GEN. WALKERS BoDY AND Private PAPERS.
The election has absorbed so much of the
public attention in the South, that the friends
of the late Wiliem Walker have not kept the
fate of that misguided man very prominently
before the public, though occasionally some
enthusiastic Southron breaks out in fitful
call for "blood" and revenge" This is high
ly impolitic Just now, as Buchanan is opposed
to flibustersm, and Lincoln, of course, more
so than Buchanan. 1t is announced in the
New Orleans Picayune, on the authority of
a private letter from Honduras, that H. b.
Ms Superintendent at the Belize, Mr. Price,
has possession of Gen. Walkers private cor
respondence with citizens of that Republic,
previous to the late invasion. 1t is said to
give abundant evidence that the people of
Ruatan Island were almost unanimously in
favor of the expedition, and that it was fa-
vored by many prominent persons on the
main land How Mr.. Price came in posses
sion Of this correspondence is not stated
Capt. }. L. West, one of Walkers late com
rades in Honduras, and who formerly served
with him in Nicaragua, has sailed from New
Orleans in the schooner John l.. Taylor,
bound to Truxilo, to obtain, if possible. and
convey to the United States, the body of the
late fibuster Chief This trip is at the ex-
pense and desire of Walkers father, W ho de-

TIE ALCHEMY OF VICE-The Illinois Tenn
perance journal brings to inind the story OF
the Italian artist who, meeting with child
of exquisite beauty, wished to preserve its
features, for fear he should never see such
loveliness again So he painted the charm
ing face on canvas, and hung it upon the
walls of his studio. In his gloomiest hours,
that sweet, gentle countenance was like an
angel of light to him. Its presence filled his
soul with the purest aspirations. "If | ever
find" he said, "a perfect contrast to this
beautiful face, l will paint that also, and
hang them side 10y side, an ideal of Heaven
and He'll" Years passed. At length, in a
distant land, he saw, in prison he visited
the most hideous object he ever gazed upon
fierce haggard fiend, with glaring eyes
and cheeks deeply furrowed with lust and
crime The artist remembered his vow, and
Immediately painted picture Of this leath-
some form, to hang beside the portrait of thii
lovely boy. The contrast was perfect. lli'
dream was realized The two poles of the
moral universe were before him. What wa,
the surprise of this artist, when, on inqurne
into the history of this horrid wretch, to fins
that he was once that lovely little boy
Both of these pictures, the angel and th'
demon of the soul, now hang side by side il

THE Alta thus speaks of the accident TO
Mr.. Barber in San Francisco Sunday, on the
occasion of the fire:
Mr.. Barber, though not fremen, has al
ways taken an active part in the duties OF
the Department. He was ordered to step
out upon the iron-roofed balcony of the the
atre and remove a piece of burning mating
which had fallen there. While doing this,
the slight material broke through, letting
him fall distance of some twenty feet upon
the side walk, where he struck heavily, head
downwards.
The full extent of his injuries cannot yet
be ascertained; but it is found that the spi
nal column is seriously injured, as the whole
body is paralyzed-the unfortunate man be-
ing utterly unable to move limb, and ex-
periencng great pain in the neck and back
This is the third accident he has met with
within two years, in the discharge of fire
mans duty.

KLLIN3 OFF THE CuGNEsE-It has been
computed on the most reliable data, that not
more than one bullet out of every five hun,
dred fired in battle takes effect. This of
course includes the wounded as well as the

comes an Interesting calculation to know
how many bullets must be fired, how many
pounds of powder burned and how long it
will take to Kill off the Chinese, for they

tion never to yield to the English and
French. A Captain Darby, connected with
the French expeditionary corps in China
states positively from actual knowledge, that
the Chinese forces do not number less than
thirteen or fourteen hundred thousand, now
ready to take the field. In case of necessity
this force can be doubled and even quadru
Piled, making nearly six millions of soldiers
to be disposed of before China can be con-
quered To kill and wound the number
would require three thousand millions of
bullets and no end of powder. If China can
only be conquered ty destroying the Chinese
soldiers, the work will not be accomplished
in less than century and will exhaust all
the powder and ball in the world. To effect
this purpose the French and English have
sent a Joint force of about eighteen or twenty
thousand troops, and a considerable fleet
The present generation is very likely to be-
queath the Chinese war TO posterity.

A SERIES of investigations extending thro
the last twenty years, and conducted in a
most careful manner, by the ablest rhysiolo
gists of France, Germany England and
America, have demonstrated that the liver Of
man, as well as that of most other animals
secretes sugar from substances brought to it
by the blood, and it is found that the liver
continues TO produce sugar some twenty-four
hours after death; even when the organ i.
removed from the system.

FOREIGN ADvENTUREBs IN THE CHINESE
RANKs-The Paris Journal des Debats, in the
course of a letter from Shanghae, dated Aug
l6th states that number of foreign adven
turers had Joined the Imperial troops, and in
their conflicts with the Tai-Ping rebels, were
achieving desperate and bloody reputation
Among these soldiers of fortune was an
American named Ward, who, it appears,
agreed to capture cities by jobwork. The
correspondent writes:
Ward had collected troop of 1000 to
| 5000 Ta9ais, belonging to Manila, and about
dozen sailors from the different seaports of
the East. He and his men were paid by the
Tou Tai, or Mayor of Shanghai $50 taels, or
about 900 francs a month and he enjoyed
the title of Colonel. But that was not all
When he retook city from the insurgents,
he received a reward proportionate to the
service he had rendered. For instance, the
retaking of Sung Kiang brought the gallant
Colonel the sum of 81 800 francs, Such re-
muneration would have stimulated the ardor
of men more scrupulous than Mr.. Ward. The
city of Tsing Pow, near Shanhai, was retaken
| by the rebels The Tou Tai was in great
trepidation, but Ward re-assured him, and
offered to make all right for personal re-
ward of 100000 francs. Arrived at Tsing
Pow he gave the signal of assault. and was
received by shower of balls. But Ward is
brave, and he determined to prove himself
worthy the confidence ofthe Tou Tai. Twice
repulsed twice he returned to the charge
Climbing the walls with but about fifty of
his followers he found himself face to face
with the chief of the Tai Pings he fired at
him twice but missed. "You rascal, said he
in good English "I1l SHOW you can fire
better than YOU" and he did show it 10y
shooting him through the stomach and leg
Yet Ward escaped, though the greater por-
lion of his men were lost He is now at
Shanghae; and as he is of good constitution,
it is probable that in few weeks he will he
