give relief-such relief as can be cot for
money. But human means seem quite
powerless to stop the awful diseases that
are walking through the land. carrying
thousands before them. The native feels
himself i'll. wraps himself up in his
blanket, and so perishes.
In this enormous population-let it be
remembered that here in Bengal alone
we have at least IS. 600 peopiv-rne few
Europeans can only do good here and
there, and vet, it is solely by Europeans
that good is being done. The rich ns-
tive will not help his countrymen. God
gave him his money, and God intended
him to keep it. That is pretty much his
mode of reasoning Sometimes the
fever strikes him, and then in abject
terror he offers English doctors q fee Of
500 rupees to come and visit him. In
a recent case of that sort. the man, who
was worth four millions sterling, had
refused to give relief to the poor after
the cyclone. When death was at his
throat, he altered his mind and promised
large benefaetions if he recovered. He
was not spared TO add falsehood to his
cruel service.

Response Of the President to the Con-
qressional COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, March L.
Senator Trumhull and Representatives
Wilson and Dawson as the select com
mittee OF the Houses of Congress to-day
waited upon President Lincoln and in
formed him of his reelection. To this
he responded:
Having served four years in the depth
of a great and yet unended national
peril. can view this call to = second
term in nowise more fattering to myself
than as an expression OF the public
judgement that / may better finish .
difficult work in which have labored
from the first than could any one less
severely sehooled to the task.
In this view. and with increased re-
lance on the Almighty Ruler who has
so graciously sustained US thus far, and
with increased gratitude to the generous
people for their continued confidence,
accept the renewed trust with its onOrous
and perplexing duties and responsible
ties.

The Great Cyclone Disaster in India.

A Calcutta correspondent Of the Lon
don Times gives the following additional
details of the loss of life by the terrible
cyclone in India:
see that the news of l., 600 persons
having been lost in the cycione was re-
ceiyed with incredulity in England The
estimate was wide of the truth, but only
because it vastly underrated the calamity
AS every one who knows this country
will readily conceive, there is no possibil-
ity of ascertaining precisely the loss of
life. because hundreds might be swept
away and leave no trace behind. But
we are not without data for arriving at
q conclusion, and il has now been cal
cuiared that not fewer than so. GOO per
sons were drowned or otherwise killeI
hy that fearful storm. In the Island of
Saugoralone, before the cyclone. there
were $500 persons. There are now
about l,20o-nor have any left it to go
elsewhere Seven thousand were carried
clean aw: y by the storm wave. All up
the river the population has been swept
off. if not in the same proportion. yet in
very large numbers.
As we all anticipated. disease is raging
everywhere-cholera. fever and small
pox- The epidemic fever which have
mentioned in previous letters this year
is depopulating whole districts. A
magistrate told me the other day that he
had been riding through a village in
which there was hardly a grown up
person left They had died without
hope of assistance, without medicine.
without food-for the crops are rotsing
on the ground in many parts, where the
salt water rushed in. The Bengaleese
are in a deplorable plight, and the Zem-
indars increase the great misery by
turning the ryets ont of their huts be
cause they are behind hand with their
rents. There is money enough here 70
