THE HIGEILLNDEItS IN. INDIA..—The following extract
of a letter from India will. show the extraordinary effect
produced on the native mind by the appearance of the
on this side of India have
sent out to avenge the massacre of the ladies at Cawn-
pore. The battle of Onao disabused them of that idea,
took them for women
and the Highlanders were pronounced g petticoated
devils.' Still they were
nlleivgehrlasneednertsh:e—:
a puzzle. The sepoys could
understand the existence a:f devils, but could not com-
prehend why they should be barelegged. At last the
truth carne out. The devils were barelegged in order
more conveniently to break sepoys across their knees !
A sepoy of the 733, who I,
happened to be in Calcutta on
their arrival, reported on his return to his regiment that
the English were sending. out monsters, with legs like
elephants, faces covered with hair like wild beasts, and
blood-red eyes. The Highlanders are, in trutb, a singular
contrast to the people of the low country. On the arri-
val of the 42d a Sircar or Bengalee clerk had occasion to
go on board the vessel. A Highlander stepped up to
him, and looked at him long and curiously ; then catch-
ing him by the waist, ha held him above his head,
exclaiming, with a chuckle of amazement, "Sandy, be
thae the things we're to fecht wi'?' A sepoy is very
different from a Bengalefe, being usually taller than an
Eugliehulasa though he weigla less."
