The Huron Expositor, 1878-12-27, Page 6The Afghan Campaign of 1842. How the English Army was Destroyed. Both the English and. Afghans have good. reasons for remembering each other. In 1837 the conduct of Russia in connection with the Persian siege of Iberia excited. an uneasy feeling in the minds of the India -English Govern- ment, and Burnes was 'sent by the Governer -General as resident to the Ameer's Court at Gabel. Dost Mo- hammei and the Engllsh disagreed 'upon terms, and the English deter- tnined to attempt to »estabhsh Shah Shuja„ who hadlong been a refugee in English territory. The King of the Puglab pledged, his co-operation, but afterward refused the English permis- sion to cross his territory. The artriy of the Indus" -latuiebered 21,000. They assembled at Upper Sind in March", 1838, and advanced un- der the command of Sir John Keane. They met •with littie opposition, but suffered great hardships. The Kahn of Kandahar fled to Persia, and in April, 1839, the city was occupied, and. Shah Shuja and his English allies centinued their victorious march, and finally Dost Mohammed. and his army being com- pletely vanquished they entered the capital. The war was thought to be at an end. Sir John Keane, who was • made a peer, returned. to India with a, large part of his force, leaving behind, besides the Shith's •force, 8,000 men. Sii: W. Macnaughton remained as en- voy, and Sir A. - 13urifes as his col- league. Dost Mohammed surrendered in No- vember,1840, and was sent to India. Shah Shuja and his allies retained possession of Calaul and Kandahar two years. Meantime insurrections against the new government weio frequent, but the authorities, confident of their strength, paid little or no heed to these warnings. Nov. 2, 1841, a violent re- volt broke out at Cabul, and Burnes and other officers were massacred. The commander of The British army, , General Elphinetone, was shattered in health and le poor condition to direct resistance to such a host of maddened men. Besides, the position of the British camp, its counection with the citadel, and the location of the stores were the worst -possible. Disaster fol- lowed disaster. After the capture of Dost Moham- med, his son Akbar Khan took the lead. With him a conference was ar- ranged for the 23rd of December, at which the envoy, -Maenaughton, was foully murdered by Akb'ar'a own hand, and with a ball from a ,pistol which Macnauglitou had presented him ouly the day before. The naked and muti- lated body of the envoy was dragged -through the bazaar, and for days ex posed to the view of the iabble. At the same time Macn &tighten was killed, the chiefs with Akbar made an attack upon the staff of the envoy and nearly all of them were -cut down. The scuffle was seen from the ! English camp, Ewa when those who had. escaped reported the murder, Elphinstone was solicited to at once attack and destroy the- city. Ile only secured a small qnautity of grain, and this after hard "Hut what do you think now ?" in- terpoSed the elder. '1 have been looking," said the infi- del,' into the nature of that law. I have been trying to see whether I can add anything to it, or take anything from/it, so as to make it better, and sir, I cannot. It is perfectl The firstoom- mandment directs tin{ to make the Cre• tor the object of our supreme love and reverence. .That is right. If He be oiir creator, preserver and supreme beneactor, we ought to treat Him, and no o her, as snob. The second forbids idol try. The third forbids profanity. The ourth fixes a time for religious worsjhip, If there be a God, he ought sure y to be worshipped. It is suitable that Jthere should he an outward homage sign cant of our inward regard. If God be worshipped, it is proper that sorn time should be set apart for that purose where all may worship Him haruaoniously, without interruption. One day in seven is certainly not too muc , and I do not know that it is too little. The fifth defines the peculiar duties arising from family relations., Injuries to our neighbors are there classified by the moral law.

For inOtance, the greatest in- jury to life is, !murder; to chastity, adultery; to property, theft; to char- acter, perjury. Now, the greater of- fence must include the lesser of the same kind. Murder must include any injury to life; adultery, every injury to purity, and se ef the rest. And the moral code is closed and perfected. by a command' forbidding every improper desire in regard ! to our neighbors. • I hav been thinking, where did Moses 1 get his law? I °have read history. The Egyptians and adjacent nations were idolaters, so were the Greeks and Romans, and the best Greeks or Ro- mans never gave a code of morals like this) Where did Motes get this law, which surpasses the wisdom and phil- osophy of the most enlightened ages? He lived at a period comparatively bar- barous, but he has given a law in which the learning and sagacity of all subse- quent times can detect no flaw. Where ctid he get it? He. could not have soared so much above his age as to have devised it himself.I am satis- fied where he obtained it. It came down from heaven. I am convinced of the religion of the Bible." , ' Death of a "Black Watch" Piper. Kenneth Stuart, recently one of the pipers of the 42d Highlanders, died at Glaschoil' near Gra,ntown, on the 31st October. He served with distinction during the Ashantee campaign, and for bis conduct in the war received a med- al and clasp. A short time ago he re- turned home to Scotland from Malta a helpless invalid.
