most generous class of mel in
America, save one-the editors-we
pit them against all creation, never
getting a days rest so long as connec-
ted with a paper, and the most migrate
fully rewarded. In behalf of these
poorer classes all over the county, we
beg you to draw the attention of the
court, which should appoint a physi-
clan in every township, or deposit
funds in the hands of some official TO
provide for cases like the one above
mentioned Lafayette county is able,
let her open her hand and not blush
to know, as we do, that some of her
citizens have died for want of aid SO
