Secretary Evarts assured Captain Parsons that the case would receive the earnest attention of the department.

Gen. Burrows’ Retreat. BRILLIANT CAVALRY CHARGES AND SPLENDID WORK AT 105 A cablegram to the N. Y.

St.John, under date of Candabar, July 29th: Gen, Bur- rows marched from Kusbk-l-Nakud on the morning of the 27th, having heard that Ayoob Khan's advanced guard had occupied Main- waud. Three miles from the latter place the en- emys cavahy appeared, advancing from the direction of Hyderabad, The artillery and cav- alry engaged them about 9 o'clock in the morning. Shortly after ward the whole force of the enemy appeared, formed in line of battle, with seven regiments of regulars in the center, three others in reserve, 2000 cavalry on tae Tight, 400 cavalry and 2,000 irregular infantry on the left and other cavalry and irregulars to reserve, and five or six batteries oe inchid- ing one of breach-loaders, the total force being 12.000, ‘The ground was slightly undulating The enemy were ed in the best position. Until one o'clock in the afternoon the action, was confined to artillery fire, which was so well Sustatned and directed by the enemy that our supe..or armament failed to compensate for the inferior number of guns. After rifle fire gan our breech loaders told, but a vigorous advance of cavaliy against our left and of Ghazis along the front caused the native in- fantry to fall back in confusion on the 66th Reg itneng, abandoning two guns. Our formation befng lost, the infantry retreated slowly, in Spite of the gallant efforts of General Burrows to rally them, and were cut off trom the cavalry and artillery. This was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the camp followers ant beggage were ‘streaming toward Canda- har. After a severe in enclosed ground General Burrows su in extricating the infantry and brought them into Une in retreat. No efforts would turn the tugi- Uves from the main road, which ts without wa- ter at this season of the year, and thus the m1- ie, of the casualties occurred from the men falling trom thirst and extraustion. The enemy's ursuit continued to within ten miles from ‘andahar, but was not vigorous. The cavalry and . with a few infantry, reached the banks of the river Argandale, 40 miles from the Scene of action, at 7 o'clock the next morning, many not having tasted water since the pre- vious morning. Nearly all our ammunition was Jost, as also were 1,100 rifles and two 6-pound guns. Our loss is estimated as follows: Killed ant , ooth regiment, 400; grenadiers, 350; Jacobs’ Rifles, 350, artillery, 40; sappers, 21; cavalry, 60.

Brilliant Re:eptions--His ALABAMA ELECTION RETURNS. —-—__ QGONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. Specches. PREMIER GLADSTONEBETTER THE AFGHAN WAR. TANNER’S WATER DIET, GENERAL GARFIELD. Dedication of a Soldiers’ Mouument. CLEVELAND, O., August 4.—The Soldiers’ Mon- ument was dedicated yesterday at Geneva, Ash- tabula county, with imposing ceremonies, Specches were made by Gen. Garileld, Congress- men Conger, Orth and Harrison, Gen, Streigat and others. Gen. Garfield's speech, as repoited in short-hand for the Cleveland Heraid, was as follows: ‘“Fellow-citizens:—These gentlemen had no right to print on a paper bere that I was to make a speech, for the types ought always to tell the truth aud they have not done it in this case. But I cannot look out upon a great audience in Ashtabula county, resognizng so many Old faces and old friends w.thout at least making my bow to them and sayirg ‘Good bye” before i go. I cannot eliher hear sich a specch as that to which I have just listened withovt thanking the man who made it, and the People who enabled him to make it, for after all, ho man can make a speech alone, i is the great human power that strikes up irom @ thousand minds that acts upon him and makes the speech. It originates wath those outside of him if he makes one at all, (and every man that has stood on this platform .0-day has had a speech made out of bim by you. and by what {§ yonder on your square) ‘Tnat is the way speeches are made, and if 1 had time to stay here jong enough these forces with you Might make one out of me. Ideas are the only thing in this yniverse that are Immortal. Some eople think thet soldiers are chiefly renowned for courage, That ls one of the cheapest and commonest qualities. We share it with the biutes. J can fiud you dogs and bears and lions that will fight and ilght to the death and will tear each other. Do you call that warfare? ‘They are as courageous as any of the soldiers, if mere brute courage is what yo. are after. The difference between them and us 1s this: Tigers never hold reunions to celebrate their victories. When they have eaten the creature they have killed that isthe only re- ‘union they ever hold. Wild beasts never butld monuments over their slain comrades. Way? Because there are no ideas behind their war- fare. Our race has ideas, and because ideas are immortal If they be true we build monuments tothem. We hold reunions not for the dead. for there is nothing in all the earth that you andIcando forthe dead. They are past our | help and past our pratse. We can add to them no glory and we can give to them no immortality. They do Hot need us, but forever and forevermore we need them. The glory tbat trailed in the clouds bebind them after their sun had set falls with its benediction upon us who are living, and it is to commemorate the immortality of the ideas for which they fought that you assemble to-day and dedicate your monument which points up toward the God who leads them in the ot the great world beyond. And around those ideas, under the leadership of the tmmortality of those ideas, we assemble reverently, to follow rev- erently, to acknowledge the: glory, they achieved and the benediction they left behind them. That is the pas of an assembly like this, and to join in it to meet you, my old neigh- bors and constituents, to share with you the Memories that we have heard rehearsed and the inspiration that this day points to, that this monument Celebrates, is to me a joy, and for it Iam grateful to you. Before I gol want the epsure end to give you the pleasure of hear- a few words from some distinguishes gen- temen who are on this-platform.
