sourHrss HEROES AxD rArRlors.

Whilst do not think, Mr.. Chairman, that
the whole people of the Southern States have
behaved well in this war, and done their duty
at home and on the field of battle, yet thereis
very large proportion of them who have won
immortal honors, and whose glory in war and
wisdom in council win illustrate many a
bright page in history. They have been un-
successful in their revolution, but this should
not and does not, detract from their heroic
gallantry on the field Of battle or their states
manship in the cabinet or halls of legislation.
They will be remembered and honored as he
roes and patriots, not only st the South, bnt
in the North too, rs soon as passion subsidies
and sober reason and calm reflection assume
their sway over the public mind
NORTHERN ATROCITIES.
/ cannot and would not, Mr.. Chairman, ask
my fellow citizens to forget the past in this
war so far as the North Is concerned. There
have been deeds Of attrocity committed by
the United States armies which never can be
forgotten in the Southern States. But ] do
entreat them to become loyal citizens, and
respect the national authorities of the re-
public.
All that is good Copperhead and secesh
doctrine, and will doubtless meet abundant
approval at their approaching State Conven-
ton in Iowa; but do the boys in blue who
fought to put down this rebellion proose tpo
ndorse these positions?

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-The approaching
change in our relations with China is discussed
with earnestness by the English press
The Shanghai correspondent of the London
Times states that hitherto the American Ma
tional representatives have been treated with
i'll concealed dislike, and in some instances
with contempt. He attributes this fact partly
from the absence of any American feet in
Chinese ws.ers, and partly to the habit e
making consuls out Of missionaries. But now
that the United States fleet is on the road to
China an extraordinary change is anticipated
in The diplomatic relations of the two countries.
The Times speculates as to whether the first
introduction of the American fleet will be of u
hostile character or not.
The American citizens of Burgoyne, for
whose restoration an imperative demand had
been made by the United States Consul, are
believed to have been either starved or exc.
cuted.
The Liverpool Post believes that in future
English chances in China will be considerably
| affected by American rivalry.
