made sought rskbgs, and were protected on board
of American and other foreign ships at anchor in
the neighborbood. Their 36 companions were be-
headed. The dispositions of the al kidnapped
men are before us. They were nearly all simple
country folk, entced on various pretenses to go to
Wbampoa, where, if they made resistance on dis
covering that they were the victims of fraud, force
andyiolence wereused, such as stabbing and knock
ing On the head, TO compel their submission. They
had all been sold to the foreigners for prices ranging
from Sc to $24. But for the activity of the local
police, these men, with hundreds of others, would,
ere this, baye been sold ostensbly as free aborers
actually as slaves, in Cuba, unless like many who
have preceded them, they had fortunately been shot
in an attempt to regain their freedom in revolt on
board the sayeship.
Such is the real character of the traffic in coolies
in China. The facts related by our correspondent
30 far as they apply to Legitimate emigration from
China, as distinguished from the cruel, slainous
trade in her peop'e as slaves, are interesting and
valuable Precisely what his interest may be either
in the one or the other We have no means Of know
ing. But however unobjectonabe we may deem
voluntary Chinese emgTahon 10 tnis country vi
any other to be, we could not lay before our read
ers defense Of il which may be understood
as covering up the iniquity Of the enforced trade
in these POOR and ignorant people with any
slayeholdiDg country, without, at the same time,
exposing the real character of that detestable
traffic. 1t is in the power of Great Britain, in con-
junction with the Chinese Government, to reeu'
late this matter of Coole Emigration, aud by sub
jectDg it to legitimate and rigid control, put an
end to the Asatc save-trade, at least in part, II
not altogether Some steps to this end, it is said,
have been already taken, and if the attempt shall
be seriously made it is to be hoped that our own
Government will subject her COnsuls in China to
rule SO rigid that they shall no longer lie under the
imputation of completely with the hidnappers.

The House of Representatives seemed 70 have
exhausted itself by its action on Thursday, in
bringing out some $50 bills and resolutions for sub
sequent consideration, and did but little yesterday.
The appropriation for inaugurating the statue Of
Washington on the 22d inst. was put at $4,000,
and passed. Several members took the responsi-
bty Of having their old desks restored TO the haU.
from which they were voted out at the last session.
We think it very likely this movement will result
in the restoration of the old plan Of decks instead
of benches. But it looks boyish not to give the
new arrangement fair trial, the House having de-
berately voted to introduce IT, The object Of that
arrangement s certainly meritorious, and we think
it must inevitably be for the convenience and pr
vate interest of the members themselves, alternate
ly. Unless there is determir alton to go immedi-
ately back to daily pay, think the members viii
do well not to be precipitate about the proposed
restoration.
The Senate bill abolishing the ranking privilege
was taken up, and q motion was made BY Mr.
Stevens, of Pennsylvania to put it on it's passage,
which seemed to be favorably received, though not
carried The House subsequently refused to La, the
bill On the table by vote of72 to 49, Aftsr az st.
tempt by the Opposition to test the Speakers pre-
siding capacities by raising questions of o,der, the
bill was finally referred to select committee Of
five. The vote given the other day against incorpo-
rating this measure On the Post-Ofice bill, il under
stood not to express the sentiment Of the Hoase on
the question. 1t lis now thought the bill viii soon
become a law. On motion of Mr. Sherman, tho
lection of Printer was again postponed to Monday
ext by vote of 30 to g. to which time the
House adjourned.

According to statement in the Brussels journal
LIE Nord of the Cd inst, the Governments of France
and England have communicated to the Government
of Piedmont by couriers who left London and Paris
on Jan. 80, their readiness to recognize the an
nexation of the Italian provinces to Sardinia
Whether the RomagDa is included among these
provinces is not expressly stated, but there is no
reason to suppose that it left out Of course the
Sandman Cabinet will at once proceed to consum-
mate the measure; and we shall very likely hear by
the next steamer that the annexation has been Off
cially proclaimed and carried out. The next step
viii very possibly be the accommodation of Victor
Emanuel and his Minister'S and the laying of all his
kingdom, including the newly annexed portions, IN
der interdict As political measures, however, ex.
communication and the nterdct have ceased to be
electives but what will be the influence Of the annex
alton upon the progress of the popular agitation In
Yenetia on the one hand, and in Umbria and the
Marches on the other, is matter of more eonse-
auence, with regard to which we shall wait with
great interest for farther intelligence.

ing TO be civilized But while Senator Hale bold],
condemns Persico's COLUMBUS, statue Of a doe
and some other things Of that description, he said hs
thought better OF the equestrian statue of Jakson
though be did not pretend to be connoisseur. We
can tell Mr.. Hale that one doesn't need TO be con.
nOisseur in order to understand that this eoues-
trian statue is, If possible, even more absurd,
and more untrue TO nature and common sense,
as well as to all the higher principles of art,
than the Columbus. Let Mr.. Hale look
again at the figure of jackson, and tel US
if 80 stiff, wooden, and mechanical man was ever
seen, in so ungraceful and unmeaning an attitude;
ard then let him look ct the horse and tell es what
be thinks about that. We trust Mr. Hale is Judge
Of what constitutes good horse as every man Of art
and kindly heart ought 10 be; and If he u.s. we are
sure be would not give FIVE dollars for such beast
as that on which Mr.. Mills has mounted bis carca-
ture of the hero of New-Orleans. In fact, such
horse would only be- good for the soap-maksrs and
button. makers, for it could never be put TO any
other useful purpose.
What is the character of Mr. Mls's pew statue,
representing Washington, We cannot say til il is
exhibited to the public. We only know that,
Judging by bis previous efforts, he cannot make
statue fit to be erected; and we have little doubt
that the $50 900 or $4,000 which Congress has
given him for the Washington win prove to have
been just as foolishly thrown away as the SUN they
had paid him for the jackson. 1t ia something to
be thankful for that the cost of its Inauguration has
been reduced from 81 600 to $1,000; but We dare
say it would have been much better not to have IN
augurated it at all.

There is not wide world In this valley so sweet,

One morning spied with hungry nav stccrin /;
The dew on his thin robe hung heavy and chill,
And he walked into the oysters and muscles to kill
Hail Colttmbia happy land,
Far worse times are rigll at land;
If could read my title clear,

- And those who met me on the way,

Oh, tell inc, blue.oyed stranger,
Say, whittier dOst thou roam?
Through those cancbrakes a ranger
llust thou no settled home?
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's carly light
The musqnito We heard at the twilight's last

The musquito that bit us so ferccly at night
That kept US all either from sleeping or dream,

Loud ronr'd the dreadful thunder,
The rain delugo poured,
The clouds seemed rent nspndcr

And then sung
With trembling tongue
Hush my dear lie still and slumber
Valiant armies guard thy bed.

Kind Hearts.

Kind Hearts.
Let but the heart he beautiful,
And care not for the face;
i heed not that the form may want
Pride, dignity. or grace.
Let the mind be filled with glowing thoughts.
And the soul with sympathy
And care not it the check be pale,
Or the eye lack brllioncy.
What though the check be bcautiful--
1t soon must loose its bloom;
The eyes bright lustro soon will fade,
In the dark and silent tomb
But tho glory Of the MUD will live,
rhougn the Joyous life depart,
And the magic charm can never die,
OF II true and noble heart.
The lips That utter gentle words
Have beauty all their own
And more | prize n kindly voice,
Than mu>ic': sweetest tone;
Aud thougl, its sounds are harsh and shrill,
If the heart within boats free,
And echoes back each glad impulse,
