NINCIPO, 011114 A, Mity 28t,h0 862 Eth." 4 ...0R PAZEBYTERIAN BANNER: Dear Sir—Perhaps your readers might be inter ested in a brief statement of affairs at this port. If you think so, you are at liberty to make mich us?Ais -you may; see fit of the followini facts . I can assure you, that since mrsarrival here we- have been living pretty fast. The first half year or so the French and 'Eng lish did their work up at Pekin, during which time we.had comparative quiet, sub pia, however, to ineipient panics. That Job donei we had comparative, freedom - from suddtto frights' for' six moths; *hen the cry 'a the EA°ls are coming," sounded and reechoed throughout this whole Province, earryin e F with, it the entire population.- A panic in China is indescribably fearful. These continued at intervals until the fall Ningpo, Dec. 9th; 1.861. The Tai-:pings are. a bloody set. Still theythave exhibited a good degree of honor in their dealings with foreigners. They have kept- their promiies better than could have reasonably been expected. They are, however, great tyrants—seem to have very little idea of any punishment, except death. As to destruction, they are well-nigh per. feet in-the art; but have not the least totioh of building ;up. To the keeping of their promises, how ever, there , was one exception, and that exception proved fatal to their interests here. They promised the &reign Powers, previous to their coming to Ningpo, that they would not pass over to the side of the river on which the foreign settlement is located. This promise they kept until the city Wolin their possession, when they so interpreteil the'agreement as to mean that they were no to come over during the tak ing of the dity; > that as the city had fallen into their hands, 'together with the sur rounding country, the North bank of the river, was theirs at a matter of course. The Chiefs, however, consented to refer the matter to 'Naen-king.- The answer came two or three weeks previous to the 20th inst. Previous to giving their-answer; either intentionally or by chance, soma shots were fired over the men-of-war lying in the river between the foreign settlement and the city,. For this the Senior naval officer demanded- and received an apology. The messenger who brought the reply from Naen-king to the foreign. Powers, came into the city, with great, pomp, and in their dis play the Tai-pings again fired over the mei; of-war, and'killed some Chinamen on this side of the river. Three or four days after this the English , and,,Frenoh:received a large reinforcement, so that they had, all: told ) , ars vessels, three of-them gunboats. The " Allies" then de manded of the " Tai-ping Chiefs," that in asmuch as they either could not or wo u ld I not restrain their men from firing across the river, they must take all , the large guns'off the wall which pointed toward the settlement, .a4o}lso those , from the new forts which they were °Obstructing in the Birks of the river, which bore on the' iihipping; that if the firing of, small arms Was,repeated, they would put &shell as near as -possible to the place from which the gutitwas 4red, not as an set of hostility, but by* ,way of punish ing the inOividual offender.. In answer, the Chietal! assured the 44, All ie that the lame guns-and the forts were , not in tended for them, but for the Imperialists who weres , 44pected up the river J. they could nof°fenlove the guns--Ilist they would not ittiiiVetthe first or second:At:lt, but that in case of in Itttiek they wouldlefend themselves; that they had positive. (lidera from Nsen-king to take charge of;.ifie North- bank of the river ; that they did not wish to quarrel with'foreigners, but ifitbeY' (the Allies) sought•a•quarrel, to comd w oii, and it would be seen which was the cock and which was the Sera, The,." Allies" sent a second dispatch, stating hat if the., guns were removed as requested', 'theti" would see to it that' the Imperialists shodl& not ayproneh the:city from this, side Ill:t -out giving` there (the,.relielo 7 itug ticitteem VOL. X.. NQ.' 49. Pittsburgh,.Pa, but that the safety of the foreign commu nity demanded their removal. The remo val of'the guns was given as an teltimattent. It was hautily rejected. A few days after this, Chin-hai, the city at the mouth of the Ningpo river, was taken by the Imperialists. The next day the Senior naval officer of the English forces here sent word "to "the' °hie% that Chin-hai had fallen; that the Imperialists had re-taken the country on the North batik of the river, as high as opposite the city of Ningpo,. add - that i tudy would sue tain the Imperialistsiin'holding the terri tory they had re-taken;. that had they lis toned- to their , former, propositions, they would not have.permitted an attack from this side, but as they had rejected them; -they (the Alies) would not interfere 'to -prevent it; an& that even in their own de fence the Tai-pings must not fire across their ships; that if they did, they in turn would fire into the ' city. The Chiefs thanked the Allies for their information, but assured them•' that they would return the' fire. if attacked from the settlement side; at• whatever risk, and thought 'they .would be able to defend themselves. The attack was arranged for Saturday, 10th of May, at 5 o'clock A. M, but the Imperial war junks did not seem to relish getting into close. quarters, with a strong tide forcing them into immediate contact with their enemies for six hours. They preferred to wait until near , high-water, when, if they got into whet place, they could have a chance to slip away. The at= -tack was made at a little before 10 A. M., by two .Imperial gunboats, which only fired one round each and retired. The Tai pings-returned the fire, some of their shots passing over the bows of H. N:• steam-ship Encountre, anchored opposite to our houses, between us and the city. She immediately opened ' a: broadside , on the batteries' oppo site, and at this signal the other five ves sels soon came into actions A fierce can nonading was kept up until 2 M.; when there was quite a lull, 'while preparations were being made to land a storming party The party landed under _cover of a house near the wall, at about P.. M. Within the city were said to be — tWenty thonsind fighting men. The scalineparty consiated of about one hundred and . fifty English and French, and about as many Chinese: By means of a brass piece,' (12 -pounder,) which accompanied the scaling party, and constant booming from 'the gunboats, the top of the wall opposite' the house was knocked away. From a lookout on the top of the house-the marines'cleared the wall, and the ladders, only fenrin number; being planted, the party, heeded by Capt. Dew, the senior officer, ascended and cleared the wall;' and iii less than two holm the firing ceased' entirely. • The s roUte was coniplete, and the city in tie hands 'of the English and French. On the part of the Allies there were three killed'and about twenty Wounded, three of 'whoni have since died. We remained in our houses during the day. Several cannon halts Whizzed past, and one gingal lit in our yard. None of the missionaries or foreign residents were injured. The native Christians are all safe. lam inclined - to 'thinkAhe bombardment did not take )place any too soon, as the Tai pings more than once had meditated a night attack on the foreign 'Settlement. Had they remained long enough to carry out their deeign, it must haveprovedllisastrous to'life and property on this side. Such is the political) atniosphere in which we have been , living for thelint) sir inontl4, for one did not feel much leis secure during the bombardment than during the last few months. In-the wide-. of - uncertainty 'and'eonten tion we are not'without dneouragement in oiir"liork. In almost - 6bry 'communion some one or more sits , down for the first time at the table of the Lord.

The power of a risen Saviour yet be meg.; nified`throughout Yours truly, 'D. D. GREEN. Ma. EDIToR :—I was' highly pleased with a portion of an article in the Areto-ror,k Observer of July 10th, under the Caption of " NOT YET HUMBLED," and yet I was not at all pleased-with another portion of it.,_ I aur afraid that MS not only too, true' ktiat 'we, as a nation, are "Not ;36 9 t, Humbled," but that it is equally true that we are Not yet educated. I think it is now evident to every one, that; if this, Government of ours which every true and intelligent man loves and desirea - to sustain, is to be preserved—is to overcome and overthrow the rebellion that' is' attempting to divide and destroy it, , the loyal people;' everywhere throughout our land, must stand together as one man, in supporting{ the constituted authorities of our Govern . ment . 'all the measures—not inconsistent with the rules of civilized warfare—deem eknecessary to accomplish this desirable end,:. We must-pray to the God Of-battles for aid—we must acknowledge all our, sins as a•peoplerand in addition, we must use all the means placed within, our reach if we expect to `succeed. . ,Not only ' so, but we must be very careful not to encourage nor comfort our enemy by word or deed---by making him believe that there are real di visions amongst" ourselves=that the Ad ministration has 'not the Cordial support of the Northern people,,; and thAlherefore all the Rebellion has to-do-in order to succeed finally, is to persevere 4° protract the struggle. The - article referred to in the Observer, is well timed and -true, until near the-foot of the first column; and-if the editor had stopped' when 'he 'got through With'the re marks that' "appropriately belonged 'to the heading of the article, he would. hive done his duty ;. but I think , this long eherished love of the " peculiar-institution," led him away from his .dubjeetf tend induced him, unwittingly, perhaps,-to: cripple and weak en the Governuieht.' The objectionable portion of that iditorialii the following.:` "'We have prayed that the war might be speedily closed ) , but we-have .had no faith to-believe that it willhweloaddi so long as it is.,prosecnted With any other object than the - defence the Cot, Motion as it 4, and tbs. : Aston, avit, .. 4 .41- ' .. . 1 - ' . .. . - ( ~.

ZEES For the - Fretsbyterlan BiitnOr. Not Yet Edootted. " With any other design in view, -the War is a horid crime against God and the human'race. If our. rulers or our people have 'lost sight of the first principles on which the nation sprang to arms and are now determining to make the war an in strument of their party purpose's, to do with it what could not be done by the peo ple under the Constitution without it, then let our rulers and our people repent of this their sin-and their folly if they desire the help of God Almighty in this war. "In the solemn pause that now marks the history of 'this bloody year, it is well to lay these teachings to heart. By all the innocent blood that has• been poured out on the battle field, by the dying groans of our children and brethren slain in defence (as they thought,) of the Gbvertlinent of their fathers. New, Mr. .Editor, I - hive several objec= tions to urge against a widely circulated and influential religious newspaper giving utterance to so much unfounded and empty political clap-trap, and. which, when used by partizan politicians, is intended to ininu lead and gull the unthinking so awl° se: cure some political and partizan object. What does the foregeing extract teach ? Why, it asserts about as strongly as can he, that the war has been, and is now, Prosecuted 'for some other purpose than the suppression of the Rebellien and the restoration of the Union. I would like to know from the Observer, or " any other man," when, where, or how the Govern ment or any number of individuals have ever proposed to prosecute the' war for the accomplishment of any other purposethan the suppression of the Rebellion. I am aware there is a difference of opinion as to the means to be used to accomplish the end in view. Rut the Observer - makes the brOadi and almoskunquilified assertion'that such has been the character of means adopted to carry on the war, and says that although he has prayed for a speedy close of the war, he has had no faith to belieVe it will he closed's° long as it - is proieclited with any , other'object than the defence - of the" Constitution as it is and the Union-as it was." If my memory serves me, the Observer, about eighteen months ago, fa vored the Crittenden . Resolution-, which proposed' an attercitionrof the Conetitutinn. If so, how does . it 'name that he, as well-as the lea.ding membere-of a once great 'patty, Who also werl'e favorable -to 'sn•aitetatinienf the Constitution; bit *hose motto' now is, "the Union as it wds.,- and the Constitution as it is,">*dre-now so zealous that =not a let ter of the' Constitution shall be ' touched even to save the spirit'ef it? " With any other design in -view;' the war is a , horrid crime against God and-the hlitrein rice." Now, whitdona. the Observer 'man by . the above? In the' first place he' aatiiiies 6, false premise, and thendraws, as . a matter of course, a wrong conclusion. In other words, he assumes that the Government is prosecnting the war - to abolishslavery, and' then says th.atis a " crimeagainst God an& the human race." Now every sensibleand honest mair certainly knows• that the Gov ernment thus far has been prosecuting the. war so as to do as little harm to slavery as possible, in order to'let the South see that thele wawa() disposition to meddle uri'n'e=' cessarily'with their ".peculiar institution:" In the very face: of this remarkable :eare , which the Government has taken of very 'in all its operations ever since the rebellion broke out,' the Observer tells our own people and the Rebels, too--Lbecause they get to , see all 'these things--that-:we''' have been waging a war against slavery, and hence it is wicked, and God will be against us until we repent of this sin. Thus, he assumes thakwe are trying to ac-' complish by the war, what we. could not under the Constitution 'without it--thatis the destruction of slavery. Again he says, "by' all the innocent blood that haSbeen poured out on the bat tle field, by the + sdying groans "of our , chil dren and• brethren slain in defencu(as , they thought) of the; Government," •&c: Now whath the plain inference which our'soldierg would draw limn the above? Does not the l phrase` included in brae etc; teach' that 'the Government has obtained their services' under Alm pretences=—that they are made the instruments - of carrying out party purposes instead of defending the Government, and therefore they would be morally right in' mutinying and refusing to submit to this perversion of their services. I scarcely think the Observer intends to teach such terrible things, and yet I knoir the extract I have gnoted lute had the ten deney to strengthen - and coinfort those - in our , midst who have - been asserting that thistis an Abolition war, and that the -Gov ernment shall not be sustained by either men or money, until it shall give such evi dence as they demand, that the 'status of Slavery in 'the Government shall renfain the same after therehellion is suppieseed, that it was before. the war began. The • tendency of all such sentiments is to create division among ourselves, and strengthen and encourage 'our -inemiei: If We don't quit. such a- course .the 'war Will he pro tracted---our noble- Goiernment; which is now loaded down by obstacles• and .ditheni ties mountain high, will crumble and : fall to rise no more. I believe it is beyond the poWer of `mortal' man'-to preserve the status ` of Slavery in the Goverement 'as it :Wine beL fore the rebels undertbok'qo. destroy the. Union for the avowed-purpose of extending and perpetuating They destruction' 'of that institution must be credited , to the rebels themselves—altheughlhey meankit italic). The very course , they haie takes tot. perpetuate if, Will -belleei; after this' whole affair istwoutid to have 'been necessary to destroy it.
