English Aggressions in Africa.

The London Star makes steady, oonsis-
tent and effective war on the aggressive pol-
icy of England. 1t declares that England
is repeating in South Africa the same in
sane policy of annexation which has brought
her to the verge of perdtion in India. OF
this policy it says:
Half century ago, we had no. an acre of
land in South Africa. Now the area of
our dominions there extends over 260, 900
square milcsa country as lihgc MS the
whole Austrian empire. Ana, in the
name of justice and common sense, why
should we covct further territory in that
nart of the world, while we have already on
hands more than it is possible we can
n &c any profitable use, for generations to
come? And is there no danger that we
should, by our Unsuitable and unprinciplcd
greed for land, provoke in Africa an inter
necinc war of races, like that which has
lately threatened our utter determination
i'll India? 1t is pretty clear that thoughts
of this nature arc already beginning to
spread among the natives.
Int the speech Which the Governor address
scd, i'll March last, to the Cape Parliament
at the opening of the session, he declares
the chief, whose land he has Just occupied
" had been again intriguing, and proclaim
ing to his people that although at that mo-
mcnt there could, upon account oi TIC des-
titution, be no War, he looked forward to
speedy time when his people would be able
to renew hostiltics against the English;
that all the troops had gone to India from
England, but were SO ovcrpowcrcd by the
Indians, that ull the English troops had
left this colony for the purpose of assisting
their coumtrymcn and that it was to be
regretted that, whilst II race similar to their
own were ovcrpowcring the English in In
dia, the kaflirS were at the present moment
unable to follow up the success, aud fall
upon them in this country; but that lie
was looking forward to an opportunity, and
was dcvising plans for bringing on war"
These are ominous words, aud if they are
true, is the man who uttered them less
likely toreyolvc these schemes of vengeance
when he finds that he and his people have
been summarily disposcsscd of the IN
hcritrncc of their fathers And if such
war OF races should break out, and the Fin
goes who are settled within our borders,
and whose loyalty to US WAS in the highest
degree, doubtful and shaky during the last
war, should join the Kaffir and other tribes
the result may be terrible. In the eastcrn
province of the colony there are, at least,
eight black men to every white, and in Nat
forty black to every white. Under .s,rh
circumstances MS these, is it wise to cxaspcr-
ate the coored race by perpotually trcss-
passing on their lands, and by treating
them with habitu,l suspicion and severity
five do not wish to bc sadlled with the
expense of another Katlir war, we shall do
well to look to this in time

The Grafton.

The Grafton.
The commencement exercises of the Fur
man University, at Grccnyillc, passed off last
week. The Enterprise, rcmarking on the
Grafton delivered by Hon. JAMES CHESTNUT,
of Camden, says:
"Thc inject which Mr.. Chestnut had chos-
en- was very appropriate, and one which he
discussed in n most able and eloquent man
ncr: Progress. as evidenced by the growth
of Religion and Civil Liberty" The address
was presented to his audience in an easy and
| fluent style, uninterrupted by reference to
manuscript--as is too often the case in pub
lie orations. and which dctract materially
from their interest and beauty. Mr.. Ghost
nut, throughout, was listened to with pro-
found attention by his auditory, and we but
express the sentiment of all whom we heard
speak of it, when we say that it was, indeed,
most interesting and eloquent oration. We
presume it will be published by the Societies,
and generally distributed"
