since. On Monday last it came out in an ar
ticle on State politics, repudiating Banks and
supporting Gardner for Governor. We re-
gard this course as somewhat singular. Be-
fore its amalgamation with the atlas and
Chronirie it was strictly neutral in politics +;
when it was united with those papers and
taken in charge of by Mr.. Bowles, it was UNI
dcrstood to take the political stand of the
-Ihos-a leading, staunch, Republican paper.
How far lie anticipations of its Republican

the place of the .lHaS as a leading political

India News--Terrible Massacres.

We publish on our first page an account
of frightful massacre at Cawnpore, in which
men and women were butchered with all the
atrocities that demons could devise. By a
later arrival from Europe VIC have somewhat
later intelligence. BY e. telcgraphic dispatch
to Cork, Ireland, Sept II, it appears that
"Gen. Havclock's force for the rcoccupation
of Cawnpore had in eight days marched l26
miles and fought four actions with Nena So

point of numbers, and had taken twentvfour
guns of light calibre; and that too i'll the
month of July, in India. On the morning
of the 18th Of July the force marched into

lea remained ahoat, when it became evident
that they were likely at any moment to be
buried beneath the waves, wealthy men d.
vested themselves of their treasure belts and
scattered the gold upon the cabin floors. tell
ing those to take it who would, lest its weight
"a few ounces or pounds-should carry
them to their death. Full purses, containing
in some instances $4,000 were lying untouch-

men and the shining'metal was poured out
on the floor with the prodigality of deaths
despair. One of the passengers. who has
fortunately been rescued. opened bag and
dashed about the cabin $4,000 in gold dust,
and told him who wanted to CRAFTY his greed
for gold to take it. But it was passed bv
as the veriest dross. A few
