LONDON. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 9.

Ws have heard for a long while of the difficulty
which attends the maintenance of the strength of
our Indian army, sad, judging from experience,
we must expect to hear more of the same subject.
As long as the countless native population of
India was regarded as affording good and
sufficient material for our army in that country,
no anxiety was felt : untold millions of pas.
sible soldiers were ready to our hands, and we
had only to select those which were most suitable
for our purpose. When the mutiny broke out the
re. action from that blind confidence which had done
so much to produce it led many of our statesmen
unduly to depreciate the Sepoy, and no words were'
found too violent to be applied to those who euggested
that, probably, the native soldier was in 1857 what
he always had been ; that we had only ourselves to
blame if, having given him credit for virtues im-
possible to a man in his position, we had been dis-
appointed ; that perhaps we had not made the best
use of him ; and that, at any rate, his assistance
could not be dispensed with. Much of the irra-
tional and exaggerated feeling which prevailed six
or seven years ago has disappeared before the sober''
teaching of experience. We practically acknow-
ledge that we cannot do without a very large
Dative army, by keeping up a force of somewhere!!
about 150,000 native soldiers. This is only about
one half the number we formerly maintained,
while the European army in India has been
doubled : so that the native foram has more than
ever en auxiliary character. We are now told
that the irregular organization which we have
always found moat suitable for native troops is
becoming impracticable, owing to the want of offi-
cers possessing the tact and force of character
which are indispensable to the command of irre-1
guise troops. The public will be surprised to hear
this statement. It is a new thing to be told that
when any work of whatever description is to be
done there are not Englishmen to be found capable'
of doing it. We believe nothing of the kind. Let
the I ndianGovernment only state what qualifications
it wants, and be ready to recompense them in an
adeqnste manner, and it may reckon upon having
them in abundance. The art of raising and command-
ing native soldiers for India is a truly English art,
and if we have forgotten it we bad better relearn it
with the least possible delay. These complaints CONTIDNILITZ CRIIIBIDS.
