Potcnestroom was thrown into state OF con
siderable excitement last Thursday afternoon, the
ID inst, when 1t became known that the Rev. Mr..
Mckenzie. 80 anxiousiy expected here had arrived.
Tie excitement became intense wner IL was ascer-
taned that the reverend gentleman had brought IN
teegence OF late date direct from the Victoria gold
fields, WAS the bearer OF several letters from the
dlggers themselves, and, moreover, had brought
sample OF gold from the new diggngs. or course

the richer pieces parts or the same stone, had
already been forwarded TO his Exccllency SIR
Philip Wodenouse, ana also TO GrehaIn5oWn; these
pieces we have not seen, but the reverend gentle
man assures us that tney are richer far than those
brought BY him to potchefstroom, and that all are
parts OF tile same stone taken from the surface,
picked up close TO where the iiggcrs Gre now at

10 the 10Th OF July
from the Natal Mercury July al
The news from the gold Helds, received on Friday,
IL corroboraivc OF our previous adccs. IL must be
remembered that the letters from Secheli's town
brought TO Potcheisroom by ir Solomon, referred to
later discoveries by the dggers than those set forth
In the letters received subsequently, from them and
dated the ath OF May. Up to that time they mad boen
working in the valley OF the Iatn river, and had
been finding gold In small grains some OF which
were OF the size Of large pins heads. They were
then searching for the true reef, which, according to
the later int ligence received week before last they
subsequently discovered and found it to surpasS III
richness their expectations. Upon receiving this
latter Information which, II we are not very much
mistaken received before the regular direct let
tiers came to hand, Mr.. Mckenzie the missionary at
Matlenstown, had sent Off express kafrs To return
with reports and specimens. These We're daily cx-
pecteA at Seches, where Mr.. Mckenzie was to ar
rive rom MatJens. As soon as he appeared an ex-
press would be forwarded to Potcheisiroom, where
this further and final news was momentarily ex-
pected.
Our readers should mark the fact that this second
despatch gives w account Of only the earlier pro-
ceengs of the dlrgers after their arrival nj Ram9k
huoban, which they reached by nine instead or u
twelve days wagon journey. Ii IS highly satisfactory
to find that the natives quite friendly ana that
even Moselekatse needed only LITTLE diplomatic
treatment to secure his cooperation and TO secure
for digging parties admission to The northern gold
fields.
