LOI'DON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1848.

Lieutenant, or, as he must now be designated,
Major EDWARDES, is rapidly confirming his reputation
as a military commander of precocity and genius, as
well as of courage and enterprize. Our last dis-
patches from Hindostan, published in our impression
of Monday 4-ening, detailed the brilliant victory
gained by this distinguished officer on the Ist of
July at the village of Sadoosam. The success of
that enooten ter is the realization of the hopes inspired
by the result of the important battle fought by his
extempore forces on the anniversary of Waterloo.
The aggregated power of the troops under Major
EDWARDIAS himself, under Colonel CORTLANDT, and
under the Oriental auxiliary, the Nawaub of Baha-
wulpore, conquered, not partially but conclusively and
triumphantly, the numerous and infuriated legionaries
of the insurgent chieftain. Beyond these the army of
the European victors was enhanced considerably by
the aid of the Seikh soldiers, under the personal di-
rection of the Sheik EMAUM-00D-DEEM, and the
result of this sudden concentration of vigour where it
was least anticipated, was the complete discomfiture
of the rebel, and the immediate dispersion of his fol-
lowers. So decisive was the victory gained by the
English and their allies, under the command of the
noble-hearted subaltern, that the MOOLRAJ himself
—atruch down from the howdah of his elephant by
the concussion of a cannon ball—only narrowly
escaped by springing from the dust into a saddle, and
seeking shelter by flight within the walls of the
capital of the Mooltanees. The sedate pomp of his
potential pageantries was changed into the undignified
dismay of a fugitive.
'Without exaggerating the importance of what has
recently been :accomplished on the frontiers of our
oriental possessions, we may aver that nothing so
singularly abrupt and triumphant has occurred within
the circumference of the Eastern peninsula since the
invasion of the countries north of the Coleroon by the
buccaneering retainers of the warlike HiDER. The
sudden outbreak of rebellion, carrying every-
thing before it, and threatening to set all
the civil and military influences of the Com-
pany at defiance—the equally sudden advance
of a young Lieutenant isolated in the midst of
an insurgent population—are without any direct
parallel more recent in date than the occurrence to
ikich we have already alluded as having transpired
uring the administration of HASTINCIS—when, ac-
cording to tike eloquent words of the historian, " an
army of ninety thousand men, far superior in disci-
pline and efficiency to any other native force which
can be found in India, came pouring through those
wild poses which, worn by mountain tor-
rents and dark with jungle, lead down
from the table-land of Mysore to the plains of the
Carnatie." What Sir EYRE COOTE was in his old
age under the inspiration of the heir of Daylesford,
Lieutenant Eowaeoes has proved himself to be in
his extreme youth, without the guidance of an elder
CARNOT. The tide of calamity has been turned
back even at its flood, in obedience to the beck of
his heed, and the prestige of the name of England
so far from having been in any respect diminished
by the recent catastrophes in the neighbourhood of
Lahore, have been only enhanced to an unprece-
dented extent by the genius and the daring, and
the promptitude of a single man, acting
upon his own responsibility ! it will have
been observed with satisfaction that, in compliance
-vith a suggestion transmitted to the Council at Cal-
utta by the British Resident at Lahore, reinforce-
d: No the amount of six thousand five hundred
men, commanded by Major-General Wilisll, have
been forwarded to the united forces of Major ED-
WARDES and Colonel CORTLANDT, and assisted by
the Seikh EMAUM-00D. DEES and the Nawaub
of Bahawalpore—these reinforcements, in de-
tail, comprising 500 artillery, 1,500 cavalry,
1,500 European, and 3,000 Native infantry.
No doubt, therefore, can be any longer en-
tertained as to the ultimate pacification of the dis-
turbed districts, and the final discomfiture of the in-
surgent Mooratae, now shut up within the ramparts
of Mooltan. The victories of the 18th of June, and
subsequently of the Ist of July, have afforded a bril-
liant prelude to the arrival of the regular troops, and
will tend, together with the increase of alarm on the part
of the rebels, to lead to a speedy capitulation. When
thus much has been accomplished, it must not be for-
gotten, either by the Company or by the Government,
that i
to Major EDWARDES is due the sole glory, in the
we-
were extricated
of having conceived the plan by which
extricated from our somewhat appalling dif-
ficulties, and of having afterwards carried out that
very hazardous and elaborate scheme in the midst of
a thousand hewilderrnents and embarrassmentsrrassment To have nominated him to the local rank
of Major by brevet, to has decorated
n markf
the
of
his s
button-hole of his uniform with a
indicative of the personal satisfaction
ova-
honour
t for the
REIGN, is surely not sufficient in any respec
substantial good accruing to the awe of our
arm
the authority of our command in the lengthy nanndd
lareedth of the Oriental Empire, and accruing to them
....hioimViirtrom the spontaneous evidence of skill
on
the part olkthis young and enterprising soldier. The
inestiinal44dvantage of his example will be lost if the
.Governmebeevinces its usual passion for parsimony.

Itfias foria considerable time past been the prac

on every side—have been constructed. We are told
