LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Daily Chrvn.
icle publishes the following dispatch,
dated Wednesday, Nov. 80, morning,
from its correspondent at Modder river
camp: .r
':The severest engagement our col.
umn has yet had and probably the &c.
verest Of the whole campaign was
fought yesterday on the banks of the
Modder river. The battle was waged
fiercely for nearly "A hours.
''The enemy occupied a strongly en-
trenched position, their front extending
Eve miles along the bank of the stream.
They were well supplied with artillery
and fought desperately.
"Our force consisted of the Second
battalion Of the Coldstream Guards,
the First battalion Of the Scots Guards,
the Third battalion Of the Grenade
Guards, the First battalion Of the North
umberland Fusiliers, the Second bat
talon Of the Yorkshire light infanty,
(the Kings Own), part OF thea First
battalion of the Loyal North !. Lanca-
shire regiment, the Ninth Lsncers, the
mounted infantry, three batteries Of
field artillery and the first battalion Of
the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders

"The latter reinforced us from Cen
eral Wauchepe's brigade aud arrived
just in time for the fight. The battle
started at daybreak, our guns shslling
the Beers left.
Awtui Hail sefs sDnllsts. S., S.. !.
the enemy rsflied will sillstS,
Hotchkisses and Maxims, and the
artillery duel lasted some hours. Then
there was a brief lull in the enemy's
operations, of which the general i'm
mediately took advantage. Our infan.
try advanced across the plain towards
the river, in two brigades. The guards,
on the right, were met by an awful
hail of bullets from the enemy's sharp
shooters, posted close to the river on
the opposite bank. Ours had no shelter
whatever, and were simply moved
down. 1t seemed impossible to live
through the terrible fire, but the brave
fellows did not retreat an inch. The
Boer fire was horribly accurate, and
they must have numbered at least
10000.
t'.The Scots Guards advanced 600
yards before they were fired on. Then
they had to lie down to escape the
deadly fusilade which lasted without
intermission throughout the day.
''The Highlanders made several at
tempts to force a passage of the river,
but they were exposed to such MUIR
derous enfilading fire that they had to
retire after they had suffered terribly.
subsequently party of the guards
got over and held their own for hours.
"The general opinion CT the staff is
that there had never been such sus-
tanned fire in the annals of the British
army as that which our troops had to
face yesterday. Our men fell in dozens
while trying to rush the bridge.
''Night put an end to the terrible
bloodshed. The infantry brigade was
terribly cut up.
.tThe Beers retreated at night, taking
their guns with them, and we are now
occupying their position. The enemy's
loss was tremendous"

The Cynthiana Democrat takes issue
with our assertion that II the Brownies
are democrats there IL nothing for
democrats to debate with them. There
are many things, IL thinks, between
them that can be settled only by de-
bate. For instance, whether Hallam's
face is closely related to cankerous
beef-steak, or whether his brother, his
cousin, his sister or his amt went to
the penitentiary, also how accurately
Mr.. Owens shoots craps and whether
the mention OF w. c. Pollard Breckin-
ridge il sufficient reference to him.
These are indeed momentous question 5
and but as 1t appears to us that they
have alLeady been settled to the satis-
saction OF most people, the incidents
might be closed.

FOf REPRESENTATIVE
ME-. NORTH.

THE watchword for the coming cam.
paign is to be harmony" The Ma
tional committee Ia session at Chicago,
adopted resolutions calling on demo-
Gratis every where, especially in Ken
lucky, to bury their differences, cease
factional quarreling and work loyalty
for the regular ticket. The democrats
Of Kentucky are especially appealed to
support the regular ticket headed by
Mr.. Goebel. No real democrat can afford
to do otherwise. 1t is worse than po
litical suicide to support the Brown
ticket, which is nothing more than
decoy. sort Of half way pretext
for those who do not want TO vote the
straight republican ticket. In reality
they had as we'll vote for Taylor, rs
every vote cast for the Brownies, helps
that much to elect him. The railroad
that originated the boiling movement
and which is paying the freight of its
candidates and MANY other bills, has
no hope or intention OF electing Brown.
Its only desire is to defeat Goebel, |
which can be done, il done at all, with |
Taylor. 1t is strange that democrats
can have the wool pulled over their
eyes so easily. The are tearing it off,
however, and are beginning to see
things in their true light. They are
awakening to the fact that without the
l.. & N. at its back with its millions,
the boilers ticket would go to the wall
in week. 1t seems about to go any
way and we predict that BY November
there wont be corporate guard to
throw away their votes on Brown. 1t
will be Goebel or Taylor then and we
hope and believe democrats will mark
under the rooster. That Is the only
sensible way and the only way that re-
publican maladministration can be
relegated to the past. Do you want
four more years of republican rule with
such creature as Taylor as the ruler :?
II not let us bury differences az the Ma
tional committee suggests and with
harmony inscribed on our banners,
march with solid phalanx to certain
victory.
