ter from Rev. Alexander Duh who vis;, country few years ago, and who i, Calcutta. The epistle narrates soma a, already known to the public, while it ol. tains statements in addition to those bs.' published by us. We make room fo, ~ lowing extracts:
 JULY 10.-Throughout all ages tbo has been noted for his duplcity cr1";1 pocrisy, treacnery; and coupled with ,b;. indeed, as necessary for eXcelling in tb;s plishment of Jesuitsm-his capacity of' and conceaiment. But in vain will tba even of Asia be ransacked for exarunleo ful, refred, conSummate dupljcitv, su,. those which have been exhibited tbrn. the recent mutuies. h almost every in, the SepovS succeeded iu couceamg the, concocted and deep laid murderous desjr, the most viglant officers to the very la and in not only concealing them, but in n them under the most flaming professi attachment and loyalty. The case of il native infantry at Allahobad, is thus reo as the result of authentic information of our Calcutta journals:
 It appears that after the officers of gment first left the lines, a subadar paid to Lieut.. Slaines, the interpreter, aud ey, lated with them, in the name of the rey, upon the want of confidence which the, displayed. Come to us,' he said 'w faithful, we love our good masters. Wa protect you, but 1t gives us pain to see yo1 pect us SlalneS and his wife, who was m. at the interview, were melted even to tea, the simple eloquence of the man whom had insulted, as well as his fellows, by, o-thy suspicious. There was bu, course left to take to return to the boS the regiment, to throw themselves Upon hearts of the men-and this course thev solved to adopt, persuading the other of of the regiment and their families to A their example.
 When they returned to the regimen scene which awaited them touched the h Of all present The men whom they bad l jected, in moment of narrow minded ar hension, were found drawn up to receive officers, and welcomed them with three h. English cheers. The native officers, unab control their feelings, which swelled hgb sent their warm Asiatic blood coursing l veins, in defiance of all cold rules of dey and hollow military observances-gave ye the natural and simple emotions of ther hearts. They flung themselves aroult necls of their European officers who h generously atoned for ther cruel susp and kissed them on both cheeks. Then ciliation was complete, confidence was |. restored, and that same night the native G and men rose and proceeded to the WI massacre"
 1 This is the regiment which some timeb | had expressed such extra zeal and loyalr they enthusiastically plead to be allow. proceed to Delhi to punish the mutiuee. l whose tredcherous and cruel conduct | spoke with vehement deteStatiOn. IuJ still further to prove their loyalty they and again delivered up spies, who had ca. spread sediti0n among them. 50 comp. was the -veracity of their profession cou in, that Lord Canning sent them d special of thanks, which was publicly read to the parade on a certain evening, at six o'clock the reading of which elcted three h cheels for the company. On that evenu- nine o'clock, a gentleman on the rampa | the fort, observing a rocket go up, said magistrate near him, Whats that?" ." said inc latter, |" is only d marriage" \ To! another rocket followed. It was the agreed on by the "staunch and loyal ' when the mess-h house was attacked, and $. teen out of the twenty uuarmed, conf T: i cers assembled there were instantane butchered in cold blood-their shriehs heard a, considerable distance. The e of the regiment, who. up to the last, laJ- at the idea of precautionary measures necessary, and who would not believe th men would mutjny until the balls flew tn his hat and sleeves, contrIved to escape ' . fort with his life.
 { Then commenced the work of plg and devastatlon-the destruction of pro throughout the town and its vicinity, most complete-the bungalows in the ca meuts, and all the British residences. being lu a blaze-the new railway station, wi buildings, and machinery, and carriages extensive American mission press premise schools, all laid waste-the public tres bank and Storehouses pllaged; in short, a few days the whole city of Allahabad, tlining one hundred and twenty ,housal habitantS, was not only sacked and raw but literally reduced to one vast mass of aud ashes.
 JULY 15.-The case of Jharsi, the ca. of petty State in Bundelcuus, to the Vt. AlIahaaad is one of the most deplorabie. Sppoys having mutuied, some of the off effected their escape, and others were kis But the major part of the Europeans, to number of fifty-hve, inclusive of the ladies children, got possession of the fort anu several days kept good their position--tb: dies assisting the gentlemen in cooking fort sending them refreshments, casting bullets Though beginning to be much straig ghtene want ot provisions, they still hell out, ul. last the mutlnrerS assisted with guns and phants by the Rani or Queen succeeded u iectIng an entrance at once to the gates. did the proverbal faithlessne>s of the Asa receive a fresh illustration. The geutlems some ot whom were famous marksmen, or them having killed no less than twentv-f the rebels with his own hand--were soleu promised, that # they laid down their arm, gave themselves up quietly, the lives d would be spared Unfortunately for th selves, their wives and little ones, they , induced to listen to these promises, and c out. No sooner had they done so than . were tied in long line between some r and had their heads struck off Such l4d. had children were doomed to see them cs halves before their turn came. Then folio scenes of dishonor and torture too hideol narrate--these murdercus savages, like tigers which inhabit their jungle, seemng.r lighting to play with their victims before patching them.
 In other cases where father and mother been killed, and little children have mad ehort to run away, they have been casgh. thrown into the flames of the burning ho Such crueltieS, outraging as they do ever oI humanity, are earning for the perpetn universal eXecration.
 In another well authenticated case the Pean servant of mess was seized aud s cut into small pieces, and portions of his torced down the throatS of his children, they were themselves cruelty destroyed, the native servants of the same mess ' marked by the brutal mutineers by bs thelr hands, and ears, and noses cut off"
 Elsewhere the Sepoys took up living dren by the legs, with their heads hal downwardS, and tore them up in two. l. Instance, four children of one family wer barbarouSl y torn up before the eyes of {. father and mother, who themselves were afterwards shockingly abused and butca Indeed, know nothing in history compr to these atrocities, except those perpetrare. the bloody Piedmoutese" on the Walde, witnesses.
