A correspondent of the World in Shan
ghi, China, gives the particulars the muir
der Of the two American Missionaries, near
Chifoo, small harbor or the Chinese
coast, in about 81 degrees, N. latitude
In that part of the empire there are large
organized bands of men, known as "local
filchers," (highway robbers,) who live by
plunder, and whom the feeble government
|of the Emperoris entirely unable to subdue.
The murdered gentlemen were the Rev.
H. M. Parker, Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and Rev. ]. L. Holmes, of tho
Southern Babtist Convention, both young
men in the full vigor of manhood. They
had been in China about three years, but
had resided at Chifoo but about two months
when they were killed. The robbers had
approached within a short distance Of the
Village, when on Sunday Oct 6tb, the Mis-
sionaries, mounted on fleet horses, and ar
med with revolvers, started out for the pur.
pose Of procuring an interview with the
robber chiefs, and il possible to deter then
from robbing the place. This was the las
seen Of them alive by their friends. Th'
robbers were finally driven off by forc'
from the English and French ships, whel
the bodies Of The Missionaries were founC
badly mutilated, thirty miles from Chifoo
and brought in and inferred on an island il
the harbor on Wednesday, Oct. 10th.

paper Of Richmond, Va. II shows so much
more coolness Of Judgment aud eandor Of
mind than We are ID tho habit offnding in
our Southern exchanges that We deem IL
worthy Of special notice. Itsays the South
has mAde at least eight great blandess, and
enumerates them as follows:
4. In firing upon' Fort Sumter.
2. 1n believing there would be divided
North and an apathetic Federal Govern
rnerf.
s, In believing that they would have
the hearty sympathies Of Europe.
4. In believing that the bonds Of Their
Ccpfederacy would readily be taken in
Europe. aa
5. In believing that the military power
of the North would be directed 10 4 cru
sade against slavery, rather them employed
orthe overthrow Of treason, and the esiab-
Iisbnent Of the Union aud the Consultation
8, IN believing that Northern courage
and physique were no match for Southern

five Yankees.

A large apartment was thrown opeI

to the Sub-treasury, with draft for a large

turn him loose nights; il you want him to

after dark. Too much restraint upon boys

other liberty you give your son, let bis eve

some innocent home amusement. Seven

Of such Tecklessness in parents.

BEN WADE AND THE PREsIDENr.-Be Ben
Wade, the chairman Of the joint committee
to inquire into the conduct of the war, is
reported to be very uneasy and not at all
satisfied with the progress Of the war. He
does not give hint Of what passes in COM
mittee, but it is easy to perceive that he is
not in a pleasant frame Of mind. In en-
deavoring TO get President Lincoln 10 look
at our troubles in sober manner the other
day he became discouraged Mr.. Lincoln
laughed at him, or told a pleasant story in
reply to Mr.. Wade's bad predictions (so
the story goes) until the Ohio Senator drew

on the colt, mounted tho latter, and was

A PREkcHER's ADvIoE.--Lorenzo Dow
once closed a discourse with the following
language, which is as singular for its quaint
ness as practical in its advice :--'1 want
you, my young sinners, to kiss aud get mar
ried, and devote your time TO morality
and money making. Then lot your home
be provided With such necessaries and com
forss As piety, pickles, pots and kettles,
brushes, bFooms, aud benevolence, bread
virtue, wine and wisdom. Have these
always on hand, and happiness will be with
you. Do not drink sHything intoxicating
eat moderately, 60 aboua business after
breakfast, lounge little after dinner, chat
after tea, and kiss after quarlihg. Then all
the joy, the peace, and bliss this earth car
afford, shall DO yours until the grave chooses
over you, and your spirits are borne TO 8
brighter and happier world"

Eruption of vesuvius Terrific Scene.

NAPLES, Dec 2s.-The destruction of a
city which has numbered $4,000 inhabi-
tants is so startling fact that trust l
shall not weary you by sending some sta
tistics which l have this week gathered on
the spot. Covered with snow, vomiting
ashes still like ten thousand horse power
factory chimney, with ruined city lying at
its feet, such is the spectacle which Vesu-
vius at this moment presents. Unable to
restrain my curiosity to know what was
passing behind the clouds Of ashes which
intervened between us and the mountain, l
went down again on Tuesday last, and di-
rected myself to the committee who had
been sitting in permaneuce since the 9th
inst The municipal building, a fine old
historical edifice of the time Of the ARA
gons, had been destroyed, so that the COM
mittee was sitting in suppressed monas-
terry on the outskirts of the town, and not
on the bed Of old lava. The cloistcrs and
the stairs were filed with squalid misery
which had come there for relief and the
Syndic and his co oadjutors, to whose court
esy I am much indebted, gave me the fol
lowing information: Out of population
of 81, 900, $4,000 are fugitives. Between
so and go houses have already fallen, and
$50 are falling, the rest are more or lesi
injured. Out Of IL churches four only are
uniDjured; but there is another fearful
source Of dangcr-the sulphureous exhala
tions which are emitted in every direction
and which render houses in other respect
comparatively safe uninhabitable. BY thes'
exhalations, five or six persons, and all tn
animals, such as cats, dogs, mice and birds
and the fishes in the sea, have already beel
killed. In fact, two-thirds of tho city hav'
been destroyed.
