The Sixth dJraguons will be sent to Natal

from England, in response to the call of

the commandant at Durban It seems 'that the Boers fired upon the detachment lon the Pretoria and Lydenburg road ‘under cover of a fiag of truce. At Pot- |chefatroon the greatest excitement pro- vails. Four persons have been murdered. They are a commandant of the Cape mounted police and threa civilians, They were brutally murdered in the midst of an

vf 3,000 Boers. The ‘‘Standard’s” correspondent at Durban, reports that the wagons whigéh the detachment of the Ninety fourth regiment was in charge of got into a swamp, and ali hands laid aside their arms to extricate them. The Boers suddenly appeared and demanded their aurrender. ‘Che soldiers rushed for their arms, but before they were able to defend themselves they were shot down. While a Boer was attempting to hoist a republican flag at Potchefstroom he was shot by a British officer, whom the Boers shot dead. The driver of a post cart was murdered and the mail bag carried off. Another re- pert says the Boers were shelled at Potchef- stroom and 100 killed and many wounded, Arrangements are being made at Woolwich for sen@ing supplies to the Cape. The ‘‘ Times’” Durban despatch reports the Boers have giver notice that they will seize a certain town on a specified day. The Boers were shelled cut of Potchefstroom. They lost one hundred lkalled and many wounded. The authorities at Cape Town have communicated further with the home authorities in regard to reinforcements, and it is probable that two regiments of cavalry, two of infantry, and two battaliens of artillery will be sent to the Tranavaal. taille ;

T'o the Hditer of the Examiner.

Drax Sin,—I notice an article in the Patriot of the 18th December, marked ‘- Com.” and headed Cape Traverse Branch, |which is intended to mislead the public. ‘*Oom.” is in faver of building the Cape Traverse Branch Railway. To this under- taking there can be no very serious objec- tions providing other equally important matters do not suffer in consequence. I ‘am aware that a good many philosophical, as well as practical, men believe that steam /communication with the mainland ean be ‘kept up at the Capes successfully all the ‘year round. Senstor Haythorne, for in- stauce, has been making strenuous efforts ‘for the last few years to have the ‘‘ North- » Light” taken from her present’ route between Geergetown and Pictou, and placed ‘at the Capes. Of the utter folly of ex- ‘pecting a steamer of the dimensions of the (** Northern Light” to*run satisfactorilly at ithe Capes nothing need be said. Still Mr. | Haythorne persists in ignoriag the interests tof King’s County altogether. Nothing short lof having the ‘* Northern Light” at the ‘Capes, will satisfy him. The Minister of iMarine and Fisheries is twitted by this | Senator with having changed his views as ‘to the Capes route, and the Government {blamed for not carrying out the course in- dicated in the article in the Patriot. Now ‘as well asin his pre-Ministerial days, the | Minister of Marine, ie an advocate and be- ‘lieverin the Cape Traverse Branch. This however, does not blind him to the fact that Georgetown and Souris are easily ac- cessible for months after the narrow straits ‘between the Capes are completely choked with ice. The ‘‘ Northern Light” during the present season alone has been of incal- ‘eulable benefit to business men. Her trips 'have been made with wonderful regularity, jand why anyone with the interest of the |public at heart, shonid advocate -her ‘removal from her present route to the Capes, is not easily accounted for, except om the seors of selfishness. Jt is to be ‘hoped that the ‘‘ Northern Light” will never be placed on the Capes route to gra- tify the vanity or vagaries of a Senator or anybedy else. While the presgnt Minister presidesin the Marine Department, no such act of folly as sending the ‘‘ Northern Light” to ply between the Capes may be

anticipated. I remain, Yours, &c., Farrruay. King’s County, 29th Dee. 1880.

Typographical errors are inevitable, and in many cases are very amusing to.all.ex- cept the parties immevliately concerned. A Richmond paper relates that at a conven- tion held in that city an attempt was made to expel a reporter. It was unsuccessful, and the reporter wrote to hfs paper, re- counting the ‘‘ dastardly attenipt,” -and closing with the remark that ‘‘ thus an effort to muzzle the press was thwarted.” The compositor had something to do with the letter, and when it appeared the next morning the line quoted read, “ and thus another attempt to muzzle the pup was thwarted.” The reporter is now dead and the compositor mortally injured,

A firm in Ualifax have received a letter from a Liverpool firm, asking if it 1s not pussible for them to bring sugar to Halifax from Souih America, and to carry grain thence to Liverpool, or London. They say their vessels are all the tame picking up freights of sugar in South American ports, and would rather come to Halifax and de- liver up their sugar, and take grain frons Halifax io Enrope, than go to either New | York er Boston.
