These 60 will probably be blown away from the
guns in Huzara.
" There is a fight going on now in Eusofzaie.
Our Deputy-Commissioner Capt. James, has taken
a force to a large village known to be rebellious.
Nothing but bloodshed all over the country. A
friend of mine in Cashmere has offered to raise a
corps of Dogra Rajpoots for the British. They are
Hill Rajpoots of the same tribe as Maharajah
Gholab Sing. He seems to think that the ladies
had better all go to Cashmere for safety, as a few
men could hold that country against an army."

MEERUT.
The following is from an officer at Meerut :
" No. 2, Barrack, Meerut.
"I have not even now received one letter since
the 10th of Maj. What has become of them I
can't say. This has grieved me very much.
Situated as we all are, and have been, letters from
England are of tenfold value. It has been a hard
fight, and hundreds have been murdered—men,
women, and children ; at Cawnpore and Futty-
ghur alone fully 350, if not many more. Mothers
murdered before their children, and even babes
hacked to. pieces on their mothers' breasts. The
massacres there have been dreadful—horrible—
more than any accounts I may have given. I send
yon a batch of extracts from the Lahore Chronicle,
which, horrible as they are, may give you some
ratisfaction in reading, as giving proof of the de-
servedness of the puLishments we are inflicting,
and shall inflict. Never since the beginning of the
world have such acts been perpetrated as have been
committed hero, and by the men we fed and were
kind to. Nearly 80 men have been hung, and
nearly 1,000 killed in the district. We are strongly
fortified here, and do not fear an attack from any
number. Delhi has not fallen, but thousands have
been killed. Our men cannot be r e,trained, and
they are like demons lot loose. We have had more
than 20,000 men attacking 3,000 or 4,000, and they
have fled losing hundreds. 500 men at Agra
thrashed 5,000, the mutineers being entrenched,
and having 12 guns playing round shot and shell.
They cannot stand our charge fur a moment ; 18
gentlemen mounted (ail the cavalry we had oc
this occasion) checked 500 hundred cavalry, and
these are but two out of hundreds of instances
of gallantry displayed all over the country. This
has saved us, by God's mercy. I am going to
Delhi to the camp. I shall be with a Sikh corps..
These (the Sikhs), as also the Ghoorkas (hill men)
have fought with us like Europeans. Had it not
been for them we might have been all murdered
and turned out of the country. Had European,
troops been sent as asked for and advised, thou-
sands of lives would have been saved. You will learn
more than I can tell you by the papers. Should
God spare my life I will give you news of the total
destruction of thousands of Sepoys assembled in
Delhi from all parts of India. This is near at hand.
Among our enemies are thousands of the worst sort
of people,—viz., Goojurs,' and I believe every
Mussulman is the country. We have found many
here whom every one would have supposed incapa-
ble of it, and they have been some of the principal
leaders in the riots. The Sepoys have lost all spirit
(if they ever had any when opposed to us). The
"Endow; and Mussulmans quarrel, and the Hindoos
reproach them and say, This all your fault.' No
matter, we care not. We only know their lives
are forfeited, and that not one shall be spared.
Many innocent may be killed, but they have brought
the curse on themselves. Think of their cutting up
children before a father's eyes and putting the
pieces in his mouth, and putting other babies alive
into boxes and burning them I Would any one
believe this ? Acts like this produce such as the
following. The. Highlanders and others passed
through Cawnpore the other'day, where those bru-
tal murders had been committed, and they killed
every native they could find. And they did but
justice, for all were implicated. They either helped
or remained passive. Columns will be formed to
move about all over the country, and the Sepoys
will be hunted down like beast,.

" We have a corps here of mounted volunteers,
in number about 30—gentlemen, a few officers, and
tradesmen. They went out not long ago against
3,000 Goojurs, people of the villages near here ;
.they killed a great many, cut off the heads of their
loader, and stuck it on a pole. They are soon put
to flight, their (head of the ' gora log,' or white
people, is so great. They are armed with match-
loJks, spears, and dwords."
