So far, tbe barbarities of that poo pU ara ajBld '"Ti MTI' H be in tha bloody maaaacraa of Um whitea of this country by tha Indiana, at tha instigation of tha British. Can it bo a retribution, so long delayed? Ob this point, mora hereafter. As we with our paper to be useful to the young, we devot this article more particularly to what India is, aod when it is. Take your map any School Atlaa ; open to the map of Asia, and you will see the Southern peninsulas marked Loi a. The soaa of the present bloodshed is yet chiefly on tha Granges. 4 Most of that coun tryis virtually a British Colony, not unlike, in reality, the Am er -an colonies, prior to the Revolution, lis history how ever is an anomaly. W hil all others have been indifferent, a company of Britiah mechants have gone on extending their own noeeessiona. and the dominions of i their sovereign, over one of the oldest and mint fruitful reoions of the earth. The - j immense resources andjjigantic proportions of this vast colonial empire, were at length lowly attracting public attention, wheu news of the present out break turned all eyas in that direction. In its) physical, character it ia vast, various, and rich in whatever contributes to man's material or mental wealth. But to the Christian and philanthropist its people present the most interesting, though not the moat pleasing, objects of thought. Nearly two hundred millions of people there dwell in vast cities, and in innumerable towns and villages, with a wide spread though imperfect civilization, and often displaying a barbaric magnificence quite unknown even to European royalty. And yet these almost countless thousands ara little more than an unorganised mass, dea tituto of nearly rvry attribute of nationality an dalmost without social order. Of the character of the country they seem to be entirely ignorant, and the sentiment of patriotism appears to hare gone no further with them than tie merest clanship. Rebellion and internal strifes have been their habitual pastimes from the earliest antiquity, and probably this inconstancy under authority, quite as much as religious fanaticism, has brought about the present troubles. Tha territories of the rulers of any given period were without definite limits, and the ages of dynasties were often measured by the lifetime of their founders. Tha wealth of India is proverbial, and apparently inexhaustible. From the earliest antiquity merchants of Persia, Arabia, Syria, and Egypt enriched themselves by her commerce, and when Europe awoke from her sleep of ages, and entered upon her career of improvement, her first efforts were directed toward gaining a share of the trade of tha East England, at length, entered the field, and soon outstripped all her rivals. Agreeably to the policy of the times, tha East India Company was chartered by Qoeen Elizabeth, and vested with the monopoly of the commerce of the East ; and advancing by a steady progress this giant company, under the protection of the imperial government, now holds and governs all that immense region, a territory of equal extent with the whole of Europe except Russia, and a population yet greater in proportion. The achievments by which these stupendous results have been effected are among the marvel -oua realities of history, compared with which the tales of romance are tame and spir itless. In future times they will, perhaps, constitute the most deeply interesting portion of tha history of our age. The present position of Iodo-British affairs presents, perhaps, more interest thau any other currant question of the Old World. For a long time that region has been tha field of an extensive and successful missionary enterprise, ta whleh the British rulers have extended, at least, a protection from Hindoo and Moslem violence, and so afforded an opportunity for the fro oxersjsa of Christian philanthropy. Who has not read of the Ood-river Ganges, and song of M I n .1 1 '. oral itra -i T A recital of the idolatry and heathenism of that coon try where Ivory roepeet ateesss, sad only ate U vile," has stirred many a christian heart, and prompted many a devoted one to go In quest of the lost and degraded thereMany of our readers will remember the solemn ceremonies of such a devotion in Indiana, a, Jew years sgo. Among the chief suffsrers are these missionaries. Wo do not doubt the ultimate result India will bo christianized. How far the British sword may be necessary we cannot tall. How many precious livee will be sacrificed we know not, nor why the Almighty carries on his work by such Instrumentalities. Though the end Is not yet wo doubt not the success of the British government. With leas than fifty thousand European troops, scaUsred ovrr the whole territory, the mutiny has been hold in che-k from the beginning, and ev. dently the tide of events turned against the insurgents ; while slready a very large re-enforcement has sailed from England to strengthen the hands of their countrymen In the hour of their extremity, and all ths power of the British nation is pledged to oae the conflict brought to a satisfactory issue. Tory soon, therefor, It may bo entleipated that all India will lie In the meet complete helplessness at the feet of her British conquerors. And then will there bo forced upon the attention of the Britiah statesmen said philanthropists a responsibility greater than ever before rooted upon any people, Th abuses of ths East India Company must be remedied ; too rapacity of resident European bold in check; tha nomination of worths dignitarie restrained ; the intolemnc of classes and corrected and modified, and espe-

If placed In the same situ ation, I should either learn it or plagiarise too, as I judgo you would yourself, notwithstanding the severity of your criticisms on the Doctor. You pcrhus do not know us well as I the limited opportnnitics the Doctor has had for literary attainments, und cannot therefore make the same allowances. A poor buck woods boy like Henrv Clay, be was like that illustrious orator, early cast upon his own resources and tin goodness of a 1enificent Providence. But a versatile genius and indomitable perseverance have elevated him to various positions of honor and wonderfully sustained him in them. Ho has been presiding elder, has loen Chaplain to Congress and his name has often been sjtoken of in connection with the highest dignity in his church. And to that or a seat in Congress he will doubtless yet attain. Let me tell you, sir, that Dr. Daily, if not a scholar is a genius and a rising man. You cannot keep him down any more than you can the unballasted and uncabled baloon. It will rise by its own buovant energy. Tho Dr's lost baocaulaurato the least pretentious, but mot respectable hi has yet delivered, is a per fectda-rum-otvtio of his own inner self, or. as he would sav. of his own inner man.

If bor rowed, be was liko tho child beforo the mirror, simply captivated by his own re flected image, and innocently supposod that what so pleased himself would likewise please others.

Mr. Vright then briefly addressed tho King, saying that tho "Americans had come from a great distance to testify their love for Christian union, and to take part in whatever measures might bo adopted nt Berlin for tho edvanoviuiuit of the kingdom of Uod.

The Houthsm Christian Advocate, thus alludes to the result oil their Publishing

Hotiar halfthe hey can'tjnaVe it go where ono i i number nld be sent to the penitentiary for teaching the oiber half fr trad, and then justify their imprisoomit fratn tho Bible. Wo don'i care tf they never make enough there n y Other pl.ioo by a tariff ol knowledge toeoppott Bishop Ln Bishops bo supported like other preachers; they aro no better than their brethren if they are greater men and higher in office. But here is what tho Advocate soys : "Another change absolutely demanded, beyond a shadow of a doubt, by our publishing interests, is tho relief of the Publishing House from tho necessity of paying the salaries of nrtr bishoa. It is utterly impossible for it to furuish a cheap literature and in no other way can tho prime object of snch an institution be m e If it is to make a profit for such a purpose. We aro utterly opposed to tbe Church, ns suoh, undertaking a vast business scheme with the purpose of mon-ty-nuiking for anybody, or anything, except to diffuse religious knowledge. For this, if in diffusing it wo make a small profit to expand our operations, it is well; and yet it were better that the liberalitv of the Church should furnish annually tho moans for such expansion, and lot all onr labors be disiieused without any pecuninrr profit. At least our bishnta must be sustained in some butter way than bv the Publishing House, or it is doubtful if any one can be found who, after the last four years' experiment, will be willing to risk his reputation in tho attempt to conduct so hopeless a business as that of endeavoring to keep it afloat. FatM Hank. The report of tho Auditor of Stale of the condition of free Hanks sinco complying with his demand for increased securities to meet the depreciation of stocks in the Kast is an important document. Kstimating the securities at tho very lowest rates to which they havo dncended during the panics they exceed the amount of issues nearly ten jer oent. Since this estimate was mado stocks havo advanced in T Wf 1 - 1 A A A .now l Oft aooui leu per cent, maKing a .security for every bill of the Banks embraced in the retiort of twenty per cent more than its face. If this does not make our Free Bank issues Bafc, it. is simply bccauso Indiana bonds are not worth sixty-live or seventy cents on the dollar, at which they have been estimated by the Auditor. II'.- doubt if there is any money in circulation anywhere that is so entirely safe, aud so impossible to be made bad. if every bank fuils, and overy proprietor fails, thu Auditor has means enough to rodeem every dollar, aud leave a surplus. I ho bills are, moreover, recommended by tho (State Treasurer, to be receivod in payment of taxes. Hth snch guards and advantages we skicerelv be lieve that our citizens will be doing a wise thing to seek for Free Bank bills, as the best money to lay away if thev want to lay away any. Journal.

Premium .Tfolaeaco Outsiders as well as some of tho comjHstitors for premiums on table comforts, were not a little surprised at somo of the awards at tho State Fair. Somo charged tho committees' errors to partiality, and somo to their not knowing any better. Thu latest and best apology that wo have heard, is that tho committees kept tasting and tasting, till they couldn't discriminate tastes, In fact till they got sic. Wo don't wonder. Thoro were so many good things there so much better than most of tho committieos use at homo, overy day, or oven Sunday, that wo don't wondor that they tasted deep at first. It was through this mishap, we suppose, that Mrs. Aaron Masters' beautiful molasses failed. In our opinion, and we arc i judgo on tho molasses question, Mrs. Masters and Mrs. D. O. Allen exhibited a superior arlticlo to anv that took the premium. Bre know that tho artlclo exhibited by Mrs. Masters could not easily bo beaten, for we havo not merely tasted it, but tried it thoroughly, thanks to her good souse iu appealing from a loa committoo to an editor who knows what's good.
