Anxiety i'm India.

Private letters from India speak of grow
ing anxiety among European residents, who
are strengthening the volunteer corps ac-
cordingly. The Calcutta volunteers turn out
700 strong, armed with Martini-Henry rifles,
and very shortly a cavalry corps Of 100 sabres
will take their place beside the infantry. At
Cawnpore, Bombay and other places the
same spontaneous movement is observable,
and it is encouraged by the governments<The
repeated reverses sustained by the Russians
have given rise to the very illogical deduction
that the Asiatic is generally match for the
European. The Hindoos openly acknowledge
Their sympathy with the MahammedanS p? and
should take the side of an Oriental power and
people. In some parts, especially along the
northwestern frontier, the bearing Of the
Musselmans has become insolent and pro-
with all sorts of insane projects, and furious
" resents the presence Of an English force at
Quetta.

BALTIMORE. Nov. pa special from Tow
sentown says that at daybreak large crowds of
men and boys, white and black. came tram ping
through mud and slush to the jail galows. The
day was particularly gloomy after night of
rain.
When the sheriff entered the cell of the
doomed man to prepare him for the galows, he
spoke to Hawk ins, telling him that it was his
duty to tie his hands.
Tears flowed down Hawkins checks. and his
voice trembed in the prayers that followed,
the prisoner working himself into q state Of
great excitement He screamed his prayer at
the top of his voice. and several times shouted
that his coOrs were nailed to the masthead Of
Jesus. His voice during the prayer rose and
fell like q, plantation melody.
At the close of the prayer Mr.. Rice read an ex-
tract about crucifying our Savior after which
the hymn, Just rs l am. without one plea" was
sung.
At 9:25 deputy sheriff. who pinioned Pol
n%lGr ME some years ago; entered the prisoner s
prisoners hands. All being completed, Haw-
kins was taken to the gallows; looking up
toward the cells on the top tiers, he bade the
other. prisoners goodbye. and God bless
you to every one.
He did not waver in the least on seeing the
gaIlows and assembled the stairway with firm
step. and took his position upon the platform
Messrs. Gray, Rice and Daniels, Sheriff Worth
ington and the deputy sheriff accompanied
him on the scaffold.
Hawkins looked around on the crowd for a
familiar face. He nodded to one party, and
then fixed his eyes on the floor of the platform
The rain was coming down in torrents.
At 2:29 p. m. Mr. Gray addressed the crowd
