An Indian, who witnessed The scenes Of
the massacre at Cawnpore, and has writ.
ten out an account of it says that General
Wheelers youngest daughter was taken
by Sepoy to his house, a captive. She
went with him without making any resist
ence, but at night rose quietly and got hold
of the Sepoy's sword. He was asleep, and
in the house with him was his wife son, and
mother-in-law. The young lady killed all
of them, and then threw herself in a well
behind the house. In the morning the
murder was discovered. The cry was
raised, "Who has done this?" and upon
looking into the well, the heroine was found
there, dead and swollen. The Indian who
tells Of this tragedy says:
81 have seen the fearful slaughter house,
and also saw one of the 1st Native Infant
ry men, according to order, wash up part
of the blood which stains the floor before
hanging. The quantities Of dresses; clog
ged thickly with blood, ehildren's frocks,
frills, and ladies' underclothing of all kinds,
also boys trousers, leaves of Bibles, and Of
one book in particular, which seems to be
strewed over the whole place, called Prep
aration for Death, also broken daguerreo-
types, cases only, lots of them, and hair,
some nearly yard long; bonets all bloody,
and one or two shoes. 1 picked up bit
of paper, with on it. .Ned's hair, with
love- and opened and found little bit tied
up with ribbon. The first fellows that
went in, believe, saw the bodies with
their arms and legs sticking out through
the ground. They had all been thrown in
heap in the well.

shipments of Coin from Eng.
land.

land.
A recent number of the London Time,
says:
aThe fact that notwithstanding several
recent large arrivals of gold from Austria.
liza, the supply to meet the Continental
demand has been insufficient to prevent
some Withdrawals from the Bank, seems
to hold out discouraging prospect with
regard to the immediate course of the mo-
ney. Since the reduction of the rate ol
discount to 81 per cent, in the middle Of
July, the amount held by the Banks has
experienced diminution of about flOO,.
600, and this decline would have been
still Crater if the requirements for India
and China by the two last packets had
not suddenly slackened."
The Times then goes on to say that
the panic in New York had cut off the re-
ceipts of gold from this country for few
weeks, from which they had been getting
&20O,O 900, week, but looks for an early
change for the better (not anticipating the
present state of things in this country
and adds:
"With the return of confidence, there
fore, not only will the usual shipments be
resumed, but many arrears will have to be
met, and as the fortnightly consignments
from California continue to reach New
York, the ability TO meet these calls may
be expected rapidly TO revive. 1t may be
hoped, therefore, that during the next two
or three months our receipts from that
quarter will again at least suffice, with the
quantities from Australia, to keep the
stock in the Bank of England from fur
ther reduction"
Here, it will be seen, the whole hope of
saving the bullion in the Bank of Eng
land from disastrous drain, is founded
on resumption of the weekly shipments
of coin from this side to London; and We
may readily conclude that when English
fnanciers awake TO the fact that instead
of shipping coin TO them We are calculat-
ing about drawing it from them, it will
give an entirely different tone to their
views. If the Bank of England depends
on receipts from this country to meet the
drain to the East, it is plain that she can
not long stand a reversal to the current
from her to this country Gaz,

Fire Mt the Penitentiary.
nbus Journal saws

| lie COluulDuS 0OHTUOt says.
The number of prisoners thrown out o.
work by the fire is two hundred and fifty
Many of them, however, will have plenty
to do in removing the rubbish and making
ready for the re-establishment of the shops
1t is the intention of the Warden, Mr.. Ew.
ing, to turn the hospital into workshop
and remove the sick into the chapel. This
arrangement of course will be only tempo
rary. BY this We can give employment to
fifty hands.
Most of thewalls and the chimnies are
still standing, and a good portion of them
will not have to be pulled down. Mr..
Ewing estimates the loss to the State by
the fire, exclusive of the loss of material,
DC, in the tailor and shoe shops and meal
mill at five thousand dollars.
1t is supposed that the fire was accident
al, and caught from the boiler fire of the
Ohio Tool Company, as it first was discov-
cred near there.
There was large quantity of combusti-
bic material in the shops, and the blaze
therefrom illuminated the whole city.
Mr.. Ewing, the Warden, informs us that
he expects to have the shops going again
in about three weeks. He has already
contracted for the lumber No time will
be lost.
During the fire the prisoners we've safely
locked in the cells. Had the wind been
high, and in on opposite direction, it is
probable that the entire prison would have
been destroyed. Had such calamity
been imminent, the prisoners would have
been released from their cells, and many,
doubtless, would have effected their es-
cape. As it is, no prisoner has been lost.
Mr.. Ewing and his assistants deserve great
praise for their frmness and decision du-
ring this trying occasion.

Minnesota Election ..- Gross
EraUdls.

The st. Paul Mnnesotian of the 2otn
: publishes the reported and official malon.
ties for Governor from SO counties, nearly
the whole State. The footing are Rabsey,
Republican. $40; Sibley Democrat,
. sI5s, So close is the contest.
3 Gov Medary writes from st. Paul to
: the Ohio Statesman on the 18th, that "the
/: Democrats have elected the Governor and
STATE ticket entire, the three members of
Congress and majorities in both branches
ofthe Legislature" This is highly proba-
bic, as the Minnesotian of the goth as
serts that 500 illegal votes were polled in
St. Paul; that at st. Anthony and Min
neapolic Irish voters were trasported from
one poll to another and their votes were
taken at each; that in the little county Of
Manomin the Democratic majority is dou-
ble the legal voters in the county; that at
Mendoza the Democratic majority is larger
than the entire vote of the precinct; that
at Invergrove the Democratic majority is
so when so would be the full and honest
vote of the precinct; and that the Winnie
bago and Sioux Indians voted under the
direction of the Indian agents in their
. tribes. After giving details of the above
frauds, the Ainnesotian adds:
As if the cup of ilIegality and rascality
was not yet sufficiently full by these out
RACES, a NOSE wholesale, if not more
gross and palpable one. is foreshadowed by
the reports of enormous majorities, or
rather ''all the votes" cast for the Demo
cratic ticket in an alleged county called
Davis, and an alleged county styled Pearce.
If these reports are merely reports, put out
as feelers, to test the patience and for
bearance of the community and the Re-
eublican party, it will be sufficient to pro-
nouce them false and groundless, without
shade of law to authorze the existence
of such counties, without any population
to east such votes. 1t is fraud from be-
ginning to the end, from top to toe, the
whole of it conceived in sin and brought
forth in inquity. 1t is an attempt to re-
viye here in Minnesota, the supplement
tal," bogus, fraudulent election returns by
which the Democracy of Wisconsin sought
to re-elect Barstow governor of that State ;
and which the Supreme Court flung aside,
with reprobation and contempt. If per-
sisted in here, if by such fraud Mr.. Sib-
ley is declared elected, il will not be
submitted to, neither now nor hereafter
The Republican people of Minnesota know
their rights, and knowing dare maintain
them.

LETTER FROM SENATOR SUMNER.-The
following extract from recent letter Of
Charles Sumner indicates the interest which
he feels in the pending political struggle
in this country:
HEIDELBERG, Sept. IL, 1857.
"MY DEAR -: Weeks have now
passed since / have seen letter or q
newspaper from home, During this time l
have been travelling away from news, and
l am now farnished. On my arrival al
Antwerp l trust to find letters at least.
/ have been ransacking Switzerland;
have visited most of its lakes, and have
crossed several of its mountains on mule
back. Ny Strength has not allowed me
TO venture upon any of those foot expedi-
tions which are the charm of Swiss travel
and by which you reach places out of the
way; but | have seen much, and have gain
ed health constantly.
u have crossed the Alps by the St
Bernard, and then recrossed by the Grand
ST. Bernard, passing night with the
monks and dogs; l have passed day at
the foot of Mont B,anc, and another day
on the wonderful Lake Leman. l have
been in The Pyrenees, in the Alps, in the
Channel Isles. You will next hear of me
in the Highlands of Scotland.
Il see our politics now in distant per
spective; and l am more than ever salts
fed that our course is right. 1t is slave
ry which degrades our country a'd pre-
vents its example from being all-cor quer-
ing. In fighting our battle at home, We
are fighting the battle of freedom every

'newed determination to give myself to our
great cause.

Russian Man-Of-War Sank.S62
Lives Lost.

1t was announced by telegraph that
400 lives had been lost by the sinking Of
a Russian Man-ofwar. The loss of life
was s26, every person on board. A Rus
sian fleet of four ships sailed from Revel
bound to Cronstadt. The ship Lefort, 81
guns capsized and sank during the tenn
pestuos night of September 22d. The
ships were in company, and in veering Vi
olent squall laid the Leford on her side.-
She soon foundered, her keel once appear
ed, and was then swallowed up in the
waves. Though some of the other ships
were but four cables length distant 10
windward, not cry of distress was heard,
and no one survives to explain the cause
of the unparalleled catastrophe. Exclusive
of the commander and ~ officers, the YES
sci had on board 743 seamen, So women,
and II children. There were about fifty
families, consisting of the wives and chill
dren of the crew who were intending to
spend the winter at Cronstadt.
