Wynberg, 2nd February 1846
Sir, As you have noticed the intended opening of the
new School Room of the Dutch Reformed Church at Wynberg, on the 1st
instant, I trust that a description of the proceedings on that day, solemn and
satisfactory as they were, may not be refused a place in your valuable and
truly philanthropic paper.
At an early
hour on Sunday morning the Dutch Reformed Church Building at Wynberg was
crowded; at 10 o’ clock the worthy minister, P.E.FAURE, ascended to the
puplpit, and delivered a most excellent and impressive sermon from Matthew
xxviii v 29 “Teach all nations”, which words are inscribed in front of the
School Room. At the end of this sermon the 151st Hymn, 5th
and 6th verses, were sung, upon which the minister descended from
the pulpit, invited the congregation to the New School Room, addressed the
elders, and placed into the hands of the elder, D.G. EKSTEEN, the Holy
Scriptures, as the Book of God, which will be the foundation of the Instruction
that will be there given, and into the hand of the elder, J.A. LOUW, the
Catechism of the Reformed Church and the Psalms and Hymn Book, in order, with
them, to precede the congregation in procession to the place which was about to
be consecrated to Almighty God, for the most holy of purposes. The Minister and
the Revd Mr. ELLIOTT followed the elders with the remaining Churchwardens, the
public officers, and the congregation, in the most solemn procession
imaginable, and anything more impressive I do not recollect ever to have witnessed
than to behold a multitude of about 600 standing crowded together and joining
in an impressive and solemn prayer, in which the minister beseeched the
blessing on that building and the work to which it was intended to be devoted,
thanking God heartily for the difference in the state of things on that day,
compared to what it was a few years ago, when no house of prayer existed at
this place, and when the Sabbaths were spent in a quite different manner, and
for quite different purposes. This prayer was followed up by the united voice
of all present, praising God with the words of the 100 Ps, 1, 3 and 4 verses,
which were sung most impressively, whereupon the minister with stretched arms
implored God’s blessing. Thus ended the proceedings of this solemn morning, and
it was indeed most pleasing to observe how heartily the many present approached
the minister with congratulations on the finished work, and on his birthday,
which the 1st February happened to be.
Scarcely
had the congregation left the consecrated School Room, or the Members of the
Consistory aided by the other brethren were observed busily employing
themselves in preparing seats to the number of 220 for the afternoon service,
which was to be held according to the announcement in the School Room at half
past four – the building was again crowded, for not only were all the seats,
but every inch of the School Room, even the steps in front occupied. The Revd
Mr ELLIOTT delivered a most appropriate and impressive address in the English
language from Ps 119 v 130 – an address which I trust will have the effect of
securing to us the support of our English brethren.
At 7
o’clock in the evening the Rev Mr. MORGAN preached to a crowded congregation in
the Dutch language in the School Room, which was well lighted – from John 10 v
16 – encouraging everyone to cooperate with our Saviour in bringing many to
that one flock, under one shepherd. Surely this day will long be remembered –
may the Lord grant a rich harvest on this beginning. The collections on the above
occasions amounted to £23.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant

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.

is believed to be unprecedented on solemn occsions in a Christian Country, and
hostile to the Peace and Love that ought to abound in a Protestant Community.

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.

WATERING THE STREETS
For about six months in the year the dust in the
Heeregracht, Keizersgracht, and some neighbouring streets, is not only an
annoyance, but really injurious to goods in open shops and stores. For some
fifty or sixty pounds this annoyance could be kept under, or wholly removed, by
sprinkling these streets with water from the common watering carts. To the
Householders of Keizersgracht, Heerengracht, Shortmarket-street and
St.George’s-street, this would be a mere trifle, probably not more than a
half-penny a day, for six months. They might be invited to meet and consider
this by their Wardmasters.

Captain J.P. ELLIS, brig ‘Nautilus’
Dear Sir, We regret to observe in the Zuid Afrikaan of
this date a repetition of the complaints relative to the treatment of the
Burghers on board our vessel during the late voyage from Algoa Bay, and we feel
ourselves called upon in justice to you to state, that having had many
opportunities of observing the provisions served out and the accommodations set
apart to the Burghers, in our opinion, having had some experience in these
affairs, no just ground of complaint exists.
That
these persons, many of them members of respectable and even wealthy families,
should have found themselves exceedingly uncomfortable, when on board a vessel
for the first time in their lives, and suffering much in bad weather, from sea-sickness,
is not to be wondered at, but we again assert that in our opinion there is no
ground for just complaint. On the contrary, we have pleasure in bearing our
testimony to your unremitted attention, not only to the duties of the vessel,
but to the comfort of all on board, as afar as you had in your power.
We remain, dear Sir, your obedient servants

(Graham’s

Received
information from the N.E. Boundary, dated 21st instant, from which
it appears that a dispatch had just reached the Colony for the Governor from
the Diplomatic Agent, W. FYNN, now in the Amaponda country, and it appears that
two out of three messengers entrusted there with were destroyed on the
way. The letter before us states –
The
express for His Excellency from Mr. FYNN, was brought to the Kei, below Stoffel
VENTER’s, by two men that have in my opinion been murdered. Three men were coming with the letters, one
of whom providentially escaped, although fired at several times. He had to conceal himself in the water from
This
day the Rifle Brigade, consisting of 281 rank and file, and the following
officers, reached Graham’s Town:- Capts. A.H. HORSFORD, A.S. MURRAY, and GIDSON; Lieuts. J. AECKWITH,
CARTWRIGHT, V.O. OXENDEN, and F.D. HOWELL.
This Corps is to march to-morrow for Colonel SOMERSET’s division, and to
which it is to be attached. It appears
to be peculiarly well adapted for the service of this frontier. The dress is very similar to that of the C.M.
Rifles, and their other appointments just suited to this country, and to the
duty they will be required to do on this border.
Tuesday
– Received information of a hair-breadth escape from death by Mr. PENNY, jun.,
of
Being
on a restive horse, Mr. PENNY, though lame, dismounted for the purpose of
having greater command of his gun, but before reaching the ground received the
fire of the savage, and whose aim was so well meant, that the ball passed
through the brim of his hat. Mr. P.
fired in return, but at that moment he saw two other Kaffirs running to cut off
his retreat from the pass into which he had entered. Not a moment was to be lost; springing
therefore into his saddle, he dashed forward, and succeeded in making good his
retreat from the lurking enemy.
Wednesday
– Information came in to day that during the previous night a large number of
cattle had been swept off from the Institution of Farmersfield. The adroit plunderers had succeeded in
emptying three kraals and in making off with the whole of the cattle which they
had contained. Unfortunately, the
village was but weak, arising from a number of its most useful hands having
been called to do active service in the field, and others of them being absent
at the Kowie with wagons for supplies. Pursuit was, however, immediately made
by a small party on the track of the marauders…. Reported that the spoors of
several Kaffirs had been seen near Vaal Krans, 18 N.W. of Graham’s Town, and
apprehensions are entertained of robberies in that quarter.
Thursday
– Received information of the loss of the little coaster “Albatross”, the
property of Messrs. CAWOOD, in attempting, for the first time, to enter the
mount of the river. It seems that she
reached that point on Tuesday, and succeeded in crossing the bar in
safety. In nearing the bluff, however,
at the entrance of the narrows, from some error of steerage she got on the sand
on the western shore. Assistance being
promptly given, a rope was made fast to her from the opposite bank, and it was
expected that the next day she would have been secured from danger. Unfortunately, it came on to blow a
hurricane, and in spite of every effort she was driven on the rocks on the
Eastern side of the river, where we understand she is a complete wreck. We believe a great part of the cargo has been
or will be saved. No lives have been
lost.
The
regret felt at this misfortune is heightened from the fact that it was an
experimental trip, and that it must damp the ardor of those who are anxious to
make the

– Received a copy of the following official report:-
Farmersfield,
November, 1846.
With
great pleasure I write to inform you that we have overtaken the Kaffirs who
took our cattle from Farmersfield, and recovered all the cattle except one
which the thieves had slaughtered, and was preparing to cook it. The thieves were under Blue Krantz, on the
We
there fell in with three Kaffirs. One
was coming out of the bush just as we entered, we fired and shot him through
the forehead, leaving him dead. Some of
our party whom we had posted below in the kloof shot the other two, one through
the lungs, leaving him dead also. The
third was shot through the back, who fell, leaving all his things which he was
carrying and cried out for mercy; he however did not wait, but immediately
threw himself down some rocks into the river, it was late in the day. No persons were left to protect the place, so
we did not search for him. We are
certain he will never see his country again.
After
driving away our cattle the thieves selected 39 of the best, - 38 of which we
have recovered.
We
have taken the following articles from these thieves:- 2 guns, with powder
horns and 2 pouches, with many balls, 6 assagais, 3 riems, 2 pecks or hoes, 3
knap-sacks, 3 tinder boxes, pipers, knives, &c., 3 karosses, 1 whip.
Information
has been received from Kaffirland, to the effect that Col. SOMERSET, within the
last few days, has made a most successful movement upon Pato’s position, near
the source of the
Saturday
– Received further particulars from the N.E. Boundary, and from which it
appears that the poor men who were killed while bringing dispatches for His
Excellency were shot by a party of Boers at the Kei Drift. They were sitting on the ground at the time
when attacked, and were mistaken, it must be supposed, for Kaffirs; but still
the attack appears to have been so thoughtlessly made, that the government is
called upon by every principle of justice and humanity to cause a rigid inquiry
into the whole of the circumstances attending the case. One man escaped by concealing himself in the
water among reeds, with only his mouth and nostrils exposed for air. He remained in this perilous and painful
situation from

FRONTIER
(Frontier Times)
Monday – A shocking murder was wantonly and publicly
committed in High-street, Graham’s Town, yesterday evening, The murderer is a
young Hottentot in the employ of Mr. OGILVIE. The man, it seems, was standing
in the street with his gun loaded, and was speaking to two Hottentot girls, who
were in charge of two little children belonging to Mr. E. PHILIPPS, to one of
whom he made a proposal, which on her declining to accept, he levelled his gun
and threatened to shoot her. The children on seeing him raise his gun,
immediately ran off, the elder one, a boy of about four years of age, leading
the younger. The man fired, and the ball passing through the shoulder of one of
the girls, who was killed on the spot, struck the other, who, after lingering a
short time, also expired. The man is in custody.
