The Celestials are wonderful people;
whether residing in the Flowcry Kingdem
or sojourning among outside barbarians.-
They are a home race, and although at
tracted by gold in large numbers to Cali
fornia, they have no intention of becoming
permanent fixtures outside of the Chinese
Wall. Women and children are left be-
hind, and to such extent as to lead to the
supposition that the laws of China forbid
the emigration of women. OF the forty
thousand Chinese in California, only about
two thousand are females, generally of an
abandoned character. The families of the
fortune-seekers abroad are left in China,
and Cinnamon calculate to return home as
soon as their fortunes are made.
The California Custom House returns
show that from lS4S to 1855 inclusive, tho
Chlnese arrivals were 44,5O0, and the de-
partures were 12,425. Some 1900 had
died. The dead bodies of such as have
psoperty are sent home to be buried in
China, and the semi-annual worship of spi--
rits of the departed, constitutes a marked
feature in the Chinese religion.
Chinese emigrants to California embrace;
all classes, professions, and trades, and thoy
are usually industrious and thrifty, taking
care of their own poor. On landing they
usually remain but a few days in San Fran:
cisco, and generally proceed BY steamers to
Sacramento, Stoeton. Maysville, DC, be-
ing guided by the advice of their country
men who have been longest in the coun-
try.
California has taken steps through en-
actment of laws to exclude the Chinese
from that State, on the plea that to admit
them would endanger our characteristic ma
tionality and our Christian ciyilization.---
This has ever been the course of the Chi
nese, their exclusive policy being based on
precisely the same grounds. The Tri5me's
long and interesting article, from which We
have condensed the above facts, thus con-
cludes: s~ si1 -
In fact. the best Justification of the late
act excluding Chinese emigrants would
seem to be the total inability or unwilling
ness of the Government and people of Cal
ifornia to extend TO them anything like
equitable treatment or the protection of the
laws. The courts of justice are substan-
TALLY shut to them by the exclusion of Chi
nese testimony, and there is no end to the
oppression, ra calities, and outrages of
which they are made the unrcsisting vic
tins ClerelaRd Leader.

Sad Accident.

On Wednesday evening last, about dark
CHARLES FoULKs, an apprentice to the
Printing business in this office, was drown
ed while bathing in Killbuck creek, neal
the dam. Ignorant of the depth of the
water where he ventured in, lie suddenly
got beyound his depth, and unable to swim,
sunk to rise no more until his body was
taken out a Telescopes. The alarm was
Immediately given by one who saw his
struggles, but was unable to render assist
ance because he could not swim, and every
effort was made to recover his body but
without success, until it had been under
water about half an hour, when life was
gone beyond recovery.
CHARLES was about II years of age,
had been in our employ about year and
a half To say that he was a good boy
is not say ing enough for hint does not
express the praise that he deserved. Al
though we may succeed in getting another
boy that will perform the same service in
the office, yet we hardly expect to find
one SO worthy in all respects, as he whose
sad end we have to lament. We have had
considerable to do with boys, and consider
that we have been very lucky in always
getting hold of good ones, yet there was
something peculiar about CHARLES, that en-
deared him to every one with whom he
came in contact. 70 his widowed mother,
end 10 him who mourns in the death of
CHARLES, the loss of an only brother, We
offer our heartfelt sympathy in this their
deep bereavement. ....-. asa

Senator Bell, of Tennessee, declined a
dinner rendered him by Luther Bradish,
Simeon Draper, Joseph Blunt, and others,
of New York, and in his letter we find SEN
timents worthy of John Bell-one of the
purest men that ever graced the American
Senate. He says: fa.
"Eyery patriot must see, wherever he
may live under the broad shield of this
Union, that the time has come for great
moral revolution in the administration of
the Government. All the national inter
ests have been sighted and neglected, as if
the prosperity of thirty millions of people
claimed no consideration. Improvement
of rivers ard harbors, upon which internal
commerce depends for its transit and secu-
rity, have been denied; the Government is
carried on by the use or abuse of public
credit; all practical legislation has been re-
fused, and at a time when every man asks
his neighbor why this universal derange
ment and stagnation of trade has CONC to
pass, neither the President nor his advisers
have made q recommendation or enquiry
directed towards relief. They have either
stood still, or exerted their administrative
faculties for the domination of party or the
distraction of the Union.
No wonder, then, the cry of "change"
has gone forth, and that the people are ri
sing up in their own strength to demand it.
The North and the South have IN equal
stake in the result, and whatever energies
can command shall be employed now, as
heretofore, in restoring the government to
its original purity, in Strengthening the
the bonds of union, and in promoting those
moral and material interest by which alone
as nation, we can be made prosperous and
happy.

IHE TELKGRAPuIc FLEET.-No news
yet from the Submarine Expedition now
three weeks out. The weather is fayora-
bic, and the Niagara is momentarily ex-
pected. The long delay in hearing from
the fleet indicates that the work of sub.
merging the cable bas been going on sue
cessfully. If there had been sudden and
decided failure, the vessels composing the
fleet would have made their way homeward
with celerity, and would before this have
reached some port from which intelligence
concerning the disaster would have been
communicated. There is reason to enter
tain lively hope that the greatest of en-
terpriscs will soon be announced successful.

From the Wooster Republican
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-In short time, the
voters of this Judicial District, will be call
ed upon to elect, under an act of the last
General Assembly, an additional Judge Of
the Court of Common Pleas. 1t is time
the Republicans were looking around for a
man promising the necessary qualifications
for the place, to be selected as their candi-
date. A man honest and capable should
be selected.
ALLOW me to present the name of c. F.
WORRIES, Esq, of Millersburg, Holmes
County, as such candidate.
Mr.. VooRHEs is a man of fine ability, a
sound lawyer, and strict integrity of char
acter Digniied and gentIemanly in his
manners, with great decision of character,
sober and industrious in his habits, he is
eminently qualified for that responsible of
flee. Since his admission to the Bar IN '43,
he has been constantly engaged in the ac-
tive practice of his profession. Although
thorough and reliable Republican, always
ready to work for others of his party, he
is net a mere politician, but an experienced
and accomplished jurist. Should he be
selected as candidate, and elected, the
people will have their business promptly
and satisfactorily disposed of.
To all ofthe above, we respond, "Amen"
If Mr.. V. should consent to run and be the
nominee, lie will make q most excellent
candidate, and will, without a doubt, be
elected. He would receive the unanimous
vote Of the Republicans in the District, and
in our own, and adjoining counties, where
personally known, receive large Demo
cratic vote. Until within few years past,
Nh. v. belonged 10 what is called the
Democratic party. but when that party,
sold out to the slave king he left it, not
willing that the slave drivers of the South
should make merchandise Of him as. they
do of the slave on their plantations. His
attachment to party is from love of its
principles, not for the gifts it has to bestow.
If we had more such politicians in the
country, there would be less corruption,
and public trusts conferred by the people
would be returned TO them again graced
by the acquaintance, and made honorable
by the manner in which the duties were
discharged.

that the pigeons in many localities in this
county are literally sweeping the late

stalks and devouring every grain. One man
lost sixteen acres, another eighteen, anoth-

tered within few days by our citizens,
