The STATE OF INDIA.-The dispersed rem
nant OF the Bengal army is heing hunt d down
by European, Sikh, peasant, and Budmash,
for the sake of the plunder which each fugi-
tive bears about him Every mans hand is
against the mutinous Sepoy At Fyzabad,
the rebels would not face US, not even with
the odds OF fifteen to one in their favor. The
condition of Indian finance Is q serious sub
Ject. 1t appears that We shall ere long have
added, since the rebellion broke out E4O,-
900, 600 sterling to our English and Indian
debt, about $4,000 900 per annum increase
OF deficit The levies of Sikh troops, In addl-
ton to the heavy increase of European troops,
easily account for this startling expenditure.
The fidelity of the Sikhs has been somewhat
questionable of late. If these warlike mer-
cenaries should turn upon us, the conse-
quences would be most serious. They are
beginning to know their strength and to
measure ours. On the 10th of July, the 10Th
PuDjaub Infantry mutinied, but the design
OF tho rlngleaders was checked by the promp-
tltude and decision OF Major Gardner, of the
10th Native Infantry. The 9th Police Bat
TALON and the Punjaub Battery were impli-
Gated, and the mutineers counted upon the
Sd Slkhs, called Renny's regiment. a num-
Der OF MaSwa Sikhs were scattered through
the ranks of the dIsatfected troops for the pur-
pose of exciting them to mntiny. Sir John
Lawrence is apprehensive of danger from the
Sikhs; but that experienced and valuable
administrator has succeeded in reotoring tn e
utmost tranquility to Delhi. With the ex-
cepton OF Dude, Rajpootana, and Scinda,
quiet may be said to be restored throughout
the whole OF our indian possessions. The
Begun is still in the field, and smart CON
test was apprehended in the Gwalior district,
through the deieetion OF feudatory of Scin-
dia, who had garrisoned himself with 1000
men near Lepree. Brigadier Smith was about
to give an account of this rebel instalmeht.
The story of the abduction Of the treasure at
Jhansi is now understood to be without foun-
dation. letter from Lucknow states that
$4,000 rebels deserted in one night from be-
fore Sheh-gunge on hearing of the advance of
Sir ]. Grant Mana Sahib contrives to elude
us and to travel about With his zenana, al.
though sum Of GI0, 900 is offered for his ap-
prehension. 1t is SAID that he has passed into
Nepaul, AM that he drowned his wives and
children in crossing the Raptee; but this sto.
ry reads like one of the innumerable 'shaves'
of Indian camps and Indian newspapers.-

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.-Hon. Frank p. Blair.
Jr.. publishes letter in reply to Isaac Il.
Sturgeon, declining TO answer certain inter.
rogatOries of the latter in reference to con-
versation between him and Senator Douglas,
IN Washington, last Winter, on the ground of
his holding private conversation sacred. He
says, however, that the letter written by him
to b. Gretz Brown was in strict accordance
with the wishes of Judge Douglas himself,
and that he deemed that the object of the in
tervlew was to mitigate to him the hostility of
the radical Democrats and press Of st Louis.
lie also states that he had no agency whatever
IN giving currency to the contents Of that let
ter, and that the character of the invitation
and message of Judge Douglas, received
through Mr.. Colfax of Indiana, was not such
as to prepare him for hearing Mr. Douglas
calling for three cheers over Mr.. Blar's defeat
in his district

SINGULAR DEsERTION OF YOUNG MAR
RIED LADY.--A Scotchman of the name of ].
J. Clark, few years ago upon the death of
his father Ia wealthy Glasgow merchant, who
had been engaged in the West India trade,1
became possessed of handsome fortune.-
Shortly afterwards, he married young Scotch
lady of education, engaging manners, and
prepossessing appearance, with whom he came
to this country about six months ago, and af-
ter visiting all the principal cities and places
of interest," recently went to Philadelphia and
made sojourn there of about three weeks
during which period they stopped at the house
of Mrs. Stanley, No. 307 Spruce street, where
Mr.. Clark privately prepared himself during
the visits OF his wife among her acquaintan-
ces. When ready for a start, he accompa-
MED his wife to the residence of one of her
friends, and there lett her under pretence of
going to see a ship launched, when he re-
turned to his boardng-house and carried off
his baggage, and with his servant started for
parts unknown, taking with him his wifes
watch and jewelry and leaving behind him
letter addressed to his wife, wishing her
" Good bye,' and inclosing $40. Mrs. Clark
after telegraphing to the police of this city,
Immediately came on to New York. The
case was given to officer King to work up
He soon ascertained that Mrs. G. had only So
of the $40 left, whereupon he invited the dis
tracted young lady (for she Is yet only nine
teen years old) to go to his house and become
enc of his family while he was engaged in
ferretng out some information for her. The
first clue of the runaway was that he had put
up at Lovejoy's Hotel under the name of
Muir-that, with his servant, he had started
for Albany the day before. Upon this dis
covery, Mrs Clark, provided with passage
ticket, started for Albany in pursuit. On her
arrival there she ascertained that her faithless
lege lord had stopped one day and night at
Stanwix Hall, and while there, he had got
his servant into state of intoxicaton, and
then given him the slip, starting off westward
alone; and that the servant on coming TO his
senses, had gone in pursuit of his master
Mrs. G. followed in the lightning train, and
ere this, it is hoped and believed, she will
have overaken her truant husband. What
motive Mr.. Clark can have had for thus sim
| gularly attempting to desert his wife is quite
a mystery.-NeW York Tribune.

THREE MEN SUFFocATED.-A sad accident
occurred at the Bowman Rosin Oil Works,
Pine Island, Roxbury, at about nine o'clock,
this morning.
In the building is large iron still Capable
of holding several hogsheads. At the bot. J..
tom of this still the pitchy substances collect
and harden, and it is necessary, after the still
has cooled off, for the workmen to enter by
means of a ladder and cut off the collections
with a chisel,
This morning, workman named Lyons
entered the still for this purpose, but unfortu-
nately, a sufficient time had not been allowed
for the iron to cool and the noxious gases to
escape through a hole opened for that pur-
pose. In short time he was heard to fall,
when Mr.. Nathaniel Butler, and finally Mr..
Dennis Butler, the Superintendent of the es-
tablishment went to his relief but they were
overcome and perished before relief could
reach them. The cooper of the establishment
was present, but was prevented from entering
the still by workmen of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Butler, the superintendent, was TWEEN
ty-seven years of age, and leaves wife and
children, 1raUeller, Oct. 26.
