The letter was written on December

Captain barley at Cape Town and be.
fore his departure for the seat Of war.
He said things were pretty lively
around the Cape, even, but he expected
to find them decidedly more so after
they got out a way. Speaking Of the
reports that citizens Of other nations
were assisting the Beers. Captain OAR
ley said that over 5000 Europeans,
commanded by German and Russian
officers, were only a portion Of those
doing so, and that there was a company
Of Irish.Americans (the rabble of the

II the latter is true, and there is no
reason to doubt Mr.. Darley's state
ment, the American will no doubt give
the English officers an example Of good
leadership, as it goes without disputing
that this has been the one essential fea-
ture lacking in the English officers.
No doubt, by this time. Captain Oar.
ley is right at the front aud a letter is
anxiuusly awaited by Mr.. Leavens tell.
ing just how affairs do stand.
