the Chiilese Government have shown their read
iness to yield to demands upon their treastiry,
and for increased facilities of trade and inter
curse. In 1842. in the ju3tly styled opium war,
the investing of Nankin, thweld capital, though
distant from the present capital nearly 'eight
hundred miles, led them to yield to the dementia
of the English, and the formation of the treaty
of August 29th, 1842, by which their ports were
opened, and they agreed to pay twenty-one mil
lions of indemnity. In 1858 they.had acceded
to the conditions of the revised treaty, after a
comparatively unimportant deinonstration in
taking the Tidal Forte, as they then vitiated.
We are left, as yet, to mere surmise as to what
vas the requirement to which the Chinese OllV
vrnm' ent would not. yield, when it had seen its
boasted defences all carried, and the most formi
dable Western army that ever threatened its
shores encomped within sixty miles of the seat
of the Dragon Court. It appears a Most proba
ble eurtnise that it was .the requirement to an
ltitowledge, that. it. was wrong to resist the attempt
of the Ambassadors of the, Allies to force their
way to Pekin In 18641 to exchange the treaties.
Whatever may have been the demand, which the
Chinese Government determined to risk the nil
'WlC° of the terrible army of the Allies upon the
capital rather than accede to, I have nn hesita
tion in expressing the conviction that when it
comes to be known, the verdict of sober history
will be against it.
The progress of the army thus far has shown
that it was no holiday excursion they have un
dertaken. The distance from Tien-taun to
Pekin is something more than sixty miles. Yet.,
such were the difficulties in securing the means
of transportation and supplies, that on the 21st
of September, or thirteen days after the march
was commenced, they were still eight miles dis
tant, from that, city. On the 18th, they came
upon the entrenched camp of the enemy. The
Tartars showed a force of twenty-five or thirty
thousand, and opened fire upon the Allies.
Their fire was returned, and the Tartar troops
were defeated, with a loss of two thousand killed,
-while not a single man of the Allied forces was
killed, and only some sixteen wounded. The
Tartar troops again appeared, in equal number,
on the 21st, and for a time threatened to sur
round their enemies. But. the terribly destruc
tive artillery and the deadly rifle of Western mili
tary science soon threw them into confusion, and
they retreated again. Every one of right feeling
must admire the bravery that leads these people
to defend the approach to their capitol with such
pertinacity, against such destructive weapons,
and with such disregard of life. Western na
tionsory out against the treachery and cowardice
of the Chinese. But, in the eye of equal justice,
what magnanimity or military prowess is there in
waging war against a foe with such inefficient,
arms I The story that two thousand are killed
on one side, and not a single one killed on the
other, when the number of combatants is some fif
teen thousand to twenty-floe or thirty thousand,
shows that it is but little else than the butchery of
nn unarmed rabble. Impartial history has stigma
tized the war of the Spaniards upon the Mexicans
and Peruvians as a butchery of inoffensive races.
The mine judgment will; no doubt, be pronounc
ed upon the military expeditions in China, of
thou who regard themselves as the representa
tives of a higher civilization.
After the battle of the 18th inst.., the rejoic
ings over the victory were marred in consequence
of Mr. 11, S. Parkes, the captor of the late Can
ton Governor Yeb, nt the taking of that city, in
January, 1858, and Several other civilians, of
Lord Eigin's suite, together with the correspon
dent of the London Times, and one military offi
cer, having been taken prisoners by the Chinese.
In answer to applications for their restoration.
the Chinese offitials had sent Lord Elgin assur
ances of their safety—that they were in Pekin,
and provided for
. according to their rank. Mr.
Parkes had a great desire to get to Pekin. Hie
desire has been gratified, but not in just the way
he would have preferred. The last news from
the army is of the date, 28c1 of September, at
which time the army lay encamped eight miles
from the capital. On that day a flag of truce
had come in with a large supply of provisions
for the Allies, It was stated that commissioners
had been appointed with full powers to accede to
the terms of peace. The Emperor's brother is
stated to be chief commissioner. Further news
is waited, of course, with the mostfeverish anxi
ety. The poeition of the Allies is eminently per
ilous. They are in the midst of a populous
country, eighty Miles from the basis of their ope
rations on the seaboard, dependent upon the
country fdr supplies just at the commencement
of Winter. If the Chinese should let them take
possession of Pekin, what could they do with it.
Had the Chinese a little more knowledge, they
might make this advance on the capital as dims
trous to the Allies as the advance upon Moscow
was to Napoleon. But the general suppoiition
is, that peace will be concluded without any at
tack upon the capital having been made. These.
successive defeats of their boasted Tartar troops
must convince them that they cannot resist their
enemies, and they do not understand the tactics
of wearing them out by delays; neither, indeed,
'does the.oondition of the country admit of their
pursuing that policy at this time. We can only,
wait and see what are the developments of God's
providence. He presides over the destinies of
nations. His plans and purposes are worked
out by men, thqugh they mean it not.
Subsequent to the writing of my last letter, I
found out where the proclamation against Roman
Catholicism, which was published in your iSt3li a of
the 14th of July, and which I said had not Ism
seen in China, came from, and what is its value
as affecting the status of Christianity in the Em
pire. This proclamation was ibeued.by the chief
magistrate of a hien, or Chinese county,lit the
province of Kiangsi, the province which lies next
west of Chikiang province, in which Ningpo is
situated. The -proclamation is composed princi;
pally of the edict which has remained on the
statute book ever since Romanism was banished
from China, in 1726. This is the edict of pro. -
soription, hich was removed by the edict of tol
eration, issued in answer to the memorial of
Keying, of the date, December 28th, 1844. This
proclamation of the former edict by the Magis
trate of a hien, does not in the least affect' the
present regulations, in respect to the toleration,
of Christianity. The question, however, is now
merged in the great question of peace, and the
stability of the Chinese government, OBSERVER.
P. 'ltls by some surmised that the point on
which the Chinese demurred was in regard to
the demand of Si largo part of the indemnity to
he paid at once. It is also said, though not on
official authority; that Kweiiiang asked for a
month's delay, In order to give•tbem time to eon
eider the demands, Neither of these statements
.
appear to me to be very...probable.
[ln our foreign news it will be seen that Pekin
is captured.]

Tha age forty-six.—Thomas Hood died at
the age of forty-six, at the very moment
when he had excited the greatest expecte
tions. There seems to be a fatality at this
period of life for a certain class of intel
lects, nearly as great as that which has
rendered the age of thirty-seven dangerous
to the higher rank of artistic genius—to
Raphael, to Mozart, to Burns, to Byron.
It is the grand climacteric of a soldier's
and the statesman's life. At forty-six Pitt
gave up the ghost, and passsed away in the
piirue of his powers. At forty-six Napo
leon lest the battle of Waterloo, and ended
his career. At forty-six Wellington won
that battle, and may be said almost to have
commenced his civil career. At forty-seven
Nelson's hour had come at Trafalgar. At
the same age the active and brilliant part
of Lord Palmerston's career commenced at
the Foreign Office; Mr. Disraeli exhibited
his peculiarities as a Minister, and Dr.
Arnold, who possed the statesman's type
of intellect wrote in his diary—Fixi. In
literature we 'find that Spenser died at
forty-six, Addison at forty-seven, Gold
smith at forty-six, Hood at forty-six—all
men notable for some peculiarity in. their
way of drawing from "the well of English
undefiled."
The Ludo Times, the &gawky Review,

world in whilici met -df-war have bebn
lowed to rot upon the stooks; and wonders I
why we have not built, or spoken about,

is not at all surprised at the cautious con
duct of the United States. Gevernment, in
view of the fact. that although. Britain built
five craft or, the new plan, one of them has
never been put to sea; and they may all
turn out failures.

that on dividing' the pupils of the Poly

non-smokers, it is shown that the smokers
have proved themselvesin the various com
petetive examinations, far inferior to the
others. Not only in the examinvions on
entering the school are the smokers in a
lower rank, but in the various ordeals they
have to pass through in a year, the average
rank of the smokers had constantly fallen,
and not inconsiderably, when the men who
did not smoke enjoyed a cerebal atmos

Our peaceful city was stirred up to somewhat
of a belligerent spirit., by an order from Wash-'.

one hundred and twenty four cannon, all, or
near all, the large guns on band. Our people
have no, desire to use these guns, and they are
quite unwilling that they should be used by oth

into the hands of threatening belligerents.

The South Carolina Convention
This body was in great hastein declaring the
State absolved from all connexion with the Union,
but, as if alarmed at its own rashness, it is since
studying caution and secresy. It arranged for
the continuance of the Port Collectors and the
Postmasters. This was prudent. Neither re
ceive money enough to pay the expenses of their
department; and by continuing them as United
States officers, their' pay is made up, and the
people enjoy the benefits of the Union, and the
pride of declaring themselves an independent na
tion. The honesty of such a course would not
bear a very close scrutiny.
The Convention also appointed three men to
visit Washington, as representatives of this new
nation, and arrange for a division of the public
property, and especially for the obtaining of the
forts, arsenal, arms, &c. Much of 'the
time of the Convention is being spent in secret
session. The instructions to the Committee sent
to Washington were kept profoundly secret.
Wheeling, Virginia.
George W. Thompson, of this' city, Judge of
the Circuit Court, who voted for Breckinridge at
the late election, has made a masterly address on
the present state of the , country. The general
scope of his argument went to show that we are
a Nationality, and that " Secession is Revolu
tion," and must be preventedot whatever cost.
He closed by stating what we all know of him;
that he had been a leading Democrat in this sec
tion for the last twenty-five years, and that he
had stood with the Deinocratic party shoulder to
shoulder in its support of General Jackson
against Nullification ; that the principles in
volved in the present issue are precisely those
which entered into that controversy. The per
sonal character of Judge Thompson is above re-'
proaoh ; a just and righteous Judge, and such
is his popularity in this section, that his views
will have great weight. His address will create
a great sensation throughout the State, and be
productive of incalculable good. All honor to
the noble hearts who throw themselves in the
breach at this moment of danger. This country
will long remember and honor them.

Mr. Wade, of Ohio, presented what is regarded
as the sentiment of the Republicans. It insisted
on the maintenance of the Constitution and the
laws. Secession must be repressed. If seces
sion, to a great extent should' succeed, the North
would make treaties of alliance, trade, and pro
tection, with Mexico, Central America, and
Spain (for Cuban trade,) and would thus hem in
slavery, and obtain all the equitorial productions
needed, and have adequate outlets for provisions
and manufacturea. -
Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, took strong union
grounds. He would put down secession. Mr.
Lane, of Oregon, advocated secession.
In the House a bill has passed, authorizing

track line by the nearest and best route via'the
vicinity of Salt Lake to San Francisco, or to the
navigable waters of the Sacramento. It also
provides for a road from the Western border of ,
the South•wdstern States, starting from two
points, namely : Fort Smith and the Western
border of Louisiana, with two converging lines
bearing Westward, and uniting with the South
ern Pacific Railroad chartered by Texas.
At the meeting of the Pennsylvania, delega

of the States, the Constitution and the laws of
the United States be maintained and be enforced
in all their integrity.
All of the Ohio Delegation, Senator Wade and
Representative Wade excepted, were present at
their confererice to-night. Though no resolution
was passed, the concurrent sentiment was the
maintenance of the Union and the enforcement
of the laws.
The Senate's committee of thirteen manifest a

We, therefore, the people of South Carolina,
by ourdelegates in Convention assembled, appeal
ing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the
rectitude of our intentions, have solemnly de
clared that the Union heretofore existing between
this State and other States of Nprth America
is dissolved, and that the State of South Carolina
has resumed its position among the nations of the
world, as a free, sovereign, and independent
State, with full power to levy war, conclude
peace, - contract alliances, establish commerce,
and do all other acts and things which indepen

Secession.
Foreign Opinions of Secession.
There are indications that the Secession
movement will receive no great favor in France ;
at least not for some time. The English papers
I have taken up the subject with much interest,
and express their opinions freely. We give a
brief extract from a long and able article in the
London Times, of November 26th.
In electing Mr. Lincoln to the office of Presi
dent the Northern United States lave ventured
on a bold experiment. They have determined to
test the courage and sincerity of the South, to
face unappalled the spectre of secession, and
discover whether it be really a terrible spirit po
tent for evil, or only a bug bear, devised by a
clever faction, inflated with the breath of rho
domontading orators, and dressed out :with a
hideous mask by placemen trembling for their
appointments: The next month or two will
show how far those are in the .right 'who have
calculated on the strength of the American
Union and the supremacy of national feeling
over all sectional interests. Should South Caro
lina, Georgia, and the, adjacent States separate
themselves permanently from the Federation,
constituting themselves a new nation, with their
own army, navy, Customs, foreign representa
tion, and all the appanages of independence,
then the whole series of American politicians will
have been in the wrong, and this journal, which
has always declared such an event to be impos
sible, will have been in the wrong with them.
But if, after an outburst of party passion, the
Southerners 'themselves become sensible of the
wickedness and folly of their course ; if they
recognize how far the ilossessors and expectants
of official places are the movers of the agitation,
and if, moreover, they are calmed by the refec
tion that a President, powerful as he is, can do
little to alter the policy of the Republic, and
nothing at all to subvert the domestic institutions
of the several States, then the result will be such
as we anticipate, and the United States will con
tinue to combine in one Federation two commu
nities, with widely different politics and systems
of social life, but forming essentially and, unal
terably, one and the same people. * * *. *
He (the Governor of Georgia) recommends the
enactment of laws authorizing seizure of thenioney
or property of any citizen of an offending lind
faithless State to indemnify the
.losses' of the
citizens of Georgia. Hostile tariffs aye to be es
tablished against the abolitionists. " The•popula
tion is to he called to arms to support its rights,
and money is to be raised to put the State in a
posture of defense. This is a specimen of the
counsels which are now offered to the Southern
ers by their magistrates, and at first sight they
wonld seem to portend the immediate disruption
of the Republic. But through all this violence
we cannot but think that signs of insincerity ap
pear. The Carolinians and Georgians protest
too much. The flame is too violent, too
sudden to hist long. No doubt much 'sedition
will be talked" and many nets committed which
the Federal Sovernment might be justified in
treating as treasonable ; but when.time has been
given for reflection the Southerners will be re
-. conciled to their fate—which after all, is no hard
one—and common sense will show them the ab
surdity of refusing to accept a constitutional
election because - it has gone against them, and
breaking up a great nation • through the
vain fear that a magistrate of limited powers will
do what no despot would-be able to effect.
* * ** * *
A strong-minded President like Jackson, what
ever his own sympathies, would probably not
hesitate to crush the Carolinians by force. It is
evident, indeed, on the smallest reflection, that
the South, even if united could never oppose for
three months the greatly preponderating strength
of the North. A. few hundred thousand slave
owners, trembling nightly with visions of mur
der and pillage, backed by a dissolute population
of "poor whites," are no match for the hardy
and resolute populations of the Free States. The
Northerners have hitherto treated the South like
a petulent child, and giien in to all its ways;
but if ever the day of conflict were to come,
it would be shown that the South is but, a child
in its weakness as well as its frowardness.
United states Pair—First Premium for Best
Penmanship.
We have jast Seen the official report of the
late National Fair at• Cincinnati, awarding their
First Premium, (a bronze medal,) for best busi
ness penmanship, to Mr.. Wm. IL Miff, of Duff's
College, Pittsburgh.' What say the Queen City
penmen to .this? Our young and talented
townsman had but two pieces in their exhibition,
having kept his master pieces for our own City
Fair,' which awarded him six First- Premiums in
all branches of his art, over his .competitors in
this vicinity. The justice, of :those awards and
the utanimous verdict of our city' press is ,now
fully confirmed by ttpi"judges* of the National
Fair, and this time-honoacd establishment has at
the head of both the writing and book keeping
departments, the acknowledged and accredited
heads of these professions.--Pittsburgh Gazette.

It will be seen by referm;tce to the Prospectus
of The New-York Ledger, which will be found in
another column, that the proprietor of that pop
ular weekly, has secured an array of distin
guished eontrihutors for his paper for the New
Year such as has never been equalled by any
publication in the world. The Ledger is always
characterized by a high moral tone, and has a
circulation -larger than that of any other ten
literary journals in the country.

Liver. Complaint.
The only remedy ever offered to the public
that has never failed to cure, when directions are
followed, is M'Lane's Liver Pill, prepared by
Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh,. Pa. It has been
several years before the public, and bas
been introduced in all sections of the Union.
Where it has been used, it has had die most
triumphant success, and has aetnally , driven out
of use all other medicines. It has been tried
under all the different phases of Hepatis, and
has been found equally efficacious in all:
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
Jr Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, manufactured by
Fleming Bros., .of Pittsburgh, Pa. There are

The EMperor bad granted an. amnesty to the

The position of Italian affairs is unchanged.
Victor Emmanuel had returned to Naples.
The army of Italy is to consist of three hun

Southern divisions.
The Sardinians would await the fall of Gaeta
before summoning the citadel of Messina to

A Vienna letter, in the Times, says it. is morally

THE. NEW-YORK LEDGER.
We intend to make the NEW-YORK LEDGER for 1561
superior to that of 1566, or of any other year in the past.

;UNITED STATES, EDWARD EVERETT, GEORGE BAN

and many Clergymen, Profmors In Colleges, Statesmen,
and other eminent writers residing in different porta of the
Our corps of contributors for the coming year will be so
huge, and will embrace such a variety of : eminent talent; that
every department of literature will receive thenarticular at
tention of seine -one competent to do it ample and special
justice. Whether it be ;popular romance, Scientific essay,
historical sketch, scholastic disquisition, spicy paragraph,
Pathetic ballad. humorous noem, old.fashioned love story,
timely editorial, or any other ingredient of popular and ele
vated journalism, that is to be furnished, the LEDGER corps
will be sufficient for the task. In fact, our contributors will
send us from week to week much more matter- than we can
possibly us 6, so that we shall always have a fresh and super
abundant supply, 'from which to select THE VERY REST.
These facts, taken in connexion with our largely increased
mend, - facilities, and experience, warrant us, we think, in
promising our readers a family paper for the year 1861
which will be more interesting and instructive, and in every
respect more valuable, Mien than the LEDGER has been in
the past.
AR an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER, we
need only state the simple fact that its circulation is larger
than that of any other TEN literary papers in the country.
Its great success is owing to the fact that we secure the best
writers in the country, and spare no expense in getting up
the DEBT YASITLY PAPER—a paper of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation of its contributors,the practical and
invariably pure and healthy character of all its articles, the
care which is taken that not even one offensive - word shall
appear in its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and
Sketches, have gained for the NEW-YORK LEDGER a posi
tion that no literary paper has ever before reached..
ANNA CORA. RrrourlE, of Richmond, Va., and COL.
WALTER B:DONLAF, the anthor of the popular «Forest
Sketches,!! Which were published in our columns some time
since, will each begin a story in the . LEDGER early in the
new year. Mrs. SOUTHWORTH is also engaged upon a
new tale.
In the next number ,of the LEDGER, we shall publish -a
very interesting article; written expressly for our columns,.
entitled, A BAY Will! LORD BYRON, from the pen of the Hon.
GEORGE BANCROFT. ,
It is with much satisfaction that we announce that lir.
EVERETT will continue his elegant and interesting contri
butions to the LEDGER during the next year. •
As this is the season of the year when Postmasters and
others are in the habit of forming clubs, we direct their par
ticular attention to
OUR TERMS-
Single copies, $2 per annum; two copies, $11; four copies,
$O; eight copies, 513.. Postmasters and others who get up
clubs can afterward add single copies at $1.50. The party

six cents in addition to the subscription, to pay the American
postage, which is half a cent a copy , on every paper. The

THE DAN VI LL E QUARTERLY
REVIEW.
It is proposed to establish, at Danville, Kentucky, a new
and original Quarterly Publication. to lie called the DAN-,
VILLE QUARTERLY REVIEW—and to be conducted -by &-
Society of genftemen, of whom a portion ore scone of those
connected with the Presbyterian Institutions at that place,
and a portion * reside elsewhere.
This publication: is designed mainly for the exposition, ad
vancement end defetir of the Christian Religion, considered
in its purely Evabge Mal 'sense; and for open resistance to
whatever is hostile to it.pr. inconsistent with it. In perfect
consistency with that chief design, its pages will beopen to the
oonsideration of all other interests Of num, and the diseussion
of everything that promotes or obstructs dny one of those
interests. The work is projected, anti; willbe. controlled by
persons, all of whom are members of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America, all of whom accept
the Standards of that Church in their obvious sense. „
The work will consist of about 175 pages in each quarterly
number,making about 700 pages to the yearly volume ;
never leafs—more of its income shall justify it. It is &Signed
that its mechanical execution shall be at leastequal to any
similar American publication i and strict punctuality is in- .
tended in the issue of every number. The price will be $3
persannum payable on the receipt of tho first number, with
the usual deduction to clubs. . -
The object of this published Prospectus is to ascertain-pre
cisely, hod at as early a period as possible, whether or not the
projectors of this work are correct in supposing that there is
such a necessity and demand for it, that the public patronage
will be sufficient to cover the actual expenses of it. If (twill
not« the .enterprise will be allowed to drop. If it Will, the
first number will be issued very soon after that fact •is ascer
tained. Every one friendly to the enterprise is therefore re
quested to obtain subscribers, and' forward their names and
address, not later than the end of the current year; but no.
money must be remitted until the first number is received by
the subscriber.
