DISTRESS ON THE FRONTIER
Already many cases of severe suffering, from loss of property, require attention in Graham’s Town, and a Society has been formed there to raise and apply funds for the relief of destitution. Food and clothing are wanted by many who, a few weeks ago, were in comfortable, even affluent circumstances, having fled from their homes, now consumed by fire, with no more than the clothes on their persons.
It is therefore suggested to the merchants here, who have large dealings with the Frontier, to form a Society to correspond with that in Graham’s Town, and to raise such supplies of money, flannel, clothing and other necessaries, as can be put in readiness and conveyed, with the least delay, to the scene of suffering. Winter is at hand, many delicate women, sick persons and young children may be at the moment cold, or without a change of clothing. Clothes, ready-made, of all sorts, will be most acceptable, as all hands are full of work of a different sort, nor could time probably be spared to work up the raw materials.

DEATH OF MR. J. D. NORDEN.
From all the information since gathered from eye-witnesses, the following appears to be a connected account of the affair:
The mounted force proceeded along the line of road fro Woest’s Hill, called sometimes Martin West’s farm, to the adjoining farm of Brak River, the dwellings upon which had been fired by the Kaffirs, and were then smouldering, when they ascended the hill by the road leading towards the coast. Before doing so however a party of the force, consisting of the men belonging to the Sporting Club were detached to the left for the purposes of examining the bushy ravines, which unite at the point called Paarnen Kraal. Before reaching the top of the hill, Mr. FINNAUGHTY, who was acting, in conjunction with Mr. H. FULLER, as Guides to the Yeomanry, requested that Mr. NORDEN, the Commandant, would allow him four or five men for the purpose of looking into the ravines on the opposite side of the ridge, separating tue [sic] Kareiga Kloofs from those which extend up from the Kowie, in hopes of discovering three horses of his which he though might have strayed in that direction. This request was granted, with instructions that they should not On any account proceed beyond the sound of recall or be long absent. Mr. FINNAUGHTY consequently rode forward, and saw at the foot of the slope leading to the farm Beggelly a horse, but not one of his own. Suspicious from the position in which the animal stood, by the side of a tangled ticket, that it might have been placed there as a decoy, he declined to descend the hill, and on returning perceived as he came in sight of a large ravine, called the Buffaloo Kloof, several Kaffirs running along the bush in a crouching posture, and taking shelter among a cluster of round projecting rocks, interspersed with aloes, and which stretched along the side of the kloof near which the yeomanry in two parties then were. FINNAUGHTY instantly drew up his horse, and fired both barrels of his gun to attract the attention of the yeomanry, and then waved his hat to point out the position in which the enemy were. Mr. NORDEN immediately ordered his men to advance, and by an impulse of gallantry moved forward to where the Kaffirs lay in ambush, accompanied by six of his men. During these movements he had fired both barrels of his gun, had reloaded, and ordering his men to dismount, had approached to within a dozen paces of the rocks mentioned. When a ball from a Kaffir, crouched behind one of them, and upon which his gun rested, pierced his head, and he fell without uttering a sound. This Kaffir, it is said, paid dearly for his temerity, being instantly shot by Mr. TAYLOR, the surgeon of the corps, and who was in turn fired upon by twelve or fourteen of the enemy’s sharpshooters, fortunately without effect. A ball, however, struck his charger in the neck, a fine animal, and which became to restive that he was obliged to abandon him, fleeing on foot for the distance of 200 years, pursued by two or three of the savages, but who, seeing a few of the yeomanry advancing to cover his retreat, gave up the pursuit, and he escaped with the loss of his horse and its accoutrements, among them being a pair of valuable six-barrelled revolving pistols. One young man of the Corps lost his horse, saddle and bridle; another lost his gun and saddle; and a third, his horse, which was knocked up and was abandoned, the Kaffirs being seen to emerge from the bush, and coolly walk off with him. It is said that there were seen in these thickets not less than 400 Kaffirs, but still by cool determination there is the best reason to believe that the body of the Field Commandant might have been recovered. It is said that immediately he fell, the savages seized upon it and dragged it towards the bush, and from the appearance it presented as seen by Mr. H. FULLER from a distance, it must have been instantly stripped of the outside clothing. Mr. NORDEN carried with him a valuable double-barrelled gun and pistols, and he had in his pouch 60 rounds of ammunition, all which fell, almost without a struggle, into the hands of the enemy. Several Kaffirs were, it is said, shot, but little dependence, we think, can be placed in such assurances, as the fall of their leader seems to have struck nearly the whole party with panic. Some instances of individual bravery are recorded, but upon the whole the affair terminated so deplorably as to carry conviction to the mind of every one, that young men unaccustomed to danger, and who have not learned the difficult part of a soldier’s education – to obey orders – are, however ardent, but ill-qualified to sustain a position of danger, or to exercise that calm determination of purpose in the hour of peril, which are the best personal safeguards, as well as the most effectual conductors to ultimate victory.
It is due to the memory of the deceased to say that in him the public have at this moment sustained a great loss. As a citizen, Mr. NORDEN was among the most public spirited of men – ready to give his best support to every public Institution. With great activity and extraordinary powers of endurance, he was possessed of much intelligence, - of great quickness of apprehension, - of warm and generous feeling, and of undaunted courage. No man that we have seen laid himself out more fully to aid in the defence of the country, both in this and in the former Kaffir war; no one was more willing to engage in arduous and perilous enterprises. He has fallen in the defence of this country of his adoption, - he fell as a brave man and a patriot, and as such his name will be embalmed in the grateful memory of his compatriots, as well as stand recorded in the annals of this country.

A party of eight of the inhabitants of Bathurst came in to-day from that village, and reported that with great difficulty they had, by taking a circuitous route, succeeded in reaching town. A body of the enemy lined the drift at Blue Krans, the approach to which down the descent is very bushy. But keeping their horses in hand until they came to this point, they then dashed forward and got through without harm, the Kaffirs firing a volley after them, as they ascended the opposite hill, and which, drawing up their horses, they returned. They state that nearly the whole of Lower Albany has been laid waste, the houses and stacks fired, and the cattle swept into Kaffirland…. About 1000 head of cattle have been taken from the Fish River Flats. The Congo Kaffirs had joined the war party, and Pato was passing his men over the mouth of the Fish River by means of J. PHILIPS’ boat, and which it seems had been seized for the purpose of thus aiding in the invasion of the Colony…. The following letter from the Rev. J. AYLIFF, Wesleyan Minister at Bathurst, shows the deeply painful situation in which the inhabitants were at the time it was written:-
Bathurst, Tuesday Morning
We are all driven to the church, where to the present we are safe. I bear arms and take my share of night duty. Yesterday a party came in from CAWOOD’s, saying that all the Fish River cattle had gone; that the Kaffirs had secured the boat of J. PHILLIPS, with which they were crossing the river near the mouth. James, my youngest son, went yesterday morning, 8 a.m. (without my permission) to water the horses at the fountain by the Drostdy, when two Kaffirs sprang upon him, and seized his arm, saying, “Give your horses!” Yes I will, said James (in Kaffir) if you don’t kill me, and began crying. The Kaffir replied, hold your noise, I won’t kill you. At this moment the hoses broke away, and they left him and went after them. I have much to say, but time does not allow me to add any more than to say that the officer in command, Mr. TUNNARD, is exceedingly kind and attentive to our concerns, and so are the small party of the 27th, which he commands.

Graham’s Town is already crowded with suffering people, driven in from the country. A Board of Relief has been appointed by the Governor, as will be seen by a notice in another page. It is proposed to form a Committee here, to act and correspond with that Board. This was suggested in the Advertiser of last week, but it was thought best to await for intelligence from Graham’s Town before formally appealing to the Public. Some of the requisite intelligence has now been received, and a Depot has been opened at Miss CUMMING’s, St.George’s-Street, to which the kind-hearted and liberal may send clothes of all descriptions to be immediately forwarded to the scene of suffering. No words are required to press this call upon the Public of Cape Town and its neighbourhood.
Already 26 flannel petticoats, of different sizes, and 2 small flannel gowns, made up by the young ladies of Mr HARRIS’ Boarding School at Herschell, have been received. Other ladies, it is known, have been busy, and are only waiting to know where to send their donations.

DEATH OF THE REV S. PALMER
Information has been received by this opportunity of the sudden death of the Rev S. PALMER, Wesleyan Missionary at the station of Bunting, in the Amaponda country. The death of this excellent man at this particular juncture is a public misfortune: possessing as he did all those qualities – unshaken intrepidity, great address and thorough knowledge of the natives – to have been of great service to the colony at this crisis. He had made a journey to Clarkebury, with the view of affording assistance to the traders and missionaries who had fled to that station, and was on his way with them to his own station, when he was suddenly seized, within a short distance of reaching home, as supposed with Apoplexy, fell on the neck of his horse, and shortly expired, without uttering a word. As a useful missionary, Mr. PALMER has no superior; as a man and a Christian his name will ever be cherished among those worthies who have devoted their lives to benefit and bless their fellow men.
