a Ioulon letter furnishes the following par
ueulars III relation to the recent massacre of
French Missionaries in Corea:
Important news has been circulating here
on the subject of events in the China and ap-
an. seas The French Government, entirely
disappearing of any attempt OF an expedition
against the kingdom OF Corea, directed Rear
Admiral hoze to undertake nothing until furth-
er orders as the massacre OF the French Mis-
slonaries required an exemplary chastisement
winch would be better deferred to a more on
Fortune moment. Vengeance, though tardy
would only be more terrible on that account.
There was an objection to engage in hazard
GUS operation before obtaining full KNOWLEDGE
OF the approaches ami resisting power of that
mysterious country. The prudenu provisions of
the Government are IN some sort confined by
the last dispatches. Admiral Roze having pen
etrated INTO tue sea OF Corea, Astounding in
dangerous shoals, was for a moment compro-
missed and threatened with great disaster:
Obliged to lie continually casting the lead in
the waters where the tides are subject to varia-
lions OF some 30 to 40 ieet every "A hours he
found himself at last stranded on coral reefs
with all his little hotilla, consisting of the
steam corvette Primauguet and several
small gunDoats. 4 catastrophe appeared i'm
lninent, when high tide f1oated the vessels
and enabled them to emerge from their danger
Gus position. After this escape, the French
squadron, trusting to the map of Commander
tuerln, as being entirely correct, made way to-
Wara Tie mouth of river indicated as one of
the principal outlets OF the capital of Corea-
Ascending the stream very slowly, they reach
ed, at four leagues from its mouth a large vii
lage, where astrong body of armed men were
occupied in constructing w,irs. After some
frultiess attempts at conference, the Admiral
seeing that his presence caused no cessation OF
the work, destroyed the stockade by cannon
shot, and Tired grape into the hostile corps d.
armee, which took TO flight in every direction.
During this short engagement il was remarked
that the Corean troops marched laref. bed,
ana that the greater part of the soldiers Were
armed with bows and arrows and carried pixies.

typographical reconnaissance to facilitate ute
nor operations, has left these inhospitable
shores s 9oJoin his main squadron in the China

From Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Jan, /.


TO THE EDITOR or THE PRESS:
The western members of the Legislature are
generally here as usual, there is much canvas
sing in regard to the organization OF both
branches. Lewis Barker of Stetson seems to
be the probable candidate for Speaker. He has
formed many acquaintance during his service
es on the stump, who are inclined to support
him. The Presidency of the Senate is still
debateable question. Woodman appears to be
general favorite and is unquestionably popu-
lar with all the Senators but there is wish that
his services could be had on the floor and OH
important committees, where his talents would
be more useful, consequently the present
probability is, that either Porter of Penobscot
or Burpee of Knox, will be the successful can
didate. Burpee has larger strength than has
been generally supposed, and his friends are
confident that he will win. Gen. Hersey would
undoubtedly receive majority of votes if he
was candidate.
The attendance here is large, many promin-
ent politicians and military men are noticed
among the crowd, Gen. Perry, Gen. Virgin.
Col. Rust, Col Smith, Marble of Waldobor-
ough, Simonton of Camden and Geo. Pierce of
Harrison &C., sc. Several wounded soldiers
are here as applicants for places as messengers
and it is the general wish TO give these places
to such applicants. Caucus tonight In the
meantime the excitement increases. The Au-
gusta House is full, and the eastern train will
add to the crowd. Gen. Chamberlain has TAX
en- rooms at the Augusta House and appears in
good health.
jeff Southland who was a delegate to the
Philadelphia Convention is candidate for
councillor for Sagadahoc county. He has gone
"round the circle" and says that he is all right,

IHE GREAT ExCITE5IENT-Th excitement
into which the Hub was thrown on Monday
by the discovery of dead bodies on board a
Philadelphia steamer, is cleared up by the fact
that they belonged to New England Medical
Institution, and were on their way thither,
having been legitimately obtained. The care
iessness of the packer caused the boxes to
burst open, and hence the fear of murders,
robbery, &c. which agitated the good people of
Boston, Their fears are quieted by this time.

A SURPRISE Our friend c. P Kimball,
Esq, is man that is not easily taken by sur
prise or disconnected. But he was taken all
aback on Monday evening when the employ
ees of his establishment entered his office and
presented him with an elegant silver tea-ser-
vice, as token of their esteem for him as a
man and their regard for hin, as their employer.
The gift was so entirely unexpected that he
could not for few moments collect his scat
tered thoughts and express his thanks for such
handsome and unexpected gift. A pleasant
time was then passed by employer and en-
ployee, showing the good feelings that natur-
ally existed.
