BY JOHN G.. SAKE.
Dear Charles, be persuaded to we'd
For sensible fellow like you
It's high time to think Of bed
And mufins and coffee for two
So have done with your doubt aud delaying
With soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying
lis singular you should be single
Don't say you haven't got time
That business demands your attention
There's not the least reason nor rhyme
In the wisest excuse you can mention.
Don't tell me about "oiher fish,
Your duty is done when you buy EN-
And you never will relish the dish,
Unless you've woman to fry em.
Don't listen to qucrulous stories
BY desperate damsels related,
Who sneer at connubial glories,
Because they've known couples mismated
Such people, if they had their pleasure,
Because silly bargains are made,
Would deem it rational measure,
To lay an embargo on trade.

News from China.

News has been received ut San Francisco
twenty-five days later from China. In this
age Of steam this is large interval, and
has been filed with stirring events in the
Flowery Kingdom. The following is an in
teresting account of the operations before
Canton, between the rebel and Imperialist
forces, and though long, will we'll repay a
perusal:
The rcpulsion of the rebel hands from
the immediate neighborhood of the city of
Canton which was reported in our last
Overland issue, has been followed by the
Imperial forces meeting with some severe
reverses in the vicinity Of Fat-shan, to
recapturc which city considerable expe-
dition had been fitted out from Canton. -
From what can be learned their discomft-
ure arose in this manner: 1t was the opin-
ion of Mlnqua that an attack on the city
would likely be more successful were it
made to appear to the rebels that the In
perialists were assisted by foreigners. lie
therefore hired three lorchas to proceed
with the expedition, and had the chinese
sailors dressed up in European costume,
but this scheme proved an entire failure,
perhaps by It's not being liked BY the Man
darins in command On the arrival OF
the expedition off Fatshan, several Of
Minqua's men deserted to the rebel force,
and reporting their condition, an attack
upon them and the vessels near was at
once proposed and carried into effect
The report Of an attack upon the squad
ron soon brought to the cars of the soldiers
who were already on shore, engaged with
the rebels at some distance from the ships
They Immediately returned, hoping to
ward of the attack, panic and confusion
soon occurred, which finally led to the
disaster of the destruction Of about forty
ty vessels, large and small, ard the
loss Of from 600 to 700 mn. Many
were drowned in their attempts to reach
the ycssels-the water being low at the
time and boats being scarce. Others were
killed on the shore fighting with rebels
who, seeing their discontinue, attacked
them in the rear; others have deserted, sc
that the entire loss on the Government
side has been greater than on any previous
occasion The Mandarin in command OF
the force has been degraded, and new
man put in his place He has been open
ly censured for Encouragement, and was
threatened for sometime with the loss of
his head for his culpabiity. Some who
were present say that the panic and con-
fusion was so great, that the Government
ships were firing on their own men, and
that there was no distinguishing friend
from foe The remaining ships, number
ing above 1870, returned to Canton soon
after, and not soldier OF ship was left
at Fatshan. They have since, however,
nearly all returned to the neighborhood of
Fatshan, and have commenced fighting
again with some success. 1t is doubtful
how Or when this new campaign will end.
In Europe pitched battle decides not
only the day, but at times the campaigne
but shirmishing from day to day is the or
der Of Chinese warfare and it is only
from diminution Of numbers, or want 0.

There's magic in pretty foot,
And well the ladies know it -
And she who has pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;
At times, too, you are martyred by
The incest little ancle,
That shoots an arrow through the eye,
Within your heart to rankle.
ofcourse you turn your gaze aside,
And all your bushes stife,
For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised trihe.
But should you think she might perehanc
Have on loosened gaitcr,
Your fingers itch to play the part
Of honest lady's waiter.
Though tantalized till he is crazed-
Stark mad with wild romancing,
That witchiug foot along his brain
A Thousand waltzes dancing
The while it merrily, lightly pats,
As thoughtless she may move it
No modest man would dare to dream
There was leg above it.
But when it tri ps across the street,
Though winds, and mud, aud vapor,
by sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
Aud as it steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to mingle
Two roguish eyes ;ook up and say,
Il wonder if he's sin GLE !"

physicians of our city are bestowing their
utmost attention upon the unfortunate
victims.
The appearance of the hospital is tru-

the wounded, and in every conceivable
state of suffering. Their wounds, how
ever, are being skillfully dressed.
1t is impossible to get at an accurate
account of the lost, but from sources con-
sidered to be reliable, there is every reason
to suppose that at least fifty have been
killed.
SACRAMENTO Jan. 80, IL o'clock.
Upwards of 40 dead bodies have already
been recovered, killed by the explosion of the
Pearl. Most all business has been suspended
