Several populsas districts IN Asia ksss
been reduced to 8 condition Of rsissry al
most inconceivsble, by the eoitiaranco Of
the war between tho Inperialsts and Tsiu-
inss. Such is the extreme destitutisn that
in some places the people are driven to the
terrible resort Of feeding Oh each others flesh.
The Shanghai &psisy List" has the fol-
loving:
A corresp.adenS writing from Gosdon'a
heasouarters, on the way to Chau Chow,
mentions tla the slaughter Imong the rebels
after the capturo Of Hswosos, which we re-
ported in oer pspsr on tho 18th, was terk-
81. UpssrSY Of sins thsnsspa we're taken
nr;aoners. and of these, tits estimated that
,ir thoussnd were killed or drowned, prinei-
nally bY The In,psrialists. They were bold
rebels. and richly deserved their fate for the
diabolical cruelty they had prpcticed during
their present raid. In one village only eigh'
ty inhabitants we're butchered, because they
had nulled away wooden bridges which the
rsbe}s happened to rcqsire. During the pur-
suit the bodies of villagers, whose throata
were cut because ihey wore unabc to keep
up with their captors. we're found at frequent
intervals. Tho villagers followed up the
Imperial troops and ferreted out robels who
lad escaped notice by hiding, stripped them
and bambooed them, after which they were
allowed to 60 free. :.
chnuarbow. about half a mile frcm tho city,
are sr.- rsares Of lines, amidst whias, seeking
what they can pick up frsm the lmperalists,
are hundreds Of gaunt, wretched people, dy,-
ing with hunger and disease, horrible and

weak and Indifferent to bury the dead, the
bodies I rsmaia where they fall, and decompose
in The road, unless eaten by the dogs: We

: Frem gentlemen who left the vicinity OF

that on that night Captains Barnwell and
Woffcri, Of Col. Bakers Regiment-rocently
organized in that section--attacked party
of Yankee scouts on the Spring Place Road,
near Dalton, and captured some seventy
prisoners, .eveateea horses, and forty or fifty
stand of arms. Oar informant, vho'e Veraci-
tv is vopched for By scvera! gentlemen ofthis
city, vas in the fight himself.
The prisoaers aptured report two brig
adss of infantry at that post, but represent
much dissatisfaction among the Kentucky
troops, on acsount of being deprived of q
Vote in the recent Presidential election. A
zaiori!y OF the troops there are said to be
Ksntuckians.
|. he contradicts tho report of the capture OF
Chattanooga, hy Gan. Breckinridse, but says
the road from Chattanooga to Nashville is
completely destroyed.
Our cavalry, while compelling the Yanks
70 remain in Dalton, are doing the ciHzens
much injury by stealing their stock and sub
sistsnee.
PRassav1so BuTTzR.- hefarmsrs Of Aber-
deem, Scotland, are said to practice the fol-
lowing method for curing their butter, which
givelit q great superiority over that OF their
nIghbors: ;.
Stake Two quarts Of best common salt,
one ounce ofsugar, and one Of sallpetrs take
one ounce of this composition fer one ponnd
of butter, work well into the mass and close
it up fer use. The butter cured with this
mixture appear. of rich and marrowy CUB
stance md Of fiae color, and acquires little
hardness. Or Andersonsays: have eaten
the butter cured with this compound that has
been kept for four years, and it was.a sweet
az at 6rst. It must be. notsS, however that
butter that is to be cured requires to stand
three weeks or mouth before it is used. If
it is sooner opened, the salt is not sufficient
" blended with it, and sometimes the cool
ness of the nitro will be perceived, which
totally disappears afterwards"
