The intelligence from India this week ia of a de
preasing character. Wa learn by the telegraph from
Trieste ot the suTeuder and subsequent massacre
ot the garrison at Cawnpore. The name of NaDa
Sahib was previously known toiDfamyby whose
wholesale butchery of helpless womeu aud children,
and it has now transpired that he has had a second
opportunity of indulging his ctuel propen®ities, for
he has slaughtered the whole of the garrison at
Cau npore, after they had surrendered, owing to tbe
pressure of famine, aud in violation of his solemn
pronik e that then* iive% M ould be pparta. In this
mo t distressing affair kslr Hugh Wheeler lost his
life. He wap a soldier, we are *o!cf, of the Lake
School He entered the army in 1803, joined his
regiment at this very etation cf Cawnpore, and
inarched there, 51 years ago, to tbe conquest of Del
hi. He hfi distinguished himself in Affghanistau
and elsewhere, and his long term of service com
prised almost halt the period of our rule in lidia.
t hat a veteran of his high et aiding and lengthened
experience should fall at the human ehamLdes by
a remor.'elesß butcher like this Neua Sahib is a ca
tastrophe R.'t lamentable as it. is unlocked for. But
it is some satisfaction to know that the monster
was subsequently twice attacked and utterly do
failed by Gen. Ilaveleck, who have re-occupied
Cawnpore.
The following remarks in a metropolitan morning
contemporary will find a response in every British
bosom ( ‘‘Nfcr.a Shahib has released us from all ob
ligation ; and if he or any of his gang escape the
halter it must only be because the bullet or the bay
onet has been beforehand with it We trust that
England wi 1 spare no coat of men or of money to
vindicate justice and humanity upon the persons
of tins savage and his myrmidons. ICxtiaordinary
crime*require extraordinary penalties; and, ii we
ween to sustain the British rule or human nature it
seif, ir: any wholesale sense of that term, in iiindos
tan, we must make a signal example of the men
who have offered these affronts upon it. We occa
sionally hea. whispers about cheap sentiments of
mercy and pity for these men. Whatever we may
desire lor their eoula it is a plain matter of business
what w have to do with their bodies, and not only
India but the world will be intolerable if we neg
h.-ct cur duty to them. Nothing else wiil tell upon
the Mahomeden or the Hindoo. For our religion
our teaching and preaching, they have an utter con
tempt Fortunately they undent and whut it is to
be hung, and have a particular objection to it. What
we have to teach the followers of Mahommed and
ihe worshippers of Vishnoe is that, whatever their
creed or their caste, we treat murderers as we do
dogs, and in all moral respects rate them a great
deal lower.”
The other features of the Indian news are hardly
men cheering. Delhi, on the 14th, still held out.
The enemy, the telegraph assures us, had made
ibrte sorties, in every one of which they were de
feated with great los3 ; but the British force before
the place is evidently unequal to its subjugation,
and we must wail patiently until the reinforce meals
have arrived from this country. Sir Henry Barnard
died of cholera or. tfce sth of July, aud the preceding
day the brave Sir Henry Lawre ice expired of a
wound received m the discharge of his military
duty. Willoughby', the noble fellow who fired tbe
powder magazir eat Delhi, is no more, and Neill,
:inoiher noble and reliable soldier, was almost at
the po nt of death w hile making exertions for the
defence of Allahabad and the relief of Cawnpore.
Worse than all, disease appears to have added more
to the mortality of tbe European soldiers than the
worst efforts of the enemy. Famine and pestilence
are foes more dangerous than the sword, aud against
these terrible enemies the British troops were
struggling in various points as best they could.
This is a very uncheering picture of our future
prospects “The first troop ship for India sailed
from England on the last day of June. Since that
time troop ships have been taking their departure
alines, daily foi Calcutta and Kurrachee. The
average voyage to India round the Cape cannot be
estimated under*three months. About the end of
September the first reinforcements may begin to
reach Calcutta and Kurrachee, and they will be
dropping in there throughout the month of October,
November and December. But troop3 cannot be
forwarded from Calcutta to Allahabad, or from
Kurra bee to Mooltan, ip less than three weeks. It
will, therefore, be the beginning of November be
fore the first driblets of these vaunted reinforcements
reach the theatre of war, and what effect, in the
meantime, may not battle, pestilence, and famine
have on the European force?”
This is a gloomy but rather an overcharged nic
ture. It must b* remembered that the troops aes
tined for China have, ere this, reached India, aud
that the revolt is still confined to the Presidency of
Bengal. The geography of the district to which
the mutiny is mainly confined is not without inter
est at thl* moment. “It is bounded by the Juina
on the west, by the Soane and the Gogra on the
i hst. The spirit of insurrection has not caught the
bill tribes and the lower acclivities cf the Himalaya
on the north ; nor does it appear to have made se
rious inroads on any district south of the Ner udda.
The region within which England has to trample
out the flame and sparks of insurrection is easily
defined. It is a wide and populous region, but
Ei gland has grappled with more formidable foes
erenow.” The Bombay aud Madras presidencies
continued tranquil at the date of the last accounts,
and amongst tlin must pleasing features of the news
may be mentioned the ’act that, at Saugor, the 31st
Regiment, under their native c ffleer.-* alone, drove
the revolted 43d out of the station. There had been
some disturbances, at Hyderabad, in the Deccan,
but they bad been suppressed. The remaining reg
iments in the Huujaub had been disarmed. Upon
(he whole, then, although things are bad enough,
they mighl be worse, and the work which is before
us in one of time only. It may cost much blood
and treasure, aud be accompanied by some delay,
bu the certainty of our ultimate triumph cannot be
uoubtel and w ith it will come the wisdom which
is never dear w hen purchased by experience.
From the London Ttme* y August Tl .
Thx Indian Mutinies. —Could we look only at
l ouse, with a glance now and then at the neighbor
ing continent. we might betake oureclves to the
country u ith hearts as light as they usually are at
t In* t-iiu of August. There is no serious or any
threatening obstacle to the entire execution of the

of Persia. We have commit ed a troublesome im
post that detained every vessel at the entrance of
the Baltic, and elsewhere all Europe is peaceful,
and as friendly as one Government can be with

State which has not shown uniform sympathy with

up to the preae* t day, the scene of glorious victo

every occasion on which English gentlemen and

, with mei ciousadditions. There can be no dorbt
of a design in tbe horrors committed on our women
and girl-; and, ii there were any doubt, it would be
| removed by tbe manner and method which has
| been deliberately adopted.
< U ought to be known, reluctant as we are to tell
j it, that the women and unmarried girls who fell into
the bauds of the mutineers ana populace of Delhi
i were carried in procession tor hours through the
j chief thoroughfare of the city, with every horror
I that could degrade them ic the eyee of the people,
previous to the last brutalities and cruelties that
then, in the sight of thousands, were perpetrated
unon them. It was done of settled purpose, to de
grade England, to degrade Europe, to degrade a
Christian Empire and a Christian Queen. Now,
we say v. after fnil deliberation, and with a due re
gard to the objections always forthcoming against
any real and effectual policy, that not one stone of
thar city should be left upon another. Delhi should
tor the future be only known in history as Sodom
and Ojujcj rah, so that its place shall not be known.
We are well aware that this will try the fidelity of
some friends, but they cannot really be our friends
ifihey wish to nreserve the memorial of our dis
grace. It must be fully explained to them that no
disrespec t is intended to tbe Mahomedan and nasties
or the Mahomedan religion, but we desire also that
no disrespect shall be intended or permitted to us.
An execution of this solemn character is ‘to be
performed without a proper force; but if ‘hirty
thousand British soldiers are required to keep or
der on the occasion, we trust that no Englishman
would be fouud to grudge a year’s more income
tax that the work may be done. It will be the
eighth time that Delhi has been destroyed, and
never before was its destruction so merited. All
Asia will be wiser and better for the example.
Tbe London correspondent of the New York
Commercial writes;
The worst feature of the news from India is that
it confirms the apprehension that Sir Hugh Wheel
er and his gallant band, who were holdmg out in
the fort of Cawnpore, with two hundred and sixty
womeu and children under their protection, have
all been massacred. It appeers that before the re
lieving force arrived from Allahabad uadtr Gen.
Havelock, Sir Hugh Wheeler, pressed by famine,
found it necessary to surrender. The besiegers
were commanded by Nena Sahib, a wretch who had
previously slaughtered a large number of women
and children, who were endeavoring to escape from
Cawnpore in boats, but who, on this occasion,
solemnly undertook to guarantee the lives of all
who submitted. The honor, however, that Drevails
even among aboriginal savages never ex'sts in the
breast of a Mahratta chief. He at once doitroyed
the whole of them, and it 13 feared that the details,
which are still wanting, regarding the mode of de
struction will add everything that is possible to the
frightful character of the atrocity. Sir Hugh Wheel
er was a bravo and experienced soldier, and be
tween 70 and 80 year* of age. Fifty four years pre
viously he had been present at the victory of Delhi.
He was thoroughly acquainted with India, it seems
almost strange that he should, under any circum
stances. have tiusted to the w ord cf a fiend of the
race and stamp of Neua Sahib.
The relief to this melancholy intelligence is in the
fact that immediately after his triumph Nena Sahib
was Attacked by General Havelock, who had has
tened up ihe country from Aliahabad. and utterly
routed. For the moment he seems to have effected
his personal escape, but Havelock was pursuing
him, and there was consequently good hope cf his
speedily being brought to the gallows.
Another piece of good news is tbt at Saugur, in
the district of Allahabad, one regiment ol Sepoys
has remained staunch, and has actually driven out
one that revolted. The lact is rendered of still
greater importance as the loyal regiment performed
this great service solely under the command of its
native officers.
At beaikote, in the 1 unjaub, another outlying
station, two regiments which mutinied are staled to
have been subsequently attacked and thoroughly
defeated by Brigadier Nicholson. Attempted die
turbailees at Hyderabad, in the Deccan, have also
been suppressed. If we reckon up all these in
stances, with the losses and dispersion previously
inflicted upon the rebels, it will be seen that even the
enormous total of 50,000 or *0 000 men, which they
could count as being armed against us, must have
been coneiderab y reduced. Since the preceding
mail it appears that they have been totally defeat
ed iu three fresh eertiea which they have attempted
from Delhi.
In that city disease and wounds are also believed
to have wrought terrible havoc. A large number
must have (alien in the engagements with Gen.
Havelock''during his victorious march to Cawnpore,
and in their subsequent flight, aud at Lucknow,
where Sir Henry’ Lawrence perished in a sortie, and
which, at the last dates, was confidentially expected
to hold out, there must have been heavy fighting.
Looking at all he reports hitherto received, It seems
difficult, therefore, to avoid the conclusion that from
losses in battle executions, sickness and other causes,
at least from ten to tit teen thousand of them must
have perished. As they seem to be wholly without
concert or guidance, this mortality may be expected
to go on in a rapidly increasing ratio. Meanwhile the
British forces are not only being steadily increased,
but are regaining all the power that was suspended
during the Gret uncertainties of the panic. Time,
thereiore, is not wonting against us. Whatever
may be the consequences of delay in the capture of
Delhi, there can be no question that our position has
improved in the interval since General Anson com
menced the march upon that city. Indeed, were it
not for the anxiety lest anything should disturb the
continued loyalty of either the Bombay or Madras
army, or tempt ny neighboring independent States,
riucii ae Nepaul, Burundi or Afghanistan to give us
tr eble, it might be a question whether it would not
be desirable to protract the seige until the city could
be entirely surrounded, and famine and disease had
surrendered it to just’ce.
Whether Gen. Keed, who succeeded to the oom
rnnud of the army before Delhi on the death of Gem
Barnard, is possessed of any of the essential quali
tics of a commander seems a point in doubt. He
was present as a youth at the battle of Waterloo;
in later years he saw active service in the Sutlej,
and was rewarded for bravery at the battle of Fo
rozesbah. He is now more than sixty years of age,
and therefore, like Gen. Anson aud Gen. Barnard,
will want the stamina to resist the effects of climate
to which ihey have already succumbed. lie is sur
rounded, however, by younger and experienced
men, and hence no alarm is entertained of the possi
bility of disorganization ensuing from the want of
efficient leadeia.
The announcement from Delhi, of the 14th of July,
that an attack had not yet been ordered, as 2000
Europeans constituted all the force available for
that purpose is looked upon by some on this side as
if our army before the place had melted away. It
U by others, however, deemed quite consistent with
the aggregate presence of 6.000 or 7,000 men. Os
course, in any absault a sufficient a my must bo
held in reserve to hold their own iu case of failure.

Nothing of very special interest baa transpired in
the Kepublic ot Cocta Rica, except the issuing of
the following proclamation by President Mora, in
reference to Walker’s contemplated invasion of
Central America, and a decree granting to a scien
tific. society of Paris the exclusive privilege of es
tablishing a line of telegraph in Costa Rica :
Jean Rafael More, President of the Republic of
Costa Rica, considering:
That in the United States recruiting is going on
for tbe purpose of invading Central America
again , that \V. Walker being the promoter of
the recruiting ; and that he doeß it without a legal
mission, without a flag and without justice, aud
ouly for the purpose of convulsing Central America
and planting on its soil the slavery of man by man,
which the religion and civilization of the age is op
posed to, and which our laws expressly forbid, that
tor such aids he and those who accompany him
place themselves in the position of pirates.
Dkcrees.—Art. 1. If in an unexpected manner,
and by avoiding the vigilance of the authorities of
the Union, any party of armed men present them

by any of bis agents, aud invade any part of Costa
Rica, or of any of the allied States of Central Ame
rica, with tbe intentiou of possessing themselves ot
all or any part ot them, in the said act of landing
on Ihe shore, they will be considered aspirates, and
as such shall remain beyond the protection of tbe
laws.
Art. 2. All those who have served in the ranks of
Walker cannot return to the republic for any pur
pose, without tne previous permission of ihe Gov
ernment aud those who at i resent reside in the
State shall leave it within thirty days, reckoning
trom the date of tcis decree ; but those who exercise
any honest profession, and conduct themselves
propetly, proving the same to the Chief of Police,
can remain in tbe State, with the previous written
permit which shall be given to them.
Ait. 3. The present decree shall be made known
to tbe governments of tbe other Central American
States, in case they should think proper to adopt it
It shall also be mat e kuown to all the Spanish

Latfr from the Isthmus of Panama —Pana-
ma, Sept 3,1857.—The great feature of interest in
Panama, during the iast fortnight, was the visit of
Com. Paulding, of tbe Home Squadron, accompa
nied by a col ps of scientific officers, the object of
his visit being to explore the route from Aspinwali
to Panama, along the line of tbe Railroad, with the
view of tes.iug its practicability for a ship canal.
The Commodore and his party left Aspin wah early
on the morning oi August 26di, in a special tram of
cars, and arrived at Panama late in the evenmg of
the same day. having taken it leisurely, in order to
make a thorough examination of tbe country
loro ugh wtuek they passed. Next morning a party,
detailed specially for the purpose by Com. Pauiding,
undertook tbe survey ot the harbor of Panama.
Amongst the party was Ueul. Garland, U. S. Navy,
who ai rompamed Lieu:. Strain s expedition to Da
*The result of this expedition under Com. Pauld
ing. is satisfactory in the highest deg Tee. Every
officer connected with it. Ism credibly informtd, is
decidedly of the opinion that an interoceanic ship
canal from Aspinwali to Panama is entirely practi

cles intervening than between any other points on
tbe Isthmus
This exploration having been made by order of
onr Government, may be regarded as no lea im

may be expected.
In regard to the Panama question, bul little is

Panama, Sept IS, 1867.
The must startlicjr uera we have from Peru in the
esa.<?it!atkD of the Hon. 8. 11. Sullivan, the British
Minister at Lima.
The cause of this melancholy affair is not definite
ly known. By some, it is conjectured that he was
murdered on account of the British iuteferenoe iu
the matter of the Tuntbes and
particularly the Peru\ lane, ate desirous of making
it appear that it was the result of an intrigue with a
lady. Toe Government is said to be much alarmed
abuut the affair, and the war steamers Ucalya and
Turubee are going south for President Castilla
The British war vessrl Vixen has been sent to Paita
in starch of Admiral Bruce.
The following account isfrom the Lima Cotnercio,
of the 12th Aug st:
Wiib the most profound regret we announce the
deplorable and scandalous attack made last night
upon the person of 8. H. Sullivan, Eeq.. 11. B. M.’s
Cliarge d’Affaires and Consul General.
At ti o'clock iu the eveuiug, that gentleman was
in a house situated in the street of (the false door o!
the principal tleatre, sitting at table, at dinner, in
company with Mr. Cbeeseman and a lady, with the
door of the saloon shut, when one of his servants,
who was waiting at table, was accosted in tbe lane
by an apparently respectable man. of middle sise,
of dark complexion, with dark whiskers and hair,
who asked to see the Consu ; he was told that it
was impossible at that moment; the man, however,
insisted ; at the repeated refusal of the servant, he
presented a blunderbuss, which he drew from be
neath Vis coat; at the same moment two other men
appeared at the end of tbe iane. whereupon the ser
vant hastily retreated by the door that led to the
dining room, raising an rlarm, and passing to the
saloon, opened the door that led to the court yard,
to look for help, but he was stopped by the armed
men placed there, and oompelltd to hide himself in
the corner of the saloon. The person who had en
tered the dining room by the door of the lane, pass
ing the diniDg room, met Mr. Sulivao face to face,
who, rising up. demanded ‘AVljfit do you want !"
Tht answer was a discharge oi the blunderbuss di
rectly in the groin, aayiDg, “Now I am revenged.”
(ya estoy vengado ) Mr. Cbeeseman received Mr.
Sulivan in his arms, and placed him on a sofa, whilst
the assassin, availing himself of the confusion which
the suddenness of the act caused, and of the smoke
with which the discharge filled the room, fled with
his companions.
The servants immediately raised the alarm and
called for help, which was heard by the policeman
on duty at the corner of “la calle del Huevo,” who
caught one of the men, but unfortunately he was
set upon by the others, and a pistol snapped at him,
of which ‘.he cap missed tire ; the party then fled in
tbe direction of the road to Callao.
A few moments after the unfortunate occurienee
Don Juau Ezeta, chief officer of th; Secretary of
Foreign relations, arrived at the house, who, with
Capt. Matute, of the regiment ot gendarmes, caused
the guard from the theatre, composed cf twenty
four men, to be sent for to keep order. Shortly
afterwards tbe lutendente of Polioe, accompa
nied Commaudantes Cobos, Boquero and other
cfiicisls, arrived, and at the same moment also
the MinL-ter of Foreign Relations, D. Mauuel Za
b alios.
Dr. McLane, Mr. Sullivan's physician, also came
immediately, together with other doctors, who ex
traded three balls, and did eyerything iu their pow
er for the wounded mau.
Strong parties of cavalry and infantry were des
patched to the road leading to Callao, to arrest the
assassins, and telegraphic messages were sent to
Callao for the same purpose, and no means were
left untried to secure the desired end.
The Chief Clerk, and, afterwards, the Minister of
Foreign Relations, interrogated Mr. Sullivan, to as
certain whether lie knew the assassins, or suspected
the cause of the attack; he answered that lie never
had a difficulty with any ono; that he did not think
that lie had a personal enemy ; that he did not
know the motive of the unfortunate affair, and
recommended tho Legation to the Minister, confid
ing to bis honor, and assuring him that what he re
gretted was, to die without having given a proof
of the particular friendship which he entertained
for him.
A reward of three thou, and dollars has been of
sered for such intormat on is will lead to tbs discov
ery and capture of any of the accomplices.
The members oi the diplomatic and consular
corps also mot at the house of Mr. Sullivan, Mr
John Baiton, 11. B Id’s Consul in Callao, having
been the first, he took charge of the house, proper
ty aud arehieves of the Legation, having a strong
guard placed at Ins command.
The council is alarmed, and all the city regrets an
assassination that cannot but affectsociety generally.
The situation of Mr. Sullivan is not only serious
but almost hopeless.
The Callao correspondent of the Star and Herald,
under date of August 12, 3 o’clock P. M., gives the
following rumor;
A Frenchman and a negro have just been arrest
ed on suspicion of being accomplices of the assassina
tion of Mr. Sullivan. There are not thejslighest
hopes of his recovering. It is now reported that the
act was committed by some of the most respectable
persons in 1 ,'nia. However, I will give you the
rumor. It appears a short time ago a ball was given
by one of Ihe leading families in Lima, nnd that
Mr Sullivan took there a well known prostitute that
he has kept a long time as his “mistress, the gentle
men present remonstrated with him, calling his
attention to the fact that it was a gross insult to all
persons present, to which he is said to have replied
that Bhe was as good as auy woman present or in
Lima, and that they were all a set of prostitutes A
reward ot 190 ounces is offered for the apprehension
of the murderers. The steauier will be sea 1 cited by
the Retribution as soon as she gets out of the har
bor.
During the celebration at Callao of the auniversa
rv of Independence of Peru on the2Bth July, some
n*f the officers of tbe castle attempted to get up a
revolution by pronouncing against the Government
Closing the gates of the castle and liberating the
prisoners. During this time the military ar.d civil
authorities were at the church. At 12 M. tLe former
repaired to the castle to fire a national salute in
honor of the day, but on their arrival there found
the gates closed, and were refused admittance un
less they would promise to join the conspirators.
Capt, Smith, who was charged with the duty of
firing the salute, scaled the walls and got possession
of the battery; the troops from the church then en
tered the oastle, and the officers concerned in the re
volt were arrested and placed in irons.
A correspondent of the Panama Star and Her
ald, writing from Callao, uuder date of August 12,
says:
On Saturday last an armed boat was sent on board
the American ship John Millon, by order of tho cap
tain of the port, and forcibly took out three of the
crew, and brought them on shore, and again, on tbe
same day, by the same authority, four others were
taken from the Morning Glory, assigning no other
reason than that of might. The commanders of
these ships have laid their case before Mr. Clay, our
Minister, he has demanded that the men be placed
on board their ships again, and an apology for the
insult to our flag.
Tue Peruvian Government has renewed the mail
contract with the Pacific Steam Navigation Compa
ny for three years, from the 30th of July last.

action has taken place between the Government
forces under President Castilla, and the revolution

Later from California.
By the arrival of the steamship Philadelphia at
New Orleans, we have San Francisco papers to the
20th August.
The Alta California furnishes a summary of the
news from the Golden State, from which we take the
following :
The Settlers’ Convention adjourned on the sth
inet., after nominating Edward Stanly for Governor;
Nathaniel Bennett, lor Supreme Court Judge : A. A.
Sargeant, for Attorney General. and P. M. Randall,
for Surveyor General. The Democratic nominees
for Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller, Treasurer
and State Printer, were endorsed by the conven
tion.
The tickets of tbe foui political parties, vix: De
mocratic, American, Republican and Settlers, are
now all complete, and the various Gubernator al
nominees are “stumping” it throughout tbe State.
The Pitt river Indians in the eastern portion of
S’skiyou county having committed many depreda
tions of late, Lieut. Crook of the United States In
fantry, with a force of twenty-five men, 1 ad chas
tised them so severely that no’ further hostilities are
apprehended. At least twenty five men were kill
ed, and as many more wounded in the engagement
m Big Valley.
The other Indian tribes in the northern part of
tbe State are peaceably disposed, and most of them
are being removed to tbe reservations.
The van of the overland immigration lias at last
crossed the Sierra Nevada, and for tbe last week
trains have been pouring nto this State through the
various mountain pastes. The great muss of muni
grants, however, thus fir, have come via Genoa, in
Carson Valley, aud Plan -rville, aud over the road
now being rapidly unpro ed between Iheee [daces.
All accounts agree as to the great numbers on the
way—more than in any season since 1852. There
is al£o mucL stock en route, and considerable quau
titles have been driven into Carson Valley ir. good
condition.
The immigrants bring startling accounts of the
depredations of tbe Indians beyond tbe Sink of the
Humboldt, aud in the Goose Creek Mountains.—
Many lives are reported to have been lost, but most
of these stories are doubtless exaggerated, as little
evidence of an authentic.character has etbeeu di
vuiged. That tne Indians have, how over, killed
and driven off an nnusual amount of s'oek, is un
deniable as nearly all ot the trains ai riving have
suffered from their depredations.
Owing to the scarcity of water in many portions
of the mining region, our interior exchanges are un
usually barren of items chronicling the receipt of
“ big lumps,” the announcement of “ great strikes, ’
or the opening of ** rich leads. But in quartz min
ing much activity prevails, and in El Dorado coun
ty auriferous veins are being worked which yield
marvellously well, as high in one instance as a dol
lar to the pound of rock, or two thousand dollars to
the ton. This claim is owned by J. R Beard, for
merly Supreme Court Clerk. Extensive flaming op
erations are in progress cn all the mining streams,
but it is yet too early to iearn of the success of these
enterprises.
Throughout the interior tbe heat has been ex

Late and Interesting front Mexico.
The steamship Texas, from Vera Cruz, arrived
at New Orleans on SaturJav last, brirginirg news
t rou the City of Mexico to the let Ills'., and from
\ era Cruz to the nth. W e copy the following sum
mary from the Picayune :
Cp to the 29th ult. all at the capital remained firm
in the conviction of the necessity of open hostilit-ee
with Spain, and of the speedy arrival of tho inva
ding expedition, to meet which everything was pre
pared On that day the telegraph from the English
packet at Vera Cruz brought intelligence the same
as published here, of tbe accepted mediation of
France and England. For a brief period, then, our
neighbors breathed freer, only, however, to be un
deceived in the end.
Another collision between the civil and ece'esias
tioe! Dowers, >f a serious nature, has taken place at
Puebla, growing out of the refusal of the hierarohv
to give burial to Col. Perez, of tbe National Guards
a gentleman very much beloved in the city. The
vaults of the Metropolitan Church were finally open
ed by force of arms, and the head of the diocese
banished. On the 31st, according to a despatch, all
was tranquil again.
Further insults bad been offered to the American
Consul at Mazatlan, growing out of the seizure of
the schooner Ada, whose officers and crew also were
grievously insulted by the authorities.
Anew difficulty had sprung up between tho Go
vernment and the Britisii Charge, growing out of
insults offered to the Bii’ish flag by a mob, during
hie absence at tbe neighboring vi'lage of Taculraya.
Advices from Yucatan to the 31st ult, show the
continued advance of the revolutionists. They had
seized upou numerous other strongly fortified
places in the iuterior, aud it was expected they
would soon have possession of Sisal The Govern
ment forces, as if conscious briheir inability to ad
vance, were quietly encamped at liecelehakan,
some and stance from Campeachy.
The names of the towns which have joined the
revolntionis s in Yucatan, since our last advices di
rect, are Champoton, Ceibacabecera, China, Ham
polol, Lerma, Pocyaxum, Xkeuill, Tixmtcuy, Siho
chac, and Laguna. The expedition against Sisal
consisted of a schooner, the Union, and a steamer
called tho Arrogant. The struggle in the Island of
Carmen was a very bloody one, resulting in the
death of several of the most prominent eilizeus. At
last accounts it was rumored that the Government
party had given up the expediliou to Campeachy,
and were retiring to Merida.
Tte conducts, which arrived at Vera Cruz the Ist
inet., had in charge $1682.416 89 in specie, direct
from the mint. Os this the Euglisk p-cket Solent,
wuieh sailed on the 4th, took out $1,1)67,624 24 ot
which $1,062 S(M was iu silver, and $5,120 in gold
coin. In addition to this, the S. hud on freight $4,000
platiua, $7,225 precious stones, and $7,047 in the
vegetable products of the count!y -a rioh cargo,
whose total value was estimated at $1,186,896 24.
The bark Wildfire likewise cleared on the 28th
ult.. with a large cargo, valued at SBB 368 84, of
which $32,009.34 was iu specie. Adding their
tributes to this and other ports, and the sum total of
the product oft ho Mexican mines during the month
of August, cannot be less than that of auy other
mouth of tbe year.
From a paragraph iu the Progreso, of Vera Cruz,
we learn that the tobacco crop has everywhere
turned out very finely ; in many parts of the coun
try the crop being double that of the last year.
The sudden arrival and presence of Messrs. Ben
jamin, LaSere and Seule, at the capital, gave rise to
all sorts of rumors, not the most absurd of which
was that they bore offers from our government of
$20,000 for Smora. Aud n hat is a little singular,
the rumored negotiation does not seem to have been
looked upon with disfavor; ou the contrary, every
body seemed pleased with tho idea of having so
much spare change iu this hour of necessity, in their
pockets. As to our distinguished citizens them
selves, they were the cynosure of all eyes iu the
public streets aud at the theatre.
The Bank of Mexico is the name of anew mone
tary institution, recently organized at the capital, to
accommodate the growing business ot t o city Its
present capital is $6,060,0110, v. Inch, however, with
the consent of the Government jimy bcjindelinilely
increased at the discretion of the stockholders.
There was a severe shock of an eurlhquake at
the Capital on the 19th lust., which was felt in va
rious and distant parts of the Republic. It was the
rainy Besson,but the general hialth was every
where good.
After the Tebauntepec transit, one of the princi
pal subjects of public interest at the present time in
the neighboring republic, is the projected railroad
between Vera Vruz aud Acapulco, or some point
ou the Pacific ; the exclusive charter privileges ot
which have, by special decree, been granted to
one D Antoni > Escandon, a gentleman of enter
prise and means. The i barter is of a very liberal
character, and it is very probable that this great
work will now proceed with new life and vigor lo
an early completion.
The Lnie Storm—The Steamer Columbia*
Th£ editor of the Charleston Evening News, was
a passenger on board the Steamer Columbia on her
ate trip from Now York to Charleston. We sub
join his account of the terrible storm through which
she passed:
The. Steamship Columbia—The dates. —The
passage of the Columbia from N. York to Charles
ton, where she arrived yesterday afternoon alter
encountering two terrific gales, will ever be re
membered by those on board—yee, remembered in
awe, remembered in wonder, remembered in hum
ble gratitude. In another column they have ex
pressed. as far as expression can properly go, their
sen3o of their deliverance ar.d of the agency to
which they are indebted for it.
It will be observed that we tvere one of those
who passed through the trying and long ordeal, and
one who participated iu those deep and subdued
ferlings which it engendered.
Calmness and quietude appeared to pervade the
manner and looks of the passengers; in fact, on
such an occasion one feels so gathered and inten
sified within , that any outward display of feeling
would be a mockery. The ladieß were all com
posed.
The Columbia left New-York in fine weather on
Wednesday afternoon—met a head wind and rather
rough sea on Thursday and Thursday night—passed
Cape Hutteras on Thursday evening—and we were
nearly, at 10 o’clock on Friday morning, off Frying
Pan shoals. By this time, the wind bad shifted
from the southward, and began to increase to a gale
from E. N. E.; and before IP.M. the noble steam
er had to be brought to a stand, with her Lead to
the tempest, and her engine strained to keep her
steady and from drifti g toward the shore and
breakers—being in about 15 fathoms water. She
gradually worked farther out and obtained ample
sea room, although at a previous good distance.
And now for eighteen hours did that tempest beat
upon her, and a scene continue of the grand, ap
palling, and perilous, beyond description. Not only
were the waves of the greateet magnitude and
wildness, and the wind the most terrible hurricane,
but for hours they came in cross di ref t ions, the sea
from S. E., giving the ugliest croEs sea, find subject
ing us to the double danger of swamping and cap
sizing At 10 p. M the wind veered to E. S. E,
and reach id its height, but the seas thus more fully
in its direction. Until 2A. M., the climax of the
terrible power of both prevailed, then slowly abated,
and at 5 o’clock A. M,, Saturday, the wind was
down, leaving us on immense rolling waves.
Thus ended the first gale. For a few hours, al
though the reveree storm was expected by some, all
parties became cheerful and partook of breakfast.
At 9 A. M.the wind, having shifted to the West and
North or landward, was in a few minutes the most
driving hurricane we have ever seen or conceived.
It prostrated the awful seas which had come from
the broad ocean, and appeared to swesp its surface
along in spray and foam with lightning power and
velocity. For five hours it exhibited net even abate
ment enough to mark squalls—it was one great
squall. Under it the sea gradually increased, ad
■vriicn at last the wind became more fitful, it had
l eached a surging power that made every timber
quiver, although the ship took it lengthwise and on
her bow. Iu the mean time the gale had veered to
the southward, thus gave us another erdeal of a
cross sea, and as our gallant commander called it—
an “ugly sea.” Between 4 and 8 P. M., it was
fearful. From then until after midnight a gradual
“cessation of horrors” took place, exhausted pas
sengers sunk to a fitful sleep, and woke at dawn
of Sunday to find a gentle breeze, a pacified ocean
and a clearing sky—to find themselves safe and
bearing for Charleston, with gratitude to God in
their hearts, and wonder at their deliverance. For
forty-two hours they had borne the most painful
suspense, and for tinny tnree iiad been iu the ex
tremist peril.
The gale must have Len a circular hurricane
through which the Columbia passed, or which rather
passed over her peai ion. The outer portion of this
whirl took her in one direct ioD, then its centre be
ing more or less still or vacuous enveloped her in
the few* hours’ lull, and again the opposite aide
str king her from still other directions produced the
second storm, and turned her prow to all points of
the compass in her struggle for preservation.
We have had representations of storms at sea iu
language and by picture. We recognized the fidel
ity, however exagg-rat and and wild. But the reality
went tar beyond. No one can realize the terrific
grandeur of a sea tempest, who is not iu it. No
one can approach to a conception of the appalling
to the extent of sublimity whose life is not at haz
ard on the wide mountainous raging of an ocean,
under the hissing blast of a hurricane, and with
every sense awakened by and fastened upon the
terrors of the scene. In its midst, one wonders how
the tiriu air can throw into such a boundless loan a
dense and vast ocean, and more than all, he stands
in amazement that any ship, however large cr
managed, can possibly bear the pitching to which
-be is subjected. She appears t o be n it. only as a
feather to'the raging elements, bat as a speck to the
bounds of their strife. As far at the eye can reach,
when looking up from the trough of the sea, the
ocean appeals to be liqnidized mou otains tossing to
gether, in a wide expanding range.
And what shall we say of our commander, Cant
Berry, whom we are proud to call a friend ? We
cannot believe that a more thorough seaman walks
the deck of any vessel afloat II: bandied his ship
in the most masterly maimer—an indecision or a
mistake must have lost her. He not only saved
her, but he saved her sound. We olten wondered
that he could keep her so steady—*o much at cast
lo hertetf. Instant by instant, hour by hour, day
and night, he stood aloft in the pilot house, watch
ing each sea and directing every stroke of the en
gine and every turn of the wheel Whatever our
direction or position, he took care to assure himself
that the ship had sea room and sufficient depth of
water. He carefully avoided exposing his passen
gere and freight to the “ship.iugof the seas."—
With a mind clear, original and well balanced,
with a thorough proficiency in hts profeseion, with
the meet enduring purpose and ready resource, be
calmlv and sell wrapped, managed his ship. Yet
nothing seemed to eclipse hi3 eye. Prudent and
vigilant, he seemed to anticipate, and then boldly
to execute all. During all his labors, anxiety and
deprivations, ue was cheerful, confident, and seem
ed to have no doubt of the result, yet unflagging
to secure it. Whenever a lull permitted, which
was but twice or thrioe. he deecendtd to the cabins
to look after the comfort of his passengers, and to
iostil them with hie calmness and assurance of safe
ty. Bet he watched over bis ship at if ilte vat hit
darling. And she deserved it; for she proved her
self a superb sea boat. Nor could we fail io come
to the conclusion that steam is the best power
whereby to-guide. save, and preserve from injury a
ship in a 3torm. The control is such that a sea can
be avoided, or taken slowly as to avoid such a dash
ing into it as must founder the vessel. Bhe can al.-o
be kept at rest and avoid the action of two positive
forces in cofiiseion.
Statu Road. —No question of State policy occu-
Siee the minds of the mountain people so mochas the
tate Railroad. They are truly becoming awaken
ed to the grose frauds and political corruptions that
are being daily practised upon this Road which
should be the pride and glory of our noble State
That they should place tlieir seal of Condemnation
upon the wbol s concern is Dot at all aurprieii gto
us. when we reflect that in addition to the charges
made that it is an eating moth upon their pockets—
when the prom ise has been made from year to year
since its completion that they should be relieved
from taxation, save only a nominal sum, and an
overflowing Treasury would be the consequence.
But, how stands the cate ? Instead of an over
flowing Treasury the State is in debt, and the peo
ple ere yearly being taxed to keep up the Read. It
is true the Road makes money--this is manifest to
the most careless observer—hut it is also evident
that the same does not reach the public Treasury, or
a different state of things would exist It is this
state of .acts that make the mountain boys, who
get tbeir support by the sweat of their brow, cry
aloud to sell, at least, two thirds of the Road, end
place tne same from under Executive management
It is right and we are glad to see it, and we trust the
tide will strengthen aa the day grows older, and hope
that every voter who entertains the disposition of
this pocket monster will show his faith by hi. works

Tht* Srorm.
One w ould scarotslj realize from t-hu? blight and
pleasant morning, tiiat one of tbo severest storms of
wmd a ii rain, experienced here foe several years
paei, had but just?pent its fun*. As stated in Sat
uraay s issue, the wind whieh, during the whole of
the day previous, had been pr'iaty, incr&tsed as the
night came on, aud during tho whole >i the night
and throughout the next day aud night, blew with
tf'eat violence. It ©ached its height duiihg the
evening Ot Saturday, when, as the sailors say, it
bew great guns.” Immense quantities if rain fell
during fcrtday, Saturday aud yesterday, as a const*
queuce, tue water courses, ponds, creeks, te.. were
swollen to an unusual extent, and m.u \i damage
was done by overflows, carrying away jfbridges,
bridge at Green's mill pond was upruott-d
and th3 dam was broken iu three places. A small
bridge ou the old New-Berne road, just beyond the
limits ot town, was also swept away, and injury
was done to two of the briagea on the plank road,
but not of a sufficient character to interfere with
travel.
Here, in towu, the effects of the storm are appa
rent in the number of trees and of branched uoroot
e<4, twisted off ami scattered about (he different
■iireets Many tenoes have been blown down, and
some snglr damage done to houses. There is uo
serious injury however.

uour Saturday afternoon, but such was the violence
[I Z £ ale “V 4 * fl he was forced upon the beach be
low (Jrton, waere she remained in safety until yes
terday afternoon, when she was towed oft’ by the
steamer Henrietta, which had been despatched to
her assistance. She then proceeded to Smithvilie
aU rp, returnet *. a * ei usual hour here this morning.
Ahe tram irom ;he North due in the evening of
-he same day, arrived at about tbe usual hour, but
could not reach the shed where passengers are lan
ded, in consequence of heavy drifts of sand near the
the side ot the hill just beyond the depot
buildings. The immense rains swept largo quanti
ties ot sand over the lails, aud the passage of the
cars was blocked. The passengers by this train re
mained where they were during the night, and iu
the morning, when the violence of the storm had
abated, left their temporary betel for more comfort
able quarters.
Ou the sea coast the gale was terribly severe,—
Down at Wrightaville Sound tho waters ot the sea
owept over the dift’ereut sand-banks and maishes,
covering them all. The scene is represented to have
been grand. It looked as though the ocean, lashed
to fury by the winds, was oareering onward iu irre
eiatible billows to the main laud. The tide, of course,
rose b; a very unusual height, and swept away, like
chaff, several of tbe bathing and boat houses, of the
resident inhabitants. Boats were washed out of
these latter and landed high on the shore. Trees
aud fences were blown down. Tho ‘‘Ocean House ’
situated ou the Banks next to tho sea, that spot ren
dered famous as the scene of tho Esquimaux, was
carried by the relentless waves, and we suppose the
fragments thereof, if not landed at distant points,
are drifting about ou voyages of discovery. Ttiis
Ocean HoU*e, now that it is gone, we 4eel bound to
say, was not a hotel, as some of the Northern papers
faucied, but a small tenement of wood, having ore
room and no more ; and it was situated on a sma'l
hill not far from the sei, aud was used for bathing
purposes by the “Bounders.” There is many a
pleasant recollection connected with it ; for al
though it was a rough structure, yet many fine
things happened therein and thereabout—incidents
U> make the time pass pleasantly and the heart to
feel glad.
ft he damage to the shipping on the coast, We
tear, has been verj extensive. The loss of the bark
Colin Mcßae, a now aud beautiful vessel, owned
principally here, is especially to be regretted. She
had but just reached the baron her homeward trip
Iroin England, and, in endeavoring to ride out the
gale, parted chains uud went ashore.
ft’he gaV does not seem from accounts received to
have extended tar into the interior. Passengers by
ihe Northern train felt but little of the storm north
of Goldsboro’ ami by the Southern train, about Fair
Bluff seems to have been its limit.
By the boats from Fayetteville we learn that the
effects of the blow were not experienced severely
above Elizabeth. Below this point tho low ground
crops of corn, &c , are seriously injured.
We cannot tell what damage the rice crop has
RUKtaiuc-d, but hope that it is but slight.
The blow commenced at Northeast, aud veered
round North,Northwest, West, Southwest—at which
point it spent its fury ; and yesterday, after a sJrw
ery aDd windy day, the efoudfl broke away at sun
set, and all was calm again.
\ New City-on ibo Pacific Cont.
Oajaca, August 20,1867.
Eds. Pic. —As you hav** at all Limes taken much
noiice of everything about the .Tehuantepec route,
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, it occurs to me
that it may be interesting for the public to become
acquainted that a respectable citizen of San Fran
cisco, California, Mr. L F. Mey* rs, has created con
siderable sensation in thin city, in oonf.cquenc* of
having acquired the right of building a city at Ven
tosa Bay, where the road wiil teimiiiato on the Pn
ciic side.
Mr. Meyers has made satisfactory arrangements
with the proprie ors of the laud which forms the port
of Ventoaa, and has purchased a square league,
whereon to build the efty of Conmnfoit—havi* g at
the same time entered into arrangements with the
authorities of the Stare and Gencrwl Government by
which the settlers will enjoy advantages never be
fore obtained in this country. Mr. Meyers is the
only person who oouid have settled things ou such
favorable terms ; as besides a thorough knowledge
of the locality, having been many years a resident
at Tehuantepec, his connections are most extensive
and respectable, for he counts among his friends the
most influential people in this State.
The place fixed upo . for the city is extremely
well chosen. Laving a fine river running through it.
and is considered a most, healthy place, fevers being
quite unknown there, and the country being the
most fertile in the world.
People here are beginning to inquire for lots, and
I have been informed that several of the principal
houses in the city of Mexico have given orders for
purchases, but 1 have heard Mr. Meyers does not
intend to open his sales till October next. He is
nov/ about to return to California.
What consideiably enhances the importance of
thirf splendid enterprise ia the discovery in tlieneigh
borhood of Ventosa of some moat extensive coal
mines, which are about to be opened, there being
here at present a commission of scientific gentle
men, on their way to commence opeivuiouH for ac
count of some foreign houses in the city of Mexico.

Term* of Lli Tehuantepec .Settlement.
Veka Chiu, Aug. 7, 1857.
By express, just arrived in thirty six hours from
the capital, we learn that, the Tehuantepec nego
tiators have been successful—an arrangement hav
ing been signed day before yesterday, granting all
or nearly all asked for by them. The Sloo and Ga
ray grants are both entirely ignored, and the affair
is placed on a perfectly new and independent
basis—the privilege to last for sixty years, and the
Government to have but 15 percent, of the profits.
The Government refused, point blank, however, to
concede any territory further than shall be abac
lutely necessary to the road.
This vexed question beiDg settled, Mr. Forsyth
can now proceed quietly upon his diplomatic nego
tiations. That Mexico will sell land at present is
highly improbable. Indeed, Comonfort is pledged
and sworn not to do so, and the least manifestation
on his part to that effect will—especially about these
times, (anew constitution and Congress to be in
augurated on the ICth inst.) —will raise a row about
his ears, which he will find it not easy to allay.
We have no very interesting local news. The
vomito has very much abated since my last, and it
is to be hoped quarantine will deal leniently wiih
the Texas. lam told the c inmander of that ship
refuses now to take passengers now who do not make
affidavit at the U. S. Consulate of having bad yellow
fever or vomito. This is all very well, but’ rather a
hard case for unfortunates who come down from the
interior expressly to embark iu the Texas. They
have either to go back beyond vomito regina,orstay
here till they get it. However, ’tin not the fault of
the captain. He is compelled to adopt this course
on account of the manner in which quarantine laws
are enforced on the other side of the Gulf.
I am afraid there’ll b-* some “hard swearing,” but
to submit to the alternative were scarcely less than
felo de se —wh’ch is ralher worse thau perjury under
dureas. By the way, the only “epidemic” we have
had here this season has been a most unaccounta
ble propensity to commit suicide ; there having
been a doztn cases in as many days It appears to
he both “epidemic” and “infectious ” Why doesn't
the Health Officers at your Quarantine make the
passengers from Vera Cruz swear they have had
the disease ?— Cor. N, O Picayune.

the road to Ailygurh unul the fid Jay o: July, when
a regiment of cavalry belonging tollie Gwalior Con
ti; gstit and a battery of guus mutinied, they were
bttwoMU our little baud and Agra. Capt. Burton
(since died of cholera,) gave us iufornatiou; our ,
only hope was to get into Agra, a distance of Id j
miles, but we were obliged to leave tk read, and |
make our way across the country. We started at
- A. M. on the mowing of 3d, snd after a ride of 00
miles arrived at Kuneowiie, 10 mil, j from Agra.—
W e halted tin re fora few hours and then came into
Agra, proph* there rather alarmed, but, a* we sup
poM-d. everything quiet. At that time Ihe Kotuh
Contingent, 700 men iu all, cavalry, infantry, and it
battery of six guns were in Agra, and wire consider
ed staunch.
About half-past 5 in the afternoon we heard a tu
mult aud guns firing close 1 went out to learn the
••aase, and was told by an officer who was passing
t ivt tue Kotali Contingent had muliuied and gone
off to the insurgents. Agra was thus left clear of
auy native regiments, and left with oue infantry
regiment, tlo 3d Europeans, and one European bat
ttry ot guns; peoplo were of course alarmed, but
still thought the fellows were gone off clear, when
the intelligence came that a large force was moving
on Agra. On the morning of the sth of July the
aew* was confirmed , they were only some five miles
away when it was determined (wisely or not it* a
question not to be mooted now) to go out and meet
th 6i. The old leaven rose whlnu me, and 1 <•-
oomph mod them. (>ur force consisted of about teO
European Infantry ana one battery of guns, the in
lantry coiniutinded by Col. Riddell, and the artillc
*> bv tlie ga'danr C.tpfa'Tii D’Oyly; tho mutineer*’
force consisted of 4,000 infantry, 1,300 cavalry, and
II gun?—frightful odds.
1 must also add that we had on our side many
mounted volunteers, gentlemen of iheeiv’i service,
4 /llian.i of the station, ar.d the officers of the 14. h
acd 67tli Regiments of Native infantry, regiments
that have been disbanded, ami tlmir arms taken
away. We left the parade about II iu the morn
ing, and had not proceeded more than two miles
when we heard of the enemy. We arrived on en
open plain, and fouud the enemy in position behind
a village, their gun-Hanking the village,their caval
ry. again flanking the guns . cur little fivee formed
aline wi h three guns on each flank, those on the
right flank commanded by Capt D’Oyly and the
ett by Capt. Pearson. We advanced thus wi hiu
Leif a mile of them, when they opened the ball with
a round shot from their left battery ; our one regi
ment, ti.e 3 i European, got the order to lie down,
the gum uulimbcred, and then tho fight comm meed
in earnest l 4 roiu my owu experience l can sa\
nothing, but tr m that of others it was a hard ficht
*f artillery for at least two hours, when oue of the
♦umbrils of the left battery [ours) blew up ; the
fiend* attempted a cheer, which dissolved iteelf into
a yell. One of tbe guns was thus disabled.
They threatened us then with a charge of caval
ry, but they were immediately stopped by a rattling
voiley from the 3d Euiopeune. AfUra little more
artillery practice the line got the word ‘Advance,’
aud gallantly they did it, under a heavy fire of ar
tillery and Infantry, the mutinied 72d regiment of
Native iaf mtry Laving their rifle company iu the
village picking our poor fellows off'; but they paid
dearly tor it afterwards ; a rush was made on the
village, and it was carried nnd surrounded. We
were still to be unfortunate, for another tumbril in
the left battery was blo*n up; we therefore had
only four guns, and, strange to say, no fimmu ii
t on, for the ariilley, by some—what shall Isay’
mistake, oversight—well, never mind what—no
spare ammunition had been brought out. ft’hus we
had carried the village, driven them from then 4 po
► irion, and then no ammunition ! Os course, inline
diately they found their artillery was not answered
they kn?w there was something wrong with us, and
advanced upon their olrt position
We had to retire under a heavy lire, -aud threat
ened on each wide by their cavalry; but the foil ws
had not the pluck to attack uh even then; they
made several attempts, but a volley always spnt
them to the right about. We arrived safely at the
fort, aud immediately afterwards the work of do
Htruction commenced. Tho budi .ashes (Indian
thieves) immediately began to plunder. Bungalow.-*
on every side were set on fire ; cue continued blaze
tbe whole night. 1 went out the next morning;
ft was a dreadful sight indeed ; Agra was destroyed
—churches, colleges, dwelling houses, barracks,
every’lung buri.t 1 lost everything I possessed in
the w. rlu ; but we are all in the same boat. Tim
enemy were sutii-fied with their licking ana went
quietly off*: and hero we are. we can’t go out—no
place to go to —nothing to do but to wait for assin
tance, which Ido trupt we shall receive soon. I an*
eo ry to say oar casualties wer* heavy.
The Artillery had one officer, Captain D’Oyly,
wounded, a gallant fellow, riuce dead, four men kill
cd, lb wounded 3d Europeans—3B men killed. 62
wounded, 3 officers wounded. Clv'-l Lines Mount
ed Militia—s gentlemen Killed, I officer and X gen
tlemen wounded. Civil Line- Militia lu r antry—l
gentlemen killed n wounded ; unattached officers,
5 wounded. Total number killed or since dead, 4ft;
wounded, ftl -a very heavy loss considering our
small number..! This is u true account of the battle
of Shabguuge, and I thank God I escaped, although
two or three times very narrowly. Well, l trust we
shall have our day.
It appears however, that the mutineers were as
much ueaten &p the English troops, for after destroy
ing the place, they made a fall re treat in another
dire:lion. Another officer gives the following ac
count of the same tig >t.
Next day the enemy advanced to within three
miles of us, and 600 of the 3d and D’Oyly’r battery
went out, 1 with then* They were very strongly
posted at a village. We came within five hundred
yards, and then the infantry wrere ordered tc lie
down aiiu our guns, three on each flank, opened.—
This continued for three hours, during which their
cnvalry (we had none but a few volunteers) came
at us everol tune , aud once charged through us
from the rear, very near ‘boning’ me. As I was
on a gray mare, I presume I attracted notice. You
never heard such firing : the sbrapnell shells, Yp iod
shot, and grape, to say nothing of hundreds of mus
ket balls, were flying about our ears as tUck as
hail. I was with our battery when they blew up
two of our tumbrils and dismounted pne of our thtee
guns.
What a cheer they gave! Then from behind the
village out dashed a party of cavalry. Up jumped
a company of the third aid gave them a volley,
which emptied half their saddles, an 1 tent them to
the rightabout.
At length tbe order was given to assault the vil
lage in two columns. I went with the left one.—
What a peppering wc got! 1 don’t know how on
earth so few were killed. Well, wc drove them
fiom the village and spiked ;i gun. I saw this wu.’
the time, and galloped back to tell the Brigadier
they were flying in confusion He ordered me in
stantly to bi ing up the guns. I went, but, alas! not
a round of ammunition remained.
I certainly thought that we were done, and th it
not a man would reach Agra alive. Os course we
retreated at once, they walking into us with a six
pounder as we went, Thomas, the Major of tho
third, was shot at the village. Poor D’Oyly was
mortally wounded ; many others were done for.—
Altogether, we lost one man in six.
Wc passed straight through the cantonments Into
tbe fort. Boon all the splendid barracks and houses
were in a flame, but we were left unmolested. All
the women and children are safe in the fort.
I am now a commissariat officer and precious hard
work I have of it.

I've already fairly killed with my sword oe!ween2o
and 30 of them, besides having cut down a good
many more. My only wound .f consequence ia n
p.word cut in the left arm, which I received when
storming a village on foot. The fellow fought we!!,
but I at length killed him with a blow which nea-ly
cut his head in two.
This wa* on the let mutant, juat before our regi
ment mutinied I wae veryaavage that day Ju‘<t

foi# more. They knocked over the only So war
who was with me with aort of buttle axe. 1 had
one pistol with me with which I blew the head of
one of them to pieces, and then turned and run ; but
my foot elipped, and down 1 came. Luckily, I was
up again before they could polish me off; but I felt
too done to run any more, so I turned on them and
wounded two in a moment To my intense delight
they ran off, but were met by some Sowars, hunting
for my, and ah killed
India is lobe reconquered. There is no denying
that, we have lost it. All at Cawnpore have been
killed after a gallant tig I it. Perhapa the same wi i
happen here. Jf the mutineers bring up the i iege
train from Gwalior we are done. Hut they if are
unable to cross the Chuinbai we snail, I hope, be
able to hold out till reinforcements arrive.
The Bil©e of Dklhi.— The following letter is
from Muj *r Alexander II Cobbe, 87th If. 1. R,
serving at Delhi ph volunteer :
“Camp before Du hi, July HI.
Our communication now is via Lahore, Mooli n
and Bombay, and not through Agra, as formerly,
the roads below Delhi being no longer open or safe.
We are still ‘sitting’ before this *ity, and do not
know what the ptar.p of the campaign are—whether
we are to watt for reinforcements expected no
from the South or to attack the placs and take it by
assault.
The latter ought to have been adopted some deys
ago. but I think the former plan is the one that will
be pur. uad; and if the European troops which are
said to be marching up are near. undoubtedly it
will be the wiser plan Not one Hindostanee fiepoy
can be trusted. The Sikhs and Ghgprk&p (hill men,
chiefly from Nepaul,) a*, well as the Funjabee
irregular troops, are the only native troops w* enn

TUB IMBUE CATASTROPHE AT SKA!
LOSS OK THE CFNTRAI AMERICA
laHEO!
We have to chronicle one of the moat terrible dis
j asters ou record—the loss of the California Steamer
i Central America, with all on board, except 49 men
i sad tho worn in and children. The following par
tit ulars were written out at s a by a passenger who
was saved, and with four others, was transferred
from the Norwegian brig to the bark Saxony, and
arrived iu this port this morning :
At sea, Slept. 12, 1857, on board bark Saxony, from
Boston, Capt. Smith, bound to Savannah :
Editors Savannah Republican:
Gents:—Below please observe description of the
loss of the steamer as seeu by me ou board.
We left Havana Tuesday, September 8 th, having
had delightful weather and calm sea from Aspin
wall. In the afternoon of day of sailing from Ha
vana hau u fresh breeze, and on Wednesday morn
ing blew very sfiong. The gale continued and at
night whs stilt increasing and rained in torrents, and
on Thursday it blew a hurricane—sea very high
continued. Friday, the storm raged with unaba
ting fury. At about 11 o'clock, A. M., it was first
known among the passengers that the steamer had
sprung aleak and was making water fast. A line
was formed and men went to work bailing from her
engine room, tLe fires having been already extin
guished by the water We gained on it so much as to
be able to get up steam again, but she held it but a
lew minutes and stopped then forever. Bailing
continued iu all parts ot the ship and was kept up
until she finally went dowu. During Friday night
the water gamed gradually, but all being iu good
spirits worked 10 the best of their ability, feeling
that when morning caune we might possibly speak
some vessel and then be saved. The fatal Satmuay
came at last, but brought nothing but increased
fury. Still we worked on, aui about 2 o'clock P.
M. the otorm lulled a little, and the clouds broke
away ; hope was renewed and all worked like
giants.
At 4 P. M. we spied a sail aud fired our gnus,
.tuti oui flagjwart at naif mast; it was seen aud the b ig
“ Mann •” of B >sleii boro down upon us ; wo then
considered onr safety certain. She came uear, aud
we sp ki to her and told our cjnditijn. She
layed by at about one mile distance, acp we iu the
only three boats tittved placed ah the women and
children, and they wore safely put on board of the
brig. Solar so good—but evening was fimt ap
proaclcug, and we discovered another sail who saw
us and responded to our cull and came near us.—
Capt. Herndon told our condition, and asked them
to lay by us and send a boat, jih we had one left
She promised to do so, but it was the last we saw of
her, exoept at a distance, which grew greater everv
mom nt. At 7 o clock we saw no possibility ut
Keeping her afloat much longer, although if tve
could cto so until morning, nil would bo saved. Iu
n short time a heavy sea, for the fir t tune. orrv^ e
over her upper deck and hope faded away. Life
preservers were supplied to all, and we sen’ up two
rockets. A tremendous sea swept over us and the
steamer in a moment went dowu, aud 1 tbiuk seine
HMtor 150 souls were launched upon the ocean at
’nt mercy of its waves (the storm at this time had
entirely subsided) we all kept near together, aud
went as the waves u*. There was nothing or
\c v lit tie fcaid, cxcepl each one cheered Ins fellow
dorado on, and courage was kept up for two or
time hours, and I think for that snacecf time none
had drowned; but those who oould not awiui be
came exhausted, and one by one gradually parsed
into eternity. l-lopo that boat* wou dbo seut to us
from i he two vessele whom we hau spoken soou tied
l.cir: u.’, and our trust was alone in Providence, and
what better tinst could you or I ask for.
1 saw my fellow comrades fa t linking and at one
o’clock tliii’ night I was nearly aloneupuu the ocean
.some 200 miles from land. I however beards shouts
(r.*m all that could do so, that wero not far fr-m me
but I could not see them. Wi'hin au hour from

from in?. Tekng fresh courage I struck cut for th b
vessel and reached it when ueaily exhausted, but

these are all I know of tavi’ g been saved. Wa
stayed about the. place until we though that all
alive had been rescued, and then set sail. We found
the hark short of provisions a.id the crew living on
gruel—we had some teu and coffee to refresh our -

.Democratic Nominations.— The following isthe
full ticket nominated by the Neiv York State Demo
cratic Convention:
Fur Secretary of State, Gideon J. Tucker, of New
York , for State Treasurer, Isaac V. Vanderpoel, of
Buffalo ; for Comptroller, {Sanford E Church of
Orleans; for Attorney General, Lyman Tremain, of
Albany ; for Canul Commissioner, John M. Jaycox,
of Syracuse , tor Slate Prison Inspector, Win. C.
Rhodes of Elmira; for Judge C’t of Appeals, Hiram
Demo, of Utica ; f>r Slate Eng. and Surveyor, V.
R. Richmond,ot Wayne.
A strong effort waft made by the Mayor Wood
faction of the Convention io defeat the nomination
of Judge Deuio, because lie had decided that the
law of the Legislature establishing the Metropolitan
Polioe Commission. Ex Governor Seymour then
addressed the Convention in an earnest aud maniy
speech in favor of the nomination of Judge Denia
lorJudge of i lie Court of Appeals, aud Mayor Wood
in a bitter acrimonious speech opposed it. In the
course of this speech he said t
“He would hold no Judge responsible politically
for liia opinions expressed judicially ; but when a
Judge, who holds Lis position from the gift of the
Democracy, makes dceit.ioiie hostile and repugnant
to the principles of the Democratic party he would
abk i. ne could be considered a D*-morat7 ICriee
of “Oh 1 yes he can,” and “no, no.”] When a Judge
presents himself for party nomination it3 is surely
proper to ask his opinion upon a question drawing
o deep aline between a Federal party and the
Dc inocracy It isight to look into his acts, speeches
and opinions to find the position he occupies. He
v as prepared to see tie nomination of Judg* Deuio
m.iUe ia this Convention, bat he was hero to prg
te-t against it on behalf of the Democracy oi tie
City ot New York. He was here to say lhai if they
made that nomination they woull look iu vain for
10,000 of a majority from New York City. He
would vote for him himself if nominated, but it isau
inexpedient, ffnpoltiio and improper nomination.
It was a nomination nor fit to be made.”
Me wua replied to by Mr Peck bam* who remark’
ed at the conelu ion of hio address ;
“llu had acted with Mayor Wood on mo&t ques
tions which CKtiifi belor** the convention, but could
n*.t, in this. He and and not believe the convention were
prepared to cast a Judge aside b cause he diffeiad
from the Democracy of the bt at© on a question of
law. He proceeded to argue that the ques f ion ol
the constitutionality of the lew had no relation to
iUi m rita, saying that he might as well attack soon
stable for the service of a process as Judge Detilo
for his judicial opinion ou tbi< iaw.
‘lndeed, the decision given against his own friends,
and with the knowledge that it would exoite their
opp sit ion, was a proof of bis noneety and Integrity.
Democrats, lie believed, were not prepared to re
gard the independence of the judiciary in such a
I ghtusiosay to ibe Judges—‘you decided on our
* do, cm the prohibitory law. Then yog were all
right. Hut you and cide against us on the police, and
u<iw yon are wrong.’ (Jurbr.ucK can never §land
t s tuck hr the ted. iio man whh self-r speot would
accept judicial office, if told “when you de ide with
the Democratic party you arc worthy, ana whon
against i you are unworthy.” Yet this was the
character Maye r Wood w-u!d give to the Judi
cu ry. He concluded by mgmg the nomioation of
Judge Denio as every way honor .tie and fit to te
mads.
‘•Hiram Denio, &elah B Strong and John Willard
were then put in nomination On the first ballot
Ju Ige Denio received G 7 out of 117 votes, a major
ity of all the votes in the convention, whereupon
Mayor WoocHartmediately moved that the nomina
tion be made unanimous. The gtat© ticket being
thu completed, the event was signaled by th© firing
of cannon, and the convention eoon afterward ad
Jquriied flint die.
A Ditovt litihH I3ri.Ls.-~The following was writ
ten bats a century ago by Sir Hov e Roche, a mem
ber of the Irish Parliament. The letter waa address
ed to a friend i London, and it is old enough to be
at- -v to nine out of ten readers:
My Dkar Sir : Having now a little peace and
quit-tlWs. I sit down and inform you of tue dread
ful buiiie and confusion we are all in from thos-;
blood-thirsty rebels, most of whom arc, thank God,
killed and dispersed. We are in a pretty mess;
Van g%t nothing to eat, nor any wine to drink, ex
cep? whiskey , and when we il down to dinner we
are oblighed to keep both hands armed. While I
writ© this 1 hold a sword in each hand and a pistol
in tb© other. ~ ...
“I concluded from the begiuair g that thi- wou.d be
-the end of it, and I see I was right; for it is not half
over yet. At present there are such goings on that

-.lore nor any drums except bagpipes.
• Immediately every man in the place, including
me n, women and children, ran out to meet them.
Wi- soon found our force much too little; we were
tor-near to think of retreating. Death waa in eve
ry face; but at it we went, and began to be alive
again. Fortunately the rebels baa no guns but pis
tola and pikes,, qufl as we had plenty of muskets
aud ammunition, we put them all to the sword Not
j i: soul of them escaped, except some that were
drowned in the adjacent bogs, and in a very short

After the action we went to rummage a sort ot
cairtp which they had left behind them. All we
found waa a few p'kes without heads, a percel of
empty bottles of water, and a bundle of Frenoii
commissions filled with Irish ne ues. Troope are
now stationed all around the country, which exactly
squares wi.h my ideas I have only time to add
that I am in a great hurry.
“ p, S.— If you do uot receive this, of oourse it
