An Unexpected Termination Of the.
Zulu Y. ar.
King Cetewayo, Convinced OF tLs
Hopelessness Of Further Resist-
ance, Sues for Peace The
Details Not Yet
Arranged.

LONDON, June IAN unexpected and happy
termination Of the war In South Africa has.
occurred. Information to that effect has Just
reached here from Cape Town. According to
the advices received, John Dunn, the Eng
lishman who had long been the confidential
friend and adviser Of King Cetewayo, but who.
for some time has been with the English
forces, recently penetrated the lines Ct tho
Zulu army and obtained an audience with the
king. He took with him information which
convinced Cetewayo OF the greatness of the
British forces and Of the inevitable and dieaS-s
truuslresults to the King which would follow
continuance Of the war. He explained toE
Cetewayo that the resources Of the British
Empire were practically inexhanstble, and
that day after day ships would arrive at Cape
Golpny freiRhted with soldiers, and they
were certain in the end to overcome any re-
sistanee which the native monarch could
offer.
King Cetewayo confessed that he had lost
In the war thus far an immense number 0f
his best, bravest, youngest and most able
warriors, and tntimated to Dunn that he
would be willing TO treat for peace ON any
thing like honorable and reasonable terms.
Messengers sent direct from the king ar
rived at the advanced posts Of Gen. CreAl~
locks command, bringing message from
the King sqlng urgently for peace @ terms

people.
Gen. Chelmsford detained the messengers III
camp and communicated the substance of the
dispatches to Sir Bartle Frere. After re-
ceiving instructions from Frere, Lord Chelm8~
ford sent word to the Zulu King that peace
could only be made upon the condition thaf
the King should delegate full powers to thA
chiefs, or submit personally to such treaty -

Origin Of the Bonnie Blue Flag.

J During the last few days Of the Mississip.
pi Seeding Convention, In JAN, 1861, Har-
ry Mccarthy, supported by young lady.
who accompanied him in his original and
selected songs, was giving variety Of enter
tainments at Angeles Hall, jackson, Miss,
consisting Of songs, serious and comic, dane
ing, instrumental music, Sc. On the alter
noon Of the 9th Of January, Judge Wiley r.
Harris, late Chief Justice, and one of the
soundcst lawyers living, met the gifted
young Irishmsn on the street, and remark
ed
"Mac. the Convention will adopt the ordi-
nance Of secession sometime this afternoon
and you will have q large audience this
evening Permit me 10 offer suggestion !
Why can you moi compose song pertinent
to the occasions Give VS. a patriotic song
one which shall, perhaps, be universally re-
cclved as a national air---somethlng soul
string and patriotic, that may become as
immortal ~ the ordinance itself
Young Mccarthy caught the idea at
once, retired to his room. and In three or
four hours was singing, for the first time In
public, the Bonnie Blue Flag" to house
crowded TO It's utmost capacity And not
once, or twice, ort thrice only, did he sing the
new song that night but he was saco,ed
again and again, twelve or fifteen times at
least, until he became hoarse from singing
and the audience almost exhausted from ap.
plauding The scene was one which literal.
ly, must have been seen TO have been apprc.
ciated.
The dollar Of the daddies' was the
currency at that time, and the audience alb
solutely showered gold and silver over the

ed about the centre Of the hall. near sup
porting column. and who had evidently
taken on little extra patriotism beforehand
whose agility, under the excitement Of
the hour, was equal to the supremest test.
Wrapping his arms and legs about the pill.
lar, he climbed up until his head struck the
ceiling.
The accompaniment ON the piano was
well executed, and whilst singing, Mccarthy
promenaded the stage back and forth, wav-
ing his flag One verse especially, when
frst delivered, came near bringing down
the house" literally;

Was faithful TO her trust,
Like friends and like brothers,
We were kind--we were Just
But when Northern treachery,

From that hour there was nothing but the
Bonnie Blue Flag in Southern air. As the
visitors to Jackson returned home--north,
east, south and west--they spread il every.
where. The rigid critic Of the words, In the
light of this hour, may not feel their full
force as we expcrlnced II then; but, surely,
the "Marseillcs Hymn could not have been
originally more warmly received than was
our simple little Bonnie Blue Flag and OF
which one OF the first lawyers In the South
