Not illustrated. 1862 Excerpt: ...stales. Yet barely three months had passed from Lord Dalhousie's landing in the Hooghley, when the murder of Anderson and Agnew, at Mooltan, gave token of all that commonly follows such murders in the East. Then came a long series of those deeds of which the history of British India is so full, and of which no other history can produce the like. Single officers--at distant stations, alone, unsupported, in the midst of waverers, and fanatics, and traitors--by courage, and command, and indomitable determination, and infinite address, kept at bay, for many months, with mere handfuls of men, all the various armies of Singhs, and Sirdars, and Ameers, and Khans. But in spite of Edwardes, and Cortland, and Herbert, and Lawrence, the tide of rebellion swelled, till, at Chillianwalla, it broke with a vengeance on the army of Lord Gough. Such was the greeting which awaited the new GovernorGeneral, when on the first anniversary after his arrjval in India, he reached the scene of action on the frontier. After n bloody action, characterised by circumstances of extreme danger, and of some discredit, the British army had enough to do to maintain itself on the field of battle. Salvos from the enemy's artillery gave vent to an exultation, which was justified by the capture of four English standards and two English guns. Who does not remember how that salute sounded in the ears of England; and how the Government and people, with one voice, called for the man to whose genius they already owed their latest conquest in the East? Long before Sir Charles Napier, however, had reached the Punjaub, Lord Gough had retrieved his credit as a general; and that onward march, which has known so few halts, had carried the British forces in triumph to Lahore." At Guzerat the Sikh army ...
