OMATA.
[from our own correspondent.] From my last date but little remains to be said beyond the now often told tale of our utter ruin. On the morning of Monday, 3rd instant, natives in greater numbers than we have yet seen them were sunning themselves on Burton's Hill, within sight of the stockade. In the afternoon the usual monthly relief came from town, and provisions under escort were forwarded to the Waireka camp, since which, having made one in the No. 3 division of the Burton Hill expedition, it has not been in my power to collect much information. The only affair of consequence occurring has been the withdrawal of the troops from Waireka on Friday. By some unforeseen change Omata may once again become the scene of war—but until it does so, there will be little to write about concerning this district. W. I. G.
