I mutineers of the band Bengal N. 1., we learn from official
intelligence, posted themselves at Kelingar to oppose the
march of the Kamptee column from Thumh to jubbalpere
The mutineers were found marching up the road in column
of sections. Our" guns opened upon them and swept
through them, putting them into utter confusion. They
were followed up for five miles. The guns, after stopping
to unlimber, fired a few rounds of grape. The cavalry,
rifles, and infantry all combined in cutting them up.
Some were made prisoners, and executed. They
are said to have lost 125 men. Lieutenant Macgregor
has been murdered by them ; his body was found near
Kalinger. On our side Lieut. Watson, one trumpeter,
and two or three camp followers, wounded. The officer,
slightly. Now that the blood feud has been established
between the Madrassers and Bengalees, a coalition becomee
almost an impossibility. Had General WoodbUrn allowed
the 25th N.I. to fire upon the mutineers at Arungabad, a
similar feeling of deadly enmity would have been excited
between the Bombay and Bengal armies. The opportunity
was, however, lost; and we are now experiencing the
fruits of the fated mistake. The defeat of the 52nd was
most complete, and the conduct of the Madras soldiers
meritorious in the extreme.
