lery into the " Union !" Federal troops congregated
on the St. John's ; and, massed into an army, moved
into the interior. Hurled back at Olustee, they
retreated, shattered and bleeding, to their ships, and
added thus another instance of the general truth,
that every large operation of the campaign of last
year has resulted in failure.

THE CAPE OF G 004) HOPE.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

BREST, Jan. 15.

The French steamer Japon has arrived here from
the Cape of Good Hope. She left Table Bay on the
3d December, and brings 13 days' later news than
the last English mail steamer.
The dispute between the Free State and the
Basutos was still unsettled. No definite reply hav-
ing been received from Moshesh to Nov. 24, a second
messenger has been despatched from Bloemfontein
to Thaba Bosigo, his capital, for his answer. A
rumour prevailed at Bloemfontein that at a great
council of the Basuto nation it had been deter-
mined by a majority to respect Sir P. Wodehouse's
arbitration, and to give up the disputed lands rather
than incur a war. This pacific resolution was said
to have been supported by Moshesh and his son
Sebea, but opposed by Molappo and Moperi, chiefs
whose folloWers are the aggressors in the Witte-
bergen, being the occupiers of the disputed lands.
Although the month allowed for the withdrawal of
those Basutos had nearly expired, they remained
quietly squatting on the Wittebergen farms which
they had reclaimed and cultivated, hoping yet to rea-
lise the profits of their labours, and the impression
that war would result was general. The burghers of
the Free State were assembling with an alacrity
never before displayed by them. 400 had come
in from Fauresmith and Philipp°lis, and were to be
accompanied by the President to Winburg on
November 25. Private advices received, however,
yet stated that there probably would be no war.
A meeting of the Constitution Defence Associa-
tion was to be held at the Commercial Exchange,
Cape Town, on the day the Japon sailed, " to take
into consideration the reply said to be received from
the Home Government to a petition of the inhabi-
tants of the western districts against Act No. 1,
1864 (the Customs Duties Protection and Indemnity
Act), and to resolve on what further measures
should be adopted."
The Diamond Company's steamer Kaffraria was
to leave Table Bay on Dec. 23 with the regular
monthly mail, and may be expected in England
about Jan. 25.

Ships and troops gathered like storm clouds
around the harbour of Mobile. That city was, we
were assured, about to be captured, and a co-operat-
ing force, moving for that base, we were told,
would immediately afterward-go up the Alabama to
repeat the apparently harmless process of " cutting
the rebellion in two !" What are the facts to-day ?
Mobile is still a " hotbed" of secession ! The Federal
army and the Federal fleet have seen proper to give
its torpedoes and its artillery 'and its rifles a " wide
berth," and even that gallant old sailor, Farragut,
while able to look upon its church spires in the dis-
tance, was unable to break the spell which appears
to have decreed that each expedition of the war in
1864 should turn out a miscarriage. _ _

But what shall we say of Sherman's raid across
Georgia ? Beginning at his confession of the prac-
tical failure of even the splendid successes which
brought hina to Atlanta in the vain hope of strang-
ling the rebellion, the movement of that officer to
the seaboard was, such as it is, a success. The
measure of that success is simply the occupation of
the previously sealed city of Savannah, and of about
20 miles of the lower part of the Ogechee-Savannah
peninsula ; but, while this is literally the sum total
of its results, that march is the only instance in
which any one of the great movements of the cam-
paign of last year has not proved an utter failure.

By an arrangement with the Postmaster-General
in London, the Union Company have been freed
from their obligation of sending any steamer home
to reach England in January with the usual mails on
account of their vessel, the Athens, being required
for the new extension of the mail line to Mauritius.
The Kaffraria, however, brings the mails under her
own contract with the Colonial Government, and
not on any special arrangement with the Union '
Company.
