The banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1844-1847, 1846-04-22

We arc indebted to Capt. C;riswold,
OF the packet ship Northumberland, for
London papers to the 9Th ui,., being
three an,! half days later than before
received.
The principal news Of interest relates
to the movements of the contending
forces in India, after til" 9rgat battles OF
Dec. 18th. 2lst AMI 22l. The views
expressed in Il late number OF this paper,
rs 10 the cqu;vocal character Of the I" vic
tory" gained in those battles by the Bri-
tIsll troops, appears to be fully sustained.

tone OF feeling on this question lhrougls-
out the States; by that exhibited in ,xo
house: OF the Legislature, mechanically
'ndccd would be the prospect before US.
Hlrnaclng as present appearances arc,
however, we have still a hope that the
good sense and good feeling of the moro
sober minded Of the nation-and they
arc not few, nor are they idle at this pc
r'lous criscs-will prevail for peace.
oar own government has exhibited Il
d'gr@c Of lorbcarancc which is exposing
them to the snccrs Of the though,lcss
and the designing, who charge them
w'iil exhibiting, not only the white flag,
Dut the white feather, but which cD,itles
them to the gratitude Of all who have
the best interest Of their country and
their kind at heart. The consequences
OF war between the two countries
would be sufficiently disastrous to both
OF them, but America has even more in
tcrcst in avoiding war than we have.
