The Revolution i'm Chin q.


The following article from the Cincinnati
Nonpareil throws an additional degree Of inter
est around the recent revolutionary movements
in China, and are worthy of an attentive peru
sal.
We find that the difference originated be-
tween the native, aboriginal or Manchoo races.
and the Tartar dynasty which has controlled
the government of the Empire since long be
fore the era of Ghengis Khan. And what has
startled the world more than any other fac,
connected with this strange movement, is the
admission and recognition of christianity, by
er stir is the aston,shment Of the world, to find
the Protestant view of the christians faith and
belief promulgated in the documents emana-
ting from the insurgent camp. We have seen
many suggestions as 10 the sour es from
which the leaders OF this revolutionary move.
ment have obtained their knowledge Of chris.
tian tenets, and learned the teachings of the
gospel ofthe Nazarene. At the outset it was
supposed that the invinciblc ardor, and self
denying devotion Of the Jesuit had sown The
seed now fructifying in the sol! in which for
uncounted centuries has fourished The devo ed
worship of Josh, TIE peculiar features of
whose worship perhaps might more nearl y
coincide with The creed Of many American
reprobates than the great mass of readers might
expect; their offerings consisting of burnt sac
rifces ofPaper- government currency-or more
correctly slglicised, bank paper-but from
sources entitled to the highest credit We are
led 10 infer that this incomprehensibIe move
ment has been effected not by the masse, or
heraldry THE church Of the Vatican, but by
the shrewu, practical and calculating spirit Of
the Yankee, chastened by the lofty heroism, un.
yielding purpose. and benevolent enterprise 0 +
the Puritan.
PErEa PAsKEn, graduate OF New Haven
College, and resident missionary for twenty
years in China. is supposed to be connected
with the rebel forces He has resided in that
country in the double character of missiona-
ry and physician, and we zee in the account
OF AN interview between the British authorities
and the rebel chief, that he mentions having
first heard of Christianity IN the hospital of
Canton, where PETER PARKER resided, and
Practised his double cal ing for many years.
Mr. Parker married niece Of DANIEL WEBSTER,
woman OF remarkable Intelligence and talent,
and has for years been commun icating to- and
receiving instructions from the highest politi-
cal circles of the United States.
This view of the matter throws an addition.
AZ light upon the subject and enhances The in.
terest with which it is surrounded That the
rebel movements were directed by councils su.
perior to hat likely TO be found among the ma
tives Of the country has been evident from the
FIRST, aud now that they have the strongest as.
surances that these counsellors have been edu.
Gated under the practical institutions of our
own country, the assurance of ultimate sue.
cess is placed upon a basis of probability which
the most ardent could not previously have ex
perienced, and it will continue to be watched
with solietude bordering upon certainty in
expectation.
