THE JULLUNDUR DOAB.

Seldom or ever have the quarters hurriedly occupied
by our tro.vs, in a newly-acquired territory, received
such commendations as those that have, been bestowed
on almost every station in the Juilundur Doab. Should
the present season afford anything like an average spe-
cimen of its climate, it seems likely that our new ter-
ritory will supply one vast sanatorium to the European
troops on the north-west frontier. It is said that Loo-
dianah is to longer to be maintained as a military post
of any consideration—that station being about to be
advanced to Philoor, one of the lately-acquired for-
tresses. Ninety thousand pounds had arrived about the
middle of August to pay the batta of the troops. The
farmers were extending cultivation in all directions, and
lands which for a long lapse of years had been waste,
were beginning to be cropped again, under the assurance
experienced from our presence that the husbandman will
be fully protected, and enjoy the fruits of his labours
A slight disiurhance had occurred betwixt the country
people and the men of the 10th Irregular Cavalry, brought
on by the grasacutters of the latter having extended their
operations into private property. It was easily suppressed,
and so grateful do the people appear for our inter-
ference, so happy ulAcler par protection, that ive tiro

The Jamoo chief is said to be strengthening,

towards us are as yet unsupported. It is probablt
in his nature to remain long on terms with any once
