nE1One of the most promising results Of the
recent treaties with China is the eagerness which
has been displayed by the different Christian
sects to avail themselves of the opportunities af
forded by them of carrying the light Of the gos-
pei into the heart of that vast empire. The ink
on those instruments was scarcely dry when
vast preparations were everywhere set on foot
to recruit missionaries for this great work.

CHARLES H. BARRETT. Cores
pondence. readers are, no doubt, aware of
the fact that Charles H. Barrett, is now confn-
ed in Washington Jail awaiting the execution
of the sentence of death passed on him at the
last term of the Criminal Court, for the murder
of Reeve Lewis
His accomplice in the murder-Henry Will
liams-was convicted of the crime of manslaught-
er, and is now in the penitentiary serving out
his sentence. Williams last week made re-
quest to Barrett, through the chaplain of the
penitentiary, asking him to make a statement
generating him (Williams) from all blame in
the transaction. To this, Barrett made reply
in writing, from which it will be seen that he
charges Williams with being the principal in
the murder. The States publishes the reply in
full but we have only room for the following ex-
tract:
Gas you well know, and God knows, that it
was by your hands, and yours only, that COM
mtted the awful crime that am to suffer for
This I will have to say in my dying hour, soon
err or later. My earthly judges have found ME
guilty of the murder; but 1 appeal to higher
source-and God knows l am innocent. No
doubt, when I leave this world of troubles, but
what you will accuse me of being the murderer.
That little care what you or they may say a.
bout me; so that know that my soul is at rest
in that Heavenly Kingdom prepared for those
who seek it. Henry, do not, for the love of God,
think that hold animosity or hatred against
you, for do not; but pity you from the bottom
of my heart. You must remember that [ am
not your only accuser, but God is your accuser
also and I implore you to throw yourself upon
His mercy, for it is He alone that can help you,
and alone help. Seek Him as your firm, fast,
and unceasing friend, and call upon him in the
agony of your sufferings."

BROKEN OUT AGA1N-A correspondent of

Hill, n. c., on the 18th inst, says;
The hogs are dying, in this county, in large
numbers from the effects of the hog cholera or
some other fatal disease Some of our farmers
have lost as high as a hundred head. observe
also that a number Of horses in this vicinity are
afflicted with the disease of sore mouths The
tongue Of the animal appears to be very much
swollen; with small sores on it's entire surface
The tongue hangs out at one side of the mouth,
and the slightest movement appears to create
pain. Whether this is species of the black
tongue so common among the cattle or not, 1
am not able to determine.

and we have not had killing frost. Even in

The PROSPECTS OF THE TOBACCO CRoP IN
V1RG1N1A.-Th Richmond Wing winds up its
annual review Of the Tobacco market, with the
following:
''There can be no doubt of the fact that this
years crop of Tobacco in, Virginia, be material
ly short of last years. The visitation of devas-
tating hail storms, in the northeast, and the
more disastrous because, more general, drought
in other sections, where tobacco is chiefly grown,
will cause heavy falling off in the supplies of
the next twelve months, as compared with those
for the year just ended, when the receipts ex.
ceeded the average of former years, 10000 hhds.
1t is to be remembered, however, that the high
prices of the year '56-'57 have greatly stimulat-
ed the cultivation Of Tobacco, in this State and
North Carolina, as evinced by the heavy receipts
just alluded to, and contributions will received
this season from counties in which, until recent
ly, little or no Tobacco has been raised With
these considerations before us, we are inclined to
believe that the deficiency Of this years crop
may be estimated at about 10000 hhds. The
reports from the West more favorable"

INTERESTING FROM MEXICO Informal ion
has been received at Washington that General
Casanova, commanding the forces at Guadalax-
ara, had been defeated in the vicinity of that aty
by Degollado. Casanova lost out of one thou
sand men, eight hundred in killed, wounded and
disbanded, besides his artillery and ammunition.
Blanche and Rocha, Generals under Degollado,
had taken the cities of Leon, Celaya, Salamanca,
and some towns near Guanaxuto. Culiacan
the capitol of the State of Sinaloa, had pronounce
ed in favor of the constitutionalists, and Coron-
ado chief of the constitutional forces there, was
marching on Mazatlan. Three companies of
Echeagaray's forces, at Jalapa, had gone over
to the constitutionalists, who were posted, under
Lave, five leagues from that city. Three 9TH
er companies were to follow this example next
day. There is general movement, from the
circumference to the centre of the City of Mexico
and Puebla, on the part of the constitutionalist
forces, and it is believed Zuloaga's fall is imm-
nent. Garza's conduct, in making the forced
loan on foreigners, is disapproved of by the lib
eral leaders.

The BALTIMORE CITY ELEcr1oN-The cleo
ton for Mayor and members of the City Coun-
Gil on the 18th instant, has resulted as follows
For Mayor-Swann, 24,OO8; Shut 1885,
Swann's majority 10 JAG. In the City Council
but two Democrats were elected.
Col. A. P. Shut, the independent candidate
for Mayor, withdrew from the contest The
Sun says: cat very early hour the fact was
current throughout the city that the polls were
in possession of a class of men who could only
be encountered upon equal terms by resort to
violence and the use of arms Consequently all
attempt to poll an opposition vote was aban-
doned. At about noon a handful was issued by
Colonel Shut announcing his withdrawal, and
from that time until the polls closed the vote,
we presume, was exclusively for Mr.. Swami.
This publication having been generally dis
tributed about the several polls, and posted in
various parts of the city, had the effect to retire
what few of Mr.. SHUTS friends who were en-
deavoring to maintain their ground, and to leave
the affair of the day uncontested to the close.'
There was several persons shot during the
day and great deal of high-handed villiany
perpetrated in different parts of the city by a
set of lawless characters

LAND WARRANTs-The following informa-
ton on the subject of Land Warrants, may be
of Importance to some of our readers:
Land Warrants that issued after the death of
the grantee, or that were not assigned by him
in his lifetime, were void under the former Acts
of Congress, but by law of the last session they
can be administered on, and sold for the use of
the heirs Of the persons to whom they issued
Persons having warrants of that character are
now taking out letters of administration and
making sale Of them. They are not liable for
the debts of the deceased, and hence require no
notice to creditors; they can be sold at once and
distributed among the heirs The expense of
administration is small. Persons having war
Rnts 8tlAt character can now make them a.
valuable.
r--F1Hr Bznr17r0rE 6rrr ErECr1u7:-ztsff for the
whole election on Wednesday no one can feel a
deeper disgust and condemnation of the scenes
and incidents, and outrages by which it was at
tended and consumated than ourselves-nor can
we draw any satisfaction from the evidence that
the disposition to act unjustly and unfairly was
evinced on both sides, wherever they had the
po,rer to coerce and intimidate the voters
That, had all who were disposed to vote been
permitted to quietly approach the polls and de-
post their ballots, Mr. Swami would have been
fairly and legally reelected, we have not single
doubt, and of the legal votes polled he had I'M
Questiona6ly a large majority. But that the re-
suit as it stands recorded in the returns of the
judges is in any other respect the voice of the
legal voters of Baltimore, we cannot believe and
will not for moment attempt to assert. Those
returns, indeed, bear on their face the so palpa-
BILE impress of fraud and violence that any dis
pute on the subject among fair-minded and in
telligent men is impossible. We should have
welcomed defeat as preferable to triumph so i'm
properly won-Baltinaore Ame11can
