THE WHITE CLIFFS.
Since the mnrders, the rebel natives have not been seen near the White Cliffs, although fires were distinctly visible on the Mokau Ranges. At the beginning of the week, Capt. Gudgeon and a party of the Armed Constabulary went to the Cliffs as a covering party to the Chatham Island natives who werei there to get in some of the crops ofthe murdered settlers. The redoubt shows no signs of anyone hiving visited the place since the armed party brought the bodies therefrom. The Chatham Island natives, we hear, fired off their pieces several times, bnt ib was not responded to, so we presume that none of the rebels were about or they would probably have made an attaok on them. Many of the settlers are still on their farms, but at night stop at the blockhouses. All apparently is perfectly quiet.
