The Basuto War.

We are permitted 20 make the following inter
esting extracts relating to the outbreak Of the
Basuto war in South Africa, from letter dated
December 7th, 1850, written at Kokstad. East Girl
qualand 20 n relative in this city.
tSince the ith Of October we have been sur
rounded on every side by We are living close
beside tribe called Basutos they numerous,
war-like, and wealthy in cattle. sheep and horses.
Government decided that they should be dsarined
and all the other tribes of Africans living Ia the
Cape Colony. But the Basutos refused to give mp
their guns, and when armed force was sent 10
enforce the law the Basutos resisted and rose in
rebellion. Then other tribes, Pondanise. Tcmhas.
Tamboolies &c, &c, joined them Our Chief
Magistrate here-a nice quiet old gentleman. with
others, they closed up in natural fortress whero
they had neither food nor water. They got out by
stealth and afterwards had 10 fight their way
through many hundreds of them. The war cry
then resounded from hill TO hill many stores were
piaged and farm houses burnt down and num-
bers Of families who Saturday considered
themselves rich, on Monday had - escape with
nothing foot and carry the children. Hundreds
of people came hocking into Kokstad, and every
house was full of homeless families. al the
churches and public schools had to be used for
shelter. Then the enemy threatened the town and
we all set 10 work and built camp round about
my church, school and dwelling house, which arc
the strongest buildings in the town Everybody
had TO work. The duty of time keeper and pay
master assigned to me. We worked almost
night and day, and all through one Sunday. be-
cause the enemy threatened to attack the town
anu lnefe was pace OF bhety 1of the women
and children. We enclosed the church buildings
with high wall and ditch, with loop holes all
around, bastion at the corners and bags % sand
ON top built store and magazine for powder uti-
derground, fortified the church and turned it's
high tower into place for sharp shooters. Wien
that was done every man had 70 learn 70 drill;
black and white enrolled. The Griqua form u
regiment of GOO. the Europeans are about loo.
All through October and November we have been
having fighting round about us at any moment
we may have to go into camp we are are already
in it, but if the signal gun fire our house would be
filled with women and children. One friend of
ours killed last month he was fighting and in
charge of party of 10 natives when their horses
took fright and bolted and the enemy down
and surrounded them. One Of our magistrates and
| his two clerks mdrdered By the people who
! were supposed to be loyal. The town is still full
