ROMANCE In REAL
LIFE.
An American Prester John-A New York
Sailor Ruling Chinese CEty-Lffe and
Property subject to His Wtil. s

From the New Yerk Evening Post. M
The latest advices from China, inform us,
through the medium of private letters, of the
unprecedented career in that country of a
young American, of this State, who, though
but twenty-nine years of age, has reached q
position which reminds one of the dim legend
of Prester John. Here is a brief recountaI Of
the story of adventure:
About twelve years ago Edward Forester,
country lad, born in Jefferson county, in this
State, decided, like a great many other boys,
to go to sea. His friends opposed the idea,
but, of course the love of ocean life was too
strong to be resisted, and the young Forester
joined those who ''go down to the sea in ships"
He was successful, and soon became the mate
Of whaling ship though then scarcely be-
yond his msiority.
In Honolulu Forester made the aequain-
lance of merchant of Heckodadi, and went
with him to japan. Here he remained two or
three years, engaged in commercial pursuits.
Thence he went 10 China, where he was taken
into the imperial service. he became popular
both with the foreigners and native authorities
at Shanghai, and was finally made second in
command to Gen. Ward, in place of Col.
Mnrgiyen, who was severely wounded in some
recent engagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor con-
tinued to be much liked, and now enjoys the
confidence of all the Mandarins in the province,
and is admitted to their confidence, as we'll as
to the highest and most exclusive Chinese
society. At one time Forester led band of
two hundred men against the rebels, only nine
of them returning, the rest having been ali
killed. He has now twenty thousand troops
under his command.
For his services he has been made Manda-
rim of the Blue Butten, and his name stands
high in Pekin. His rank obliges him to keep
at least twelve servants. The latest letters re-
ceived from him Ito May lst) state that he is
in command of the city of Soungkai1g; sleeps
with the city keys under his pillow; while not
one of the two hundred Thousand inhabitants
of the place-not even the highest Mandarin
can enter or leave without his permission,
| and at word from him any individual out OF
that two hundred thousand may lose his head
Mr.. Forester enjoys also the friendship OF
Admiral Hope, General Michel and the other
English and French officers in China Admi-
raj Hope he reports as severely wounded in q
recent fight.
On the lst Of May the English, French and
Imperialists troops were preparing to attack
Chingfoo, of which Forester will be made Mil.
iGary Governor. He predicts the removal OF
deposing Of the so-cailed Heavenly Emperor
within year.
Such is tt brief and brilliant cal eer in the
East of nuine specimen of Young Amer.
lea. The American Mandarin has friends and
relatives living in this city, as well as in the
northern part of the State, who will learn with
| establishment and pleasure OF his influence anC
power IN far-off lends.

A CHANGE OF POLITICAL OPINIoEs.-The
Secessionists are beginning to see the fatal
error into which they have fallen-to realize
the folly of despised heresy, and are repent
ing of their many heinous sins, and are re-
turning to the standard of the good old faith.
Come back, ye repentants, and ye shall be
saved. We met yesterday on the street an
old acquaintance, who stated to us that he was
few days ago converted from Secessionism
zealously advocating the Union cause. We
told him the day was coming when all seces-
sionists would repent of having attempted to
overthrow the best Government among the
nations of earth.

What Does IL nsnna

Ehe Richmond EXAMINER Of the 23d, in a
leading editorial on the conduct of the war,
uses the following significant language respect
ing our armies falling back frem the Chicka-
hominy. The Eransiner says:
Those consequences are not only military,
bat civil-nstional. They are decentralization
and disorganization, out of which the army
and the country will endeavor to save itself by
a new creation of rulers and leaders; adding
thus to all our calamities and difficulties, that
of resolution.
In the same issue of that paper is long
article from the Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser
from which we extract the following:
We are yet strong enough to be free, if we
maintain the freedom of speech and of the
press. Our government must be made to feel
that we are the principal and it the agent.
But this cannot be done while Congress sits
with closed doors, and the President continues
to have no respect Tor the opinions of the PEG.
pie. Our men will, of course, refuse to lead
as long as they are closeted, SO as to be able to
ges no response from their constituents. Sc
crecy is the vitalizing element of little minds.
1t dwarfs great men to the smallest standard.
Perhaps, if the Provisional Congress had con-
descended to expose the inefhciency of Mr..
Davis by public sessions we would to-day have
vigorous and far-seeing Executive. AS it is,
weare committed for six years.
There is, however, widespread indication
that the people are becoming thorough
united in the opposition, and whenever
this feeling reaches crisis the present admin
istration may ind it wise to give way to men
who have the mind and nerve for the times.

STATE RIGHTS.

There is no 6elusion among the southern
people more Widespread and ruinous than
that respecting the subject of State rights.
They claim that the North believes in central
izing power in the hands of Congress, in
taking it away from the free, sovereign and
Independent States, until their sovereignty is
gone altogether; that the South, on the other
hand, is Jeffersonian, and not Hamiltonian-
that her theory is Democratic rather than
Federal.
But how does the case stand before the
world Who was it that favored the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, and rallied their energies and
their numbers to enact it? We're they not
mainly southern politicians Of the school of
CALHOUN? Who was it that objected with
the greatest warmth to the bill as it was finally
adopted Were they not northern men?
And was not this the argument which had
more weight with conservative minds than all
Others: If a faction in the government insist
upon Congress so administering the Constitu-
ton as to override and trample down State
rights, who knows how soon the knell of all
our liberties may be sounded But sectional
men, under partisan impulses, were unwilling
10 adjust the bill so as to make it less Federal
and more Democratic. For once they turned
away from the shrine of JEFFERSON, and wor-
SHIPPED en- plGsse at he shrine of HAMILTON.
But This is only one specimen of their in
consistency. Il is illustrated ten thousand
times and in uost impressive ways through
the whole history Of the rebellion.
We are for State rights. We love to pro-
tect State rights, and to see them protected
bow deceitful these traitors were How
false How perjured Look at Kentucky.
By overwhelming majorities again and again,
her people voted that they would remain in
the Union. They acted according to their
privilege and duty. After such decision
solenanly ratified By the people, according to
the Constitution, and in the name of the Great
Ruler Of Rulers where 60 we find HUMPHREY
MARSHAL, and JOHN @. BREcKINRIDGE, and
Gen. BUcKNER? Are not such men arrant
hypoerites and perjured trsitors2 After all
their boasting what do they care for the State
rights of Kentucky, when those rights seem
to stand in the way OF their overweening am
bitiOn2 Cannot the same indictment be drawn
up against GLAZE. JACKSON, and Gen. PRICE,
and every marauder in Missouri, or in Mary
land and in Western Virginia
The people have been dsluded by those who
pushed themselves forward as their champions
and best friends, but whom sooner or later
they viii discover to be the betrsyers of all
their rights and liberties.

THE FATE OF THE ARKANSAS.

The Grenada appeal of the 9Th contains the
following kilograms:
Dispatches Of John C. Breckenridge to General
Van Dorm:
The Arkansas lay, with her machinery in
jured, five miles above town, on the opposite
bank of the river, all day yesterday. Her
commander sent me word last evening that he
would try and get up the river, and he asks
that, if possible, you send boat to aid him.
From the report to me, she is permanently
unserviceable.
The second dispatch:
ANTE RIVER, August 6.--About o'clock
this day the Federal gunboats attacked the
Confederate ram Arkansas. The messenger
tells me she fought them well for some time,
inficting great deal of damage. She was
then blown up by the crew, and the messenger
thinks all escaped. el

over. Illinois and Ohio are net far behind
her. The Eastern and Middle States have

enrolling, and the 300, 600 militia ordered to
the field, let the loyal States lie called on to
organize their whole force for active service,
and thus to hold at least a million men in
readiness for the possible contingencies of the
immediate future. Probably not man of this
force would ever be required. But the very
fact of the embodiment and organization of
such a force would have very great moral
weight on the fortunes of the country. The
knowledge that power so enormous stood
ready clad in full armor, its banners waving
and its heart leaping for active service against
the country's foes, would be of itself eq iiva-
lent to brilliant victory.
