The Chinese Rebellion.

The latest intelligence We have from
the Celestial Empire, we find a letter
to the Journal of Commerce, dated Can.
ton, March 10, 1853.
1t has made great head, certainly;
and though it is impossible to say,
among the thousand and one rumours,
what is correct, | believe we are on
the eve Of considerable changes. Last
night story was aloat, said to have
been brought by an express carrier in
eight days, said to have leaked out of
the Ia.mu:, that Nankin had been Ia.
ken. think it extremely probable;
and il true, the whole affair will be de-
cided ere long; for Kishen, ono of the
clevercst men in the .mpire, is in the
vicinity, with host OF Corcans, Moguls,
and Tartars, the best troops in China,
and a collision must ensuc. On the
event Of the battle depends the fate OF
tic throne; Tor suspect the Emperor is
now in the field with all the men he can
raise; ard il defeated now, he must 20
to the wall, AMI if victorious, the nsur.
rcction is crushed.
Ofail the stories connectcl with the
affair, none have been so pcrseverol in
from the commencement as that ASST ign.
ing leadership and influence to foreign.
ers; and there really seem many grounds
for the belief. They are called by many
the "christians,-God worshippers,-
and it is said they observe Sunday
The latest takes this form:
There are four men wearing the Chi.
nese dress, but not speaking the Chi.
ncse language we'll, who are at the
head Of the rebel council OF war, and
without whose sanction no step is ia.
ken. These men are generally suppo.
seI 10 be French Jesuits: and if Catholi-
cism forms an element OF the combina.
ton, the further they so north tho stron.
ger they become, as that religious sect
is more widely diffused in that quarter.
Their success in battle AGAINST the i'm.
perialists and the military skill which
has characterized some Of their move.
mcnts, give additional strength to the
supposition Of foreign aid.
So long as these disturbances con,in.
ue, trade must be more or less affected;
but the success OF the rebels, am in.
clined 10 think, would revolutionize the
wholo policy Of China, foreign and in.
,ernal and we may look for an cxten.
sion Of privileges AMI general com.
mercc.

LATER FROM SANTA FE,
ST.. LOUIS, May l0

ST. LOUIS, May w.
The Santa Fc mail arrived at Indepcn.
dcnce on the 18th, making the Trip in
seventeen days.
Business was very dull in New Mcxi.
co, and everything apparently at a low
ebb. There was a general disposition
manifested by the American residents to
leave.
Much excitement prevailed in regard
to the Pacific Railway, and public scnli.
mcnt had been expressed in favor Of a
route from St. Louis via Walkers Pass.
An association had been formed at San.
ia Fe, which had agreed TO invest one
million dollars in the capital stock Of
the road, provided the main trunk would
pass through New Mexico.
Gen. Lane is spoken Of as a candi.
date for Congress, and one county had
nominated him. He had returned TO
Santa Fe on the 26th ult.-The excite.
ment in regard to the proclamation had
somewhat subsideI.
The correspondence between General
Lane and the Mexican authorities was
kept back from the citizens, but it is re-.
ported that Lane has the advantage in
the controversy.

Family Sitting.

We los, week u''l shed The Ecv. Mr..
Creigh,on's reply to our remerAs upon
church usnscs. Th' SC remGrks were in
ciden;al, yc, We hav, long entertained
similar views. We did not charge that
III, society held on to the usage as
"mcre matter Of conscience, or ofdivine
right bu. s1pi o ed that tho temporal
government Of the church was a matter
Of policy; and consequently advocate
family sitting because we believe the
system in towns both polite nj Visa
Bile. That family sitting should necessa.
rily leal to renting or selling pews we
think an unwarrnntablc conclusion. No
more necessity for reniHg or selling a
pew-.for q man AMI. his wife 10 sit in,
than for two men, or Two woman TO sill
in. 1t is the combining Of these two
questions ,ha, prevents the adoption o!
family sitting. Wc.do no, desire to sec
church...wi,hout free seats. but simply
TO have the privclege Of freedom much
more fully developed than it now is.
We were aware tha, conference changed
tho discipline whenever they deemed ii
advisable. That it laid down as gcncr
al principle, "Let the r,en and woman
.it apalt, and yet by force Of public opin.
ion in many places, that rule bad been
abandoned, ana we believe it ought 10 be
here. However ou: pre,ensions 10 the
olooy are very limited. bu, our desires
for comfort, convenience. and sool
or!cr, arc much more extended.
In the meantime we hope some meas.
ures will be taken TO light up the hall SO
that when we get beyond the limits ot
separation, We may be enabled to find
our own wives, without the necessity o
sssaiiry other peoples in the search
And also to keep cue: few boys who
make a business Of whispering, crowd.
Ing, shifting about, and occasionally ol
quarrellng, while occupying'somc of,hc
back seats in church. Gu, propositions
is to sea, them with Their parents. To say
that such measure is forbidding to the
poor, is to say that ,rs are rich, and
void Of fraternal sympathy for our fel.
lows, which would mako religion very
superficial sarb. We are no; prepar.
ed to adopt such a sentiment.

Tho Wharf.

As yc, we cannot learn ,hn, any,hin.
is being done for the grading and paving
or other improvement Of the wharf,
Soon aGcr the village lots were laid oil
The Ohio Iron and Coal Company TO
whom the land belongs commenced gra'
ling about six hundred feet, in front Of
Iron,on House & Railroad Depot, but
the gra ling has never been completed,
What they intend to do with the wharf
we do no! know, but one ,hig about ii
We do know and that is, that unless
the work ofmprovcment is commenced
upon i; very soon, the people Of this
Town and every stranger Iha! comes here
by s;eamb at will have bed of deep
and soft mortar TO wade through from the
fivcr TO the top Of The bank, jus, as soon
as the fall and winter rains set in and
will so continue until Simmer weather
comes again.
We have been in hopas ,ha, the Town
Council would purchase the wharf from
the lronion House to the upper end o
the corporation, provided it can be dont
OH eqi,ablc terms. The public whar
should be just as public property as an!
other high way. We believe it is th'
general wish oflhc people lha, the whar
should no, only be improved, bu, lha
it should be public property.
