The following description Of one Of the re4
cent ''grsat and eloriousn battles in India gives
a faint idea Of the horrors that attend the trade
Of war:
As our men SdyqHccd, English and Hipdoo
side BY side, the sikhs appeared to redopbIe
their fire, and, TO use the expression Of an eve
witness, "a storm 81 iron hail descended Oh
our ranks.'' No force Of. fire, however, could
repress their valor. They pushed forward with
irresistible enthusiasm, and after the,mosl treI
mcndous Efforts succeeded in their attempts.
The cayalryeentered the entertainment ii sim
gle file, through openings made for them by
the saPpers and miners, and in a short time the
route Of the Sikhs became general.
as they had shown no mercy 10 Numerous
wounded men who had fallen into their hands;
SO no mercy was shown to them. TBey were
dr'venin confusion toward the bridge and river,
which having risen during the night rendered
their retreat almost impossible. The,bridpe Of
boats, densely t%hronged BY the fugitites; broke
down in several places. while our guns incesl
sanity playing on their closely wedged mass,
produced the most fenrful havoc. The scene
presented by the face Of the sutlei defes dcs-
criPtion-covered with horses and men. upon
whom the most dreadfHf fire was kept up with
grape and caRister--it literally ran rcd With
blood.
Under these circumstances, we fnn BY no
means imagine the number Of the slain TO be
over estimated at twelve thousand. The bat.
tie had begun about 6 o'clock, and did not ter
inmate till eleven. The eombatants had met
hand to hand. Our artillery and musketry had
never for a moment ceased their fire. Our ca-
voIry charging impetuously through theirranks
had speared or sabred all who fell in their way.
But the river was their greatest enemy, and
when they flung themselves pelI nell into its
waters, which were wholly nnforduble; the ar
tillery scattered death unsparingly among them
till there was not a man left visible within
range.

The TARIFr-VERY IMPcRTANT,-The Ma
tional I~ntelligencer OF this morning snys.-
"From what we have casually heard in con-
versation, we think it quite possible that the
Tariff question, and some others may be suf-
fered to lie over to another session, and thai the
appropriation bills,&c, may be passed in short
order, so as to allow Congress to adjourn much
earlier than thcypossibly can do, if the MAJORS
ty in Congress should, as the Government paper
has intimated that they positively would, 'seri-
ously enGeavor to pass a new tariff bill. The
rumor to which we refer is, that it has been de-
termined at a consultation of the democratic
leaders in Congress, to make the next Session
begin in October instead Of December, and, as
a consequence to terminate the present session
at some time between the first of June and the
first of July-BaH. Patriot.

DrELLMe -Two mosquitoes one morning
met on leaf in the garden. Both were filled
with the blood drawn from their last nocturnal
depredations--they were silent& unhappy,cross

the other and said-"did you turn your stingat

The following advice, copied from the St.
Louis Reveille, may not be without its use to
politicians in this part Of the country.
"About voting twice great care must be ta-
ken, Don't do it, If there's any danger Of vo-
ting the ticket of tho enemy by mistake. If
you happen to vote wrong the first time, it is
rightto rote again; and always be sure to get
the second ticket from the candidates. In such
cases, aside from the hope Of success, it is high
ly proper to vote the second time. Reason will
tell you this. If you can serve your country
by voting once. you render a double service by
voting twice; which is as plain as the rule Of
three. You might also vote on all day, if they
will let you; you can't be better employed;
but be on'your guard! Don't vote the ticket
of the enemy!
Ifyour vote is challenged sWear ii in. This
is the only way to preserve the purity of the
ballot-box. The enemy do it, and we must do
it too in selfdcCence. Every body doesit-and
if we don't do it, we shall be defeated! Mark
our words-we shall be deteatcd-and the beauti-
full fabric of free institutions will be oyerturn-
ed by the GOths and Vandals Of the enemy!
Verb Sat,
P. SIN voting more than on &c, ii is always
best to change your dress, or vote in different
precinct. This avoids remark. But above all
things, look out for the tickets Of the enemy!

oelng invited into the cabin, handed me a bun
die of dispatches for admiral Warren. wbo he
observed, must be within forty miles to lee.
ward Iordered refreshments, and in company
with several of my officers, we entered into a
general conversation.
u asked him what object admiral Warren
had in cruising in that neighborhood? He said
to intercept the American privateers and mer-
chantmen, but particularly to catch Com. Rodp-
ers, who ne understood had command of one of
the largesIfrigates in the American Navy. | in
CURED Of him what kind Of n man this Rodgers
was, and if ever he had seen him? He said
no; buthe had understood that he was an odd
character, and devil!ish hard to catch. After
conversation on several subjects, I abruptly put
this question to him.
'Sir' DO you know what vessel YOU are on
board of?n
"Why, yes sir, he replied, son board his ma
jesty's ship Sea Horse.n
"Then, sir, you labor under a great mis-.
take"
'Youa are on board he Us ship President, aud
and ! am com. Rodgers, at your serpice.'
The dying dolphin never assumed a greater
variety of colors than did this poor fellows
face, 'sir, said he, you are disposed to be hui
merous, or must be joking" | assured him
it was not a joke, and to satisfy him on that
head, handed him my commission. At the same
moment the band struckup Yankee Doodle, on
our quarter deck, on approaching which he saw
the American ensign Ing, the redcoats of the
marines turned blue,and the crown and anchor
button metamorphQsed into the eagle.
This affair, observed the commodore was Of
immense importance to our country. We OBJ
tanned in full the British signals; the operations
of admiral Warren, by the non-receipt of his
dispatches, were destroyed for the season, and
it probably saved the frigate, for the course l
was running at the time of my falling in with
the Highfyer, would have brought me into the
midst of his feet during the night"

The London Times ofthe earlypart Of March
made the speech of Mr.. J. @. Adams op the
Oregon question, the occasion Of a villainous
vituperation on that gentleman and of our peo-
pie and institutions generally. Mr.. Adams
was denounced as 'moon-struck bIasphemer,'
the people of the United States described as
essentially corrupt both in morals and desires,
and the government as too weak even if it
had the disposition, to restrain the evil impul-
ses Of the public. This~malignant ebulition
was couched in the high-sounding rhetoric and
skill in dialectics which consti-
tu;o the strength Of the Times, and hence had
quite a run among the admirers Of that Jour
nal as well on this as on the other side the wa
ter. The poison of the piece, has, however,
been more than neutralized by a correspondent
of the same paper, an American, who vindi-
