THE KAFIR WAR.

PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 5.
The General Steam Screw Shipping Company's
fine steam-ship Bosphorus, Captain J. V. Hall, ar-
rived here this morning, at nine o'clock, having made
a splendid passage of only 35 days. Her outward
dates were—from Plymouth, 15th of August ; arrived
at St. Vincent's on the 26th, at 11.30, A M. ; left 27th
of Aug., at 5, P.M.; Sierra Leone. Ist of Sept., at
8, A.M. ; left at 8, P.M.; Cape of Good Hope, 23d of
Sept., at 6, A.M. Homeward dates—Left Ist of
Oct., at 1, A.M. ; touched at Sierra Leone on the
17th of Oct., at 1, A.M. ; St. Vincent's on the 226,
at 1.30, A.M.; and arrived at Plymouth on the sth of
Nov., at 9, A.M.
The intelligenCe from the frontier is still more
alarming than that by the Birkenhead, the revolt and
disturbances having spread from the mouth of the
Buffalo to Mosheth's country and the Basutos. An
aggravating feature in the last fatal attack on our
troops, by combined Hottentots and Kafirs, was the
employment by the former of fierce dogs, which
pulled down several of our troops and rendered them
an easy prey to the clubs of their enemies.
Captain Oldham and many men of, the 2d Queen's
Regiment 'have been slain, and the 74th has lost some
men.

Price,

The severe losses of the British troops on the 9th of
September have induced the inhabitants of Graham's
Town to make a den:4ol.4on of their strength.
Accordingly, on the I 8 *a musteibf Use odalt
lation took place, and they formed a single line of
cavalry and a double line of infantry on the town
lands. On the 20th they were to muster again, to
elect officers, preparatory for an attack by the Kafirs.
They were in great want of artillery.
Bread has risen 50 per cent. at the Cape, and a
further rise is expected on the arrival of more troops.
The Bosphorus brings mails of importance, in
charge of Commander Woolridge. The bags will be
forwarded by the north mail-train, which leaves at
noon.

Passengers from the Cape—Mr. Maynard, Miss
Maynard, Miss E. Maynard, Miss F. Maynard, Mr.
Greig, Mr. H. Greig, Mr. Twentyman, Mr. Bonhote,
Miss Elliott and servant, Captain Byrne, Mr. and
Mrs. Knott and child. _

The General Steam Screw Shipping. Company's
mail-packet Sir Robert Peel, Captain Boxer, left the
Cape on the 24th of September, six days before the
Bosphorus, and sailed from St. Vincent's on the 21st
of October, one day before the Bosphorus. The Sir
Robert Peel is hourly expected at Plymouth.
The Bosphorus left at Cape St. Vincent the United
States brig-of-war Perry, Commander Foote; the
Royal Mail steamer Teviot, from England ; the coal-
ships Cargey, Charlotte Whitmore, and Dolphin ;

Commodore Wyvil and the Sidon were at Simon's
Bay. The Styx was in Table Bay. The Retribu-
tion and the Cyclops were gone to the Buffalo. The
Hermes was at Table Bay, preparing to sail with
levies for the Buffalo, whence she would proceed to
the Mauritius, and then, in all probability, join the
fleet on the East India station.

(From the Postscript to the Cape Royal Mail Monthly
Dispatch of Sept. 30.)
The only intelligence from the frontier, brought by
yesterday's post, is, that Colonel Eyre is appointed to
the command of the district of Albany, and was ex-
pected to fix his head-quarters near Governor's Kop, a
central and commanding position, overlooking the Fish
River Bush and an extensive range of country, or at
Driver's Hill, near Committee's Drift. He would have
under him 400 infantry, and about 80 horsemen. Burnt
Kraal, near Graham's Town, had been again attacked by
about 40 Hottentots; two Europeanswere wounded, and 70
head of cattle carried off. Two Kafirs were shot in an
attempt to drive off some oxen from a lager near Cuyler-
vine; Lower Albany.
In the Zuurberg the colonists have repulsed the Ka-
firs in several sharp actions, in which 34 of them were
killed, together with two of the Boers, and another
wounded. The farmers of Uitenhage, it is reported, are
willing to go to the front when called upon, having
nearly freed themselves from the presence of the enemy.
Major Somerset was collecting a force preparatory to
another attack on Macomo.

It is stated that Moshesh has suspended any hostile
movements against the handful of troops in the sovereignty
until he learns the result of an appeal to his Excellency
for inquiry and redress. This is quite in accordance
with his known wish to remain at peace with the British,
end is an example of forbearance which might perhaps
advantageously be followed elsewhere.
FISH RIVER PATROL. KING WILLIAM'S Towx,
SEPT. 17.—We have just returned from our fatal patrol
to the Fish River Bush. The facts are so well known,
that I need not repeat them. Never in my life did
anything so affect me as the sight of the brave men
of the 2d Queen's, wounded on the 9th instant;
their agony and groans would have pierced a
heart of stone; and all this suffering occasioned by a
lurking set of scoundrels, who will rot come out and
give us fair play. I hope that Sir Harry
win punish
these fellows for their murders ; but, from what I have
seen, many—very many—of us will yet bite the dust
before the war is over. The Kafirs, while in the bush,
fight like devils, but will not come. out to face us.
Nothing can be done further, until more troops arrive to
enable us to attack them in sufficient force. From long
experience I am convinced that for a stand•up fight
nothing in the shape of Kafirs is equal to the Umam-
babi (Eno's tribe); they convinced mu of that in January,
when we were on patrol near the Iquibika, where we
lost poor Lieutenant Fletcher, of the 73d. In our late
affair, from what I could see, the Kafirs and Hottentots
were not so numerous—but such a position, and so well
defended, we seldom meet with. Little blame can be
attributed to any. Colonel Mackinnon did all he could,
so dense
but the bush was reallythat once in, our
only care was to get out of it. Little hope is entertained
for the eight or ten poor fellows of the 23 Regiment,
that missed their way, and were lost ; no doubt they
have fallen a sacrifice to the ruthless foe. What a
shocking idea to fall alive into the hands of such a foe 1
,
Death, a thousand times, is preferable.
We brought with us to this place fifteen wounded,
left about twenty in hospital at Fort Peddle ; ten, who
died of their wounds were buried there. All the poor
fellows we brought with us will, it is thought, get over
their wounds, but fears are entertained for most of those
left behind. People here fancy they can read in his Ex-
cellency's countenance anything but satisfaction at the
present state of affairs. I hope it may be so. It is now
expected that Kreli will throw off the mask, and Um-
hala spenly declare against us ; but a deal of suspicion
and fear hes obtained here respecting Faku's late move-
ments ; a few weeks will develop more than we can pos-
sibly guess at the present movement. One thing is cer-
tain, the Kafirs do not want peace, unless on their own
terms, yet."—Frontier Times.
OLIPHANT'S HOEK, SEPT. 15.—We have bad beauti-
ful rains here, and all the " vleys" are full. Our cattle
will soon improve; and as they will not now have far
to go from the camp for food and water, it will not be so
easy for the Kafirs to get off with any. Several houses
have been burnt lately—amongst them that of Messrs.
Hinds. A few days ago,

merit on these anabuscading savages. It is to be
deplored that the, insaflieient amoulat of European forces
has necessitated the partial employment of na-
tive levies. These are treated by the rebels
with distinguished favour, which, we may presume,
is in many cases reciprocated. Another evil arises
out of the unobstructed intercourse of friendly natives
with the various forts and camps occupied by our troops.
It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that information
of the strength and rotate of every patrol is quickly
transmitted to the enemy, who is able at discretion to
waylay or avoid us without much risk. They are evi-
dently in communication with traitors within the colony,
for the coloured people are often found blabbing the
news they have received several hours before the arrival
of the regular post.
" The most disastrous event of the war occurred dur-
ing Lieutenant-Colonel Mackinnon's patrol through the
Fish River bush. Two companies of the 2d, supported
by a party of levies, were detached from the centre line
of march to scour a defile, and rejoin the main body at a
specified point about tsVo miles off. The levies managed
to sheer off, leaving their regimental comrades to be lite-
rally surrounded and massacred. In this miserable
affray Captain Oldham and a great part of the grenadier
and light companies were cut to pieces. To quote from
the general order, ' Captain Oldham fell as becomes a
soldier; the fame of valiant deeds ever outlives the man,
asd posterity will class Captain Oldham among British
heroes, as well as those soldiers of his grenadiers who
shared his fall.

" Colonel Fordyce, with .a part of the 74th, made an
advance upon the Broome bush, near the Waterkloof,
where he twice sustained a formidable attack of upwards
of 2,030 Rafirs au 4 flotti?ntbexte-dbLhiiiiiwag; and..
butltrtw's panic of the.4oWßertrfort Fidgtiis; while
threading a narrow bush-skirted defile, would have sus-
tained no serious loss. Many extraordinary instances
of personal valour and strength are recorded of the 74th,
while fighting baud to hand, as the larking natives now
and then dared to emerge from the concealment of the
bush.

" Our troops are being collected. The Lancers and
Rifles have arrived, and proceeded without delay to the
frontier. A simultaneous withdrawal of the Kafirs from
'the advanced hiding-places indicates a concentration of
their forces for some fresh effort. Some apprehensions
had been entertained at Graham's Town of an attack to
be made upon that place, as soon as 5,000 natives should
assemble in the neighbourhood: A wounded deserter
gave the information, together with the alarming intel-
ligence that nearly half the required force had been
collected. The inhabitants have, in consequence, mar-
shalled themselves into a provisional guard, convenient
localities being agreed on for mutual defence in case of
actual onset. The demonstration of their readiness to
repel any attack was expected to be sufficient; though
precautions can ever be regarded as unnecessary in
dealing with treacherous savages, aided, we lament to
say, by resident traitors within our gates.
" By the post just arrived we learn that Colonel Eyre
has been directed to occupy an important station midway
between Graham's Town and the Fish River; an ap-
pointment which has given great satisfaction to the re-
sidents of the district."

(Form the Cape Town Mail of Sept. 30.)
" The report of the present state of affairs in our
colony is likely to be received at home with any feelings
but those of satisfaction. As regards the war, it is suf-
ficient to say that four severe engagements, besides
several skirmishes, have been fought within the space of
a fortnight, and that the losses experienced have been of
a magnitude unexampled in Kafir warfare. About 50
on our side have been killed, and as many wounded. It
is true that these disastrous losses have resulted not from
real defeats, but from accidents which are almost un-
avoidable in this species of warfare. In one case, a
small detachment has lost its way and fallen into am-
buscade; in another, a panic among a party of Fingoes
has given a momentary advantage to the enemy. In
both cases our soldiers behaved with their usual steady
bravery; and they are considered to have been ably
manoeuvred by their commanding officers. But the
result has been none the less fortunate, particularly in
its effect upon the native population, disheartening our
adherents and inspiriting the enemy. The Kafirs and
rebel Hottentots within the colony, who are chiefly con-
centrated in the Fish River Bush and the Kaga Moun-
tains, are supposed to number not less than 6,000 fighting
men. They appear to be as daring, as confident, and as
well supplied with ammunition and food as at the com-
mencement of hostilities. There is generally con-
sidered to be no prospect whatever of an early termina-
tion of the war.

" Our political affairs are in an equally unsatisfactory
condition. An elective assembly, with a Government
possessing the confidence of the colonists, might be ex-
pected to provide the most effectual means that the
colony could furnish for bringing the war to a close.
Such an assembly and such a government have been pro-
mised, but, strangely enough, it is now deelared that the
fulfilment of the promise must be delayed until the close
of the war. The medicine is not to be administered until
the patient is quite well. Such is the wisdom of our
State physicians. The British nation pays for the blun-
ders of these political empirics, and the unfortunate
colonists suffer the consequences of their mismanagement.
" The Frontier Post arrived yesterday afternoon,
bringing intelligence from Graham's Town to the 23d,
and from King William's Town to the 20th inst. A few
depredations are reported, but not so many as usual.
The enemy was supposed to be concentrating his forces
fJr some important muvement. Much satisfaction had
been caused at Graham's Town by the appointment of
Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre to command in the district of
Albany, and Major Wilmot at Fort Peddie. The former
officer, with a force of 400 infantry and 70 horse, was to
take post about 15 miles east of Graham's Town, occu-
pying Driver's-hill and Waay Plasts.

Major-General Somersei was drawing together his
forces, and preparing, as was supposed, fur another at-
tack upon the enemy in the Kaga Mountains."

partly founded on the above circumstance, that they are
meditating. mischief upon an enlarged and more exten-
sive scale than heretofore. It is certain that the warlike
spirit of the Kafirs has risen considerably since the un-
fortunate affairs with the troops related in former com-
munications. It is a satisfaction, however, to learn that
the Governor is at length purposing to provide more
effectually for the protection of the colony. Col. Eyre is
about to form a strong camp at Driver's-hill, in the vi-
cinity of Committee Drift, one of the most notorious
Kafir paths on the Fish River, and Major Wilmot will
take the command at Fort Peddie, where hitherto,
Captain Cahill has been stationed with a body of troops.
We learn these particulars by the Kafirland post, which
arrived on Monday morning.
" By the same post, also, letters have been received
from beyond the Kei, which represent the Kafir tribes
there as in a very unsettled and turbulent state. Another
such affair as that with the 2d Regiment, and we shall
probably have the whole force of Kafirland brought to
bear upon the colony. By an express received from
General Somerset's camp, it is ascertained that he is
gathering about him the various parties of the 91st Re-
giment, which have been stationed at detached posts, so
that it is presumed ho purposes making some great
movement.

"Yesterday, a considerable number of waggons left
town, to asserabe at Botha's-hill, whence they are to
proceed to-day, under strong escorts, to Trompetter's
Drift, Fort Peddie, Fort Beaufort, and Fort Hare. It
is thought not unlikely that those for the former two
places may meet with some interruption in the Fish
River Bash.

" It is reported here on what authority we know not,
that the artillery from Cape Town, with the men in
charge of it, has been landed at Port Elizabeth, and is
now on its way up to Graham's Town.
" We find we have been rather premature in the re•
marks made at the commencement of this letter. We
have just now heard that last night eight spans of oxen
were taken by Hottentots from Brunt Kraal, near this
town. They were the property of Mr. Goldswain and
Mr. Honey. Two of the herdsmen were wounded, the
one being shot in the leg, and the other in the foot.
Pursuit was made and about ten of the oxen were re-
captured."

The Shipping Gazette of the 26th of September
has the following :
"The intelligence received from the frontier since our
last publication is of a very melancholy character. On
the Bth inst., Lieutenant-Colonel Fordyce, with a force
of about 600 men, of whom about half were regular
troops, chiefly of the 74th Regiment, proceeded to the
Kroome heights, in the neighbourhood of Waterkloof,
with a view of endeavouring to check the depredations
of the enemy in that quarter. In an open plain, on the
summit of Kroome-ridge, he was furiously assailed by a
large body of Kafirs, estimated at no less than 2,000 in
number. After a sharp engagement, which lasted about
twenty•five minutes, the assailants were beaten off, with,
as was believed, considerable loss. The ammunition of
the troops being then more than half expended, and
their supply of provisions being scanty, Colonel For-
dyce determined to return to the camp. Unfortunately,
while marching along a narrow pass, the Fingoes, who
had behaved very well during the engagement, was
struck with a sudden panic on the approach of a body of
Kafirs, and rushed down upon the two rear companies
of the 74th, who were thus crowded up together and pre-
vented from using their arms. The Kafirs,' Colonel
Fordyce states in his report, seeing their advantage,
rushed from the bush, shooting and stabbing many of
our men while thus disabled.' Eight men of this
gal-
lant corps were thus slain, and as many wounded. Se-
veral of the Fingoes also fell. The enemy kept up their
fire until the detachment had cleared the bush,it no
further mashies were experienced.
"On the following day (the 9th) an accident of a
somewhat similar character, but attended with more dis-
astrous consequences, took place - oh the Fish River
Bush, near Double Drift. A detachment, consisting of
two companies of the 2d Regiment under Captain Old-
ham, with a party of the Levies, was seat by Colonel
Mackinnon to scour the bush in one direction. After
entering tho forest, the companies of the 2d unfortu-

NEW RAILWAY IN THE MANUFACTURING Dn..
TRIOTS.—A company has been formed for making a new
railway between Leeds and Bradford; and application will
be made in the next session of Parliament for powers to con-
struct it. Nearly all the shares will be taken by the pro-
moters, who are wealthy people resident in Leeds, Bradford,
and Halifax. It will be remembered that some months ago
the Court of Queen's Bench issued a mandamus to compel
the directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com-
pany to make a branch line from Bowling, near Bradford, to
Leeds, which would have accommodated a very large ma-
nufacturing population, in the populous towns between Leeds
and Bradford ; but the company having taken no steps in
the matter, their powers have now lapsed, and they cannot
make it without having additional powers granted to them
by Parliament. The object, therefore, of this new company
is to make an independent line, which will reduce the dis-
tance between Leeds and Bradford from thirteen to about
nine miles, and will greatly facilitate the coal and merchan-
dise traffic between Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax.

The Cape Monitor of the Ist of October has the
of
following interesting summary of the operations on
the frontier:—
pri`o`rSitnocetheoudreplassrttursenmomf

of the Ksfirs and their rebel allies had alarmed the fron-
tier districts of Cradock, Somerset, and Albany. The
farmers everywhere mustered in self-defence, and be-
haved gallantly. On the disappearance of the enemy
from Albany Colonel Eyre returned to head-quarters.
The 2d Regiment lost no time in taking the field, under
their gallant colonel. Their ardour was worthy of a
nobler foe. Being new-comers and unacquainted with
the country, they were attacked is the most determined
manner. The result was such as might have been
anticipated. Though every bush had been transmuted
into a swarm of Kafirs, and though every thorn had
become •an assegai, yet little loss of life would have
ensued but for the lamentable desertion of the Cape
Hottentots, our former spoiled pets, many of them
trained marksmen. The [casualties on the part of the
2d Regiment have been unusually numerous, not
without, however, the ;infliction of a severe punish-

nately got separated from the more experienced men or
the Levies, and fell into an ambuscade. The greater
part of them were cut off by an overwhelming force of
the enemy, and the whole would probably have been
massacred but for the advance of Lieutenant-Colonel
Michel to their aid. The loss in killed and wounded is
reported to have been upwards of 60, nearly all of the
2d Regiment, including the aomrnanding officer, Captain
Oldham. Colonel - Mackinnon, at the last accounts
(August 13), was still on patrol near the Fish River
Bush, and was believed to have been again engaged with
the enemy in that fastness.
"From the Sovereignty we have not intelligence of
the arrival of the force sent from Natal, comprising two
companies of the 45th Regiment and 600 Zulus, to the
aid of the British Resident. The use which this
officer intended to make of this reinforcement was not
known."

CAPE TO WN, OCT. 1.
Since the departure of -the Sir Robert Peel on the
24th ult., two frontier mails have reached this. They
add but little to the intelligence forwarded by that
steamer. Colonel Mackinnon's official report of the
affair in the Fish River Bush has been published, which,
together with Sir Barry Smith's general order on the
occasion, is enclosed. The return, giving 75 casualties,
including six officers, is more serious than was at first
supposed.
Colonel Eyre, of the 73d,
has been appointed to the
command of Lower Albany, which has given great satis-
faction. No further actions have taken place, and but
few depredations have been committed. It is thought
that the numerous marauding parties have been called
together previous to_ some importnnt movement on., the

From the Sovereignty nothing more has been received
The troops at Natal are at Winburg, and the 600
Zoolas at Bloemfontein. Major Warden is said to be
waiting dispatches from the Governor before he makes
any movement. Mosech, it is also stated, has suspended
all hostile operations until he hears the result of an ap-
plication made to his Excellency for inquiry and redress.
Refreshing rains have fallen all along the frontier.
On the coast, however, the weather has been severe.
Four vessels have been lost in the different bays—
viz., the Albina, St. Helena, G. H. Harrison, and the
Foam.

The Charlotte, with the head-quarters of the Lan-
cers, has not yet made her appearance; :she is more
than 80 days out. Her Majesty's steamer Styx, which
arrived yesterday, from England, to relieve her Ma-
jesty's steamer Hermes, ordered to the East, will wait
their arrival and convey them to the Buffalo. The
Hermes leaves for Simon's-bay to-day, where she will
take in horses and the artillery, and land them at East
London, en route to the East. The Sidon steam-frigate
is expected round to-day. She will take in coals and
return to England, steaming part of the way.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Gan-
ges, Captain Marshall, arrived on the 26th, having made
the run from Southampton in 37 days and 22 hours.
The barque Royal Saxon, with coals for her, in
entering Table Bay this morning, went on shore in a
fog, but it is expected she will get off. The Styx has
gone to her assistance.

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
Head-quarters William's Town, Sept. 17, 1851.
His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief directs the
publication of the following documents for general in-
formation.

H. L. MAYDWELL, Military Secretary.
(Copy.)

King Witliaiai'sTown, Sept. 17, 1851.
Sir,—l have the honour to report that, according to
your Excellency's instructions, I marched from this
station on the 6th init. with a force of 1,200 men, detail
as per margin.•
I detached Lieutenant-Colonel Michel with a part of
the force by Fort Wiltshire, and proceeded myself with
the supply waggons by Line Drift.
On the 7th inst. the whole force met at Fort William.
On the Bthinst. I moved to Foonah's Kloof.

During the march I saw at a short distance to the left
of the road the K.Ars drive some cattle into a deep
valley which leads down to the Fish liver, and I made
arrangements for attempting their capture the following
morning.

On the 9th inst., leaving a sufficient force for the de-
fence of the wagons, I marched at half-past 3 AM. I
detached Lieutenant-Colonel Michel with the 6th Regi-
ment. Catty's Riflemen, Armstrong's Horse, and 50 of
the levy to the right of the valley where I had seen the
cattle, and proceeded myself with two companies of the
Queen's, the detchmeut of the 73d Regiment, and Cape
Corps, to the left of this valley.
I directed Comm:ndant Davies, with 50 of the levy
and the guides, supported by the 200 of the Queen's under
Capt,in Oldham, to enter the valley and follow the traces
of the cattle.

After detaching Commandant Davies and Captain
Oldham I watched their progress for some time, and saw
them burn some buts at the upper part of the valley.
Some firing took place, hut it ceased, and the detach-
ment entered the valley on the traces of the cattle. I
then proceeded along the high ground to the left of the
valley, intending to gain a rising ground about two
miles distant, from which point I could observe their
progress. I. however, soon perceived a large body of
Kafirs and Hottentots at some distance to my kfr, and
I moved to attack them. I extended the two companies
of the Queen's in skirmishing order, keeping the 73d in
reserve. The Queen's engaged the enemy with great
spirit, and drove bim into a deep valley or kloof, which
runs down towards the Fish River. As the enemy pos-
sessed a great advantage here in firing upwards at our
men I withdrew the Queen's from the edge of the kloof
and formed the 73d in skirmishing order behind the
scattered bushes at some distance from the kloof, retir-
in.. the Queen's through the intervals of the 73d. My
object was thus to draw the enemy into more favourable
ground for us. This manoeuvre was entirely successful.
The enemy thought we were retreating. He came out
and suffered heavily. I then proceeded towards the
rising ground before mentioned, from which I hoped to
obtain a view of the detachment in the valley. I did not
reach it till ten o'clock, when, seeing nothing of the de-
tachment and hearing no firing, I concluded that Com-
mandant Davies and Captain Oldham had scoured the
valley and had effected their junction with Lieutenant-
Colonel Michel.

The enemy now appeared again in our rear and
flanks, apparently intending to oppose our progress
towards the camp. We again drove them off, but they
did not fight with the same spirit as before. On reach-
ing the road between Fort Peddie and our bivouac I
found Captain Minton with 180 Fingoes awaiting me.
He had been accidentally detained at Fort Peddie beyond
the time at which he was directed to march.

Up to this time we had had three privates of the
Queen's wounded, two of whom are since dead, and two
privates of the Royal Marines, and two of the 73d
wounded. It was only at this period of the day (eleven
o'clock) reported to me that eight privates of the Queen's
were missing. My men were too much exhausted (they
had been marching and skirmishing incessantly for 7f
hours) to retrace their steps in search of them, but I sent
the Cape Corps and Fingoes, with the captain of the
company to which the missing men belonged, to search
the ground near the point where they had last been
seen. The search was unsuccessful. I returned to our
bivouac at a quarter before one.
Lieutenant-Colonel Michel returned with his detach-
ment to the bivouac at a quarter before four o'clock. He
reported having met with no opposition. lie worked

being circuitous), and after twice crossing the Fish

River entered the mouth of this valley. He effected a
junction with the detachment under Captain Oldham
and Commandant Davies, about nine A.M., at a most
critical moment. It appears that the enemy attacked
the rear of the detachment soon after they entered
their front. The levies and guides outmarched the
Queen's, and the latter got separated, Captain Oldham

the detachment to bring away their wounded in safety.
Oa the 10th inst. I proceeded to Breakfast Vley for
the purpose of co-operating with Lieutenant-Colonel
Eyre, who was to. have moved from Committee's that
morning. He had, however, been diverted from his in-
tended movement, and had made a night march by the
Goga upon a hill to the left of the road between Break _

.ade arrangements for again scouring the valley where
th division suffered BO severely on the 9th.
n the 13th inst. I detached Lieutenant-Colonel
M 31,121 with the 6th, Catty's Riflemen, and 100 of the
,Queen's, to the right, over the ground he before tra-
versed. I sent Major Armstrong with the cavalry, the
Levy, and 100 of the Queen's, to the rising ground on
the left of the kloof, and I proceeded myself with the
73d, 100 of the Queen's and the Fingoee, down the
kloof. We had a drenching rain all day, and either this
or the large force we displayed deterred the enemy from
any serious opposition. A few shots only were fired at
us as we entered the kloof, bat the troops suffered no
loss. We thoroughly scoured the kloof down the Fish
River, and formed a junction with Lieutenant-Colonel
Michel near the river. On our way down the kloof we
found a number of dead Kafir:, which confirms the ac-
count given by a Kafir prisoner whom we captured, that
the enemy suffered severely from the fire of Captain
Oldham's detachment.
On the 14th I proceeded to Breakfast Vley.
On the 15th I moved at 4 A.m. in the direction of
Committee's, towards the point where Lieutenant-
Colonel Eyre's combat of the 10th was fought. A body
of Kaftrs and Hottentots drew up to oppose us, but were
quickly routed by the 6th and 73d regiments. We oc-
casioned them severe loss, but had one private of the 6th
killed, and one of the same regiment wounded. I moved
on the afternoon of this day to the Goga.
Oa the 16th, sending the waggons under Lieutenant-
Colonel Michel, with the 6th Regiment, two companies
Queen's, and Armstrong's Horse, round by Line Drift, I
proceeded with the remainder of the division by the
mouth of the Qalagha to the Tamaka. We captured a
few cattlo and eight horses on our march, killing several
Kefirs.

I returned this day to King William's Town.
I annex a return of the casualties which occurred
during these operations, including Lieutenant-Colonel
Eyre's loss on the 10th inst.
I have to bring to your Excellency's notice the great
exertions of the troops, and to express my thanks for
the aid I received from the officers commanding the dif-
ferent corps. I beg to thank Lieutenant-Colonel Michel,
commanding the 6th regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre,
commanding the 73d regiment
; Lieutenant-Colonel
Burns, commanding the
Queen's; Lieutenant Harris
commanding the Royal Marines; Major Armstrong+,
eoicroandin.the Mounted Levy; Captain Campbell,
commanding detachment of the Cape Corps; Captain
Catty and Commandant Davies, commanding the laview,
I beg also to thank Major Pinckney, 73d regiment; and
Major Robinson of the Queen's, for their exertions while
commanding detached parties under me.
Lieutenant-Colonel Michel mentions the services of
Major Wilmot. R.A., and Lieutent Pasley, ILA., who
acted as staff officers to his columns.
I flay, received every possible advantage from the
energy and ability of Captain Faunce, my Brigade
Major, and Lieutenant Whitemore, Cape Mounted
Rifles, who acting as my Aide-de-Camp, rendered
most efficient services.
The officers of the medical department deserve my
warmeat acknowledgments for their attention to the
wounded.—l have, 8.7.c._

Camp, Fort Montgomery Williams, Sept. 11, 1851.
Sir, - I have the honour to report that I moved with
the force under my command, as per margin,f on the
morning of the 91 inst., from Trompeter's Drift to Fort
Peddie, and being there joined by 100 Fingoes under
Captain Rae I proceeded to the Goga, where I halted
for a few hours, with the intention of reaching by day-
light, on the following morning, one of the enemy's
positions on Committee's-hill.
Soon after daylight on the 10th inst. the enemy
showed himself, but not in sufficient force, as I con-
ceived, to make it worth while to attack hip. I there-
fore moved on, on observing which he came forward with
great boldness and in considerable numbers, shouting
and evidently challenging us to combat. I instantly
halted and determined to attack him. The Hottentot
rebels, in number at least fifty, were drawn up in two
ranks, like regular troops; the Kafirs were so scattered
that it would be impossible accurately to enumerate them,
but they were in considerable force and advantageously
posted. They were drawn up in various groups on the
brow of a hill, with a valley and dense bush in front,
between the enemy and us. Round the head of this
valley, and to our left, was a connecting ridge, over
which several paths led through an open bush that was
perfectly practicable to all arms. I directed Major
Armstrong to make a dash with his mounted force to
seize this ground, thence to threaten the enemy's right
flank, and to cut him off from a deep kloof,
into which be would probably endeavour to escape.
With the three companies of the 73d and the Fins
goes I moved at once through the bush to attack the
enemy in front. The enemy made against us but a
feeble resistance. He evidently sided oft, as we ad-
vanced, to our left flank to attack the Cape Mounted
Rifles and Armstrong's horse, as they attempted to
cross the head of the valley on our left. Major Arm-
strong dismounted his men, and in skirmishing order
held the ground with great spirit. As the main force of
the enemy was evidently there—the enemy having
changed his position as we advanced—l halted and
moved to Major Armstrong's support. I found him
warmly engaged with the enemy, who lay scattered
and couc-sied within a tew yards' distance behind
thick bush. On reaching the ground I immediately ex-
tended the Grenadiers of the 733, who, led on by Capt.
Bewes, gallantly dashed into the bush under a sharp
fire, driving the enemy and pursuing him down to the
bottom of the kloof, and burning or destroying all his
numerous huts which were concealed in the bush. Se-
veral articles were found showing the luxury of these
eebels, who were evidently living on what they could
plunder from the colony. The enemy made several at-
tempts to steal on our flanks, but were driven off on each
occasicn with great spirit. After repulsing the enemy
and silencing his fire I held the ground for above an
hour, when, perceiving nothing further to be done, I
retired from the po,iti,n, leaving a company in ambush.
in case the enemy might follow us, but he offered us no
farther resistance. I marched to Breakfast Vley, the
nearest point for water, where I joined the patrol under
Colonel Mackinnon.

It is with much pleasure that I am able to report the
admirable conduct on this cccesion of the Cape Mounted
Miles under Captaia Campbell. and Armstrong's Horse
under Captain Tekutech th., whole under Major
Armstrong. The brunt of the affair decidedly fell upon
them, and nobly did they respond to the call; they held
their ground with firmness until relieved by the 73d,
who with them speedily put the enemy to flight.
I beg to express my thanks to the following officers:—
To Major Armstrong, commanding the mounted force;
to Captain Bewes, commanding the 73d Regiment; to
Captain Rae, commanding the Fingoes, for his per-
sotal exertions and example; and to Lieutenant Gawler,
my acting adjutant. I was much obliged also to Mr,
Driver, a civth3n, who accompanied me from Fort
Peddle as a guide, and who gallantly assisted me in
the field.

Our casualties, I regret to state are considerable.
Three officers wounded severely—Lieutenant Walters
(73d Regiment), Ensign Thurby (Cape Mounted
1-Lifieo, and Captain Tekutsch (of Armstrong's Horse);
one man killed (Cape Mounted Rifles); three men
wounded (73d Regiment), of whom one mortally; and
three men of Armstrong's Horse, of whom one mor-
tally. The loss of the enemy must have been consi-
derable, but it is impossible to ascertain it.

I have, &a.,
WILLIAM EYRE, Lieutenant-Colonel, 73d Regiment,
