rHE kArEIR WAR IN sOUTu AFRICA.

The prospect of the difficulties be-
tween the English and the Kaflirs and
Hottentots being soon settled, is very
slight. The accounts by the latest
arrival abound in reports of the out
RACES of the insurgents in stealing
cattle, burning buildings and numbering
those who fall into their power. The
infection was spreading, and the Cape
papers state that prospects look gloomy
enough. The power of the Kaiilrs
appears to be unbroken, and they are
animated by the belief that they shall
regain the ascendency in the country.
A writer in the South African Adj
vertiser states that two Of the rebel
chiefs, Stock and Seyolo, had sent a
message to Sir Harry Smith, asking
for palley with him, to which His
Excellcncy consented on condition that
their guns and weapons were given up.
The writer says that any peace which
would result from such patched up
negotiations is to be deplored, and that
it will not be acceptable TO the mass
of the people. In regard to the dis
persion of the Hottentots and Kailirs
at Kat river, by Col. Somerset, the
writer says:
" You will read in the papers the
termination of the Theopolis affair; a
miserable business; in fact, Somerset
has done worse than nothing; though
he concentrated force Of near 1000
men. 1t appears the rebels have dis
patched their women and children, and
few cattle they retained, towards
Caffreland, while body Of them re-
main in the camp, and who, no doubt,
will be reinforced by many from Bush
Hoek, ELEPHANTS Hook, and other
places; and that part of the country
will be a nest for all the discontented,
and before they can be routed out,
many--many lives must be sacrificed.
The Fngoes are becoming blood-thirS-
ty to degree that is appalling, and
it makes one shudder to anticipate
what this war will cngender in their
breasts. We must eventually suffer
severely from this race. | dread to
hear the result Of party Of these
Fingoes who are pursuing the fugitive
rebels and their wives and children:
as nothing can restrain their blood>
thirsty disposition, women and children
are sure to fall. Oh, how l do pray
we could carry on the war without
these people. Better, indeed, that the
war be ignobly terminated, than con-
tinue in tutoring the Fingoes to wak
low in blood, and obtain their lvcli>
hood by plunder.''
A letter from Banghcrsdorp, dated
May 10, states that that place was in
great danger of being every moment
attacked by the Tambookies. The
neighboring farms had all been desert
ed by their owners, who had fed more
towards the colony Many farmers
had been killed, and n great number
of cattle stolen. A letter from the
civil commissioner confirms the above,
and says that the boundary was in
most deplorable statc-that the camps
of the farmers had been attacked by,
hundreds of Kaflirs in open daylight,
carrying off the greater part Of their
sheep about 6,000) and nearly all
their horned cattle; in consequence
of which the farmers had all left the
frontier.
We might add many such para
graphs as the above, did our room
permit. Affairs are in a deplora-
able state, and it is not probable that
order will be restored, until a vast
amount Of treasure and of life haze
been sacrificed : Boston Tray.
