CIRCVMLOCVTWN
An internecine paper war ia now going on
between tbe Edinburgh Review and Charles
Dicker's. Having lost that independence of
Government influence which gave it a high
character, oven after tbe brilliant assistance of
Jepvhev, Bbouohau, and Sidney Smith
ceased i the Edinburgh Review has latterly been
the tlucV.-and-tliin champion of successive
Whig Administrations, whether presided over
by that puny morsel of pretonce, Lord Jons
Russell, or that political Protect), Lord
Palmebston. So entirely is this the case
that, four years ago, whon Sib Geoboe
Cobnwall Lewis was Editor, there appeared
in the Review wliat is called a “ slashing arti
cle” on Mr. Disbaeli, full of tho grossest per
sonalities, written by a literary man high in
the employment of tho Government. Sib
Geoboe Lewis is now Chancellor of the Ex
chequer and one.of the Cabinet of England,
and has ostensibly retired from literature, but
bis influenco is visible in tho Edinburgh Re
view, and tho last number contains an article
which, in all probability, he either wrote, re
vised, or ordered.
Not long ago CHAr.LEsDioKBNs completed
bis novol of “Little Dorrlt,” and, much about
the same time, Cii Abies Keaoe (a new and ri
sing author) published what he called “A
matter-of-fact Romance,” entitled “It in never
toqlato to mend.” Dickens, who is a social
reformer in his own way, fell foul ol the ineffi
ciency of the Government, doclared that tha
whole art of Government (in England) lay in
discovering how not to do it, and happily In
vented tho phrase of “Tlio Circumlocution
Office,” which indicates, very sufficiently,
what the machinery is., Mr. Reads wrote his:
book principally to show up tho abominable
system of Prißon Discipline in England, under
which had been inflicted punishments tho most
cniel and illegal—punislimonts which some
times Induced mortal disease—punishments
which sometimes led to suicide. Ho founded
his Btory on actual facts—Lioutonant Austin,
tho Governor of Birmingham Gaol, having
actually been tried, convicted, and imprisoned
for having done all, and more, that was related
in tho story. Tho Reviewer, while he admits that
the jailor’s sovoro andillegal discipline showed
“lamentable indifference to human suffering,”
and that the magistrates trusted him with that
irresponsible power which makes tyrants, bit
terly complains of Mr. Reade —first, for basing
his story upon facts j secondly, for not adhe
ring, word by word, to tho actual evidence j
and noxt, for declaring that three months’ im
prisonment was too small a punishment for
having, by liis deliberate and devilish cruelty,
(ingenious in its refinements and accumulation
of torture,) drivon a miserable prisoner to
commit suicide j and, lastly, for having asked
how five of the seven indictments against the
cruel jailer were abandoned—swamped by the
nolle prosequi of the Government lawyers.
Against Mr. Diokens there appeared only a
general defence of tho Government, from the
imputation of “ circumlocution” nnd an asser
tion that tho adoption of Rowland Hill’s
penny postage plan, and his own appointment
to superintend its working, wereprgols against
Dickens’ rash and wholesale satire.
Mr. Kkaoe has not replied. Not so [Mr.
Dickers, who lias answered the Review, at
some length, in Mb own weekly Household
Words, and refers to the notoriety of the fact
that, for years ufler, as well as before, tho
penny postage scheme was established, tbo
Post Office vehemently opposed it—that Mr.
Hill was not allowed tohavo anythingto do with
its working until years after it commenced—
that ho was finally pressed on tho Government
by public opinion—and that, after all, instead
of being Postmaster General, or at least Se
cretary, he was smuggled in as Secretary to the
Postmaster. Dickens has hit hard, whether
Sir Gioboe Lewis, or one of his men, wrote
the Review attack.-
Indeed; Dickers was under no necessity of
defending Ids introduction of « The Circum
locution Office,” so notorious are the instances
which justify it. After he had completed
“Little Dorrit,” no less an authority than
Mr. Justice Hauburton, (author of “ Sam
Slick,’’ one of the wisest as well as wittiest of
modern books,) declared at a public lecture in
Scotland, arterwards published, that, during
tiie late Crimean war, Canada offered to raiso,
equip, and scud two complete regiments as her
voluntary contribution to the necessity of tho
mother country, and the letter containing this
offer was returned to Canada from London un
answered —because it had been addressed to
tho wrong office!
We find another “ Circumlocution” fact in
a London paper called tho United Service Ga
zette, specially devoted to the military and na
val services of Great Britain. It in ns thus,
speaking of military promotion in India:
“Will itbooroditod tliataprivatooannot be pro
moted to tho rank of sorgeant except by tho Ho
vornor-Gonoran Mojor-GoneralJlonrsoy, in order
to reward soppy Sholk Phultoo, who gallantly do
feuded his officer from the attack of a mutineer,
promoted him sar U champ to the rank of havitdar,
of sergeant; whereupon Viscount Canning, jealous
of his patronage, records in a minute that ’lt is not
in the power ortho Major-General commanding a
division to make this promotion, which can pro
ceed only from tho (Jov'ornmont of India,’ and all
the members of Council subscribe to bis doctrino.
Soifmehfor oontrnlißation. Now for circumlocu
tion. The Government agree that tho sepoy
doservos promotion, and confer it, and at the
| semi time grant the man tho .‘Order ot Merit,’
and this is tho way in which tho very im
portant honor is conferred. Colonel Biroh, the
Military geerotary to the Government of India,
1 writes to tho Adjutant-General, and requests that
tho Oommandor-in-Ohiof may be ‘moved to cause
I tbb documents to bo submitted for tbo OTQorR of

is placed heforo ■ tbo Governor-Ganoid in

—who gives it to tho Adjutant—who enters it

How much easier and bettor would ,it have
been had General Hhahsey been able to pro
mote the man upon the spot, instead of wait

• Wo have had a good deal of mirth, in thia
country, over Tho Circumlocution Office, with'
Lord Deciubs, Sir. Tite Baekacle, and com
pany. It may be laughter-exciting, as a capi
tal joko—hut it is a very stern reality to those
who are victimized by tho multiplication
of needless formalities, whose hearts sink,

PiTTanunou, Sopt. 7,1857. ’’
On Saturday last I visited tho Uaited States
Marine Hospital. It is altuato two inilos below the
city, on the Ohio riror, and from tha portico, which
commands one of the moat magnificent of views, js
seen our noblo stream stretching ou each side as
far ns tho oyo can roach.
The Marino Hospital Is a largo and substantial
building. Tho patients &( this time omonnt to
twenty-five, oil of whom aro treated in o skilful
manner.
Among the patients is a negro, called General
Jackson. Ho wftsa servant to the Hero of New
Orleans. Twenty yoar3 since he was liboratod by
bis generous mastor. Sinco that time ho has be*
oomo insane, and now he raves about his former i
friend with all tho forco and vigor characteristic of
one in bis condition. A gentleman told him that
ho knew Jaokson—thot ho had been at tho Honnit*
age, and had uoted tho kindness and charity dis*
played by the old Hora. Tho stalwart negro
melted. In a moment he wrns in tears. Tho .post
rushed upon him, and once moro ho was amid tho
scenes of hia boyhood. How potent tho infiuonco
of mind! We may feel indifferent to fashion; wo
may disregard tho mode of tho times, and net like
persons who despise the fuss and feathers of tho
day; yot, whothor man or woman—whetbor edu
cated or ignorant—whether lofty or lowly, all must
fool and acknowledge the forco of a commanding
mind.
Under tho suporin tendeneo of Samuel Smith, the
excellent and attontivo steward, the grounds—
amounting to ton acres—have been placed in ft
at&to of high cultivation, and tbo building is so
clean and comfortablo that it rivals our private
residences. Mr. Smith was onoo a member of our
Stale Legislature—is a consistent. Democrat, and
is now a faithful ami most efficient public officer.
Johu S. Hall, a talented and ingonious mechanic
of this city, is about completing a steam carriage,
‘which, bo says, will run ten milos per hour. ML
Hall is a young man ; notwithstanding this, beh&t
already tukon out sevon patents und bids fair to'
becorno ono of tho most eminent mechanics in tho
country.
At tho fair of ’5O and ’57 Mr. nail took tho
prizo for tho best ploughs.
Tho inventor of tho steam-carrlago is a man of a
high order of invontivo intolioot. Ho has done
muoh, and his future promlsos to bo full of useful-,
noes and honor. Ilia bteam-carriage is a most
ful invention, and, while the travelling public
whirl along our high roads, thanks will l>o returned
to the man whoso gonius suggestud tbo idea and
whoso skill accomplished the task.
Last Sabbath I spontin attendance at one of our
fashionable churches. Tho clergyman was oar
nost, dovoted, logical, and oloquent. In tho povr
immediately beforo mo sat a lady gorgeously ar
rayed in all that a bad taste and a ridiculous
fashion could suggest. Mrs. Pepperbox—whoso
taste is generally correct—says that tho dross of
tho lady cost ovor fifteen hundrod dollars. I was
struck with tbo thought that tbore was something
peculiarly appropriate in tho phrase “ Nothing to
woar.”
Last night I visited tho theatre. Tho number
of persons in attendance was largo. A gentleman
who is agreat admirer of good dram&tio perform
ances called my attention to an individual wear
ing a pin valuod at six thousand dollars! I was
foroed to think of what ia now a say, “ Nothing to
wear.”
I passed along our public streets. I saw young
lasses who nolthor toll nor aplu arrayed in gar
ments surpassing in gorgoousnoss and cost tins ap
parel of those bred in the East, and I was forced
to tbiuk that thero was neither truth nor poetry
in tho new expression, “ Nothing to woar.”
I saw a boy of twonty; ho was clad In all that
wealth could command. On hU porson tho artist
bad exhausted bis latent. Tho satin, the silk, tho
hose, and tbo broadcloth were resplendent. His
conduct was that of ono whoso funds wero “ flush,'’
and whose appearance indicated a high regard for
dross. I could not but think of a poom entitled
“Nothing to Woar.*’
In fact, my doar Fress, wherevor wo go, to the
publio mart, to the counting-houso, the
the ball room, tho theatre, or the house sot apart
to tho prayer and praise of tho Most High, wo look
in vain for “ Nothing to wear.” •
“ Nothing to wear!” The thought is ridiculous.
In our glorious land, whore labor is honored and
industry is rewarded, none but tbo utterly degra
ded havo “ Nothing to woar.” Our very air i #
fragrant with tho sweets of tho harvest field*
and from tho anvil rings a tone as poetio as that
which falls from tho pen of Holmes or nood.
Our Democratic county tickot is popular, and
will receive an immonso voto. It will be pleasant
to seo Alloghony county redeemed.
FROM NORTHAMPTON COUNTY,
[Correspondence of Tho Press.]
Perhaps a few words in relation to matters from
this region would not prove uninteresting to your
readers. Political letters, His true, from districts
generally unfavorable to tho Democracy may be
more anxiously and oagorly read by your Demo
cratic readers than those coming from such coun
ties as our o>vn; nevertheless, we cannot but think
that afowlinesfromsuch strongholds, occasionally,
will bo received with favor. I know they must
interest; for thoy never do, they cannot, breathe
anything that sounds like disloyalty on tho part of
the Democracy of Northampton. Democracy roigrn
here —tho Democracy fills our offices. Harmonious,
shoulder to shoulder, wo fight our political battles,
(when wo can find an enemy to contend against,)
and of course, if we write any letters for tbo city
papers, wo can truthfully tell of nothing but the
loyalty to Democratic principles and faith.
The Americans of this place will not swallow the

many of the Amorioans havo boon enticed by Hon.

President, but didn’t, and now wish to umko WH

put their hands on him and find him thpro?

Packer will be elected. There is not a reasonable
doubt of this left. Tho opposition know it. Our
County Convention will assemble on tho 15th inst.,
and ns the nominations rondo by it aro generally
equivalent to oleotion, those who intend submitting
their namos to that body naturally begin to woar

QoOpp, a talented young lawyor of our place, wilt

I have no moans of knowing, but I do know
that Northampton will do honor to hersolf if she

. Mr. Church had a peculiar building erected near
' bo Court House, which bo used oa a privato office.
, r t ii yot standing, in a tolerably good stale of pre
-aeration, and is occupied as a dwelling. It at
tracts much attention, on account of Us oddity, and
'brfamUiarly known as ‘/Jerry Chuteb’a folly." He
iJsßcriboa it himßolf as follows:
;? “In order to carry out my originality, I buiJt an
office in the town, standing eight feet above' tho
ground, oh tfUrtsen largo posts, or pUars, to repre
sent our thirteen Continental States. In the first
place it was mode by placing thirteen large pino
Does, five feet in tho ground and thirty foot long,
’in th?ir natural at&to, with tho oxcoption of t&kiug
the bark ofT, and painting thorn iu imitation of
marble, with a fourteen foot, room formed inside of
tbo posts, so os to form a balustrade! alt around it;
and the roof projecting oVer it so as to protect tho
building. ' I cCncluded, when I was making it, that
it was an odd-lookiug office, and different from any
ope I had seen in this country. And as I was no
liwyer, and could not expect &oy notice or buslnoss
in that way, I concluded that I would build my
offico so that clients might look at U without auy
■lf lam not very much mistaken, they
would make as much at that as they would if I had
.been a lawyer myself, I hod a number of soiontl
fio gentlemon viow tho little building, and tboy
always asked what order I intoudod it to bo. I
toldihom I neyor did anything according to or
der—it was all a matter of Lorio; that I novor
learned anything by rote, and, therefore, could
! j)ot luforfii them any moro than It was my.otm or
dor, and that appeared to satisfy thorn.”
j According to tho census of Look llsvon in 1850,
the population scarcoly*oxceedcd eight hundrod;
now it will not fall far short of threo thousaud,
and in 1860, if it continues io improve as it D ut
.tho present timo, it will number fivo thousand in
habitants. From this fact tbo roadoroan form
somo idea of tbo progress it is making.
* Lumbering is very extensivoly carried on hero,
and thousands of dollars aro invested in tho busi
ness. Thero aro four largo steam saw mills in
successful operation in tbo upper part of tho town,
and a short distance below, on tho other side of
rlvor, tbore are two moro. These mills aro
oapabJo of manufacturing sixty millions of foot por
annum.

i In 1810 Mr. Church bid adieu to Lock Haven,
find dopr.rted for tho West, whore he has since
founded two or threo town 3. If ho wore to return
pow to tho town that ho founded *eomo eighteen
years ago, ho would bo surprised at tho progress it
has'made.
* •An extensive basin bos rcoently boon mado
within ft short distance of tho town, and filled
With water from tho Bald Eagle Canal, capable of
bolding 2,500,000 foot of saw-logs. Tlio coinpaoy
also havo tho power to connect it with the boom
and river, which will afford facilities for tho most
extensive lumbering operations.
Anothor largo basin, called Clinton Harbor, is
ioftfttod on tbo Pennsylvania Canal, sufficiently ca
pacious to oontaln overjono million foot of logs, and
affords abundant facilities for additional milts and
other manufacturing operations on a vory exten
sive scale.
In 1843 a gentleman named Johnson, from New
Hampshire, who owned largo traoU of timber lands
intho immediate vioinity of tho towu, mado a pro
position to some of tho enterprising oittzens, that
if tboy could obtain a charter from tho Legisla
ture to erect a boom in the river, it would attract
lumber manufacturers, and give an impulse to tho
growth of the town that would in time inako it
ono of the most important points on tho rivor. They
acted upon, his suggestiou, and immediately sot
about securing Iho charter. After encountering
much opposition from old fogies, and having to en
counter mouy other difficulties, the oharter was ul
timately obtained. A contract was then mado with
Potor Dickinson, ouo of tho most oaterprising and
; accomplished business men of tbo place, to oreot
tbo boom within a given poriod of time. Mr. 1).
wont to work, and fulfilled bis coutraot to tho sat
isfaction of all interested. It is now owned by a
stock company, and is capable of holding an im
mense) quantity of logs. These logs uro out on the
timber lauds up tbo river, thrown in and floated
down till caught in tho boom. It is valuod at
$lOO,OOO, and at somo periods, in tho spring, has
contained 200,000 saw logs.
Soon aftor the completion of tho boom, tho rapid
growth of tho towncommonoed; property doubled,
troblod, and quadrupled in value, and soon tho va-
cant lots wero covered with noat substantial dwel
lings, and tho streets filled with an industrious,
bnorgctic, and prosperous population.
The pool of the Dunnstowu dam, which extends
up to the town, is tho groat point for tho concen
tration of rAfts from tho lumbering regions up Kottlo
creek, Sinnomshoning, and tho rivor. Whon tho
spring freshets sot in, and tho rafting sonson com
mences, hundreds of rafts, composed both of boards
and timber, aro constantly arriving und “tying
up” In the dam. Thu scene prcscutcd at this time
is a very busy und animated uue—the town is
crowded with “ raftsmen,” fresh from tho wilds of
tho pino forest, and hundreds of speculators, too,
are on hand to purchnso lumber. Tho lumber ma
nufacturers obungo off their mou at this point,
giving their rafts into tbo hands of “pilots,” who
enter into contracts to run them safely to Middle
town, Mariottn, or Columbia. Tbo prices charged
by these pilots to deliver rafts at tho points desig
nated below is from fifty to sovonty-fivo dollars
eaoh, they finding hands to nssist in running them.
A flootof two heavy timber rafts requiroa four men,
pilot, to run thorn. Thoy aro paid by
tbo trip, from twelve to fifteen dollars. It requires
from threo to four duya to rnuko u trip down.
For many wllos wost of Lock Haven, there is bnt
little tillable land along tho river or its tributaries;
but this mountainous district is well covered with
a great variety of the finest timber, and abounds
in excellent veins of bituminous coal, iron oro, and
fine day. Tho principal business of tho lumbering
aud mining operations is transacted at Lock Jla
yen; und from this point nil supplies unHt neces
sarily be obtained
Lock Haven contains some of tho finest and most
costly privato rosidonces of any town on tho rivor.
TU© dwelling of L. A. Maokoy is a model of archi
tectural beauty, reflecting groat credit upon tho
mechanic, ns well as tho liberality of tho worthy
proprietor. There aro otbor beautiful buildings,
which arc stoat ornaments to tho town, and much
admired by strangers, belonging to Gou. D. K.
Jackman, Hon. Allison "White, P. Dickinson, Esq.,
Captain Jarrott, and others.
Look Havou can justly boast of having ono of tho
most magnificent hotels in tho Stato. It is consi
dered that thero are only two iu Philadelphia—
tho Girard ami La Pierre—that will oxcol it. It
is called tho Fallon House, after Christopher Fal-
lon of your olty, who contributed materially to tho
trado of tho town. It is kopfc by Mr. Lobo, Into of
tho Commercial Hotel, in Philadelphia, and is
doing an excellent business. Th© building is vory
largo, ami furnished throughout in the most sump
tuous manner. It is of brick, plastered in imita
tion of brown stono. Tho Lock Haven Bank, an
excellent Institution, with a capital of $200,000
paid in, is in one end of tho building.
Thoro aro two nowspspors published in Look

Tho morcantilo businoss is carried on with great
success, and largo quantitiesofgoods are annually
disposed of. Thero aro about twonty stores in tho

Tho various moohanlcal arts aro pursued with
great energy and suocess.
The Bald Eagle Canal, commencing at Bcllo
fonto, Centro county, intersects tho West Branch
Division of tho Pennsylvania Canal at Look Haven,
and ft steamboat plies regularly betwoen the latter
place and Queen’s Run, Farrandsville, Tangoscoo*
tack, the principal points for lading boats with hi
tuwiuoqs coal and fin brick, The ,@unbury And
Erie Railroad will pass through tho town, and if
ever this important link in tho chain of our im
provements is completed, it is supposed that their
principal machine shops will bo located hero. The
Tyrone Railroad also starts from thia point, and
will connoot tho Pennsylvania Central with tho
Sunbury and Erio. Vigorous efforts are being made
to push it through to completion.
. Lock Haven enjoya admirable advantages; and,
with tho facilities that these railroads will afford
her, thero will bo no barrier tu interpose betweop
her and pre-eminent greatness in tho future. Her
inhabitants aro active and energetic; tboy we
deeply imbued with tbo spirit of progress and im
provement, and old fogylsm is not permitted to
fiourLh in their midst.
I prosumo it will not bo out of place to close the
present sketch of Lock Haven with an amusing
anecdote, concerning *OOO of tbo citizens, that is
faid to bayo acluully occurred. B. W. Morrison,
Esq., Is Iho gontleman to whom I havo reference.
Ho is ono of those free and easy, good-hearted,
humorous follows, that are always ready to oraok
a joko or porpotruto “ a sell.” “Bon,” as he is
familiarly known by everybody in the place, is a
lawyer by profession, a Democrat in polities, six
foot high, vory good looking, and an old bachelor.
Some flftoen yoara ago Ben was travelling in
Butler county on professional busiuoss. Tho roods
wero intolerably bad, and, worst of &U, the stago
drivors and tho landlord at a certain hotel whero
they stopped far dinner, hod an understanding with
each other something liko this: The passengers
woro taken in to dino, and when cleverly seated,
tho ooaoh would furiously dash up to tho door, and
tho driver would oall for bis passengers, stating
that ho could cot delay s minute, on accountof
making his time. They would rush out, heaving
their meals half finished, for fear of beiug loft.

A RUSSIAN VIEW OP TIIE 3IVTINF IN
INDIA.
The Nord (Russian organ,) of Browd*, pob
)who3 llio following loiter from Madras from “its
own correspondent
~ r i« ... . “ Mxnnas, July 10.
“India, at the present moment, from Cape
Comorin to the foot of the Himalayas, is the thea.
tro of the most horrible crimes aud atrocities—
officers murdered by their soldiers, women violated
and cut in pieces, and children roasted alivo be
fore their parents' eyes.
• “Such aro the scenes now witnessed in India,
that fine country where, nevertheless, for a cen
tury the English have established their rules and
laws.
“This state of things has roused the East India
-Company’s Government from its habitual apathy.
The public press has taken hold of the question,
and namorous pamphlets have been published to
wint exit tho evil? us causes, und the remedies to
>o employed.' * ’
“ As it was tha army which first gave the exrfm
do of revolt ‘and, oriuie, it is on its organization
hat puhlio attention was first directed, and &lftfa&
organs of the press .coincide in discovering
evil:
“I. In priority admitted as iho only claim to
promotion.
“ 2. In tho little talent and military taste of the
officers of tho Indian army.
*‘3; lb the total wan tof sympathy between them
and their men. * v *
“4. In the faulty organization of tho military
government plocod under tho control of the civil
servico.
“ The native army, consisting of seventy-three
regiments of 1,000 men each, tolerates patiently,
but also contemptuously, its English officers, and,
from the statement of itscommandlng officers, who
really took an interest in its organization, it was a
secrot enemy of tho Indian Government.
“ A groat general ofton observed that ho feared
the Sepoys more than an enemy on the froctior.
“ The army, which consists exclusively of Hin
doos and Musselmans, to whom the nee of pork fat
Is expressly forbidden by their religion, mado a
pretext of greased cartridges given to them with a
new description of muskeU. and they rose as ono
man at every military station. The soldiers first
refused obedience; they then fired on thoir officers
on parade, and then deserted their colors and their
profession forever.
“The Government at first tried to persuade
itself that it was only an accidental mutiny in two
or three discontented regiments, and tho Governor-
General issaod a proclamation to reassure the
troops that other cartridges would be given them,
and that theJGoveruniont would never interfere with
their religion. The troops received the proclama
tion with very bad grace, and a few hGurs after it
had been officially read some regiments fired on
their officers, burned their stations, and put to
death all Europeans they mot with, without regard
to sex or ago.
“The so-eallod mutiny assumed the proportions
of a serious revolution, fomented throughout the
whole of India by all lire dethroned king 3 and de
posed Mussulman Princes.
"What is the cause of this revolution ? Is it to
be attributed to tho greasod catridges, or solely to
discontent among the sepoya?
‘•No. it is to be attributed—
“l. To tho policy of annexation, followod for
many years by the representatives of the East In
dia Company,
“2. To the unjust treatment of the women and J
heirs of the deposed crownc-d heads.
“3. To tbo breach of faith on tho part of tho
Government towards tho army on two different oc
casions.
“4. To the humiliation of Europeans in favor of
a few privileged classes of natives and Mussulmans,
whioh tho Government wished to Balter to obtain
loans from them.
“ 5.T0 the tendenoyto seise hold of the fortunes
of Rajahs and millionaire nabobs.'
“ 0. To a false application of what the Govern
ment pleased itself to style philanthropy.
“ 7. To the licentiousness of the native press
“ Let us now examine each of these causes *.
‘ ‘*l, Tho Government of the East Indfa'Com
pany has annexed, without any reason, and must
unjustly, tbo Kingdom of Oade to Us territory.
This false and clumpy policy aroused tho indigna
tion of the whole of that rich and populous country,
and the sepoys, who belong chiefly toOude and tbo
neighboring countries, took up arms for the cause
of thoir King.
“ A groat number of other doposed princes aud
princesses arc actually receiving ponstons from the
company, but as it always endeavors to find means
to reduoo its expenditure, by pretending that the
women and heirs are not legitimate, it has created
a general common feeling of discontent among
them, which has made them the sworn enemies of
the Government, and actual events have proved
(bat^these Kings ami princes aro at tbo hozd of a
portion of tho conspiracy which has broken out.
The Government has taken advantage of this to
shut up the King of Onde and his Prime Minister
as prisoners in the fort of Calcutta. It will act
likewhio towards many other princes now re
ceiving pensions, and thus will save many lacs of
rupees.
•‘ 2. A law has been prepared, and is, it is said,
on the ovo of being passed, to prevent Rajahs ami
other Indian millionaires leaving their property to
indirect heirs; thus, tbo possessor of only 1.000
rupees may leave thmu to his nephews and nieces,
but any one possessing ten lacs or more can only
lo&vo them to the honorable East India Company.
“ This Inw, if wo are to bolievo tho natives, was
framed with a view to tho eveutual death of cer
tain Rajahs who have no legitimate children, es
pecially to that of the Rajah of Bnrdwan, who pos
sesses millions. This measure, it appears, in no
manner pleased him, for he is one of the individuals
compromised in the present movement. As regards
tho women, rightly or wrongly, public rumor pre
vails that tho Government put them to death to
avoid paying their pensions. A journal speaking
of the rents of Mazpooro, said last year that they
had beoQ sent to a pestilential residenco that the
payment might stop.
“ 2. Tho Qorernwont broke its word towards Ibe
army. It had, in fact, promised to tho men that
1 they should not erosi tho sea; now, in the llurme*e
i war it ordored four regiments to embark. The
first ordeT was disobeyed. The troopi had right
' on their side, yet they wero decimated and fired
ujHin by English cannon. At the time of the Sikh
war tho army refined, at* a critical and decisive
moment, to cross tho Sutlej without a hattu. The
gonerals wero obliged to givo in, and a batta win
grnntod. Wbon Ondo was nnuovcd, tho Govern
ment, then in strongth, declared that tho batta
1 should ceaso to bo paid These facts, added to the
discontent caused by the greased cartridges.brought
. about with tho gold of the Rajahs and of the Kings,
. the present revolution in India.
“4. The Company’s Government, despito its in
-1 credible resources, has always gone beyond its
> means, and has consequently been compelled to
contract loans. Its debts actually amount to $5,-
000,000 sterling. It was necessary to eajolo or
flatter a certain rich class iu India, and to succeed,
1 under tho mask of philanthropy, native uiagis-
I trates, judges, and official secretaries wero appoint
ed. Tneao situations only doubled the hatred of
the Mussulman against •* tho deg of a Christian
and, though making, money, tho Government
by no means advanced the welfare 6f tho coun
try.
“ The Bengalee is a liar and a thief by his reli
gion. Now, if you boat him or accuse him on lo
sing some article or other, ho leaves you, and
brings an action for his wages. The jndgo, who
is also a Bengalee, gives it against you, having
probably received a douceur, aud the Govern
ment approves it because the court expenses aro
paid.
“ The result of all this is a general state of dis
content among every class, whether whiteor h lack,
Mohoinmedan, Hindoo, or Christian; hence the
causo of revolution.
“ 7. The license abused by tho press in a country
dissatisfied with English rule must havo hastened
tho present outbreak.
“Tho false philanthropists of India, under the
masks of missionaries—Jesuits disguised—ha>o at
tacked all white officials, and declared themselves
the friends of their black brothers. To them must
bo attributed the stories of torturo on the high-
minded Bengalee. These discussions have tended
much to lower tho Governors of India in tho opin
ion of tho nativos, who have gradually acquired a
eompleto contempt for Europeans Tho Guvernor-
Genoral is not oven excepted. A Government thus
molested losos all dignity and respect, and, what
is more, credit; tho last loan finds no response.
The signature of the Governor-General is not worth
that of tho smallest banker in tho baiaar.
“On tkoir part, tho Bengalese havo abused tho
liberty of tho press to mako proclamations against
the Government, to stir up regiments in the names
of ohl dynasties, and to preach open re\olntion,
while the missionaries, up to their work, converted
colonels ami generals to thoir own ways, who at
tempted to read sermons to and to mako Christians
of sumo of their men. The grcn&cd cartridges
eaino as a finisher—so much so that ou tho one
hand tho dethroned kings and tho deposed llujahs,
and on tho other hand the soldiers who supported
tho Government, and finally the people, imbued
with a natural hatred of a Christian, only enter
tained one idea, one wish, one will —revolution
and tho blood of tho wbito man.
“Tb©Uovcrnmenthasatla a .tappreciated tho im
mensity of tho evil. Onions have been sent to
stop the troops for China Bombay, Madras, and
Colombo send what troops they can dispense with.
“ On tho other hand, the internal Government is
takiug tho following severe and'energotio mea
sures:
“ I. Aholil ion of tho freedom of the press through
out India.
“1?. Imprisonment of all suspected kings and
Rajahs.

“ -1. Fifty rupees for every dcsorler caught.
“5. Abolition (projected) of overy nativo school

“6. Proclamation of mnrlial law with all its ri*
