Letter from India
BY S. D. BROWN
Since the date of my last letter I
have been what we call itinerating, i.
e., traveling with my tent and preach.
ing among the towns and villages.—
On ono of these tours I attended what
is called "The Neemkar Maki." At
Neemkar there is a celebrated Hindoo
shrine or place of pilgrimage. Hie-
duos come by the thousand, even from
very great distances, to make offerings
and to bathe in the sacred pool, which
is surrounded by temples filled with
idols. Missionaries frequently attend
these malas in order to preach to the
crowds who are always to be found
there on such occasions. Ncemkar is
about 25 miles from Seetapore—my
home—so I sent my tent out the day
before, and on Friday afternoon I.
mounted my horse and rode out and
found my tent up and my dinner—or
as you would say, supper—ready. In
India we do not have dinner in the
middle of the day. During much of
the year the heat is so great that it
would be very uneomfortable work
eating at noon: 8o we rise early in
the morning, take a cup of tea, and
attend to our out door work before
breakfast, which meal generally comes
on the table between oand 10 o'clock.
Then wo have dinner between 4 and 5
o'clock in the evening, after which we
can go out and preach again, or attend
to any out door work which may be
on our hands.
I=l
The next day the people came crow
ding in from all sides, preceded, as is
their custom, by bands of men and wo•
men, singing and playing on very pri
mitive and, to my ear, unmusical in
struments. The principal points which
seemed to be aimed at were noise and
discord. Taking a stroll amen.. ' the
temples I noticed a lot of lazy well fed
Brahmins sitting on the stops of one,
playing cards, ich, by the way, is a
very common amusement among all
classes of natives in India; and, like
their dishonest paternity in more en
lightened countries, they gamble for
money or almost anything else. These
Brahmins are the pest and curse of In•
dia. They extort money from the
people by all manner of deception,
One of them, a man of considerable
intelligence, who has just joined our
church on probation, told me the fol,
lowing trick by which they collect un
told sums of money front their super,
stitious countrymen : These religious
mendicants daub their fitcos with ash
es—put on a peculiar style of clothing,
consisting chiefly of a long strip of
coarse muslin dyed yellow; string a
great lot of sacred beads around their
necks, and with a large dried gourd
suspended like a shot pouch from the
shoulder, and one of the very crooked
est bamboos they can find for a cane,
they tvander here and there and very
where through the whole country.—
Stopping a fbw days in one village and
then going on to another. The poor
ignorant villagers think them very ho
ly, and feed them wherever they go.
Of course in this way they find out a
great deal about the past and present
history of the fitmilies in (lie villages
they visit. Now let us see to what
good, advantage they turn the kuowl,
edge thus secured. After a long tour
of this kind they come back to their
homes at some one of the shrines of a
certain deity. By and bye, many of
these same villagers will come to a
Malt at the shrine where rho ruendis
cant lives. There have been so many
mendicants in their villages that they
do not recognize any of them. So one
"Faqir," for that is what they aro call
ed, goes -up to a villager and says:—
"Your name is Rani Deen. Your fa
ther Buldar of Ituttunpore died five
years ago last March. He had prom
ised to pay Viand here the sum will be'
large or small according to the ability
of the villager) ten rupees at this shiine
but he die d' without doing so and is
kept standing at the door of heaven
and cannot get in until the money is
paid. Now, surely, you aro not going
to let your poor father stand there
year after year when you can gain ad
mittance for.him by paying so small a
sum." The poor villager is thunder
struck, and says to himself "it must be
true, for Ram Deen is my name and
my father Buldar did die just where
and when this good man says." Of
course he asks the Faquir how he came
to know all this, but he is ready with
the following reply: "An angel who
pitied your father came and told me
in order that I might inform you."—
Ram Deen pays over the ten rupees
and goes on his way rejoicing to know
that ho has been able to seeureso hap.
py a lot for his father. Faquir pockets
the money and congratulates himself
that ho has enough to keep him com
fortably a month.
It may be asked why the Brahmins
possess so much influence over the
people in India. My readers must re
member that of the various "castes"
amonr , b the Hindoos the Brabinins
stand highest. All the minor divisions
of caste proceed from main branches.
According to Mann, the Brahmins,
Ksbatniyas, Yarsyas, and Sudras,
sprang respectively from the mouth,
the arm, the thigh and the foot of
Brahma. Hence the; Brahmin claim
to be superior to all others. They say
the Sudras were created simply to
servo the Brahmins, 3&e. It is easy to
see that the whole system is the in
vention of the Brahmins.
But to return to the Mala. 'Endo°
merchants, like some Ten of their call
ing in other countries, generally
map
ago to make religion "pay." A few

HUNTINGDON, PA „ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1866,
days previous to a P.lala they gather in
from all quarters and are ready to sup
ply the crowds with almost anything
they would be likely to demand. A
piece of ground is set apart for their
special accommodation, and each tilts
der stretches a few yards of coarse
muslin over a couple of bamboos—
"opens out"—and half an hour after
his arrival on the ground, is doing a
brisk business. Here ho remains dur
ing the continuance of the Mala, usu,
ally from five to ten days,—finds time
some morning to bathe in the sacred
water, and at the close of the perform
ance returns to his town or village,
quite well satisfied with the result of
his journey, for he has not only wash
ed away his sins (so he thinks) but
has made a handsome profit on his
goods.
It would be impossible to describe
the scene I witnessed on Sabbath mor
ning, that, as it happened, being the
day specially set apart for bathing and
presenting offerings to the idols, or ra
ther to the Brahmins who get their
living in this way. I left my tont
early in the morning and made my
way through the dense crowd to the
steps of the tank or pond in which the
poor devotees were bathing. Such a
sight ! Little children supported by
their parents, and decropid old men
and women held up by their relatives,
were plunging into the water, dipping
their heads under three times, then
scrabbling up the steps and pushing
their way through the crowds to the
groves, where they bad left a few dry
clothes in the carp of' some neighbor.
The air was quite cold and I saw old
women shaking as with ague as they
tottered' along in their wet clothes.—
The tank is not over one hundred feet
square, and I have no doubt that not
less than five thousand persons dipped
themselves in its filthy waters during
that Sabbath morning!
Several times during the day I tried
to preach to hundreds who were as
sembled in the vicinity of the tank.—
Of the idols and the offerings made to
them I may write in another letter.—
After spending several days preaching
and selling and distributing religions
books,
.I returned to a place called Nis
rik, which is also visited by the pil
grims who go to Nemliar. Here I
tbund my wife and children who had
come out in a "doby," a kind of palan
quin carried on the shoulders of four
men. Having our tent put up there
'wo preached to the multitudes two or
three days. In Misrik !found a great
pile of broken images, which the peo
ple said had been lying. there ever
since the days of Alimgir, a Moham
medan king who had caused all ima
ges to be destroyed throughout this
part of India, with the hope that the
llindoos would give up idolatry, but
they have gotten up the plums of their
maltreated deities, and worship them
to this day.
The Government has established a
school in the place;
but I found but
few boys in attendance. The people
say, "We get our living from the pi! ,
grins who come hero, and our chil
dren will do the same; so where is the
use in their learning to read ?" I ex
amined the classes in Urdoo and fin
dee, and gave each boy a book. Hay
ing work demanding my presence in
my station wo returned home.
Will not the readers of the Globe
give freely of their money to help en
lighten these poor ignorant and be
nighted people? And especially would
I urge the children of Iluntinglon co.,
many of whom I have addressed in
their Sunday Schools, to pray ffir the
salvation of the poor boys and girls of
India. How I wish the little readers
of the Globe could go with me seine
morning to my school and see nearly
ono hundred boys—many of them with
bright eyes and intelligent countenanN
cos—reading their daily lesson in the
Testament! lam sure they would be
?leased and would be- happy to know
that ono who used to talk with them
in their Sunday Schools, now spends
many hours in teaching those poor
heathen boys the word of God.
Now, I have written a long letter,
but it is seldom I find time to devote
an hour to what is to mo a pleasant
task; and as it costs very considerable
to send a letter from this far country,
I hope you will not think my present
letter too long to be interesting.
SEETAPORE, OUDII,

[Per the Globe. I
Letter from the West
WESTFORD, Wis., March 27, 1860
MESSRS. EDITORS :—ln my last I
gave you a brief description of our
town ; allow me .to say in addition
there is more business done hero in one
week than in Huntingdon in two.—
These little western towns all assume
a business like appearance; at least, all
I have seen. People all appear to be
employed, each man driving ahead his
own affairs. You don't see loafing
around tho corners and blackguards
strolling the streets at night. All is
right, everything is safe. The mer
chant closes his establishment for the
day, leaving the windows exposed to
burglars, and seeks rest perfectly easy.
Such crimes as blackguarding, burgla
ry, petty thieving, etcetera, appear to
be unknown. The people delight in
their exhibition of wit and sharp deal
ing. Allow me to say the generality
are as witty as the wittiest and as
sharp as the sharpest. They aro prin.
cipally from New York, Vermont and
Mains; very few Pennsylvanians. My
old friend Dr. Me— of Spruce Creek,
remarked to mo a few days before I
loft Huntingdon that I would be tired
of Wisconsin before I would be in it
long; that nobody lived in Columbia
county but Irishmen. In reply I can
say it is just the contrary. I have
seen but ono of those sturdy sons since
my arrival. Two or three settlements
-PERSEVERE.-
east of us aro German, ono west is
Welsh, and further west, Gorman and
Norwegian. Irdians can be seen at
almost any tine passing on the cars.
Thus you perceivo the variety is
great, notwitlstanding the scarcity of
Ireland's sons.
The country is beautiful; very•levek
not rough and rugged as many would
readily imagine; not hilly and well
timbered as many presume. Timber
is scarce: Wood sells readily at 84,50
and 85,00 per cord; boards, common,
$lB per one thousand feet; shingles,
from $3 to $lO per thousand. Prices
eerrespond.nearly with those of home.
Wheat, 81,10; flour, $7; oats, 20; corn,
40; butter, 2.3; beans, .31 per bushel;
dressed hogs, $lO per cwt,; eggs, 15;
apples, $ 2 ; and potatoes, 25 cents. A
prime mileh cow will readily bring
810, while a good horse—well, nothing
to boast of—will sell for $250. The
other day I saw a span of mules, cons
sidercd medium size in Pennsylvania,
and very poor at that,_bring the nice
little sum of $6OO. Money is plenty
here; all that is necessary is some place
to invest it. Boarding is reasonable
and of very good quality. Talk about
your first class hotels and first class
boarding in Huntingdon and the Wis
consinites will laugh at you. There is
one thing I acknowledge is not very
palatable, and that is bread. The
western ladies can not compete with
eastern ladies in baking; yet the fault
is not the ladies, 'Lis the wheat of
which the flour is made; it being prin
cipally spring wheat.
During the last week I traversed
over the prairie both east and west,
enjoying the scenery of the country
and sport of a buggy ride. (Westford
has two livery stables, therefore there
is no trouble getting a "rig.") The
towns through which we passed were
Pox Lake and Cambria. The former
is a place of about 2000 inhabitants;
quite a business little town and about
five miles east of this. Cambria is a
Welsh settlement of 2000 or 3000 in•
habitants and a great business place.
You may judge when I inform you
there are sixteen or eighteen stores in it.
Cambria is five miles west of this place
In our travels we frequently passed
what wo supposed to be small hop
yards. Great attention is paid to the
cultivation of ,the.lop in this State—
more perhaps in the western part than
here. For ten dollars you can got suf
ficient roots, or, rather, cuttings of
roots
,toet out one acre. These roots
are Alai .s
about S feet apart each way.
The first year, as the hops don't am
ount to anything, a crop of corn is
raised between the hills, allowing the
vines to run on the ground. Before
winter sets in they are covered with
straw, or a substitute, to shelter from
frost. The second year a pole is placed
to each bill allowing four or five vines
to entwine around it while the balance
are covered up with dirt and prepared
for future planting. When Pall ap•
proaches, the picking begins. Tables
are arranged in the hop yard and box
es placed on each side. One box holds
seven bushels. One person attends to
gathering in the vines and keeping a
supply on the table for the pickers,
who consist of males and fema!e.4. The
wages last fall was .45 cents for seven
bushels, or one box. Two boxes is
considered a good day's work, but
some females pick two boxes and a
half. From the boxes they are taken
to the kiln Tor drying. The kiln cons
sists of two stories, two rooms above
and two below; rooms common sized.
The first room below contains two
large stoves and stove pipe in quantity
to encircle the room; above this, or ra
ther the floor of the room above, con—
sists of slats covered with heavy can
vass. Upon this the green hops are
placed. Tightness of canvass is re
quired to save all the finer portion of
hops. After becoming dry, from this
room they arc shoveled to the adjoin
ing room—floored in the same manner
—for cooling, which requires from fbur
days to a week. From this room they
arc shoveled into a hopper and con
voyed into a box, in room No 4, for
pressing, on the bottom of which is
placed a piece of sacking. The press
is put on, which packs about one hun•
dred and fifty lbs. in a bulk. Then
the press is removed, the box taken
apart, sacking sewed up and the hops
arc ready for market. Many hop rai•
sers, last fall, realized $lOOO per ton,
clearing $5OO per acre. One ton to
the acre is the general produce, so I
am informed.
One more idea and I am done.—
Would it not be advisable for the far
mers on the poor Ridges surrounding
Huntingdon, to turn their attention
to hop raising, instead of' grain Lick
Ridgers, try the experiment, and if it
don't pay I will agree to say nothing
more on the subject.
Thine truly. War. H. A.ENNER.
The Views of Mr, Lincoln on the
Scheme of the. Disunionists,
The following important letter on
the views of Mr. Lincoln on the Radi
cals, and the question of restoration,
has been addressed to President John
son by ex-United States Marshal Lahr
on, Mr. Lincoln's intimate - friend and
former law partner :
Mr. President :—Among the numer
ous allegations made against you by
the ultra abolitionists, I hear none re
peated so often as this---,that you have
deserted the principles upon which
you worn elected, and turned aside
from the path in which your lamented
predecessor would have walked if he
had lived. It seems to he believed by
some that Mr. Lincoln could have been
used by the radicals for all their pur
poses, including the destruction of the
Government, the overthrow of the
Constitution, and the indefinite post
pobement of Union and harmony
among the States. •
T need not say to you or to any

well-informed man that the masses of
that powerful party which supported
Mr. Lincoln and you in the canvass of
1864 were sincerely attached to .the
Union and devoted believers in the
Constitution. They everywhere as
serted, that the object of the war was
to re-establish the Union with the
least possible delay, and one of the
resolutions of the Baltimore Conven•
don pledged you both to restore the
paramount authority of the Constitu•
tion" in all the States.
It is true that the party included
some roalignants who'hated the Union
and tried to destroy it before the war
began, and their pretended love of the
Union during the war was more than
suspected to bo insincere and hypo
criticul ; but they kept prudently' si.
lent. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens was, to
best the of my knowledge, the only
leading man in the party shameless
and impudent enough to avow his hos
tility to the Union. He was not the
exponent of our views, and he repre%
sented not even a tractional part of
the honest millions who cast their
votes, spent their money, and shed
their Mood to bring-back the Govern
ment of their fathers. All this you
know. I write now to tell you what I
know concerning the personal senti
ments of Mr. Lincoln himself, and I
claim now to be the same kind of a
Republican that I was when I voted
for him at his first and second election.
I was his partner in the practice of
law for a number of years. I came here
with him as his special friond,and was
Jlarshal of this district during the
whole of his administration. Down to
the day of his death I was in the most
confidential and intimate relations
with him. I knew him as well as one
man can bo known to another. I had
many and free conversations with him
on this very subject of reconstruction:
I was made entirely certain by his
own repeated declarations to me that
ho would exert all his authority, pow
er, and influence to bring about an
immediate reconciliation between the
two sections of the country. As far as
depended upon him, he would have
had the Southern States represented
in both Houses of Congress within the
shortest possible time. All the ener
gies of his nature were given to a vig
orous prosecution of the war while the
Rebellion lasted, but ho was equally
determined upon a vigorous prosccus
tion of peace, as soon as armed hostili
ty should be ended. He knew the
base designs of the radicals to keep up
the strife for -their own advantage,and
ho was determined to thwart them.
As he himself told me very often, if
any corroboration of this statement is
needed, it may be found in the fact
that the.ultra abolitionists had actual
ly begun the outcry against him before
his death, and the moderato men
everywhere, North and South, sincere
ly mourned his fall as a calamity which
deprived them of their best friend. If
that inscrutable Providence, whose
ways are past finding out, had per
mitted his life to continue until this
time, there can be no doubt that the
Northern disunionists would now be
as loud in their denunciation of his
policy as they are of yours. Mr. Ste
vens' demand for the head of "that
man at the other end of the avenue"
would have not been ono whit less
foreocious. Of course he could not and
did not anticipate tho precise shapd of
the measures which the radicals might
adopt to prevent reconstruction. The
Freedmen's Bureau bill, which recent
cently met its death at your- hands,
was not born in his lifetime; but I
pronounce it a foul slander upon his
memory to assert that ho would have
signed a bill so palpably in conflict
with the ConAitution and so plainly
intended to promote the one bad pur
pose of perpetual disunion.
1 did love Mr. Lincoln with a sin
cere and faithful affection, and my re•
verence for his memory is intensified
by the horrible circumstances under
which his high career was closed. Now
that death has disarmed him of the
power to defend hiMself, his true
friends should stand forth to vindicate
his good name. If there be any insult

GRAFTING.
Fwory farmer should learn to do his
own grafting. It is a very easy opc
ration when once undestood. A sharp
penknife and a good fine saw aro indis
pensable. Splitting the stock so that
the bark shall not bo bruised—and
shaping the scion wedge fashion both
ways, preserving also the uninjured—
and placing the rim of the wood of both
stock and scion exactly together, so
that the sap can intermingle—there is
no danger of failure, if properly wax
ed. We make a shoulder to the graft
and think it adds to the certainty of
success, though probably weankens it.
We prefer also two eyes•or buds to a
graft, and would rather have only one
than more than two. One year's wood
should always be used when it can be
obtained, as it is more certain to take
and grown more vigorously.
Wo wish to remind those about pre-
parino b grafting wax, that we have
found five, parts of rosin, one part of
beeswax, and one part of tallow, to be
the best proportions. Melt them in a.
skillet, (which is the best,) or a tincup,
and mix wt3ll. ft should remain in the
vessel and used as needed. Twen
ty or thirty scions can be waxed with
one beating up. When much grafting
is to bo done, a fire for heating the
wax should be made on the Spot, be
tween two bricks or stornes.--(lerntha•

Southern States now in revolt against
the constitutional Government and in
arms around the Capitol; that in this
national emergency Congress, banish.-
ing all feelings of more passion or re
sentment, will recollect only its duty
to the whole country, that this war is
net prosecuted on our part in any spir
it of oppression, nor for any purpose
of conquest or subjugation, nor pur—
pose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institu•
tions of those States; but to defend
and maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution and laws made in pursu
ance thereof, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignity, equality and
rights of the several States unimpair
ed. As soon as these objects are ac
complished the war ought to ceas3.
Whereas, These resolutions, though
not joint or concurrent in form, Are
substantially identical, and as such
may be regarded as having expressed
the sense of Congress upon the subject
to which they relate; and
Whereas, By my proclamation of
the 13th day of Tune last, the insurrec
tion in the State of Tennessee was de.
Oared to have been suppressed, the
authority of the United States therein
to be: undisputed, and such United
States officers as had been duly com
missioned to be in the undisputed ex

•Whereas, There . ;now exists no or
ganized armed resistance of misguided
citizens or others to the authority of
the United States in the States of
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, gissiseippi::and
Florida, and the laws can be sustained
and enforced therein by the proper
civil authority, State or - Federal ; and
the people of the said States are well
and loyally disposed • and have confer.,
med,or will conform in their legislation,
to the condition of affairs growing oat
of the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States prohibiting sla
very within the limits and jurisdiction
of the United States; and,.
Whereas, In view of the before reci
ted premises, it is the manifest deter,
mination of the American people that
no State, of its own will, has the right
or the power to go out of Or separate
itself from, or be - separated from the.
Americdn Union, and that, therefore,,
each State ought to remain and cum,
stitute an integral part of the United
States; and
Whereas, The people of the several
before mentioned States have, in tbe.
manner aforesaid, given satisfactory.
evidence that they acquiesce in this,
sovereign and important revolution of
national unity; and
Whereas, It is believed to be a fun,
damental principle of government that
people who have revolted, and who
have been overcome and stWedo
must either be dealt with so tteoin
duce them voluntarily to • become
friends, or else they mutt be held by
absolute military power, or devastated
so as to prevent them from ever again
doing berm as enemies, which last
named policy is abhorrent to humanity
and freedom; and ,
Whereas The Constitution of 'the.
United States provides for .cOnstitti-,
tional communities only as States and
not as territories, dependencies, For,.
inces or protectorates; and, •
Whereas, Such constituent States
must necessarily be, and by the Oen.
stitution and laws of the United States,
a-re made equals and placed upon

munities ' dignity and power with
which they are united; and, •
Whereas, The oliservance of politi.„
cal equality as a principle of right and
justice is well calculated to encourage
the people of the aforesaid States' tot

Whereas, Standing armies, military

military law, military W.,
bunals and the suspension of the priv.

in time of peace, dangerous to public,
liberty, incompatible with the indlyid,

stitutions, and exhaustive of the nate,

to be sanctioned or allowed, except in

Now, therefore, I, ANDREW SOIINSON,
President of the United States, do here
by proclaim and declare that the ink

Done at the city of Washingtoo, thg
second day of April, in the year of oult
Lord ono thousand eight .hundred and
sixty-six, and of the independence of
the United States of America the
ninetieth. ANDREW JO/INBON,
By the President
'MuirAm If. SEWAitEI,
Seerethry of State,
It is among the reports from Wash
ington that Senator Sumner is prepar
ing to arraign the President for his
veto, on the ground of faithlegsness to
the principles of the Republicatiparty,
Considering how recently Mr. Sumner,
in the Senate, separated himself 'from,
his friends on a measure to which the
Republican party was quite as dies
tinctly committed as it was to the
Civil Rights Bill, such a proceeding to
say the least, would be not a little au
dacious. It is conceded that the Rep,
resentation and Suffrage amendment
would have passed but for Mr. Sumner'e
opposition, Tho violent and. Moor
lug character of that opposition is.
without a parallel. No ono questions
his right to separate_ himself from his
political friends ;.all will concede that
if he really felt the measure wail an
unwise or dangerous one it was his
duty to oppose it. But he should be
willing to concede the seine right to
the President in regard' to another
measure. He may criticise and con.
dcmn the grounds of the veto, but he
cannot with consistency assail the
President for separating himself from
his•pulitical friends, for the President
has done no more than the Senator him.
self did on n no less important measure,
And in regard to the Civil Rights Bill,
we find Mr. Bingham, one of the most
astute Republican members of the
House, opposing it as unconstitutional,
unwise and dangerous. We believe na
one has assailed him for apostasy;
That ho was not successful in his op
position does not alter his position—be
would have defeated the bill if be
could,
As Waring on the question of, party
fealty, we may instance the course of
Senator Trumbull, on the resolution to
unseat Senator Stockton. .Although
it had been agreed upon, and was as
much a party measure as anything
could be, and although it was baeked
by peculiar• reasons, and if carried
would tend to secure the Civil Rights
Bill (of which he was the author) irt
spite of the veto, Senator Trumbull
steadily refused to go with his politl ,
cal friends,and by snob refusal, op ths
first trial defeated the resolution,
No one' that we have hoard of has de,
nouneed him, or proposed to glass hint
with the Copperheads, for no ono sup.

he was before be separated birnsolf
