CALCUTTA.
September 26
Official telegrams have been received by tbe Government of India confirming the news received yesterday of tbe defeat of Ayoub Khan by the Ameer at Candahar. The battle was, however, fought on Friday, and not on Thursday last, but was, as previously reported, of a most sanguinary character. For fully five hours the most desperate fighting took place, and great loss was inflicted on both sides. The Ameer's troops have since partially plundered Candahar, which has been completely evacuated by Ayoub Khan.
