In readIng the following maga- live it should ale° bo reeollectea that the field -cornet, who presided, is cred- ibly reported. as ineving "challenged the natives to COMO and take their cattle if they could." It is a sound cardinal principle of judicial inveotigation that a final opinion upon apy given state of al' !etre be not arrived at until all HD pects of the case have been cons`rd- (trod. It le, therefore, well that, hay - jag+ regard to paragraph 3 of the re - colitis, published resolutions of- the Boer leaders at Vereeniging, made on efteee Met, and published la the et:utmost', of 29th ult., as well ete to (tartan Ertatements in the Scotsman of lst Angled:, untier the headieg of "The Boers in Europe and the Peace," tlus other side should receive a hear- ing.

At flied many Zulus were "hung up" in the wire, ane many were sleot down. They fell back somewhat, and then hit on 'the expedient of throwing their ox-ilkle shields on tee wire, and so crossing it seathless.

After the fight, whoa clewn broke, an induna (ohiel) went to e peigebor- tog &wait for water for his wound- ed men. ele saw a man's head in the water, Amongst the reeds, and was about to throw the assegai, when the Boer, a boy of about fifteen years, asked for mercy in the 'Lieu ten•guage, and, holding up his band, hailed the Induna as "Nicosl" (Lord). Mercy was shown Wm, and to two others who were similarly hiding. They were taken prisoners.
