EMIGRATION
We regret to learn that owing to the protraction of the war and the at present seeming uncertainty as to the ultimate settlement of border affairs, several young men of the Cradock district intend emigrating to Australia. We would urge upon the parties not to be too precipitate; for as few countries surpass this in the extent of its resources, and as the expedition across the Kei evinces the determination of the government to fight on until a solid peace be obtained, we would counsel the intending emigrants to wait a little longer until the aspect of affairs be yet more clearly seen, whether for good or evil. Where there is great expectancy at present it would be unwise to take any rush step that cannot be recalled. It should be remembered that the upset price of land in Australia is 20s the acre.

The undersigned takes this means of publicly expressing his thanks for the prompt and successful assistance afforded to him in the recovery of his cattle when taken by marauders last week. He would particularly mention Lt. GOODISON CMR, in command at Driver's Hill, the party of Lancers and CMR and Mr. KOESTER, the guide stationed at that camp, to whose exertions he is indebted for the recovery of his property. He begs also to thank Capts. CAREY and SALIS, CMR, for their promptitude in sending information to that station, and also to Mr. SURMON of the Rural Police for his offer to leave him men for his protection on the night after the attack, although they had been the two previous nights on patrol in the Kowie Bush. To this prompt and combined assistance he is indebted for the restoration of his property and he deems it his duty, therefore, thus to express his sense of the valuable and effective service rendered to him in a time of need.
