Steamer Western Wort.d, Aog. 7, 1857. 
Friend Rural:— Yoor correspondent dates bis 
letter while afloat upon the broad blue waters of 
Lake Erie; having, as you are aware, left your 
goodly city yesterday morning on a flying visit to 
‘The West,” 
Not being a dead head, in aDy sense of the word, 
I am not in duty bound to render a quid pro quo, 
and commence with the usual stereotyped form of 
correspondents for the daily press, respecting 
"very gentlemanly conductors—highly accom¬ 
plished Captains — hale-fellows-well-met— saloon 
keepers,” and bo on to the end of the chapter; but 
so far on the route I have found the employees of 
the N. T. Central road and the Detroit boat just 
no more, than other people do- 
conclusively prove that English supremacy in In¬ 
dia is yet to be established, and the great questions 
connected therewith are ■still to be solved. Pre¬ 
vious to the conquest of the natives, however, if 
the country is in the state represented, immense 
treasure will be requisite and a vast amount of life 
sacrificed. Disease will be the most active de¬ 
structive agent upon the British army, as the epi¬ 
demics prove, which, for tho past fifty years, have 
thinned so fearfully the ranks of unacclimated 
soldiera This has been, and always will he, the 
difficulty in keeping the power of England so- 
India, Another of the prime obstacles

preme in 
in the way of any foreign power, is the immense 
number of tribes which compose the people, and 
their remarkable diversity. The Bengalee differs 
as much from the Sikh, or any other of the native 
claim, as does the French from tho German,—in 
fact the lines of distinction are broader, and the 
influences which tend to separation more power¬ 
ful In its language India is a Babel. 
A writer in the Boston Traveller says:—“India 
has many languages and many religions. She has 
Mahometans, who carry the idea of divine, unity to 
its utmost extreme; and Pagans, with deities 
enough to satisfy even the craving desires of the 
most thorough-going of polytheists. Some reve¬ 
rence holy santonp, and others reverence monkeys 
that are quite as holy and much cleaner. The 
Mohametans are religionists of yesterday, while 
the greater part of the people claim for their faith 
an origin that defies chronology. In some places 
human sacrifices were made hut a few years since, 
and perhaps hre made now. Concerning such a 
part of the world, so different from what we know 
anything of from experience, it is hard to speak 
authoritatively. We cannot reason of ita inhabi¬ 
tant as we can of FrenchmeD, or Britons, or Ameri¬ 
cans. Conduct that would be unnatural in the 
people of a Western nation may be correct enough 
in Hindoos, who have no country, in the sense that 
we use the word.” 
It is not our desire to 'he classed among those 
npon whose horizon there is ever-appearing por¬ 
tentous clouds — those who ever hold themselves 
in readiness to cry panic, and can see nothing but 
destruction threatening all the interests of the 
nation—yet we are of opinion that should this re¬ 
volt not ho speedily controlled, its effects, just at 
the present time, will be peculiarly disastrous to 
the American people. We are importing so large¬ 
ly that an immense balance is against us in favor 
of English creditors—the crops in most portions 
of Europe are good — there will he but a limited 
as gentlemanly, and 
ing a duty for which they are paid. 
The crops along the line of the rood to Buffalo 
appear well, wheat excepted. That looks very 
black and rusty, to 6ay nothing of the injury 
caused by the midge, which of course iB not ap¬ 
parent to the eye of the passing traveler. The 
best wheat seen on the route was in the town of 
Pembroke, west of Batavia; and contrary to pre¬ 
conceived opinions, it far surpassed that of the 
latter far-famed locality. 
The land farther west, as you approach Buffalo, 
is very fiat and wet, crops seeming to suffer, as 
they inevitably must, from a cold nngenial eoU.— 
Under-draining and deep tillage would do more 
for Erie county than a mine of gold, and is all 
that is needed to render it as productive as other 
localities of Western New York. Next to the Bi¬ 
ble (I mean to cast no reflections on yonr friends 
in Erie Co.,) the best hook in the world for them 
to read and profit by, is "Talpa; or, The Chron¬ 
icles of a Clay Funn,” handed me not long since 
for perusal by H. C. W., of the Rural. “ Them 
allegations,” in regard to the truths inculcated iu 
Tali - a, “are true; and this alligator knows it!” 
Now for a few mechanical facts in regard to the 
steamer Western World. Like all the boats of this 
and the Michigan Southern line npon Lake Erie, it 
is a triumph of naval architecture. I was just get¬ 
ting into a poetic rapture at this point, and going 
off in extacies over “the deep blae sea,” &c., when 
two gentlemen of color in the saloon, a couple of 
rods distant, started off in a duet on a fiddle and a 
banjo; so 1 will proceed in plain prose. The boat 
is a beautifully finished structure of huge propor¬ 
tions and driven by an engine of one thousand 
horsepower, built at the Allaire Works,New York. 
The cylinder is 81 inches diameter, 12 feet stroke, 
and the wheels about 40 feet diameter. There is 
connected with the engine a very simple appara¬ 
tus for numbering the revolutions, which, in a trip 
up, amount to about fourteen thousand. The huge 
crank, six feet in length, as it sweeps around in its 
tireless circuit within three inches of the deck, be¬ 
tween which a human body would he less than a 
worm beneath a footfall, inspires an awe in the 
spectator more than akin to terror. 
The lake is beautiful to-day; not a cloud is to 
be Been in the sky, but the motion of the boat aids 
the breeze and renders the open deck,under cover, 
cool and pleasant. More anon. w.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., AUGUST 15, 1867, 
England’s Difficulty in India. 
The English people and press find the recent 
outbreak in India the all-absorbingtopio of thought 
and discussion, and the re-enaction on a much 
more extensive scale, of the fearful scenes connect¬ 
ed with the conquest of the Sikhs in 1846 isareaded. 
At that time the conflict was waged principally 
with hut one division of the inhabitants. At the 
present, judging from the tone of the press, we 
might say the disaffection had spread throughout 
the entire country. We give the following extract 
from the account of the massacre at Delhi, fur¬ 
nished by an eye-witness: 
On the morning of the 11th of May, a party of 
the 3d Light Cavalry, variously stated at from 25 
to 250, made their appearance. They had come 
over from Meerut during the night, and were evi¬ 
dently prepared to perpetrate the most awful 
crimes, as they were fully armed, and apparently 
wild with rage and excitement. They entered the 
Calcutta gate without opposition from any of the 
police, and made their way directly towards 
Deriowgunge, shooting down in their progress all 
Earopeansthey met with. Notice was immediately 
sent to the Brigadier, and a regiment (the 64th 
N. N.) with two guns was sent flown. The 64th 
marched through the Cashmere gate in good 
order, hut on the approach of some of the Sowars, 
the Sepoys rushed suddenly to the side of the road, 
leaving their officers in tbe middle of the road, 
upon whom the troopers immediately came at a 
gallop, and, one after the other, shot them down. 
Houses were burned and property stolen and de¬ 
stroyed by them in the most wanton manner. 
Several Europeans (said to number 48) were taken 
to the Palace, or perhlps went there for protec¬ 
tion—these were taken care of by the King of 
Delhi; but the Sowars of tbe 3d Cavalry, whose 
thirst for European blood had not been quenched, 
rested not till they were all given up to them ( 
when they murdered them one by one in cold blood. 
At Meerut the outbreak commenced on Sunday, 
the 10th, about 6 o’clock in the evening. Here as 
at Delhi the Europeans were indiscriminately mas¬ 
sacred—old and young, male and female, were shot 
down in cold blood by tbe natives. 
In connection with the above, we give extracts 
from some of the leading English journals, from 
the tenor of which it is evident that disastrous 
intelligence has been received through some pri¬ 
vate channel. 
The London limes of the 23d alt. has the follow¬ 
ing: — “Delhi, the capital of Mohammedan India, 
filled with cannon, shot and Bhell, is in the handB 
of some thousands of Asiatics, maty of whom are 
Tbe place possesses war- 
lodged in tho windpipe. 
— Since April 1st up to July 28 tb, 12,687 pigs, or 913,535 
pounds of lead had been shipped from Dubuque. 
_It is supposed that sixty fishermen were drowned in 
tbe recent gale off the north shore of St. John's. 
— The potato crop in the South of England, Is said to bo 
greatly infected already by tho old disease, the rot. 
— The population of Ireland in 1841, was 8,175,238; in 
1857, 7,047,492. Decrease in sixteen years, 2,127,746.

Remarkable Phenomenon in Canada — Devas¬ 
tation l>y a Water Spout .—The Quebec Journal 
contains a thrilling description of the progress of 
a water spout which devastated the parish of St 
Eleazer, on the 18th nit The information is fur¬ 
nished by the priest of the parish, who states that 
the first warning the people had was a noise, like 
that of the sea in a storm,proceeding from alarge 
and dark cloud overhanging tbe place. Soon the 
cloud seemed to burst, letting fall towards theeartb 
a long train, eomehat in the Bhape of a funnel, 
with the Bmall end turned downwards. It revolved 
rapidly, hissing like escaping steam, and swinging 
to and fro and imitating tho contortions of a 
snake. When the small end reached the ground, 
it lifted and carried away in its revolving impetus 
whatever it came in contact with. Boards, timber, 
Btones and portions of the house were whirled in 
the air and tbrowu to a distance with a fearful re¬ 
port. Several hcnscs were thus razed to tbe 
ground. Large trees, such as maples, were up 
rooted for a distance of five acres. ThiB phenom¬ 
enon, although disastrous and awful, was a sublime 
sight.

Rumored Enlisttno for the British Armt. 
—England is again sadly in want of soldiers, and 
the N. Y. Times says iumov has gained currency 
within a few days that British agents are quietly 
engaged in the business of enlisting soldiers in 
this country for the purpose of replenishing the 
ranks of their army in India, the late defeotion 
among the native troops having rendered it neces¬ 
sary to increase their forces Sti that country with 
a more loyal class of soldiers. The Times is not 
at liberty to state the source of its information, but 
Bhould the attempt be persevered in, there is every 
reason to suppose that the parties concerned in 
the violation of law will be arrested, and there may 
be a revival of Crampton affair.

— The Mayor of tho city of Washington has reerfved $00

like stores sufficient to stand a long siege, and it 
is defended by a wall of considerable strength con¬ 
sidering the artillery we can bring against it; for, 
according to all accounts, we have only light guns, 
and are awaiting the arrival of heavier metal 
before commencing the attack. In the meantime 
aU India is looking out for news from Delhi. Not 
only throughout Bengal,where it maybe said that 
every Boldier is a mutineer at heart, but in the 
Bombay aud Madras Presidencies the native troops 
are wavering, inclined to revolt, but afraid to 
move, and asking each other whether men of their 
race can really hold the chief city of their country 
against the foreigners who have till now swept 
everything before them. * * * No 
one doubts that eventually a British force muat 
take a city garrisoned only by Asiatics, but the 
capture, after a regular siege, would be almost as 
fatal as failure. We cannot afford to make a Se¬ 
bastopol of the capital of Upper India, although 
Delhi too, is an arsenal, and we are marching to 
attack it without a Biege train. While the troops 
are making parallels and the General planning 
scientific, attacks the whole of India would be in a 
flame. Our only hope is in a speedy blow. With 
the head-quarters of the mutineers in our hands, 
their principal force crushed, their leaders hanged 
and their pnppet monarch carried off to Calcutta, 
we might wait with equanimity the progress of 
affairs. The pacification of India and the restora¬ 
tion of British reputation must indeed be a work 
of time. Tbe operations at Delhi will determine 
whether what is now a tumult is to becom e a great 
war.” 
The London Post of the 2ith ult., Bays:—“The 
mails that we are waiting for every hour may dis¬ 
close a state of thingB which will try our strength

many tens of thousands strong.” 
There is little doubt but that the whole power of 
England will be brought to bear upon this diffi¬ 
culty, and that punishment will eventually be 
meted out to the rebels, but the facts above noted
