expected this number would be increas-

at Irving, where they intended to rest

HoNo KoNG, April l3.
By the return Of private stesmerto Shang
hal from Hangkow we learn that Admiral Hope
with the feet, was close to Hangkow on The
llth ult. The foreigners who visited Hangkow
were courteousy received by the Chinese au-
thorities. It does not appear that the insurgents
have yet got possession of Kingang, but the
places they have taken exhibit sad state Of
destruction. We learn the following partlcu-
lars of the journey ia Hangkow and the places
visited; Nankin Is totally destroyed, as is also
Chinkiang, the first Of the open ports; both are
mass Of ruins. H1 ENeH xts3
The rebels at Nankin proved civil, but .ap.
peared q degraded set. All trade Is stopped
and the people quite euslayed, being forced TO
work without pay, getting only little food. In
moving about the place nothing was seen but
misery and desolation. Nankin is the last port
held by the rebels, and the country as far as
this presented the same features Of destruction.
Above this, the appearance of the country i'm.
proved, but the towns along the route had hll
suffered In former attacks from the rebels, and,

rhe Great earthquake at mendoza

AL letter from Buenos Ayres, dated April 3,
gives some additional particulars Of the earth
quake at Mendoza:
On the evening Of the 20th Of March, at 91f
O'Clock, with serene sky, and without any ap
pearance of q storm, with the exception OF
heavy atmosphere, the earthquake broke forth
with powerful detonation, burying under the
ruins the 1000 houses which the city contained,
and no less than 5000 of its ill-fated inhabi.
tants. Not house remained standing! Such
was the violence of the first shock, which lasted
from two to three minutes, that the earth ap-
peared to have lost Its equilibrium, and when II
passed, wild mass OF wreck, desolation and
woe occupied the site of Mendoza, and gave evil
dence of the fearful throes of matter when the
earth takes breath. For two days, at intervals,
slight trembliugs were felt. Many assures
we're opened in the earth, but the greater part
of them closed again. After the shock 1t was
noticed that in many parts subterranean waters
had arisen to the surface, but had alone left
vestges of their presence, For a league around
the city there was not a wall, not even a ruin
left standing! Every thing erected by man was
overthrown.
More than five thousand women, with rent
costumes and hearts lacerated, united In the
plaza of the city during that horrible night, and
on their bended knees raised their voices to
Heaven, petitioniDg for "Mercy for Mendoza" !"
and proclaimiDg. with the most heartrending
expressions, that if II was chastisement Of
Providence the women Of that people should be
absolved, for never had they advocated bar
barity, but had execrated from their souls
the assassins Of San Juan. It will be remem-
bered that the horrible massacre Of four hum
dred Of the citizens of the province Of San Juan
took place very recently, at which o large de-
tachment of troops from Mendoza assisted, and
subsequently united with the troops Of San Luil
in the sacking Of the city Of San Juan, much
J, OF its plunder finding its way to Mendoza.
To add to these horrors of desolation and woe
the Gauches from the suburbs entered the city
and commenced pillaging everything which
came on their track-losding horses and mulee
with the plunder which the earthquake had lef
: to their rapacious hands.
What remained OF the population Of Mendozi
retired to the public park, and there formed |
,, kind Of encampment; but on the 23d ult., sucl
was the infection produced by so many corpse
in putrefaction, that the Governor gave order
that all should desert that which once was th
city Of Mendozs.
I, The direction Of the earthquake was fron
;. west to east, from which IL is inferred that !
: must have been very strong In Chill. Som
q travellers who came from Chilli by the pass o
0 Uspallata, experienced an extraordinary violen
I commotion, followed by shower Of ashes.

Slaughtered Two Thousand Persons
fr. - r-4s.- i'm Africa. i, -.r. r-, Zoe

One Of the native missionaries, who witnessed
the "grand custom" of the King of Dahomey,
says that moro than 2, 900 male human beings
were slaughtered, and about as many females
and young children, besides enormous num-
bers of deer, turkey, buZzards and other fowl
In commercial point OF view, 1t has been pro-
ductive Of evil The West African Herald says:
1--WE learn that besides the terrible secrifce
Of human life caused by the Dahoman grand
CUSTOM it has also had the effect of, In great
measure, putting stop to trade in that part Of
the country. All the principal people have
been compelled to repair to the capital (Abo-
mey) and remain there TO Witness this custom.
In Wydah we understand there were, when
our informant left that town, few people but
women and slaves. The palm nuts were rot
ting on the trees; commerce and agriculture
we're languehing grievously. m % -t-fv~,
Among the King of DAhomey's army there iB
0 troop called the Amazon Guards., The West
African Herald thus describes them: "The
Amazon Guards, as they have sometimes been
styled, are the most extraordinary troop that We
have ever heard or read of. They are !, ,000Jin
number, all females, and display such degree
of ferocious bloodthiratiness and hardihood as
to bear greater resemblance to a host of mad
tigresses than to human creatures. They utter.
ly despiss deathj they show no mercy TO any
living being in war; they are mad after blood,
and seem not to know what fear means. They
are. in fact, troop of devils, SO to speak, whose
hideous yildness of manner, and the savage
madness of whose demeanor, in times of ex-
Oitement, is so appalling and inhuman as to
have led. many well judging persons to opine
that these dreadful creatures are periodically
subjected to the influence of some species OF
drug, which has this effect. The dress of the
Amazons consists of pair Of loose trousersand
upper garment covering the breast, and cap.
They are armed with a gun, knives and dag
gers; some have blundefbusses; Others long ele.
Thant guns, while the remainder carry the ordi.
nary muske. In their military exercises they
display good discipline, as well as wonderful
dexterity and agility.

Mining Matters.

From the ontonagon Miner, May 2o'l
In noticing the amount of copper produced by
our leading mines, it is but justice to state the
slight decrease in the amount raised at the Min.
nesota was not owing to want OF copper, but
to other unavoidable circumstances.
Mr. Roberts, of the Evergreen Bluff, Is now
engaged in preparations for stamping, and will
probably have the machinery in successful ope-
ration in time to add materially to the seasons
shipment. -
Mr.. Hays, of the Carp Lake. has made fly
ing trip to the mountains, and finds the daily in
creasing prospects, of the mine so much better
than was anticipated, that he will not only ad-
wise the continuance Of the work and the erec-
tion of the stamps this summer, but will urge an
increase in the mine force so soon as the stamps
are ready to run, and We have no hesitancy 10
saying that all reports from there justify the
confidence he expresses In the Importance, in
every respect, of this policy.
