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.

Saturday 8 November 1851

DIED at Port Elizabeth on the 3rd instant, Catherine Frances, beloved daughter of Caesar ANDREWS Esq, aged 14 years.

On the morning of Monday last the town of Port Elizabeth was suddenly thrown into deep gloom by the unexpected announcement of the decease of the eldest daughter of C. ANDREWS Esq., a fine young girl of 14 years of age, who, after an illness of only some eight or ten days, was then suddenly removed form our midst by the rude hand of death. Such an event was felt like a shock of warning to the whole community to be also “ready”; and although it was impossible for friends to enter into the poignancy and intensity of the grief of the bereaved parents, who had lost the cherished object of a father’s many hopes, and the beaming centre of a mother’s daily joy, yet there was a depth of sympathy excited, which, next to the true balm of heavenly consolation, must tend to soothe the wounded feelings of parents. Their loss is great, is [indescribable], but they “will not sorrow as those who have no hope”.

Saturday 15 November 1851

DIED at Burghersdorp, of Croup on the 21st October, Henry Ivens, aged 5 years and 2 months, son of Thomas Ivens PORTER, late of the Grenadiers of Charles Cook Yarborough’s Company of the 1st Battalion 91st Regt., and eldest son of Philip PORTER Esquire of bally Crystal Cottage, King’s County, Ireland, late Lieutenant of Her Majesty’s 72nd Highlanders.

THE LATE LIEUT-COL. FORDYCE OF THE 74TH HIGHLANDERS
If not the bravest officer who ever entered service in this Colony, one not second to the bravest has fallen. The Frontier papers received on Thursday morning brought us the mournful intelligence of the death of the gallant and ever ready Colonel FORDYCE, of the 74th Highlanders. He fell while leading on in person his irresistible followers against a strongly entrenched body of the enemy in a rocky thicket, where a rebel Hottentot, perched and concealed in a tree, shot him as a marked man through the side. From this wound he expired within a quarter of an hour.
The 74th Highlanders have not been long in the country, but by the great and incessant services rendered by the regiment since its arrival here, it has so endeared itself in the esteem and affection of the people, that its brave Colonel could not thus be shot down without at once calling forth, over the length and breadth of the land, one deep and mournful expression of regret and sorrow. The merits of Lieutenant-Colonel FORDYCE as a commanding officer can scarcely be exaggerated. Indeed it is only b the aid of a comparison that one can at all bring forth into proper relief the proved qualities of this officer, and in searching in past history for a parallel to him we find it only in the immortal PICTON at the head of his 42nd Highlanders. Both officers had a dash of impetuosity in their composition, but the fiery determination of each of the two brave men now compared together was in such excellent rein that no charge of mismanagement could ever be brought against either. They were both men of eagle eye, of the most resolute courage, and who ever pushed forward into the thickest danger only to gain more and more their own self-possession there; they were never led captive by any military indiscretion, or snared in the toils of bewildered excitement.

Saturday 20 December 1851

DIED on the 12th instant at the residence of his Father, Mathys G. HUMAN Esq, of Ziekoe River, in the Parish of Alexandria, his eldest son, Mathys William Menzies HUMAN, aged 20 years one months and 12 days, after a short illness contracted from bathing in the Gamtoos River while in a state of violent [rest of sentence totally obscured]

In our obituary of today our readers will perceive that we have to chronicle the death of Mr. Mathys William Menzies HUMAN, a young man of great promise cut off in the morning of life. It seems that while reaping the fields he was very hot from exertion, and in this state heedlessly bathed in the river, by which active perspiration was suddenly checked, and the cause of his decease instantaneously contracted, His fate should be a warning to all to take care how when freely perspiring they plunge into a cold stream and thereby induce an illness which may end in death.
Mr. Mathys HUMAN was his father’s right hand, and Ziekoe Farm had, under his industrious management and direction, become a model farm to the surrounding country. Improvements were continually being planned and carried out there; and the loss of the directing mind, by which a conspicuous example of enterprise and improvement was set to other young Dutch farmers, is felt as a public loss in this country. With his parents and family all who knew deceased deeply sympathize.
In today’s obituary we have also with pain to notice the sudden death of Mr. Frederick CALDECOTT of this place. He was crossing the Sunday’s River, which was swollen at the time, a in the act of doing so h [was drowned]. The particulars we have not heard. Deceased leaves a wife and 5 children behind him to mourn their irreparable loss. For these the sincere sympathy of all is engaged.

We regret this week to have to stop the Press for the painful purpose of adding one more name to the week’s obituary list. Mr. Thomas BERESFORD, in the employment of the house of OPENSHAW, UNNA & Co as Traveller, has been drowned in passing from Burghersdorp to Colesberg. It seems that the rains in the upper district have been unusually heavy and the dry rivers of Albert and Colesberg have been turned into swollen torrents. It was in crossing one of these that our respected townsman was drowned, with the loss too of the four horses with which in a cart he was travelling. The driver escaped with difficulty to tell the mournful tale. With the bereaved relatives of Mr. BERESFORD the public here most deeply sympathize.

January 4: The mournful intelligence has reached town this morning of the death by the hands of the Enemy of Major WILMOT, Royal Artillery, Commanding at Fort Peddie. This able and gallant Officer was shot on New Year’s Day while leading his men in an attack upon the Enemy in the jungle of the Fish River, where it is said Sandhili has now taken shelter. The lamented deceased was amongst the bravest and most active Officers in the field. On every occasion, where hard and gallant action was demanded, he distinguished himself. He fell as a soldier, and his name will stand conspicuous among the defenders of this country, and be embalmed in the memory of its inhabitants.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM AYTON
We have again the melancholy task of reporting the death of one of our most respectable and intelligent frontier inhabitants. Deceased was among the most enterprising and, before the war, opulent men on this frontier. But long and incessant anxiety, consequent on his severe losses, and the desolation caused around him by the enemy, preyed upon his mind and broke down his constitution. He died at Fort Beaufort on Saturday last, at an age when many men are considered in the full vigour of life. He leaves a widow and family to deplore his loss.
[Transcriber’s note: His Death Notice shows that he was 46 and his widow was Mary GILBERT]

SIDBURY
Jan 18 – A part of the cattle, about 30 head, were taken from the kraal of Lieut. DANIELL, at Sidbury Park, on the evening of the [10th] inst, by a party of five Kafirs and one Hottentot. The loss was not discovered till the following morning, when intelligence was forthwith conveyed to Commandants BUCHNER and MOXON. The former, taking up the pursuit with a party of 13 or 14 men, succeeded in recapturing the cattle (after an arduous chase) at [Zwar….ster] Poort. An express was at once forwarded from Sidbury to Commandant HARTMAN, requesting him to forelay the passes in the direction of New Year’s River. The party under Commandant BUCHNER fell in with a patrol from the Zuurberg camp under Captain BUTLER, which had likewise succeeded in recapturing cattle stolen from that station, together with [obscured] horses, one of them valued at £40. The [obscured], who were few in number, made little [resistance].

THE DEATH OF MR. JAMES HOWSE
It is with most sincere regret that we have this week to notice the death, by the hands of the ruthless rebel, of Mr. James HOWSE of Graham’s Town – an old and universally esteemed colonist. No particulars of his death are known, but from the manner in which his body had been mutilated it was evident that all the fiendishness of the brutal enemy, into whose hands he had fallen, had been exercised against him.
The colony itself has sustained a great loss in the sudden removal of Mr. HOWSE. He was one of the most spirited and enterprising of our frontier farmers; and in his unceasing industry, his ever active application, and the resulting success which crowned his great labors, offered an example worthy of imitation to all surrounding farmers. Yet such [a] man, universally known to the Kafirs and Hottentots along our entire frontier as their friend, and as one who had never harmed them, is heartlessly waylaid as he is riding along, trusting in his inoffensiveness as a protection, being without escort and without weapons of any kind, and butchered in a manner which throws a light upon the Hottentot and Kafir character, which reveals in them such inherent wickedness and vileness as no couleur de rose, however thickly applied by Missionary artists, can ever disguise. And what a picture of lawlessness and insecurity does the flash of such an event through the gloom now settled down upon this unhappy land disclose! It is fearful to contemplate the state of our Frontier by the light of the flash of the murderer’s discharged musket.
With the bereaved family, whose loss in the death of such a husband and parent is irreparable, all will most deeply sympathize. At the close of the present struggle, if as a British colony we are to witness its termination, what missing of friends! How many are the valuable lives lost for ever to the country by it.
