FROM INDIA.

Correspondence N. Y. Worldl
KoLAPooR, India, May 9, 1862
told you of recent change in eur govern
ment policy here in India, authorizing the sale
of waste lands. Already more than forty
thousand acres have found purchasers on one
range of hills near Ootacamund. Lord Elgin,
our new viceroy, is said to be favorable to the
settlement of Europeans in India, and some
of our journalists are evidently anticipating
great changes in this respect. The empire
ii apparently no longer to be regarded by Eng
lshmen as place of exile, but as q home, In
which they may live and enjoy themselves.
That a residence in India viii ultimately be
anything but irksome, cannot be reasonably
disputed. Railways will soon enable India
colonists to move about with ease and celebrity;
and as almost every variety of climate IS to be
found in the country, the health of settlers, we
fancy, will suffer as little as in manufacturing
cities at home. With capital, enterprise, and
a free press, the Anglo-Saxon will be able to
achieve great triumphs in India. Hitherto
the desire has been to make q rapid fortune
and get out of India as soon as possible. But
now people are preparing themselves, if not
for permanent, at all events for more pro-
longed soiourn than was previously the Gus
tom.h
Such views are gaining ground. Unfortu-
AaJely for as, the healthy climate and regions
of India have not fallen to our lot. The heat
here is now intense, and the cholera rapidly
sweeping off its victims. In this little native
town of "A, 600 under my window the deaths
have been from thirty to fifty the last two or
three weeks.
The Persian movement on Herat, and the
fall of Furrah stirs some interest in British
minds, reviving apprehensions OF Russian
influence aud intrigues in Central Asia.
Indications are not wanting of the deep
rooted and revengeful feeling of many native
minds-such, for instance, as anonymous let
tiers to British officials, notifying them of a
purpose TO assassinate them and their families
on a specified day, but of course they are
treated as all such indications were in the early
part of 1851
The subject of engrossing interest to all
Europeans in India, and throughout the world
l fancy is the late wonderful feat of your lit
tie Monitor in disabling the Merrimac. II
Mr. Ericss on's little craft holds out as she has
begun she will suddenly revolutionize the
navies and war tactics of the world. Some Of
our India journals can scarcely speak of any
thing but the details of the engagement, the
/ imminent danger to England's navab suprem-
acy, and the necessity ofinstantly constructing
/ similar vessels. A monitor indeed, is she
I proving.
4 ALL in this part of the world seem ready tC
/ subscribe to the sentiment Of the London Post
/ at would be indeed worse than f1lly to
4 neglect taking notice of what is now going or
I upoR the other side of the Atlantic"
May God prosper the government and give
i our noble soldiers and armies still greater vic
tories, till they shall conquer enduring peace

In Rosendale, England, the English miners
combined to drive the Irish laborers out Of the

took place. The cause of the party feeling is
stated to have been owing to an Irishman con

some, and give the enemy a chance Of p~illaging
at least a gOodly proportion of it. ia either
event, then, nothing can b. gained by the
attempt to raise a second crop ere the first is
disposed OF.
What, then, it may be asked, are the planters
to do with their lsnds The answer is obvious.
Cultivate corn and grains Of all kinds-yheat,
barley, rye, oats, etc.-yegetables Of every de-
scripton, especially beans and peas, swee and
Irish potatoes. Raise stock and cattle. Provide
food of every variety aud in the greatest possible
abundance.
All this will be a work Of the highest patriot
ism, aud will, besides, command adequate r-
Enumeration. Our planters must remember tha
the blockade, in a great measure, shuts us y4
from supplies of food, and hence that the en-
southern population are forced 70 rely exclusive
ly on the products of our agricultural labor.
Heretofore, much Of our foOd-such as dOur,
buckwheat, butter, cheese, eggs, pork, hams.
beef, etc. has come to US from the West. That
source Is now cut off, and the large quantities
remaining in the South at the commencement Of
the blockade have been completely exhausted
We are, therefore, thrown back upon ourselves.
We have to provide our own fOOd-Or starve.
Our ability to feed ourselves is unquestioDable,
but to do 80 requires on the part Of the planters
q patriotic constancy Of Purpose, and a calm and
inVinclble resolve TO put aside all mere sOrdid
- PNSSluAC poNuuAaAg aNf autdkt-
1t is judiciOus.y observed by a cOtemporary
that the des. inies Of the South are 70 a very great
extent dependent upon the course which the
planters will pursue. Upon them the country
must depend for food, and every acre of ground
upon which any kind Of edible suitable to our
climate can be grown, should be devoted to the
production Of food for our army and food for the
people,
Unless we have plenty Of food our people can
not be supported, our armies must starve, and
the cause of liberty viii perish. The decision Of
the great question at issue is, therefore, really
in the hands of the planters.
If they fail to do their duty, untold disasters
and distress will fall upon the country but If
they are sctuated by genuine impulses Of patriot
ism, We shall soon hear they have resolved that
there shall be al ineXhaustible supply of the ar
ticles Indispensable to the safety and comfort of
the country.
Let our planters ever remember that to them
the South must look for those aids and a%pplian-
ces without which the most heroic valor and
boundless seifsacri6ce would be truitlessly dis

of this tribe IS Col Hiram Fuller, who a short
time since took the trouble TO go over TO LOudOn

MI. B Il. Bingham, chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture in the Georgia House of Rep
resentatives, has addressed a communication to
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, from which
we extract the following paragraphs, We
earnestly invite the attention Of the planters of
this State to the facts he presents for considera-
ton:
Before the war began, we drew many of our
family supplies from the States northwest of the
Ohio, and many from Kentucky, Missouri and
Tennessee. Now the war is upon us-Ken-
lucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia, are its
present theater. Instead Of drawing supplies
from them, We must supply them, we must sup
ply them by the command Of every manly senti-
ment Of fraternity, if we be men. From the
census tables aud other best sources OF ~statisti-
cal information at my command, / find these four
States have very near as many acres of i'm
proved land as the remaining Confederate States
altogether. l hnd, also, that they yield during
peace more corn and wheat selected because
they are the leading c~ereals) than all the other
Confederate States. Thus it appears that
Kentucky, Missouri. Tennessee and Virginia
have, in aggregate, Of improved land 2,4i2Ogl

Here, farmers of the South, is the plain fact
staring you in the face. Nearly hail Of the i'm
proved land Of the Confederscy is already the
tbeater Of war, much OF the productive force is
drawn from ali, and other portions not now trod-
den by the foe may be desolate before the yeal
closes From your hands, wherever they may
be undisturbed by the invader, our brethren are
to be.supported. We all have a common tate,
which shall be shared by all. The channels Of
our are cut oil, and We must provide
for ourselves means of subsistence or die, for the
thought Of subiugaion cannot be endured.

We took occasion yesterday 10 express our I'M
qualified approval Of the proposition to destroy
all southern cotton and tobacco. whenever these
articles should be in danger Of falling into the
hands Of the enemy A cool and TesOlute de-
termination on the part Of the South thus to dis
pose Of its staples in the last resort Will sdmOnish
the ucTth or tha folly OF endeavOriug 70 seize
products which are completely under our control,
and fJrodestiued % destruction, while It will
create an unpleasant feeling of surprise among
the coHd-bl00de1 diplOmatists Of Europe, who,
with serene indifference TO truth and justice, are
anticipating a plentiful supply of cotton through
the victorious efforts of the North at our sublu-
CATION If anything in the world can startle
France and England from their apathy, it will Be
the knowledge that not a single bale Of cotton
or a pound Of tobacco will be allowed TO leave
southern ports for Europe until those pc IS are
open to the commerce Of nations by the raising
Of the blockade.
But this constitutes only a pert Of the policy
which must govern the South as long IS the war
shall endure. 1t is not sufficient TO insure our
selves against the possibility Of behoIding the
value Of our great staples poured into the Fed
erai treasury. Something more has to be &C
complished. We must provide for future con
tingencies, as well as guard against the rapaeity
of the foe. To complete the circle of our PRE-
/ cautions VIC must not alone resolve to destroy
our cotton and tobacco, if necessary, but sedu.
lousy 10 refrain from adding to the quantity a.
ready gathered. There arc manifold Teasoni
Why the planters should put little or no cottor
into the ground this year.
In ali human probability We shall be able +
store last years crops till the necessity for cot
ton and tobacco compels the European powers 3
break the blockade, or until we break il oui
selves. Should we meanwhile continue to cult
vate cotton, we shall have 8 double crop, an
prices viii suffer a Winous depreciation. IF
were possible that the South could be born
down snd crushed, the presence Of double Gro
would render It's destruction far more troubl
