The war of- fice has received the following dispatch from Gen. Methuen, dated Tuesday, Dec. 12: "Our artillery shelled a strong position held by the enemy in a long; high kopje from 4 uutil dusk, Sunday, It rained hard last night, Tho Highland Brigade attacked at daybreak ou Monday the south end of the kopje. The attack was properly timed, but failed, Tho. Guards were ordered to protect the Highlanders' right and rear. The cavalry and mount- ed infantry, with a howitzer artillery battery, attacked the enemy ou the left and the Guards on the right, supported by field artillery. They shelled the position from daybreak, and at 1:05 I sent the Gordons to support the High- land Brigade. The troops held their own iu fiont of the enemy's entrench- ments until dusk, the position extending, including the koje, for a distance of six miles towards the Modder River. "To -day, am holding' my position and entrenching myself, I had to face at least 12,000 men. Our loss was great." • THE CANADIANS. Orange River, Saturday, Dec. 9.— Half the leen of the Canadian coati gent have gone forward.

They are in excellent ebndition and very zealous. • Ottawa, Dec, 11. --There is now good reason to believe that the Canadian special service 1: attalion is intact ono more. A telegram from Col. Otter, which reached the Militia Department to -day, states that the' regiment has reached. Belmont, "All well." It ap- pears that the A. B. C. and D. com- panies were sent on first, but the- phrase- ology of Col. Otter's message implies that the other companies have now gone forward. Peat In Kent. J. L. Scott,. of Chatham., and Wilson Irwin, general manager 'of the Peat Fuel Company, Toronto, went to the Eau Thursday, and examined the peat bog in that vicinity, says the Chatham Planet. They estimated that there is from one- half million to a million toes of peat there. They brought back a supply with them, which will be sent to Toronto for analysis. Mr. Irwin pronounces the sample excellent. He said: "1 cannot tell the volatiles and carbons in the peat exactly without analysis, but, from an' experience of two years in the different peat beds of the province, 1 can say that the sample is an excellent one. The Eau peat very much resembles that found near Stratford The qualities of Eau peat aro being iuvestigated with a view to forming a company to work the beds.
