WAR IN INDIA.

Afghanistan, the Indian state, late
~ invaded by an English army,
40, 900 strong, composed mainly of
sepoys and divided into three col
umns, is bounded on the north by
Russian Turkestan, on the east by
Peshawur, on the south by Beloo-
chistan and on the west by the Per-
sian highlands of Khorassan. Its
length is nearly $50 miles and its
breadth 407 miles. 1t contains an
area of PIP, 900 square miles and is
peopl.d by from five to six millions
of inhabitants. Its topography is
varied. Its grand mountains, some
of them rising into the regions OF
perpetual snow and p%unctured by
only a few passes indicate that it is a
vast natural fortress against either
egress from or inroad inUo India on

shows itself to be mistaken. The
Mexico Union, for instance, which
pretends TO bc q staunch Greeaback
paper, thus recently showed its true
Observation-Disclosures, by copying
the following malicious Islander upon
the South from a Radical sheet OF
Mississippi:
THE South never will be satisfied

The march of SO formidable an

equipped in oriental style recalls the
irruptions of Eastern conquests of
earlier times. According TO the dcs-
patches the roads conyerging on the

thronged with elephants, cameiS and
packed cattle. The railway from
Delhi and the plane of the Gauges
terminates mt Peshawur aud thence

army have 10 he transported in primi-
tive fashion.
Already, according to kilograms
from London, the oar Of 4 modern
battle has been heard amid the noun
taihs dominated by the Amer and
tort Ali-Musjid has fallen.
The battle reported and the capture
noticed with the advance through the
passes of the Sulieman ranges are
probably only preliminary operations.
The grand fight, if there is to be one,
may be looked tor when the English
army penetrates deeper into the
kingdom of the Amer.
