The Rebellion In the Chinese Empire
Slaughter OF the Solalsrs.
from The Friend OF CHINA, Nov IL
One of the chiefs Of the rebel army, F0ng wing
can, man Of great skill and wisdom, and well
yefsed la astronomy and geography 10 a native of
the ia district OF the Canton provinse. In order
to rjure him in the most severe manner, the Cover
nor General directed the appointment of q commits.
sion to proceed to his native village, and there
destroy the tomhs Of his ancestry, which was duly
effected, and the 10th ult the grave. dssecratng
body returned to Canton, bearing with them the
wife and two sons of the said Fong- w!nRsan 1t
was reported in Canton, when they were brought
IN, that it was lien teas family who had been
captured; but Ten ten has been q member Of so
Dsny clans, that we arc disposed to think the
great body of the rebels are in ignorance who thu
holder Of the designation really u.s. Perhaps Ten.
ten, "Heaven's virtue" applies to a cabal and when
they have succeeded in their designs the strongest
OF the body will take the throne. Tien teh has at
various times been member Of the clan Cheaag,
OF the clan Chun, Of the clan LIE, of the clan F0ng,
and Of several other clans.
The Imperial Commissioner, Chau tien .tsioh, in
q memorial to the throne, describes the leader of
the rebels as a member of the FoDg family-ergo,
the Individual now mentioned
The editor Of the Chinese Repository, in speaking
Of Tien-te in his last number, says:-
Persons apparently well informed say that no fair in
bi. his soldier, from rapne and leviss
than the legal deDands OF the Usual rulers. He
has coined mepey instituted literary exsmna ion, AMI
appointed hs ak boards but with this hardly
ASCERTAIN where Lie headquarters are; they most
likely however, to be still In K~eiping district.
One of our Chinese correspondence tells of a sac-
cessf full attack made by boay of 5000 rebels on
the chief city OF the Wing on department in the
province Of Kwangse. Two three hundred of
the Insurgents, dressed respe ctably, and protesting
to DO tracers, had entered the city various times,
and were ready TO 90 operate with the main body
when they ma 80 the assault which occurred on the
23d ult. The Imperial troops, stationed in great
numbers in the city, suffered severe loss The fol
lowing casualties are reported:-killed the governor,
copains. graduate, and nearly 900 sotaius Inc
whole contents of the governme treasury fell into
the hands Of the bells, who allowed the prisoners in
the gaols general delivery.
The whOia OF the rich families in the neighbor.
hood were also laid under a smart contribution.
We have received letter from a cotton ner
chant OF kwapg-si, stating that eight bands OF
rebels, each Of from 1850 to l0, 900 have riser
in the departments of Manning and Seeking, and
among the districts of ChokoDg, Vow kong, aud
Sc lum, on the northwest of kwang-se. In conse-
qrence Of which all the inhabitants and merchants
Of those places ere in great distress The treasurer
has headed an army OF more than 10, 900 mon, a1d
proceeded there, and has also given orders to the
Ulcers there to gather some 80 600 men moro from
the people, to guard the place. In consequence of
these arrangements, the people have begun to re-
cover little from their fright.
There also four five bands Of rebels in the
northeast of kwang-se, in the department OF NS-
chou, plunderng every place they came to, SO that
the poorer people of the towns obliged to take
their sons and daughters and make their escape in
different directions The rebels have not only
plundered the towns Of Kum-long-tou. Lou-kung-
them on fire also. The people have no hope of
their lives, and many good men are compelled to
become rebels.
The rebels are increasing daily The (Tartar)
zeal has att chill Epn win nvl
how to get money. In future, the merchants must
not carry any more trade to this province.
We have heard that, on the 9th day OF the
eighth menth, the (Tartar) general ordered his
chief guard (Shanying) to 90 across the hWal
river, with 5000 troops to the department OF So
yum, to subdue the rebels; but whom he had pro.
ceeded little way, the rebels sent quantity OF
ere RATS down the current against their ships, so
that he was obliged to cast anchor by the river
side. Unexpectedly, however, the rebels rose from
their smbusoade, and made an attack upon them;
and tho crews, being unable to resist, attempted
immediate flight, so that great numbers were
drowned in the river The chief officer (Siug yng)
has succeeded in making his escape. All the flags,
ammunition, provisions, and treasure Of the army,
were lost. This news we learned from messenger
OF Ta.tong, Of Kwang 50, who came to Canton with
documents.
On the 25h ut, four vessels that left Canton
four day previously with provisions and money
for the imperial troops stationed the borders OF
Kwsrg 81 just as they reached the Wong. chunsa
river IN the department. Senling, were captured by
the rebels, who killed several Of the crew, and
wounded the commander After taking possession
OF the apece viz 200, COO strings Of copper cash,
snd 100000 taes sycee silvsrtne vessels we're set
on fire, ard burnt TO the waters edge Governor
Yeh has determined that the sum lost shall be made
up by the people of the district where the plumber
was Effected
From the same paper, Nov Is
A messenger from the capital to Canton states,
that when the Emperer saw the documents OF tho
General Kineeug, Of the last month, enumerating
the loss Of the treasure Of Kwangse, (Which amount
was over zoo coo taes Of slver) and also lite loss Of
more than 100 officers and rs 600 s0tfiers, he got so
angry that lie vomi,ed blood, ard tia. no is in
rtste Of sickness unable to attend to tho court:
We think we shall hear some oTs OF the general
