MAsrERl The following extract from the
Charleston Mercury gives my view OF the sub
iect with great and condensed parlicularity
married, Thursday, Goth instant, the Hon.
Gushing Kewang, Secretary Of State OF the
nited States, to Laura, daughter Of Paul Co
ligny, Vice President of the United States,and
one Of our noblest Huguenot families We
learn that this distinguished gentleman, with
his bride, will visit his father, the Emperor
of China at his summer palace, in Tartary,
north of Pekin and return TO the Vice Pres
dents tea Pavilion, on Cooper river, ere the
meeting of Congress.
The editor ofthe Mercury goes on to say:
This marriage in Ugh life is only one of
many which have 81 gnaized that immense e
migration from chrisianlzed China during the
last seventy-fve years whereby. Charleston
has population of 100000, and the State
of South Carolina over 5 900 O0O-an emigra.
ton which has wonderfully harmonized with
the great exodus of the negro race to Aft

Some gentleman here 1cqacst"d to know
OF Dir. Ross the date of the Charleston Mercu-
recording this marriage. The DIR. replied,
the date is 9th May 1858, exactly one hun
dred years from this day. Grea, laughter.
