"There are five Independent papers in the in

Flat Inquirer, which squnts towards secession as

CHINA RUMPUs.-A most Internal hubbub was
raised on Tuesday night, among and by the Chi
nesc Sheriff Folansbee, of Shasta, arrested two
Chnawomen and one man, on warrant issued
in that county. The prisoners were placed in a
buggy, everything being ready for start,
when it was discovered that the reins had been
cut. After repairing damages the Sheriff start
ed, with his Celestial passengers dashed to the
seat Shortly afterwards, on application of some
of their countrymen, a writ of habeas corpus was
issued, and an officer started in pursuit. The
party was overtaken on Browns Mountain, the
prisoners returned, and after an examination dis
charged.
Another order Of arrest was sc mt from Shasta,
but the prisoners could not be found, having
been carefully slowed away by friends and sym
pathisers. There the matter rests, but another
attempt to take them will undoubtedly be made.
AS a general thing the Chinese population of
this town are terrible nuisance. Their numbers
are daily increasing, and the accumulation of
filth about some Of the pestiferous holes they oc-
cupy is absolutely sickening. Many of them are
slaves-especially the women-and are bought
and sold as such. In every portion OF the State
white men begin to complain of their interference
with labor in the mines, the field, the workshop,
and other industrial pursuits, and with the Hy-
drulc Press, we think that if the vast importa-
tion of these miserable pests cannot be stopped,
" an apprentice act should be passed, securing
their labor at n small pittance to white men, in
menial service, and positively forbidding them
to come in competition with mechanics, agrlcul-
turists or miners"

Progress of the War.

Every Pony that arrives brings evidence OF the
earnest determination Of the Government to put
down the secession rebellion at any cost and haz
ard. There will soon be an army of 100000 men
in the field, backed by an appropriation of some
$500, 100000. Like great boa constructor, sure
ly but certainly is the glorious old veteran SCOTT,
encrcling within the folds of the grand Federal
army the cohorts of jeff Davis. Virginia is be-
ing entered at all vulnerable points, and the reb-
ell outposts are falling back upon the main body.
The result is easy to be told-not for any lack of
courage or bravery will the secessionists be over
powered, but by overwhelming numbers of stern
and equally brave patriots. Within sixty days
the Stars and Stlipes will again float over the
Capital of the mother of States-Virginia thence
South will the same victorious army take its way,
giving joy, and peace, and security to a now dis
tracted and misguided people, until it reaches the
keys of Florida and the Rio Grande.
By sea the rebel States are entirely cut off from
intercourse of any kind the blockade is COM
plete. No coptraband goods can pass down the
Mississippi every railroad and other avenue for
trade from the Western and Northern States are
carefully guarded. These States must begin to
feel bitterly the necessity Of domestic and for
egn commerce, to say nothing of the Interrupt
ton of social Intercourse. They have fondly
hoped that France or England would be bribed
by King Cotton to compel our Government to
raise the blockade. That hope begins to pale,
and the rebel heart sckens Even the great
heart of monarchial Europe sympathises too deep
ly with our noble Government to lightly or sell
fshly aid in its dismemberment True, the heads
of European mOnarches would like to see the
fall of this giant Republican, Democratic govern
ment, but the great mass Of people in those coun-
tries hold too many checks over their rulers, and
have too deep an interest in the success Of free
nstitu tions to permit their interference in behalf
of its destruction. Once in o while we hear of a
proposition coming from some foreign power
to open our ports but the loyal Government at
Washington steadily and firmly refuse. We can
not but think this the most eflectua and mercful
way to crush out rebellion in the seeded States.
The present Southern movement once crushed,
and the order of civil government, with all its
blessings, re established, the leaders of rebellion
will never again, during the present century,
make head. The people of those States will have
had their eyes fully opened to the folly of seces
sion they will have suffered more than sufficient
for the qualification of the ambition of their sell
prejudice which these leaders have awakened
will recoil upon their unworthy heads, huring
them from power to obscurty- y-handing them
down to poserity in unmarked graves, - unwept
unhonQred and unsung."
