General Cathcart is seeking to raise a levy by offer-
ing the farmers ss. a day as privates, and 7s. 6d. a
day as officers, which is considered very liberal.
We extract the following from the monthly sum-
mary of the Cape Town Mail, dated May 29 :
" Lieutenant-General Cathcart having recovered from
the effects of the accident he had sustained in being
thrown off his horse, had proceeded at the date of the
last monthly mail to assume the active command of the
forces in Kafirland. Since then he has permanently
removed head-quarters from King William's Town to
Fort Beaufort.

"In reply to addresses from various bodies of the
colonists, shortly after his arrival, his Excellency an-
nounced his determination to effect the total subjugation
of the traitorous hordes now overrunning the colony,
and to expel for ever the hostile Guika Kafirs from the
country they had occupied before the war.
" To accomplish this object nearly the whole of the
forces under his command were extended in a connected
chain of columns across the territory intended to be
cleared, provision being made for keeping open the com-
munication between the different columns, while the
12th Regiment, under Colonel Perceval, were replaced
in their former position at Collingham, for the protec-
tion of the Albany district. This corps had been pre-
viously engaged in the fruitless endeavour to drive the
enemy from his fastnesses in the Amatola mountains.
On their return they swept through the country of
Stock and Seyolo, which was found to be entirely de-
serted, those chiefs having either joined their forces to
those of Macomo and Sandilli, or sent them, dispersed in
marauding bands, into the colony.
" The results of the operations of the several columns
have not yet been formally communicated to the public.
The degree of success which may have attended their
combined efforts can, therefore, be but indistinctly
traced. Not the slightest indication, however, has
yet been manifested of a disposition on the
part
of the Kafirs to submit , bonthe cnt r

numbers of them are also known
troops, and entered the colonies at various places.
Many depredations have conat quently been committed,
and several desperate encounters have taken place be-
tween them and parties of burghers who have endea-
voured to deprive them of their spoil.
" On the Ist inst. information was received that the
post from head-quarters had been intercepted by a
band of Seyolo's Kafirs, who carried off the mail bag,
containing the Governor's dispatches, the men in charge
barely escaping with their lives.
" In the early part of the month, Colonel Michell, who
was stationed at Fort Cox, had a severe engagement, in
which 20 of the enemy were killed, and many more
wounded. The 6th Regiment and 60th Rifles were both
warmly engaged in this affair. The Kafirs, it appears,
maintained the conflict with great determination, the
troops being unable to make any impression upon them
until the Light Company of the 6th, by a desperate
charge, drove them from their position, when a party of
the Rifles, in ambush, poured in a deadly fire and put
them to rout.

"Information has also been received of a gallant at-
tack upon a portion of the Waterkloof, by Colonel Bul-
ler, with two c,napanies of the 60th Rifles, under Captain
Lord A. Russell and Captain Woodford, and a small de-
tachment of the Cape Corps under Captain Somerset.
The lisfirs, however, were found to be in such over-
whelming force, and to be screened by the nature of
the ground, that, after a laborious march through the
rugged jungle, and killing a considerable number of
the enemy, the attacking party retired, undo.' cover of
a six-pounder which had been judiciously placid in re-
serve. On this occasion it is stated that the peculiar
whiz of the enemies' balls told ( f iron pot legs and angu-
lar pieces of iron, end not of musket halls,' proving that
the stringent measures tacit to prevent them from ob-
taining ammunition are beginning to be felt among them.
On the side of the troops, only one officer and two pri-
vates were wounded, Lieutenant Godfrey having the tip
of his car shot off.

" On the sth instant, a detachment of the 25th Regi-
ment, under Captain Helmsley, suddenly fell in with a
party of about forty Kafirs in the Fish River Bush, near
Committee's Drift, when six of the enemy were killed,
and the others, after discharging their pieces, plunged
into the bush and escaped.
" Great consternation was exciter', among the inhabi-
tants of Lower Albany by the discovery, on the 12th
instant, of the traces of a large body of rebel Hottentots,
estimated at from 100 to 150 men, having entered the
Kowie Bush, which extends within a few miles of Gra-
ham's Town. About sixty of the neighbouring inhabi-
tants, including a party of the Albany Rangers, were
speedily assembled, and, under Captain Stubbs, moved
during the night in the direction of the marauders, whom
they came up with about three o'clock in the morning,
and found them sleepingb round their fires in an open
space in the centre of a dense bush. Owing to the pre-
cipitancy of .some of the party an alarm was given
oeffectualbefore an effectual attempt could be made, and th
rebels, starting up, dived scathless into the bush. They

GRAHAM'S TOWN, MAY 25.
The Hottentots and Kafirs, but principally the for-
mer, have been again busy in our neighbourhood. Ac-
counts were received on Sunday morning that on
Saturday a party of them had murdered two herdsmen
—one a-Hottentot, and the other a Fingo—at Manley's-
ibet, near Mr. Robey's house of accommodation. Their
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; but having shot
the two poor fellows—one while sitting under a bush,
and the other in endeavouring to make his escape—they
decamped without any booty.
"At a few miles distance from the above place, and
/soarer Graham's Town, probably some of the same
party did succeed in getting away with three spans of
oxen, which they cut out of some waggons belonging
to Man Honey, and which were coming Into town loaded
with firewood. What renders this last case remarkable
as we are informed, is the fact 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,
was committed by not more than three persons. Not a
shot was fired on either side, so far as we have heard
the story. This took place on the road at what is called
iloward's party, only a few miles from the town.
"The party who went down to the Karrae has re-
turned reporting that they were not able to fall in with
sn 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
Kreli one month in which to pay the fine of 1,500 head
of cattle. This fine is considered much too small, as it
is generally believed there aro at this present thousands
of colonial cattle grazing quietly in his territories.
" Thia morning further disastrous intelligence has
been received. It is reported that three houses have
been burnt somewhere near Sunday's River. Whether
any lives have been lost we have not been able to ascer-
tain. The court-martial on Captain 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.
I have just heard that the Governor will be in
s Town to-morrow morning. Preparations are
Graham'
being made to receive him by the public."
(From the Graham's Town Journal.)
~Immediately after our issue on Saturday a report
reached us of another murder, by rebel Hottentots, of
two herdsmen on Manley's flat, ten miles south of
Graham's Town. It appears that these men (a Fingo
and a Hottentot) were out in the field herding oxen
when the rebels attacked them, shot them down, and
went off with about 36 head of cattle. Hitherto these
miscreants have eluded pursuit, though Colonel Perceval
and the 12th Regiment have been out, as well as several
parties of Burghers. Commander Currie and his party
returned yesterday, having scoured thoroughly the
whole of the Karma, 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 of
a very recent date. The weather proved unusually in-
clement and the lying in the bush without fires during
long nights is a task the disconfort of which, to be under-
stood, must be experienced. It is said that the rebels
mustered in great force, and it is confidently affirmed,
that in the attack on the Clayton's Uithaalder, the rebel
leader, commanded in person. We are informed also,
that so circumspect had been his movements, all the bush
paths on his trail wore occupied by his scouts, and that
had a email party followed in pursuit it would in all
probability have been cut off to a man.
"Information has just reached town that three Ksfirs
have been shot by the Burghers at Hannay's Camp (one
dead; and two severely wounded.) It appears that a
party of, the enemy made their appearance there yester-
day afternoon, when the Burghers, with the liafirs and
Fingoes, turned out and attacked them most gallantly,
with the result stated. We must defer particulars till
our Saturda) 's issue, but in_ the meantime we deem it
important to gire the concluding portion of the letter
before us as follows:
" ' I would sincerely advise all parties to be watchful
at present, as there are more Kafirs and Hottentots in
Lower Albeny just now than persons are aware of. The
party we a!tacked must have come out of the Bowie
bush the night previous.'
"Forte, Cox, MAT 15.—Cyr amiable, humane neigh-
bours have been riving us a specimen of their qualities,
for which lately they aro so eminent. A poor fellow of
the 2d 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!
" WATERRLOOF, 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.
" WHITTLE3EA, LTAY 11.—The Kafirs are again very
troublesome on this border. Last week they took a lot
of cattle from Eiland River, on the Cradock road, and
about the same time 400 woolled sheep from Groot Haas
Fontein. In Kama's country two thieves have been
killed during the past week. We are very uneasy about
the Cratieck district, as we hear that the time of the
levies is up, and it in said that they are not to be re-
enrolled. The Boors, in consequence of this, are talking
of trekking.' It should be remembered that this dis-
trict has been entirely dependent on these levies for pro-
tection, and it is quite evident that the Tambookies are
taking advantage of the lung nights to renew their de-
predations."

NEWS VENDERS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT
IN3TITUTION.—The subscribers and friends of this useful
society dined together yesterday at the Ilighbury Tavern,
for the purpose of bringing the society and the objects it had
in view more prominently before the trade at large. Mr. L.
Wild presided, and in proposing the toast of the evening
briefly reviewed the progress of the society since its estab-
lishment in 1839. They had at present, he stated, 1,2504
invested, from which pensions were paid according to the
rules. He made an earnest appeal on behalf of the society,
directing his remarks chiefly to those in prosperity; and he
named several instances of perci-is whose families, although
once in affluence, had been land inoligible to receive assist-
ance from the binds of the bei,volem. noeleties of this and
other trades, in couseci tiAlco th it not, In been sub-
scribers to thel.n. Subs;;;.ipt;,;:l-; of tiro smallest amount
were received, and lie concludsd hr expressing a wish that
the institution would receive the general support of the trade.
As the object of the dinner was more to promote a friendly
feeling in all persons connected with the news business to-
wards the society, there would be no collection, but should
airy friends wish to become subscribers, the committe would
be most happy to receive their names. Other toasts fol-
lowed, and the company separated about ten o'clock.
