The gathering of cotton was proceeding
rapidly in the region about Shanghae. The

also occupied much attention during Octo

at Shanghae, remarks: "Alter seeing the

The REBLLloN.-The Pekin Gazette, of
Sept. 80, contains an Imperial Decree an
nouncing the capture, by the rebels, of 8
towns in Hoon-nan. The loss of these
towns the Emperor attributes TO the inca
pacity Of two ministers in that province,
whose names are Sai-shangah and Ching
ken-tsar. The command of the operations
against The rebellious banditii" has since
been committed to Seu Kwang-tsiu, Gov
ernor-General Of the Kwang Provinces
who, having been successful in repeated en-
gagements by land aad water with the reb-
els Of the Kwang, is ordered to lead his vic
torious troops to Hoo-nan, and on combi-
ming his forces with the choice troops now
being assembled there from each province
to make clean sweep Of the "IhieVine
pack" This Governor Seu, who appear
also 10 be the chief dignitary of Canton
previous TO being entrusted with command
Of operations against the rebels, addressed :
memorial TO the Emperor concerning The
Kwang,see insurgents. He describes somt
Of the leaders as members Of the Shang-tt
Kwang, Or Society Of the Deity; which,
he says, " is another branch of the Tien
choo'keauo, or Religion of the Lord o
Heaven. The poison Of these heresies,'
he continues, " has been introduced by th'
barbarians into China, and the people wheT
once infected with them, obstinatel y ant
blindIy adhere to their errors, and ever
look on death as only returning home."
Governor Seu, who gives the strange in
formation quoted above, is described as
sanguinary bigot, of merciless disposition
towards his own countrymen, and full o
hatred against foreigners.

UNPREoEDENTED Hon WATER-Loss
OF PROPERTY, &c. The upper Willamette
river and its tributaries, have never been
known to be as high as they have been for
the last week, and the loss Of property has
undoubtedly been very great we have been
almost entirely cut Of from communication
with any part Of the upper country. Al
Oregon City several buildings have been
washed away, and il is reported that two
saw mills, and Touring mill have also been
destroyed. Linn City has also sustained
considerable injury, by the destruction oI
several buildings. We have noticed fol
several days, timber, roofs of houses, and
other evidences Of destruction floating past
our city. AZ this place the only damage
the food has done thus far, is to the whar YES;
Cofin's, Norton's, and Flanders wharves,
have all sustained considerable damage
the extent however, cannot be ascertained
until the water falls. The upper portion
Of Cofin's wharf has floated away, and is
lodged against Norton's wharf Just below
the loss 10 the owners must be considerable,
and the Inconvenience to the public very
great.
We expect to hear Of great destruction
10 property along the upper Willamette val
ley. This unusual high water is mainly
attributable to the sudden melting of the
late snow, and aided to a considerable ex-
tent by the rain, which has with but little
interruption, continued to fall for about ten
days. In out next issue we hope 10 be
able to give more minutely the particulars
of the effects OF this Aood.-[Oregonian.

CHrNA.-The following extract from Dr..
Gutzlaff's work exhibits the Chinese in
somewhat new light. Thousands arc emf
grating to other countries. California is
thronged with them, and they are, in geo.
eral, peaceful and Industrious people.
Foreigners, who know nothing about
the internal slate Of the country, are apt to
imagine that there reigns lasting peace
Nothing is, however, more erroneous in
surrections Of villages, cities, and districts
are Of frequent occurrence. The relraclO.
~ spirit of the people, the oppression and
embezzelment OF the mandarines, and ether
causes, such as dearth and demagogues, fre-
quently cause an unexpected revolt.
In these cases the destruction Of property
and hostility against the rulers Of the land
- especially il these have been tyrants-
is often carried 10 great exeesses there are
instances of the intUriated mob broillng
their magistrates over a slow FIRE. On the
other hand, the cruelty ofgovemment, when
victorious, knows no bounds the treatmeO
OF political prisoners is really so stockings
to be incredible, il one had not been an eye
witness Of these inhuman deeds.
One of the most common evils is starvs-
ton. The population is very dense the
means of substance are, in ordinary times
frequently not above the demand and it is,
therefore, nothing extraordinary 10 witness,
on the least failure Of the crop, utter wretch
edness and misery. To provide for all the
hungry mouths is impossible and the cruel
policy Of the Randarins carries their. indif-
ference so far as to affirm that hunger is
requisite 10 thin the dense masses Of the
people.
Whenever such a judgment has come
upon the land, and the people are in want
Of the necessaries of life, dreadful disorders
soon arise, and the most powerful Govern
ment would not be able to put down the
rising and robberies which are committed
on the strength Of prevailing misery. There
seems 10 be a total change IN the political
nature Of the inhabitants, and many a pa
tient laborer turns 6ercely upon his rich
neighboT, like a wolf on tiger, to devour
his substance. None can have an idea Of
the anarchy which, on such occasions, ensue,
and the utter demoralization Of the people.
Yet, as soon as relief is afforded and
rich harvest promises fair, the spirit Of or
der again prevails, and outrages arc put
stop 10. The people then combine, arm
and proceed in thousands to
catch mauraudcrs like wild bea1ts. No
mercy is shown on such occasions, and tho
on account Of their weakness,
cannot interfere. Scenes Of this description
very often occurred, without giving rise 10
severe reflection on the character u TaOuk-
wang's administration"

CHINESE REBELLION IN THE HARBoR.-
The bark America, bound 10 Hongking, had
taken on board nearly 100 Chinese psssen-
gers, and was oil ready to sail on Sunday
last. The pilot took command and had Just
given orders TO raise the anchor, when the
Chinese gave a sort Of war whoop and
rushed down below in body. In a twink
ling they came tumbling up, every. man
brandishing knife. They made lively
attack on the officers and crew, who to
avoid being made minec meat of were COM
PEELED to beat hasly rotreat over the sides.
None stood on the order Of going, but they
went quickly. Assistance was soon obtain
ed BY the officers, and they returned, gain
ell possession of the vessel and sent the rob
els ashore. The Chinese, it seems, we're
falsely informed by some one that the sup
ply of provisions and water on board was
insufficient, and hence their revolt. They
have since attached the America TO recover
their passage money.-lSan FraaciscS Her

Business and Publicity.

The New York Tribune, dscoursing
upon the elements Of success in business,
lays down the sound principle that notoTie-
ty is essential to its success, and this pub
licity is best attained through the preSs..-
1t says:
Fortuncs are accumulated in few
years by those who have the intelligence
and tact 10 avail themselves of this power,
grcatefthan men seeking success through
years of unaidod application have hitherto
dreamed of.
I" The vast benefits resulting from syste-
matte and continuous advertising are only
beginning 10 be understood 1t is not pre-
tended that all must, as a means Of course,
acquire wealth by such means but it has
been demonstrated that the merchant who
hasa well-selected stock and deals uprightly;
the manufacturer whose goods are as cheap,
quality considered, as any in market or the
mechanic who is skilful and punctual, may
increase his business at pleasure, in proper
tion 10 the energy and means he employs in
gaining publicity.
"Then why do not all advertise! Be
cause business men are only beginning to
realize its importance. Sill, the amoOnt of
advertising seen in the columns Of the jour
nails has doubled within FIVE years, and will
double again in five more. Those who still
hang back will see their younger and ener-
getic rivals oui,stipping them. There is no
use in contending against the spirit Of the
age. If they won't jump into The cars and
pay their fare, they must be lefi behind to
