The patrol succeeded in reaching the cnmp in safety. Mr. O'Brien, the proprietor of the Dordrecht Guardian, has been arrested and is now on his way to Bloenifoniein. Mr. O'Brien, of the Frontier Guardian, who has just arrived here, reports that his father has been arrested by 10 armed burghers, and taken to Aliwal North, cia Jamestown.
