We have been permitted to make the follow
ing extract from letter from Mrs. JENNIE
HAUsER, now Missionary in India, to her faith
err. our fellow citizen, J. T. Shepherd The let
ter is highly interesting as showing the view
that is taken Of our national struggle to pat
down this wicked rebe lion. The news they
receive in that distant part of the globe, must
reach them principally through foreign sources,
and it is curious to seq the way they are colored

BIssRoN, India, jan. l, 1862.
DEAR FATHER:
The evening Of the first day Of the new year
draws darkness around me, and ] feel lonely
and sad lonely because my husband Is gone
.w ay land sad because ofthe great trouble which
darkens "my own, my native land"
MIR. Hsuser left this morning to go to Roor' G,
which is about forty miles northwest Of US. II
wives in Amsrics are lonesome, without their
husbands, how lonely must l be, who have no
sister, or mother, or friend to go to. TO cheer
me with only selfish, uncouth Hindo0stanI
people around me 1t is about three weeks
since l have seen lady, with whom to have
any conversation To-day Capt Whites lady
arrived, and hope to become acquainted With
her. It's very different thing to live with q
hslfdozen white people, in place, in India,
from what it is in America. Forms are as much
observed here as in Q large city, and caste is
powerful, and We have to mind it. FIVE do not,
we lose, both in the estimation Of the nativ o.
and Europeans.
A few days since, we heard by telegraph that
England had declared war agaInst the United
States. l say to Willie, now, never mind for
tune, but stay in America, and dght the English;
while YOU can hold a sword, handle gun or
WELD pen, never submit to British rule
presume that you thought me sadly wanting
in patriotism, in my last letter to Willie. Well,
suppose was, but the view which We get Of
American troubles is not much calculated to in
spire a great amount Of patriotism, Some say,
sWe are fighting to sustain QUE laws, and 10
show that We as a nation cannot be trampled
m, without dealing out full measure of pun
ishment to the offenders - Others declare tn at
thew are fighting slavery, Others, 90 TOR glory,
and then seem to think il is found by showing
how they can run. The North IN the beginning
boosted so greatly of the number Of their army
Of their wealth. pios ess and courage, and all
bn, declared that as he boys say, they could
avvhiD the south with the end of their little fin
ser." But what are numbers, if they are not on
hand when wanted l do not remember to have
read of one engagement, where the Northern
troops were not fewer than those OF the South.
Everything that the North has gained has been
against "such fearful odds !" OF wealth there
ia plenty. but q, the prowsss and courage,
lspeb. and blush to think that am an Amerl-
can and would blnsh more, were | from any
other State than Wisconsin. Three times three,
for Wisconsin Regiments. What shameful re.
treats have there been in Virginia What an
amount of characterization, and trouble there
has BEEN in the eastern troops! How the whole
North,is split in dissensions concerning officers,
" bat should be done, and most Of all, about the
,biect of the war What clemor there was for
, battle, and after the Manassas retreat what
seeming repentance among the newspapers for
heir iupatience and the evil they had done.-
But how soon has repentance disappeared, and
low they clamor now for another battle. How .
Mcclellan, that young Napoleon" is auded to
