NO. 44. THE SUN. Hie Indian mutinies Tlirillinsr Account of the Relief of Lucknow. A letter dated Calcutta, October 8th, eivea th following thrilling account of the relief of tlie besieged at Lucknow: I elve vou the followin? account of the relief of Lucknow, as described by a lady, one of the res- cuta party: un every side death stared us in the face; no human skill could avert it anv longer.

saw the moment annroach when we must bid farewell to earth, yet without feeling that unutter- aoie norror wmcn must have been experienced ttj the unhappy victims at We were resolved rather to die than to yield, and were fully pursuaded that in twenty four hours all would be over. The engineers had said so, and air knew the worst. We women strove to encourase each other, and to perform the light duties which had betn assigned to us, such as conveirinsr orders to the battel ies and supplying the men with provisions, especially cups of coffee, which we prepared day and night. 1 had gone out to try and make myself useful, in company with Jessie Brown, the wife of a corporal In my husband's regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a state of restless excitement all through the seige, and had fallen away visibly wi.bin the last few days.

A constant fever corsumed her, and her mind wandered occasionally, especially that day, when the recollection of home seemed powerfully present to her. At last, overcome with fatigue, she lay down on the ground, wrapped ud in her Dlald. I sat be side her, promijiiitr to awaken her when, as she said, 'her father should return from the plowing." She fell at length into a profound slumber, motionless, and apparently breathless her head resting in mj lap. myself, could no longer re sist me inciinttion to sleep, in spne of the continual roar of the cannon. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild, unearthly scream close to my ear; my companion stood upright beside me, her arms ralstd, and her head bent forward In the attitude of listening.

A look of intense delisht broke over her countenance, she grasped my hand, drew me towaras ner, ana exclaimed: "jjinnaye hear it? dinna ve hear it? Av, I'm no dreamin': its the loan the HiartlandersV Wef? saved! we're ived!" Then, Hinging herself oh her knees, he thanked God with patsionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered; my English ears heard oi.ly the and I thought my poor Jtss'e was sti ravine, but she darted to the bat teries, and I heard her cry incessantly to the men, Courage! courage! hark to the slogan to the Macgregor, the grandest them a'. Herers help at To describe the effect of these words upon the soldiers would be impossible. For a moment they ceasea tiring, and every soul listened in intense anxiety- Gradually, however, there arose a mur mur of blttter disappointment, and the wailing of the women who had flocked to the spot burst out anew as the colonel shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard nothing but the rattle of the musketry.

A few moments more this death-like suspense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie, wlo had sunk on the ground, sprang to her feet, cried, in a voice so clear and pietcing that it was heard along the whole line Will ve no believe it noo? The slogan has ceased indeed, but the Campbells are comin'! D'ye heat? d'ye At that moment we seemed indeed to hear the voice of God in the distance, when the pibroshof the Kiglanders brought us tidings of deliverance, for now there was no longer any doubt of the fact. That shrill, penetrating, ceaseless sound, which rose above all other sounds, could come neither from the advance of the enemy, nor from the work of the sappers. No, it was indeed the blastof the Scottish bagpipes, now shrill and harsh, as tlreatening vengeance on the foe, then In softer tones seemiBg to promise succor to their friends in nt el. Never, ascene as that which followed. Not a heart in the residency of Lucknow but bowed itself before God.

All by one simultaneous impulse fell upon their knees, and nothing was heard but bursting sobs and the mnr-mured voice 1 1 praer. Then all arose, and there rang out from a thousand lips a great shout of joy which resounded far and wide. and lent new vigor to that blessed pibroch. To our cheer of" "God save the Queen" they replied by the well-known strain that moves every Scot to tears "Should auld acauaintance be forsot." After that no- thin? else made anv impression on me. I scarce ly remember what followed.

Jessie was presented to the General on his entrance into the fort, and at the officers' banquet her health was drunk by all Dresent. while the Diners marched around the table playing once more the familiar air of "Auld lang syne." Our readers, however, will remember that since Lucknow was relieved by General Havelock the Sepoy force, from 50.000 to 70,000 again surrounded the residency, and, at later threatening the Gallant Havelock and his little army with destruction. Sir Colin Campbell, at the head of 10,000 men, was, however, quicxiy advancing to the rescue. Death of Miss Leslie, the Authoress. Miss Eliza Leslie, a lady who was probably aj widely known by her writings as anyone that ha ever lived in the United States, died on Friday, at Gloucester, N.

where she has been confined to her room for some months from an injury re ceived there last summer. Miss Leslie was a na. tive of Philadelphia, and was sixty-nine years of age. Her family, on the father's side, were of Scotch descent, her great grand-father having come frcm Scotland and settled in Cecil county, Marv- and, in 1745. His wife was of Swedish descent.

The Philadelphia JuUetin. speaking of the de ceased, says: Hw father, who was a man of much mzenuity. rivvnted atuaent oi matnematics iuu unuii oj. nhilnuinhv and a familiar friend ranaun, Rittenhouse, Jefferson and others of the great men of rhlladeipnia society iu iuotc um, woiu to London towaras me cioseoi me iai ceiiiury, and there his son C. R- Leslie, one of the greatest painters in England, was born in the year 1794.

Mr. Leslie returned to Philadelphia in 1S00, and his children received the best education that the schools of the day afforded. Eliza received tho rough instruction In the homelier as well as the more eleeant accomol Jshments. She went to Mrs. Goodfellow's cooking-school, and her first essay at authorship was a little volume called 'Seventy-Five Receipts," designed to assist ladies in housekeeping.

Afterwards she wrote a number of little books for young readers, which were excellent of their kind and very popular. The first genuine sensation, however, that her writings created, was that produced by the lively sketch called "A3rs. Washington Potts," which appeared in 1332. This and other spirited tales, in which satire was rsleasactlv minaled with eenial pic tures of American social life, were collected in a volume published In 1S33, called "Pencil Sketches." Several similar volumes were published subsequently. Some years later sue wrote "Ai- thea Vernon" and "Amelia, or a-Young Lady's Vir.isaitndes both of which were quite popular, Knt it is as a writer of books oa cookery and housekeeping that Miss Leslie Is most widely known, and there Is scarcely a home in the United Staff wht re her name is not literally a "house hold word." Her various receipt books have probably attained a larger circulation than almost any other American book ever written.

The Right Talk A straight out writer gives the following advice to those young men who "depeud on father" for their supp-rt, and take no interest whatever in bustness, but are regular drones In the hive, subsisting on that which is earned by others: Come, off with your coats, clinch the plow handles, the axe, the pickaxe, spade anything that will enable you to stir your blood! Fly around and tear your jacket, rather than be passive recipients of the old man's bounty! Sooner than play the dandy at dad's expense, hire yourself out to some potato patch-let yourself to stop bog boles or watch the bars; and when you think yourself entitled to a resting spell, do Uonvour own hook. Get up in the morning help" the old gentleman turn round at least twice before brt-akfast give him now and then a generous lift in business -learn how to take the lead, and not depend forever on being led; and you have no idea how the discipline will benefit you. Do this, and our word for it, you wlllseem to breathe a new atmosphere, possess a new frame, tread a new earth, wake to a new destiny and you may enbegin to aspire to manhood. Take off, then, thafring from your little finger, break your cane, shave your upper Hp, wipe your nose, hold up by all mans never again eat the bread of idleness, nor depend on father.

The telegraph a few days ago gave us the substance ef the following letter, published in the St. Louis Democrat, detailing; the outbreak in Bourbon county, Kansas. The Pemocrat, it vrttl be remembered, is a violent free soil paper, and it received the letter from the office ot the Crusader of Freedom, a journal of the iwe political stamp: Doniphan, Dec.

21, Thursday, A. M. By express messenger from Lawrence 0 have just received the following dispatch: A civil war is raging in Bourbon The pro-slavfTy men last week commenced a sertfeff persecutions and prosecutions of the free tTSsU. men. Several homes were burned down.

The free State men rallied. A scout par of fifteen came upon a body of Missouriai ne Barnsvllle, a town near Fort Scott, eighty who gave them chase. Five free State men were eaptured, making in-all eight prisoners. Additional free State men assembled. TIeU, S.

Marshal came down on them with a force of eighty men and demanded1- their unconditional surrender. The free State men replied to this demand, as the party advanced, by a volley of musket balls. The fire was returned. The conflict lasted an hour. Tbe pesse retreated to a distance, and finally fled in disorder.

One man on their side was killed, two mortally wounded; the U. S. Marshal dangerously injured. The free State men received no damage. Colonel Phillips, of the militia, was sent by Lane to command this forces with orders to avoid the troops He ad vanced ou Fort Scott, but found that before he could give battle to tbe invader, he would have to encounter several companies of dragoons.

He retreated and encamped. Lane went down and is now entrenched at Sugar Mound. Thetroops were within twelve miles of him, advancing to drive him from his position His men held a council and resolved to fight the dragoons, if they attack them. Lane cordially endorsed their action. Be it remembered that Lane is now the major-general of tbe legalized militia, and 13 therefore protected by lawv A fiht is probable.

The Lawrence boys went up to Lecompton today and demanded of Denver the arms seized by the dragoons from the emigrant train which came in under Eldridge. He was unwilling to restore them, but seeing that they would be forcibly taken if he did not consent, finally agreed to deliver them up. The boys returned with them last night 20 sabres, and 176 muskets and carbines, in good order and condition. A GaoD-Tma Coming Itn- the course of the recent debate in the Senate-on the treasury note bill, Senator Seward gave this cheering view: In my judgment the acceleration of business is going io ot- rap juss nt proportion iu mo iaimi- ty with which business has declined, and I expect ta- see every day, and every hour of every day, marked by a rise in the prosperity of the country, graduated just exactly by tbe sudden ness et the depression. The causes oi tne atsis er are gone.

I think there is nothing before us but a great revival of business and plethora or money to revive it in all department. I may be mistaken In this, but I am willing to stand by it. A revival is no doubt at hand, and while it will be hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by the thousands who have been oppressed and retarded in their operations for several months, It is to be hoped that the lesions of the past will not be alto gether forgotten, and that the impulsive and en- thuaiastie will not be carried away into new excesses. We fully agree, however, with Senator Seward that the causes of the disaster are gone and that a good time is coming. Affaies is Ckcil Cocaty.

The Tragedy in Montgomery County Further Particulars.

The Sun of Saturday contained the fact of atrageiy cnasted nesr ColesviUe, Montgomery county, on Thursday night last, li which George' a shoemaker, cut the thr of his wife with a razor, and then attempted se destruction by cutting his own throat. We have since gathered the following particulars or the affair: Lesure, it appears, resided on the farm of T. Rawlins, In the capacity of tenant, and occupied with his family a small house em the nme. About sundown on Thursday evening he quit work and went tt the house, where he found his wife employed in her tSomestlc labsrs and Ereparing the table for supper. Lesure took down is razor as though for the purpose of shaving.

Mrs. Lesure unsuspecting pursdsd her avocations, when Leshure grasped her and wit hone blow cut her throat frcm ear to ear, 1 ay ing open th throat to th verte'ore se verln the jugular vein. The blood gushet? forth, and the woman started out and ran from the house, fallowed by Lesure. She ran about thirty yards in the di ection of a neighbor's house, then faltered from he loss of blood and fell dowtrln the jatiS. Lesure picked her up and partly dragged and Carried her back Into the house and la'd her on the bed.

She was then dead.

After washing up the redr current and putting flfSngs In ordein the room where the dead body of" hi" victim lay, he started? off for the residence of T. Rawlins, distant about half a mile, and? presented himself before- the occupants, besmeared with the blood which flowed from the wounff in'hls thSnatf He told them he had killed his as he had said he woxsld, and wanted the f.riily to go owr and see 2br themselves.

From the Daily News' City Article. A considerable fall In the value of money Ii evidently impending. Speculation is increasing in the stock markets. The funds to-day were very buoyant. English, Canadian, Indian and other railway shares were in active speculative demand, in many cases at considerably advanced rates.

Now that the more prominent stocks have experienced so important a rise, the speculators are eagerly turning their attention to a variety of securities which have hitherto been neglected. All the markets closed witn a avorable appearance in anticipation of favorable bank returns. At the Bank of England to-day the demand was again only moderate, whilst large sums fall due there from day to day. In the open market the signs of returning ease are unmistakable. Good bills are currently discounted at 9 per eent.

Choice paper is done at t) and 9 per cent and in exceptional cases transactions take place as low as 3)4 per cent.

The latter are, of course, exceptional rates, but we quote them because they denote the tendency of the market. A reduction in the bank rate is evidently at hand. A very large amount of money is seeking employment in the stock exchange on loans cr government securities, but the highest rates obtainable are 5 to 0 per cent, for short periods.
