LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE FRONTIER
It is with sincere regret that we just learned that the wound which Captain MELVILLE received in last engagement with the enemy has proved so serious as to render amputation of the arm necessary.
The determination of Major-General SOMERSET to fall back on Fort Beaufort and Mr. PAINTER’s farm is regarded by the enemy as a retrograde movement. Chief Macomo with his followers presses hard upon his antagonist.
Colonel McKINNON had likewise entered the Fish-river bush, so that the scene of future warfare is laid within the colony. Observers on the Frontier line write in very desponding strain. They state that unless the Commander-in-Chief take some proper and comprehensive measures to bring forth a burgher force, the present war will never be concluded. All is uncertainty and indecision on the frontier.
