September, ON. The news from New Zealand that the Maories had surprised the settlers and massacred several European families, committing horrible atrocities, will again painfully fix on that colony the attention of the Empire. In REUTER'S sensational language " men were burnt alive, children mutilated, and the dead bodies of women thrown to the pigs." Of course, the authorities, that is the Colonial Govern ment, are blamed, as the British troops having been withdrawn, no one else remains on whom to affix the great mismanagement. The colonists ought, surely, by this time, to have learnt to be more sparing of their censure of others, and take the question into serious consideration how far they are to blame themselves. We would be slow in raising such a question, under such circumstances, had the example not been set by the colonists them selves. In few other co int ries have British ti JO PI suffered more evere:y, and in none have they loot with le s mpathy in their heavy losses, or been mo. e severely criticised. The paters joined the setthrs in unsparing denunciation. Her MAJEsTY's soldiers were tcrme I worse than use less, and were said more to hamper than to for ward the work in which they were employed. This cry, taken up i=i Englan 3, did much to wards enforcing on the Government the rec dl of the field force maintained in New Zealand at such a heavy expense to the Imperial Treasury. But no sooner had the regiments left than the demoraliza tion caused by the protection they had afforded be came apparent. The settlers, who were ready to fatten on the expenditure of the British Commis sariat and to abuse the soldiers, were neither ready to fight, to train for fighting, nor to pay ; and they drifted into the terrible state of affairs now exist ing. A glance at the map will Flew what that is ; but we must premise the few observations we have to make by the remark that the war is confined to the Northern Island, the centre of which is held by the natives. The Southern Island has no more to do with this conflict, as far as personal danger goes, than have the people of England or of Ireland. The geographical features are peculiar. From about the centre, towering over Lake Taupo, rise a chain of stupendous mountains which taper off on many sides downwards to the ocean. The New Zealanders hold that centre, and therefore command the sources of the rivers, and can follow down their courses into the wide valleys where the settlers are located towards the sea, selecting any one for attack. The telegram shows that Poverty Bay was the point last struck, but a sentence further on announces that " the colonial forces on the west coast have retreated before the rebels, and a large tract of territory had been abandoned," which is tantamount to saying that the war was general over the country below the city of Auckland. Poverty Bay south of East Cape is, perhaps, the most easterly bay of New Zealand. The colonial troops retreating on the western coast were at New Plymouth, the most westerly settlement of the northern island, which shows that the Maories had gathered in force for a simultaneous attack east and west. The plan of savage warfare answers the purpose of savages, for the cruelties perpetrated create such terror that they cause a general panic, and men unaccustomed to bloodshed and suffering, acting under its influ ence, get a scare, the moral effect of which it takes long to obliterate. But like everything else, men be come used to being roasted alive, and all the horrors savages can perpetrate as witnessed in the Western Territories, otherwise the Indians of the Plains would have barred the way to the Rocky Moun tains, and the Indians of the Eastern States might have stopped the settlement of America. The Western scout is not to be scared by Indians, for he carries his own life as well as that of his enemy in the weapon he uses, and he generally manages, before he is captured, to blow out. his brains. A similar class will arise among the now terror stricken colonists of New Zealand, but the induce ment must be given in the lands of the aboriginals. The Maories will then learn that the game they have chosen can be played with as much effect by the Anglo-Saxon as by themselves ; and perhaps after some terrible lessons, and with numbers sadly diminished, they mly take their places among the settlers as civilized inen. The question which rises in so doubtful au aspect is whether such savages ever can become civilized. All testimony concurred in placing the Maori at the head of savage races. He was supposed to be faithful to his engagements, to be generous, and even forgiving, in war. His reli gion had become the boast among missionaries, and he was even said to be the equal as an agriculturist or a mechanic, or a sailor, of the best settlers from England. Some actually denied that be had been a cannibal, and the reproach had almost ceased to be remembered against him. He had contended on almost superior terms with the flower of the British army, and a regiment, having scarcely an equal in fame in that long roll, had recoiled, panic-stricken and with fearful loss, in a desperate encounter with these warriors. Their entrenchments were the ad miration of scientific engineers, and the traverses by which they secured shelter against a storm of shot from Armstrong guns might be imitated, but not excelled. All at once we have this religious, brave, and intelligent race, not merely brutally mur dering the settlers they surprised, but roasting them to death, mutilating children, eating the bodies of their victims, and potting the meat for their kinsmen in the interior. DILKE, in his work, Greater Britain, if we remember right, asserts that such tribes cannot be civilized, and gives some ex traordinary instances, which will be found in one of our back numbers, of sudden and uncontrollable re lapses into savagery. But what is the case of the Cheyenne younglady,on being reared in a fashionable school, who, when vexed, went to her room, let down her back hair, and began to ho wl—to this sudden re coil into the darkest night of barbarism of the Maories? It is easier to moralize thus than to sug gest a plan of operations. The island cannot be abandoned ; the sister colonies cannot afford a war of conquest against an enemy from whom nothing can be got but bullets and tomahawks. It lies, then, between the Imperial Government and the settlers in the North Island. If the settlers are cowed, the natives will literally gobble up all who remain unless the Horse Guards are directed to rescue them, on which event the greatest of all the wars in New Zealand will arise, and one simply of extermination. But it is possible that the settlers may be roused to vengeance, and men may give up ease and money making, to take the field in earnest. If ,so the fate of the natives will be as short, sharp, and decisive, as such wars can be ; that is scouting parties will be Maories' constantly h e o a n d a t hwe will o f v e e i t eh n e t h h e i Northerngher pricel sl t a h nd ae , a t nd he 'th whom e b v e e s r t eh tattooed eekieg specimens i m m e a n y s a e p v p c r e broughtappear te E Exeter e b t e e r f o diotwiine v coming, ing, have but m e should e h sympathy, the pl their generation, bitterly iplasapnodtshoeire:gpiaiso:rr,ieawtt g o n o al E ly og f l a a i n led cra . course, not forgetting that extermina tion, they are bound to for merlypropthoesecahnroiatthiearnipzraatciotoicablekhtashatsi decision whether to aid the colony, or not,"will hinge I conclusion, thoughtw s e o m ay successfulrem remark n the future connection of such possessions. There is not a colony in case Imperial aid is refused whose allegiance will hereafter withstand the strain of any pressure or danger ; in the event of a war with a naval power the whole will at once declare their in dependence merely to safe themselves from attack, and for the protection of their shipping.
