Terrible Scenes Witnessed by an Ameri- cin While in India. ~ comes “I shudder yet when I think about ” were the words which prefaced the remarkable story related to a reporter by Mr. William Bently. This gentleman, says the Pittsburg Commercial Guzette, is one ot the it, few surviving European officers who witnessed the blood-curdling terrors of the Sepoy mutiny in India in 1857 and 1858. tached to the corps of engineers in ” “I was a lieutenant at- continued, It was on the soth of May, 1357, that the uprising ot the Sepoys oc- curred there. That was Sunday evening. I saddled my horse to go and see a frend who was an officer of one of the native regiments of the infantry. The Sepoysin this regi- ment belonged to the disaffected troops, but were not suspected. Of course I had no suspicion. J had just arrived at my friend’s bungalow when the natives broke open the bells of arms and began the slaughter of officers, who had just arrived from the Bengal army,” he “We were stationed at Meerut. their quarters. Tao One whom I spoke with a few moments Each was killed on sight. betore was Col, Finnis, the brother ; of the then lord mayor of London. My friend told me to look sharp and | save my life.

The massacre of the officers and cir ladies continued throughout the night, and the scenes among the led and wounded were taghtful | bevond description. For instance, | on the stage of the theatre at Meerut counted no less than thirty-six corpses. “These were nothing in compart- Fn which at this long of time I wholly t reverts to that country ov with the scenes awnpoor awtul scenes, tynee dis am quite unable to banish trom my mind when and time, it was here that, by orders of Nana Sahib, Brg. Gen. Wheeler and his brave soldiers were sliughtered in nehes and fired upon by masked batteries. The Nana put death all women found in the town after cutting their feet off and subjecting them to other outrages. ‘Miss Wheeler, the lovely daught- er of the general, rather than sub- mut to the gross yiolence, leaped in to adeep well. The Nana at once seized upon this horrible idea, and as tast as the European ladies were massacred their bodies were flung into this well. At the edge of this famous ‘Weill of Cawnpoor’ I stood within a week alter it was filled with its human contents. The stench arising trom it was something that is sickening even to think of now. Over that site now sises one of the most) maguificent pieces of architecture to he seen in all India, itis a fine octagon marble building around the well, without a root, and inclosing an elaborate tomb. It is near the theater and close to the bank ot the finest canal in the world the Ganges. Memoral gardens have also been laid out around the scene of the massacre and a_beauti ful church erected. to “Children’s brains were dashed out against the walls of the building. When I reached Cawnpoor the well was guarded and railed in. On the walls ot dwellings we saw signs of teartul slaughter. ‘here were tat- ters of clothing, clumps ot hair clot- ted thick with blood, while the slaughter house, was smeared with blood and flesh. Thirty pairs of feet were found in one place. On the two days ot the massacre, out of wine hundred Europeans, at least two-thirds were butchered, September two hundred more were | assacred. and in | vin the fearful retribunion which Nowed T saw the mutineers strap- ped to t own to pieces; others were hanged | srywhere: | best men at our mess; | bellion he escaped, and we ! lantic City im the }mand personal identification. headed, and other shot down with volleys ot musketry. “I have seen the Nana, too. he was one of th Be he fore the mutiny the after eral chases after bim. It was thought that he was hidden in the Nepaut hills, and I haye good reason to be lieve that he died in the jungle. “At the siege and capture of Delhi I was present, and tormed one ot the party to blow open the Cashmere gate, when Lieut. Howe, Sert. Car michael, and two others were killed. I assisted to carry out of the ditch, where he fell mortally wounded, the brave and good John Nicholson, un- der a heavy fire trom the walis and bastions of the city. “At the capture of Lucknow I was employed on the engineer’s staff, and with Lieuts.
