[By Telegraph. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT .] Okato, This Day.
Yesterday G8 men of the Wellington Navals escorted the ammunition towards Rahota, under Captain Taylor, of the A.C. 1 he Nelson battalion arrived at Okato at 6 o'clock, after a march of 18 miles. They appear to have had a very rough passage to New Plymouth, and their march on the day after landing must have tried all. There were no sick, however, on their arrival in camp. Tho Artillery bring one six-pounder Armstrong gun, which they mounted on the beach at New Plymouth in a very creditable manner, time three minutes. The Nelson men march at 9 o'clock to-day for Rahotu, 15 miles distant. Major Pitt commands and Dr. Boor is in medical charge.
