May u, writes as follows;
The civil war here is raging iearrulIy.
Every day brings to our ears some tale
of slaughter, and the smoke Of burning
towns and villages is constantly rising in
our sight. The Yankee Colonel Ward
is the Impcrialist General, and he is do
ing wonders, lie is already a great man
in China, AMI the Chinese almost wor-
ship him. The only national protection
which Americans have now in China is
Wards nationality.

Fnc Great Rebellion YgUst bc A'Igi
Down, and iilat Speedily.

There is no time to be lost, since Lin
coin has called Tor men enough to do up
! the work in earnest, and since he has re
! fused the Aboitionis.s every request to
arm negroes aad given them to understand
that he intends to bring the whole power
Of the government to crush out rebellion,
regardless of negroes, aboIltlonlsts or Sc
ccSsioni,t. The nation is rising to the
loltiest pitch of patriotism; the young
men are ralIying around the old flag by
hundreds Of thousands. Fimne5s and
energy for the one great end on the part
Of Lincoln and the administration, will
unto every loyal man in the nation.
We expect the aboitionists, the real
negro lovers, those who are pressing Lin
coin to violate the Constitution, ana turn
the war into emancipation, will turn the
cold shoulder against tho great Union
movement Of the true national men. They
/ have strengthened jeff Davis all the time,
and may do it STILL unless Stanton's or
dcrs scare them out Of it. These loud
moulhel war men, rs long as they could
see any chance to fight for negroes, are
growing cold and indifferent as they sec
their darling schemes played ont. Ih,

} white men. No time can now be lost ~
I |quaIelling over the nogroe he Is played
out, aud with him his beloved followers
and the great question Of maintaining the
: supremacy OF the Constitution and the
Union, and crushing ont rebellion comes
home directly to every man,
