IoRRoRs OF THE CHINESE WAR.-Dr Parker,
the missionary surgean Of Canton, writes the
following:
China is at present the theatre Of civil war
and revolution, and within the last fortnight all
their horrors have been exhibited very near to
US On the 9TH of July. Eiehshon, town ten
or twelve miles west Of Canton, embracing
nearly million Of people. fell into the power Of
the insurgents. and the imperialists have en-
deavored i'll vain to reeapture it. The smoke
by day and fire by night of burning villages,
have been visible from my TERRACE. On the
18th inst, the first blood was shed on the north
of this city. a few miles distant. if we except
that split by the sword of the exccutoner, the
number of decapitatons daily averaging fifty or
sixty, and for the last ten years fifty thousand !.
To-day there has been q second battle in this
vicinity--sixtv eight Insurgents taken prisoners,
and one hundred slain.
Day before yesterday the insurgents were
victorious, and three hundred imperialists were
killed. 1t is said some of the captiyes to-day
were brought in on poles their hands and feet
being tied like pigs; others were brought in on
the points Of sharp bamboos: some have their
ears cut off: others are ham strung. The panic
i'll the city, as the gates were closed during
these skirmshes and the fight of women and
children, 1t is difficult to portray; and from
hour to hour we know not what may become
the condition Of forei gners But most FORUM
atey ut present there is u naval force--British
and AmericaIl-able to protect US against any
mob. Alas for China.
PUNCTuRING TIE CHEsT.-Dr Morrill, Wyman.
Of Cambridge, presented a valuable report at
the late annual meeting of the Massachusetts,
Medical Society upon the efficacy of paracentesis
of the chest for the withdrawal of collected
fluids within the cavity, He had punctured
the chest eighty-nine times in thirty-six cases,
and had never known any serious or unpleasant
effects arise from it; but on the contrary. cures
Of great relief had almost invariably followed
each operation. The Doctor exhibited a trocar
the twenty-t fifth of an inch in diameter, a canula
and an exhausting pump Of very nice and in
genious construction, such as he makes OF
in this operation, and which have been found
very well adapted to meet the exigences of every
case.

Mr.. DICKINSON UPON THE ADMINISTRATION
The Hon. D. s. Dickinson. one of the most
distinguished of the Democratic party of the
nation, made a speech at Delhi N. Y, on the
10Th ult., from which we take the suhjoined pas
sage We beg the reader, whilst reading it, to
bear in mind that Mr.. Dickinson. until the
meeting of the Democratic national convention
in 1852, was regarded by the Democracy of the
country as the most prominent Of all their can
didates for the Presidency, indeed, at this time,
his name appears at the head of the Bayou Sara
Ledger, as the first choice of its editor, for the
next Presidency.
He said the Freesoil party had usually claim
ed the merit of bringing into power the present
national administration, and, although he had
heretofore disputed the fact, he was rather in
clned on the whole to concede it. In the days
of the Rev. Mr. Whitfield, an intoxicated man
reeled up to him, and said: Il know you, Mr..
Whitfield you are the very man who converted
my SOUL Every likely" said Mr.. W. "you
look much more like my work than that of
Divine grace, And upon reflection, he thought
the Administration looked much more like the
work of Freesoilers than of the National De-
mocratic party.

CANsIBALIsM.-At the meeting Of the Amer
lean Missionary Association, Rev. J. P. Bard
well reported horrible state of things among
the Ojibway tribe Of Indians. According to
his account, the deficiency of salt is so great
among them that the fish, which they can only
catch for short season, cannot be preserved,
and the poor Indians have no other resource
than to turn to eating one another-an occupa-
ton, as he observed by no means favorable to
the triumph of the Christian faith among them.
Within three weeks ride from Meriden, Con-
necticut, all the savage practices and rites of
cannibalism had been witnessed. Common hui
mainly as well as religion call for large sup
ply both of salt and sermons for the miserable
ed-skins. Where is George CONWAY at this
crisis?

THE JAPAN ExpEDITIoN.-A correspondent Of
the New Bedford Mercury, writing from Canton
under date of August 18th, speaking Of the late
Japan treaty, says:
After the conclusion of the treaty and inter-
changes of hospitality the squadron sailed for
Smoda, of the two ports opened to the
citizens of the United States.
\ careful survey of the harbor of Simoda
being made, and most of the stipulations of the
treaty being put in practical operation, the Com
modore sailed for Hakodadi, where he arrived
about the middle of May.
This is one of the most magnificent bays and
harbors in the world, and capable eff holding all
the fleets in the Pacific in security
The Commodore's object in visiting IIakodadi
was the same as at Simoda In addition to the
survey of the harbor however, vessel was sent
to examine "Volcano Bay" another to the island
of Fatssio, which is the penal colony of japan
for political offenders, and another down the
Japan sea to Shanghai.
The mountains in the vicinity of Ifakodadi
abound with bears, deer, and small game, and
the bay furnishes delicious salmon and shell
fish in the greatest abundance.
Hakodadi is the second city III size of the
island of Yesso, and probably the first i'll COM
merce. Junks in great numbers were constantly
arriving and departing whilst the squadron was
there, and at no time were there less than one
hundred at anchor in the port; yet the author
tiles said their numbers were always greatly i'll
creased during the summer months.
On the return of the squadron to Simoda,
the commissioners were already there awaiting
the arrival of the Commodore. The place had
become an imperial city, and the Prince of
Mmaski and the Prince of Suruga been ap-
pointed its governors.
The good feeling which had subsisted be-
tween the Americans and japanese since the
arrival of the squadron seemed to be increased
by a more intimate acquaintance. and the
squadron sailed on the 18th June, with the best
wishes Of the commissioners and Inhabitants,
and expressions of hope of soon seeing them
again in Japan.
Stopping at Loo Choo for a short time, the
Commodore and Regent of the island established
some regulations for the benefit and protection
of American vessels touching at the ports of the
kingdom.
The Squadron left Loo Choo on tie 18th June
and arrived at Hong Kong July 22d.

of his acts and doings, from the time of the
Greek war down to the close Of the last Con-

many particulars, but taken in the whole, it
was very unsatisfactory to most Of his political
friends present. as far as could learn. To me,
it was the most disgusting egotism, and uncan

with illusions to past events, and such Us were

The only portion Of his speech that took any
interest in hearing, was that in relation to his
vote on the Nebraska bill. In his attempt to
justify thatyote he certainly failed most sgnaly,
even in the opinion Of many Of his friends. He
used the same argument he did in the Senate,
and which Judge Douglas SO mercilessly refuted
as to cause him to retreat from the Senate
Chamber, to get out of hearing"
