NATIVE POWER IN NEIV ZEALAND.

--------

The following extrect from a letter written by Dr. Neild,
of New Plymouth, will be found interesting :
"About ten miles from New Plymouth, New Zealand, a
deadly sti ifs is going on between two men and their fol-
lowers. Wirernu Kingi, always opposed to Europeans, and
nit° once openly, before hundreds of natives, called the
much boasted Sir George Grey a lying Governor;' this
chief, with 500 men, is besieging Ihaia, always a friend to
Europeans, with 120 men. Ihaia cannot hold out in his
fortress above a week, and then comes an awful massacre,
for Kingi's mob declare they will kill every man, woman,
and child in Ihaia's camp ; and Kingbi has sent a letter to
the commander of our garrison of 250 troops, to say that
when lie has done with Ihaia he will, in spite of a recent
proclamation of the governor, escort through the town
some of his allies from Omata, and, if molested, he will
`open a butcher's shop for selling the pakeha's flesh.' This
fellow is a church Maori, as all our worst rebels have been
—Heke Ranperaha and Rangihaeata, of the Wairan
massacre, &c. But he forgets one point. He may come
into the town, but he would never leave it alive.
He is so intensely hated that nearly all the settlers would
run any risk to shoot him. You have no conception of
the desperate irritation of mind towards this big savage
and his mob in the breasts of our people. And if the
Maories provoke a collision, my own belief is that they will
be nearly exterminated, and that nothing in North America
will be worse than the doings here. For nearly 20 years the
Government has pursued a temporising course. The Maories
believe forbearance to have meant weakness, and the settlers
have felt their intsrests sacrificed to savage caprice. They
have been driven from lands bought and paid for, and cooped
up within a territory of only six miles radius, whilst be-
yond this to the north lies a glorious country for fifty
miles, not forest but fern land, yet well watered and
timbera, of which the natives do not and cannot culti-
vate one acre in one thousand; and yet from this land
they have driven us and keep us. Our little settlement
contains or did 2,500 people. On 125 miles of coast in
our province there are 1,700 natives. I cannot wonder
that the temper of New Plymouth, after so long a time of
patient waiting and the endurance of insolence untold,
should be as it is. Most earnestly do I wish that the two
races could be reconciled to a new order of things, and
both sit down under English law and government. But our
Maories despise us and our laws, and our soldiers to hoot.
Their civilisation is all fudge. They copy our dress and use
ploughs, &c., because the one is convenient and the other
brings them money; but they are savages still none the
less. I know the minds of two natives that brought on the
present contest; the most ferocious was a quiet seeming man
who hail lived ten years in town as a servant to one of our
merchants. No sepoy could be more dangerous.
" I will now describe a visit I lately paid to both the fight-
ing parties as temporary colonial surgeon, and in company
with two government officers of the native department,
before the militia were called out. The parties are placed on
the banks of the Waitara river, ten miles from the town,
headed by Wiremu Kingi, and Ihaia and Nicoruna. The
former heads from 400 to 500 besiegers; the latter chiefs
have only 80 or 100 men, and hosts of women and children.
The quarrel has reference to land. During the last four
years the natives have been taught by missionaries not to
sell the land. Hence sprung up the laud league. One of its
members here (Katatore) shot down a native chief magis-
trate, in British pay (Rawiri), and six other men, when en-
gaged in cutting the line of some land they wished to buy.
The Rawiri's friends were besieged by Katatore. Katatore
had 250 men from the south to help him, but Ihaia came and
rescued them, the price of his services being a piece of land,
on which, in Maori warfare, he had built a pah, which he
called Ikamvana, namely, Inkerman. This land he was
entitled to sell according to Maori customs. Meanwhile a
sort of peace was made, but not by Biala. Katatore nego-
tiated to sell land, and arrangements were nearly concluded,
when the vile, treacherous, Puketapu mob—the nuisance of
this place, instigated by Wiremu Kingi, it is believed, and
certainly by
Iwo native magistrates, paid £5O each per
annum by our government to keep the peace (oh! how
one's blood stirs to write this), laid a trap for Biala. They
laid a plot to murder Katatore, and got Ihaia to consent to it
and be concerned in it; but they were the conspirators;
party, not his own hand, did the murder, and then
the miscreants instantly jainedi Wiremu Kingi to destroy
Ihaia. Thus they got rid of Katatore, and now nearly of
Ihaia, and hoped either to keep their land or get all the
money for it themselves. Ihaia defended his Ikamvana pals
for some time; but as it was near our settlers, and not
wishing to endanger them, he left it and went down to his
land at Waitara, taking poot in his pah Te Kuraka. There
we went to see him. Riding through a splendid but unoccu-
pied county, we came to the river Waitara, a good stream,
navigable by boats and canoes, and fording it up to our
horses' girths, were met at the farther side by two videttes,
each with loaded double-barrelled guns. One went before,
the other followed us, first, past an encampment, chiefly of
women, cooking food for the men—a position well defended
by breast-high earthworks, with good loopholes for firing
from. The Maori, like the Turks, fights only under cover.
Thence, we zig-zagged along the face of a very steep cliff,
here and there passing small pickets of men and boys, all
armed with loaded guns, and at last were conducted to
head-quarters, namely, the deep trench of an old pall, well
posted, inaccessible from the river, save by our path ;
whilst its approaches on the other side were plain land.
Here we met in council the malignant Wiretn- Kingi and
the chiefs of his Tana,' or war party. The object of our
visit was broached, namely, that in the absence of our
colonial Burgeon, I, as his deputy, had come to dress the
wounded. Oh, yes, quite right, dress our men,' said
Kingi's party, but the rongoa,' or medicine, a term having
with the Maori the same broad meaning it has in North
America—' the medicine must not go to Ihaia.' `Oh, oh !
very nice this, dress you, and then let you forbid me—the
Government surgeon—to dress the other side; be at once
your partisan and slave, when every personal feeling revolts
from your treachery, cruelty, and malignancy.' A smart de-
bate arose, but argument was vain, and I refused to dress
any unless I might dress both. Yet thiswas painful and cruel
work, for close by, in a small hut, lay a Maori, with a ball
in his foot, who overheard the debate, and who made the
retnals, All, it is all very well for Wiremu Kingi to say
he would not send for the doctor to dress him, but I want
this ball out of my foot.' He died that day week ! Further
be it observed, that this same hateful Wiremu Kingi never
fights or runs one bit of risk himself. Like other big bul-
lies, he is a thorough coward. Yet, it is by the will of this
fellow, almost solely, that we get no land, and are virtually
ruined if we try to realise our investments. He has not one
wrong to urge against us, nor has his character one redeem-
ing point. I formally refused to act, unless I could act for
both sides, and so the matter ended. To keep honour
bright' even with these fellows, I gave them my kit' of in-
struments, dressings, and dinner, whilst we went to the be-
leaguered camp. These was no objection to our visiting it,
but `take no rongoa ;' our horses were accordingly left,
saddles and bridles on the ground, tethered in a patch of
oats, a crop wasted for war ; and passing other outposts of
earthwork and trees, loop-holed, as before described, we be-
gan to come near Ihaia's pah—sbouting and waving arms
and hats, to prevent longshots' at us in mistake. We
saw where the besiegers, a week before, had tried to
creep up to a second pah of Ihaia's through stauding corn,
but were seen and repulsed with some loss. Reaching
Ihaia's pah we passed through its double palisading and
and
visited the inmates, who looked, to my eye, hag„
harassed. One poor fellow was dying of consumption, and
two others, Luke' and Toby,' were shockingly wounded
w
by an ambuscade and skirmish, the results ofhich had
rd
brought me down-. One had seven tomahawk cuts—slashes
four inches long—and two musket-ball wounds, one at the
hip and out at the back, the other in at the thumb and out
near the wrist, in again in the upper arm and out of the
shoulder! Toby had a ball lodged against the bones of the
leg. Yet I must nor, in honour, help them, save, to-
day, 'dress them with water. I may here say I was
pronounced correct in what I did officially, and in a few
days after two settlers, a surgeoa and a merchant, rode
down, and, at great risk, stole into the pall, dressed
the men and removed the ball, and Luke and Toby are
well again. Wiremu Kingi's cruelty recoiled on him-
self, at least on his soldiers—and Baia was not hurt
by it. Leaving the pah, and again using precautions
to avoid long shots,' we went to the old Pukerangeora's
pab, where the ambush lay which had caught peo-
ple whilst out to get food. Two fine oxen of his, shot that
morning, lay dead to rot on the ground. I picked up two
ball-cartridges and my companions found a long broken-
handled tomahawk, a broken musket, a cap torn in front by
a ball, and some other clothing of the men killed. when Luke
and Toby were wounded. We soon found ourselves atnong,st
a dozen Maories, all with guns loaded and capped, nod whose
number quickly amounted to 28, by twos and three out of
the trenches of the old fortress. We told them of the clothes,
gun, and tomahawk, and with much impartiality we took
to Ihaia's men what had belonged to their comrades, and
went back to Wiremu Kingi with their friends' relics.
Another brief call at Karaka, an interview with
the two chiefs, Ihaia and Nikoruna (Isaiah and
Nicodemus), and then we returned to our horses
and Wiretnu Kingi's mob. We called at an out-
post full of men armed, and, asking for my kit, it was

down with him and showed them with much unction. Pity
he could not benefit by them. Whilst saddling my horse, a
Maori, a tarnata noa, or common man, made inquiries about
the wounded in Ihaia's pah, and the savage' fellow gloated
over every bit of detail about the wounds and cuts he could
wring out of tne. I told him as little as possible.
My four-and-a-half years amongst the finest race of
savagesin the world' brings me to assent to the remark that,
6 you may Christianise and civilise savage individuals but not
a nation.' And our missionaries who have laboured amongst
them 25 years are constrained sorrowfully to confess their
once hopeful converts are not only negligent and retrograd-
ing, but are worse than ever they knew them in heathen-
ism, . And I don't think our now virtual ascendancy will
he allowed by this warlike race until therelhas been, as Cal.
Mundy says, in ' Our Antipodes,' another, and, to the
natives, a surely fatal, appeal to arms.' I think it might be
averted with the greatest advantage to both sides; but I see
no signs save an ultimate tempest. My visit to this most
beautiful country—like the Tamar Valley, but richer even,
though uncultivated and bathed in the intense, clear sun-
shine of a New Zealand summer sky—ended by again ford-
ing the river near its mouth, up to my knees on my mare's
back—but a good wetting matters little here. We rode ten
miles on the black iron sand beach, in the teeth of a strong
S.W. wind, which made my lips sore for a fortnight, yet 1
took no cold. I must confess to having felt much interest in
seeing thus, in actual existence, Maori warfare, pahs, stock-
ades, &c., &c., yet I came away heavy-hearted; for if we
could but have fair play, and we want no more, I rather pre-
fer the Maoris' presence to their absence—whilst, as it is,
even a more Christian man than I am cannot easily take the
bitter draught we have to drain In our present mutual rela-
tions. However, our settlement is so palpably going to decay
that some step must be taken on our behalf. So much for
this ruinous, tedious Maori war of blockading and starving
out. We are at quiet again for a time, but 48 hours ago
Thole made a sortie, 30 of his men were killed, one belonging
to tsibes on the Whanganhni rivg; Who will now send men,
perhaps 30, do avenge him, and thus tribe after tribe gets
drawn, till it is impossible t 9 bow many may eventually
be collected here,"

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.

THE VOYAGE OF THE NIAGARA, AND THE
RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN AMERICA.

By the Northern Light we have received New York
papers, brimming over with despatches, letters, reports,
and lending articles relating to the success of the Atlantic
Telegraph ext.edition. rite public bath of the United
States and of Canada had brew wrought to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm, and their delight has manifested itself
in illuminations, torch-light processions, military parades,
salvos of artillery, and numerous other deatonstrations.
It is difficult, indeed, to convey, without but rowing a
great deal from their journals, an idea of the excitement
which prevailed.
The news reached New York on the sth inst., on the
afternoon of which day one of the papers published the
following "extra :"
"The news frona.Newfoundland is almost too good to be
true. The Atlantic cable is laid ! The United States steam
frigate Niagara, Capt. Hudson, and the British war steamer
Gorgon, Capt. Dayman, arrived at Trinity Bay yesterday
(August 4), and the Atlantic cable, the working of which is
perfect, is being landed to-day. All we can hope for now
is that the above important and exciting intelligence is true,
and that the Agamemnon and Valorous will succeed in laud-
ing their cable safely at Valentia Bay. This news will send
an electric thrill throughout the world."
Within a few hours two despatches were received from Mr.
Cyrus Field. One was to the mayor of New York :
"Trinity Bay, Aug., 8, 1858.—Sir,—The A lantic telegraph
cable has been successfully laid. C. W. FIELD." The
other was to the Associated Press of New York :
" Trinity Bay, Aug. 5, 1858.
" To the Associated Press, New York :
" The Atlantic telegraph fleet sailed from Queenstown on
Saturday, July 17; met at mid-ocean on Wednesday, the
28th, and made the splice at 1 p.m. on Thursday, the 29th,
and then separated—the Agamemnon and Valorous bound
to Valentia, Ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this
place, where they arrived yesterday, and this morning the
end of the cable will be landed. It is 1,698 nautical, 0r1,950
statute, miles frmu the telegraph house at the head of
Valentia harbour to the telempii house, Bay..of Bull's Arm,
Trinity Bay; and for-more the two-thirds of this distance
the water is over two miles in depth. The cab!e has been
paid out from the Agamemnon at about the same speed as
from the Niagara. The electrical signals sent and received
through the whole cable are perfect. The machinery for
paying out the cable worked in the most satisfactory man-
ner, end was not stopped for a single moment from the time
the splice was made until we arrived here. Capt Hudson,
Mess's. Everett and Woodhouse, the electricians and offi-
cers of the ships, and, in fact, every man on hoard the tele-
graph fleet, has exerted himself to the utmost to make the
expedition successful. After the end of the cable is landed
and connected with the land line of telegraph, and the Nia-
gara has discharged some, cargo telonging to the Telegraph
Company, she will go to St. John's for coal, and then pro-
ceed at once to New York.

" CYRUS W. FIELD."
The Mayor replied—" Sir,—Your despatch has been re-
ceived. I congra: ulate you fur myself and for the people of this
city on the success of the great work of uniting together the
Old and New World by the electric telegraph. Science,
skill, and perseverance have finally triumphed.—DANlEL
F. TIEMANN, Mayor of New York.,,
The following despatch was seat by Captain Hudson to
his family :

" Trinity Bay, August 5, 1858.
" God has been with us. The telegraph cable is laid
intimation of the event
without accident, and to Him be all the glory. We are all
first
tociated Press; he well.—Yours, affectionately, Wm. L. HUDSON."
The President of the United States, who was at Bedford,
through Pennsylvania, theee
subse-
quently received a short message from Mr. Field, in which
it was stated that the line would be kept clear for a message
to him from Queen Victoria. The following was the Presi-
dent's reply :

" Bedford, Pennsylvania, August 5,1858.
" To Cyrus W. Field, Trinity Bay.
"My dear Sir,—I congratulate you with all my heart on
,he success of the great enterprise with which your name is
so honourably connected. Under the blessing of Divine
Providence I trust it may prove instrumental in promoting
perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations.
I have not yet received the Queen's despatch. Yours, very
respectfully. " JAMES BUCHANAN."
We may here state that Mr. Buchanan, when it was pro-
posed tha: the first message should pass between the rulers
of the two nations, at once assented, and wrote the following
letter to Mr. Field:—
" My dear sir,—Accidental circumstances, which I need
not detail, prevented your kind letter of the 19th ult. being
brought under ray notice until this morning. I now hasten
to say I will feel myself much honoured if the first message,
as you proposed, sent across the Atlantic, be from Queen
Victoria to the President of the United States—and I need
not assure you he will endeavour to answer it in a spirit and
manner becoming a great occasion. Yours, very respt ctfully,
"JAMES BUCIIANAN."

Owing to an unfortunate accident to the land telegraph
wire somewhere iu Cape Breton we have no additional defi-
nite information respecting the landing of the Atlantic tele-
graph cable at Newfoundland. The land line of telegraph
to which the accident occurred passes through a wild9ruess,
and the work of repairing damages is one of no small diffi-
culty. The necessary repairs woull, we are assured, be
completed in a day or two.
" It is difficult," says the New York Herald, " to de-
scribe the state of feeling that pervaded this city yesterday
in relation to the news concerning the Atlantic cable. It
was the theme and subject for wondrous admiration for
every one during the entice day, from earliest noon till after
midnight:. The inquiries, relation of facts, and expressions
of hope and admiration. were on every one's tongue, and
beard by every one's ear, wherever one turned, and at every
hour during the foreeeon and afternoon. The rush for
the several editions of the Herald was almost unprece-
dented, and every despatch tended only to increase the anxiety
and produce additional sensation. It was universally felt
that the greatest triumph of human ingenuity and enter-
prise had been successfully accomplished beyond the
shadow of doubt. Nevertheless, it was apparent, from the
continued inquiries and the ever-increasing desire for
further news, that the people everywhere burned with
anxious feelings to hear something additional to what was
already known. People were frequently heard to ask,
Has the Queen's message arrived ? Others would remark
that they believed anything possible now. Some would
desire to know what the message and answer would be, and
conjectures—many of them the most ridiculous—concern-
ing the subject of the message, were kept up with great
spirit and tax of the inventive faculties."
Orders had been issued by Mayor Tiemann to have two
pieces of artillery ready to fire a salute of one hundred guns
en the reception of the next despatch from Trinity Bay.
The fellowing telegrams are selected from an immense
number received by our New York contemporaries from
various parts of the Union, all telling the same story of sur-
prise and delight : . _

" Washington, Aug. 5, 1858.
" The public mind was greatly excited to-day by the news
of the success of the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise. The
general impression at first was that the news was too good
to believe, but the cosfirmation of the news has caused a
feeling of delight, amounting almost to transport."
"Albany, Aug. 5.
" The telegraph office and other public offices are illumi-
nated to-night in 11 'flour of the successful laying of the At-
lantic telegraph cable. The people are wild with excite-
ment."

" Boston, Mass., Aug. 5.
"The announcement of the successful laying of the At-
lantic telegraph cable was made shortly after noon to-day,
and created great excitement. The favourable termination
