DINAPORE AND ARRAN.
The following is a copy of the greater part of a
letter received from a medical officer in her Ma-

jesty's 10th at Dinapore
DINAPORE, ATM. 2.
" Since I last wrote to you the native regiments
here have mutinied, but without any loss of life to
us. I told you all along the rascals would never
attack the 10th. We are all so much disgusted here
with the whole affair that really, as an officer of the
regiment, I have neither patience nor time to give
a full account of the very bad management of the
general and his staff in allowing the three regiments
to escape. They went off in the direction of the
Soane River, which they managed to cross, and
afterwards marched towards Arrah. The day of

the mutiny, and a few hours before it broke out,
the general commanding gave orders for the removal
of the percussion caps from the magazine situated
at the top of the native lines. This was done at an
earl-y hour of the morning, and as the artillery cart
pasted down where tho native regiments wore par&d-

- - .
log, the 7th and Bth gave a shout, and showed'evi-
dent symptoms of their desire to stop it ; but they
were prevented, and the cart was brought safely on
to our mess room. These two regiments were ia.operi

revolt at 6 o'clock a.m. The general was informed
of the fact, and in place of ordering up the guns and

the 10th to disarm the 7th, Bth, and 40th, on the spot,
he only iesued the supine order for native officers to

collect the caps the Sepoys were in possession of, and
report to him by 12. o'clook that this was effected.
When the native officers went to carry, or pretended

to carry, this contemptible and temporising order
into effect, the 7th and Bth woujci not give up their

caps, but some of the 40th complied. The European
officers belonging to the regiments afterwards went

up to the rebels, and endeavoured to get them to
do so, but their efforts were unavailing. The Sepoya
told their officers to be off, and fired upon them, but
happily without killing or wounding any of them.
" The hospital-guard saw all this, and perceiving
the officers running towards the 10th's lines the
signal guns were fired off from the hospital. The
whole of my patients got on the top of it. They
kept up a steady fire, and managed, infirm in health
as they were, to kill about a dozen of the scoun-
di els( The regiment turned out, and every one
was in. his place in the course of a few minutes. I
galloped round the houses, and got all the ladies,
women, and children brought down t.) the barracks.
The order was given, Guns to the front,' and on

we went in the- fond anticipation of cutting these
three rebel regiments .to pieces. Some of the 37th
Queen's, who arrived here the day before, were
thrown out in skirmishing order. The 10th ad-
vanced with their guns, and great was our mortifi-

cation when we perceived -the Sepoys running
across the country like doer. We tired six guns
after them without effect, and here ended this most
_ _

disgracefully-mismanaged affair. One fellow fired at
myself as I was carrying an order, but the ball did not
hit me. Some of the men saw where it came from,
and found him concealed in one of. the huts ;

;hey soon despatched him. We only killed about 30 of
,he mutineers ; 'had they stopped, and given the
;allaut 10th, a chance, they would have bagged the

- .
whole, or at all events the greater proportion of
them ; and it is galling and most mortifying to the
regiment to think that it has been prevented doing
so by-the imbecility of the General, whose cowardly
conduct foil many weeks past has been the means
at least of bringing a heavy affliction upon her
Majesty's 10th. I must here explain that after the
rebels ran off an order, was given (two days after-
wards) for the head-quarters of the regiment to
proceed to Arrah by a steamer to relieve some Eu-
ropeans besieged in that place. This order was,
however, cancelled, and a small detachment of the
10th' was sent, under the command of one of our
senior captains (Dunbar). The strength of the de-
tachment amounted to 150 men and four officers.

There were also 230 men of the 37th, and a propor-
tion of officers, the whole force constituting nearly
400 men, including eight or 10 officers of the native
regiments from here, who volunteered. The boat
containing the 37th got aground, but they were
taken on board of the one which was proceeding up
with the 10th men. They all landed safely, and
continued their march towards Arrah, the whole
being under the command of Capt. Dunbar, who
made a sad mess of it. He did not, it appears, take
the precaution of throwing out au advanced guard,
and when ourgallant soldiers were marching on inthe
full hope of doing good work they were, about two
o'clock in the morning, fired upon by 2,000 Sepoys,
'who were lying in ambush for them. Capt. Dun-
bar was killed on the spot, as well as three offi-
cers of the 37th. The men became panic-stricken,
and they retreated in the direction of the steamer,
which lay two miles out in the stream. Both de•
tachments were severely handled, and the 10th
have lost 70 mem killed and wounded in this unfor-
tunate expedition. The 37th sustained pretty
much the same loss. The remainder of the detach-
ment arrived back here on Friday. All our men
are badly wounded, and for the last two days I
have had hard work amputating and extracting
balls: I wash the blood from my hands to go and
write this to you, and again to return to the hos-
pital. In the absence of Dr. Gordon, on medical
certificate, you are aware that 1 have had full me-
dical charge of the regiment for nearly 12 months
past, and in the present untoward emergency I
have had plenty to do, and with little assistance,
on account of Dr. Tulloch, the second assistant,
being with a detachment at Benaree, and from Mr.
Tucker, the junior assistant, having been sent off
to Patna in medical charge of another detachment
on the very day the wounded arrived back from
Arrah ; but I have now got assistance, and will
manage to get a sleep to-night. Poor Erskine was
mortally wounded in the abdomen; he expired
yesterday. Sand with and Bettye were also wounded,
but bath, lam happy to say, are doing well. The
names of the officers of the 37th killed are—Lieu-
tenaut Bau6enall and Ensigns Birket and Sale.
Mr. Ingleby, of the 7th Regiment, was also killed.
He was one of the European officers of the native
regiments who volunteered, several of whom have
come back here badly wounded ; some have ben
drowned, and others are missing. The medical
officer sent in charge were also wounded, and
all the medical stores I sent for ;the use of
the men have been lest. I need not say that
the poor ladies and wives of the men are iu great
distress about their husbands. All the ladies are
ordered from this to Calcutta. The 10th, now
here, are greatly reduced in numbers, and we have
at this time only four officers fit for duty ; but we
expect more troops daily. The treasure has been
removed from bore, and we are all in great excite-
ment. If you will refer t my letters written more
than two months ago, you will read in them, that
I then advocated the disarming of these regiments,
and frankly stated that the General would some
day regret his misplaced confidence in them, That
day has at last arrived, and 1 pi onounce him alone
responsible for the lives lost and the blood that has
been shed. In the wLee of Her Majesty's army
there is not a corps in higher discipline than the
10th. The gallant Colonel Franks made them a
model regiment. Their movements were as one
man, and I will not admit that even the Guards
could have gone through their evolutions with the
same, or at least with more precision and soldier-
like bearing than this regiment to which I have
the honour to belong ; and although three regi-
ments wore opposed to us we were burning to get
at them, notwithstanding we had little more than
400 effective bayonets, for, what with the detach-
ment at Benares and the sick in hospital, the above
number was all we had here. The discipline and
efficiency of the regiment are well preserved by
the gallant officer, Colonel Fenwick, now in

" General Lloyd had been, I am
50 years in India, and from bodily infirmity is
altogether unfit for such a command in such trou-
blmme times. Surely it is high time for any field
officer to retire when ho requires help to be put on
and taken off his horse. We are all disgusted with
him, and vexed beyond measure that he has pre-
vented the brave 10th from proving to the world
that with only 400 men they would have licked,
and that most effectually, three regiments of in-
surgent Sepoys.
" We hear that large supplies of troops are coming
to our aid. I hope the British Government will
bear iu mind the necessity of keeping up a con-
Vnued flow of fresh regiments for some time to
creme, so as to supply the deficiency which sickness
will crtat-. It is not the mere sending of 50,000
men that will do in this Presidency alone, unless
that number is steadily kept up by an infusion of
healthy men sent out for some years to come, to
supply the place of invalids sent home and the sick
in hospital. This, believe me, is a most trying eli-

CAWNPORE.

The following is the copy of a letter from an
officer whose regiment mutinied in ono of the sta-
tions in Oude. He is with General Havelock's
force as a Cavalry volunteer :
" Camp before Cawnpore, July 21.

" T.wrote to you on the day of our fight at Futty-
pore. The next day's march we had no turn-up,
but the day after we came across the enemy in an
intrenched position with two guns. As usual, the
Volunteer Cavalry were in fiont, and got the first
few rounds of round shot, which came unpleasantly
close to us. We immediately advanced in battle
order—the Artillery silenced the guns, the Infan-
try advanced and took the breastwork by storm.
The enemy left their guns in our hands. We ser-
ved out grog and biscuits to the Europeans, and
again advanced, Volunteer Cavalry ih front. S-
and I went on ahead with the Quartermaster-
General to a bridge to reconnoitre the rebels' posi-
tion. When we arrived within 600 yards the
Quartermaster-General looked through his glass at
the bridge ahead, and said, There are no guns ;
you, remain here.' I dismounted, when presently
a musket or carbine was fired at us from the bridge.
The distance was so great that we laughed at it,
and S--took off his hat and waved it. No sootier:
had he done so than a 24-pounder was sent at us,
their another. There was a small hut off the road,
so we moved behind it, and the beauties sent shot'
after shot at the body of our volunteers drawn up
across the road. They retire d, _and we were re-
called. The column than deployed and advanced
in order of battle covered by Skinner's troop, armed:
with Enfield rifles and objectionable cartridge. The
infantry alone soon silenced the guns, and on a
rush being made across the bridge we found our-'
selves in possession of a 32 and 24-pounder.
" Yesterday we marched, knowing that we were
to meet the enemy in force. We made the
ordinary march and bivouacked. The Volun-
teer Cavalry were posted on a-head, to prevent
surprise. I have written so far and find I am
really Lo done up I cannot write more, sufficd
it to say that we had a - tremendous battle;
and al. had , narrow escapes. The Volunteer
Cavalry, 18 in nurnber, made a charge against hun-
dreds—a very rash thing to do. The General said
he was proud to cornmand u 3.: We took eight or
nine guns. Altogether it was a most gallant affair:
Haviug bivouacked, we advanced in the afternoon.
Our horses had nut been unsaddled, and had had
little to eat. I must have ridden 16 miles, and
nothing but biscuit and wine —lO a.m. yesterday,
nar sp. in. You may fancy what the heat is on
the march in the middle of the day—officere and
men falling from sun strokes. Yesterday's affair
was a most gallant one, and the General may be
proud of all under him. The advance of the Ea-
ropeans with round-shot and grape pouring into
them was most perfect. We came in for our share.
We kit one of our volunteers iu the charge, and I
am going to attend h's funeral this evening. His
brother was with us, and it was sad to see the
poor boy sobbing in the rauk4, with his brother
lying hacked all over within a few yards. The
poor little fellow never asked to be alloived to
le eve the troop. We must halt to-morrow, and I
shall be able to write you a better letter.
"Camp, Cawnpore, July 22.
_

"I have been to see the place whe,re the poor
women and children were imprisoned and after-
wards butchered. It is a small bungalow close to
the road. There wera all sorts of articles of women
and children's clothing. Ladies' hair evidently cut
off with a sword, back combs. &c. There wer6 also
parts of religious beoks. Where the massacre took
place it is covered with blood like a butcher's
slaughterhouse. One would fancy nothing could
be worse than this, but in the well at the back of
the house are the bodies and limbs of the poor
things. I looked down and saw such a sight .asi I
hope never to seo again. The whole of the bodies
were naked, and the limbs had been separated. I
thought of the two Mrs. and 'the three poor
girls, and felt very sad. By all-accounts the women
were so ill treated that.death, ••even such a death,
must have been welcome to there. I will not enter
into more details. I have told you enough to cause
you to make allowance if I write savagely. I have
looked upon death in every form, but I could not
look down that well again."

THE OTERLAND ROUTE POR TROOPS.

The Government have at length made a tardy
acknowledgment of the advantages of the overland
route for pouring reiuforcements into India. At
present, howev-r, the despatch is to be on a very
limited scale, for driblets of 200 or 300 men are to
be sent at a time. A gentleman who has lately
been in Egypt furnishes us with the following in-
formation relative to this route :—" Owing to the
cloud of official haziness thrown over the subject of
transporting troops to India via the Isthmus of
Suez, I find that very little is known iu England
as to the real capabilities of that route. Perhaps
it may be that our home Government are purposely
kept in ignorance as to what might be done by its
aid, in order that the otiums cum dignitate of our
consular agents in Egypt may not receive too rude a
shock in being suddenly called upon to do some-
thing which would entail a little more trouble than
the mere forwarding
of an occasional despatch from
India. A great deal has been said about the great
difficulties of the Passage across the Isthmus. They
do not exist, except in the brains of those who
would willingly conjure them up in order to ensure
a continuance of their personal ease and comfort
at a time when the exigencies of the country de-
mand that the utmost energies of all should be put
forth to secure early
succour to our hard-pressed
countrymen in India. The corisent of the Viceroy,
of Egypt and other friendly powers being secured
—and I believe it has never been contended by
Lord Palmerston that a single diplomatic •bstacle
retarded the adoption of such a plan—the rest of
the case is simply this :—Arrived in the harbour
of Alexandria, our troops could be rowed from the
vessel to the wooden jetty at the mouth of the
Mahmoudieh C trial in 10 minutes ; or, there are
always several light-draught steamers in the har-
b3ur which cou'd be pressed into the service. After
landing on the jetty, collecting baggage, and ferm-
i ing with the strictest military precision on the road
near the jetty, tie troops are within ten minutes'
very easy march of the railway station. I did it
myself very leisurely in that time, carrying
a heavily-loaded knapsack, under a blazing
sun on the 10'h of August, in the present
year of 1857. There is plenty of room on the
platform of the railway station at Alexandria to
muster 2,000 men fully accoutred. There, is an
excellent railway to Cairo 130 miles in length,
with nine stations, at the following distances from
each other :—Between Alexandria and Kaffre
Dowah 17 miles 26 chains (note-80 chains make
one mile) ; between Kaffre Dowagh and Daman-.
hour, 21 miles 27 chains ; between Damanhour
and Kaffra Lais, 26 miles 27 chains ; between
Kaffre Lain and Kaffre Azzayat and Tantah, 11
miles ; between Tantah and Byrket-el-Sabah, 11
miles 30 chains,; between Byrket-el-Sabah and
Benah, 13 miles 7t) chains ; between Benah and
Keliouts, 19 miles 40 chains,. between Kelioub and
Cairo, 8 miles 60 chains. It is true there is only
one line of rails, with long sidings at every station,
and one or two branch lines ; but it is also true
that there is only one passenger train a day each
way between Alexandria and Cairo ; so that the
transport of keeps would not at all interfere with
the regular traffic of the railway. The only stop-
page of any consequence is the non-completion of
the bridge at Kaffre Azzayat. There the passen-
gers are transported across the Nile by means of a
huge portable steam-bridge, similar to the one in
use at Portsmouth—good English-built steamers,
and Terse barges. When I last made the trip, on
the 10th and 12th of August respectively, there
were from 700 to 800 Arabs—men, women, and
children—in the train each way, going to and from
'.he great annual fair at Tantah. We were all con-

veyed across the Nile, bag and baggage, from—the
train on one side of the river to the train on the

other, in less than half an hour ; but, in accordance
with true Oriental usage, we had to sit in the car-
riages for another hour before starting. An Eng-
lish regiment, with all its lumber, could scarcely be
delaled longer than this. The men could take their
own provisions with them, and hundreds of Arab
women and girls will be found at the roadside
stations offering water to the thirsty traveller. The
regular passenger trains travel at a speed at 21
miles an hour ; expresses go 45 miles ; but going
at the most leisurely pace, our soldiers need not
take longer than seven hours on the road be-
tween LAlexandria and Cairo. From Cairo the
railway already extends nearly 59 miles across the
Desert to Suez, leaving little more than 25 miles of
actual marching. Though not quite finished, this
is quite fit for use,

arriving at Cairo the troops need not leave their
carriages, for the lines run into the same station,
and haying been supplied with provisions and

water, they would, by going'on into the middle of
ithe Desert at once, have no occasion to wait for
!stragglers lost in the mazy
.streets of Grand Cairo.
IFrom Alexandria to the extremity of the railway
lin the Desert need not;occupy more than 10 hours ;
'a night's rest and two days' easy marching would
bring the troops to Suez, where they could embark,'
as thousands of other people, who are trained to
undergo such fatigues, do embark every year. The
labour of marching over the .Dcsert must not be
I made too much of. Half a century ago Napoleon's
brave columns and Abercrombie's gallant grenadiers
marched over and fought battles in the Egyptian
deserts; and surely, no one, after our Crimean ex-
periences, will be bold enough to say that the Bri-
tishsoldier has degenerated during the last GO years.
I am not surprised. that the Government hesitated
to adopt the Isthmus route until they were cer-
tain of having steamers in the 11.4 Sea to
carry the troops forward on 'their arrival at Suez ;
but beingnow assured of transport at the other end
of the route, I certainly am exceedingly surprised
that our authorities do not seem disposed to make
more extensive use of it than they at present ap-
pear inclined to do.' Why not use both routes ?
But certainly why not use the 'shortest ? Its advan-
tages in point of time are greater than the public
are allowed to know, its 'disadvantages a mere
bagatelle, the much-talked-of inconveniences' a
perfect sham. in the months of men of war, with
the examples of Alexander, NapoleM, and Aber-
crombie before them. As a knowledge of the real
capabilities of the. route becomes disseininatld, I
feel -convinced that there will be h universal demand
made by the country for troops to be sent to India
via the Isthmus of Suez." This is an important
statement, and demands immediate attention.
