GENERAL HAVELOCK'S MARCH.
The following are extracts of a letter from.a gen-
tleman volunteer attached to Brigadier-General
Neill's camp at Cawnpore, dated August 1 :
"On the 30th ult. General Havelock's force had
proceeded about 20 miles towards Lucknow. In the
morning of that day they came across a.large body
of the rebels entrenched at a bridge ; the rascals
surrounded our gallant little band, but were beaten
to nothing. Our force advanced and in the even-
ing attacked the rebels, who were in a second en-
trenchment. Our side gained the day, of course,
and captured in all 19 guns, but our loss was heavy,
85 killed and wounded ; the guns were spiked or
destroyed, and the general has retired to within
-four mil ea of us. Cholera is raging fearfully among
our poor fellows, the casualties being reported as
60 per day. The enemy is said to be in tremend-
ous force on the Lucknow road, so I presume the
general will not advance against them until rein-
forced and he is relieved of his wounded. I believe
it is the general's intention to bring away if pos-
idhle all our poor • people from Lucknow, and
abadon Oude altogether for the present.
This -appears to me to be a very judicious
plan, and I think GoVernment should make it
publicly known, because the rebellious scoundrels
in the north-west would then make at once for
their darling Oude, and leave our upper provinces
quiet. A rumour is current here that Delhi has at
last really been captured. I hope that this may prove
to he a fact. We are in daily expectation of rein-
.furcements from Allahabad. If they don t come
soon our position here will be a very ticklish one
just now ; there are only shout 300 men here, and
the rascally niggers are said to be again collecting
at Bittoor. We have sent the Berhanapooter
steamer, with 50 Europeans, 24 Sikhs, two guns,
and a mortar, up the river to dislodge them ; we
are in constant expection of being attacked—have
to stand to arms at night. It is said that the Nana's
people have sworn to come and retake the place,
or perish ; theyhad better notattempt it, for 300 men
with a commander like Gen. Neill would give them
something to do. I have notbeen able to glean much
inf,xmation regarding the noble Wheeler's gallant
defence of Cawnpore, but the enclosed little scraps
of paper which I found among the clothes of our
murdered countrywomen will tend to throw some
little light on the matter. I also found in the heap
of blood-stained clothes three daguerreotype por-
traits which I retain and intend to advertise them
hereafter. As soon as we reached Cawnpore after
the battle we were met by a man who rushed to-
wards us much excited—he had the appearance of
a regimental cook—he proved to be a clerx of the
Commissariat Department. He had volunteered
to leave the intrenchment, and endeavour to gain
some information for Sir H. Wheler as to the
probability of relief being at hand or not; the
rebels seized him,, tried him as a spy, and con-
demned him to three years' hard labour in irons.
Accordingly he was confined with about 300 natives
(most of them
,imprisoned for their,inability to sup-
ply the Nana with funds), who, when they heard
the victorious shouts of our army, made a rush at
their guards, and escaped. Poor fellow ! (Mr. S.)
he had left all his family (nine) in the entrench-
rnent, and they have, with the rest of our people,
been cruelly butchered. It is a most affecting sight
to see the poor fellow searching about the place
where the bodies of our countrywomen were found,
I suppose hoping to find some trace of his slaugh-
tered family. He roams listlessly about, no one
speaking to him or offering to sympathise with hire,
for we all feel that it would be almost a
mockery to offer consolation. Many people
s# that Wheeler should have gone into the
magazine instead of entrenching himself where he
did ;
_that he would then have prevented the
rebels getting the ammunition and gone. The
Artillery Hospital which Wheeler defended is fear-
fully battened ; the rebels had. guns bearing upon
every inch of it, and at last I believe brought a
24-pounder to bear upon the well which was the
only one they had ; numbers were shot trying to
get water from the well, and at last it was found
impossible to get what was life itself, `r water."
It must have been at this time that the Bittoor
traitor's proposal (that Wheeler should evacuate
Cawnpore and retire to Allahabad under his pro-
tection) was accepted. We know what sort of pro-
tection the villains showed them. All but our
women and children (who were made prisoners)
were treacherously butchered as soon as they had
fairly placed themselves in the power of the wretches.
On the 16th Major-Renaud got shot in one of
his legs, which was shattered ; he sat on the road,
and, as his r= giment passed, aid, "God be with you,
Fusiliers, forj can't." His men cheered him, and
rushed forward to revenge him, and I believe they
did fearful execution ; they are fine soldiers, and
almost worshiped poor Renaud, who, I am sorry to
say, is since dead. Captain Currie, her Majesty's
84th, was sick when we were advancing upon this ;
he insisted upon being allowed to leave his dooley
and lead his company—poor fellow, he was shot in
the loins, which proved mortal. Major Beatson
died here of dysentery. We have two or three
officers now wounded • Lieut. Seaton, of the Fusi-
liers, said to be mortally so. Old Havelock seems
to be a pucca chap, and well up to his work as a
general ; his son, Lieut. Havelock, is a model of a
soldier, a fine dashing fellow, in the Charles
y style.
We Caught a Subadar the other day ; he con-
fessed to having been second in command fighting
against us on the 16th ult. We hung him up, but
first made him clean up some of the blood of our
slaughtered women.
I hope no Mussulman will be enlisted into the
Sikh Volunteers now forming. In the Ferozepore
Regiment of Sikhsthere are about 105 Mahomedans
which the Sikhs say never fired yet at the enemy ;
they use lots of cartridges, but all are fired over
he enemy's heads poAtively.

PATNA..
The following is an extract from a private letter
from Patna, dated July 21 :
" On Monday morning I went to cutcberry as
usual, and transacted ?üblic business. After two I
broke up, when the magistrate requested to see me.
1 called, and learnt his resolution to leave Chupra,
inasmuch as danger was nigh. The Irregulars of
Segowlie, who had murdered all their officers and
families, had' come round to Alligunge, done sad
havoc there, and were coming on towards Chupra,
being encamped at a place called Seetulpore Bank),
five toss from Chupra to the north-west. I agreed
with him it was time we should leave
What is more heartrending is, that three regiments
which mutinied at Dinapore were allowed to walk
out of the station unhurt with their own bands
playing, God save the Queen.' These men got
into Arrah, looted the place. and are now engaged
by Koonr Sing, who has proclaimed himself the
Maharajah of S thabad. Koour Singh has
Managed to organise a corps of about 20,000
men besides 2,500 men gone from Dinapore. They
have somehow got three guns, and as the percussion
guns are useless, the Sepoys and all the oth-rs have
been furnished with arms of Judgespore manufac-
ture.* The first mistake was not enough in permit •
ting b o large a body of men to go away unhurt with-
out a shot being fired at them. But upon hearing
that they were attacking the billiard room in Mr.
Farquharsan's house at Arrah (the upper-roomed
building fortified and built up for protection since
the rise), and that all the authorities had gone irtto for
defence, the general at Dinapore sent]out 200 men.
What folly ! so few against numbers ten times
greater, and then without any guns ? Mr. M'Donell,
the magistrate of Chupra, and Mr. Garstin, accom-
panied them. Out of the 200 men it is grievous to
say that 150 were shot dead as they had landed
by a picket patty sent to watch the different
ghats. Mr. M'Donell is wounded, and Mr. Garsiin
very seriously hurt. It has been a total defeat ;
and the loss will embolden the rebels. I would
not doubt, strong as they are, that they
may take it into their heads to come to Dinapore
and Patna, and attack these paces. We have guns,
true ; but the European force is not large, and the
body of Sikh police force also not great, being deci-
mated by being sent away here and there to guard
the different stations. God known alone how all
this shall terminate.

" My hurried let' er of the day before yesterday
will have alarmed you about my factories ; things
looked worse than they „actu,dly were, magnified
by. idle rumour. "All the Buxar people, Euro-
peans I" ani ashamed to add, left the place ; some
have gone straight to ailcutta in boats, others
to Ghazeepore and the Fort ; the most secure
place was abandoned to the enemy, who, it i 3 for-
tunate, did not know the extent of fear' they had
occasioned, or they would have secured that place
and given a lot of struggle. The Stud gents, too,
were all prepared to glut, as soon as ever the mu-
tineers approached &lam., and they had all ga-
thered on this side the river, with boats laden with
their traps, &c. With all this fear, conceive where
and what the enemy were doing ? • They had been
four days beleagurino• a house at Arrah, where
four or five of the European officials had taken
shelter, with only 50 Sikhs, and this small brave
band had succeeded in keeping some 3,000 in
check, killing sorue 60 of the insurgents. The
Sepoys are said to have expended all their percus-
sion caps and cartridges, having left Dinapore in
such a.hurry that they had provided themselves
very indifferently, so that they were little better
than the rabble which had joined them. Their
force_ altogether amounts to about 3,000, beaded

THE DINAPORE MUTINIES AND THE
EXPEDITION TO ARRAH.
The following is from Dinapore, dated July 31 :
—" The Sepoye broke out here on Saturday, the
23d instant. We were ordered to parade that
morning, for the purpose (as we thought) of dis-
arming three corps, but the general wouldn't let
them be disarmed, nor their colonels. They only
took a few caps from them. The 7th and Bth
Native Infantry refused to give up theirs. We
were under arms for about three hours that morn-
ing. About one o'clock that day we heard that
they had turned out in front of their lines. Shortly
after we heaid the two signal shots from the top of
the hospital. We fell in, and doubled down, with
the six guns, in about five minutes. The Sepoys.
all hooked it. We did not come back to our lines
till 1.1 o'clock that uiht. Thera were only a few of
them killed. I forgot to tell you there were 200
men of her Majesty's 37th with us. The steamer
which they came in did good work ; she sank seven
boat loads of Sepoys. I don't suppose we killed ten
Sepoys altogether, as they were out of range when
we got down.
The next day, 26th (Sunday), everything was
quiet •, 27th quiet also, but on the evening of
the 28th we got orders for four companies to pro-
ceed to Arrak, about 30 miles from here, to release
the Europeans that the Sepoys bad prisoners.
Well, we didn't go till next morning, and, as usual,
two companies were countermanded, as the
steamer couldn't take the whole. Our two com-
panies were made up to 157 men of all ranks.
They steamed up the Ganges and met the 200 men
of her Majesty's 37th. On a sand bank they
all landed, with about 50 Sikhe, nearly 400 men in
all, and 17 officers. They marched to Arrah, a
distance of 14 miles. When they were going along
quietly in the dark, and near the gates of Arrah, there
was a volley poured into them, which nearly anni-
hilated them, and then such a scene commenced—
firing and retiring for 14 miles. They bad to swim
a I,ranch of the Ganges besides. The company I
belong to lost 25 men killed and 12 wounded. Our
loss in the two companies is as follows :-78 killed
arid wounded, viz., Capt. Dunbar, killed ; Ensign
Erskine, died of wounds ; Lieut. Sandwitb,
wounded ; Capt. Medhurat, wounded ; 48 privates
killed and 30 wounded. No joke out of two com-
panies ; but if you bad seen the state of the poor
fellows when they arrived yesterday, you must
have pitied. them. There were four officers of her
Majesty's 37th killed. I don't know how many
men, but should say nearly as many as the 10th
lost. There were eight officers killed and foilr
wounded, volunteers the whole of them. It was a
general massacre. There were great deeds of bravery
performed, but what Rae the use, they wore over-
whelmel by thousands in a strange country. They
fought from 11 p.m. until 11 a.m. the following
morning, without bit, bite, or sup, since leaving
this. How so many came to killed was, the
Sepoys beat out their brains when they fell,
wounded. The mate of the steamer was also
killed. When our fellows came to the branch
of the Ganges, the boats ware there, but they
could not get them off the sand, at least
they only got off a few. There was one boat
load of our wounded men burnt to death by the
Sepoys. Some had to swim it with three wounds on
them. It was a horrible affair altogether. The
10th had just got the Enfield rifle served that day,
and they did good work ; they killed about 600
Sepoys. After the first volley they broke into
skirmishing order, and our chaps couldn't get them
in a body at all to charge them. I could fill two
sheets of paper, only I am pressed for time and
room. The men have been belted ever since ; we
expect them to be down on us every moment from
both sides of Patna and. Arrah. The four regiments
of Sepoys, besides all the villagers, are against us.
In the de kd of the night it was horrible, they kept'
banging after them from every bush and tree. One
of our men had two chakos shot off his head, his
pouch blown off, and his fieelocksmashed, and even
the heel of one of his boots was shot off. One officer
of her Majesty's 37th Regiment was wounded twice
in the foot, and he had to fall ; so he drew out his
revolver, and shot himself. Another of our men
was flayed alive by the brutes, and tben his body
was burned. One of the drummers of the regiment
fired, and retired, for about six miles with two
wounds in his shoulder, he then got a third through
the body and dropped. He again got up and fired
his last shot at the Sepoy who shot him, and im-
mediately fell back and died. Captain Dunbar
got riddled with balls. We have two companies
and two guns at present at Patna. I must leave
off, fir I am for duty to-night."—Phoenix.
The following is another account. It is dated
Dinapore, Aug. 1
:--
"1 send you an account of a most tragical occur-
rence that has thrown a gloom on the whole station.
But all owing to the people at the head of affairs
here.
" Instead of the enemy being pursued at once,
whilst the panic lasted, three days were suffered to
elspse, and then a party consisting of her Majesty's
37th, her Majesty's 10th, and Sikhs, making in all
400, were despatched by steamer to the nearest
point on the river to Arrah, which is about 14 miles
inland. The men were landed and marched by
moonlight till about 11 o'clock, when the moon
went down, and when they should have halted, but
the officer in command obstinately pushed on in the
dark, in an unknoWn country, in the face of a pow-
erful army, the men tired and hungry, and discon-
tented. What could be expected ? They fell into
an ambush of about 2,000 men, partly Sepoys and
partly men belonging to Koour Sing, a powerful
landholder in these parts. A murderous volley
was poured in and a good many fell. This created
a panic, and the men separated, and did not join
altogether till morning. Tha officer commanding
the party, Captain Dunbar, was killed by the first
volley. The rebels kept up a heavy fire all night
upon our men, which they returned, but in the
morning a precipitate retreat was made by our men.
From all I can ascertain they would not listen to
their officer's, but it was a case of every man for
himself. The slaughter on our side was dreadful,
about 150 killed, and hardly a man unwounded.
" Amongst the officers, eight fellkilled or mortally
wounded, and seveaal wounded returned to the

station.
" Amongst the killed were Captain Dunbar, 10th
Foot ; Lieutenant Anderson, late 22d Volun-
teer ; Lieutenant Ingilby, Lite 7th Volunteer ;
Lieutenant Sale, her Majesty's 37th ; Ensign
Erskine, her Majesty's 10th, killed ; mate of steamer
killed ; a railway volunteer also. The names of
o• hers I cannot find out. Wounded : Lieutenant
Sandwith, her Majesty's 10th ; Ensign Venour,
late 40th Volunteer ; Dr. Jackson ; Mr. Garstin,
volunteer ; Mr. Macdonald, volunteer, and many
others. They were pursued by the whole force of
rebels to a nullah, where many were drowned be-
cause they could not swim. The native officers
were seen hounding on their men. Three were
shot. Men in rifle uniform are seen amongst them.

they fired buttons and stones. They had the small
