CENT, : GREASED CARTRIDGES. Singular Origin of the Revolt in India. The L pathbice gecko gee which the revolt in In- . dia has assu will, we i ine, render 96 ceptable the following narrative of its origin and progress : ‘The first symptoms of dissatisfaction in the Bengal arm: ra to havedisplayed them- aaivestn the tenth ‘of January. They appeared at first in the nineteenth native regiment at the military station of Berhambore, a hundred niles or more north of Calcutta, and close to Moorshedabed, the former capital of Bengal. The men of the regiment complained ‘that the greese supplied for greasing the cartridges fora new rifle, with which the regiment bud been lately armed, was animal fat, which they could not touch without danger to their caste. As #00n as this dissatisfaction was brought to the notice of the Governor-Genernl, orders were is- sued and telegraphed to all the stations i Up- India, in which a like uneasiness had shown itself, that no more greased cartridges should be issued, but that the men should be attowed to purchase their own grease in the Bazars. An ides, however, appears to have spread that the Government had some covert intentions in the matter, and the men continued so unruly that Col. Mitchel, the commander of the station, resolved to disarm them. To his order to lay down their arms, backed, as it was, by the Ea- Yopean troops at the station they finally yielded, but only on condition that the awe Hse pe been pointed at them should first be with- wn. Colonel Mitchel was thought to have been too moderate. It was said, that rather than con- cede a hair, he should have blown the regiment to pieces, and it waa resolved to make an exam- ple of this regiment by disbanding it. The pay of the sepoys is, it seems, seven rupes (about three dollars and a half) a month, very high ey compared with the current rate of big. a Nor is it exactly true, as commonly stated, that the sepoy cannot hope te rise above the ranks. There are, in fact, in the native armies, two grades of commissioned officers filled by natives, the Jemadah and the Soobadah, one of cach e to every company, and as cach regiment as @ Soobadah major, there are in each regi- ment twenty-one commissioned native officers. ‘The pay of the Soobadab is 150 rupes (about $75) @ month, equal in amount to an ensign, and, = relative expense into account, equiva- lent, for all purposes of laying up money, to the RY of a major or lieutenant-colonel. ere is, sides, the chance which the native officers have of obtaining the title of Bahadoor, “ The Brave,’’ or “The Noble,’ and being admitted to the * Order of Merit of British India,” not a mere empty honor, but carrying a pension along with it. As in the Bengal army, promo- tion, so far as the natives are eiiapnl ey goes by seniority, each sepoy may expect to attain to the honors and emoluments of Bahedoor. ‘The ranks are not filled by levy or impressment but by voluntary enlistment, and as nv recruits, of which there have always been plenty offering are received beyond a certain age, the disband- ment not only deprived all the native officers, and older soldiers of their present position, but would cut off all chance of ever regaining it. In furtherance of the plan of disbandment, the 19th regiment was marched to Barrack- pore, near Caleatta. Since the removal of the artillery headquarter to Meerut in Upper India in 1842, the Queen’s troops in Calcutta and the neighborhood had been reduced to a regiment orless. That was the case at this moment, while at Barrackpore there were some 5,000 na- tive troops. Of these, two or three regiments it was thought could be depended on, but as some of the Barrackpore troops, particularly the 34th regiment, weregund to sympa- thize with the 19th, inorder to make ali sure the disbandment was delayed till the Queen’s regiment was brought from Burmah and parts of other regiments called in. On the 30th of March, the troops were drawn up on parade, the Queen’s regiments with the cavalry and ar- tillery on one side, and the native troops the other. The 1¥th which had been hal out- side, was then marched in between them and disbanded. But this example did not produce the effect expectéd, and it became necessary soon after to disband the 34th regiment also. But neither did this example have the expected effect. The same dissatisfaction with the greased cartridges began to show itself at other stations, and sexier ei at the distant station of Meerut, about forty miles from Delhi, and the headquarters of the artillery. The lines at Meerut covera large space of ground divided inte two parts, one for the native, the other for the Earopean troo; At the commencement of May there were in the European lines about 2.20) men. The native foree consisted of the 3d Light Cavalry, and the 11th and 20th regi- ments of Native Infantry. Among the men of the cavalry corps, the question of the greased cartridges was freely agitated, of which the result was that eighty- five men of the corps, refused to handle the cartridges, were tried by court-martial and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment with hard labor. On the nineteenth of May, their sentences were read out on the parade, and the offenders marched off to jail. Up to this time, the dissatisfaction had ebiefly shown itself by incendiary fires, of which there had been one or more within the lines every night. On the afternoon of the 10th, while many of the Europeans were at Chareh—for it wasSanday— the men of the two native regiments, the Lith and the 20th, as if by previous concert, assem- bled in tumultuous bodies on the parade-ground. Several of the officers hurried from their quar- ters to endeavor to pacify them, among others Colonel Ferries of the ith, who was shot down while addressing a party ot the 20th. At this moment, the troopers of the 3d Native Infantry sprang out of their quarters to join the insurgent Infantry. The whole body, now thoroughly excited, rushed through the native part of the cantonment, every officer’s house was fired, and every English man, woman or child that fell in —— way, was pitilessly massacred. Many. wever, succeeded in making their the Eu an lines. - tir ds Meanwhile, the European were called out and marched against the native lines. But the were too late to save life or pro} perty, and, night falling. the revolters effected their escape by flying, unpursued, to the open country. Some of them, ly most of them, le their way to Delhi, distant about 40 miles. The garriton of this important city, where there were very large arsenals, consisted sojely of three native regiments, with a company of na- tive artillery. On the arrival of tho mutineers, the infantry ran at once to arms, and foreed the artillery to join them—the latter, it is snid, stipulating tor the safety of their officers, who escaped to Meerut. The infantry murdered their own officers, and then began to run riot through the city. They wok possession of the fort, the palace of the titular King of Deihi, and of the civil station, murdering all the Eu- ropeans they could lay their hands on, to the number of 120—all the Europeans in the city, except twelve or fifteen, ese: . The great magazine of the arsenal was saved from be eee their hands by the gallantry of Lieut. illoughby, who biew it up, and many of the matineers along with it. He es- ecaped the effect of the explosion and arrived, though much burnt, at Maest The mutin- eers seized the Bank of Delhi, in which were $150,000 in specie ; but, while repudiating the agi Suthority, they acknowledged that of fitelar Kin of Dethi, and it was by a let- ter from him to Lieutenant-Governor Colvin at ra, % bundred miles south of Delhi, that in- telligence was first ubtained of what had hap- = ” Meerut and Delhi, the mutineers ing for (wo or three days stopped all communi- Mr. Colvin issued. on the 1 elamation placing Delhi and go be eae tial law, and another disavo any intention to interfere with the religion of the natives— apprehension upon which qe was supposed to have led to the revolt.
