HORRORS PERFORATED AT MAMMA

HORRORS PERFORATED AT MAMMA
letter from Canton, China, speaking of
the capture of Nankin by the rebels says:
"Of the Tartar garrison, more than
10000, including the families of the SOL
diers, women and children, were either
put to the sword or committed suicide, it
being point of honor with that singular
people to perish rather than to Yield
Every one of the priests, whether of the
Buddhist or TaOnist religion, and who
were very numerous there, were massa-
cred. Their numbers could not have
been less than 500 or 1000: while those
killed in tie assault, the mining of the
walls, and the entry of the rebels, are
said to amount to over 10000 men,
very many families were completely an
initiated by suicide. The street were so
blocked up with deal bodies, tl.at, in
passing from point to point, the cor
querOrs burst open doors Of houses, pri-
vate as well as public. and threw them
inside, as the Chinese expressed it, as if
they had been logs of wood"

Too Lazy to Walk.

Judging from the large number of om-
nibusses and railway cars that run to and
fro across the city, and also to remote
districts, it must be inferred that vast
multitude of people ride in them, or such
things would not pay. And multitude
of people do patronize those public vehi-
cles, which, as general thing, are always
we'll filled. Whether the day IS inclem.
ent, or clear and pleasant, the desire of
those who have to ego and come" seems
to be to ride, and not to walk. The rich,
the poor, the proud and the humble, all ride
in theomnibusses andcars. matterhow
poor some may be, they will ride rather
than walk, even though their last sixpence
goes to pay the demanded fare And what
makes it still worse, not few of these ev-
erlaSting riders whose small means and
limited income forbid such expenditure,
are persons sadly in need of exercise
How many are seated all day long at the
desk, or attending to other sedentary la
bors, who, for the want of little exer-
else, night and morning, are laying the
foundation of mortal diseases, and who,
living somewhat d" out of town." have no
reasonable excuse for their totalinactiyity.
And yet these very persons out of down
right laziness, refuse even in pleasant
weather, to walk either to or from the
place of their business, in spite of their
poverty and great want of healthful exer-
else.
Certain it is, that everybody has per-
feet right to do as he pleases, but those
fashionable habits Of genteel Incidence
have their consequences. There is very
little danger of hurting ones walking
few miles, if not indisposed by real
inability to stand trihing fatigue.

PLAN FOR CONvERsIoN.--An imposing
scheme has been propounded by Rev.
DIR. Steane, of London, Secretary of the
Evangelical Alliance, for all assault on the
Papacy in Ireland. He proposes that two
thousand gospel sermons shall be preached
IN given district in Ireland, as in the
province of Connaught, or in counties
Galway and Mayo, in the course of few
weeks. To accomplish this, he would
have one hundred evangelical ministers
of different denominations go upon mis-
sionary tour, for single month, to preach
twice upon each Sabbath, and three times
during the week, would make twenty
sermons apiece, or two thousand in all.

Third. The opium traffic viii be put a stop to.
Fourth. China win be fully opened to our commerce,

civilization"
On an extra sheet of the Register" are pub
lshed the three pamphlets of the Insurgents, area-
dy translated by DR.. MEDHURsT. The first, The
Irimetrical Classic" is the first and the gem, rich
ly imbued with the Old and New Testament spirit,
and ngeniously made to introduce the Preterders
as Diyiney commissioned The second, entitled
g Odes for Youth" is much in the style of Confu-
cius below the Christian Scriptures in its pre-
cepts. The third is compilation of successive de-
crees, called forth by the changing circumstances
and emergencies of the army's march and its parts,
therefore, like the successive revelations Of Ma
manned, unguarded by the care of leisure and
a betrayer Of the human weakness of the profssed
prophet.
