OUR EPEUIAL CALOUTTA CORRESPONDENOS. Caxcurta, Sept. 9, 1857. The great Mahommedan festivai—the Moh arrum— which commenced juet as the last mail departed, has ended in most parts of Bengal without any of those disturbances which were anticipated. I wrote you in my last letter that extensive police and military preparations had been made in this-city, under an apprehensicn that the native population wou'd rise in rebellion during this festival. But, strange to say, the festival passed off more quietly than usual- Perhaps this was owing to the precautionary mea" sures which the authorities had taken, without which it is barely possible that the peace of the city would have been preserved. Since the last mail closed, two weeks ago, the po- litical condition of the country has changed but little. Delhi bas not fallen; Agra and Luck- now are still besieged by the rebels; Genera Havelock has not yet been sufficiently reinforced to recross the Ganges, and the whole territory between Cawszpore and Delhi remains in a state of anarchy and confusion. We have news from Lucknow up to the 2d instant, reporting the garrison to be in good spirits, but anxiously waiting for relief. If that re- lief does not reach them soon, we fear that the hor- rible fate of the ate Cawnpore garrison will over- take them ; for the enemy besieging the city now number, it is said, 38,000 men of all arms, under the direction of Nena Sahib. This savage, who has written his own name in blood upon the page of Anglo-Indian history, is a living demonstration of the fact that, however successful our European civi- lization may be in gilding over the vices and anti- pathies of the Hindoo, itis not competent to eradi- cate them in one generation. The old leaven of su- perstition underlies the social system of India, and until that system is utterly overthrown, such fiends as Nena Sahib will live to appal us by their mon. strous atrocities, As his name has been published so frequently in connection with the rebellion which has devastated Upper India, you will be interested to learn something of his personal history. He is a Konkan Brahman, and was born in the village of Ven of Nasrapoor, at the base of the Matheran mountain. His father was a begging Bhatta, who went to Bithoor in the hope of sharing in the charities of his countryman jee Rao. the ex-Peshwa, who, after his overthrow by the British in 1818, resided at Bithoor until he died in December, 1852, receiving an annual pen- sion of eight lacs of rupees, or about $400,000, The old Peshwa became attached to the boy Nena Dhoovdhoopunt, and adopted him as a son, that he might, with the other adopted sons, join in the fuveral rites intended to promote the Peshwa's jiritual welfare in another world. Though Nena thus graduated in a school of licentiousness and debauchery, he seemed to an ordinary observer to be the last man who could be guilty of those fiendish atrocities with which his name will be forever identified. He is what is generally called “a native of English tastes.’ He inherited a large part of the late Peshwa’s wealth, lived in his castle at Bithoor in magnificent style, 8} the English language, and hasalways affected n refinements. I have frequently seen him in Calcutta, where he was very lavish of his wealth, ‘ticularly among the native jewellers, with whom e was a favorite customer. There are many officers in the Indian service who have enjoyed his hospi- talities at Bithoor, and who tell stories of the mag- nificent entertainments given by him on the Ganges, in gaily equipped boats, freignted with flowers and musicians. e of his best frien those whom gbur. Wha: has so suddenly changed “gentleman” into a blood-thirsty fiend, it is difficult to tell. If he can be caught alive, you may be sure that he will be made to atone most terribly for his ¢ It is proper here to say that thouga, as you know, his crimes are great enough, he is innocent of one enormity which has been ‘ged upon him in connection with the massacres on Ganges. The depositions of native servants and others who witnessed these massacres have recently been pub- lished in the Calcutta papers, and they all state that none of the English women who fell into Nena Sa- ib's hands were violated or removed to his harem. y were all cut to — suddenly and without any warning by his followers. Accountant General of the government pub- lished a notice on the 3d inst. warning the public against purchasing certain government securities, amount to three lacs and three undred rupees ($150,000), which stand in the mate of “that arch fiend Nena Sahib.’ It appears that the Nena has already sold o!! the government ag hegene which stood in the name of the late Bajee , and which in 1851 amounted to about fifty lacs of rupees ($2,500,000), which were at that time ren- dered unnegotiable by a caveat of the Supreme Court. Since the last mail left Caloutta we have received intelligence of an event which would be considered by the government to be of great political import- ance had it occurred at any other time than the resent. I refer to the death of the old chieftain Gooab Sing, the independent ruler ot Cashmere. Goolab Bing was a brother of Dyan Sing, who was the Prime Minister of the celebrated Ranjeet Sing, “the lion of Labore,” who died in 183). At the close of the Sikh war in 1546, as the readera of In- dian history will remember, the territory of Cash- mere was transferred in independent possession by- the British government to Goolab Sing, in conside ration of seventy five lace of Soe (83,750,000), and the presentation of annual gifts (in the shape of , goats and horses,) in acknowledgment of the British supremacy. Though an uneducated man, who commenced life, like his brother, the accom- plished Premier of Ranjeet Siag, as a common sowar, Goolab Sing natural talents of @ high order, and was sufficiently skilled as 8 warrior and a diplomatist to make him o dangerous enemy even to the British government. However, had good sense h to mind bis own affairs and not trou- ble himseif about his English neighbors in the Pun- an ‘press in.

What complications may arise from these circumstances, it is difficult to foretell.

In this connection let me inform you thata very large and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Caloutta was held on the 26th ult., for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on the state o/ the govern- mnt of the Kast Indis Company. The leaders of the meeting were members of the Calcatta bar.

OUR NEBRASKA CITY COBREPPONDENCE. Nesrasxa Crry, N. T., Sept. 24, 1857. The most important treaty ever made by the United States government with the Indians was con- cluded this afternoon, at Table Creek, near this city, with the Pawnee nation, by General James W. Den” ver, Commissioner of Indian affairs, and the princi- pal chiefs of the four tribes, consisting of the Grand Pawnees, Pawnee Loups, Pawnee Republicans and Pawnee Tappabs. . ‘The policy of General Denver has been most ex cellent and judicious, as the result of h's efforts clearly show, and his success is the more gratifying to the numerous friends of the General, as it is to us, from the faet that several commissioners have heretofore attempted to treat with the Pawnees and failed, much to the regret of all who live on the borders. As there has been much trouble between the settlers on Salt Creek and elsewhere in the back country and the Pawnees, we hail this treaty with great pleasure and satisfaction, and feel that we cannot be too thankful to Commissioner Denver for his efficient action. tion with this treaty is, that where nearly everybody | patie Oi has succeeded, in only three | jays, in al General's large, commanding figure made him at once a favorite with the chiefs, who crowded around | their “ Great Fatber” in evident admiration. Major W. W. Dennison deserves credit, as he has our gratitude, for his active, judicious co-operation | in this matter. Major A. 8. H. White, Chief Clerk , of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is also entitled to | our thanks for his aid in the consummation of this glorious result. ‘This is the mauguration of a new system of trea- | ties, being based on the education of the Indians in not only the ordinary branches of common school education but the arts and sciences of civilized life— agric-lture, mechanics, &c , as will appear from the synopsis of the treaty which I send. AM of the claims of the Pawnees are now ceded to the United States except a reservation of 30 miles long by 15 miles wide, to which the Indians will re- move jiately; and as it is located out of the route of emi, ion, there need be no fear of the whites and Indians coming in contact, nor of the latter being disturbed for many years. After the signing of the treaty a large company of ladies and gentlemen from Nebraska City visited the eamp and were entertained by a grand exhibition by the Ind‘avs of their war dances and other savage recreations.

Under all the disadvantages of the commercial panic and dreadfully disagreeable weather, this first agricultural show of the State Board of Massachn- setts has been inangurated; but, under the practical generalship of the Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, and with the assistance of Mr. Chas. L. Flint, Secretary tothe Board, and the valisnt “Major who wheeled the apples,” it promises to be a success. Tuesday morning opened up cold and blustering, and the piercing wind swept across the wide, flat grounds, and whistled and moaned through all the crevices in the fence, with most wofal foreboding of failure. The thousand or = ae for agri- culture overcame their propensity to stay away, were quite glad to confine thelr examinations to the im- plements and farm products in the mammoth teat; or if perchance they did examine the horses and cattle, they took good care to expose themselves as little as possible to the sweeping wind. The second day was but a slight improvement a the first, but to-day we have been more favor ol, and anticipate a progressive improvement until the close. ‘The formalities of the Le J of the show con- sisted merely of the formation of a grand cavalcade of the four hundred fine horses entered for exhi- bition, which, as the head of the colamn came in front of the judget’ pagess, halted to await the de- livery of a yer but pertinent address by the President. ir. Wilder happily remarked that whilst he deeply aympathised with our commercial public in their present embarrassments, he yet look- ed upon agriculture as the real backbone of the country, and it was in just such times as these that farming and farmers were fully appreciated and looked up to. The cavalcade Was headed by, ten powerful draft horses, one individual of which ag | 1,800 Ibs, and was about eighteen hands high. Foliowing them came ten double teams, and behind these one bundred andyfifteeen single horses before buggies and sulkies. The string of animals reached entirely around the half mile track, and as it passed before the judges’ stand to the music of the celebrated Boston Brigade Band, it was a grand sight, anda fitting formality for the opening of the — ann on _ fair.
