'endent OF this district, is building very sub.
s'an'lal bridge over the gully ia the lower parr
oi town. This is an improvem ent long needed
ns every teamster on the road will agree. There
are several other places in the street that need
tepairnS-disging down or filling up We
have no doubt however, but that the Superin.
'endent has his eye upon them, and that in a
short time they will be remedied /, will take
but very little work 10 make Maine street look

The Ch;re.. En.

The rebels have been driven from their strong.
holds on tue river near Cauton. The ccrrespon
dent Of the Alto. writing from Can,on on the 9th
April, says the Mandarins gained victory over
the rebels at Blenhein Reach Fort on the 9TH.
Since then they. the Mandarins. have been
very active IN capturing those of the villagers
about the country who favored the rebels while
iu power Up 10 this time it is said that loo, 600
prisoners have been brought in from the country
and executed. To expedite the executions the
Mandarins have ordered that the prisoners be
tied together by fives and tens and thrown into
the river The Mandarins have very simple
way OF trying the accused. When brought in
the prisoner Is asked whether he can prove by
any person then present tina, he has had nothing
10 do with the Rebels; If unfortunately he cam
not, he Is forthwith handed over 10 the execu-
toner, who IN his turn iortures the prisoner by
beating him on the ankles with piece of hard
wood TO elicit confession of who were his ac-
complces. or who OF his acquaintances were fa-
vorable 10 the Rebels. Whether he confesses or
not his head Is taken off in q few minutes pf,er.
In case the prisoner has been person ii author.
iy among the Rebels his end is not 50 summary.
When handed over 10 the exec.iiioner he is
bound TO wooden cross when the executioner
commences his work by drawing sharp knife
across the prisoners forehead, which makes a
irishttul cash; he ibcn slowly cuts of both ears
closely 10 the heaF the mans breasts are then
removed exposing the quivering flesh; the knife
Is then drawn upward through the abodmen the
bowels fakeii ont, and before life is fairly extinct
The head Is severed at blow.
One OF the chiefs who was taken they cut into
"A pieces, commencing at the feet and hands.

REVEREND AND MosT Holy FALsEHooD.-
The retiring editors Of the S. f. Christian Adpo-
cafe. in their valedictvry, published on Saturday
last. in speaking os the various evils with which
hey had to combat at the commencement of
their editorial career. year since, deliver
themselves of the following:
The nir Of California so boastfnlly free, was
thick and foul with the sprit of slavery. Men
born North OF the dominons of the Dagon of
oppression. avowed their b:rthplac at the peril
OF their reputation 1t was u crime to have IN
hailed northern atmosphere.
1t was a crime to have inhaled northern
atnosphere!'' A man. or set of men, who w onld
deliberately write and publish this declaration,
must either be totally devoid Of truth. or Ia
mentally ignorant. Now see how li.ile bit of
truth will appear in this connection. John Big
lei, born and raised in Pennsylvania, and who
never lived in u slave State, has been our Gov
ernor for nearly four years-and a mighty good
Governor withal Messrs Gilbert, Price Me-
Corkle. latham, McDougal. all Of whom have
represented US in Congress- were from States
- north of the dop,inons of the Dagon of op-
preston" Senator Weller was raised III Ohio
Murray and Bryant, of the Supreme Bench, are
also men who have inhaled a northern atmos
phere'' from their birth. Wells. too, the prede
cessor OF Bryan, never knew that he periled his
reputation by the Dvowal that New York was
his native State. But we have named enough
1t is useless to waste time with men who ulag-
inc that under cover Of The sacertlotul robes
they may make any SORT Of declaration unqnes
toned. They Christifs4 editors, and of
course expect their focks TO swallow blindly
whatever they may say. though it be never so
destitute of truth. No homes. man believes that
men have been prescribed in this State because
OF their having been born in tie north The
people OF this State. however, do look upon
certain class OF Observation-Disclosures oath-
ing and contempt. These they refuse to place
in power. and will ever refuse. though
these men rant and rave till crack of doom.
