In the walks Of private life, his unblemished

GUS benevolence; his disintercsted zeal in behalf
of the poor and suffering of every land; his
devotion to the great principles of civil and re-

eW Mr.. Perry, Secretary to the United
States Legation at the Court of Spain, has pre-
ferred certain grave charges against Mr.. Soule,
accusing him of malfeasancc in his course
while at Madrid. The charges state that Soule
acted in bad faith, both to the Government to
which he was sent and to his own Soule has
answered the accusations in very severe
manner, denouncing Perry as a liar and a
traitor. 1t is reported that the President has
removed Perry from Office.

PEACE IN EURoPE.-It is rumored that Mil
lard Fillmore John Tyler and Martin Van Blu
rem have been appointed by President Pierce
Commissioners to negotiate peace, if possible
between the Allied Powers and Russia. The
whole matter is kept secret by the Cabinet
which gives the report only the character of
rumor, and not certain intelligence 1t is said
this movement on the part Of our Government,
has been made at the suggestion of England
and France, who, it seems are getting quite
tired of their hug with the "Polar Bear" In
case the much wished for peace is brought
by the interference of our Government, Eng
land and France have pledged themselves to
use their strongest influence with the Court Of
Spain to effect the sale of Cuba to the United
States at reasonable compensation. We are
afraid this news is too good to be true 1t
would be the very thing we want, but we are
inclined to doubt the truth Of the report

CHiNA.-The war still RACES in China The
last advices report Canton re-taken by the I'm
perialsts; also several other strongholds in
that vicinity have fallen into their hands. The
most bloody scenes were enacted The strug-
gle is one of determination; no mercy is shown
by the victorious party. All who fall into the
hands of the victors are butchered without ex.
ception. BY such d policy the Impcriaists
hope to strike terror into the hearts of the
masses, and frighten out of them all sympathy
with the Revolutionists For three thousand
years the Government of China has stood with
little or no change in its condition The same
race of Kings have swayed tho sceptre over
that vast empire, the first of which was not
far removed from the days of Noah. The
Chinese have been pretty much the same in
character throughout so long series of sener-
ations-neither progressing nor retrogradins
in civilization. Within the last few years the
demon Of revolution so long pcnt up among
them, has been let loose to ravage their quiet
homes and mako desolate their fields. The
cup of their national woes is filed to overflow
ing, and their Government is shaken to its
very centre.
