The Mogul, branch of the Chinese In
dians, frcqurntly, with their Tartar com
panOns, conquered, like the Indians of our
continent, their heighboring ranches. Tho
consequence was the building Of the mighty
wall, which has been often broken through.
and dcsoIation spread within its enclosure.
But the diminishing of numbers does not
effect this vast empire of Indians, or may
say rather animals in human form. By
common decree, twOthrds Of all the chill
dren born in China must be thrown like
litter Of pups aud kittens, with stone
aronnd their infant necks, into the deep
waters Of rivers aud seas, that the Empire
may not be oveTrun-whnt delnsiOn? They

An official census taken in China, tWics
during the present century, az an interval
of forty years, gives the following results:
The first, taken in 1872, ,e5y order Of the
Emperor Ma EiHg, gave the number Of
inhabitants at 360, 279 ,597; and the second
in 1852, under the reign aud by order Of
the present Emperor, Hien F6uag, was
$50, ,090,300. So with all the destroying
