English Torture in India.

The London Weekly Times publishes an extract from an English work, entitled "The Srpoy Revolt ny Henry Mead," which has lately been published in London
 The following IS the extract:
 The following list of the tor,ures current in rrayoncore was prepared in l848. by an Eng fish gentleman of the highest respertabi!iev at | that tune, aGd for many years previously resid- ing in hat country. It will be seen that the operator had an extensive choice in his modes of treatment. and c'uld deal with any kind of subject in any locality. Some of the kinds of torture were constantly practced, others with less irequencv; but there were a few of the government servants who had learned the whole system, aud could apply any example of per suasive treatment that might be reouired- Beating hardly comes under the head of tor ture though the Burmese method of layino the patient down on the face and kneeding his back with the elbows of d strong man. approaches very near 1t.
 Our catalogue should commence with rack ing the arms backward with cords frightened with increasing severity.

Cr Col. E. A. WARsES addressed large crowd at this place last Saturday night. Hls theme of course was the True Democrat. Next week we shall notice such points in bis remarks as we deem worthy of attention. His whole speech of last Saturday night was different from what we were led to believe of his speeches at Camden and Washington, for though differing wi,h us upon the proiriety of his votes in Con- gross, he was very complimentary to curself and paper. We had understood his speeches here toiore were filled with bitterness

The Independent Know Nothing Candi-
 date for Gfata Senator

 Capt. Danley takes occasion now and then to be very severe upon Gov. Conway. It is not our purpose just now to defend the Governor, but since Danley has brought up his name so conspicuously before the people, we propose to contrast few of his acts while Auditor, with some of Danley's while holding the same office. Our first subject will be that of
 CLERK HIRE IN THE AUDITORS OFFICE.
 The records of the Auditors office show: The amount ot money paid out of he State Treasury tor clerk hire. bs ELIAS N. CONWAY, from June, 1886, to January, lS49-a period 9 ttoe1ue gears ana c ha!f-,oas $6,12S %.
 The amount cf money paid out cf hhe Treasury for clerk hire, Jy c. c. Darley from Jaauary 1S49, to September, 1854-a period of only fve and haIf years-,oas s8,358 "A
 Showing that Capt. Danley, during a term of only .fve and ha!f years, expended for clerk hire $23o "A more of the peoples money than Elias N. Conway did in taoelve gears aud ha!t.
 The great cause of this wide difference in the economical administration of the Auditors office by these two officers is accounted for by the fact that Gov. Conway did most of the la bor of the office himself, while on the other hand Capt. Danley employed clerks to do it at the expense of the State. Conway worked and Danley did not Conway discharged the duties of the office himself and Danley hired clerks to do it.
 SERVANT HIRE IN THE AUDITORS OFFICE.
 During the twelve years and half that Eli as N. Conway was auditor of public accounts he never employed servant at the expense Of the State to wait upon him.
 During the five and half years that Capt. Danley was auditor he paid out of the State treasury the sum of one Hundred and thirty fve doaars and fifty cents for " se'vant hire"- Capt. Danley was the first public officer in the State who n addition to his regular salary, re- qured the people to pay for servant to wait upon him.
 In these two matters of clerk and servant hire we show the contrast between Gov. Con- way and his assailant Capt. c. c. Danley- Let the people examine them. The facts as we state them are matters of record in the au- ditors office.

0 We Intend, as soon as we can procure the proper data, 10 send to our readers some facts touching the character of our State. In order to make these of a reliable character, 1t will be necessary for us to have some statisti- cal information from each county. We have prepared and sent to each clerk, a letter and a blank to be filed and hope that each will fur nish us with the information asked for. It will be but little trouble to them, and confer a great favor on us

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18th. 1858.
 Adjournment cf Congress-Search cf American
 Vessels Utah- The approp'rations-R Rumor- ed change m the Cabinet Treasury notes--1 he 1 fall elections at the north--TAe contest in 186O-- Wagon road from Fort Smith, etc., etc. Both houses of Congress adjourned on Mon- | day, but the President called the Senate to- | gether on the same day for the consideration of executive business, and after a short and unnterestng session it adjourned on Wednes- day. The only matter of importance acted on by it was the adoption, by unanimous vote, of resolutions relative to the search of Ameri- can vessels by British cruisers. The resolutions declare that the recent violations committed, by vessels of war belonging to the navy of Great Britain, on American vessels by firing into, interruptng and otherwise forcibly de- tanng them on their voyage, such unequivocal and final disposition of the subject, by the go- vernment of Great Britain aud the United States. touching the rights involved, as shall satisfy the just demands of this government, and preclude hereafter the occurrence Of like aggressions, and that the Senate fully approves the action of the President in sending naval force into the gulf to protect our vessels from search or detention. There is no probability | of war on account of the outrages commltted, as it s thunderstorm the British government has expressed its disapprova of the conduct of its naval officers in their action in this matter, and its willingness to punish the offenders and make ample reparation to this government
 A great amount of business was done the few last days of the session, but two propos'- tior.s engrafted on the appropriation bill by the Senate failed as the House refused to concur in them. They provided for the increase oi the rates of postage on letters from three to privilege, in view of the present condition of the finances of the post office department, very important measures The bill relative to the district courts Of Arkansas failed to pass the House for want of time, but presume it will become law at the next session.
 The latest news from Utah somewhat mys- ti6es the state of affairs there, and doubts are raised as to the peaceful intentions of the Nor mons. They have entirely deserted Salt Lake City, but their troops remain ill Echo canon as is ated by them for the purpose of preventing treachery. They are going to place called l Prov, forty miles from Salt Lake City, which they intend fortifying 10 prevent molestation. It is probable the government may deem t ad- visab'e to send forward all the troops concen- trateI on the western frontier, but if it should not, the posts west of Arkansas will be at once supplied with an adequate force.
 | The appropriations of the late session amount to S68,O0O,OOO, being twelve or fifteen million less than that authorized by the black republ.- can and know nothing House of 1857. and this amount too includes all the expenses of the Mormnn expedition.

This gentleman arrived home day or two We regretted to learn from him that the health of his daughter, who Is lying dangerously i'll in Chicot county, is such as 10 compel his return to her in few days. It will be impossible, he informs us to canvass the county. He is prevented by a misfortune against which he could not pro,ide.
 To the people of Pulaski t is needless for Us to urge any thing in Sandy Faulknel's behalf He is well known to them all, and as widely esteemed as known. His character as an up- right man Is without a stain or blemish He appears before the people withou; sin to ans wer for. He his always been demo rat, good and true. He has always been faithful to the principles he professed has always acted with the democratic party, and has always been earn est in its support.
 Col Faulkner has never sought office, and he Is now a candidate to represent the people of Pulaski county in the next Legislature, not by his own wish but at the solicitation of his party. He is one of those men who, though he does not desire office, believes that his services are always subject to the demands of his fellow citizens. If elected, he will make an honest and an able legislator, and will discharge his duties to his constituents with zeal and fidelity.
