sance of the worst kind, and should be got rid
of,o •
Will you, Mr: Editor; do us the favor to
allow us tooffera few remarks about the lac,
tortes on this stream Y In the first place; we
owl. the property commencing at the Ridge
road land running beyond the first toll-gate ;
aLso.the factory and its privileges, situated on
theatidge road.' You say that we have built
a new dam and raised the water and filled up
part of the valley, and have also built a new
mill-race as wide as a canal. The new dam
we have built the past summer
in the same place as the . old dam,
which was washed away in 1863. There has
been a dam there for over sixty years, but be
ingwashed away and rebuilt, the flowage of
the Water has covered the bed of the • creek,
whieh,you say,destrbys all the beautiful scenery
that, formerly existed there. You certainly
could not have traveled this road ten years ago;
or you , would have seen the error of your
charges. , The mill-race has not been built the
past sunimer, but nearly 150 years.since. We
have built cleaned out and in some plates'
made wider, which we had to do to get the
bene.fiC•of the water flowing from the old or
upper 'dam to, the mill, .to keep a
constant supply of water for our motive
power, which is. water. You have made a
second mistake in this assertion. It' is true,
. we cut some trees of. our property to complete
the 'Wilding Of our new dam, for the reason
that, we could not get our timber through the
locks at Fairmount on account of the stoppage
of navigation'.. We waited for two weeks to
get it up before we cut any off our place,while
out-timber lay at Fairmount for over six weeks,
before the great freshet in October, and a
portion of it was washed away at that time.
There has not been a piece of timber cut down
on our property since September. We
gave Soule poor people permission to
pick 'up, all the old wood they. could
find that . had fallen on the ground, or the
branches that were of no use to us, which were
left . when we built our dam. If you
construe these old sticks, that are both dead
and:decayed, into cutting down the remainder
of tbe'trees left on the place, we have nothing
to sayagainst it, only that you have, made Er
ror lib. 3. ' We have no desire to throw any
impediment in the way of the Public Park •
Commission , towards beautifying' the public
property, and we feel safe in saying that in,
place of destroying its beautiful scenery, we
lime, by the improvements we have 'made in
our property, made it more beautiful than it
was. when owned by the Robesons, and the
old mill lay in ruins and the dams-washed away.
But atthe Same time we claim we bad a per
fect right to do all the acts of which you com
plain, so long as we are vested with the title
in fee. The mills on this stream are beneficial
to a large niunber of persons. There are em
ployed in all the mills, as near as we can form
a correct estimate, from the Ridge road to
Thorp's lane, on the Wissahickon, abbot eigh
teen hundredi operatives. The products of
these mills are diversified, but they will aggre
gate' at least an amoral product of three mil
bona of dollars ; and at one fell swoop they must
all 'perish. The Rittenhouse, mill, of which
you are so vindictive, is not a shoddy rnill,• ; l,ut
a mill for the manufacture of blankets, and the
waste of Which you complain, is nailing . 'but
what there is at any woolen mill: If they pet
it in the road, and maintain a nuisance, as you
say, send out the Board of Health to hue it
remedied, and do not-impose the expense on
the city Of having this property, purchased be
muse it is offensive to the smell.
Again, you would have all the old shanties
razed to the ground, because they do not meet
with your architectural views, and would tend
to beautify the Park. These cottages are in
habited by a class of people who have made
our city what she . ought to be proud ofthe
greatest manufacturing city on this continent.
And yet all this must be sacrificed for the
Park extension—the manufactUrers, who have
been years in completing their improvements
to establish a business, and the laborer from
the home of his childhood. To the former
you can give pecuniary compensation, hut
there is something about the latter that is fas
cinating, and no pecuniary compensation is
sufficient to recompense_ them for their once
happy home err the banks of the Wissa
hickon. To these people we should look,
and not turn them out in the wide world
without work and without a home. In con
clusion, you say that the persons, whoever
they' be, who have been guilty of doing
what we acknowledge we have done, should
• feel it in their pockets, the only place where
such persons can feel. If the property we own
should be taken for Park purposes, we expect
to get fall vatic for it, and no more. We have
not 'the least doubt the Commissioners a ill
grant it. doirx AND JAMES DOBSON.
The Future Possessors of India.
Since the " twenty-four kings" of LeAdenhall
street, better known to the world as the East
India Company, obtained their first charter
froin " Good queen Bess," wondrous changes
have occurred in the peninsula to which they
then went as humble merchants. How, by
policy not always of the most honest de
scription, coupled with much military skill and
that bull-dog perseverance which ever dis
tinguishes the Anglo-Saxon race, they gradu
.afiy rose to the rank of monarchs over one
hundred and eighty millions of the human
race, are matters of history known to every
school-boy. .• • •
Al about the period of their first adVent,
and when those dissensions which in the end
shock the fabric of the old empire of. Shah
Baber to atoms were gaining strength through
out the length and breadth of the land, there
appeared in the "Punjab" or ." Land of the
Five Rivers," a religious innovator of Hindoo
race, named Nimak, of humble parentage and
inferior caste. This son of a grain-seller un
dertook to subvert the two dominant creeds of
Ilindoostan, and, by an amalgamation of the
Ilindoo and Mohammedan religions, to unite
all in one bond of religious brotherhood.
Preaching a religion of peace and love, while
be admitted the unity of God, he set his face
against castes, idolatry and the` earful rite of
"Suttee," and at length died, undisturbed by
the governing Mussulman race, and bequeath
ing the new faith to many proselytes, On whom
be had bestowed the appellation of Sikhs" or
The spirit, of Nanak was bold by the Sikhs to

THE SIKHS.
The growing numbers of these religionists
bad at - length attracted the attention of ~the ru
lers of Delhi, and every speCies of cruelty and
oppreasion bad been brought to bear on those
who still adhered to "Sikhism," until Govind
professed inspiration, gave Irki book; knoviii as

lowest castes of HindoOlsm to the warrior: and
heroic race they are at this.day.
Lions or " Singhe was henceforth - their
titles. Steel.waa ever to be borne on their Pe
rsons, blue was to be the color of their vest
ments, their hair was, to remain unshorn from
the day of their birth to the moment of their
death. The Sikh who slew a Mohammedan
was sure of futare happiness
Slowly but surely, and ever sword in hand
often baffled and, defeated, but never dis
conraged—theY gradually mastered the whole
of the Punjab, and their twelve " misuls," or
chiefships, were a terror to the decrepit and
crumbling Mogul empire,. when, towards -the
close of the last century,. a 'great man arose
among them, and by degrees brought all the
disciples, of Govind under one sceptre."
'This was Ittinjit Singh, the one-eyed "Lion"
of the Punjab; and under his auspices the
Sikh's were broken in to European discipline;
the names of their military instructors,,Court,
Avitabile and Mouton, mostly officers
of the great Napoleon,' are household words to
this day from Kashmir to Mooltan.
Astute and able, Runjit carefully avoided af
fording any pretext for aresSion to his pow
erful neighbors, the British, whose territories
now extended to the "Satledj," and during his
longlife the most amicable relations prevailed.
On one occasion the English Governor-Gene
ral, Lord Auckland, came in state to visit the
old "Maharajah," and among other presents
offered a magnificent map of Hindostan. The
old King glanced at the map, and then.inquired
the meaning of the various colors indicating,
territorial division, and on heing informed that
the predominant color, red, marked the British
possessions, be turned away with a sigh, and
the remark, "Sub lal, hojawega"—"All will
become red."
Tco truthful were his previsions. No sooner
bad death closed his eyes, than his troops,
freed from the contrOl , of the master-haul
which had so long curbed them, gave way to
the most violent excesses, surpassing even the
iniquities of the Praetorian Guards of Ancient
Rome. They elected a chief one day 'and
massacred him the next, until almost all the
old " Sit dars" of Runjit Singh had come to a
bloody end ; arar the "Maharani;" the de
ceased Lion's widow,
saw no means to save
herself and her infant son, Dhalip Singh, from
the, unruly and licentious soldiery save by in
citing thein insidiously to cross the Satledj and
invade the British territory.
In December, 1845, they burst like an ava
lanche over the frontier, and in the first fights
of liloodkee and Feruzshah had decidedly the
hest of the' British, who were, nevertheless,
commanded by Lord Hardinge, a one-armed
Peninsular soldier, and one of the Duke of
Wellington's most favorite lieutenants. Never
since Waterloo had so many British general
officers and soldiers strewed a battle-field;
great was the consternation, and the Moham
medan malcontents, who had so long fretted
beneath the rule of the hated Feringee,-began
to raise their heads, , and to matter that the
Company's " Bar was nearing its close. So
great had the shock been that the British
army had found it barely possible to preServe
its position at Subrahan or Hari Ki Patan, - in
front of the entrenched camp of the Sikhs
pending the arrival of reinforcements, which
did not reach their destination for many
weeks.
Even then, when crushed by an overwhelm
ing artillery, betrayed by those chiefs who
were in the Maharani's pay and confidence,
and attacked by the best soldiers of England—
the sons of Govind still resisted to the last,and
when the young levies and their perfidious
leaders bad made their way safely across—all
the veterans, some fifteen thousand hi num
ber, died where they stood, and crimsoned the
river waters with their blood, rather than ask
for quarter from the first enemy who had ever
routed them. That enemy had not come off
scatheless from the first encounter-4he victory
had only been earned at the cost of some five
thousand of their best and bravest.
Lahore and its dependencies became British,
and thousands of Sikhs took service with their
conquerors. Peace prevailed during nearly
three years, but at lengtli in 1848, the standard
of revolt was raised by two great Sikh chief
tains of ancient blood, and again the British
possessions trembled in the balance when the
red-coated troopS staggered back exhausted on
the fields of Chlilianwallah and Bamnugg,ur ;
but internal dissensions and jealousies once
more gave the whites time to obtain overpow
ering reinforcements and the Punjab was
filially subdued on the plains of G'oojrat, A. D.
12'49.
A wise and able Governor, the late Sir Henry
Lawrence, was, appointed to the new territory
—taxes of the ; lightest, in comparison to those
borne by the other dwellers, in Hindostan,
were laid on the new subjects; many new
regiments were raised, and stringent regula
tions prevented the violation of their religious
opinions and prejudices.
Still those who knew them best were inclined
to doubt the permanence of a peaceful and
settled rule directed by aliens in blood, color
and religion, and no British officer attached to
any of the Sikh battalions, which now wore
the red uniform, could fail to hear from his
tent during the watches of the night those
stirring words from the old book of " Gooroo
Govind," which tells these men, of a compara
tively wing religion, that their destiny is to
rule the universe.
"First (says Govind) Nanak went to Mecca!"
" btedinah he likewise - visited!"
" When he was about to return,
" lieroon, the fortunate, thus spoke to him :
" NOW, thou are about to go,
But when wilt thou return?
' Then the Reese* answered him :
' When I shall put on my lentht dress
I shall be called Gooroo Govind Singh,
Then all the ' Sikhs' shall be ealledA Singhs.
'They shall wear their hair ;
They shall he clad in vestments of blue;
' They shall ever carry steel ;
They shall slay the Mahommedau dogs I
the Punjab shall be the land of the
Sikhs,
Afghanistan and Toorkestan shall be theirs;
Khorassati and Tran shall lie low,
Arabia and Stambol shall fall ;
teen shall be beheld,
' And Medinah shall be visited!
" And all the u orld shall cry :
" W ab! Goorooji 'Kt fault!'
" The Si nghs shall tread on all heads,
"And shall how the knee to none!"
The Mohammedans, who had governed
India since the days of the Caliph Walid, had
pined in bitterness of heart and hate for nearly
a century, ever waiting for an opportunity, of
casting, off the yoke of these who, however well
they might rule, could never cease to be in the
eyes of a true son of Islam aught'but vile and
detestable infidels. Partial revolts had at
various times been unsparingly punished, and
it was not until the spring of 1857, at a time
when the British were especially jubilant on
the bright and unclonded aspect of their politi
cal sky, that the great conspiracy and mutiny,
which had been hatching for fully thirty years,
broke out and overwhelmed India and Eng
land for a lengthened period in blood and,
glcom. Not a doubt now exists that the origin
of the mutiny was strictly Mohammedan, and
that the high caste 'Endo() "Sepabis" were
rather induced to join in it by the bait of
wealth and plunder—inducements which no
Hindoo could ever resist—than by any ani
mosity against a government which had be
haved towards them with far more even
handed justice than those very Mussulmans in
whose company they now rebelled and com
mitted every species of atrocity.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PRILADELPIIIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1870.
.Agra and Lucknow, were entirely in the
hands of the insurgents; help could not.be ex
petted speedily from Europe; , lukewarm ad
herents daily fell away, and'Calcutta itself was
irk derigei. Then up rose tough John Law-'
renee, now ennobled by the British Queen, to
revenge his brother, Sir Henry, 'who had fallen;
s*ord in:band, at Lucknow ; and through the
length and breadth of the Laud Of the Five
Rivers, his emissaries went;forth, - cidling his
old enemies, the " Sikhs," to gibrphinder
:der the British flag and to 'wreak that venge
ance on their former oppressors, the Idoham
medans,, which had remained due since the
great Goorma of the Sikhs, Bundab, had been
compelled to cut his own son's, throat, and had
then been put to death with horrid tortures by
a Mohammedan King in Delhi.
Sikh priests, as is strongly suspected, in
British pay; discovered someverses which were
attributed to Govind :
" The Singhs (said these lines) shall go to Delhi
By the side of the white faces,
And in the court of the King's palace!
'Where good Bundah was hanged and maimed
There shall hang the sons of the King of Delhi I' ,
,The whole. Punjab moved towards Delhi,
and the astute policy of Lawrence having
enlisted both the cupidity and fanaticism of the
Sikhs in favor of the tense he represented, they
Warp. held firm to the cause by these ties until
large numbers of troops arrived from Englimd,
and the mutiny was literally stamped out in
blood and ashes.
'Since that period it, has ever been a grave
and momentous question, much troubling
British statesmen, to know how to dispose of
the vast number of Sikh soldiers who, if not
actually in uniform, are to found behind every
plough and in every street.. These men still
have a thorough and earnest conviction that,
they will some day be, masters of the entire
surface of the world, and it is not, probable
that with such a belief they will long consent
to remain subject to a foreign race.
The great mass of the Hindoo population are
utterly destitute of patriotism. They have al
ways been accustomed to submit to the strong
est, and to look on almost with indifference
while rivals struggled for the mastery
and government of the country,
and so it will be to the end of
time, we fully believe ; but in the eventuality
of a rising of the Sikhs, we have no doubt that
the Mussulma,ns would throw aside religious
hatred and become the tools of their whilom
foes in order to eject the English. Should such
a c,oalition occur, nothing could preserve, the
dominion of British India in its present bands.
It has long been a s saying among the natives
that, they could smother all the English without
fighting, if each were simply to take oil' his
" pagri' or turban and throw it on the
"Feringis." And no amount of valor and skill
would avail,the foreigners were all the warrior
races of Hind to unite against them.'

The Annexation of Nan Domingo.
A Washington 'despatch of the 9th says :
The treaty for the annexation of San Do
mingo to the United States was negotiated by
President Baez and our commercial agent, Mr.
Perry, at the city of San Domingo. This
treaty, with a secret message of the President
of the United States, will be sent to the Senate
to-morrow. Of the truth of this statement
there is no doubt. The governing motives for
the acquisition of San Domingo is its ger);
graphical position to this country as a means
Of national defence, as well as its general mari
time advantages, and hence, as a preliminary,
the lease of Samaria was effected, and the.t
riSdiction of the United States established over
that part of the territory of San Domingo.
Several Senatorsi who are cognizant of the
particulars of the negotiation, privately assert
that San Domingo is of as much importance
to us as the island of Cuba, if not more; and
that the acquisition of the One will more easily
lead to the possession of the other. It may be
that the President of the United States, in
his message recommending the ratification of
the treaty, will briefly state his reasons for the
negotiation. It is certain, however,that he has
stated them to some of his most intimate politi
cal fri(Mds. Although the text of the treaty can
not now be publicly made known, there is no
doubt that it contains the following proposi
tions, namely :
1. The United States stipulates to pay the
sum of $1,500,000.
2. This money is to be devoted , to the
liquidation of all the obligations of the Re
public of San Domingo, including the redemp
tion of its currency, which is represented to
be of comparatively small amount.
3. In ease the obligations to be assumed by
the ,Vnited States shall exceed the before
mentioned sum of $4600,000, the public lands
of San Domingo are pledged as security for
the excess.
4. The liquidation of the obligations is to be
intrusted to commissioners, one to be ap-
J?ointed by each of the contracting parties.
5. In consideration of the discharge of these
obligations, San Domingo cedes to the United
States all forts, docks, custom-houses,• and all
other public buildings, arsenals, &c., and coui
plete jurisdiction over the territory. '
Sau.Domingo to be annexed' or acquired
• .

"OLD MOSCOW, THE irshmgett.-
Particulars of His Eveutfal Eire end
His Ethanlsm Death.
[Front the St. Paul Pioneer, Jan. 41 •
Victor Dann, ornsore familiarly known', by"
many of the reSidents. of .Stillwater as " Old
Moscow," the subject of this sketch, was by
birth a Russian, havinarbeen horn in the year
1108, near the river Moskwa, in the vicinity of
the city of Moscow. In 1812, being then a
boy 18 years of age, he was conscripted and'
forced into the RusSian army, then actively en
gaged fighting the legions of Napoleon; he
was present and took part in the battle of Bo
rodino and afterward fought the French as the
latter advanced toward the. Russian capital..
Ile witnessed the cOnflagration of Mose.ow and
followed the eagles of the French in their dis
astrous retreat toward the Niemen. It was a
favorite theme for the old man to describe the
scene he underwent during that terrible cam
paign ; how, morning' after morning, the
French soldiers would be found dead about the
hivduac fire, lying in the position in which the
sleep of death overtook them during the night.
A cross of the Legion of Honor taken by him
from the dead body of a French officer at the
crossing of the River Beresina the old man
was in the habit of exhibiting, and while look
ing at it would exclaim :—" How I did pity the
poor French!" He used . to say winter came
on early that year (in October) as a punishment
to Bonaparte: Leaving the army after the
captivity of the French Emperor, Victor came
to Quebec, and afterward was for many years
in the service of the Hudson Bav Company.
Some twenty years ago he came to Stillwater,
where he used to fit out each winter for his
trapping expeditions on the head - waters 'of the
Saint Croix. and Chippewa rivers. It was a
singular sight to see the old man as he was on
the point of starting out in the fall to his win
ter quarters. With his uncouth-looking little
trade laden with traps, kettles, cooking uten
sils and other camping apparatus, until scarcely
any mule but ears was visible, followed by
the old pointer dog, Moses, in single file, this
strange retinue would take up the line of
march, to be seen no' more until the melting of
the snows in the spring. In the early part of
the present winter the spot selected by the old
trapper for his winter's abode was on the
borders of a small stream known as Trade
river, a tributary of.the tipper St. • Croix, and
it proved "the last earthly habitation " he
would ever require. . Recently an exploring
party in that vicinity were attracted to the hut
by the mournful howling of a dog. Guided by
the sound, their steps were directed to• the
little cabin, where a strange, sad sight met
their gaze.. Near the entrance stood a dimin
utive mule, nearly dead with hunger. Beside
him sa', the dog; who, on the. approach of the
men, ran into the cabin as though to apprise
his master that help was near. But no earthly
assistance could avail his master. Sitting in a
corner, rigid in death, was poor old Victor ; he
bad evidently died very suddenly, as in his
right hand he held a large clasp-knife, while
across his knees partially finished lay agifrod.
His gun, with the ramrod broken, stood near
him; at his feet lay a trap with an otter held
in it.
Placing the body upon the lied and arrang
ing it as decently as circumstances would
admit for burial, a careful examination of the
clothing and eflect.4 was made, resulting in
finding memoranda of his age, place of birth,
religion (which was Catholic), together with
a statement to the effect that he bad a sum of
money concealed, and in case of his death,
whoever should take care of him during his
sickness or find his body after death, should
get the money, use a sufficient sum to give
his body proper burial, and retain the balance.
That as he had spent his life in the
forest, be wished to lie there after
death. Attached to a rosnu about
his neck was found the "Cross of the Legion
of Honor," so long worn by the old soldier in
remembrance of the bloody days subsequent to
the burning of Moscow. On examination of
the place designated in the memoranduni, a
sum of money in gold was found, how much is
not known; it is presumed a considerable
amount. The body lies buried near the old
pine tree at the crossing of the Trade river.
many miles from the exciting scenes of his early
life. The two faithful companions who shared
his wanderings are • properly cared for, and
many of those who in times past have listened
to the old man as he grew eloquent when re
counting his past history, will learn with regret
the sad termination of the lonely life of "Old
Moscow, the trapper."
