GREAT BATTIEIN INDIA

GREAT BATTLE IN INDIA
Our advices from Bombay, since the
sailing of the steamship Cambria, come
down to January II, and furnish ac-
counts of one of the greatest battles ever
fought by the British in our Indian EN-
pire, in which we have sustained the
known loss of $500 of our brave sol.
diers, including the gallant Sale, Sir J.
M'kaskill and Major Broadfoot.
= An Extraordinary Gazette gives the
official account of all the military opera
tons in this great struggle. On the
18th, 18th and l4th of December the
Sikh army crossed the Sutlej, with, at
the lowest estimate, $4,000 men (of
whom 10000 or $4,000 were cavalry
and about $50 cannon of the largest
calibre movable in the field.
A fierce conflict ensued, in which the
Sikhs lost the artillery attached to their
division, in number IL guns. 1t was
in this stage Of the battle that Sir Ro-
bert Sale and General M'Kaskill fell.
Imagination can scarcely depict the
fury and the obstinacy Of the two days
flight that must have preceded the cap
ture of the invaders camp with all its
n'oterset and artillery, and the utter dis
person of the invading army on the 22d
Of December. Their loss is variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000 in
killed and wounded. Our loss in killed
and wounded, it is to be feared, falls lit
tie short of $500, including SO European.

DUELLING-TEXAS.

DUELLING-TEX
Mr.. Editor If common report, and
unfounded suspicious are to be credited,
Texas is the worst spot in all this wes-
tern hemisphere. 1t was at least before
its admission into the Union, the grand
depot of all Williams, according to some
reports or suggestions sort of Botony
Bay place, to which all the ring-lcaders
in crime transported themselves when
threatened with law in their own State.
But while it is admitted that Texas, has
no doubt been city of refuge to many
an outlaw, yet it is by no means peo-
pied with that class Of persons; on the
contrary Texas would compare favora-
bly,: we presume, iii this respect, with
any of the older States in the Union.
In sss2od sgs2od old sober South Carolina, we
.!on hands very general as
.ment of all grades of trifiing charac-
tiers, Notwithstanding the hard times,
and the great opening for such charac-
ters TO the West
In Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi are to be found a supera-
bundance Of just such characters, many
of them of domestic manufacture, and
not few of foreign expectation. Texas
then, is not the only refuge Of vice and
Of such characters, while at the same
time are found IN her, many noble hearts,
and much correct sentiment. This is
evident from the character of her lately
adopted Constitution. Some of the pro-
visions contained in the Constitution,
could not be secured at this day, we
suppose, in South Carolina. although
she can boast over Texas of superior at
sainments in law, morals and religion.
Nothing in the Texas Constitution
pleases me better than that portion
which relates to duelling, and if l mis-
take not, Texas is in advance of all the
other States on this subject
This pernicious. murderous custom is
eHectually cut up by the roots in Texas
No man who regards his present cha
racter, or future prospects, would think
Of fighting duel in now Texas. Under
the "general provisions" of the Cons,i-
tuition. the fifth section contains the pro-
vision on duelIing, which runs thus:
"Any citizen of this State, who shall af:
ter the adoption of this Constitution, fight
duel with deadly weapons: or send or
accept a challenge to fight duel with
deadly weapons, either within the State
or out of it, or who shall act as seconds,
or knowingly aid and assist in any man
ner, those thus offending shall
be deprived Of holding offices of trust or
profit under this State" To make this
provision efectual against duelling, the
oath which the members Of the legisla-
ture and all officers are required to- take
before entering on their duties, contains
the following clause, -" do further So
lemnly swear (or afirm) that since the
adoption Of this cons,ityatiopsby the Cog

SERMONS ARE LIKE GUNs.-Some are
long, others short; some are new, others
old; some are bright, orhers rusty some
are made to be looked at, others to be
used some are loaded, others empty;
some are owned, others borrowed. Some
are air-guns, some pop-guns, some of
every size, from the pocket pistol to the
Paixhan gun. Some are charged only
with powder, and make great noise
and smoke. Some send only small shot,
that irritates rather than kills. Some
carry heavy metal, that does execution.
Some discharge chain shot, moving
down whole platoons. Some are wide.
mouthed mcrtars, throwing only bomb
shells. Some are duelling pistols, used
only in controversy-vileth thingsl Some
60 off half bent. Some flash in the pan.
Some make terrible fix, the charge all
escaping at the priming hole. Some
shoot too high, some too low, some side
ways, a few directly at the point. Some
are aimed at nothing and hit it. Some
scatter prodigiously; some kick their
owners over. Some are unerring; 9TH
ers always hit the wrong object. Some
have too much wadding, and vice versa.
Some are alarm guns; others are com.
plimentary guns, used only for salutes
on special occasions. Some are in Sc
ries, constituting a battery; others are
swivels, made to turn in any direction.
Some are useful, some useless, some dam
gerous. Some amuse, some frighten,
some exasperate, some explode, some
gain the victory. Very much depends
upon the manner in which they are
made and managed.

MAKING MANURE.-The chief, the
grand object with every farmer, should
be the accumulation of manure, from one
years end to the other, day.in and day
out, and from every possible resource.
Not single pound Of feathers, or of hair
of horn or ofhoof-not single pint of
ashes, or of soapsuds, of urine-not a
weed, if it were pissible to prevent it,
should be lost-all should be saved and
converted into manure Of one thing
every farmer IS certain--that cultivation
exhausts his land-something of course,
must be done to restore that of which it
is exhausted. How long will horse
work if he gets no feed2 How long will
the best COW give milk if she gets moth
ing to eat? Neither can a farm be
worked and MIXED without being fed. =
