The NewsfromIn India.

Bv the Arabia, arrived yesterday morning.
we have telegraph advices from Madras to 18th
and Calcutta to the 10th of August. The
news is important.
Part of it is positive and may be relied Oh.
The Governor General has at length dsarmed
bis body guard, the finest cavalry regiment in
the Indian army, consisting of picked men,
many of whom have served for years. The
order mex eced, but was silently obey
ed All the depcts of arms and munitions in
Calcutta were diligently guarded, as an out
break was expected on the occasion of the
approaching Mobammedan festival. OF the
Two British armies in Bengal, One-tbat en-
csmped before Delhi-had nor taken the place;
the other-under General Havelock-after
marching to within days journey of Luck
now, had been crippled by cholera and forced
to return to Cawnpore, heavily laden with
sick and stores A body of 300 Infantry had
attacked the mutineers at Dinapore-wi a
view to rescue some English prisoners who
were in their hands-and had barely escaped
annihilation, two hundred of their number be-
ing left on the field
Besides these items of authentic news ru-
mors had reached England by telegraph to the
effect that the mutiny had broke out in the
Bombay Presidency, aud that some officers
and Others had been murdered; also, that Gen.
Reed had died, and that the British army be-
fore Delhi had retreated to Agra, having lost
many men by SOrt1e5 and by cholera. These
rumOrs, though discredted in England, appear
TO us to be quite probable. The wonder has
been for some time how the Bombay Presi-
dency was kept quiet; but for the rigid CEN
sorship enforced over tue press in that Presi-
dency, we should doubtless have heard more
about attempts at mUtiny. As for the army
before Delhi, it would be pleasant thing TO
hear that they were in any place of safety.
We publish elsewhere several English arti-
Giles on the subject of this news. Those who
try to construe it favorably have a hard task
to perform. To ne it seems decidedly uDtavora-
BILE; though, perhaps, not more so than one
was taught to expect from former arrivals.
Until the British reinforcemenJs reach India,
we must prepare to hear of successes on the
part of the mutineers, and more de-
feats, losses and sufferings on tho part
of the garrisons and resident English. The
little handfuls of men who are gathered to-
and Outram, cannot expect TO hold the whole
population OF the country in check for any
length of time
When the troops arrive, England will then
begin to take her vengeance on the natives,
and thus far there is no relaxation of her obvi-
Gus purpose to make that vengeance exemplary
and bloody. Lord Elgin is at Calcutta, where
he will give the government the benefit of HE
advice. He is indeed far better man to be
Governor of hat country than Lord Canning;
and it would-not be singular to hear of the re-
signation of the one, and the accession Of the
other.
But in any case we must be prepared to
hear of more blOodshed, and enormous expendi-
lures of money by the English.-N. 7. Herald

The monthly list of disasters to American
sea-going vessels for the past month, says the
Baltimore Patriot, is unusually heavy. The
list embraces no less than 80 vessels totally
lost, Wig steamers, ships, bark, 5 brigs,
and Is schooners. Besides these there are two
reported missing, and which it is very improb-
able will ever be heard of again, and ten 9TH
ers which went ashore within the month, but
not given over, although several of them may
probably never be got atloat again. The val
ne of the vessels totally lost and missing may
be estimated at $3.50, 900. This does not in
clude the losses of their csrgoes, which, even
allowing for the saving of great portion,
would probably bring the total up to about
double the above amount. The damage to YES
sells not amounting to a total loss would also
most materially increase the figures. The loss
of life by these wrecks would not have been
very serious, considering the number of yes
sells lost, but for the calamity to the steamer
Central America On the others, including
the missing" vessels, probably not more than
about 90 people have been lost. As much the
larger portion of the disasters of the month
took place during the severe gale in which the
Central America foundered and considering
the ferceness and duration of the storm, it is
much feared that more disasters will have to
be recorded.

THE LATE II. S. LEGARE-We are informed
that Mr.. YeadoD, one of the Editors of the
Charleston Courier, leaves town this morning
for his home, having en- Wednesday last dis
charged the duty of disinterring the mortal
remains of the late Hugh Swinton Legare, at
Mount Auburn Cemetery, near Boston. Tie
remains are to be removed to Magnolia Ceme-
terry, near Charleston. Our readers will re-
collect that in 1913, Mr.. Legare, then Attorney
General of the United States during the az
IninistratioD of Mr.. Tyler, visited Boston IN
company with the President and the membets
of tue Cabinet, in order TO take part in the
celebration of the anniversary OF the battle Of
Bunker Hill. On the morning of the anniveF-
Bary he was attacked by disease, which speed
lily terminated bis existence. The city author
tiles of Boston proposed to erect monument
in honor of Mr.. Legare, but the Secretary OF
the Treasury, Mr.. Spencer, considered 1t was
the especial duty of Congress to do so in the
Congressional burying ground. Congress, how
ever, failed to act upon the matter, and re-
Gently the citizens of Charleston have taken
the proper steps to do monumental honor TO
one of South Cardinals most gifted and pat
riotic sons.-N y Herald.

KNOXVILLE. Oct. g. 1857.

D. D. WESDEL, Esq, MurireesborO', Tenn.
Ny Dear Sr:-Yours of the Ist inst, asking
construction of the 18th clause OF the 7th Section
OF the Revenue laws OF 1856, imposing tax upon
circus exhibitions, has been received and the ques
ton considered.
The language Of that clause is as follows: "TO
exhibit for profit any CIRCUS, circus and animal
show, feats of activity strength for each days aud
nights exhibition, fifty dollars" and you desire my
opinion to whether ''circus is taxable for each
exhibition fifty dollars, can it be exhibited TWEEN
ty-iour hours for fifty dollars" While more per-
spicuOus language might have been used to convey
the Legislative will upon this subject yet when this
clause is considered in connection with other legs-
islatiOn upon the same subject matter, the inten
ton is manifest. You will observe that the legisla-
tion of 1856 changes the mode of assessing the State
tax upon the exercise of this kind of privilege.
Heretofore the assessment has been of annual
specific tax for each county in which the exhibition
is made Thus, under the act of 1895, chap. IS,
they taxed fifty dollars annually for leach and
every coGnty in which the same may be exhibited, 4"
and by the act Of l64s, chap. l6I they we're re-
quired to pay annually, tax Of ''seventy-fVe dol
lars for each county in which they were exhibited"
This gave them the privilege of exhibiting often
they pleased in any county during the year for
the annual tax designated so they required
to pay for the privilege Of exhibiting in county,
per amman, fifty dollars, under the Que, and seven
ty-fiVe dollars under the other law. The legisa-
ture of 1856, looking doubtless to the transient
character of these exhibitions, and intending to
levy an approximate amount OF revenue to that de-
rived under the acts of 1885 and ls4s, hxes the
tax at fifty dollars for leach days and nights exhi-
bitiOn;" by which, 10 my judgment, they mean fifty
dollars per diem. You will readily perceive that
this change is likely TO result 10 increase OF the
revenue from this source over that accruing under
the old laws and any other construction would rem
der the tax so enormously large TO amount to a
prohibition. 1t is not the policy of the State thus
to cuEta its resources-to say nothing OF the pros
criptiye rights Of 'young America" to thu 'sports
Of the ring" which might thus be Invaded.
Very truly yours,
JOHN L. 7. SNEED,
Attorney General.

THE TOBACCO CROP IN THE MIAMI VALLEY.-The
tobacco crop in the Miami Valley this year is large,
and the weather has been very favorable for secur-
ing aud preparing 1t for the market. The product
is estimated, by men who have taken pains to in-
form themselves, at about SiS million pounds,
against million Gnd halt last year. At fair re-
munerating prices to the producer, the present
crop of tobacco is estimated TO be worth $780,
The prices last year were much higher OF course
than can be expected this year. But although
narcotic tobacco will not be a drug in the market
this year, large is the yield compared with that

than one hundred and twenty iron screw
