ACbInesc Marriage in High Lie.

Sacramento street shove Kesrney, was
sill sgog last night. Old John, young John,
and Johnee were around and lively,
crackers were blazing like Fourth of July,
or Chinese New Years's, and to the most
oursory observer it was evident that some
thing unusual was going on among the
representatives Of the Celesti Empire in
San Francisco. On inquiry we learned
that the cause Of all this unwonted rejoic-
ing and excitement was the marriage of
MIR. Tom Quan, of the firm of Hong, Yuen
s. Co, to Miss Lay Nine, a little-footed
daughter Of one Of the first families of
China, who arrived by the Cornelis day
or two since. The bride was sent cut by
her parents, who, as usual in such
cases, negotiated the match, and
never saw her present hege lord
until last night or ever caught q
glimpse Of the outside barbarian city in
which she is hereafter to reside, having
been brought ashore in covered chair,
and conveyed to her apartments with the
greatest precautions against her seeing or
being seen by anybody. The wedding
ceremony was performed according to the
Chinese custom, and also by magistrate
according to the statutes of the State Of
California. The Chinese merchants of the
city furnished sumptous wedding dinner
last evening, to which large number of
guests sat down, and the couple we're the
recipients Of numerous presents from the
friends of the bridegroom. The ceremonies
terminated in a frecracker blowout, Ia
mode de Chine. This is said to be the second
or third marriage Of the higher mercantile
Chinese that has ever taken place in
California. The bride has srtifcislly
dwarfted feet, and is said to be 8 pearl Of
beauty. according to the definition Of the
term generally accepted in MOngOlisn
lauos.-Alta Californian.

A Fremont Convention in Cleveland.
Tho New Nation Of last Saturday con
tains an important announcement to the
effect that the friends Of General Fremont
are to hold Convention in Cleveland on
the 21st Of May. It calls upon all men
aai1o Of minds like its own to hold township
Conventions, &C., thereby "telling the gem
-. tlemen that the friends Of Fremont are
va big enough to take care Of themselves snd
or that they intend choosing for themselves" /"
The'NeW Nation advises every one at
cnce to give up sll idea Of taking part in
fbe Baltimore Convention"
The people in. the mesntims are invited
to enter upon an incssssnt prOpagandism
from man to man, tending to convince the
people that they must rely on themselves
.ol and themselves alone, that they should
lsarn to know their true friends, that is
70 say, the men mOst firmly opposed to
o old organizations, such ss the Baltimore
Convention, and old parties, but above all,
opposed to the politicians"
All this il will be seen is for the pur-
POI. pose eofmsuufscturing Of Fremont capital. We
would like to inform the few deIuded men
NY. City who are managing this af-
fair, that they sre very much mistaken if
~ they attempt to disOrgsnise the Union
party. Fhs Convention is to be held here
in Cleveland, where as strong a radical
feeling on the war exists as can be found
anywhere. But we venture the predio
tion that this disorgsnizing scheme will
meet with but little sYmpsthy from the
people Of these parts. This reckless aud
audacious movement which threstens tC
pursue its own purposes, without refer.
enee to the interests Of the country 81
large, unmasks its entire character 1t
Is not simply grand Convention to deep.
en- and encourage the radical feeling Of the
1. country with which we could heartily sym,
! pstbi1e, but it is to be an attempt by few
men, to foist candidate upon the country
without reference to the wishes Of the 10y
81 people Of the North.
This movement is predicsted upon the
r. bRseless assumption that the war could be
ended Immediately by some other man
better than by Grant, snd that the slavery
question could receive more immediate
and more radical solution than it is now
receiving from Abraham Lincoln. The
mistake made by these extremists is
that great revolution like that now 60
- ing forward can be accomplished in the
tWinkling Of aneye; that nation should
run and jump to the perfect state, instead
80 Of slowly, but certainly, completing 8
fundamental change.
II General Fremont is lending himself
to the work Of disOrganizstiOD, as he must
10 be, then he no longer will occupy the posi-
'-3i ton in the minds Of the American people
he once occupied. The entire strength of
lrz de Union men must Be combined ia order to

The New York News LecturIng Demo-
cratic Brethren AT the sOnth.
We are pleased to see this notorious
sympstSizer with the rebellion lesturing
its friends on Miscegenstion. The Demo
cratic miscegens of the South will do well
to listen to these extracts:
ave assert then, broadly and distinctly,
that miscegenstion, or the mixture OF the
African sad Caucasian races, is an impi-
GUS attempt 10 thwsrt the plan and pur-
poses of Heaven in the creation Of man
that God has put his veto upon it by es-
tsblishing the law, in obedience to which
outraged and indignant nature rebels,
and opposes miscegenstion from the out
set, and il it be persisted in by man, be-
yond certain and not distant point,
stops the impiety b. absolute Peremptory
interdiction.
"God has forbidden the propagation Of
the hybrid brood. The command to in.
crease and multiply, and replenish the
earth, was not meant for it. God did not
make the mulstto. II is an invention Of
mans, and is produced only by the desc
Grafton and destruction Of two admirable
and perfect creations Of Gods wisdom
and handiWork. The mulstto is 3 bias
phemy"
This is really quite entertaining. Here
tOfOre it has been supposed that amalga
nation was very popular with the Demo
cratic miscegens.

troduced q most refreshing variety to tue

/ have also introduced several dances that
must become the rage. One Of them is th'
Rsocoon dance. II has been said that th'
Jerusalem srtichOIe is SO called because
it doesn't come from Jerusalem and ism
an srtichoke. In the same way the Rae
coon dance, perhaps, has that name be
cause it isn't dance exsctly and hasn't
any rsccoon in it. Our knowledge Of the
Indian language is so slight that We
couldn't see what the rsecoon had to dc
with the performance bat it was, never.
theless, performance full Of life and
spirit and with wild, natural music, and
rythm wonderfully attractive. The In
dians, it is ssid, perform so often in the
day and night that the Fair to them is by
no means a matter Of joking. They are
well kept however, and eat plenty Of
tripe, even on Friday.

Appalling Disaster in NewYOFk Harbor---
Explosion of n Boiler on board the Guu-
boar ChenangO---3O other Crew Terribly
scaIded'
A frightful explosion took place on Fri
day afternoon, in New York Bay. Hard
ly two hours had passed after the gunbOat
Chenango had left the Navy Yard, before
fearful explosion took place. Thirty
three men were severely scalded. They
were taken to the Marine Hospital.
The following is description of the
scene at the Hospital.
About thirty noble men, in all stages Of
suffering and torture, we're lying out
stretched upon beds, theiE-he1 raw
mass Of burning fesh-some screaming in
intease agony, others moaning pihfully,
while others were quiet and subdued, their
blackened and swollen faces show plainly
the acute suffering within As soon as
they arrived they we're bsthed in oil and
lime water, and covered with a copious
covering Of -four, which kept the air from
the raw flesh Everything that medical
skill and science could afford was done for
the poor unfortunates Seldom does one
witness such hesrtrending scene. Men
who but q few short hours before were en-
joying all that makes life happy, we're
now but mess of living fire and agony.
The cries of some of them were terrible.
Some had lost their reason in consequence
Of this excrucisting suffering they were
undergoing. Others were hurriedly and
fesbly drawing their last life-bresth. One
lay q corpse, having died in being trans
fered from the Navy Yard to the hospital
We noticed one mans head which was so
swollen that it might have been taken for
the head of an enormous giant. One
poor fellow, landsmsn, uncomplainingly
said to us, "Why did Heaven send such
calamity upon us ? had just shipped.
What, oh what, will my poor mother say?H
Scarcely any Of them could talk much-in
fact 50 little that it was impossible to get
any reliable particulars Of this sad acci-
dent. One young man told US that the
vessel was terribly shattered, the spar
deck as well as the hurricane deck being
torn to fragments over the boiler. Futher
than this little could be learned. Scarce
ly man could be found that could tell
the names Of half dozen persons on board
the ship at the time Of the disaster, owing
to the fact that the vessel had but recently
been put in commission, snd they had not
become acquainted.
