Latest from the Front.
(fbom oub special coreespondent.) OP[JNA£E. This day. I accompanied a party of two hundred natives to Oeoyesterday, where they were met by those brought the day before. There was a long cry. The men looked sullen, and say they will return to Parihaka. It is doubtful if the Taranaki men will give trouble, but the JNgatiruanui (Titokowaru's people) will require watching. Tito himself was handcuffed at Parihaka for using threatening language to Captain Northcroft, saying " Your day will come soon; hare you forgotten Motumoa and Te Mgatu o te Manu." Doubtless his people are imbued with the same feeling. Rations and tents were supplied at Oeo, but the people had not dispersed. Hone Pihama killed four bullocks for them. Captain Messenger armed to-day with 70 more, and Captain Taylor left for New Plymouth with 173 natives, including some Waikatos. '' The Haurakt left with the Palmerston and Fielding contingents of Volunteers at 8 yesterday morning. The sea was very rough, and she put back under Cape Egmont about four, and is still there. The Cavalry are to receive daily allowance for horses. Twenty more whares have been pulled down at Parihaka, and a guard placed by the bridge south of Opunake to stop any natives crossing without a pass.
