PUNGAEEHU. This day. Everything seems to hare paled here ; drafting is still going on, but the life of the camp is lost. The Nelson "Volunteers armed and j embarked at 4 a.m., leaving at 6. The Palmeraton and Fielding Toluutsers go by the HaurakL The conduct of all has | been excellent. Unfortunately one v»ian of the Canterbury contingent is suffering from inflammation of the lungs. He was taken on board insensible, and his recovery is very doubtful. He is a young man, and steady. The Nelson contingent foundit rough work marching with worn out boots for sixteen miles, but of course new ones were issued on arrival there. The Yoluuteers . (Nelson) preseated
Sergt. Eaynon with two pounds seventeen shillings in recognition of his abilities as a drill. Tbey also subscribed two pounds to Sergt. Alborough, their staff-sergeant. Such good feeling is creditable in the extreme to both donors and recipients.
Major Noake publishes an order by direction of the Native Minister, thanking the Volunteers for their services and behaviour.
