THE PUNJAUB.

(From the Times' Correspondent)
LAHORE, SEPT. 28.

By the last mail you will have heard that there
had been more bloodshed in the Punjaub. The
disarmed sepoys broke out at Mooltan, because
they could not stand being quietly discharged.
They mutinied in the pluckiest manner ; they were
utterly "licked" in half an hour, and driven into
the jungle, where in the course of one week they
were hunted up and " accounted for ;" and you
know that in Punjaub phraseology " accounting
for" means the extreme fate due to mutineers. We
are very sorry that they would insist on breaking.
out. Mre meant that they should go quietly home ;
as they decided otherwise, their blood is on their
own heads. At other stations they are going off
quietly enough in parties of 50 a day. In the course
of two months or so we shall have got rid of some
12,000 of them. They had all along been hoping
that an opportunity would arise when they might
once more strike for power. At times, however,
they were heartily sick of remaining in camp in
front of guns and guarded by sentries, and doubt-
less they sighed for home. But when the time
cline for going home, and also for being finally dis-
charged, and losing all hope of restored influence,
then their hearts tidied them and their disappoint-
ment was bitter. Moreover, they could not believe
our assurances ; they felt that they had given us
cause for undying vengeance, and they expected
that when separated into small parties on the road
they would be " polished off" in detail. They ex-
pected to be buried in the jungle or drowned m the
rivers. Such are the terrors of a sei oy consci nee.'
The last of the fugitive mutineers who took refuge
in the Himalayan regions are pricked up from time
to time. The other day a party of ninety, after ex-
traordinary wanderings, were trying to escape by
Thibet and Chinese territory. Fancy that world of
glaciers and rocks and literally howling wilder-
ness being traversed by sepoys born in the hot
and fertile plains of ilindostan ! But a pur-
suing destiny awaited them. They were fol-
lowed by a civil officer (Mr. Knox) and some
th'rty Sikhs and hill-men .and were captured
in Chinese territory. That a single European with
a few Punjaubee followers, separated by some 20
marches over several mountain ranges from all
European support, should be able to take so large
a party in the remotest Himalayan uplands shows
that British prestige still lives even in the rudest
localities. _ _ _

You will hear by this mail that a moveable column
of some 700 Europeans—lnfantry, Cavalry, and
Artillery—have left Lahore for Dera Ismail Khan.
The abortive conspiracy which occurred there some
six weeks ago will be fresh in your recollection.
Since then nothing further has gone wrong. But
still the symptom was and is significant. You
know how in epidemics the first case is thought so
ominous. That Dera Ismail Khan affair was with
us- the first case of political cholera. We have had
a brush of the fiend's wing, and, perhaps, he may
pass on in his flight! But it is no good to cry
peace, when, after all, there may be no peace ; and
the Punjaub Government is on the watch, and will
take every precaution. At Dera Ismail Khan there
is a fort and magazine, which heretofore has
been held by Punjaubces. That will now be gar-
risoned by Europeans. Punjaubee troops on
the frontier—our own subjects there—our indepen-
dent neighbours on the border—will now be shown
that even on that remote and isolated frontier we
trust ultimately to nobody but our own people.
The lesson may, perhaps, be in time; and the
people there, seeing that we are able to command,
may be willing to obey. Is it not strange that

the mutinous 39th N.I. was sent there to be dis-
ttihleouPgliltrij
armed and guarded, and the duty was done right
faitAfullv at a time when we were really in the air ?
A year afterwards, when we are comparatively
strong, a conspiracy is found out among the Pun-
jaubces, while the 39th N.I. remain quiet!
Otherwise all continues well in the Punjaub as
yet. The symptoms in the heart of the Sikh coun-
try—i.e., round Lahore and Umritsir—continue
quite satisfactory. Our military service is
still very popular with the Sikhs ; we could raise
any number of yeomen at short notice, and that
is a capital sip. The Punjabee soldiers serving
abroad in Oude and Hindostan write home 'in the
best spirits, and send remittances to their villages,
which remittances are highly appreciated as among
the blessings of British rule. Numbers of Punjabee
women will this next cold weather be travelling
down to Hindostan to see their husbands, and to
bring back home the savings and the plunder.
On the frontier, no doubt, the Mahomedan tribes
are watching to ace whether an opening in our
armour will not show itself, so that they may give
us a stab ; but they give no overt sign whatever ;
in fact, they commit fewer raids on their territory
than they used to do.

BELIEFFOR THE HOMEWARD BOUND

Application to the Admiralty for the despatch of
one or more men-of-war to the Chops of the Chan-
nel for the relief of the mercantile marine in want
of assistance has been promptly granted :

mation of the Committee for Managing the Affairs
