ourselves of the ;dreadful dilemma in which we
"have placed ourselves by our_hasty conquest?—

-went on the fatal,embasay. Trusting to the use.

tered the lines of the foe, without having taken
any precautions, for the preservation of his life.
While yet the flag of truce was waving over either
camp,; the Affghans were notified by a secret sig
nal to advance and surround the entire camp of
the 13ritish. Meanwhile a treaty, every term of
which with couched in' the-mostdiehonOrible lan

half in-mockery, he was asked to,sign it. On re..
fusing to sign, the compact, he was taken to a

It was a dreadful struggle, brit Silos coniiiien4.4-. ,
In the valley below lay the carap, , :withita *bp'.
out soldier s its matrons; anktheiCchildren, un

and around them, but hidden from view by roc .
-and barriers, .was concealed, their numerous and
vengeful foe. Sir William, perchance, looked into
the valley, as though by faith he could see the wife
Of hia bosom preparing to follow his fate; and then
his thoughtsreverted to the.scenes of his boyhood,
to
,his gray haired lather, and his affecti4ate
mother; and he believed that - they W'o'uld rather
receive, his corpse returning on his sitioldjth4l be
told that be had compromised the honor oi his
_country. In that dark hour of his sufferingsi his
enthusiasm remained,. and he thus Snddressed l the
savage chief who'stood before him:—
"Ruthless and treacherous chief, ye have phlyei
your part well, but think ye "not 'that for this.vile
and wicked deceit you will one day, here or here
after; be compelled to give a fearful secant. I
tear ye not. Yonder brilliant ensign has.flaunted

England; ye shall one day pay dearly for your vi
olation of a sacred treaty, and your presumption.
I will die as I have lived, pmferring death before
dishonor. In the name of England and of Eng
land's God, I defy you.,' ,
Ere the latter sentence had well escaped' his
lips, an assassin from behind, struck off his bead
at a blow,. and the enthusiastic and galladt Sir
William Hay M'Naughton, was numbered with
the dead. This cowardly procceeding was follow
ed up by a Ilene scarcely parallelled in the annals
of crime and - brutal atrocity. The Envoy's dead
body was treated with the moat shocking indig
nity, and savagely exposed to public observation.
This was but the signal for a general massacre.—
The troops unexpectedly attacked by such over
whelming odds as now made their appearance
were unable to sustain a regular line of battle.—
Missiles and projectiles of every murderous des
cription were . hurled down upon them from the
rocky precipices above them, and they were cut
to pieces. The pass of Cabool was one human
slaughter house, for of the whole British army that
had entered it, only a few, a very few lived to re
late the disastrous occurrence, and they were taken
captive with the women and children belonging to
the camp. It has been stated that 16,000 perish
ed during the massacre. The gallant 44th regi
ment, which fought under General Packenham at
the battle of New Orleans, was almost utterly an
nihilated, only 13 being left to tell the tale of their
survival
Where they fell there they lie, till the final
trump shall wake them :o put on incorruption.—
One grave holds all that was once the Bower of
British chivalry, that grave, the bleak and inau
spicious Pass of Cabool l No solemn prayer was
said at the funeral; no mock pageant attended it,
but the mournful wind down that dismal gorge,
chanted the doleful requium over the bleaching
bones of a martyred army.
"What as low streaming o'er the murmuring deep,
"In mounuul silence bid Britannia weep;
"What sounds are those which reach your tranquil
shore,
:Mourn, Albion, mourn! MeNaughten is no more."
Great anxiety was manifested in England for
the arrival of the Orientalsteamer, with news from
China, and from India. It was highly gratifying
therefore, when that news was received to find that
the expdiition to China, had been successful, even
beyond themost sanguine expectations, andlizat
part of the country was already British soil! There
too; the drill, sciences, civilization, and even the
christian religion . were received with gladness, and
. a hearty welcome. Sir Henery Pottinger had
made his own terms with the chinese, and reCeiv
ed from them £3,000,000, stg. to defray the ex.
penses Of the war.
But how shall we attempt to describe the feel ,
logs of the public, when made acquainted with,
the dasastrions consequences of the Affghtin war.
As in. Egypt, on the night when the empowered
Angel passed on his embassey of destruction leav
ing in every house a trace of his visit—there was
a great A: cry of mourning, lamentation,
and woe, for. every .one wept for their absent-re
latives, becatisithey were not. 'But, 'not Only did
families lament, for their dead, and their exiles,
but the nation would - express her grief also. The
Premier, when,
.questioned on the'subject—(and
let it bel.tonte in mind that be never, breathed a
syllable of the whole transaction until be was in
terrogated in his place in the house of Commons.)
Could not deny, but that the army bad met with
reverses of no ordinary description, and he ac
knowledged that the hand of God, was visible
in the catastrophe, regretted by the nation at large,
and therefore by and with the idvice and consent
of her most Religious and Gracious Majesty, and
of the Lords spiritual, and temporal; he Knights
Citizens and Burgesses in Parliament assembled; a
general fast was appointed, a stu lied prayer agreed
upon by his grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
St.c. to be read at Morning prayer in all the churches
in Great Britain, and Ireland and' in the Colonies,
acknowledging a National Repentance, and implor
ing pardon.
A National Repentance! A National humbug.

On the death of Sir William APNaughteu his
friend Major Pottioger assumed the command in
his stead. He is still in India, but whit his lank
we know not. He believes yeti' that , be was
right, as to the progress of Christianity. Pagan
ism, and infidelity he belieies. will be demolished
not by power nor the sword, but by.the word and
spirit of the Lord of Hosts:—by the effectual
preaching of some meek, and JoWly follower of
the Saviour of mankind.
Sir Henry Pottinger returned from China, to
receive the thanks of both 'houses' cif Parliament,
and of Royality itself at the footstool of the throne
He is still ascending the dangerous path of ambition
- and may yet perchance, be exalted to the'Peerage .
Sir Robert Sale; the hero of Jellabad, - and his
lady (whose sufferings in the Siktu s iCaptivity
well known;) returned to England, sikortlyi•after
the massacre of Cabool. They crossed the liish.

StealbenTllle and Indians Railroad.
We are pleased to learn that a better feeling be"
gins to prevail in relation to this Railroad. The de
termination of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad
Company to take a North-western route through
Ohio, and go on to Chicago, has created the neves.
sity for anothei.,ltailroad, to traverse the centre or
Ohio, to Cincinnati, and from thence to St. Louis.—
As our readers have already been' informed, a good
charter has recently been obtained from Steubenville
to the Indiana State line, and the route has been
surveyed as far as Mt. Vernon. A survey has also
been made of the country between. Pittsbur6 and
Steubenville, by Dr. Whippo, which we presented
-to the public some days since. The good people
who reside in the neighborhood of this survey, are
moving with peat energy in the matter. A meet'
ing wan held in Burgettstown, Washington county,
°tithe 98th inst., to talte-the necessary steps to pro.
Cute a charter, for the contieuarice of the proposed
Stenbenvilliiind Indiana Railroad through that sec
tion of country, making Pittsburgh a point. Robert
Patterson, Esq.,-acted as Chairman of the meetings
and John Stevenson as Secretery. The meeting was
unusually large, and much interest was manifested'
to secure the improvement. A petition was drafted
to present to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, now'
in session—=and a committee of eight individuals ap
pointed to confer with a committee on the part of
Florence, to procure names to the petiticrttleetting
forth the objects of the meeting. •
We learn from the Steubenville Herald that there
will be a meeting held at Florence, Pa., on the 10th,
and at Nob!Mown on the.l2.th inst. It is expected,
says the Herald, that a Committee, on the pan of
Steubenville, will be at both meetings to .confer
with committees on behalf of Florence and Nobles
town, to take into consideration, and to adopt the
best means to further the enterprise.
Liberation of the American IPrisoners in
Ireland.
The Washington Union of the 7th inst., contains
the correspondence between the British Government
and that of the United•thaten, in relation to the
•
im
prisonment of American citizens in Irelasn ; We
refret that we cannot make room for this highly in
teresting correspondence at length.
Every candid mind, remarks the Washington Un
ion, must admit, upon the perusahof it—especially
of the letter of Mr. Bancroti under date of Novem
ber 10th, and those of Mr. Buchanan under date of
October 23d and 28th and of December 18th—that
our government and our minister in London have,
broughout thiwhole transaction,acted with judicious,
promptness, energy, and decision. Their complete
imccessin effecting the liberation of our citizens,
under the circumstances 'of the cue, reflects the
highest credit upoil the spirit and ability which char
acterized their effort,.
.
It must not be forgotten that thelrishgovemment
in imprisoning these citizens, had a warrant , of law
to back them—a law which Mr:Bancro ft and Mr:
Buchanan properly characterizeae „ , , thoroughly; ar
bitrary » and 1, utterly despotio ll —a law , which, at
deemed to authorize specially, harsh proceedings to
wards "“all persons coming from.Amarica,” nothing
in the case can justify to American eyes-4 law
which, even in the 'disturbed State of Ireland, aid
without regard to the order of Aug ust 2dy iained in
pursuance of it, seems to have carried. reprsinve
proceedings almost to their last limits under a con
stitutional government—yet, still, an . !Wadded stat
ute-lasv of the land. In pursuance of this law-inot
in avoidance or violation of it—Mr. lityannertainly,
end perhaps Mr. Bergen, were arbitrarily and unjust
ly, but not illegally imprisoned. Their prompt• re
lease in this state of facts, is a striking proofor the
respect with which the representations of our minis
ter, and his active interference in the matter, were
regardeirby the British authorities. , The letters of
•Mr.. Bancroft and of Mr. Buchanan, to, which we
have specially referred, will be found fto Present in
a most able manner, and in the truest light, the doe
trine, on which "este the security of Anierican
.zees in a foreign land. Our readers will judge for
themselves of the spirit displayed in the, lettnr Of
Lord Palmerston, which, while refusing the release
of thepriioners, attempts to explain And InstilY, the
despotic and arbitrary course pursued =by the British
government in :their arrest, and detention., `To'un,
its statements seem to present the action of that
governmett in no enviable light.
