"4 •w Hn tentcts and but pruicip-illy toe for-

_ ;:tav, oeen again busy in ,iur netghb era tort. Ac-
were received on Stanley morning that on
%canine a p arty of them bait murdered rev° herdsmen
& Ho teach, and the other a Fingo—at Mseley'ss
flat, near Mr. Robey's house of accomm elation. Tueir
intention would seem to have been to have driven off the
cattle under the care of these herdsmen but from some
cause or other they did not attempt this; bat having shot
the 'two poor fellows—one while sitting under a bush,
and the other in endeavouring to make his escape—they
deteamped without any booty.
"At a few in le. distetice from the above place, and
Dearer Graham's T,o prob.hly some of the same
'party did succeed in gearing away with three spans of
oxen, which they cut out of some waggons belonging
to Kr. Honey, and which were comiag into town loaded
with firewood. What renders tits lest case remarkable
as we are informed, is the tact that there were more
waggons in company, and that the whole number of
drivers and leaders, all natives, could not amount to
fewer than from 16 to 20 men. The theft, it appears,
wee committed by not more than three persons. Not a
shot was fired on either side, so far as we have beard
the story. This took place on the road at what is called
Huceard'a party, only a few miles from the town'
The party who went down to the &urea has re-
turned reporting that they were not able to fall in with
at enemy.
" General satisfaction is expressed here at the con-
viction and almost certain punishment of Botha.
" Letters were yesterday morning received from King
William's Town and the immediate frontier. They con-
tained nothing of importance. The Governor has given
ea
Krell one month in which' o pay the tine of 1,500 d
of cattle. This fine is considered rich too sma11,
is generally believed there are at this present thousands
of colonial cattle grazinit
quietly in his territories.
" This morning further disastrous intelligence has
been received. Its reported that three houses have
i
near Sunday's River. Whether
any lives have
been burnt sem ebveehernleo?t we have nut been able to ascer-
fain. The court-
inertial on
Captein Wemyss
has been
again adjourned. lie continues still very ill, and it is
said his recovery is doubtful. The various officers as-
sembled in town have been consequently ordered off to
their several posts of duty.
a. I have just heard that the Governor will be in
Graham's Town tomorrow morning. Preparations are
being madeto receive him by the public "
(From the Graham's Town Journal.)
Immediately after our issue on Saturday a report
reached us of another mur ler. by rebel Hettent its, of
herdsmen on Henley% 81,, two ten miles sereh of
Graham's ['own. It appears that these men (a Fingo
and a Hottentot) were out in the field herdieg iia.-11
whin the n-belt atceeki-d ahem, shot them down, and
went off with about 36 head or cattle. Hither° these
miscree is have luded pursuit, though Colonel Percevel
atrd the 12'11 Regiment have been out, ow well as several
parties of Burghers. Commander Currie and his party
returned yesterday, having scoured thoroughly the
whole of the Kerraa, in which they lay in ambush for
two nights, without falling in with the enemy. The traces
of some of them were seen, only a few of which were ut
a very recent date. The weether proved unusually in-
clement and the lying in the bush without fires during
long nights is a task Inc diseonfort of which, to be under.
stood, must be experienced. It is said that the rebels
mustered in great force, and it is confi lently affirmed,
that in the atetek on the Clayton's Uichaelder, the rebel
leader, commanded in person. We are informed also,
that so circumspect had been his movements, all the bush
paths on his trail were occupied by his scouts, and that
had a small party_ followed in pursuit it would in all
probability have been cut off to a man.
"Information has just reached town that three Kafirs
have been shot by Vile Burghers at Hannay's Camp (one
dead; and two swierely wounded.) It appears that a
appearance party of_ the energy made their there yester-
day afternoon, w hen the Burghers, with the Kafirs and
Fingoes, tureeit out end attacked them most gallantly,
with the retrdc salad. We must deter particulars till
our Saturar,,
important 's issue, hut in the meantime we deem it
to give the concluding portion of the letter
before tie,as follows:--
'` I would sincerely advise ell parties to be watchful
at pr.lent, as there are more lietirs and Hottentots in
Levier Albany just now than persons are aware of. The
Pasty we attacked must have come out of the Kowie
bush the night previous.
"FORT COX, MAY 15.—Our amiable, humane neigh-
bours have been giving us a specimen of their qualities,
for which lately they are so eminent. A poor fellow of
the 2cl Queen's, cutting wood within 300 yards of the
post, unarmed, was barbarously murdered by them about
ten days ago. They have commenced burning the grass
all over the country, evidently showing they have no
intention of leaving it at present. So much for our
prospect of peace!
" WATERKLOOF, MAY 20.—The Rifles had another
brush with the enemy on Monday. They had three
wounded—one dangerously. One Fingo was killed.
The enemy's loss is not known.
" WHITTLE4EA, MAY 11.—The Kafirs are again very
troublesome on 'his border. Last week they took a lot
of cattle from Eiland River, on the Cradock road, and
ahem the same time 400 woolled sheep from Groot Haas
Fontein. In Kama's country two thieves have been
during the past week. We are,very uneasy about
the Cradock district, as we hear that the time of the
levies is up, and it is said that they are not to be re-
enrolled. The Boers, in consequence of this, are talking
of trekking.' It should be remembered that this die-
tr!et has been entirely dependent on these levies for pro-
tection, and it is quite evident that the Tambookies are
taking advantage of the long nights to renew their de-
predatiens "
