HOTTENTOT REBELLIONS. 133 
telling the tale of many a hard fought struggle 
between Macomo, the rebel Hottentots, and our 
gallant troops. Here fell the gallant Colonel 
Fordyce, and many other braye officers and men 
of his spirited 7 4th regiment of Highlanders. 
To prevent the recurrence of such painful 
scenes as those amid which these sad casualties 
occurred, an opportunity is now offered. The 
disaffected haying been expelled, this land now 
lies waste and unoccupied ; an opening is thus 
afforded for a large population of immigrants to 
be located there. This will effectually protect 
these fastnesses; for it will deter the sayages 
from again trying to occupy them, to the con- 
stant ruin of the industrious colonial farmers. 
And by this alone can the eyil be prevented. 
THE WEARY AT REST.
