INDIA THROWN OPEN TO SET
TIERS.

Hitherto Indls, though for century
past in British hands, has never been open
to the settler and land owner. Old tradi-
tions have prevailed, and that theory Of
Asiahc government by which all lands
pertains to the Sovereign. Landed prop
cry in India has never been an English
mans possession Independent settlers
have never been encouraged Englishmen
hare come home wealthy with yellow skins
and diseased liyers, but always accumu1a-
ted their fortunes in Government service
The result has been that India has known
no progress. This state Of its affairs IS noted,
and simultaneously change for the better
announced in the London Times Of the
29th. Lord Canning BY action taken Oct.
18th, has opened India to the settler, and
at q rate within the reach Of the humblest.
Says the Times article:
Lord Canning breaks the spell, and proclaims to

From the London American, Nov. 27th-1
On Monday evening an 55hpromptn Union
meeting Of Americans aHd their friends was
convened at one Of their London Headquarters,
in honor Of the recent naval victory at Beau-
fort. The greatest unanimity Of sentiment
prevailed, and the entire success Of tie Fed
Grnl arms was unhesitatingly predicted. A
gentleman from GcoFsia, occupying promi-
nent judicinl position in that State, and al cx-
tcnsivc slayeowuer, declared to the meeting
that no less than two-thlrds OF the people of
Georgia still cherish an answering If
fection for the Union and the Constitution,
md when the time comes that the Government
can give them the power to deliver their State
from the clutches Of treason they will not be
found faltering. He stated that with twenty
thousand well armed soldiers he could put
down every vestige Of rebellion in southwest
| crn Georgia, Florida and Northern Alabama.
! Slu7cowRer as he is, his whole possessions
| and his fa1nily being still in the South, lie
| stated that he had the utmost confidence in
/ the integrity Of A1r Lincoln, and declared that
| when tie Federal war vessels captured the
| forts at Hatteras Inlet the daylight began to
I dawn, that the sun rose above the horizon Mt
| the fall Of Beaufort, and he fEmly believed
that it would soon shine upon the country
| from the zenith.
An eloquent and philosophical address was
given to the meeting by a gentleman who oc-
cupies Il deseryedly prominent position on one
| of the most influential Metropolitan morning
Journals. Had the speaker been q native 81
the United States he could not have spoken
| more epcouragingly or enthusiastically of Re.
publican institutions.
We wish that all England could have heard
tie declarations made by our friend from
Georgia, and all America hare listened to tht
fratefnal and sympathetic words Of the British
Journalist.
Before the breaking up Of the meeting it Wa:
determined that an ovation should be lender
ed, by friendly English gentlemen and loEa
Americans resident in London, to the latt
Coumandcr-in-C Chief Of tile United State:

Change OF Schedule.

Attention is called to the new schedule by the
Southern Railroad, which goes into effect Oh sun,
day, the 30th. 1t will be seen that important
changes, and the most desirable CONNEXIONS lol
between Vicksburg and New Orleans has been
shortened several hoars, by the improved connec-
tons made by both the Eastern and Western trans
of the Southern Railroad with the Northern ana
Southern trains of the New Orleans, Jackson and
Great Northern Railroad at Jackson, and from the
same cause, it makes the time by railroad travel,
the only communication now LETT between New
New Orleans and Mobile, only twenty-iour hours:
The connections between the Southern Railroad
and the NJ and 0. Railroad at Meridian, are all
that could be asked. Passengers leaving Vicks-
burg at $50 P. ". will find themselves in Mobile at
s the next morning: and passengers leaving
Mobile at 4 P. NJ. will DE in Vicksburg at 1890 the
next morning. The through ticket from Nicks-
burg to Mobile, we understand is Sll, and from
New Orleans to Mobile So so. Both the trains,
from the North and the South, on the NJ. and y.
Railroad, meet at Meridian at Has at night. The
train from Vicksburg reaches there at the same
time transferring its passengers without delay to
the Northern or Southern train, according to their
destination and the train coming to Nicksburg
takes passengers from both trains, and departs at
$3.50 at night. 1t will also be observed that this
route via Meridian and Lauderdale by rail, and
thence by stage to Uniontown, TO Selma and Mont
comery, presents decided advantages, b0th rs to
PrDenSeS and time, over any other route between
Eicksburg or New Orleans, and those cities.
We learn from reliable source that Point Clear,
that celebrated place of summer resort near Mo-
bile will be entirely out OF reach Of the guns of
Lincoln's ships Protected, as it is, by Fort Nor
gan and the battery at Grants Pass. the enemy's
ships cannot enter Mobile Bay, and on the Gulf
side war vessel cannot approach nearer than
thirty or forty miles to Point Clear: those, there
