THE KAFIR WAR.

some of the most daring robberies evmmitted during the
war have lately been perpetrated, otwithstanding the
presence of a considerable body ofthe 12th Regiment,
12th Lancers, Cape Corps, and krhe police recently
established, who, however, appearto have done good
service in following up and punishing the marauders.
In the Somerset district, various night attacks have
been made upon farm-houses, 14 cattle swept off.
The last accounts received from rthat quarter men-
tion that a number of farmers ha traced a party of
Hottentot rebel marauders to their lair in one of the
Fish River kloofs, and killed four ifieverely wounding
two, and taking one prisoner, fro whom some rather
i
important information was elicite He stated "that
there are very few Hottentots in the Waterkloof, and
that Uithaalder and his followers are in the Amatols,
but they are nearly out of gunpowder." He adds,
" that Macomo is in the Waterkloof, but is also short
of ammunition; and that both he'and his Hottentot
followers have abandoned all hope of success in their
insane outbreak." " They would gladly submit," he
states, "were they sure of being spared, but as it is
they are obliged to steal to live:
Throughout the western districts—the Cape Proper
—where peace happily prevails, a most energetic and
enthusiastic response has been made by the inhabitants
to the appeal of the Lieutenant-Governor for, assist-
ance to their eastern brethren, who had proceeded
to join the Commander-in-Chief in the field.
Public meetings were immediately held in nearly
every town and village in the west and donations
of money, arms, lioree.e, ants,,iia, were
freely and generously made t tal- amount
collected it is impossible yet to state, as every post
still brings in fresh subscription lists from all parts of
the country. It was also resoled with entire
unanimity, at all these meetings, that the amounts
subscribed should be placed unreservedly at the dis-
posal of the Governor, to be by him applied in any
way he might think suitable, in equipping or encour-
aging the volunteers under his command. The
Lieutenant-Governor, however, distinctly explained
in his circulars on the subject, that the appeal had
been made by himself individually, without reference
to the Governor ; and that nothing which might be
done in consequence would impose upon the Governor
any pecuniary accountability.
The internal affairs of the colony contiaue to be
conducted without excitement or trouble of any
kind. All memory even seems to have passed from
the public mind of the awful roorts of intended
insurrections, &c., among a certain class, which
aixious in refer-
were so industriously sought out aid blazoned forthpropriety,to fright the land from its propriety, shortly before
the departure of Mr. Montagu fromthe colony. The
inhabitants,the indeed,

Royal promise is complete, and 'with the certainty
that the letters patent can never to subverted, they
await, in loyal patience, the arrival of the great char-
ter of this colony's liberties. Of the existence and
strength of this good feeling on the part of the col°.
nists
ample Lieutenant Governor Daring has lately had
proof, in the course of a tour he made through
some of the neighbouring districts; and, in reply to
various congratulatory addresses presented to him,
he has emphatically declared and reterated the fact.
Much interest is felt in the search which is being
made in all directions for coal ; the local Government
having offered a reward of 1001. for the discovery of
this precious material in the vicinity of any port in
this colony. Specimens of various qualities have been

logical unfavourable the pro-

this extensive country, coal will yet be found.
Some samples of supposed gold sent down:from
the Waterkloof are found on examination to be

the Amatola range and the gold-producing granites

A great stimulus has been given to the cultivation
of fine wool by the encouraging prices lately realized
in the London market. Not only within the colony
but at Natal and the Sovereignty, rapid strides are
being made in this very profitable branch of produc-
tion. From Algoa Bay alone, the wool exported
during the three first quarters of the preamt year,
exceeds in value a quarter of a million sterreg.

to retire without succe!s, leaving one Kafir dead in the
gap,with his pouch and things on. From the blood spoors
seen the next morning, a good many of them must
have been wounded. One fellow got a horse loose and
rode off, seven shots being fired at him without effect.
The riems had been cut from the necks of the remainder,
but since our other horses were lost we have taken the
precaution to put chains on their necks and lock them
up. The enemy were no doubt enraged at being com-
pelled to retire without anything, as their last effort was
to set fire to the cattle kraal, which they did by throwing
several lighted mats on the fence. We all had of course
to turn out and extinguish the fire. At the time the
attack was made four of our children lay sick with the
measles, and we had to drag them out of bed and place
them on the floor. It is a miracle that none of us were
hurt, as the balls coming through the windows and
striking the opposite walls rebounded in all directions.
I am sorry to say that my old servant, poor Magook,
was shot dead, and a Hottentot woman dangerously
wounded, whom I have sent into town in the hope of
gutting her into hospital, as we have no doctor here. A.
Fingo woman and child were also wounded, but not dan-
gerously. The enemy attacked the huts at the same
time as the house, firing into them, and shooting the ,
people as they ran out.
(EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED CRADOCK, AUG. 17.)
I think I can now surprise you. On Thursday and
Friday, the 12th and 13th instant, the erven were sold
by public auction at the new town " Meddleburg," on
the Braak River, Rhenosterburg, situated nine hours
from Cradock, twelve from Graaf-Reinet, fourteen from
Colesberg, and eighteen from Burghersdorp (all in the
saddle.) There were some 200 half-dry and water erven,
and they void for about 15,0004, being an -average of
Rds. 1,000, or 751. each. Some of the erven fetched as
much as 4631.—size one acre ! Smaller erven sold pro-
portionably high according to situation for business. I
bought one on the market 60 by 80 feet at Rds. 1,520.
The next erf, same size, bought by Meagre. Spiller and
Smith, of Burghersdorp, sold for Rds, 2,830. There was
a large attendance, and apparently all buyers. The
Graaff-Reineters bought freely for business purposes, as
they trade here more than other places.
Cradock, Colesberg, and Barghersdorp produced a
few sprinkling of purchasers, and the Dorpers came out
first-rate with their 800 and 1,500 Rds. for erven. All
must be built on within four years. So they will soon
have a town there nearly twice the size of Cradock.
Then the church will be immensely rich. The Kirkraad
gave 3,0001. for the farm. Say they gave Rds. 80,000 to
build a church and parsonage, there is then 6,0004 to be
put out on interest, besides which every erf must pay a
church-rate of from 7s. 6d. to 20s. per annum. The
situation for a town is good, and the site fixed on admi-
rable. A splendid stream of water from three fountains,
besides the river close by. Nice flat country, with hills
in the distance. _

The news brought by the Bosphorus is only a
fortnight later than that brought by the Haddington,
consequently a portion of the news she has brought
has been anticipated.
The Bosphorus left Plymouth at 4 p.m., on the
27th of July, on her outward voyage ; arrived at St.
Vincent at 8 a.m., on the 7th of August, from which
she started again at 5 p.m. on the 9th, and arrived in
Table Bay at half-past 7 a.m. on the 2d of September,
performing the voyage in 364 days. She experienced
a very heavy gale in S.E. trades, with head
winds, and heavy seas, until 25 deg. south. Her run
was therefore exceedingly good. The Bosphorus left
the Cape of Good Hope on Sept. 5; St. Helena the
16th ; Ascension the 19th ; arrived at St. Vincent's
on the 28th; and sailed on the Ist of October; ar-
riving here on the 16th. She had had heavy winds
on her voyage home. At the time she left St. Vin-
cent's the Royal Mail screw-steamer Indiana was
there, and left for India a few hours before the Bos-
phorus. The Indiana had had a rough passage out.
The Bosphorus was detained four days at St. Vin-
cent'sfor coal.

The news brought by this mail is of the same char-
acter as that which has come home hitherto. The
war still " drags its slow length along," and the latest
intelligence from the frontier states that outrages are
still committed on the frontiers, even in the proximity
of the towns and posts. Both parties still war with
cattle—the Kafirs managing generally to hold their
own remarkably well. The Transkei expedition had
been finished, but the frontier districts were still
swarming with rebels and Kafirs, who carry with
them devastation and ruin, too frequently with impu-
nity. It was understood to be the intention of the
Governor to make another inroad into liselits country
at a suitable opportunity.
Tae coal that had been discovered turns out to be
anthracite, giving encouragement to further search,
which is much promoted by the Government, who
have offered a reward of 1001. for the discovery of
coal beds. The gold reported by the Haddington to
have been found at the Waterkloof turns out to be
sulphur et of iron.

CAMP ON VIE KYE, Aug. 15.—Yesterday, a party of
seventy-five men, rather too venturesome, went out
hunting, and, after burning several kraals, found them-
selves suddenly surrounded. Two coloured men, one a
Kafir guide and the other a waggon-driver, got separated,
and have not since been heard of. It is supposed that
both have been put to death. The Governor is very
well satisfied with the English turn-out. Of Dutch
there are only about forty in the field, while the English
number nearly 300. And a very fiue body of men they
!Ire, well mounted and equipped. The general opinion
is there never was before so efficient a force on this aide
the Kei, each division being accompanied by 500 ca-
valry.

WHITE
KEI CAMP, Aug. 15.—We were joined at the
Balotta by some Somerset Burghers under Kruger,
some fourteen from Burghersdorp, and then moved on
to this. The day we arrived we were joined by the
Albany and the Port Elizabeth contingents, all in the
best style and spirits, well armed, and their horses in
fair condition. His Excellency then formed his standing
camp, which is to be left in charge of the Rifles, and
divided the rest of the troops into two columns, the one
under Colonel Michel, and the other under Colonel
Napier, each consisting of one regiment of infantry, some
Native Irregulars, and 500 horses—making two more
vfliment columns than I have ever seen at work ft one
time in liiCreli's country. • • * The division under
Colonel Napier has moved up the T'Somo towards its
sources, and that of Colonel Michel down the same river
to its confluence with the Kyo towards Butterworth.
Some spoors of Hottentot waggons were seen leading in
that direction. Nothing can be more in our favour than
the state of the weather, not a drop of rain since leaving;
plenty of grass, with wood and water. * * * The
burgher muster is almost exclusively English. The
Graham's Town men we left in the best possible spirits,
all eager for the fight.
CAMP ON THE BANKS OF THE KET, Aug. 15.—The
whole of our division is on patrol for nine days. The
General went out as far as Kreli's kraal, and re-
turned the second day. No news from the patrol except
that the whole of Kreli's kraals have been fired and de-
stroyed. The accounts that we have are, that he (Krell)
is off across the Bashee, and taken all his cattle with
him. Oar gallant fellows are after him in fine style, and
I am not afraid but they will bring plenty of cattle. The
Governor has erected a fort at the Balotta camp, called
Fort Tylden, half way between Shilo and the li.i—Cap-
tain Cahill, 91st Regiment, is in command of it. This
fort is principally for having supplies ready for us in case
we remain here longer than intended.

The principal event of the war during the past
month has been the advance of Lieutenant-General
Cathcart, at the head of a strong column of troops,
and about 1,000 burghers, across the Kei, into the
territory of the Amagaleka Kafir Chief Kreli, his
burning the deserted kraal or "great place" of that

ethnet
Ills Excellency moved forward from the Umvani,
the point where the burghers had been invited to as-
semble, on the 6th August, the very day he had fixed
upwards of a month previously for that purpose.
During his progress towards the Kei, two messen-
gers from the chief reached him, and stated that they
were sent " to inquire the cause of the presence of
the troops, and to hear the Governor's word." They
were sent back with the following answer :
" That the Governor had sent to demand the payment
of the fine of cattle imposed by the former Governor;
that two moons had passed since the Great Chief gave
his word that unless the cattle demanded were paid
within that time, he would bring a burgher commando
and take them. Bat Krell had sent back the Great
Chief's letter, and the fine has not been paid, and San-
dilli is still in the Amatolas. Therefore it is that the
Great Chief has now come to take the fine, and as much
more cattle as will pay for the trouble of coming, also
to punish Kreli for sending back his letter. However,
if Kreli would, with the fine imposed, surrender his per-
son to be kept in safety till the Gaikas cross the Kei,
the Governor would halt the troops, and send the burgh-
ers back to their homes.
" To this the messengers replied that the fine might
be paid, but that Kreli would not surrender."
The forces then proceeded to enter Kreli's coun-
try, an entrenched post being left at the Balotta, to
secure communication with the colony. Advancing
in two columns, of troops, burghers, and irregulars,
they reached Crouch's station in the neighbourhood
of Kreli's place, on the 11th; and before daybreak,
on the following morning, "his Excellency led a
force of sufficient strength, composed entirely of co-
lonial contingents, with the exception of four com-
panies of the 6th; Regiment as support, upon Kreli's
great kraal, which was found deserted, and was
burnt, without the enemy showing himself."
On the 13th, the burghers, troops, and levies, in
two columns, under Lieut.-Col. Napier and Michell,
were dispatched in pursuit of the enemy's cattle, of
which he was known to possess immense herds ; and
although the great mass of them had already been
driven beyond reach, mostly into the territory of
Umhala, which for some reason the forces were for-
bidden to enter, the large number above mentioned
were brought into camp within a few days. Of these,
8,000 were captured by Napier's column, including
3,000 taken by the Somerset, Kowie, and other bur-
ghers, under their commandants Kruger and Van
Aardt, and 1,000 by the burghers of Albany, Port
Elizabeth, and King William's Town, under Com-
mandants Stubbs and Conway. 1,300 head were
also taken by Michell's column, and 500 by detached
patrols of burghers and volunteer Fingoes. The only
casualties reported are one artilleryman killed and
one wounded, having been rushed upon and assagaied
while acting, unfortunately, as drovers of captured
cattle.
The prompt and spirited manner in which so
large a body of the Eastern burghers had turned
out in arms at the Governor's call, was warmly ac-
knowledged by his Excellency in a General Order
on the 21st, when he dismissed them to their re-
spective homes, " carrying with them not only his
thanks for their meritorious conduct but also the
self-satisfaction of having as loyal subjects re-
sponded to his aiipeal." His Excellency also de-
clared that by the exertions of the forces in one
foray of nine days, the object he had in view in
invading Kreli's country and punishing that chief
had been accomplished. He then withdrew the
troops and returned to King William's Town.
Some surprise and disappointment are expressed
on the frontier at this speedy termination of the
expedition for which such great preparations were
made ; and various causes are assigned for the re-
turn of the troops, without having elicited any ap-
pearance of submission on the part of the Kreli, who,
it is generally believed, will have by this time re-
sumed his former quarters ; the work of a few
hours sufficing to re-construct the cluster of straw
huts and rude cattle fences which form his " great
place."
One cause is said to be, that the enemy
took the precaution to cover his retreat by burning
the grass in every direction behind him, thus render-
ing pursuit by cavalry impracticable. It is also stated
that some of the Tambookie and other neighbouring
tribes have been subsidized, and are prepared to fall
upon the contumacious chief, and, in Kafir phrase,
" eat him up." The most general impression, how-
ever, is that, under any circumstances, peace will
shortly be proclaimed by the Governor; and that, hav-
ing displayed to the border tribes the overwhelming
force which he is prepared to bring against them,
he will now endeavour to allay the stormy elements,
and assert under more pacific influences that
authority over our savage neighbours which is essen-
tial to the very existence of the colony, and which
every month's continuance of this miserable warfare
seems but more and more hopelessly to undermine
and weaken. This view appears also to be confirmed
by
.the circumstance that his Excellency intends, it is
believed, to return early in October to Cape Town,
where affairs of importance will
then require his pre-
sence.
While these events were occurring beyond the bor-
der, the inhabitants of the more exposed districts of
the colony have ex • perieneed no cessation of the dan-

GENERAL ORDER—No. 64.
Head-quarters, Camp Balotta, Aug. 21, 1852.
The Commander-in-Chief having, as set forth in his
proclamation of the Ist of July, invaded Kreli's terri-
tories at the head of a burgher force, supported by an
adequate column of troops, proceeded to that contuma-
cious chief's kraal on the 12th inst., found it deserted,
and caused it to be burnt.

Colonel Michel's column returned to the camp at the
Sabolela Drift on the 17th, having captured 1,300 head
of cattle. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's column returned
to the head-quarters' camp on the 20th inst., having cap-
tured 8,000 head. Besides these, there were about 120
horses, and a considerable number of goats taken. About
500 head of cattle were also captured by patrols com-
goes, the Albany, Port Elizabeth, and King
posed of the Cradock Fingo Volunteers, Captain Camp-
bell'sWiiallti'ns Town Burghers, sent out from the standing
camp—making in all about 10,000 head.
The Commander-in-Chief thanks Lieut.-Colonel
Michel and Lieut.-Colonel Napier, the troops, the
burghers, and levies, for their exertions in accomplishing
in one foray of nine days the object he had in invading
Kreli's country and punishing that chief, which enables
him now to permit the several contingents of burghers
and volunteers to return to their respective homes, car-
rying with them not only his thanks for their meritorious
conduct, but also the self-satisfaction of having as loyal
subjects responded to his appeal.
To Lieutenant-Colonel Napier his Excellency's thanks
are especially due for the energy and sound judgment

GOVERNMENT NOTICE.--NO. 12.
Camp, Sabolela Drift, Waite Kei, Aug. 14.
On the 29th of July the Commander of the Forces hav-
ing given his orders for the concentration of two columns
of troops at the Imvani, there to be ;oined by the several
contingents of burghers and others appointed by pro-
clamation to meet him on the 6th of August, his Excel-
lency left Fort Beaufort and joined ithe force assembled
at the Bliukwater, under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's
command, and marched with it on the following morn-
ing for the invasion of Kreli's country. On the day PT-
pointed-6th of August—the two columns of troops,
that from Fort Beaufort and that from King William's
Town, under Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, formed a junc-
tion at the Imvani, and moved to the Balotta, where
they encamped and halted the 7th, Bth, and 9th, to en-
able the several contingents of burghers known to be on
their way to join.
During this interval, two messengers, Contra and
Pakana, from Kreli, reached the Commander of the
Forces' camp, sent by their chief to inquire the cause of
the presence of the troops, and to hear the Governor's
word. They wore told, that the Governor had sent to
demand the payment of the fine of Cattle imposed by the
former Governor ; that two months had passed since the
great chief gave his word ; that unless the cattle de-
manded were paid within that time, he would bring a
burgher commando and take them. But Kreli had sent
back the great chief's letter, and the fine has not been
paid, and Sandilli is still in the Ilinfttolas. Therefore it
is that the great chief has now come a) take the fine, and
as much more cattle as will pay for the trouble of coming,
as also to punish Krell for seeding.back his letter. How-
ever, if Krell would, with the fine Impeied, surrender his
person to be kept in safety till the Gaitas cross the Kei,
the Governor would halt the troops, and send the
burghers back to their houses.
To this the messengers replied that the fine might be
paid, but that Kreli would noteurrender.
On the 10th, after establishing an entrenched post at
Balotta, to secure the line of communication with the
colony, the army broke up their Map-and marched into
Kreli's country, the commander of the forces crossing the
Kei at the head of the burghers, and establishing his
camp on its left bank. The, whet) of tho burghers, of
whom the Commander-in-Chief had received notice,
having now joined, and the. proper magaaines formed at
the standing camp on the Kei, the iwo movable, columns
of troops, burghers, and irregulars,moved forward under
the Commander-in-Chief's orders, on the 11th of August,
to Crouch's station, and on the follewing morning, before
daylight, his Excellency led a fore/ of sufficient strength,
composed entirely of colonial contingents, with the ex-
ception of four compauies of the ith Regiment, as sup-
port, upon Kreli's great kraal, which was found deserted,
and was burnt, without the enemy showing himself.
The two columns, provisioned for eight days, and
lightly equipped, proceeded in the execution of the in-
structions under which they were to despoil the enemy
of cattle—the Commander of the Forces, with his escort,

(From a Supplement to the Cape Town Mail.)
MAIL OFFICE, Sept. 6, 3 r.m.—The following letter,
from our Graham's Town correspondent, has just
come to hand by this afternoon's post. It contains
nothing new, but, as the latest intelligence from the
seat of war,

have been made aware, from the papers of Tuesday, that
his Excellency the Governor arrived at Fort Beaufort
on Saturday last. He was escorted from King William's
Town by about fifteen lancers—rather a small force
with which to traverse an enemy's country. By letters
received from Kafirland, we learn that outrages are still
committed, even in the very proximity of the towns and
posts. Near Fort Grey, lately, thirty head of cattle
were carried off—and of two soldiers who merely went
out of the fort for water, one was shot by the lurking
about
and wily foe. Within two miles of Sing William's
f
Town a span of oxen had been taken from one of
Mr. Thackwray's waggons. It is hoped and expected
the Governor will look a little closely into these and si-
milar affairs.

Saturday and relieve their comrades, who will then be
allowed the same privilege. As the cattle are not to be
sold until Monday, and will conseqeuently remain to
graze, where they are till that morning, it is quite ne-
cessary to keep a vigilant watch over them, otherwise
there would be a great risk of many of them being ab-
stracted by the prowling parties of the enemy. Though
all seems tolerably quiet just now, yet the occasional
instances that occur in which small parties of Kafirs or
Hottentots are seen, are sufficient to convince the colo-
nists that the country is by no means clear of these
vagobonds.
" It seems to be fully understood, that it is the inten-
tion of tho Governor to make another inroad into
ICreli's country, at a suitable opportunity. Hence the
committee for the Kei expedition have resolved upon
retaining the arms and other accoutrements which have
been lent to the volunteers ; but the horses, from the
expense and risk necessarily attendant upon keeping,
will be sold as soon as the matter can conveniently be ar-
ranged. The cattle, it is expected, will realize very fair
prices—they are said to be in good condition."

AUG. 19.—The rs and Hottentots made an attempt
to get the cattle out of the kraal oe Friday night. They
had got one rail out, when Staples, being on the watch,
fired at them, and, from the blood spoor which we traced

must have been about fifty Kafirs and Hottentots. They
came so near to the windows that the wadding of their
guns sot fire to tho blinds and other things in the room,
in one of which there were about twenty ball shots and
several charges of loopers, the windows being literally
shot to pieces. The main body of the enemy got behind
a fence about five yards in front of the house, and kept`
up a brisk tiro at the windows, while another party tried
to get the cattle out of the kraal. They contrived to
make a gap in it, but the loopers and buckshot were so
hotly poured in at every place where we could see or
hear any part of the fence move, that they were obliged

THE DOMESTIC INSTITUTION OF
YANKEEDOIII.

Whatever may be the ultimate impression enter-
tained by Europeans of " America and the Ameri-
cans," the first is undoubtedly uniformly unfavour-
able, Even their neighbours the Canadians speak of
them with repugnance, if not absolute aversion. They
are, it must be confessed, in their superficial aspect,
singularly uninteresting, prosaic, and repulsive. Their
extreme self-possession, their imperturbable self-suffi-
ciency, their total want of ostensible consciousness of
the presence of others, or acknowledgment of any con-
sideration due to the recognition of other human
beings in the world besides themselves, are features
of national social bearing which are altogether un-
lovely, and earn for them the general antipathy of
mankind. Their public and political bearing is still
more odious, and is enough to hurry the most pru-
dent and pacific economists into un indignant desire
to try conclusions with them at once. Their masses
are truculent and braggart, their public men disho-
nest, temporising, and sycophantic. They are ready
to go to war—they are loud for war, on the slightest,
or on no provocation. Their international morality is
unscrupulous, fraudulent, and ruffianly. They pro-
claim a settled design to appropriate to themselves
the whole of the western hemisphere. They talk
loudly of entering the circle of European politics, and
forcing republican government upon all our states.
They deliberately organised a large society in Phila-
delphia, composed of many wealthy and educated men,
-fOr the purpose of hiring assassins to murder the crowned
heads of Europe ; they blustered loudly about pro-
claiming war against us, as a settlement in full of the
Oregon dispute; they organised armies and sub-
scribed subsidies to become mere buccaneers, thieves,
and burglars in Cuba; " the affair of the"—this and
that, and we know not bow many others.—is perpe-
tually elaborated and cooked up into a cause of war
with us. Even Daniel Webster was abject and in-
sincere enough to lend himself to play the fable of
the wolf and the lamb with the Peruvians, about the
foul dung of the Lobos Islands, and to prostitute his
diplomatic function to the level of pettyfogging spe-
cial pleading; and now at last the Union is trying to
frighten our sense of the necessity of economy into
meanness, by blustering and talking big over this
recent entanglement about the fisheries. These are
characteristics of the Americans which almost fret
and goad us into a wish to come to blows with them
at once, and to prove out of hand which is the better
man. It is our very decided opinion that we would, in
a just cause, give them a very sound drubbing; and
their quarrelsome boastfulness would most richly de-
serve it. But it must be confessed they have some
warrant for their gasconade, and that they are great
people, destined probably to be the greatest. The
mark they have set upon the world has scarcely been
equalled even by the Romans. They have converted
a wilderness to civilization, over a territory greatly
larger than all Europe, in an incredibly short time.
They have given permanent, wise, workable, and
working institutions to a vast portion of the habita-
ble globe. Canals, linked lakes, deepened rivers and
railways, intersect her inland territory, and open it all
up to reciprocal intercommunion. Her maritime enter-
prise is not less than our own, and pushes a trade in and
with our colonies even when we fail in doing so our-
selves. To the disgrace of Europe, and the glory of the
States, the merchants of the Union were the first to
undertake to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific.
In practical science, especially in the department of
mechanics, she stands in a position little, if at all, in-
ferior to our own ; and in the arts and conveniences
of social life she has made advances from which even
our elder civilization need not disdain to take a lesson.
She even sends actresses here whom we hesitate to
regard as at all inferior to our own most eminent ar-
tists ; and, in jurisprudence, her jurisconsults are
standard authorities in Europe. Indeed, it is in her
public life that sbe presents to us her least engaging
aspect. There is no magnanimity in her patriotism—
no honour or equity in her policy. Her Government
is swayed by naked% majorities of the most ignorant
and brutal of her people ; her public men exist only '
by their popularity-with the rabble ; and to please the
mob, they must be like them, flatter their prejudices,
obey their caprices, and trim their opinions and their
acts, not by the rule of right or dictates of true states-
manship, but by the will of the masses and the selfish-
ness of the unscrupulous many. At the beginning of
their era of independence, they were wise and good
enough to reverence and obey their great and saga-
cious statesmen. They have ended by expecting that
the greatest and wisest shall bow before and obey
them; and the result is, that the good and true and
thoughtful shun them altogether. It is when we fall
back upon the literature of America that w• see her
strength, liar riches, her wonderful progress. The men
who scorn to win her most sweet voices by falsehood
or hypocrisy speak the truth that is in them through
the press " with most miraculous organ." With the
exception of her newspapers, no literature is so pure,
so high, so original, so spiritual as the American.
Ware, Longfellow, Bryant, Sigourney, attain the
highest and purest flights of genuine poetry. Since
the " Vicar of Wakefield," we remember nothing in
its line comparable to the " Montacute " of Mrs.
Myers, to whom Sedgewick and Mitford are mere
rushlights. What is more genial, polished, simple,
or exquisite than Washington Irving passim? What
sea sketch is so genuine as Dana's " Two Years be-
fore the Mast ? " We say nothing of Prescott, or
Story, or Cooper, or Bancroft, because our own living
writers in these departments leave these authors far
behind. But in morals or theology we really do not
even approach them. There is only one Chancing in
all the world. What sermons can we, for a moment,
compare to those of Ware or Dewey ? What disqui•
sition on religion equals Parker, Norton, or Ripley ?
Where shall we find riper scholarship, more profound
research, or more varied reading, than, for example,
in the American edition of, and commentaries upon,
De Wette ? Barnes is now the text-book of English
Biblical students. Where are abler and more learned
criticisms to be found than in the " American Re-
view ? " What is more perfect, as a work of art,
than the " Scarlet Letter ? " Above all, what effort
of human genius was ever more exquisitely adapted
to stir society to its depths, and to rift its iniquities
to their centre, than the precious and priceless gift to
the cause of humanity and civilization, Uncle
Tom's Cabin ?" Its popularity in America shows the
greatness of America. A people who can so bear to hear
the truth, to be moved by it, to acknowledge it, cannot,
after all, ever ultimately fall away into worthlessness.
The more we reflect upon this work, the more we are
struck with its wonderful adaptation to the purpose
it was obviously designed to subserve. To achieve a
work of fiction of such power and genius is victory
sufficient; but to remember that the story and the
machinery, perfect in themselves, held throughout in
the writer's aim only a secondary place—that she
merely devised the tale to gild a great moral, and to
accomplish a vast practical, social, and political revo-
lution in her native country—and that she is destined
to succeed in that aim, because her means are great
enough to realize even that end—these are triumphs
given to no other writer of fictitious narrative. Our
mind and taste revolted at the amount of psalm-sing-
ing and cant which interlard the book ; but the re-
ligious is the earnest, self-denying, all-conquering
element in human nature; and Mrs. Stowe has taken
the only means to reach it, albeit it is; somewhat
tinctured with a mystical evangelism. We believe
that this little book has struck the death-blow to
American slavery. Charming had already settled the
morals, dialectics, philosophy, and theology of the
question, with such logic and eloquence as were never
applied to it before—as were never supposed applicable
to it. Mrs. Stowe has given its actual form and
features, what it really is—" negro life in America"
—and supplied just enough of commentary, in the
shape of running argument, as to leave no plea of
breeders and owners unanswered. We do not believe
that the "accursed traffic" can survive the blow. So
far from suspecting the picture of exaggeration, the
power of the work is, that it verifies itself, and satis-
fieste every reader capable of redaction, that

source of perilous weakness to

slaves, would make a stronghold of' the territory. It
is the cause of dangerous demoralisation, a still more
pressing and hazerdous embarrassment. If the free
States which surround the soutnern choose to say the
word—nay, if
any one of them determines to do so,
slavery must be practically at an end. The negroes
can, with perfect ease, escape into the free soil, if
they are at once assured that the free States would
refuse to permit their re-capture. Were Virginia
and Louisiana on the borders of Canada, slavery
could not exist for an hour. For their own sakes, it
is to be regretted they are not, because the execrable
institution which they have taken to their homes
must daily sink them lower and more desperately in
brutality, and the most enervating and debasing
vices. Mrs. Stowe shows clearly enough that the
usual plea urged by the Southerners that they did
not make slavery, but found it, is a poor subterfuge.
The condition of the negro in the States is greatly
worse than in any other country. Even the New
Zealander treats his slave with far more comparative
