Immense Trade ofChina.

A shanghae correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune writes
The opening of the Yang-tee River to
foreign trade last year has give a fresh
start to the business Of this port. Steam
vessels, built in the United States and
England, brought out in merchant vessels,
and here put together, now ply between
this port and Hankow. The latter has q
population of 100000, and is nearly 900
miles from the sea. Its trade is immense.
At Shanghae, the merchandize, both in
ward and outward changes conveyance
and the Custom-House duties are there
paid. The number Of arrivals Of ships
during the past year reached l,500, and
One-fourth were American. The river is
the Mississippi Of China, and drains as
fertile land as sun shines upon. Its banks
are lined with large towns and cities, and
the 7hele country back Is filled with peo-
pie who industriously till the soil They
labor eonstanfly-broken only, at long in
tervals, by some national holiday, in all
fifteen for every twelve moons. Their bills
of mortality are small when eOntrasted
with the large number living, and there is
a large return in the aggregate for their
labor. Economical in expenditure and al
ways producing, there is on hand at all
times Q surplus for trade, and right glad
. are they to avail themselves Of q customer.
If a Chinaman is overreached under clear
sky and on a fair field, not a murmur is
heard, but off to his Joss he chin-chins for
luckier trade the next time.

MORNING


81 PhilRdelphia Hospitals for the Woanded.
A correspondent Of the N. Y. Evening
Post gives sketch Of the hospitalsatPhii-
adelphia, from which we take this inter
o. esting extract:
The rooms in the hospital we're fIled
a. with the perfume Of flowers On every
little table lay a heap Of books and papers,
and frequently vases with elegant bou-
queis. The sheets and pilloW-cases were
white and clean as any one could wish.
Down stairs there is q piano. and some
times fine musical entertainments are
given for the poor fellows who drag
through the weary, HstleSs hours, thinking
l Of home and friends but unable TO reach
H. them.
.f.n The general receiving hospital has now
about four hundred inmates, who are all
doing we'll. The deaths average only about
two week. Four or Eve excellent physi-
clans are in attendanoe-Dr. William King
acting as Medical Director The days for
receiving visitors are Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays, from one tin FIVE o'clock
in the afternoon. I walked up to three
boys, spoke pleasantly, offered my hand
and inquired into their condition, Sever
~ ladies stopped short and stared at me In
Open-mouthed wonder Then, when I sat
down beside one Of them and sponged his
face, heard one Of them say, N.Y. isn't
s she afraid ~
No, wasn't afraid and il all Of my
sex were so, / fear that many poor fellows
would miss the tendercare they need. We
must not fear to touch them, TO speak to
them, to sooth and comfort them in their
loneliness and suffering, if we hope to aid
IN the cause OF humanity and our country.
And here let nae suggest to those who are
ignorant Of what ii is in their power 10
3 do that they may battle a fevered face,
I brush the hair from an aching brow, pre-
pare piece Of toast nicely, and a cup Of
i Tea, or carry some fruits or other delica-
eies to tempt an appetite too weak for
s. coarse and more substantial food
There are thousand things that woman
can do 10 give relief to the soldiers. Many
wis h letters written to friends that they
are too weak to pen you can write for
them, at their dictation. You can speak
o. kindly and pleasantly 10 them of things
which viii win their thoughts FROM sor-
rows they may have, and make yourselves
the blessing which God designed that wo-
man should be to man. Why should we
fear to approach them in suffering, or fear
to speak to them freely and kindly, be-
cause their position in life is different
and, perhaps, their manners coarse and
rough

man and beast, while there is plenty here
belonging TO the rebels in arms, carefully
guarded by Gun own men, but no one per
mitted to take particle do know where
there is cOmmissRry store belonging TO
the rebels, very near our late camping
ground, with corn, bacon, Sc, which otIr
eommissaries were not permitted TO touch,
: but which was carefully guarded by our
own soldiers while our own division was
in great danger Of mutiny BY reason Of
starvation Rebel corn can be procured
here IN abundance, and also bacon, flour,
Sc. let our orders are that it shall moi
be touched
Now, IL / were in my own sweet home
and should read Of such warfare here in
this hot-bed Of treason, would not believe
It. But am here, and see il for myself
and affirm that it is true Nor is this all
believe that the 100 rebel prisoners con-
fined here are now better fed and cared
fer than our own brave soldiers. Almost
every rebel house in Front Royal is guard
ed BY our soldiers, while the inmates freely
express their contempt for our Government
and some Of them demand nothing less
than gold and silver, and enormous prices,
for their bread and meat.
In word, everything that can be done
df6r the benefit and comfort of our enemies
seems to be done, while our own soldiers
must put up with what they get, which is
about half rations little or no shelter, and
forced marches through storm and mud,
day and night.
Isn'tit patriotic to endure all this} Do
our military authorities at Washington
know these facts2 I am free to say, for
myself that / am getting tired Of such
warfare. Let US fight the rebels in earnest.
This is all we ask. If we are only to feed,
aid, encourage and protect them,and starve
ourselves, then, for Gods sake let us 60
home. r. H. E.
