' WBUE FLAG AT MAFEKING .

The burgher j mee.-e ger was dotai ned for six hours and " b a released/' Abundant Rumore, But Reliable News. No London, Oct 19 -The Daily News Capetown correspondent says : "It is rumored here that news has reach ed Deaax jonction that the Boers attacked Mafeking in force, but were repulsed The defenders, seeing the enemy retreating, pushed them for some distance, allowing themselves to be driven in by the Boers, who, eager to retrieve their position, again advanced to the attack and were drawn over Lyddite mines laid for the defense of the town. It ie re ported that 1,500 Boers were killed by the explosion. "It is reported from Delagoa bay that the Swazi king, Banu, is collect* g his forces with the objected I Burnabi?, of attacking the Boers is Btated tbat the Portuguese io at Delagoa bay will be raised to strength "It ia announced from Prel tbat an eccentric person knowi Baron Deginsberg bas been cc martial ed and shot as a spy. P of tbe local forts were found in possession." The Capetown corresponden tbe Daily Mail, telegraphing at o'clock Thursday night says : "1 burg surrendered Sunday. Tonig dispatches from Kuruman, 90 n west by south of Vryburg, state the police having withdrawn i Vryburg, the town surrenderee the Boers, the inhabitants fleeing all directions, mostly toward Ki man When tbe police withdrew Cape Boers notified tbe fact to enemy, thus inviting them to 1 possession There was a fearful pa The British are wildly indignan this scuttling " The war office this evening iss the following bulletin : "No news of importance has b received from Natal today. ' cavalry attached to our forces Ladysmith and Dundee are en ga in observing the enemy's movemei Steps have been taken to secure j termaritzburg and Dnrban agai raids on the western frontier. "There is no recent reliable inti gence from Kimberly or Mafeki both places being cut off from r way and telegraphic communicati It is believed, however, that a si mish took place on Sunday, six m South of Kimberly and that the Bo were beaten off wilb some losses an armored train. There was so fighting at Mafeking on Friday Saturday ending with a repulse the attacking force "Boers in considerable numbers assembled opposite Aliway No and Betbulie, on the Orange riv Railway communication with I Orange Free State and the Transv has now ceased, the remaini refugees having been warned to lea by way of Delagoa bay." F. rst Serious Battle of Cai paign Fought at Glen coe. Glencoe Camp, Oct. 20, 2 50 p i ;-After eight hours of continuo heavy fighting, .Talana bill w carried by tbe Dublin Fusileers ai tbe King's Rifles under cover of well served artillery fire by the <Thi teentb and Sixty ninth batteries The, Boers, who threatened tl British rear, have retired. The figi was almost an exact counterpart thai; at Majuba Hill, except tbat tr positions of the Boer and B ri tis forces were reversed Geo. Symons was severely but nc dangerously wounded. Afternoon Toe battle today bas been a brilliai success Tbe Boers got a revere which may possibly, for a time s any rate, check all aggressive a< tion. The British artillery practice in th early part pf the day decided tb battle, The seizure of Dundee Hil by the Boers was a surprise for al though the pickets bad been exebang ing shots all night, it was not until i shell boomed over the town into tb camp that their presence was dis povered, then she i is came fast The bill was positively alive with tnt swarming Boers, still the Britisl artillery got to work with magnificen energy and precisiou. The batteries from the camp tool up positions to the south of the iowr and after a quarter of an hour' magnificent firing, silenced the gun on the biiis The correspondent could see shelli dropping among the Boer pieces witfc remarkable accuracy and doing tre mendcus execution, for the enemy were present in very large numbers and in places considerably exposed. The storming of the position by the King's Royal Rifles and the Dub lin Fosiieers was one of tbe roost magnificent sights ever witnessed. The firing of the Boers wa6 not 6o deadly as might have been expected froid the troops occupyi g such an excellent position ; but tbe infantry lost heavily going up the hili, and ouly the consummately brilliant way in which Gen Symons had trained them to fighting of this kind saved them from being swept away. In deed the hill was almost inaccessible to the storming party, and any hesi tation would have lost the day Tbe enemy's guns, so far as the corres pondent could see, were ail aban doned, for the Boers bad no time to remove them A stream of fugitives poured down the hillside into the valley, where the battle went ou with no abatement Gen Symons was wounded early in the action, and the command then devolved on Gen Yule It is feared Gen Symons is fatally hurt The enemy as they fled were fol lowed by the cavalry, mounted in fantry and artillery. The direction taken was to the eastward. At the latest reports the cavalry had not returned Some say that four and some say five guns were captured The Boer artillery firing was weak A lot of plugged shells were used Although the enemy's position was carried soon after I o'clock, scattered firing went on almost all afternoon v The British losses are very severe, but those of the Boers are much ! heavier. Tbe fiual rash wes made with a triumphant yell, and as the British troops charged to close quarters the enemy tamed and fled, leaving ali their impediments and guns behind them. While this was going on, one bat tery of artillery, the Eighteenth Hus sars, and the mounted infantry, with a part of the Leicester regiment, got on v the enemy's flank and as the Boers streamed wildly town the bilis, making for the main road, they found their retreat bad been cut off, but they raiiled for a whiie, and there was severe firiDg, with considerable loss to each side. Many of the enemy surrendered. A rough estimate places the Brit ish losa at 250 killed or wounded, and that of the Boers at 800 A newspaper correspondent states that through his glasses, during the fighting today,- he noticed how much the Boers seemed to be nonplused by the tactics of the imperial troops, especially of the well drilled, swift moving horsemen. The enemy are still, as of old, a mob They are without horses and forage and many of them rely for focd on what they can obtain by looting Their ani mais are mostly in a wretched condi tiou. It is understood that before today's battle several Boers had left their commandos and gone home to their farms and many othe s are now likely to follow. The movements of the commandoes in the Utrecht district are somewhat mysterious It ia supposed they have some idea of getting around between this place and Ladysmith MaDy Boers are reported to be falling back on their old positions They have been rais i g a series of fortification between Sandspruit and Dannhauser, their ob ject be Dg to contest the grand ad vance of the imperial troops Near Sandspruit camp they have a laager with several pieces of artil lery, and another behind Yolksrust. There are guns on Mount Fogwani, overlooking Laing's Nek and Ingogo heights are fortified. Growing Seed vs. BuyiDg Seed The South is the bonanza seed market of this country. We buy ail kinds of seed. We boy very maoy very hurtful and pestiferous seeds We are the dumping ground for all the oid, refuse, rejected. uneale able seed We have paid so little attention to this business that we are no judges of seeds Many of us do not know good seed from sorry Nor do we know that we can often grow better seed than we buy. Nay, we have been taught to believe that if a seed grows here it is not as good as if it grew in some other clime Our ignorance along this line, and oar belief of things that are false, costs is annually rallions of dollars We bny seed at high prices when we could have grown 88 good and often better at a very small cost. WHO IS TO BLAME ? We are not bringing any railing accusation against any man or set of men The seed dealers a-e as honest as other men. But there; are tricks and tricksters io all trades We must look to our interests. We are simply stating facts that have fallen under our observation. We have 6old seed, we have bought seed. We know what we are talking about. We buy turnip-seed, cucumbers beets, radishes, and so on through the list of garden seed. These seed will mature here just as well as any where. We pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for Eastern Irish potatoes every year. This is worse than use less. The potatoes grown here are better. This is emphatically true of our second crop. We have tried this for twenty years with gratifying euc cess. But very many of us go further than this ; we actually buy our heavy farm seed. We buy barley, iye, wheat, oats, grass, corn and cotton seed And yet we call ourselves farmeis If it were possible to reetore to the South the money paid for seed since the war, we would be the richest section of this country. Why, if any schemer offers us corn that grew so far away that it wiil only produce "Lincoln corn," or cottonseed from Africa even, called limbless, and from Egypt called lintless, or from India and called bollees, we just buy right along. Farmers, grow your o yn seed, and select them with care. Many men have grown rich by doing this. Many of the finest varieties of various species have been developed here in tho South. Young man. are you hunting a profitable position i Then let me say get a farm, and make it a seed farm. There is money, pleasure and inde pendence along this iine -Southern Cultivator.
