Following is tho text of (ionoral Buber's dispatch, ?lated Spearman's camp, Sat urday, January 27th, (1:10 P. M.: "On January 20 Warren drovo back the enemy and obtained possession of tho southern croate of tho high table bind extending from tho lino of Acton Hemes to llongor's I'oorl, to the western Lady smith hills. From then to January 23 ho remained in close contact willi tho enemy. "Tho enemy held ii strong position on a range of small kopjes, stretching from northwest to southeast, across tho pla teau from Acton Homos, through Spion Kop, to the left bank of tho Tug?la. "The. actual position held was per fectly tenable, but did not lend itself to an advanco, as tho southern slopes wero so stoei> that Warren could not got ?in et?octive artillery position, and water supply was ii dilliculty. "On January 2'i 1 assented to his attacking Spion Kop, a largo hill, indeed, a mountain, which wascvidontly the key of tho position, but was far more accessible from the mut h than from the south. "Oil tho night of Januar}* 2"'? bc attacked Spion Kop, but found it very di ill cult to hold, as its pori motor was too large, and wator, which ho had been led to believe existed in this extraordinary dry season, was found very deficient. "The crests were hold all that day against severe attacks and a heavy shell lire. Our men fought with groat gal lantry. I would especially mention tho conduct of tho 2d Camoronians ami 'bo .'id King's Lilies, who supported Ibo attack on tho mountain from the steeli est side, and in each caso fought their way to tho lop, and tho Jd Lancashire Fusiliers iiiid 2d Middlesex, who mag nificently maintained tho best tradi tions of the British anny through out thc trying day of January 21, and Thornycroft's mounted infantry, who fought throughout tho iiay equally well alongside of them. ''(?en.

"I reached Warren's camp at "> A. M. on January 2"?, and decided that a second attack upon Sidon Kop was useless, and that the enemy's right was too strong to allow tue to force it. "Accordingly I decided to withdraw thc force to the .South of tho Tug?la. At ii A. M. wo commenced withdrawing tho train, and by S A. M., January 27, (Saturday) Warren's force was concen trated south of tho Tugcla without tho loss of ii man or a pound of stores. " The fact lliat thc force could with draw from actual touch-in some cases tho lines were less than a thousand yards apart - with the enemy in tho man ner il did is, I think, sullicieiit evidence of the morale of thc troops, and that we were pormitlcd to withdraw our cum brous ox and mule transportation across the river, eighty-live yards broad, with twenty-foot hanks and a very swift cur rent, unmolested, is, I think, proof that tho enemy has hoon taught to respect our soldiers' lighting powers."
