THE PAMUNKEYs.

A delegation from the Pamunkey Tribe
of Indians came up from the reserva-
ton yesterday morning to Richmond,
with their annual tribute to Governor
Tyler. The occasion is always one OF
unusual interest in capitol and official
circles. The delegates from the tribe
we're headed by Chief Dennis and Sec
ond Chief Bradley, who headed party
of seven. They visited the Governor,
and were shown through the mansion,
looking about them with evidences of
the livliest interest, and propounding
questions about every object that ap.
peared to tickle their fancy. The ma.
terisl tribute to the Governor consisted
OF slaiu deer and a large wild turkey.
Attorney General Montague and DR..
Southall. superintendent of public in
struction, were jointly presented with
deer. which had been divided, each of
the officials receiving one-hslf of the
animal.
The Pamunkeys attach great import
ance to their annual tribute, and OBJ.
serve the occasion with religious solem-
nifty. They complained to the Gov.
ernor that the hunting clubs had taken
up 80 much of the lands surrounding
the reservation on which they were not
allowed to hunt, that their hunting
privileges were much restricted, and
they asked the Governor to make some
arrangement to extend their hunting
grounds.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The latest news from the seat OF war
in South Africa indicates that hard
fighting is near. The expected battle
may occur in Natal or on the western
frontier. The Beers in Natal have &C.
cupied an excellent strategic position,
dividing the British at Ladysmitb,
Estcourt and Mooi river into compare
lively small forces, which seem unable
to accomplish anything. The plan OF
the British General, Ciery, at DurbaD,
to advance with relief force is made
difficult OF execution because be must
act alone, without the help from Est
court which he had expected.
In Cape Colony and on the western
frontier the British are active. General
Lord Methuen, with $4,000 men, is ad-
vancing from the Orange river to the
relief OF Kimberley and is reported to
be at Willeputs station, just north OF
the river. The Beers are supposed TO
be awaiting him az Belmont, only few
miles farther on.
The Beers began Smelling Moot vii
ldRo, sOuIu Vi 1SlCOuTt, yosLerudy. 1uoii
firing was accurate, but no decisive re-
suit is reported.
Pietermaritzburg is threatened by
the Beers, and it's garrison is to- be 10
creased. A Boer column 1000 strong
is reported to be only Is miles from
that place.
General Joubert reported that he had cut
off the British retreat from Estcourt to Piet
ermaritzburg.
United States Consul Macrum, at Pretoria,
asked for leave of absence, which was refused.
The Boer forces sre receiving constant &C.
cessions from the disappointed Cape burgh'
ers
Two more British transports arrived at
Capetown with reinforcements
The Bosrs bombsrded the British forts Mt

A Pretoria dispatch states that the official
returns of the Transvasl losses since the war
BEGAN show that 80 men have been billed
and 100 wounded, of whom number have
recovered and returned TO the front. This
according to the wording of the dispatch,
does not include the losses of the Free Skaters
The Boer commander at Ladysmth WAS
surveying the various points from which the
fall of Lsdysmith might be assured.
The British made sortie from Ladysmith
to send q relieving force to Estcourt, but were
driven back.

ANOTHER STRONG effort will be made
during the coming session of Congress
to force through bill making a large
appropriation for the construc'
ton of an inter-oceanic canal
through Nicaragua. And, Judging
from the character of modern
congresses. it would not be surprising
if such a bill should pass. The facts
that there is no harbor at either end Of
the proposed canal and that its route is
through swamps and morasses, and Is
long and circuitous, while canal with
excellent terminal facilities, direct anc
short, and nearly half completed, runs
across the isthmus of Panama, few
miles further south, have, that is &C
cording to the promoters and beneficial
ries of the scheme, nothing to do witt
the case.
