Chinese yourneying.

A missionary at Shanghai thus describes
the mode of travelling in tho region around
the city: i..l
"Good roads, at least, in this part Of Chi
MI, there are none. Land travel is by mar
row pathways, and either on horseback, in
a sedan, or on whcolbarrow. The rich
or classes travail by the first two modes, the
poorer by the last. But these modes of
travelling arc scarcely ever used, except for
short distances, or when the distance is a
great deal shorter by land than by water,
. and IL is important TO reach a given place
sooner than could he accomplished by Ia
king the boat. The great highways of
travel and Of commerce are the numerous
water courses which interscct tho country
in every description. The passenger boats
on these rivers are as admirably adapted
TO their purposes as the sea. going boats are
uncouth, and ill-adapted for the use made
of them. And perhaps in no county in
the world where steamboats, and railroads
have not introduced, is to be found mode
Of travelling which combines comfort and
economy, as travelling on Chinese river
roads. Anice boat containing three rooms
one for himself and one for his servant
can be obtained by the missionary for one
dollar day; and even for less sum
when he engages the boat by tho. month
This sum includes tho wages Of 4 boat
men, and all boat expenses. Ano her very
important consideration is, that the mis-
sionary can pursue his studios with hi'
teacher, and prepare for preaching as regu
larly, and almost as conveniently as il
his own study, and missionaries who it.
inerate in this way regularly devote tbcir
mornings to study, and the afternoons u
preaching and distributing books"

The Clark and >T@iggs- -A..ssedy way to-
day brought to conclusion by yhe execu
ton Of Mrs. Mary Twiggs for the n.arder
of Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. Clark was convicted of the murder
of Mrs. Catharine Ann Clark, by .poisou:,
ing her with arsenic. The husband OF
Mrs. Clerk was convicted of the same
charsg, and was hung on the Goth Of last
munth. The crime was committed IN the
Spring of1s57. Mrs. Clark had been on
visit to Philadelphia, and returned to her
HON, in bad health. The poison is suppos-
to have been administered iu her medicine
Mrs. Twiggs acted as nnrse to Mrs CLARK,
and was the only one who attended Mrs.
Clark during her illness. Both were CON-
vicled on the strongest crcumstantial ev,
dence. A new trial was applied for, aud
u writ Of error argued before the Supreme
Court, when the decision OF the lower tri.
bunal was confirmed. Every effort was
made to obtain pardon for Mrs. Twiggs.
Petitions were extensively circulated and
signed, but Gov. Packer, after carful re-
view Of all the circumstances IN connec-
ton with the case, positively refused to
grant the request.
The con1emned woman passed last night
rather comfortably, sleeping with her chill
dren in her arms She bale farwel to her
brother and children this morning, and,
after devotional exercises in her room was
taken to the scaffold at LOT o'clock, lean.
ing on the arm Of one her spiritual advisers.
A chapter having been read, and an
impressive prayer offered up on the scaffold.
Mrs. Twiggs spoke for six or eight minutes,
protesting her innocence, declaring her
readiness to die and her trust in a just
Judge, only regretting to leave behind her
twoiorphan children.
D1She was much affected throughout.
The solemnity Of the sccna was made moro
impressive by her groans and sobs. Even
after the cap was drawn over her face she
appealed to God in the mo earnest man
ner, and she asserted her innocence.
O. At l04 o'clock the drop fell, and after
struggling for few moments, the wretch
ed woman hung lifeless.

The town o. San Diego is in the most
defanceless condition; which fact has rcsul.
ted in determination among large bedy
Of outlaws who itsfest tire locality to sack
and destroy the place. It is feared tha,
these men will form an alliance, with bos.
tie Indians 10 assist in the attack. What
makes affairs much worse is the entire ab-
sence Of arms and ammunition, either in
The military stores or the hands Of private
citizens in San Diego. Representations
have been made to the army officers, but
it would seem they arc without means to
lend any assistance.
The Herald. published at San Diego
July 81, states that in its issue of the week
before it noticed rumor then current that
an attack upon San Diego was threatened
by the desperate gang Of outlaws and fo'
gitiyes from justice who infest the frontier
or lower California. 'Information has
.bceA received since that time, from vsrions
sources, rendering it certain that tho ru:
NOR was uot unfounded, but that actual
preparations have been made to sack the
town and sacrifice the life Of every citizen
who offered the least resistance or preyeus
their nefarous schemes.
: aOn Tuesday last We received intelli-
gence which removed every doubts to the
intentions of those desperadoes. Immedi
. ately public meeting was called, and our
citizens repaired to the armory of the SaH
Diego Guards, and Capt. Pendleton wvs
called to the chair. Judge D. B. Kurtz,
after stating the object of the meeting, in
formed the cascns that during tho day
he received information to the effect that
some thirty prisons, refugees from justice
from differend corntIics Of this state, were
banded together in the mountains imma;
diately south 4f the line, Tor the avowed
object of sacking this place. The means
through which this infol nations was re-
ceivcd left ho doubt Of its truth.
"After icveral suggestions as to the
best mode Iof defence, it was resolved to
place a GUARD Of t. elve persons around
the the town each night A roll was
then opued for volunteers, when every
person prese1t offered his service as .
guard wneh Ter required. After the ad.
joumment of the meeting guard was inn
mcdately placed in the outskirts Of the
town, and cal th night since has twelve Of
our citizens beyu detailed for guard"

The Troy Times says: "The scheme Of
crossing the ocean has been proposed by
Messrs Wise and Steiner, and each has
offered to build an airship Of the requisite
size, and make the trip, but has tailed in
getting subscription Of twenty thousand
dollars for tho purpose, Mr.. In Mountain
says he will remain in this city during the
winter, and build ballo,n sixty Ave feet
in diameter, with an expansive power Of
. Eve tons, with which no will cross the
ocean; starting from this city in May mort,
and land within twenty-five miles Of any
given point in Europe. He has discovered
n principle which will enable him to retain
the gas in his balloon for any given
length Of time, and he is confident that
air can be navigated as well as water, and
with as little difficulty. He docs not ask
twenty thousand dollars to make the at
tempt, and is willing 10 encounter the sts
tendant risk without any immediate pros
poet Of reward. We are glad the trial is
to be made at this point. Whether it is
success or failure, il will be q rare
sight to see tho departure from our midst
Of a balloon inflated with fifteen thousand
feet # gas, and carrying ship provided
! with apparatus for navigating the air."

The character Of the present immigration
TO this State, must be source Of sincere
qualification to every man who has the in.
tercsts Of Missouri at heart. Numbers of
farmers from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
are daily passing over our ferry boats, en-
route to the interior, and from their pcrso-
nal appearance and the character Of their
equipments, it is patent TO every. unpreju-
diced cye thai, they are men of tho right
enterprise and stuff for a rapidly growing
State. Yesterday morning we observed a
train Of six wagons vending thcir wa?
along the Leyec and up Market street and
learned that they belonged to Mr.. Ragland,
his two sons, Mr.. Hawkins and Mr.. Tate,
all having their families, and in all mum.
bering twenty persons. They are farmers
from Wash ington County, Illinois, and left
tLeir homes on the 7th, inst. They pro-
cecd TO Springfield, in this State, and will
locate on excellent land in tho vicinity Of
that town. Another train Of wagons, with
about the samo number Of stalwart men
and handsome, hearty young mothers, with
lively, clean children, from tho same part
of tho country, crossed yesterday on the
upper ferry boat, anil are now on their way
to Southwest Missouri. Are not these en-
courasing signs for the future Of our State !.
While these white men yesterday morn
ing were marching over Tho ferries into the
promised land Of Missouri. there might
Eecn seen on Locnst street the counter.
march Of gang Of about seventy black
slaves, gciuA out Of this territory, which is
entirely unsuted to them, and returning
again to the land from whence they came.
They were under charge of several negro
traders and were Of all ages, sizes, colors
and sexes. These slaves have doubtless
been accommodating in the yards Of this city
I for some time past, and were bcing placed
on boarl Southern bound steamer for the
New Orleans market. With llicdeparturc
OF tho boat, they will be gone from this
State, and room will be made for ns many
