which brought three of them down, then
clubbing their guns. they rushed on the
surprised blacks.
At the moment the attack was made
by my eoup-de main, / stepped out from
my hiding place behind the door. and
shot the hindmost villain down with my
pistol, and then with all,the fury of ten
thousand devils ! went to work with my
sword, wounding here, killing there, and
shooting those that stabbed at me. At
last,there were but3fve blacks left, and
they forced by me and gained the street.

door violently, thereby shutting them out.

were quickly dispelled by two Of them
dying shortly after, in the most frightful
agony-my dear friend Hancock-dying
shortly after. After our killing so many
of their men, knew that the house

back way and began halooing and boot

met two or three times with single
black in a lonely place. and such was my
hatred of them that could not restrain
myself from killing them. One time af-

he was the murderer. l bounded away,
the others with me. but failed to catch
the fellow. When the blacks made q
sortie I struggled myself in with them.
and came over 10 the side Of my friends,
where l was warmly received. I got
wounded in the engagement. but reveng-
ed myself upon them. for I fought with
all the desperation of madness. -
Another correspondent says: "The rep
resenta.iye Of the Mahratta has set him
self up as king-the very man l wrote
about when was at Cawnpore. This
man has committed the most fearful afro
cities. A boat load Of 1876 women and
children were passing down from Nynee
Tai to Calcutta to be out Of the way.
They were near Cawnpore when he got
hold of them, tied them together one by
one, and mutilated them. An infant oil
month old he took from its mother's
breast, pretending to fondle, and then cut
it into pieces. l am certain that such g
man will not go unpublished"
At Mhow an outbreak occurred few
days since. Most escaped, but one fam.
lily was caught, that of European ser.
geant. The parents were tortured tc
death, and the children stabbed with the
bayonet till the pain became almost un,
bearable; they then squeezed them into 6
box and placed them over slow fire.
