The Chinese,, at Fuhehau, liye On rice, fish anti vegetal: - es.— They never use bread at their meals, as people do in western lands. Wheat flour is used to make various kinds of luncheon and cakes. The most com mon meats are pork, the flesh of the mountain goat, the flesh of the domes ticated buffalo or water-ox, and the•cow, ducks, chickens, geese, and fish from salt and fresh water. There is never any veal nor muttonin the market.— They never salt down beef nor pork.— Fultchan bacon nud hams are celebra ted in Eastern and Southern Asia. It is 'considered a hardship and a mark or excessive poverty to eat potatoes, except as a luncheon. Immense quantities of the s)veet potato are grated into coarse slipsland dried in the Sun, for use as food!"aniong the poor, in case rice cannot be Procured. This dried potato is called potato-rice. Oysters aboun d in the win ter, and are very cheap—the usual price of clear oyster being - between five and six cents per pound. Shrimps, crabs and clams are plentiful. Little wild game can be obtained at any season of the year, In the winter, pheasants in small numbers are brought from the country to sell, having been shot or en trapped upon the hills. The Chinese at -their mealy i usually' have several dishes, of fish, etc., pre pared, besides a large quantity of steam ed or boiled rice put in a vessel by it self:" Each person helps himself to the rice, puttinc , some, by means of a ladle or spoon, into a bowl. The bowl, held in the left hand, is brought near the chin, whence. by use of the chop-*ticks taken between the thumb, fore and mid dle fingers, the rice is shoveled or push ed into the mouth from time to time.— Whenever any vegetables or fish, etc., are desired, a morsel is taken by a dex.- terbus use or the chop-sticks, from the common dish which contains the arti cle, and conveyed. to the mouth. The chop-sticks are not used separately, one in each hand, as many suppose. An earthen spoon is sometimes used to dip out the gravy or liquor from the dish of vegetables or fish, tuft knives and forks are never used at meal times. - The.common beverage of:the Chine.,e is a weak decoction of the black tea.— According to common fame, they never use green tea. At Fulichan, the use of cold water as a drink is regarded by the natives as decidedly unhealthy, and most would prefer thirst for a longtime rather anal drink it, though they might venture to rin-,etheir mouth or wet their lips with water. A drink of hot or warm water would be greatly preferred to a drink of cold .water. The poorest of the poor , Must have their tea, regard ing it, not ,C 1 tuner a luxury a, a neee,- ,ity. They never use milk -nor sugar, but always take it clear, and if conve nient, as hot as - they can drink it. They prepare it, not hy steeping, but by pour ing boiling, or water, which has boiled, upon the tea, letting 'it starnla few' min utes, nsually covered'oi7 , er. It is consid ered essential, on receiving a call from a friend or stranger, to offer •him some hot tea as soon after he enter, as possi ble, and usually he is also invited to smoke a whiff - of tobacco. - Unless the tea lhould be forthcoming,r the host Would be regarded as destitute of good manners and unaccustomed to the usa ges of polite society. alztitat.

My ,Dear Sir :—Understanding that you are anxious to disclose certain pri vate letters of mine, written to you be fore and since you became President by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,. and also that you are troubled with some delicate doubts as: to the exact pro priety of publishing them, I hereby in vite you to print them in one; all of your organs at the national eapital, or through a more ,eouveniept ki!edlum, the club or committee representing, the. JOBBING BEEPARTRENT. The Proprietors have docked the establishment with a large assortment of modern styles JOB AND CARD TYPE AND PAST PRESSES, and are prepared to execute neatly, and promptly POSTERS, HANDBILLS, CIRCULARS, CARDS, BILL_ HEADS, LETTER, READS.

People living at a distance can depend on having their work dorm promptly, and sent back in return mail. Alai - Omcs—Roy's block, Second Floor. NO. 31. " Bread-and-Butter Brigade." These letters were written without the slight est concealment, and without the slight est suspicion that, you were about to be tray the party that had placed you where you are. There is a charming consistency be tween the conscientious promptings that constrained you to separate front that great party and the spirit which now impels you to reveal to thCworld your private relations with tliCtie who still adhere to that organization ; and although the practice is somewhat nov el, it will serve to shed a rich light upon the pages of the historian when he comes to describe your grateful and vir tuous administration. The above let ter, long threatened bY your organs, is at last given to the world ; and I reprint it as well for the purpose of acknowl edging it as for the purpose of making some cortiments upon it. When this letter was written, there was scarcely a - Union Republican in the United States who did not believe that your iestoration policy included impar tial suffrage to the colored race, full guaranties before the return of the reb els, and such a change of the basis of representation as would prevent the murderers of American liberty from re suming their former power. The only real difference between you and the rad icals was whether like rebellion destroy ed the State ollrtiizations or not. I write with the tiles of the =Washington Chronicle before me; and find that two days after the above letter was written, Mr. Trumbull's two bills for " the en largement of - the powers of the Freed men's Bureau," and the other - for the protection of civil rights," were intro duced into the Senate in the full expec tation that they would receive your sanction. It was only when the Cop perhead and traitor organs here and elsewhere began to speak as if by your authority against the Union majorities in Congress, that the suspicion of the treason, subsequently indicated in your veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill, and. your disgusting:2 . 2d of February speech, began to pervade and finally to possess the loyal mind of the country. So fixed was the belief of the Repub lican party that you could under no eir cunistances co-operate with your slan derers and theirs, and so willing were they tonverlook your suspicious indif ference to the coming elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, that at the period when I wrote the above let ter, hundreds of thousands cheerfully recognized you as their political leader, and supposed you intended to stand firmly by the substantial principles of their organization. 3ly own conviction was so strong upon this subject, that I need only refer to the pages of the Chro nicle and the Press to prove how steadi ly I resisted the idea that you were plot ting to betray your friends, and how earnestly I endeavored to convince ti e country that you had no sympathy with the common enny. In all my visits to the Presides al mansion, and they were frequent, it was not until late in January that I began clearly to perceive that you were conspiring with the Cop perheads and traitors. Before that time not a word had ever fallen from yourlips to excite the sus picion that you were preparing to be comg the persecutor of the colored race, or that you were preparing to bring back into full power the red-handed traitors whom you had so bitterly denounced during four long years. But when, with an amazement that I can never forget or faithfully describe, these facts ap peared too plain for doubt, I fearlessly discharged my duty, regardless of,. and fully prepared for, all the consequences. I did not stop to calculate whether in denouncing the dangerous conspiracy of which yon were then proved to be the chief, I was helping or harming the distinguished gentleman in whose be half I wrote the above letter. And now, sir, a word in reference to yo'ar personal affairs. I know right well the difficulty, if not the danger of the position I occupy.. I know that for sternly holding you to your pledges I am assailed and threatened by every COpperhead and traitor between Maine and Mexico ; and I know, also, that stimulated by the passions that have controlled you since you broke away from those pledges, there is nothing that you would not resort to to demoralize the party that elected you, and, ruin those who refuse to follow yon into the ranks of the common enemy. It is not the first time I have been thrown into conflict with a fai th.less.and corrupt Ex ecutive ; but it Is the first time I have ever been- called upon to contemplate and to expose such perfidy as yours. I will not remind you of my earnest and uncalculating, friendship, from the period when you took issue with treason in the Senate, in IS6O, down to the Bal timore Couventiortiu 15f;4, which body, at the request of .the lamented Lincoln and such earnest radicals a Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, I attended alone for the purpose of pressine. your nomina tion for the Vice Presitrency, after it be carne apparent that Hannibal Hamlin, the incorruptible patriot, was willing to ;live way in order to allow a representa tive of the War Democracy a position upon the national ticket. That you should have forgotten these facts, a mounts to nothing in comparison with your heartless ingratitude to the party which placed you in nomination and elected you Vice President. Individual ingratitude and cruelty concern only the person betrayed and injured ; but when, as in your case, the betrayal of the whole country is contemplated, the offence becomes national, and should be accordingly checked and counteracted. There is, however, one part of your experience which deserves to be differ ently considered, especially in view of the new system of revenge you have a dopted, viz: that of publishing the pri vale letters of gentlemen who refuse to sustain your attempt to make loyalty odious and treason honorable. Need I tell you that I allude to the disgraceful 4th of March,lS6s? 117/enyou resolved to desert the brace and benevolent men I who threw over you the cloak of their for giveness and charity that day, you eon sciously or unconsciously prepared far levery succeeding treachery. 14 hen you inbtained your own consent to do that single act of shame, your intrigues with the Copperheads before the fall elections I of 1365, your veto of the Freedmen's Bu reau bill after having almost explicitly promised to sign it, your revolting 2'.2d of February speech, your proscription of the brave white and colored loyalists of the south, and your publication of private letters written to you in unsus pecting confidence, followed naturally and irresistibly. Supposing that any other gentleman could have been guilty as you were guilty on the 4th of March, I 1865, what would such a gentleman have 4. done ? You stood before your own court-
