British RnIe in India.

That the gravest yaAd most important
events frequently hinge-upon circumstances,
trivial in their nature, aud apparently dis
connected, the history of the world furnish
es many an example. Had not the Chi
nese authorities at Caution fred without
provocation upon British lorcha, aud
maltreated its crew, it is probable that
Great Britain would now be reduced TO
the necessity Of reconquering Hindostan.
The occurrence to which we have above
alluded led to the bombardment Of Can
ton-the declaration of war against China,
and the concentration Of large naval and
militray force in the Chinese waters, about
the time of the commencement Of the In
dian insurrection, with which the authori-
ties were enabled to make some headway,
at least, against the mutinous Sepoys OF
the Bengal Presidency. Upon circunl-
stance so trivial, the perpetuation Of Brit
sh rule in India has apparently been made
to depend-for, if there had not been an
available force at hand, no eifectual resist
ance could have been offered, and every
vestigo Of British domination would have
been swept away long before re-entorce-
ments could have been received from Eng
land. The most serious phase which the
insurrection ut the present time presents, is
the difficulty experienced in raising an army
in Europe for service in India, for few are
adventurous enough to brave climate in
which it is impossible for the white man to
exist without those comforts and luxuries,
care and attendance, which cannot often
be found in the camp, on the march, in the
trenches, or on the battlefield. In order
TO obyate the difficulty in raising troops
for India, some OF the New York journals
have, in kind Of indirect way, suggested
the. possibility of the British Government
being able TO recruit an army Of one hun
dred thousand men in the United States
and one or two of them have gone so iai
as to argue that there would be no impro
prieiy in doing so, from the fact that We
have no official knowledge of the existence
of any such potentate as the Emperor o
Delhi and the Lord Of India" Aud thest
arguments are put forward by the very
journals which were the loudest in thei
expression of indignation when the attemp
to recruit for the Crimean army in TIN
Eastern States was lirst discovered If i
was breach Of our neutrality laws for ;
foreign power to enlist men during th,
Russian war, Of so grave nature as t.
Justify the dismissal OF Mr.. Champion, anC
the withdrawal Of the eIeqwatur of tn,
British ConSuls at the ports of New Yorl
and Philadelphia, the raising of an arm.
for service in India would equally be a vic
lation Of our laws, though the American
I Government has no representative at th
Court of the King of Delhi, and no rela
tions of any kind exist between the tw
countries.
We alude to this branch Of the subject
not because we think that the British Go,
ernmcnt would again be imprudent enoug
to violate our neutrality laws, but for tn
> purpose of exhibiting the Inconsistency s
often observable in journalism 1t is prol

Gains on Account Of Indian DepredaliOnS
In Washington Territory.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has
received by mail from California, from
Gov. Stevens, complete copy Of all claims
tlsd in the office of the Superintendent of
Indian Affairs for Washington Territory on
GcOunt Of Indian deprcdations committed
nterior to, and during the existence Of
as Indian war in that Territory.
The total amount of these claims is set
down at $2l1, ,428 IA, of which $9,442 II
Te on account Of depredations committed
Fsvious to the Indian war commencing in
October, 1855, and $20l ,9s5 81 on ac-
count Of depredations committed during
'hs existence Of that war.
From the documents before us We learn
hat, at one time, the entire counties Of
Walla-Nalla and Skamania, and nearly the
Whole Of the counties of King and Pierce,
we're actually in the possession Of the hos
ue Indians. This will account for the
afge amount of the claims in these coun-
ues, whilst the loss sustained by some OF
ne other counties was comparatively tri-
mAg The aggregate of the claims Of the
our counties of Walla- walla, Skamania,
Ang and Pierce, is $1SS, l49 20.
1t is the opinion Of Gov. Stevens that
Se sum total of these claims, as presented
n u 1e documents alluded to, is considera'
Wy less than the actual loss sustained, as o
a'g' majority of the cases are those oi
@eA who, with their families, we're driven
aTa their farms, and compelled to seek
aNg in block-houses and towns, and as
T%0y persons who have lost property by
.1uian depredalions have made no claim
.y.Ast the government whatever. Nc

either would lose him the racs by dis.
lance Of 26o yards, and. although this
estimate has been recently questioned .
we have the authority Of the late J. G.

he had a mare so closely equal to Black
Maria. for single dash Of four miles.
that he never knew which would win,
as the least shade Of difference in condi-
ton would win or lose the dash to either;
and that, in order to prove the truth of
the old dogma to his own satisfaction,
he had tried the two mares interchang-

found that the carrier Of the extra seven
pounds was beaten by the other dis.
