The Montreal (...;o7xtte says : "Since the4par

has always peen one among the many \
troubles of the British and Vi 'ce-rega overn
maids. It has been felt that it wo be im
possible, to defend •so vast a to ritory by
the troops of the regular English
forces. The , men who used to
be called sepo,)B have, therefore,
been reorganized into a body whose constitif

one. But the distrust which is almost un

to understand pretty . plainly,lhat nothing but
the most urgent necessity would induce the
government to order 'them for service in the
" And that this reSax ,unmean
ing one has been proved by the fact that the
some-time sepoys have been armed'with no
v. - capons of more modern date than the old
percussion pattern musket. Of late, it is true,
the experiment has been tried or 'furnishing
Snider rifles to certain corps, but what has
bi:.en done in this direction has been done in
sucli_„a, cautious, tentative and suspicious
manner that the resentment of the na
tive military has been roused.. The Hindpo is,a rather dangerons custumer platy, tricks_

by the exercise of considerable tact, he may
be induced to obey discipline from a feeling

him" immediate...4v-- The vague Na
, tive7. ---I whom the cerulean Major Josh
Bagstock was accustomed to use in
such an exceedingly barbarous manner, add
whose life was uncomplainingly passed in a
perfect hail of hair bruSlies bootjacks and
,other ~mailer artioles appertaining to the toi
let apparatus of his master, is by no means a
type of the natives of Bindostan. One of the
great mistakes which British officers made
previous to 1857, and which they still make
to a -certain extent, was in carry
ing their " hrfw haw'.' 'Pall • Mall
manner among the population of the coun
try in which they were stationed. The phleg
matic men of the northern nations, the Eng
lish. the Germans, and especially the lower
class of Russians, will endure without any
material anger, a vast amount of abuse and
even of personal ill-wage. But the people of
the southern nations are far less ready to sub
mit to insult, much less 'to physical injury.
"As great as is the elitierence between' the
passion of the implacable Spaniard and of the
Norseman is the dillerence - betweeti the ven
geance which the Asiatic takes and that which
satistieS the most murderously-minded Euro
pean. Horrible as are the outrages of the
Grecian brigands, they a* . e completely trans
cended by the diabolical ruffians of Tien-Tsin.
the horrors of the great French Revolution
pale before the dreadful massacres of Cawn-'
pore. The Hindoo, horn in the cradle of the
world's civtlization,otiornbines an intellect &
the highest order, lattilt - though it be now,
with the worst qualities Of all Pandemonium,
" And to this magazinhof evil passions the
Ariglo-Srixeris are coutiffiially
match. The natives are first tyrann-Pie-d—rsvp
in a fitful, not ill-natured manner, and then
carelessly left to their own devices, to plot
and plan a dreadful retribution : to devise the
.
most awful outrages ; to prepare, with aucia z-
Hag talent and ' unparalleled fiendishnes3, a
Urine whickshall not only blow world of
their rulers to aterrus,ohutwhich shall inflict
the greatest pbssible amount of individual
agony upon the sufferers.
i " Again,
.the same blunders have produced
indications of the possibility of the same re
; suit as thirteen year's ago. At Simla., a num
' her of Men have been arrested for complicity
in a plot to murder the Governor-General and
his councillors, and these men appear to
: belong to an organization whose spread
would seem to be almost co-exten
' sivit with the° limits of India itself. At
Iloorlde, also, the springs of rebellion mani
fest themselves, and the association .of the
Wahabees has for some time past been in
triguing among the natives to endeavor to,
produce a resistance to the increase of the in
come tax, which has become necessary on ac
count of the inundations, Pestilenees ante
famines which have been so disastrously com
mon diving the last few years in Bengal atid
the Northwek provinces.
" But, most serious sign of all, disaffection
has manifested itself among the quondam Se
poys. Allahabad. the nearest station to Mee
rut and Cawupore, has becOme more and
more unhealthy yearly of,late, and the British
garrison has been consequently reduced to a
minimum. Control being removed, • the
agents of the secret societies have become
martelously active among the native re
giments, and at last Mutiny has
.openly
broken out. The ostensible. cause, for
Ilindoos ahvays place — some . reason
foreign from the true one upon their actions,
is the execution of one of theit comrades for
gross insubordination, and the entire reg,ithent
has laid .down its arms. The action, had
though it; is, is • unimportant in, appearance,
but in reality is much More seridus than it
seems on the face. The revolutionary move
ment. must have gainetconsiderable strength
when the Brahmins, 1 o control everything
of the kind, would all -an open demonstra
i
tion to be made by the soldiers.
. " Movements of the saute kind, presage of
the voming storm, were apparent shortly. be=
fore
fore the outbreak of '57. Then they were
treated with careless indifference. The
'English authorities would not believe that
there was any danger until the hurricane was
upon them. Let us trust they may have
learned wisdom by bitter experience anclthat
the first symptoms of intention to rise on the
part of' the natives may be put down with
the strong band, and the conspiracy sifted to
its core. Let the Bralmnina once see that their
enterprise hOlopeless, and they are prudent
and wise enough not to attempt it; but once
give them the idea that there is any want. f
ptepatation and the mine will be sprung, and
the Ilritish power scattered to theXottr .winds
of heaven.,

A CHAT ABOIIT tIBdIY AL FARimaur
Interesting Reminiscences of.ffis Life.
In the cerise of an article on the late
Admiral, contributed - to the Christian anion,
the Rev. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson Says -
" One could not be long in company with
Admiral Farragut without being charmed
`-with his simplicity. At seventy, the hero of
recent naval warfare, the head of the navy of
his country, • the first in an Ndlice
expressly for ills promotion, • the
honored and flattered guest of the
civifted world, be yet retained the freshness
and simplicity of character with whickhe en
tered the service more than fifty years ago.
He had the affection of a boy for his tutor and
the companion of his early isiyages—Mr.
Charles Folsom, of Cambridge, and the en
thusiasm of a boy for the friends, places and
. incidents that had given zest to his experi
epee astemidshipman,
"Hearng him speak of a visit to the ruins
of Carthage, I called at his house with a copy
of Davie's work ; and it was refreshing to see
the gush of delight with which he identified
places and. -monuments ' that he had not
seen for half a century, and to hear
his animated- story of his own adven
tures. By way of reciprocity he then
gave his attention to my juvenile companion;
and as the Admiral brought out for his enter
tainment the choice stores of his portfolios,
views of foreign travel and gifts of friends
abroad, he seemed even more the bay than
-the, youth who drank in all so eagerly, but
could not forgetcin. whose presence he was.
, " There was not in him one , trace of vanity
-of-that egotism which. forever`magnifies it--
'Welf,-Which keeps self,:always first in its-owe
thought, and exacts the 'homage ofall around.
And yet the Admiral was thoroughly appre- •
(ative of the good -will' of his conntry-
Men, .and as sensitive- as a enil i d- to their
marks of approbation. He 'was really charm
ing to look upon . as, he _received' -the ap
plause of a dinner company ; his manly face
beaming with pleasure, his tongue confused.
with the attempt"to speak, his lips answering
- by smiles for words, yet "with no trick Or taint
of ostentation—just a hearty, simple. sympa
thetic pleasure with himself and everybody
else, because he hadoSotnehaw done something
that pleased other people. Once at a public
dinner, as he saw the. toast, ." To
our Navy," bearing . down like
saucy corvette and pouring broadsides
of compliments, he whispered, Now in
a minute they'll set me up in the main-top

sently the chairman reached the culminating
point of his own eloquence, with the hero
of Mobile lashing himself to the main
top and sailing into the belching flames,
&c., &c.;' and amid thunders of applause,'
the Adiniral rose and hawed, and beamed
forth his contagious smiles till the whole corn--
.pany felt jolly as a mess on furlough; then_
said a few simple, honest, manly words about.
thenavy,- his cddieers,and hiss:nen, and looked
,-
so happy as lie received the vociferous greet
ings of the assembly that the irnpression upon
all was that of a brave, simple, true man,
whose heart was as open as it was brave.
" When he sat down hesaid to me, I can
not understand why they make so much of my
going.up Unto the main-top. It was nothing
special that I did at Mobile, and 1' was not,
lashed thereat all. When going into action,
or in anytini eel . _ _danger-, al ways-Avent- -up -
th - erejecause I felt it My duty to be where 1
NCould overlook. everything in person and be

of sharing their risks.
" At that same dinner, taking in his band a
glass of Wine, he said to me : The wino goes
round pretty freely to-night. .1 take a glass at
my slimier : but when lam on duty, and es
vcially when going into action, I never allow
myself to take a drop of any kind of stimu
lant. For when my coutitr,y has trusted me
with the grave responsibilities, I could not
bear the thought of doing anything that might
lead me to distrust myself, or might shako the
confidence of officers and men in my com
mand. To dO my duty, I must respect my
self.'
T.T . pon another occasion, when the talk
turned upon iron and wooden ships of war,
the Admiral said he never could bear the
thought of shutting men up in a monitor ; it
took away their spirit to feel that they were
cooped up in a coffin ; a sailor loves a free
fight. then as to wood or iron, it doesn't
matter; it is the men that make the ship ; only
give me men that I know and that know me,
and I would as lief go into battle in wood as 1
would in iron.' This showed a knowledge
both of human nature and of the elenients of
courage.'

Fresh Facts in Relation to the Captivity
of the French Monarch---The Tram
' About'the "Attempted Assassination."
INV ilhelinshohe (Sept. IS) Correspondence of the London
After twodays! stay at the Grand _Hotel
Schombardt, Princess Mary of Baden, Duchess
of Hamilton, whose arrival at Wilhelmshohe
I announced in my last letter, left us again on
Thursday on her way for FrankfOrt. She
spent a good deal of her time at the .11.1 ace
and was the Emperor's guest at dinner on
both days. In attendance upon her were
Herr von LeoprOliting and Fraulein von
Cohansen.
The hospitality once shown to Prince Louis
Napoleon in England seems likely to be re
peated toward the dethroned Napoleon 111.,
fur the Duchess had hardly departed when
Lady Cowley arrived. It is a touching proof
of the fact tlfat the esteem which Lord Cowley
enjoyed for so Many years at the Tuileries as
the Ambassador of the Court of St. James,and
the eloseTriendship whi clAco nsequently sprang
up between his own and the Imperial
family, have not vanished or been ob
literated by the misfortune which has now
befallen the Napoleonic nynasty. In her
emergency the Empress Eugenic appeals to
the friendship of Lady Cowley, and the latter
consents at once to, be a messenger between
the wife abet the'litiebtinil,So distant from each
other. As I communicated to you by tele
graph, the Countess came early in the morn
ing, and, having, alighted at the hotel, she
went at once ou her mission to Napoleon.
What a heart-stirring meeting it must have
been ! After remaining at the palace for sev
eral days,,her Ladyship returned to the hotel,
and, hating partaken of a hurried dinner, re
turned on her noble errand by the Frankfort
train, unmindful of the fatigues of a weari-
Seine journey. •
I hate seen an account in several paperx.re
lilting to a young man having been arrested
by the police on the 12th inst., at AVilhelms
hobe, whose object juld been the aSsassina
lion of ,Napoleon. Upon inquiries I.institutod
I calf give you the following, on good autho
rity, as the truth: A youth of Berlin, having
-embezzled some money belonging to his mas
ter, had been traced to Cassel, and after some
resiAance 'on his part, he was taken into cus,
tody at Wilhehnshohe, whither he had
strolled to have a glimpse at the Imperial
)risoner.. For some reason or other he had
!ought a pocket pistol in Cassel, which was
found upon him when arrested, and from this
circumstance people, in war-timo always too
prone to exaggeration; inferred. the crime
nuputed to him. •
• As to the present life of the Emperor, it is
marked by the same uniformity I have men
tioned alteady in a former letter. He is tak
ifigrbis regular walk in the :close vicinity of
the Palace. Only mice last week he had a two
hours' drive by a road loading throUgh the
neighboring villages Kirchditmold and Hari es
hamen, returning by way of the Rasen-Alloe,
a road formerly kept for the exclusive use of the
Elector, and conuectinetiVilhelmshoho with
the henting-castle Wilhelnakhal, dye Miles

all of them being French, taimbaud,mounted

A DOERTIFVL STORY.
Napoleon a Poor Man
— The Times makes 1110 following - Very note
.worthy statement respecting the " large for
tittle" which the Emperor . Napoleon is sup
posed to have accumulated during his reign
Unless we are misinformed, the Emperor
'Napoleon, who has been the Chief of the
French State for nearly twenty-two years„ and
its almost absolute master for nearly eighteen,
retains no private property but a small cot
tage, which came to him from his mother.
Call it: rashness, call it overweening
confidence, or call it. a generous reek
lessifess; it is proved by the event that lie did
not devote his reign_to the accumulation of
money: Whatever he has received from.
France ha-has spent in the country, in ac
cordance with - the. social system which was
established with - the-empire.-That system-was
no doubt extravagabt in. the extreme. No
contemporarysovereign has held such a court.
The Czar, who owns vast domains as his pri
vate 'property, besides ignoring the limitations
of a civil. - list in dealing - with the public
treasury, cctuld not' maintain such splendor.
The Sultan may squander his millions, but his
oriental magnificence has been mere shabbiness
by the side of Paris. What our own court is
we all see, and, as we know its cost, we may,
when we compare it with that of .the French
Emperor, form somb judginent of his ex,
penses. Napoleon 111. will leave his German
place of captivity at the end ci`f the war almost
as poor a man as he was when he entered
France in .1848. The Empress has indeed,
her jewels, gifts at her marriage and on her
fe:te, days; but these are her private property,
the State jewels being now in the hands of the,
French Government at Tours, She has,. be
sides; an hereditary property in Spain, and
the Prince Imperial has a house which, has
been bequeathed to him, near Trieste. This,
we believe, is all that remains to the family
which lately Were supreme in France.

The folldwing . .is a translation of a private
letter received in New York from a noted
Fr etich'author:
Barr. 7, 1870.—When your letter reached
me our misfortunes had begun, and since then
they have only increased and multiplied. The
enemy is at Paris.
Your press is very m i alevolent towards us,
which grieves me, toryour opinion in the
world counts for something. We hoped other
things of you. France aided your, country at
its birth, while Prussia never did anything for
you. Our government certainly appears to be
the aggressor—all was badly prep:Eß . 3d and
badly managed t its impudence has brought
frightful calamities on us, and it deserves its
fall; but the real aggressor is he who
renders war inevitable.. We had but
300,000 soldiers, while Prussia had 1,100;000.
If you see four guns leveled at you, you
have a right to tire your own, and especially
when a fifth is brought to bear, which was
the manifest intention of Prussia through her
candidate for the Spanish throne. King Wil
liam and M. de Bismarck,with th'eir enormous
arniy, the fanaticism of their subjects, their
invasions and their : 'violent proceedings;'are
now playing the part of Napoleon I. in Eu
rope ; a detestable part to play, and which may
seine d ay end with them, as with Napoleon,in
a unglity downfall, when Europe shall get to
racogpi zi lig. as in 1615, that an ambitions, ty
rannical and preponderating poWer is the com
mon enemy.
The folly of our rulers is indescribable. They
were ignorant of everything. They had no idea
of the number of the Prussian soldiery,th cam
dition and preparation of theirimmense army,
nor of the national pasidon of theoGermans.
The Germans,..indeed. are more exalted than
the French of 1807. They regard themselves
as the chosen people, the privileged and su
perior race ; for fifty years past - their pro
fessors and savans have preached up to
them this 'indomitable and inhuman pride.
Through a monstrous medley ot' things it has
. beconieluilltiweiri and tny believe themselves
delegated from on high to rule Europe they
call it " the historic Mission of Germany," a
mission assigned to them, they say, because
they are "more yirtuons." . You cannot im
agine to what degree they milk ouceive and
revile French society:
I was in Germany when war appeared to be
imminent, studying the country and-taking
notes. On my return here I wrote to an influ
ential person, stating that we should encoun
ter the passions of 1813 and that a war was
imprudent. Almost all cultivated people
thought as did. But we were in the hands ,
of :Ig:wilder who played war as his last card—
he lost, and has lost us. '
