HORRIBLY ATROCITIES IN ISDIA.--The English
papers give numerous accounts of the atrocities
perPetrated on Europeans in India. A letter from
Bangalore says:
we have had an awful time of Il. can assure
you, though we ourselves have been mercifully
kept from alarm and danger. No words can eI-
press the feeling OF horror which pervades society
In lndla, we hear so many private accounts OF the
Tragedy, which are too sickening to repeat.
Inc cruelties committed by the wretches ex-
ceed all BELIEF They took forty eight females
most OF them girls Of from ten to fourteen--many
delicately nurtured ladies-violated them. and
kept them for the base purposes of the he IDS of
the insurrection for a whole week 1.-THE end of
that time they made them strip themselves and
gave them up to the lowest of the people, to abuse
In broad daylight in the streets Of Delhi. They
then commenced the work of torturng them to
death, cutting off their breasts fingers and noses,
and leaving them TO die. One lady was three
days dying. They iayed the face of another lady
and made her walk naked through the street.
Poor Mrs. -, the wife of an officer of the -
regiment, at MeeFut was soon tx pecting her con-
finement They violated her, then ripped her mp,
and, taking the unborn child cast II and her into
the flames. No European man, woman, or child
has had the slightest mercy shown them. l do
not believe that the world ever witnessed more
hellish tOrments than have been inflicted on our
poor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. At Ailahabad they
have Tivaled the atrocities of Delhi. | really
cannot tell you the fearful crueltes these demons
have been guilty of-cutting of the fingers and
toes of little children, joint by joint in sight of
their parents, who reserved for similar treat
ment afterwards.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

THE SUCCESSION That intrigues to shape
the organization of the approaching Congress
having for their ultimate end the purpose of
controlling the next Democratic national nomi-
nation, should so early develop themselves,
conveys melancholy picture of the political
future of the country. 1t shows that the class
OF professional politcians-pests on the face of
society-increases apace, and that corruption
in various ways is beginning seriously to affect
not few of the men of the Democratic organi-
cation, to an extent not previously dreamed of
by the mass of the party. On Friday last, we
took occasion to mention that we had already
heard rumors of such intrigues, and to call at.
tention to their probable evil results in the way
of eventually throwing the Democracy in the
minority, by seriously embarrassing the efforts
OF President Buchanan and his Administration
to carry out, during their term of office, the
principles and policy of the party to the letter.
heretofore 1T has not been customary for the
party In Congress or out Of it to NEEDLE with
the succession question until the time fOr choos-
ing delegates to their national convention might
be near at hand. Instead of doing so, the
hearts and hands of all true Democrats were
engaged In the proper work of making it sure
that whoever might be nominated would sue
eeed by and through the confidence placed by
the country in the party's policy, as illustrated
by its chiefs and other agents when in power.
The idea of the abandonment of that line of
conduct on the part of any owing their position
rs public men to the favor of the Democratic
party strikes us with pain; insomuch as it BODIES
dlsagreements-want of unity of purpose and
action here next winter-whch is the one great
essential to the election Of any Democratic
Presidential candidate, whoever, he may be, in
1860. Through the success of the policy of
President Buchanan-the policy laid down for
his guidance by the Cincinnati Convention-can
reasonable men alone anticipate Democratic
triumph in 1860, for the party is now by no
means In an overwhelming majority of the pop
ular vote, and has for avowed opponents in and
out OF Congress, most skilful, energetic, labo-
rious and experienced men, ready to take every
conceivable advantage of any and all Demo
cratic party famg pas.
How imperatively necessary is it, therefore.
that all thought of scheming for the succession
or OF securing for this or that interest or indi-
yidual profitable jobs, should be abandoned by
all who are to assemble here as Democratic leg
islators IN December, and that they shall fix
their minds and hearts firmly on the purpose of
each doing his share to secure the entire sue
cess Of the measures of the present Democratic
National Administration, which cannot possibly
fail Of success on any point of prime public in
terest, without divesting the party of that pres
tige OF competency to manage public affairs
which, after al, is its greatost element of
strength before the people

The GRANT OF LANDS TO FLORIDA AND Ala
EAMA.-The Commissioner of the General Land
Office has determined the principle on which
the adjustment Of the grant of land by Congress
to the States of Alabama and Florida by the
act of May Is, 1855, is to be made, which is the
basis established by the grant of lands to the
States of Alabama and Mississippi. This de-
cision, though it treats the grant as n sercr0Ity
to Alabama and Florida, recognises the railroad
az continuous road, it being so ordered by the
terms of the act, though running through both
States, and decides that, as the purpose of TIE
grant is to give lands within prescribed limits.
these lands should be co-extensive with the line
o. route, taking care to certify to each Stat,
only such lands as may fall within its geo.
graphical and the prescribed limits.
