The Chinese Government having (through the Hon Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com pany the privilege of connecting the great sea ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele graph cable, we propose commencing operations in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred miles at once, between the following port s, viz : Population. Canton 1,000.000 Maeoa... 60.000 Hong-Kong 250,000 Swatow 200,000 Amoy 250,000 Foo-Chow 1,250,000 Wan-Chu 300,000 Ningpo 400.000 Hang Cbean 1,200,000 Shanghai 5,006,000 Total .5,910,000 These ports have a foreign commerce of $900.- 000.000. and an enormous domestic trade, beside* which we have the immense interna' commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through j its canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this company proposes i erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means of communication, which mast command there, ae everywhere else, the commu nications of the Governmont, of business, and of social life especially in China Abe has no postal j system, and ter enfy mesne now ofeommuuicating information is by I—*, — 1 '-• j era on water. The Western World knows that China is a very large country, in the main densely peopled ; but few vet realize that ehe contains more than a third j of the human race The latest returns made to j her central authorities for taxing purposes by the local magistrate make her population Four hun dred and Fourteen millions , and this more likely to be under than over the actual aggregate, j Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, J not only can but do read and write Her civili- i zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach- j ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly j quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili ty for procuring early information. It ii observed in California that the Chinese rnaka great Gse of the telegraph, though it there transmits messages in English alone. To-dav great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence If the telegraph we propose connecting til their great seaports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would pay the cost within the first two years of its suc cessful operation, and would steadily increase thereafter.

I y° u ALL I HAVE HEARD OP HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, AND JHOOFLANI)'S GERMAN TONIC. j Prepared by Br. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia, j Their introduction into this country from Ger j many occurred in 1825. THEY CURED YOLR FATHERS AND MOTHERS, And will cure you and your children. They are entirely different from W T the many preparations n-.w in (ti. oomitxy cat I—l leil Killer aor Tonics. Tbey are no tavern A -"-preparation, or any thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi cines. They are I The greatest inou/n remedies for \ Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA, Nervous Deliilitv, JA UNDUE, Diseases of the Kidneys, ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, stomach, or IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fullnes of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea. Heartburn, Disgust for Food. Full ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried or Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart, Cnoking or Suffocating Sensa a I tions when in a Eying Posture, Dimness of V 7 Vision, Dots or Webs before the sight, Dull Paiu in the Head, Defi ciency of Perspiration. Yellowness oftbe Skin and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imagi nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits. All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di gestive Organs, combined with impure blood. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots, Herbs, and Barks from which these extracts are made, are gathered in Gerraauy. All the medi cinal virtueus are ex tracted from them by a scientific Chemist, i ft These extracts are then forwarded to this country to be used ex pressly fvr the manutauturo of these Bitters. There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only Bitters that can be used in esses where alcoholic stimulants are not advisable. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC is a combination of all tho ingredients of the Bit ters, with pi'Ri Santa Cruz Rum, Orange, etc. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required. \ on will bear in mind that these remedies are en tirely different from any others advertised for the cure of the diseases named, these being scientific preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth- I era are mere decoctions of rum in some form. The TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public Its M.ste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it. while its life-giviug. exhilarating, and medicinal quali ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of •11 tonloa. DEBILITY. There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger man Bitters or Tonic -> in cases of Debility. They impart a tone 1-4 and vigor to the whole system, strengthen JL the appetite, cause an enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di gest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound, ; healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge i from the eye. impart a bloom to the ohecks, and change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced. ! stout, and vigorous person. Weak and Delicate Children are made strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. In j fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be ; administered with perfect safety to a child three months old, the most delicate female, or a man of ninety. These remedies are the best Blood Purifiers ever known and will cure all diseases resulting from bad bloed. Keep your blood pure; keep your Liver in order, w- keep your digestive organs in a sound, I healthy condition by the use of these rente XI dies, and no diseases will ever assail you. The best men in thecountry recommend them If years of honest reputation go for anything, you must try these preparations. FROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia. I'tt. LADCLPHIA, March 16 : 1867. I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters" iB not an iutoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use ful in disorders of the digestive organs, and of great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner vous action in the system. Yours Tnil v. GEO." W. WOODWARD. FROM IION. JAMES TAOMPSON. Judge of the Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA. April 28, 1856 I consider "Hoofland's German Bitters" a valua ble medicine in case . of attacks of Indiges i tion or Dyspepsia. I \ can certify this from my experience of it. Yours, with respect, JAMES THOMPSON. FROM REV. JOSEPH H. KENNARD, D D , Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia. Dtt. JACXSOS — DEAR SIB: —I have been fre quently requested to connect my name with rec o'mmendationa of different kinds of medicines, but regarding the piaotiee as out of my appropriate sphere, I'have in all eases declined ; but with a clear proof in various instances, and particularly in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoot land * German Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to express my full conviction that for general debility of the system, and es pecially Tor Liver Com -far" p'aint, it is a safe and valuable prepara (Vi tion. In some eases it may fail; bnt usual-i- a ly, I doubt not, it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above causes. Yours, very respectfully, J H. KENNARD, Eigth, below Coates Street.

We have no dispo sition to make any comment, says the j Baltimore Episcopal Methodist , and j lay it before our readers as we find it, asking them only to remember that it is an extract from a published sermon j | by tiie leader of New England Metho ! dism, and that Mr. Haven confidently | claims Dr. Eddy as a co-iaborator and Charles St. Church in Baltimore as the chosen scene for the beginning of the great reformation in Maryland; a re formation in which a mulatto complex ion is to be the sigu and seal of the in visible grace. The first part of the ex tract will be read with disgust; the last paragraph with horror; THE REV. GILBERT IIA VEN'B HKKMON. I We promised in our last to give a fuller specimen front the sermon of j the editor of Eion's Herald that was j contained in our first extract. We do this injustice to Mr. Haven, inasmuch I as we characterized the entire passage as "wild aud foolish talk "We shall be attracted to this hue ; j because it is one of God's creatures, j ! and a beautiful one too; because, chief- ; ly, we have most wickedly loathed and scorned it. He will have his re- j venge, and will yet compel us to dis- I tern the loveliness of this most abhor red virtue, and to become enamored of , it. The song of songs may have a more literal fulfilment than it has ever confessedly had in America; and the illegal but divinely implanted ad miration of Southern Solomons for black but comely maidens be proudly ; acknowledged and honorably gratified in the life of Northern and Southern gentlemen, "But this law rests on no mere quip I of the fancy, nor is it a rebound of a j vehement passion, as wrongfully right ; as it had been wrongfully wrong. It ' is the grand under tone of all marriage. ! It is the Creator's mode of compelling the race to overleap the narrow ; boundaries of families and tribes, into white blood, so called, invariably de- ! generates. 'Not like witb like, be lika with difference, is the law of marriage. The light cotn plexioned turn to the dark, and the 1 dark to the light, as day to night and night to day. The tall seek the short aud the short the tall; the same the large and the large the small. Oppos ite temperaments also thus incline to each other. Bishop Mort is says that he can select husbands and their wives in a large company by this law of like | and difference. * * * * * j Dr. Holmes's ten-lovers dangling in j silken noose 011 the fatal trap of Cupid, j being asked the color of the eyes that caused their ruin : 'And'ten accused the "darker hue.' " The last five of these victims were tin- j doubtedly blue-eyed swains, and the ; first of brown complexion. "By this law only will yellow haired ; Germany and dark-skinned France be- j come one, Only thus will the metlite-| val feud between light-eyed England and dark-eyed Ireland come loan end. Let their youths follow their instincts, and the differences that now seem bar- j riers of eternity will become magnets | of eternity. Thus, too, will our divj- | dings cease. The lightest and darkest I of the children of Adam and Noah are i divinely planted together in this land that they may, by obeying this law : which God has planted, work out the' perfect oneness of the race of man. "Already, too, our romancers and 1 poets, the imaginative foreflyers of the ; slower-footed fact, are putting this ' strange future into their fascinating ! tales, and all the greedy crowd of nov el-readers are finding their richest morsels flavored with this celestial | truth. The stage makes an octoroon a ( heroine, and wins thousauds to the ad- , miration of a color on tho boards which they still falsely profess to detest in the parlor. Mrs. Child, in her 'Romance of the Republic,' gives a vivid portrai- ! ture of the wrongs and rights of this married life and love, in conflict with i tho curse of caste. Anna Dickinson ; waxes yet bolder, and, in her 'What Answer?' shows how inevitable, how ! beautiful is this true affection, despite, nay, including this different.) of color, j And the hour is not far otf when the ! white-hued husband shall boast of the j dusky beauty of bis wife, and the ' Caucasian wife shall admire the sun- i kissed countenance of her husband as i j deeply and as unconscious of the pres- : ent ruling abhorrence as is his admira | tion of her lighter tint. Desdetuona was as deeply fascinated by Othello's visage as was he by Desdemona's,— That hour i* not coming—it already is. Not a few of these marriages' which God has made, and whose validity man, in a few instances, has reluctant ly acknowledged, are already tilling homes with happiness, and both pro phesying and leading the way to the future unity and blessedness of A merica. Amalgamation Is God's word, declaring the oneness of man, and or daining its universal recognition.— Who art thou that tightest against God ?" The passage in which reference is made to the "complexion of our Lord," is the following: "But equality at tHo polls is not tho only work laid upon the coming government. There must he such a disposition of its patronage, such a steadfast expression of Its con viction, such an employment of its in fluence, as will tend to the abolition ofthe whole mass of prejudice that still defies the national heart. I am aware that this evil cannot be utterly abolished by any enactments. The leprosy lies deep within. It dwells in our churches, in our souls, iu our ed ucation, in society. It still makes us look at a face with repulsion which is ! the very complexion ofthe mother of of our Lord—nay, of the Lord himself, *Th words omitted are too Indecent for us to copy, —Epis. MttJiodist, NO BEAUX ANYWHERE. No beaux! Absolutely no beaux! Well young ladies, stop and consider, if, after all, you yourself have not pro nounced the sentence of banishment. "We? We banish them? Good gracious! Is ;t not for them we have de vised ail this elaboration of adorn ment? We, indeed! Were we not for weeks, before we came to these j odious mountains, where men are as ' S(> arce as French iiair dressers, closeted with our dressmarkers and milliners to produce these bewitching 'suits,' , long and short, for morning aud eve ning, out-door and in-door wear? I lave we not cool dresses and warm dresses; dresses for rain, dresses for sunshine, dresses for neutral weather, with ribbons, gloves, sashes, parasols, hats and fans to 'match,' to the ini nuest shade? For whom should we I • take ail that trouble but for the beaux ? j And how are we responsible fur their disgusting absence ?" Listen, my dears, for in that which you have just said lies your offence. Can damsels thus arrayed walk in the woods, climb the mountaius (except in poetry?) Can they take even an or dinary, mild walk, without mortal terror of periling their millinery?— Must they not, therefore, "ride," mor ning, afternoon and evening, every where, to the delectation of the stable keepers, and the consequent pecuniary depletion of the "beaux?" These beaux, whose fathers may be rich, but whose sons have yet to fill their in dividual coffers; these beaux, who have just so much to expend when they get away from a summer holiday, and who do not desire to pour it all into the pockets of the stable-keepers; these beaux, who can get vastly more fun oat of their purses, and make them last longer, with a party of "the fel lows"—this is the reason that, with rare exceptions, you have to throw away these ravishing toilettes on your own sex, when you play croquet, or sit on the piazza, dreaming of the "com ing man." My dears, he won't come! He knows too much. He has seen his sister's millinery and mantua-maker bills, aud heard the family discussion thereon ; and though he acknowledges your fascinations even through all the absurd toggery you are doomed by fashion's slavery to have and to wear, lie lias yet to make the fortune to en able him to foot his angel's bills. So be runs away from you, discreetly; runs off fishing, or gunning with the fellows, ant], wiser than you, conies home brown, hale and hearty for the ; winter months, instead of perspiring at joui side in tight boots and yellow kids, IVv vn.. ® my dear, if you have been ushered in to the world in coach and six, till your feet and hands have become paralyzed for want of use, that is your misfortune, and your fault. Because that necessi tates a rich husband. And as there are very few rich young husbands, you will have to bid good bye to your girlish ideal, and marry the bold-head ed, gouty Mr. Smith, who was born at the same time as your own father. This, my dears, you will have to do, or face your nightmare, single blessed ness. I have looked at you playing cro quet, without a coat-tail among you ; : i have seen you driving yourself out in ■ your pretty little phaetons; and j thought you put a brave face on it. 1 knew very well what is going on under : that gay little sash of yours; and I j think it is a pitty that you should J have been brought up to many artifi-1 cial wants, that your heart must go ; hungry in life's spring-time because of them. My dears I never lacked beaux at your age. But a walk in the woods, or in the city either, involved no expense to my beaux. I could climb a fence, where there was no gate, or where there was either ; I was not afraid of dew or rain because my dress was sim ple. My gifts were not diamonds, ; but flowers, or books. My mother j would not have allowed me to ride with gentlemen, had they asked.— When they came to spend the evening 1 our tray of refreshments did not in : volve a "French cook." So you see my dear, though I had no I silk dresses, I had plenty of beaux, and a gay heart; and I enjoyed a sail with ! an old sun-bonnet over my curls, or a j moonlight ramble with a merry party, much better than you do "the Ger man;" and half an hour was sufficient warning for me to "dress" for any kind of party—in doors or out—be cause, unlike you, I was not bothered to choose from twenty dresses which to wear ; an : 1 will give you leave to ask of my beaux, who are now granfathers if 1 was not able at that timo to settle their accounts! And it is because I had such a good time that I feel vexed that your youth and prettiness should so often go a-begging—through no fault of yours; and you may show this to your mothers, and tell them I say so. Sometimes a girl says no to an offer, when it is as plain as the nose on her face that she means yes. The best way to judge whether she is in earnest or not, is to look straight into her eyes and never mind her noes. An Irishman who was asked to fur nish proof of his m.trrige, took oIF his ; hat and exhibited a scar on his head, j "Here" said he, "Is my marriage cer tificate. That's Judy's mark." A man who was shooting "for fun" in Colorado, recently shot an indivdu al who he says, unfortunately popped his head round a corner and struck tho bullet. When is a woman called an old maid? When she's a virgin (verging) i near forty. VOL. 64.—WHOLE No. 5,484 IIOI'SE AX It I'Alt.H | The culture of Trees.-The recent re port of 'he U. S. Agricultural Depart ment contains a valuable essay, contri buted by J. M. Edmunds, late Commis sioner of the Land Office. Great evils i will result to the country, it is predic i unless the axe of the woodman is i restrained. It is asserted that, except in the mountain regions, nearly the entire surface from the Atlantic to the Mississippi has been despoiled of its primeval forest growth, and that no j where have flat arable lands been al lowed to reproduce the forest growth. Fhree-fourths of the original store of timber, it is believed, have already been consumed. The untimbered sur i face of the plains between the Missis i sippi and the Pacific amounts to four teen hundrod thousand sou are miles, and it is asserted that, by a little arti ficial effort, forests may be gradually extended over this large area. Expe riments thus lar made have proved successful. Trees to the number of millions have been produced from the seed to almost every forest species by the unaided efforts of a single associa tion in Nebraska. Prepared Seasoning.— A writer on cookery gives the following recipe for preparing a delicious seasoning. Place in a paper bag one-quarter of an ounce of thyme, one-quarter ounce of bay leaf, one-eight ounce of majoram, and one-eighth ounce rosemary; put the bag into a moderately heated oven, till the herbs are dry ; then mix them in a mortar with half an ounce of nutmegs, half an ounce of cloves, a quarter of an ounce of pepper, one eighth of an ounce of ceyenne pepper, pound the whole and press through a hair seive. Keep this mixture in a dry, well-corked bot tle. These spices are to be used either alone or with salt added ; the propor tion for mixing with salt is one ounce of the mixture to four ounces of fine salt. Oue ounce of the spiced salt is sufficient to season three pounds of forcemeat. Some } ears since a wild-goose was shot in Washington Territory, and a few grains of wheat were taken from his craw. Being very large and full, they were preserved and planted. The yield was found so great as to lead to its propagation, until this variety which is known in the territory as the "Goose wheat," has become a standard one in that section of the country. Samples of this wheat were recently sent to the Agricultural Departmental Washington. Upon examining the samples at the Museum, of which there are some 2,000 varieties, the same wheat was found, being one of the sam ples sent from the Paris Exposition, —-As the weather grows warm er, look out for ticks, scab, and lice. We have great faith in corbolic soap, and this may be applied without fear of injury to the animals. The wool should be parted, and the solution squirted in from a bottle with a quill in the cork, or poured from an oil can with a small nozzle. If ewes yean early have a care that the iambs do not get chilled; visit the pens frequently.— Chilled lambs, apparautly past succor, may often be revived by bringing to the fire, giving warm baths, followed by friction with dry cloths, and a lit tle mild milk punch. A Maine man gives his method of treating balky horses: "Let me in form humane men and hostlers, and all who hold the rein, that the way to cure balky horses is to take them from the carriage, and whirl them rapidly round till they are giddy. It requires two men to accomplish this—one at the horse's tail. Don't let him step | out. Hold him to the smallest possi | ble circle. One dose will often cure ; him ; two doses generally will; three doses are final with the worst horse ' that ever refused to stir." Breeding Animals must be well fed. I A quart or two of oil meal daily, or an ! equivalent of rye bran mixed, is good. If loots are plenty, cut up and feed four ! to eight quarts a day with the meal; if j not, save them until just before calv i ing, and after that, to be used until i grass comes, or the rye for soiling is fit i to cut. I Mares should be treated in very much the same way ; a few carrots are an excellent addition to the diet, and roots and oil cake may be fed freely if care be taken that they do not induce too great laxuess of the bowels; consti ; patiou is to be always guarded against I in animals approaching partuition. The disease known as glanders con sists essentially of ulceration of the car tilages of the nose, distinctly develop ed. There is scareoely a chance of re covery when once fully seated, and, as the disease is contagious, there is lit ; tie inducement to keep the animal. Red Ants.— Wash and wipe thorough ly your safes, cupboards, &c.; then sprin kle on salt, and rub it well into the wood, not neglecting the cracks and crevices. This application, properly applied, will relieve you of their an noyance. Cows. —Prepare roomy, loose boxes for cows to calve in, and litter them well. The cows may be kept tied un ! til the time actually comes, when it is I best to give them the freedom of the ; box. To Restore -WE—When milk has become turned by heat, it can be made sweet again and perfectly restored l>y mixing with it a small quantity of carbonate of magnesia. To soften hard water. —Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of quick lime in nine quarts of water, and stir this well into a barrel of hard water, and let it stand twenty-four hours. forest leaves make an excellent mulch, and when rotted an excellent manure. Good fences pay better than the law suits with neighbors.
