A painful impression was caused by the announcement of the change of commander-in-chief, and the soldiers here are resolved to vindicate tueir trusted leader. ‘The situation, nevertheles-, is difficult, the Boer position being one of extraordin- ary strength, with high hills lined tier on an almost unfordable river, and with a tier with trenches avd galleries, rising from emooth plain in front. “The enemy haveal! the ranges marked, ard many powerful guns dominate the various points of the river, while the drifts are commanded by converging musketry fire from the probably 12,000 Boers. There are sixteen miles of wild, broken conntry before reaching Ladysmitb, which demands early relief. RESOLUTION OF CONDOLENCE On the Death of Mr. Charles Taper.
