JAMES PTIELAN.
The Mission to China.

The latest intelligence from China would seem
to indicate the probable overthrow of the present
Tartar dynasty, and the installation of new En-
peror at Nankin, of the ancient Chinese imperial
family. Should this revolution be accomplished,
1t will be the most important event of this centu
ry, and may be fraught with incalculabe benefits
to our country and to the world. 1t is generally
believed that the new dynasty will be more favor
able than its predecessor to foreign trade and in
tercourse; and our increased commerce from the
Atlantic, as we'll as from Oregon and California
on the Pacific, place this country in position for
the development of an immense trade with China
and the neghboring States. The United States
and China are both great powers fronting upon
the Pacific, and their products and manufactures
are admirably calculated for an ammense and
largely beneficial trade and intercourse. We are
the only great nation that consumes tea, the staple
product Of China free of duly; and our cotton
and cotton manufactures, and various other ar
ticles, ought to be freely received in exchange
The present crisis has induced the President to
tender this mission to the Hon. Robert J. Walker
of Mississippi, late Secretary Of the Treasury of
the United States, accompanied by all the neces-
sary powers and authority to accomplish the great
object of this most important trust and Mr..
Walker, we understand, has accepted the mission.
1t is well known that the last Congress placed the
mission to China upon the highest grade known to
our diplomacy. SINCE tnlS acJOn OF congress,
new events have given to the mission still more
commanding character. There is at present no
diplomatic station upon which the public eye, not
only of our country but of all civilized nations
will be more ntently fixed. To this signal inter-
est and importance of the mission alone, we pre-
sumo, it is owing that Mr.. Walker, whose politi-
cal antecedents SO eminently fit him for the work
before him, has abandoned his well known prefer
ence for private life, and undertaken this high and
difficult diplomatic service.
His general views in favor of liberal CONNER
cial policy are well known to the country and to
the world Under the tariff of 1916, our reve-
nue., as well our imports and exports, have been
doubled, and the prosperity of the country is un-
precedented. Whatever opinions may be enter
tanned by the few who still advocate the protective
policy as regards his views in connexion with re-
ciprocal trade with England, there can be none
who will doubt the propriety of his opinions in re-
gard to an enlarged trade and commerce with Chi
ma and the East; and we presume there is no A
merican who will not desire his success in the great
and important mission now intrusted to his care.

RE- The correspondent of the Baltimore San

The mission to China has been offered to Mr.
Robert ]. Walker, who is now in this city. 1t is
not known that he will accept it, but the Govern
ment will be fortunate secure his services at this
juncture. Mr.. Walkers health is said to be quite
restored
Mr.. Leake has declined the appointment of Com
missioner to the Sandwich Islands, and it is said
that General Starkweather, of Ohio, formerly
member of Congress, will have it. Gen S. is now
here. 1t may be recollected thathe made a marked
speech IN the House on the Oregon question, which
was highly complmented by Mr.. J. @. Adams
Mr.. Appleton of Maine, has declined the place
of Secretary of Legation at London

to be sent to France. He was appointed to the
post, but never commissioned. The .'hards' were
too hard for Mr.. Dix, and their influence has final

A strong smell of gun powder comes to us from
Eastern Europe. The result of the movements of
Russia, IS OF much deeper Importance than has
been supposed. If Russia succeeds in this war
it will not be long before she will turn her arms to-
wards France. The Netherlands may soon again
become the battle-ground of Europe
We shall know in due time, whether the alleged
naval preparations by Spain, and the warlike
movements of Santa Anna, look towards hostties
with the United States. 1t is not to be credited
that Spain seek collision with the United
States, and thus the loss of Cuba But it is
possible that, besides making arrangements for
the defence of the island from the fiIlibusers. she
may have put herself in position to obtain troops
from Mexico, and also to cut off our commerce in
in the Gulf upon the occurrence of the next in
vasioD.
The last. advices from Mexico show that the
mixed or Sloo company had been put in formal
possession of the Tehuantepec transit.

Cant. WIN. Barksdale.

The Democratic foater for Congress, Capt VIM.
Barksdale is the subject of so much misrepresen-
ltaton, and such unjust and Liberal criticism, that
we deem it due to him and the party, to give the
substance of one or two interviews we had with
him at jackson, previous to the nominations. 1t
will show how utterly false is the charge, that,
swhile he was the professed friend of Col. Reu-
ben Davis. he connlved at the use made of his
name to defeat Davis Nothing can be more UNI
true than such a statement, as the following re-
hearsal Of facts will show.
When we went to jackson, we apprehended
that there would be much difficulty in satisfying
both wings of our party; and we thought, as both
had been invited and urged to join in the Conven-
ton, the wishes of both should be consulted
With view of learning what would satisfy the
Union men, we awaited ourself Of every opportu-
nifty to elicit the opinions of the Union delegates,
and among them Capt. Barksdales. In our first
interview with him, it seemed that he had formed
no general PLAN but only alluded to his, and the
desire of portion Of the Northern delegates to,
procure the nomination of Col. Davis, saying that
if the other nominations were all right, the Union
men, he thought, would support the ticket. AT
forwards he sought an interview with u.s. and stat
ed that he believed, if the State Rights men would
give the Offices of Secretary of State, Treasurer
and Auditor to Union men, that party would be
satisfied for the State Rights take the Off
CCS Oh OOhtIHOI, AILOIHC| OChCidl anu hOasOl ACi
Congress- if the latter were given to Col. Reuben
Davis. He said he knew that this giving all
the power and influence to the State Rights men,
but that the Union men did not desire office spe-
ciay but were unwilling to be treated with dis
respect. He declared he would support the ticket
if no Union democrat was upon it, but many would
not-and some would not even support it npon the
terms he proposed, but that he did not think they
would be numerous enough to defeat the ticket.
and he did not see how ticket could be formed
otherwise, as the State Rghtsme were determin-
ed to have the office of Governor and he was for
Davis for Congress Some one by, said that his,
(Barksdale's) name had been suggested for float
er. Against this he warmly protested, and stated
distinctly, and over again, that he was no
candidate, but the friend and advocate of Gen.
Davis. We understood him as electioucering d.
rectly for Davis He declared in our presence
more than once, and in manner not to be misunder-
stood, but very emphatic, that he no candid
ate-that he the friend of Col. Davis, and
could not consent to the use of his name in oppo-
stion to that of Col. Davis or words to that eff
feet.
Thus, it will be seen how untrue such charge
is and the papers in the Northern portion of the
State, owe it to the party to make the correction.
