AFFAIRS IN lNDIA.-The Providence Jour
nal gives clear view of the condition of
things in the British East Indian empire. We
copy the closing paragraph of the Journals
article upon the subject -
"No less than four major generals have al.
ready been killed or disabled by sickness,
while Major General Lloyd has been dis
placed from his command on account of a Sc
ries of blunders made by him. With the con-
tinued disasters to the English, the great and
continued extension of the mutiny and up
rising everywhere, we very much fear that
the two skeletons Of European armies, that are
before Delhi and the force of Gen. Hayelock,
will be annihilated. Armies move slow eve
rywhere, but particularly in India; and great
caution will have to be taken in not forcing
to too severe trials the new corners, unused to
great fatigue, and i'll such a facilitating eli
mate as they have suddenly been transported
to. The distances between the upper and
lower provinces of India are much greater
than most people suppose them to be. We
are used to seeing the map of Hindostan cover
q space not larger than a map of one Of the
United States, whereas its territory is as large
as the whole region East of the Mississippi,
and the distance from Bombay to Calcutta is
little less than 1900 miles. 1t is stated, too,
that it will require fifty days to send rein
forcements from Calcutta to Delhi"

SPEECH OF Col. PHELPs.-At the dinner
of the Agricultural Society of franklin Coun-
ty, Sept. "a, a complimentary toast to Massa-
chusetts was given. Col. Ansel Phelps, the
member of the Governors Council for the
Franklin and Worcester District, was called
upon to respond. He answered to the call in
the vigorous and patriotic speech, which we
copy below. The following sentiment was
announced
Our Native state-"God save the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts"
Col. Phelps, as a member of the Governors
Council, was called up, and after alludng to
the occasion, and to the sentiment, said-sub-
stantially-
Were Massachusetts new creation, one
that had just taken her place in the family of
States, there would be more necessity for a
word in her behalf. But happily this is not

with much truth, at this moment one Of the
brightest OF the glittering gems that compose
the proud coronal OF independent States of
this, our great American Republic,
Distinguished for the patriotism and intel.
ligence, the moral and social virtues of her
citizens, it is not impertinent TO inquire to
what more than any other cause, she is in
debted for her proud eminence, and com
manding position.
Among the various agencies that have been
instrumental in effecting this result, none, it
is believed, have been more potent than her
system of free schools, SO early planned and
put in operation by our Puritan fathers.
Our fathers believed that the establishment
OF schools was duty they owed to freedom
and religion; and, again, It's worthy Of note,
they resolved that these schools should be
free.
Here, then, was born the grand idea OF free

Applications. With numerous illustrative Di.
agrams. By Edward L. Youmans, author of
the "Class Book of Chemistry chemical
Atlas" &C., &c. l vol. limo. New York
D. Appleton & Co.
This is one of the class of practically useful
books, bringing the principles of science to the
aid of the householder in every part of his bust
ness, as such. The wonders which have been
produced in human economy, within the last hun
bred years, by the application of science to the
arts, is but indication of the improvement
which may be attained in the household arts.
The waste of time, material, and money, which
occurs in almost every family, from the want of
the necessary scientific knowledge, can hardly be
estimated This book is intended to supply this
want, and it is executed in manner that will
commend it to all who may have occasion, land
who has not to use it. We commend it to our
readers, as containing a mass of useful informa-
ton on the subjects of which it treats, that can
no where else be obtained within a reasonable
compass. For sale by a. Baker & Co.

A total Of four millions and six hundred
thousand dollars Of State indebtedness which
Gov. Gardner has prevented by his vetoes
at this moment, when crushing financial
ruin is decimating our business houses, and
when anxiety and alarm are depicted on ev-
cry face, Governor Gardner may with pride
turn to the record of his past acts, and say to
his fellow citizens-"See from what aug
mented taxes have saved you; you entrust-
ed me with power, and l ask you to behold
how for your present benefit that power has
been exercised. Boston Traveller.
The Governors vetoes have not saved a cent
OF augmented taxes" or of present expen-
diture, sat this moment, when crushing inan-
cial ruin is decimating our business houses"
The proposed loans to the Vermont and
Massachusetts,, and the Western Railroads,
which he vetoed in 1856, would have become
due and payable twenty or thirty years hence.
In both instances, moreover, the security was
ample.
The loan of State credit to the Hoosac tun-
mel to the amount of two millions of dollars,
was made in 1864, before Governor Gardner
was elected. The loan is still binding on the
State, and cannot rightly be figured among
Indebtedness which Governor Gardner has
prevented" The matter stands now exactly
as the legislature of 1854 left it.
And lastly, the Kanzas appropriation would
never have been drawn, unless the Governor
had aamself ordered it to be drawn, even if
he had suffered the resolves to pass. The re-
solves provided that the one hundred thou
sand dollars should be placed at his disposal,
to be drawn if an exigencey should arise It
was not necessary for the Governor to veto the
resolves to prevent the expenditure. 1t would
have been wholly under his control at any
rate.-Daily AdUertiser.
