- burg on Tuesday night the DAY
TeIepranh's war correspondent states that
women. children and other noh-coilloa'
ants were being sent south by train as
the enemy threatened TO attack the town
in force on Wednesday or Thursday
The Daily Telegraph's special corre-
spondent IN camp, telegraphing about the
same time, follows up this Information
with the assurance that, although the
situation IS disagreeable, 1t is not regard
ed as critical.
Everything confirms the inference that
the Beers are now in their utmost
strength at Ladysmith and were making
preparations for the investment Of tne
camp. 1t was to check or delay this move
ment that General White undertook the
action of Monday. which has so consider
ably reduced his forces.
The naval brigade will in a large meas
ure make up the loss. In the opinion or
the Telegraph's war correspondent the
earlier arrival of the naval contingent
would have altered the entire character
of Mondays fight AS it was they certain
" checked the determined advance OF the
Beers. who seem to have thought the time
had arrived. with the complete union Of
their three great columns, to strike final
blow at General Whites forces, so much
inferior in numbers to their own. General
Joubert viii never have such chance
again, for every hour brings nearer the
debarkation of an immense army.
In closing his last dispatch, which got
through from PietermaritZburg on Tues
day, the Telegraph's war correspondent
saws that defensive works were then in
Jadysmith. and it was expected the big
naval guns would be mounted at once.
I,adysmith. he also said, is provisioned
for two months.
All accounts concur in showing that
General Joubert's forces suffered severe
" from the British artillery fire on Mon
day. as they have done in every encoun-
ter.
The accounts that continue to arrive
regarding the fighting on Farquhar's
farm Monday only confirm its serious ma
ture and the narrow escape General
White had On this point the Morning
Post remarks:
Nothing tells such tale OF battle as

write defeat across the story, because

Powerful which. prevented a worse dis
aster. 1t seems that. when 1t was seen
that the retirement was imperative, two
Natal cavalrymen volunteered~to convey
q dispatch across the Boer lines to Major
Adye, ordering him to retire, but the risk
was considered too great and flag sig
mailing was employed instead. The dist
ance was too great and the ground too
rough for cavalry to go to his assistance.

SUNNY WOMEN.

Who has not known the woman whose

"sunny?" There's always laugh lurk-
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house

stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
can be crueler than to have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this is a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow. Every young wife should
know the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite

ervation of the health. 1t promotes
regularity, dries the drains which enfee-
bic body and mind, and cures infamma-

To the Editor of the Register
Sir:-I have the honor of requesting you
to publish this letter in your paper, as it
is the only paper in the State that did our
regiment justice. Columbus papers said
we were among those TO be mustered out.
Now our officers are doing all they can
TO have us kept in the service, by saying
that we want to stay in the service but
nine-tenths of the regiment want TO be
mustered out. We saw in the Huntington
pa per where Gov. Atkinson went 10 Wash
ingtOn to have us kept in the service, as
We want to stay. The officers want to
stay as most of them are making more
money now than they ever made, but the
men want to go home, as they came to
fight for their country: and now that the
fighting is all over. the privates want TO
be mustered out. There are hundreds of
men who ought to be at home with their
families. and there are some who have
big families at home, and are destitute
They carrot keep family on a private )

regiment, who is reported with his
brother as having arrived in San
Francisco on the transport Grant,
has had some very thrilling expert
ences in Manila. He was shot
through the shoulder Aug II last,
and later had to have the wound
opened on account of splinter of
the bullet that had not been found,
Just before he was wounded he
ruptured himself jumping over a
ditch This rupture didn't bother
him until the typhoid fever set on.
Then he was pulled down so much
that the doctors gave him up, but
on representations of his brother
about his good habits and the longe
witty of the family, they made
special effort and pulled him
through Very weak when the in
surgents began fighting, he rejoined
his regiment, but was too weak to
be of service Both the Wallace
boys are sons of j. Wallace of Dray-
ton, N. D., member of the legisla-
ture of that State.
