The Campaign in India.

Simla, Oct. 22.-Dispatches received
today from Kaharappa announce that
the plan of campaign against the insur-
gents has been so far successfully carried
out that junction has been effected near
Kharappa between the British forces I'M
der Gen. Sir Yeatman Biggs and Gen.
Sir William Lockhart. After the storm
ing and capture of Daryl ridge on the
SANTANA range by the troops of Gen Biggs
on Wednesday afternoon, the plan was
for the latter to push on so as to hold
the frontal hills, and then continue his
advance on Kharappa, where he was to
ioin forces with the column under. Sir
William Lockhart. This has been done;
and the two columns are now camped
about two miles from Kharappa. Inc
British troops met with one slight resist
ance, but the enemy is massed on the
hills around Kharappa, and desultory
firing is proceeding. Capt. Arnold of the
Dorsetshire regiment, Liet. Dingwali OF
the Gordon Hghlanders. and Lieut..
White of Sikhs are among the British
officers severely wounded in addition to
those whose names have already been
cabled.

the man best fitted for the position, and
hence they gave it to him. AS above stat

were the verbal applications of Messrs. Ed
Kaufman, Tom Thrasher and 5. b. Lane;
The first ballot resulted in the election OF
Mr.. Ed Kaufman. Commissioners Rogers

her of persons are waiting for the office to
