The journals, itappears, are not able to oh.

rebellion. Various rumors are constantly
af1oat, few Of which reach the public column,
and are adverted to as follows:
week ago we were informed that four.
fifths OF The Rebels had moved from Kwang-si.
and made an lncursion into Hu nau, where
they had captured the city of Chun chow, and
after slaughter Of three days and three nights
killed $4,000 people, men, women and children.
Though the news came to us through credi.
Bile medium, experience has made US somewhat
slow in adopting rumors about the rebellion,
however apparently we'll authenticated
most nothing positively known on the subject
since il attracted foreign attention.
The duration and extent Of the slaughter
smacked OF native indefnteness. But on sub.
sequent inquiry, we were told il is generally
believed by such of the Chinese in Canton as
