Correspondence.

[Our correspondence columns are impartially open to all matters of public interest, but. we do aot, in any way identify ourselves with opinions expressed —I am abought to go on a crusade. ■"■ have insured my life and my house, and s ecured my bundles in a strong box and buiied it in the most inmost recess of the primeval forest. Igo about armed; I am exceeding careful with whom I take a drink, knowing, that every man's hand is against me; I take every precaution a wise and brave man tihould. I am going for the "Whatawhata pigs ! I have made that the object of my life. I know there are almost unsuperable difficulties attendant, and that other men, braver men, have shrunk back appalled from grappling with this tremendious subject. A difficulty by the idea of which the TurcoEussian. or even the Maori difficulty srinks into insignificence, but this shall not deter me. Yes! with bated breath, I say I am about to go for the "Whatawhata pigs; and should I succeed in ridding an already oppressed world of but one of these pests, I shall die happy with the full knowledge of having done an action worthy of being handed down to posterity as one of the most glorious actions of a glorious age, and of having saved my country in the time of her utmost need. In the meantime, I hope your Whatawhata correspondent will be quite happy when he knows there is some one outside his own district who is willing (and even anxious), to immolate himself for the "Whatawhata good, and save the good people of that thriving city the trouble and risk of helping themselves in this matter.—l am, &c.,- Patriot.
