    A striking auecdoie is told in a communication- ' to the JPooHah O&server .: — "By recent letters areeeivedfiroiH Brigadier HaA'elock ' s force , it appear * that on the . arrival of the de-tachineut of the 78 th Higidandecs at that place of skulls , Cavm- pore , after the massacre of our countrymen , women , aud children , they , hy some means or other , found the re- mains of one of General Wheeler ' s daughters . The sight ¦ was horrible , aud so aroused them that gathering around they removed the hair from oft * the poor girl ' s head , a portion oiwhich was carefully selected ami sent home to her surviving friends . The remainder they equally divided amongst themselves ; and , on ¦ each man re- ceiving his carefully served-out portion , they all quietly and very patiently applied themselves to the tedious task of counting out the number of hairs contained in each individual ' s lot ; and , when this task was aecom- plished , they one and all swore most solemnly by Heaven and the God that made them , that for as many hairs as they held in their fingers , so many of the cruel . and treacherous mutineers should die by their hands ! An oath they will no doubt most religiously keep . " From various sources we gather a few more details of the massacre , and the spirit of revenge awakened inourmen : —¦ " A correspondent of the Hurharu . -writing from Cawnpore , says , that in more than one place on the avails of the chambers in which the English ladies aud children were confined previous to their- murder , is scratched . ' Remember us ! ' ' Revenge us ;! ' ' A correspondent of the Bombay Gazette writes from Cawnpore , on the 23 rd Sep- tember , that the men of the force hail sworn to take deep revenge on the mutineers -whenever and -wherever they fell in with them , the oath having been drawn from them by the horrible sig hts with which they -were irreeted on entering the entrenched position held by NVheeler and his little band . He continues : ' We have already slain numbers of the monsters , and , with the blessing of God , will yet slay them in thousands . ' ¦ " ¦¦ Mr . George Parhury -writes thus to the Times fromOarshalton , October 15 th :- — ¦' * .

I can account for this further in telligence . The packets for the steamers were closed at Calcutta on the evening of the 8 th . The item ^ n ques tion probably reached the Government during the night and was published on the following morning , the paper containing it being sent down the river for the chance reaching the steamer , which it did .
