CONFEDRIT X ROADS, I
June 9,'1866. r
They hed a ruction in the church at
the' Cornerk yesterday, which bid fair
to result in a rending uv the walls uv
our Zion, and, the tea= down .uv the
tgnaple we have reared with so much
care and bey guarded with so much so

• The Food of the 4 Chinese.
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

" 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-
