forts, and was more infamous even than It was in the days of JACKSON coffin hand bills. "Antl- Nebraskao be ,ame the taismanic watchword by which the most worthless, corrupt and ln- efficient partisans were elected to office, while sober and sensible men were mortlhed ana astonished at the extraordinary popular delu- sion. Another fanatical and ridiculous excite ment, that of Know Nottingham, about the same time, arose, and, it being leveled against popular rights and individual liberty, naturally ran in and mingled with the anti-Nebraska crusade.
 That was dark political season. of 1854, and was by no means creditable to the intelli- gence of the American people. The clouds of passion and prejudice which obscured their vision have since, in great measure, passed off; and now, when they look at 1t cooly, they will come to the same conclusion. Most rldl- calous and foolish does the anti Nebraska cla- nor and excitement of 1854 appear now when viewed in the light of history. Most lnta- mously unjust and short sighted was the abuse of MT. DOUGLAS and his democratic friends, who were clearly and emphatically right in their position. The present House of Repre- sentatives, which was chosen amid the clamor of 1854, has thus far proved worthy of the intlu- ences by which it was elected. The majority, being made up of emblttered and fanatical par tsans, hostile to the principle of civil and reli- gious liberty and destitute of any odor of na- tionaity, find it difficult even to organize to carry on the government, and has spent the whole session thus far in vain attempts to choose speaker, notwithstanding its boasted preponderance of seventy votes.
 We presume the whole session will pass away in useless and proftless manner and, from all indications, do not doubt that most of these ant-Nebraska gentlemen will be repu- diated by their constituents when they come before them again, and that the great principle of popular sovereignty in the territories will be triumphant over all its assailants So great has been the reaction that the minority of seventy six, headed by the gallant RICHARDSON, is now the only portion of the House whose position commands the respect and elicits the approba- ton of the people. The term "anti Nebraska" has lost its charm, except with few fanatics, and its mention only exctss the derision of practical men.

 As to your fears of the Catholics from their increase, etc., etc., MT. Wesley gives you a recipe for them, for the success of which he pledges his life. He guarantees that, if strict ly followed, it will ensure the conversion of every Catholic.

FIGHTING INDIANS WITH BLOOD HOUNDS. A correspondent of the New Orleans Pcay- une gives an account of fight between Sam Jones, notorious desperado of Texas, and ff- teen. Lipan Indians. He was in his corn-feld when they made their appearance, but mana ged to escape with an old German, into his cabin.
 "The Indians soon surrounded the house with hideous yells. The old man had but lit- tie ammunition, and was, of course, conscious that every shot should tell. When the h. dians would attempt to break in the slight door he would shoot, and while he was load ing, the German would keep them at bay, by pointing an unloaded gun at them through the crevices ofthe house. They managed in this way till the outside of the house was bristlng with arrows, aimed at them between the logs, and the old mans powder had given out. At this moment the Indians retreated short distance to hold council. The beseiged availed them- selves of tho chance to get the assistance of a dozen blood hounds that vers confined in an

About China and the Chinese.

Sir John Bowring has recently addressed q long and interesting letter to the Royal Asiatic Society of London on the subject of China. His official position as ambassador has given him a good opportunity to obtain authentic infor- nation, and the following facts collected from his communication cannots but be read with in- terest:
 Forty three years ago the last official census of the empire was taken, at which time the population was reported at 362, GOO OOO, and the present estimate is 4OO,OOO,OOO. According to ancient usage the population is grouped under the following heads: 1. Scholars;2 2. Husband men; 3. Mechanics; 4. Merchants. A nume- rous additional class is that of social outcasts-- such as gamblers, stage players, beggars, con- victs and robbers. Human life is divided by the Chinese into 10 periods, as follows: The age of 10 is called the "opening degree" 20, "youth expired;" 30, "strength and marrage;' 40, "officially apt" 50, "error knowing" 60, "cycle closing;" 7O "rare bird of age;" so, "rusty vilage;;" 90, "delayed;" 100, "age's extremity"
 | On the subject of food the Chinese have but one prejudice, and that is against milk, which they never touch, while little puppies, kittens, young rats, monkeys and snakes are considered delicaciss. They prefer these even when in stage of decomposition. Chickens in the shell command high price. Milk is however, used by very aged people. Both in eating and drink. ing they are remarkably temperate; but opium is the cause of much wretchedness throughout the empire. The number of people who annu- ally die in China is said to be truly frightful Multitudes perish from starvation, from nun- dations, and from suicide; and the late civil wars have exterminated by famine, disease and the sword, millions of men, women and chil- dren. Sir John Bowring asserts that, at one period of his residence in China; 500 victims fell daily by the hands of the headsman. Re- verence for life there is none; and the dead are treated with perfect indifference--a corpse be- ing often seen under the table of gamblers and a putrid body at the threshold of door, In many parts of China, strange to say, there are towers of brick or stone where female infants are thrown by their parents into hole made in the inside of the wall; and it is asserted that while desire for offspring seems to be univer- sal, lnfanticide prevails to an extent unequaed in any other country; and most astonishing, the childless wife of Chinese willingly coin- cides with the husband in introducing into the household any number of concubines whom he is able to maintain, and she exercises over them an undsputed authority and the child of a concubine is bound to pay higher respect to the lawful wife than to its own mother To promote marriages seems to be every body's affair." and matches and betrothings accordingly occupy the chief attention of al-the young. the mlddle-aged, and the old.

(ET We copy the following from the Mays vile (Ky.) Express, paper edited by Hon. R. H. Stanton, who served in Consres, with MT. Banks, the black republican candidate for Speak, CT of the present Congress-
 "The Louisville Journal is inclined to speak we'll of N. P. Banks, the black republican can didate for Speaker of the House of Representa- tives and thinks he is by no means among the most objectona men of the north" It is true, Mir. Banks has never, like some of the other abolitionists of the north, denounced the Bible as lie because it is supposed to sanction slave ry, and the constitution as fraud, for the same reason; but he entertains opinions, and has ut tered sentiments which should render him as odious to southern men as the vilest fanatic in all the north. Does the Journal remember the speech of Mir. Banks, made May Is, 1854, In the House of Representatives, against the Nebaaska bill? We happened to hear that speech delivered, and now have the report of 1t before us. MT. Banks not only resists with much power and eloquence the passage of the bill then under consideration, but denouRces the fugitive slave law and the compromises of 1850. He declares the fugitive slave law "in- nocuous because of the severity of it's provi- sions,' and justifies the murderous conduct of the negroes of Boston, who rescued one of their brethren from what he calls illegal bondage in other words, who resisted the capture of runaway slave. But this is not all. The pro- vocation of Mir. Banks speech is a justification of the insosnt interference of three thousand aboitionist preachers who undertook, in the name of Almighty God to rebuke Congress for the passage of the Nebraska bill. and glowing and wrought eulogy of their cha racter and virtues. In truth, N. F. Banks shows himself in this speech to be almost as rabid fanatic as Theodore Parker or Wm. Lloyd Garrison.
 The Journal says that in the late canvass for Governor, in Massachusetts, Mir. Banks refused to go for Rockwell, who was supported by the free-soilers of all parties. This is great mis- take, as Mir. Banks was president of the con- vention which nominated Rockwell for Co., vernon, and ardently supported him in the can vass"

 Here was are-enforcement the red scamps had not calculated upon, and in the twinkling of an eye, five of the Indians were hors du combat The balance came to the rescue, and soon shot all Of the remainder of their arrows into the dogs, and beat retreat bearing their wounded, beating off the dogs with their bows, their buck skins in tatters, and blood streaming from eve- " one of them. After the fight the field ex- hibited one dead Indian, three dead dogs, sum- dry pieces of buckskin, mingled with clotted masses of Indian flesh, hundreds of arrows. and pieces of bows.
