January o. From Blappa. on the Volta River. 10
Prahsu is q distance OF 2lv miles. which mnst be
marched within nine days. Otherwise SIR Garnet
WOlseley will think Commissioner Clover might AZ
well nave never left England.
What Sir Garnet Wolseley intends to 40 with .
force OF about 5000 men ~ Prahsu | know not
nor can imagine. as Sir Garnet Is not Ia the
habit OF impartlng his intentions to gentlemen OF
the press. IL would be far wiser, in my opinion,
if Glover were permitted 10 choose his own route
TO Coomasse, and engage to meet him one days
march this side OF C0omassie, say at Sirroso0, on
the hither bank OF the Dah tributary OF the Prah.
Commissioner Glover would then have ample time
to run his troops up to Pong by steamer. whence
there but 200 miles to the village OF SrrOs0o on
the Dab River. The meeting might take place at
Sirrosoo the 23d or oath OF January, thus leav-
ing the Commissioner q margin OF eighteen days,
without in any way retarding the march upon
Coomassie OF Sir Garnet w0seey's force.
We may rest assured that man OF Giovers
energy and character, who could collect force
OF 5000 Africans within three months Is not one
to ask for one days delay unless upon grounds OF
utter mpossibility to do the feat imposed upon him
within the required time. II Glover mad nifty
more white officers under his command to assist
him the thing might be done, but doubt whetner
it can be done situated he Is. Each white regi-
ment has about thirty officers to command it. Sir
Garnet WOlse!ey has about three Of these regiments
by this time with him at Cape Coast Castle, which
furnish him in the aggregate with ninety officers.
Altogether Sir Garnet WOseley has about 200 white
officers under his command over force OF about -.
1900 men. Special Commissioner Glover has but
ten white officers to assist him In the command
and management OF $4,000 African savages, and
Special Commissioner Clover is expected to be on
the Prah River ov the 18th January, otherwise
he-but it need not be repeated.
