1t is reported that the French have annexed
three provinces in Cochin China. They have
been for several years in possession of the
three Provinces of Bien-Hoa Mytho and Cha
duh, with an aggregate area of 2,2380OO hec-
tares, and a population of 100000, and have
obtained more recently a protectOrate over
three other provinces. The dispatch probably
means the entire incorporation of the latter
provinces with the French dominions. Cochin
China is one of those Asiatc countries in which
the Catholic Church has for more than a cen
fury been firmly established, and where its
rapid growth has only been checked by bloody
prosecutions In such country, France has a
good prospect of success, and is likely to render
greater services to civilization than she has
done in Mexico.

1t appears from the letter of our special cor
respondent at Hong Kong, published yester-
day, that there is still some uncertainty as to
the fate of the crew of the American bark
Rover, who fell into the hands of the savages
of Formosa last March. OF the fourteen per-
sons on board, one escaped, and nine are
known to have been killed. The others, in
Guiding the captains wife, may be still in the
hands of the natives. The Chinese Governor
of the island when appealed to by the Ameri-
can Consul at Annoy, declined taking any ac-
ton in the matter, because he said he knew
they had all been murdered. The savages are
not subject to Chinese authority, and it is
quite possible that the Governor only lied to
save himself trouble-a thing which Chinese
Governors have been known sometimes to do.
At any rate, we take it for granted that our
Government is not going to let the matter
rest as il is

A private in the Regular Army writes ma from
Idaho to complain of the manner in which
soldiers are discharged from the service At tbs
end of their terM Of enlistment. BY the army
regulations the Government is bound to furnish
them travelling pay and Communication of rations
back to the place where they enlisted. Our
CORRESPONDENT, and many of his comrades, en-
listed in New-YOrk. Their time will soon ex-
pre. All they get to pay their fare home is
S145 in currency Gncluding communication Of
rations), Just about enough to take them one
third Of the way across the Plains. Of course
they cannot travel on the Plains a-fOot, espe-
cially as they do not retain their arms when
they leave the service. The only conveyance
is the Overland stage, the fare by which from
Boise City Idaho, to the nearest Pacific Rail
way station, is something like $500. To get
from Idaho to New York by the cheapest route
costs, at the very least, $3.50. The result Of
this is that, unless a soldier has been fortunate
enough to save great deal of his pay, he must
either reenlst or settle in the mining regions,
where, perhaps, he does not want to live, and
where the chances are all against his success.
Moreover, the paymaster visits those remote
posts only twice year Though the army reg
uatiOns require that every regiment Shall %
paid at least as often as once in two months
if possible), so that the men are frequently
Obliged to sell their claims at a heavy dis
count 1t is pretty hard to save much out OK
a soldiers pay under these circumstances.
There is manifest injustice in this action OF
the Pay Department, though, we suppose, it is
strictly according to the law. Travelling pay is
computed by the mile; but what is enough i'll
the States is not enough in the Territories;
and if the law is so worded that veterans who
have served out their time in fighting against
the savages are utterly unable to get home
after they have been hOnorably discharged,
then Congress, as soon as it meets again, must
be appealed to, and the law must be changed
The best way would probably be to authorize
the Government to furnish transportation to
discharged soldiers, by making arrangements
with railway, steamboat and coach lines, when
ever the soldiers prefer that to the regular al
lowance of money.

MEN'S GR1NDEiTHER.S.

Is there any such thing rs pure narration in
History Does the world want it? or wanting
it, does it get iti There are many Histories
of England, but is there One-Whig Tory
Protestant, or Catholic-which is not colored by
the views of its writcrs7 Hume, Macintosh,
Fox, Macaulay, brilliant, learned, and enter
tanning as they are, are also respectively the
advocates of parties and opinions. Gbbon cared
less for the Decline of Rome than for the
Downfall of Christianity. Annals and Memoirs
are no better, and are sometimes tainted by
prejudice, or spoiled by errors of observation,
or full of personal griefs. The intirmities of
human action are complicated by the obliqui
ties of human vision. 1t is n remarkable
feature of modern letters that few great
historical works have appeared in our day
which have not been made the sub
ject of fierce and prolonged contro-
versy. Now it is the narrative which is brought
to bar, and now the philosophy As the histo-
ran approaches his own time, he is ambuscaded

the last victim of this absurd and childish
method of criticism. We have so long taken 1t
| for granted that all the men who figure III our
revolutionary period were utterly without
fault, and incapable OF being Influenced by
other than public and patriotic motives, that 1t
seems like sacrilege to disturb such well-settled
and orthodox notions. The answer is that hui
man nature is always the same, and that men
were quite as likely to be selfish, or preju-
diced, or to have the usual assortment OF
fats in 177G MS at the present time. III

The bad practice which is so fast gaining
ground in our colleges of giving or selling
honorary degrees to people who have no claim
TO them. was sharply rebuked in the Convoca-
ton of the Regents of the University on
Thursday, and it was the unanimous opinion of
the members that something ought to be done
about it. A committee was accordingly ap-
pointed, with instructions to report next year T;
and meanwhile the Regents intend to thy hard
to create a public opinion against the absurd
practice. But so long rs a large majority OF

it ought to be.

The House of Commons some days ago, by
a considerable majority, adopted a bill i'll favor
of the abolition of Church Rates. The Lords
last night rejected the bill by large majority.
Thus both Houses adhered to their traditional
policy. In the Commons, which, though not
yet favorng the separation between Church
and State, are ready TO reduce the privileges
of the Established Church, a bill for abolishng
the municipal rate which inhabitants, without
distinction of creed, have to pay for the main
tenance of the edifces of the Established
Church, has repeatedly been adopted, while the
Lords have invariably rejected it.

Among the claims which so many home
wants Justly lay to the charity of our people,
the poor Cretans ought not to be forgotten.
They suffer as rarely people in modern times
have suffered. Few, we should think, can read
the noble letter from DR.. Howe, which we
publish on another page, without being moved
to the liveliest sympathy. We hope, therefore
that it may find the widest circulation in all
parts of the Union. 1t gives more impress
i've description of the outrages committed by
the Turks, and the misery into which the Chris
tian population of Crete has been plunged, than
any other document we have met with.
