FIGHTING THE SEPOYS. SEN. HAVELOCK’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST REBELLIOUS NATIVES IN INDIA. Defeating Superior Number*, He Opened I he Roh«1 to Cawnpore t6 Relieve Euro pean Prisoner*, but the Daring Res cuer* Arrived Too Late. [Copyright by American Press Association ] N event that was fC) J marked by the ~ most fiendish atrocities, and at the same time pro voked acts of the sublimcst daring, fK <S wa * revolt ^WlVthe sepoy* in Brit- g^Bish India in 1H57. I’he Bengal army at the time com prised about 23,- 000Phiroi»eans an<i 120,000 natives. Out of 167 native regiments, 76 re volted during the year and 27 were dis banded. The cause of the revolt—the im mediate cause—was the adoption of the Bn field rifle for Indian troops, which would involve in loading the biting of the greased paper of the cartridge with the teeth. The grease of pigs being unclean to the Mus sulman and that of cows sacred to the Hindoo, the incident was seized upon by wily leaders to inspire a revolt, and that, under the circumstances—the fiery nature of the sepoys and the small number of loyal troops—could but be attended with bloody massacre. The whole country was ready for the up rising. The all powerful Hindoo astrolo gers had for half a century predicted that ! he bated rule of the East India company would come to an end in 1857, and popular superstition, combined with private malice, ambition and greed, worked together to fan each trifling spark into a flame. Be ginning with March of that year revolts and massacres were of frequent occurrence. On June 4 several thousand sepoys re-1 volted at Cawgppore, a military station on the Ganges across from the newly annexed kingdom of Oude. Throughout Oudethere was widespread discontent, and C’awn pore was filled with refugees from British rule ju that country. The native troops at Cawnpore consisted of throe regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, ami a company of artillery. The British troops were alxait 200, under Gen. Sir Hugh Wheeler. When the mutteringsof the storm reach-! ed him Gen. Wheeler fortified a regimental barrack and gathered around him the En glish residents and also the families of the Thirty-second English regiment, then serv ing at Lucknow. A perfidious rajah, Nana Sahib, attempted by friendly assurances to delay the preparations for defense, but finally threw aside the mask, and w ith an overpowering force of bandits and rene-1 gades attacked the barracks. Ap heroic defense followed. .The position of Wheeler was completely surrounded. Water for the troops and citizens could be drawn only under cover of darkness. Cannon and rifles played on the defenses from all sides, and a burning summer sun added to the sufferings of the besieged. At one time the barrack of the wounded was fired by a shell, ami u horde of «cpoys rushed up to ; prevent the extinguishment of the flames. | They were repulsed with heavy loss, the defenders losing many men. Finally a European prisoner of Nann Sahib brought to Gen. Wheeler a propo-j sition from the rajah to the effect that safe conduct would be furnished to all of the British who would lay down their arms. On the 27th Gen. Wheeler, finding his case hopeless, agreed to the terms, and the gar rison with the civilians marched out and were placed upon boats in the Ganges. At a signal the Indian crews deserted the vessels and masked bodies of sepoys opened upon them with small arms and artillery. Four men escaped from the Iwjats, and the other survivors. Including women and chil dren, were returned to Cawnpore as pris-1 oners. A few days after the trageJfjr of the boats the news reached the military station at Allahabad, 125 miles distant, where was gathered the nearest relieving force of the district. Sir Henry Havelock, a general noted for his Christian principles and high courage, hud just arrived to lead an expe dition for the succor of the stations under siege by the sepoys. Havelock set out for Cawnpore wdth 1,000 Europeans and about 200 native cavalry. After marching nearly half the distance to Cawnpore the column overtook an advance party of 200 men, and with a total of 1,400 men Havelock fouud himself confronted by 8,500 rebels in a strong position at Futtepore. The enemy pushed the attack, and Havelock, though anxiouH w to give his weary men some rest, decided to accept the challenge. In ten minutes the action was decided, the enemy retreating in disorder 1x3fore the deadly Enfield rifles and the cannon. «uu me Jieventy-eignth went into the battery without a halt, preceded by a single volley of the hated greased En field bullets, fired when the marksmen could see the mustaches of the swarthy sepoys. Havelock exclaimed: “Well done, Seventy-eighth! You shall be my own regiment. Another charge like that will win the day.” Following on the heels of the Highlanders was the Sixty-fourth Queen's. Another fortified village, still to the left of that charged by the Seventy-eighth, stood in Hie way of Havelock’s progress, and upon this the Sixty-fourth, moving in orderly advance, poured several volleys of bullets. At this time the rebel cavalry moving off cn the plain beyond the English flank threatened to throw the infantry into con fusion, and Havelock ordered a little baud >f irregular cavalry, known as “Gentlemen Volunteers,” to charge the sepoy horse. These men were nearly all officers, sepa rat'd from their commands. What their gmhusiasm was is shown by the conduct one Capt. Beatson, who was* smitten with cholera so severely that he couldn’t Why Support the Home Paper? Why? Because, if for no better reason, the home newspaper supports yon.

When the devoted band went out on the charge he threw himself on an nrtillery tool cart, and was carried into action to breathe his last. Now for a few minutes Havelock’s entire line was in close encounter w ith the enemy and at many points engaged in hand to hand struggles. The sepoys fought well, facing the English bayonets with the brutal valor of savages. But Nana Sahib’s flank w’as turned, and his ranks were rolled up on the center along the Cawnpore road. The rebel center on the road was the key of the position and blocked Havelock’s ad vmice to the town. Here the sepoys had a 24 pounder doing serious execution on Havelock’s infantry. The ground was so heavy that the artillery animals could not move up the English cannon, and it was the turn of a hand whether Sahib’s men would win or not. The rebels rallied at all points for a decisive blow. Again over whelming numU rs of cavalry spread out on the plain. The beating of drums in the sepoy lines and the appearance of mounted officers at the front, Nana Sahib in gaudy costume among them, was tiTe signal for a counter attack. But Havelock did not wait. His infantry was lying down to take breath, and once more he cried out, “Rise up! Advance!” and the whole line, led by the Sixty-fourth, moved calmly on. The 24-pounder was on the front of the Sixty- fourth, and gave it solid shot until within 300 paces and then fired.grape. At the decisive moment the leader of the Sixty fourth, Maj. Stirling, and Have- lock’s sou and aid-de-camp, Harry, rode di rectly upon the deadly gun. The “boy Harry,” as he was called, placed himself in front of the gaping muzzle of the piece and dashed on until he reached it, followed by the men, w ho would quail at nothing under such leadership. The gun was taken and t he day was won. The sepoys made an ineffectual stand with infantry and soon gave way in total rout.

The moral courage of Havelock and the physical daring of his men had done a marvelous work in defeating the exultant rebels on their own ground, with f>dds of three to one against the attacking column. On the morning following the battle the English soldiery began scouring the pre- tflucts of Cawnpore in search of rebellious sepoys and of English prisoners. Neither wi re to be found for a time. At length a European, who had been given an extra sentence of hard labor on the roads, came forward to relate the most horrible chap ter of all this carnival of fiendish cruelty. The prisoners who had survived the mas sacre on the boats had been kept in con- finement until the issue of Nana Sahib’s battle with Havelock on the 16th, and then murdered down to the last woman and child. The one man left to tell the tale had been overlooked in the hasty move ment of blood, for the victorious yells of Havelock’s soldiers had reached Cawnpore, and the Sahib and his crew were in terror for their lives. Havelock had arrived, but too late for rescue. However, he had scattered and discouraged the rebels, had defeated them four times and taken thirty j cannon. { The short campaign made Havelock fa mous. He next turned his attention to Lucknow, fifty-five miles distant, where the English commissioner of Oude, Sir Henry lawrence, with about 500 Europe ans, was surrounded by hordes of sepoys. The revolt of the native regiments at Luck now had taken place quite simultaneously with that at Cawnpore, and Lawrence had placed the garrison in a state of defense for a long siege. GEORGE L.

This action took place on the 12th of July, and on the 14th the column resumed the march. The hot summer sun of India poured its relentless heat upon the men, but they toiled on in the hope of rescuing the innocent and helpless survivors of NY heeler’s party. On the 15th an intrenched bridge on a stream called the Pandoo was carried after a sharp engagement, and on the 16th, at noon, Havelock was again con fronted by Nana Sahib’s entire force of 5,(00 men at a station three miles from Cawnpore. Havelock’s men had made twenty-three miles on their last march, but they were at once placed in line for at tack. The sepoys had a strong position, one flank resting on the Ganges and the other in a walled village, the whole front being well protected by mango groves. The line formed an arc and covered two roads leading into Cawnpore. • I iavelock made his dispositions promptly, and traced his plan in the sandy road with the point of hia sword for the instruction of his subordinates in case of disaster to himself. At half-past 2 the* advance was sounded, and the small body of native cav alry dsehed upon the sepoy center, draw ing their attention and fire. The main body of English was formed in live lines, the third being a battery of artillery, and the whole was pushed out rapidly on a flank march against the rebel loft. It was a bold, hazardous movement, but what was left for 1.400 assailants against 5,000 well posted Icemen except sharp tactics? The flank march was admirably masked at first by the mango groves, and the feint by thecav- alry in the center threw Nana Sahib off his guard until Havelock was upon his guns. Havelock’s second line was composed of a detachment of the famous Seventy-eighth Highlanders, and when the sepoy position was well uncovered this command was ordered to charge upon an intrenched battery of three guns. The sepoy tiands were playing English airs ns a taunt to their former comrades, and at the moment of this charge were sending out an old camp favorite, “Cheer, Boys, Cheer!” Witki a ringing cheer, indeed, the kilted heroes sprang forward, holding their fire and relying upon tho bayonet, the shrill sounds of the pipe finally drowning out the rebel music, and inspiring the men with their own Scotch martial airs. They faced a terrible fire from musket and can non, hut with trailed arms pressed on shoulder to shoulder, illustrating again the powew of rhilitnry discipline. One round of bullets wasted might have ruined all. Havelock was with them. Once the whole line dropped to the ground to esca;>e a heavy volley, and then the general called out. “Rise upl .Advance!” Xfie. call was Wasteful Adverti.siiig.

H.," and he adds that if he unbent hia mind by making a remark to a friend tiie spell was broken. It cannot be the power of the human eye, lie thinks, that acts thus, for how can tho eye act at a quarter of a mile's distance? He might shut his eyes and try if the magnetic jK)Wer still lasts.* "To ba a first rate dog breaker a man must have lots of animal magnetism," which, according to this philosopher, is developed by force of will. But what is wid, or is it a form < f "magnetism?" Even in dog breaking we reach at once the debatable land of inetaj liysics, and are embarked on Schopenhauer’s specu lations before we know it. Of animal magnetism exercised by the rider on the horse little need be said. The man may influence tho lieast by contact uncon sciously, not by "will force." It is dif ferent when “H. II." turns a distant dog from a particular corner of a field by simply “wishing" with all his force. The whip and the will had better be kept separate as much as mayjie, and some Their Customers have dogs answer to the will which merely sulk under the whip. The cleverest of “H. H.'s" dogs was a retriever. Ho was fishing in her com pany, caught his fly on a stump of the opposite bank, sent the retriever across the water for it. and she brought it safely. When a friend's fly caught in a i bough of a willow some feet above the | water, the dog swam across, climbed into the top of the bush, jumped, fastened on the bough aa she fell, bit it through, and restored the hickle. Tho dog was sent for a wounded mal lard which was swimming below the ice. She ran eighty yards down stream, broke a hole in the thin ice. and waited j like a cat at a mouse hole. There she caught the mallard as ho carne up to breathe. If this was not reasoning what is reason? But some other power must have been exercised in the following case: "H. H." left his dog at the front door of a house, with a friend to watch its proceedings. Ho himself left the house by tho aid of a ladder set against a high window in the back and walked array. The dog began to bo uneasy at soon ns the nuistc-r had thus escaped, and was with him in five minutes. Could he have been guided by smell ot was he attracted by animal magnetism? If the human mind can really influence that of a dog from a distance, the force which we call mind must be common to man and be;ist, and "in that equal sky" retrievers may keep “H. H.'s" company.
