tCld, but as that officer commands the
sixth division, the whole of which has
reached Cape Town, and as there is
no word of any part of it having gone
to- Natal, the probability is that the
column is identical with the division.
"At any rate, it is to be hoped that
this is the case, and that the last has
been heard of breaking up divisions
into fragments. The dispatch of this
column, il, as must be presumed, it is
strong enough for independent opera
tons, portends great deal. In the
first place, it means that the cam
paign in Natal is to be left to the
care of itelf. For, il the Sixth divi-
sion is at Thcbus, there is no other
force at Cape Town capable of turn

fight its way out, unless, indeed, Gen.
Butler, with such forces as he. has,
tries a third time TO drive back the

that the war will he prolonged, and
that the Beers are to be given time to
push their advantage in Natal. They
will try to overcome Sir George
Whites forces and to take the Of
feusive against Gen. Butler, whose
army they would in that case, per-
haps. be able to hold by putting sew
eral parts of their own more mobile
force in positions i'm the front, flanks
and rear Gen. Butler would keep
them occupied as long as his supplies
and ammunition lasted. During these
operations the British forces in Cape
Colony and the reinforcements on the
way would be collected into an army
to march through the Free state. If
that march could he rapid enough to

was published at the instance of the

who represented that some of his GUS

for these separators. Since the publ.

order that this separator may not be
confounded with the hydraulic separa-

gest that all farmers who contemplate
