CURIOUS AFFAIR.
Benett-Burleigh states that recently Lord Methuen's force, marching during a dark night, and indifferently led, moved in a circle, and succeeded in capturing their own Convoys.
Privates John Considine and William Davies, of the Seventh N.Z. Mounteds, were wounded at Charlestown.
FURTHER CAPTURES.
Major-General Kekewich reports that the Scottish Horse, commanded by Major Leader, killed seven and captured one hundred and thirty-one of Do la Rey's commando, including Commandant Sarel Alberts, Landdrost Potgieter, and Cornet Jan Der Pleisses. The British casualties were slight.
