Faithful Servants.

The following Is an extract from a
Washington special to the COurier-Jour-
nal:
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 7.-Congressman
Van Eaton says the Mississippi delega-
ton are greatly disappointed at the
action of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee in refusing to make allowances
for any of the harbors along the lower
river Greenville, Vicksburg, Natchez,
all have been ignored. The committee
have decided to make a lump appropri-
alton for the river. and leave the Com
mission the business of applying the
fund. The Commission theory being
that of utilizing and concentrating the
current in its natural determination,
there seems little or no prospect of their
diverting any of the money for harbors
such as Vicksburg and Natchez, which
the river is leaving inland. The opera
ton of the Commission theory will only
confirm this shoaling and carry the
river further away from these points.
At Nicksburg the river is cutting of
the delta point and leaving Vicksburg
further and further inland. Equally 50
at Natchez; the current is carrying of
the Vidalia point and tending westward
| from Natchez every year. 1t is only a
matter of time when these places will
| be miles from water and compelled tC
move their business or employ railroads
Messrs. Van Eaton and George made
every effort to obtain hearing before
/ the committee, but without success
Indeed, the whole Mississippi delegation
turned out and endeavored, by personal
effort and solicitation, to secure some
favorable action; but all without avail
The committee were determined to leave
the River Commission unembarrassec
and would take no action other thon tn,
one agreed upon. In the case of Nat
chez, Messrs. George and Van Eaton
formulated memorial setting forth al
the facts, and this was submitted to tn,
commission, but the engineers made ;
report showing that the work woulC
cost seven hundred thousand dollars t
begin with and as much more to com
plete if the preliminary work shoul(
prove successful, and this killed th,
project.
AS things stand now the eRdeavors o
the Mississippi members have gone 70
nothing, although they have lahore,
earnestly and increasingly. The appro
priation goes in lump, and the Commits
sion will act in strict accordance witt
the plans already adopted. This will
lead to abandonment of ViGksburg an,
Natchez, the cutting off of Vidalia an
Delta points and the concentration o
the river current in straight line

AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
The British Forces Reach the Nile.

After the battle at Abu-klea which
was on the 18th of January, General
STEWART established a strong post,
where those who had been seriously
wounded in the battle were left with a
sufficient garrison. On the afternoon
of January IS, the forward movement
towards Metemneh was begun. After
passing the Shebacat Wells the British
forces moved to the right. This was In
accordance with instructions given by
Lord WoLsELEY, who had ordered that
In case Metemneh was found to be Oc-
cupied by the enemy, General STEWART
should make the effort to establish him
self at some point on the Nile between
Nehemiah and Khartoum. When less
than three miles from the river, on the
morning of January 10, the enemy ap-
peared in force some distance IN front.
The British halted for breakfast, and
established a temporary protection for
their wounded and the baggage, which
were left here under guard. Before the
advance was ordered General STEWART
was wounded and Sir CHARLES WILSON
assumed command. The British troops
were arranged, as usual, in the form of a
square, and advanced to meet the onset
of the savage enemy who were rushing
down upon them. The rebels did not
long stand before the English fire but
were repulsed with heavy loss. Five
Emirs and 250 men were left on the
| field, and many were wounded. During
the rebel charge the English troops
forming the assailed front moved down
men in such heaps that they form
ed obstacles to the success of the rebel
onslaught, and their center line was
brought to q standstill about sixty
yards from the British front lines
The force of the general movement
threw the unimpeded parts of the
rebel lines around the corners of the
square, and the rebels so displaced were
cut to pieces. The British loss is re-
ported to be twenty killed and sixty
wounded. Mr.. CAMERON, the special
correspondent of The London Daily Stan
dqrd, and MR HERBERT of The Morning
Post, were killed, and Colonel BUR
LEIGH of The London Telegraph was
wounded.
After the battle the British forces
advanced to the Nile at Gebat where
they are strongly intrenched. Five OF
General GoRDoN's steamers, conveying
500 soldiers and five guns arrived al
Gebat from Khartoum on January %
All the troops and guns we're landed
when the guns were turned on Met
emneh, without producing any effect ON
the rebels.
| We suppose that the next movement
of the British will be an attack on Mete
emneh which cannot long hold out. In
the meantime General GORDON is SAT,
at Khartoum and reported to be able tt
hold out for years.
