I have italicised some words, and can only hope
that British tactics will be formed at least equal to
those of the Zultts. Tbe principal bit of comfort is
found in the fact that our reinforcements will arrive
at a asrviesable time, for writes my lord :
" If the reinforossnents are seat out at soon they will

Our Christian young men in Dorchester have been
drinking toe with a worthy doctor, and listening to
*lagoon°e on the Christian aemour. I should like to
know something of the doings of those Christian
young men, foe Young Men's Christian Ai:iodations
in these parts ought to be oa the alert against the
hosts of the Philistines, or shall I say, the Zulus? The
neeniatoi of the pneeat evil times seed to mobil:se
their column, or, however good they may be at sitting
still, they'll be outnumbered and overwbehned as were
the British at Isendula, sot will a fortification of
bread and butter, and asks, be as effectual as the
biscuit bags at Rorke's Drift. Seriously. our
Christian Am:dation. seem awfully quiet for yougg
as, or they do a deal of "good by stealth." No
doubt they think—
