Terrible Results of the Rebellion In
China.

Terrible Results of the Rebellion In
China.
An American Missionary fur
nishes tbs following account OF the
terrible desolation OF China, in con.
sequence OF the long rebellion which
has prevailed in that country:
After our interview with this
rebel chief we returned TO our boat.
| had often passed along these streets
before, but great change had taken
place. Where were once crowded
thoroughfsres, now all is desolation.
The houses are in ruins; streets are
filed with filth; human bodies are
lett to decay in the open places, or
thrown into pools or cisterns to rot.
Out of moro than million OF the
native inhabitants Of Suchsu city,
was told that not more than thirty
thousand now remain within the
walls. Once | lived In this beauti
iul city and was familiar with its
beautiful scenery, but now, oh how
fallen, how wrctched! The people
Of Suchan were proud, deceitful
and full OF vain glory; but now they
sit in the dark. and many without
hope: their wealth, their pride, their
glory all gone; their wise men and
their rich men forgotten amidst the
ruins Of their forsaken homes.
Along the way from Sucbau to
Wnsrik, VIC saw, here and there, the
melancholy remains Of the houses
and tho bones OF the people that had
fallen. mingled together as il alike
worthless. The city Of Wusrik We
found nearly or quite as much q
wreck as Suclau. The people here
very unhappy under the rebel rule
and many OF them spoke with greaI
bitterness, and gnashed their teeth
as they spoke OF their ruined houses
From Wusrik to Chang chan, {
distance of thirty miles, all the house'
had been destroyed or dsmantled
We reached Chang.chan in tn,
afternoon, and entered the city al
the East cato, outside Of which
stands a pagoda. Near it there was
recently monastery, with resident
five corps of hundred Priests, who
have fled, and their buildings have
, been demolished.

Temarking Indignantly, as she tossed them
into the gutter, "That is a Union boQuei,"
Rorison, chagrined at the unladylike act,
said, "Madam, is this the way you would

Of Union propertyi" She replied that il
was, and, II itwere possible, II would con

A few days after this Rorison was missed

c4uf.rms it. We clip the following
from that paper:
Right ut Juckson.-We extract
the following paragraph from letter
received yesterday from Cumberland
Cap.
News reached here last night
that a regiment of Indianians had
crossed tho line at Jacksboro, and
were allowed to advance some ten
miles on Southern soil, when they
were met by the 18th Mississippi in
j. Elandto-hand fight. The result
was as might have been ex xpected.-
he Southern boys charged them
wicn such itnpetuousity that they
broke and fi.,o, leaving half their
number dead upon the field. They
were literally cut to pieces. The
"ows came direct, and / presume it
is true. The Mississippians are
1,.liant set of fellows, and were with
us at Wildcat"
The defrat Of the F'ederals also
derives additional confirmation from
the remark Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, that. tie rout Of the Federals
at Cumberland Gap was most dis
graceful, evidently alluding to this
atttair.-Memphis Avalanche,
