A Half Sheet.

A Half Sheet.
Kind reader, don't open your eyes, and knit
your brows, and heap upon your poor editors
head a whole volley of maledictions, because
he issues a half sheet this week, before you
hear him out. 1t must be an extraordinary case
that makes US knock under, you may well i'm
agine, from our punctuaIity heretofore. But
we are not oak, neither are we granite, either
in mind or body, and are forced to give way at
last to the maladies which time and a long Sc
ries of severe struggles in the battles of life
inevitably engender. We hope, however, that
a few days recreation in the country will re-
store us to that strength and energy which, we
trust, have been exhibited in some degree in
our past career. But not only are we ailing
sickness has likewise got into our family, where
our attention has been demanded.
But. if after this attempt, kind reader, to ex.
cuse ourself for issueing a half sheet (,be first
time it has ever been done except upon a holy.
day. it does not meet your appreciation, we
will give You this sheet extra. Our regular
volume ends with this month, but in conse>
quence of the present issue, we will not allow
it to end till the first week in August.
We hope the above will quite satisfy our nu.
merous readers. When returned to our post,
before our next Issue, we trust that we will do
so with renewed strength Of both the mental
and physical system, and % and end
our seventh volume with a spirit at least equal
to any that has preceded it.

SrRATAeEMs OF THE CHINESE. The
China papers give the following success
full and murderous stratagems and other
curious facts. .e3
One. day last week part ofthe imperial
lists were decoyed into the City Of Shanhea
by the east gate having been purposely
left open, and musician placed in an at
tractive position over the gate, playing on
a kind OF fiddle or guitar: On seeing the
enemy enter the man feigned surprise,
but instantly recovering himself, he said
to them, " Oh come along, the soldiers
have all fled" Tho enemy hearing TINS
rushed forward up the street, when ene Ia
surrents Immediately closed tue g"'GS anu .I
nloccd cannon in 'front.' ard raReo the
Streets so effectually that the imperialists
we're obliged 10 fly into the open houses
and by, streets, where they were instantly
attacked by soldiers and we'll armed men,
who put to death or took prisoners the
whole detachment 1t is supposed that
the twenty -Sve men who were decapitated
on Sunday last were a portion of the
force thus entrapped within the city.
The insurgents, however, are sometimes
equally we'll caught. An old woman.
who kept an opium shop cnticed eighteen
men into an upper room outside the city
wall, and when her victims were Supplied
with the roxious fumes, some armed men
entered and killed the poor wretches thus
cruelty exposed to their attacks.
The papers contain numerous ProelNma-
tons, OF course. One rebel chief COM
mcnces by saying that his troops have,
from the commencement, committed no
robbery or debauchery, and that he has
remittcd the taxes in his district for three
years.
Mr. Reynolds, an Englishman, was cap
tured by the Imperialists when he was
aiding the rebels. They were talking Of
executing him. The British Consul re-
fused to interfere.
The rebels are now acknowledged to
be good Christians by the foreign Protes-
tants in China.

AN lNCGDENT AT TIE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
"a letter from Washington, in the Peters
burg Democrat, says the following Incl
dent occurred at the Navy Department on
the 4thinst.
A young and ACCOMPLISHED lady went to
see the Secretary relative to some suspi-
ciOrs whieh hung over the legality Of the
ccrem ony of her recent marriage with a
Lieutenant in the Naval service. She
states that some months since, she was
conducted 10 house in this city, and there
married to her supposed husband, by a
person ostensibIy an Episcopal clergyman
that rings were exchanged, and that
for short time they lived together, when
he WAS suddenly called off for the Pacific.
Doubts have been raised as to the legali-
ty Of her marriage, and she entcrtains
dark susPisions that an imposition has
been practiced! upon her. Immediately
on hearing the lady's narrative, Secretary
Dobbin, with that energy and upright
ness Of character, for which he is Justly
distinguished, peremptorily ordered the
lieutenant to report, in person to
him, at as early a period as possible :;
declaring with emphasis, that if it did
turn out to be true that he had practicrd
a fraud upon the poor girl, his name should
at once be stricken from the roll Of the
Navy.
