Camp, Zoula, Jan. 23.—On the 3d of January, just 20 days ago, the Commander- in Chief of the Abyssinian Expedition arrived at Annesley Buy. His attention was im- |mediately directed to the necessity of pro- j viding a large stock of provisions at Senafe This place is the issue of the Koomayloo Pase and the key for an entrance into the high- lands of Abyssinia. It lies at a distance of about 65 miles of Zoula, and is elevated above this camp to a height of about 7 500 teet. The road from Zoula to Senate for the firet 14 miles Jies across the sandy and arid plain which, formed by the delta of the Koomayloo and Haddas torrents, stretched from the sea-coast to the foot of the moun- Lhe station of Koomayloo 1s then

where the first water is found in

tare reached,

He begs to annonnece that on and after this date he wells, for the camp here is supplied entirely

by water condensed by the shipping, and two ;eondensers near the landing place. At Koomayloo some troops are stationed to | watch the entrance of the pass, and to help | with working parties the completion of the railroad to this point. At Koomayloo the {road enters the mountains, buat for about three miles further runs nearly level. The defile 1s about a quarter of a mile broad ' The sides of the watercourse, which itself is wide, but filled with large water-rolled stones and loose shingly gravel, are covered with bauboo! trees that run up the mountain side Three miles from the Koomayloo the ascent begins. The roud takes to the dry bed of the torrent, and twists painfully through defis washed down from the hills and Jjarve boulder rocks ‘The mountains draw more towards each other, rising more eee and to a greater height, till at ower Soorvo, ten miles beyond Kvomaylov, they press so close upon the river bed, as to leave only a fissure of a few yards through which the water may force its way. ihe confined torrent, ia its desperate struggles to escape, has washed down rocks, torn out deep holes, and piled mighty stones in wild contusion in the narrow pass, Yet, throughs this chaotic mass the road must be driven, as the cliffs rise up sheer on either side, bang- ing inwards, as if yearning to clasp each vtuer to their craggy bosums, and to clove altogether the narrow fissure which some con- vulsion of rature has cleft through them. So steep and high are the sides that even at widday there isa gloom, and the bigh tropical muon never strikes down to the bottom ty light up the contorted scenery. This narrow defile lasts for over two miles, and till the roud nearly reaches the station of Upper Svvroo, where a few troops are stationed who

| are working cn the road, and where water is

found in sufficient quantity to suffice for large detachments 0° men and animals. It is in this Soorvo defile that the great danger of the roadlies In the rains it must be impassable, and while it isso ‘he army on the highlands can obtain no supplies from the ships. It must depend upon what the country will produce and what it has stored at Senafe.

I'he former is said to be almost nothing = It | 18 with a sense of relief that one leaves the | iron fastnesses of Soorov to emerge again into }a broader though hardly less barren portion

| of the pass.

For 13 miles the road, ascending steeply, twines along the stony watercourse Here a well has been sank, from which 10) gallons of water cao be obtained every hour but this is not sufficient to water the large convoys of pack animals which daily pass towards Senate. Above Nudul Wells there is a small plain in the pass, called Guinea Fowl Plain Here the previous desert character of the pass is and a beautiful vegetation Commences. Animals are abundant. The ancelope vc- castonally bounds across the road; tie boar and elept ant have their baunts in the hilis beside. Baboons and monkeys bark and vibber from the cliffs, and crowds of bright humming birds flash their gorgeous plumage in the dazzling suniight. Guinea Fowl Piain passed, the road quick y ascends, and, after

leiyhteen miles of steady elimbing, reaches

Rara Guddy. This station les more than 6 000 feet above Zoula, and about 4.000 above Soorvo Erght tmties of quick ascent ieads on to the tableland of Senate As soon as the sun goes down the heat ceases Warm clothing and heavy blankets are immediately required, and at night the same coverings are required as in an English winter. The nights in the high land are very eold, and the days are nearly as hot as on the sea coast This geeat variation of temperature of neces- sity causes an increase of that which ia the least desirable to merease— baggage Yet the men must be elothed for two opposite climates, and, as their health must be pre- served, their warm clothing and heavy blankets must be carried. Senafe was vc- eupied by General Merewether with an ad- vanced detatchment on Dee 6. Sinee that date every exertion bas been made to open

400 miles long must be held open between |

Magdala and Zula. and a chain of fortitie: | posts established to cover the stores and depots along it It must also be borne in mind that. though the natives are friendly lus long as we are saccess(ul and have power, the slightest reverse would raise theo all against us; that among the Daubali tribes of the Koomayloo Pass the taking of human | life ta the sole proot of manhood and the sole | passport to marriage, that the uncertain Kaseai, Prinee of Tigre, hangs upon our flank with 10.000 men at Adowa.

On the 18th a detach. ‘ment was poshed forward from Senate, and ‘occupied Goomgooma, twelve miles beyond In the intermediate plain there is a large supply of grass, which is of great advantage to the cavalry and artillery horses. A general advance is expected in a few days. | Jan. 25.—The British forces in Abyssinia stretch to-day along a line about 77 miles in length from the sea coast through the Koo- | mayloo Pass to Goomgooma.

The Commander. in-Chief has left for the front. All eyes are now eagerly tarned to the high land. and all “are anxious to push through the pass and press forward into Abyssinia proper.

The very base of operations must be supplied with water from condensers and the shipping. Ao accident to a delicate piece of machinery, or the breaking of the valve of a pump, causes the stock of the precious fluid to run short, and inflicts great inconvenience on the whole camp. For water bere must be doled out im daily portions of limited quantity, and a re- duction of the ration telis heavily on man and beast. There is no timber in the country, every beam of wood for the construction of piers oz store-houses has been imported ; every inch of rope bas been brought from the ships; every yard of road bas had to be made to allow the convoys to pass; every boat has had to’be brought to the coast for the dis- embarkation of troops and stores, for none were found here, though a liberal supply was expected. Those that have arrived cannot approach within a hundred yards of the shore, for the water shoals slowly, as the beach is very flat. The unfortunate tax payers in England have to bear the barden of all this. The railway bas not made such rapid progress as was expected A locomotive bas, however, been landed, and is dving good service in the removal of Commissariat s8up- plies from the pier to the store-houses.
