Foreign Correspondence.
MoRADAHAD, N. W. India, 1
July 16, 1862.
FRIEND LEWIS fear your readers
are beginning to think my promises
about letters front this
. side of the
world are like "Confederate Bonds."
if they could just step in and see your
correspondent striving to keep himself
from melting down in his shoes and at
the same time trying to master a
strange language, they would not won
der that Ins letters are so-far apart.—
It would amuse many of your readers
to see
THE DRESS OF TUE NATIVES
Their fitshions are like the laws of
the Merles and Persians, i. c., they
never change. If a young dandy in
Broadway, N. Y., were to put, on his
grandfather's wedding coat he would
cut quite a strange figure, but the
seine thing might be done here without
any one noticing it at all. The dress
of the poorer classes is exceedingly
scanty; being nothing but a piece of
coarse cotton cloth wound around their
loins, and a close-fitting skull cap of
the same material. Their shoes, when
they have any, are all made in the
same shape, Lying quite low and with- I
out strings, and always turned Lack at I
the toes in the shape of sleigh-runners. 1
The leather is generally colored- blue, !
red or green; black is very seldom'
used by any except those who have
adopted the English style. The shoes
of all classes are left at the door when I
entering a house.. No oriental, but an
unmannerly boor, would think of en
tering a house with his shoes on.—
When I. go into my schoolroom in the
morning I generally find forty or fifty
pairs of shoes at the door, and their
wearers inside of the room busy at their
lessons. The wealthier classes wear
close-iitting pants fastened around the
waist with a draw string. Over these
they wear a long coat which fits close
np to the neck and open on the left or
right side according to the caste of the
wearer. The most respectable classes
generally wear over this a long white
robe or a pink or scarlet sash passing
over one shoulder and under the other
arm. The sash or scarf is generally of
very fine material, and adds consider
able gracefulness to the wearer. `fhb
skull cap or " tepee " of the wealthy is
generally made of tine cambric and
trimmed with tinsel braid. When they
travel they wear on their heads what
is called a " pugree," being simply a
strip of very thin muslin about ten
yards long and three quarters wide,
wound round and round the head.—
The women of the low classes dress
more like men do in our country.—
They wear pants and closc-fittingjaek
ets. All the betler classes, however,
dress quite gracefully. They wear
skirts and boddies, over which a white
robe called a " chudra " is thrown, the
middle of it resting on the top of the
head and leaving only the face
Both rich and poor—like many silly
people in America—are exceedingly
fowl of jewelry. And here, like there,
it is neither a sign of wealth nor of good
ta4e. I have seen women with rings
two inches in diameter in their ears
and noses, bracelets from the wrist to
the elbow, around their ankles, and
one or two rings on every toe, and at
the same time they were carrying a l i
bushel-basket of (hied cow-dung—for
fuel—on their heads. I wish some of
our young ladies in America could see
these poor, degraded creatures loaded
with trumpery. Surely they would
have their noses bored, and some lead
bracelets made for their ankles. lam
more than ever convinced that wear
ing jewelry is a relic of barbarism and
disgraceful to any man or woman pro
fessing Christianity. It is our custom
here when persons embrace Christiani
ty to require them to "renounce the
devil and his works " among which
wearing jewelry stands prominent.—
Would it not be for the honor of reli
gion if the same practice were pursued
by the church at home? A native
christian woman was one day looking
over seine daguerreotype likenesses on
our table. Among the rest she found
one of a lady with ear rings and breast
pin on. She looked np with evident
surprise, and inquired it' that " Ma'am
Sahib " was a e/tristian ! The Mahom
edan women tire seldom if ever seen in
public, If you accidentally meet one
she always covers her face with her
"chudar" or robe. The same custom
is practiced by Ifindoo women.
msnoo
There are various kinds of beggars
in India. Perhaps the most numerous
class is composed of a set of fanatical
religious mendicants called "Pagirs."
HUNTINGDON„ PA., WEDNESDA . Y, SEPTEMBER 24, 1862.
Sonic of these stroll about the country,
wearing their hair down to their shoul
ders, having their faces tattooed and
smeared with mud, and having no
clothes but a coarse blanket, probably
closely resembling the sackcloth of
Scripture. They are supposed to pos
sess peculiar sanctity, and on this ac
count their ignorant countrymen con
sider it a religious duty to support
them in idleness. Smile of them lead
about a sacred animal to which the su
perstitions people give liberally. Of
course the owner—like the " Organ-
Grinders " with their in On kOLV's in Am
erica—appropriates the money. I was
sitting in my room one morning when
a man came to the door leading a large
white bull. The man wore but little
clothing while his bullsliip was richly
caparisoned. The two made their
profound " salaam." The bull—altho'
a native—not being able to talk fin
destan, his master introduced him as
" the sacred bull" (a little piece of
Egyptian idolatry this) - and asked alms
fbr his sanctimonious protoge'. Of
course he received no encouragement
fi em us. Many of the beggars are lep
ers whose hands and feet have been
nearly eaten up by that terrible dis
ease. One old man comes to our door
once a week, riding on a " tattoo " (a
native pony) and commences his peti
tions for help by praying to his heathen
gods for al/ manner of blessings upon
us. Among the rest that we may be
blest with a numerous progeny; this,
as ill ancient times, being considered
the 'greatest of all blessings, among
orientals.
IMEMBE
The people, from the smallest to the
greatest, are firm believers in fate.—
They are, on the whole, the stiffest
predestinarians I have ever met with.
Time after time when talking with
them about their evil conduct, they
have used the following sophistry
" Well, did not God make me ?"
" Yes "
" Well, if God made me what caused
me to sin ?"
Your own evil heart, with the as
sist:thee or the devil."
" Pid not Clod make the devil?
" God made hint an angel, but he
made himselfa
"Well, if God made the devil and
the devil made me sin, whose i4ult is
it ?"
This is what I would cal! predestina
tion stctectl dotrn.
Two young men in our employ heat
a native Christian unmercifully. They
were arrested and imprisoned. When
tltcit broth - aselmle foi , lTieir - wages
whiell was in our hands, we expressed
our regret that the men had brought so
much trouble upon themselves. Their
only answer was: " It is written in their
fate." A young Musselman fell in our
well and was killed. No one made
any ado; all saying: "It is written in
his fate, and as this is a feast day, it is
a /trail time to die!" More anon.
Truly yours, J. 1). BROWN.
Terrible Scene at Sea
Narrative of a Survivor from the Gold
en Gate.
Mr. A. Bates, a steerage passenger
on board the California steamer Geld
ed Gate, furnishes a San Francisco pa
per the following interesting narrativ e
of the scenes on board that vessel
when she was burned at sea :
"The clay was very warm, and I
was sitting on deck forward. This
was about half-past four o'clook in the
afternoon , all was quiet. I suddenly
saw smoke issuing from the deck.
about midships, and near the smoke
stack. I watched it a moment, when
becoming convinced there was a fire,
I cried out. ,lust at this moment oth
ers saw the smoke too, and we all
rushed toward the pumps or brakes,
forward, which were chiefly used for
cleaning the deck.
" We used the pumps as best we
could. We took turns working. 1
worked a few minutes, when, seeing
it would do no good, I went forward.
All then began to crowd forward, and
had no life-preservers, for they were
in the boats behind, and no one could
go through the fire after them. In
about five minutes from the time I
saw the smoke, the flames burst
! through the decks. ft seemed as if
the means for extinguishing a fire had
been neglected, for the pumps would
not work.
" The flames kept coming forward
every moment, and all pressed still
closer to the bows. Ropes were now
attached to the vessel and thrown over
the sides, to hold on to. Some were
so frightened that the moment the tire
came near them they plunged wildly
overboard and were drowned. Oth
ers climbed over and held on to the
ropes as long as they could. They
got exhausted and dropped off singly,
and in pairs, and were lost.
"There were ten boats aboard—en
ough to save every soul on beard—
but only three of them could be got
at. Two of these, loaded chiefly with
the crew, got safely to the shore. The
other sailed away for Manzanilla, and
has not been heard from. The men
, that got into the boats leaped over
board and were picked up. The °dicers
seemed to do very well, and the men
were not insubordinate, but appeared
to obey orders and work well.
"I secured a rope and determined
to stay aboard to the last moment,
and then swim for the shore. lam a
very good swimmer. I had stripped
myself of everything but my shirt. I
had about my waist a belt with some
money; but a large sum which I had
in my trunk was lost.
" While thus standing at the bows,
grasping my rope, continued Mr. 11.,
" a little girl, a lovely child, about 8
years of age, came up to me and asked
-PERSEVERE.-
Inc to save her. Her name was Addie
Manchester, and her father lives in
San Francisco. She said :
a 0, mister, can you swim?"
" I told her I could. She begged
me so hard to save her that I determ
ined to try to do so anyhow. I told
her 1 would try to save her if she
would do just as I told her. She said:
" will do just as you tell me.—
Say . e me; do. please-1 don't want to
be drowned.'
"I showed her how to act—to get
on my back and grasp me tightly, but
that she must not choke me. She
promised to do just as I told her.--
She was quite cool. Just as the lire
got up to us the vssel struck the bar.
I got over, taking Addle with me.—
She held on to me tight, as I told her
to do. I struck for the beach, not far
off. The breakers ran very high. I
got past the first 0110 in safety with
my burden. I got past tile second Ono
also. After I got past the third one,
found that Addle was gone. I turned
round and saw her going down behind
me. A man on r plank, who was pas
shin., grasped her by the hair and pub
leeher on his plank. I saw she was
safer than with me, so I continued on,
and was dragged•on the beach. 1 lay
on the beach insensible for about half
an hour. When I came to, I saw Ad
die. She was lively.
"I dug a hole in the sand to keep
warm in. We buried the dead each iu
a separate grave, which we dug out
with our hands and pieces of board.
"Next morning we travelled inland.
About five miles of? we reached a
spring; here we rented. Some of our
party then started across the moun
tains to reach Manzanillo.; others, in
cluding myself, were to remain until
assistance reached us. We had noth
ing to eat. That afternoon, and after
our friends hail left us, the St. Louis
came along and took us on board.
Letter from Panon Brownlow.
We make the following extract of a
letter from Parson Brownlow to the
editor of the Philadelphia Press :
"Such a state of feeling is now being
engendered, and such a storm is coin
ing as will sweep from the loyal States
all who dare set up (or the rebellion,
and that before a great w hilt. The
North is full of these traitors, meaner,
in all material respects, than the trai
lers at Richmond. These vile miscre
ants are seeking to poison the public
mind against President Lincoln; charge
him with the °Hain of theNar...; deClaro
Mat incompetent, :Ind evenpropose to
depose him, and inaugurate Jeff Davis
as a peace measure. Others take the
gratind that we have not men enough
to put down the rebellion in the field,
and - that the President is at fault. I
tell them the President is net at fimlt ;
that Senators and Repregentatives in
Congress gravely told us that there
were double the number of men in the
field necessary to put down the rebel
lion, and that these money-saving par
tisan Congressmen madly stopped en
listments just at the time our armies
should have been increased. These
vile demagogues are now at work in
the different States trying to reorgan
ize and resurrect old, defunct, rotten,
exploded, and fly-blown political par
ties.• The North is full of men of this
class, who, for the sake of power and
place, would compromise this quarrel
with the South, upon terms disgraceful
to every loyal State in the Union.—
Many of this class of men are in Con
gress. While the Richmond Junta are
passing conscription laws, forcing eve
ry man, from sixteen to fifty-five, into
the army, these men in the Union
Congress were stopping even the vol
untary enlistment of gallant men wil
ling to fight us out of these troubles.
And these very men are now trying
to throw the responsibilities of our late
reverses on President Lincoln, brought
about by the want of men they refused I
to give the President ! Let the people
look to this matter, and brand these!
infamous traitors at the ballot-box, in
the coming elections, as the worst of.
traitors, and the most dangerous of en-
emies—in this, the trying hour of our
nation's danger. If we would save
the country, let these traitors, and this
treason, be crushed out. Let all true
men nip this treason in the bud.
"Another class of traitors—certain
ly hypocrites—are preaching up that
we must consult the Great Arbiter of i
our destinies; that we must pray and 1 .
work to the ends of peace before we
can call upon God for help! As a na
tion, ire Imvoiverichril,prayed, and quar-1
relrd ourselves into these troubles, and
we must now light out of them I
have great faith : in Providence myself,
and I have no fears that He will take
sides with the Southern Rebellion,
which He knows to have originated in
falsehood, perjury, dishonesty, and
drunkenness. But we are not to fold
our arms at the bidding of hypocrites
and demagogues, and call on God to
relieve us; we must work, and " act
well our part," for, there all the honor
and piety lie ! Napoleon made a good
remark when he said, "Heaven is ever
on the side of the heaviest artillery."
And Cromwell, though an ungodly
man, gave his Roundheads good advice,
when he said, " Trust in God, and keep
your powder dry."

The Battle of South Mountain
BOONSBORO, Md., Septemberls—The
battle of South Mountain was fought
yesterday, resulting in a complete vic
tory to the army of tho Potomac.
The battle field was located in a
gorge of the mountains on the turn
pike read, between Middletown and
I3oonsboro.
During the forenoon, the firing was
by the artillery endeavorinr , to ascer
tain the rebel strength. About 12 o'-
clock, the corps under General Reno
was ordered to ascend the mountain
on the loft and make an attack on the
enemy's flank. At 3 o'clock, General
Reno's troops got into action. The
rattle of musketry for about half' an
hour was terrible, when the enemy
gave way, leaving our men in posses
sion of that portion of the ridge. The
loss on both sides was considerable.—
We had no general or field-officers in,
jured at this point, except General
Reno, who was killed by a Minie ball
passing through his body.
General Hooker, commanding. Gen.
McDowell's corps and the Pennsylva
nia reserves, ascended the mountain on
the right for the purpose of attacking
the rebel left. He got his troops into
position and moved upon the enemy
flboat, two hours before sundown.—
Hero, as in the case of the other ridge
of the mountain, our troops were sue
cosful in driving the enemy before them
with great slaughter. The rebels suf
fered here more than at any other
point of the battle-field.
General lintel), commanding a di
vision under Gen. Hooker was wound
ed in the leg.
General Gibbons' brigade, composed
of the 2d, MI, and 7th Wisconsin, and
19th Indiana Regiments, was ordered
to move up the gorge) of the mountain,
This In igivle did not get into action
until after dark, which lasted till near
ly nine o'clock. This brigade lost
about one hundred and twenty killed
and wounded. Among the dead is
Captain Caldwell, of the 2d Wisconsin.
The rebels were driven back about
a mile, when Gen. Gibbons' brigade
was relieved by a portion of General
Sumner's corps, who held the position
during the night.
The rebel troops engaged werelong
street's, D. IL. and A. P. Hill's corps.
Had our troops had two hours longer
of daylight the ., )..eater portion of the
rebel army would have been taken pris
oners, as they vere surrounded on three
sides ; the only mode of escape being
Abrough a narrow defile in the moan :
tain, - i;llTeli the artillery would soon
have rendered impassable.
Among the rebel officers known to
be killed were Gen. Garland, of Lees
and Col. Strong, of the 10th Va.
The latter's body was obtained to-day
by a flag of truce.
At daylight this morning our worst
fears were realized. The rebels, under
cover of the night, had left on their
way to the Potomac. They went to
th is place two miles from the mountains
and there took the road towards
Sharpsbnrg. They left, all their dead
on the field, and those of their wound
ed not able to walk, were found in the
churches at Boonesboro.
General McClellan was on the field
during the whole day and night, con
ducting all the movements in person.
Between 1,200 and 1,500 prisoners
were taken during the day, most of
them by General Hooker's division.
Yesterday General Franklin's corps
advanced to a mountain 6 miles nearer
Ifarper's Ferry, where he engaged the
enemy holding that pass for about
hours, resulting in a complete rout of
the enemy and heavy loss.
Our loss in this action was about 250
killed and wounded. The rebel loss
during the day and night was fully
15,000 in killed, wounded and missing.
Gen. Lee acknowledged to the citizens
of iioonsboro, that they had been de
feated with terrible loss.
Our loss in killed and wounded will
probably reach 3,000.
We lost but few prisoners.
This morning, at daylight, General
Pleasanton, with the Bth Illinois Cav
alry and Captain Fitshoil's battery,
started after the enemy. At I3oonsbo
ro, he came up with the oth Virginia
Cavalry, with a battery, acting as the
rear guard. The Illinois Cavalry
charged after them through the town
and two miles out on the Hagerstown
turnpike, capturing two of their guns,
and killed, wounded or captured about
thirty of the cavalry.
Cien..Richardson's division being on
the advance, took the road from this
place towards Sharpsburg, two and a
half miles from which town he came up
with the enemy, in large force, who
occupied a long ridge of hills. They
showed a lino of battle one and a half
miles long. The afternoon was spent
in ascertaining the position and force
of the rebels, not a sufficient number
of our troops having come up to bring
on an engagement.
TUESDAY - MORNING, September 16.
Daring last night the larger part of the
army arrived on the ground. It is
now 9 o'clock, and no engagement has
taken place. The rebels are rapidly
moving across the river.
Gen. Lew. Wallace is doing a good
work among tne miserable loafers who
—" Aw—weally find—aw—militawy
duty too twying." These compounds
of imbecility and cowardice arc put
incontinently at work on the fortifica
tions, the provost guard exhibiting a
heartless disregard of their complex:-
ions and their jewelled hands.
A Scottish paper states that " poor

General MeGleEau's Order Against
Straggling.
ILEADQUARTERS ARMY Or TUI POTO
MAC, Camp near Rockville, Md. Sept. 9.
The mischievous practice of strag
gling, it is observed, is again instituted
in this army, and this, In many cases,
without the least apparent concern on
the part of the commanding officers of
either the higher or lower grades.—
Straggling is habitually associated
with cowardice, marauding, and theft.
The straggler must now be taught to
learn that he leaves the ranks with
out authority, and skulks at the, sever
est risk, even to that of death.
Commanders of regiments will see
that the rolls of every company are
called before the regiment starts on
the march, at every halt, and at the
close of the march. The absentees at
these roll-calls will be reported to the
regimental adjutant. Regimental ad
jutants will retain lists of absentees
thus reported to them, and if, upon the
straggler joining his company, ho have
not a good excuse for absence, the
word " straggled," and the date and
time of absence will be set against
the soldier's name on the next mnster
roll. The judges of the validity of
this excuse will he the three senior of
ficers of the regiment in session to
gether. Loss of pay for the time ab
sent, of course, follows this entry, but
colonels of regiments will see that
stragglers are besides brought to pun
ishment. Field-officers have now by
law, all the power that a regimental
court-martial had for the punishment
of offenders. In the absence of a field
officer, an acting field-officer may ex
ercise these powers. If the proffered
excuse exhibit laxity or neglect of dit
ty on the part of company command
ers, their names will be reported for
dismissal, or they may be brought to
trial.
• On the march, corp , :. commanders
should allow rest at proper intervals, ,
that the troops may have an opportu
nity to adjust their equipments, obey
the calls of nature, etc., etc. Except
at these rests, no man should be allow
ed,to leave the ranks, save for some
extraordinary cause, when the com
pany commander, will give the soldier
a written ticket of permission to leave
the ranks; these tickets should be pro
pared in blank beforehand. Every
soldier thus leaving the ranks, will
leave his musket, haversack and knap
sack with the company, which the
captain--will have cariled by the
Biers of the company until the soldier
returns. If the soldier be sick and fall
out, his sickness will be no plea in his
favor for escape from the penalties of
straggling, unless furnished with a
written certificate of his sickness from
the surgeon or assistant surgeon of
the regiment. Sick mon should, in all
cases, be properly taken charge of by
the medical officers of the - regiment,
that they may not be accused of strap I
gling if really sink or wounded.
Each division should have a strong
rear guard, behind which no straggler,
of whatever corps or regiment, should
be permitted to remain, unless the
struggler's company is to the rear.—
If the divisions have any cavalry with
them, it will scour the country on the
flanks; if not, then infantry thinkers of
the rear guard must perform that ser
vice. The bayonet must be used to en
force obedience to these orders.
FREE
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 155
The inspector general of corps
should be especially active to see that
these instructions are executed.
Provost marshals will send cavalry
when they have it, on all the roads to
their rear to hurry up stragglers. No
straggler should be permitted to halt
until he has joined his proper regi
ment.
On all forks of roads corps comman
ders should leave mounted men, if they
have them 3 if not, then footmen, to re
main during the passage of the corps
and come up with the rear guards, to
show which way the troops have
marched. The provost - marshals of
corps or divisions should take meas
ures to occupy every dwelling in the
vicinity of the line of march of the
troops, and prevent any intrusion on
the part of officers or men. All dama
ges to fences or crops, all marauding
and trespassing will be prevented as
far as possible. Marauders will be at
once brought to trial by division com
manders, and the sentence of death
will be executed, if awarded by the
court, with promptness and as publicly
as possible.
Any officer of any regiment or corps
whatever, is authorized to order foi.-
ward or arrest any stragglers of any
regiment in the army. Resistance to
such exercise of authority will be at
the risk of death.

KILLING 11.1Ts.—.A. XovEL DEvien.
—One of our exchanges gives the fol
lowing simple plan for getting rid of
rats, and it looks to us like a good one;
" Take a mackerel barrel, for in
stance, and fill .it about one third its
height with water. Then place a log
endwise in the water, so that one end
will just remain over the surlime.—,
Make the head of the barrel a little
too small to fit it, and suspend it by
two pins to the inside of the top of
the barrel, so that it will hang as if on
a pivot and easily tip by touching
ther side. On this head thus suspend
ed secure a piece of savory meat, The
first rat that scents it will, to get the
meat, leap on the barrel head. Tho
head will trip, or tilt, precipitate bins
into the water, and resume its posi
tion. The rat in the water will swim
to the log, get on the end of it, and
squeal Vociferously. His cries will
bring other rats, all of whom will bQ
tilted into the water, and all of whom
will fight for the only dry spot in it,
viz: the end of the log. its only ono
rat can hold it, the victor will drown
all the rest, and can, in the morning,
be drowned himself. We have seen
twenty rats caught in one night by
such a trick."
