DURHAM. Natal. Sept. 80. 1879.
Although the war has terminated in Zululand. it
cannot be said that tranquility prevails in every
sense Of the word. Sir Garnet wolseley estab-
Iished . form Of government in Cetywayo's
country which throws it back into the barbarsm it

to come to those colonies to buy; and this in the
the fact that for years the trade Of Zuulsnd
has been drifting into the hands Of Delagoa Bay

questioned. John Dunn is q man who has very few
white qualities in him, and certainly q Kanr-

am not mistaken. will soon aspire to own the lot
