-

There is at length a prospect of an approaching
termination of the New Zealand war, which has
now dragged on its weary length for so many tedious
months. A war of this character has nothing to
commend it to the most pugnacious or fiery Euro-
pean. It is harassing and inglorious, waged against
an inferior race, who, under every disadvantage in
point of military skill and science, have got so
many advantages in their knowledge of the country
and the quickness and ingenuity peculiar to savage
races, that they are of ten able to defeat the best-
laid plans. No military glory is to be gained by a
victory in a pitched battle should the natives ever
allow themselves to be surprised or driven into one,
but, at the same time, the pursuit or the defence
may be as difficult and as fatiguing as if the enemy
belonged to the most accomplished military nation.
The sort of guerilla warfare which is peculiarly
attractive to savages—the surprising of baggage
trains and convoys—the murder of outlying pickets
and stray individuals—all render this species of war-
fare especially harassing and unsatisfactory. In
the case of the Maories, moreover, there have been
other difficulties from their remarkable intelli-
gence and semi-civilisation. They possess such
singular skill in constructing defensive works,
that it has been no easy matter to carry their posi-
tions, and more than once it has happened that
when, after a desperate struggle, the works were
carried, they were found to be empty, the Maories
having left by a retreat which either had not been
observed or could not be cut off. Swamps and
marshes, impassible to Europeans, were easily tra-
versed by them, since they knew the paths by which
they could be traversed. Their knowledge of the
use of fire-arms, too, gave them an immense ad-
vantage over mere savage troops, and they have
had also, we are sorry to say, the advantage of Eu-
ropean direction. All these causes have combined
to render the war no easy one to bring to a satis-
factory or speedy issue, and certainly it did not
need she introduction of an extraneous element of
perplexity. Yet this has occurred in the very seri-
ous disagreement existing between the Ministry on
the one hand and the General-in-Chief on the other.
In so complicated a matter it is not fair to judge
until the statements of both parties are laid before
the public ; but certainly the charge which General
CAMERON brought against the New Zealand
Ministry was not one which ought to have
been lightly made against English gentle-
men. General CAMERON, in fact, charged
the Ministry with the continued prosecution of the
war for the purposes of aggrandisement, and in
utter carelessness of the lives of the Imperial troops.
It is true that this charge was not made openly, but
was openly communicated to the Governor in a
semi-official letter, which he naturally thought ne-
cessary to lay before the accused parties, the more
so as the Ministry had acted in perfect harmony
with himself throughout. The Ministers de-dined
to notice any such letter unless it were brought be-
fore them officially; and Sir GEORGE GREY, who
had, as we have said, fully coincided in their
Policy, thought it necessary to terminate all
