THE circulation of the AUalaHcke is
now rapidly Increasing, and has reached
a higher point than has ever before been
attained by any paper in the South.
The above IS the affirmation of the
Aralaaehe of September 9Th. Some
few might possibly be found credu-
lous enough to believe the statement
of u cotemporary in regard to our
city papers; but none, we opine,
would for one moment credit the boast
every paper Of the South. There
are papersin New Orleans publishing

THE New York Times warm its
Republican party that it is "unwise -
for Gen. GRANT to interfere in the
case of Tennessee, that it is not the
duty of the general govern

result of a local election" The
Times thinks interference with
Democratic and Conservative tri-

ARRIVAL OF III STEAMER CHINA
The arrival Of the steamer China Mt
about / o'clock yesterday afternoon,
from China, was the signal for n lively
tins among the Chinese Of this city. 1t
was generally known by factions, into
which the Celestials arc divided, that
about 400 women, shipped from Hong
kong to different Chinese companies
here, were on board, and n general rush
was made, both by the owners, with the
| view to secure them, and those who had
no claim to them. Long before the
steamer had arrived in port the streets
wore crowded with Chinese vending
their way to the dock, and, when the
vessel had been moored, the number of
Chinese present must have been fully
1000. In the meantime, it was gen.
| orally understood that a deep feeling
had been in existence among the Chi
namen in favor Of fighting for tho pos
session of the women rather than leave
the matter to the police, and that they
had armed themselves with all kinds Of
weapons for the purpose Of arbitra.ing
the matter by an appeal TO arms. To
guard against the threatened eruption,
Captain Douglass and q posse Of police
were on the wharf when the steamer mr.
rived, and to their presence alone is it
due that blood was not spilled freely,
for Immediately that the Chinawomen
commenced to land, n fight began, in
which the inevitable Chinese iron bar
covered with red cloth, an an and knives
were used freely. Before the quarrel
had reached any serious dimensions,
however, five of the leaders were arrest
ed, whose names are All Gin, All Swey,
lie Yong, G. Long, and Alb Tim. All
Gin used the iron, All Yong the nx, and
G. Long two knives, which were fitted
into a leather case. One Chinaman, All
Chong, was badly cut on the head,
probably by the ax. After peace had
been restored, the Chinnwomen were
allowed to come ashore, and were
slowed away behind a partition on the
wharf, where they were all searched.
Many of them were found to have opium
concealed in their clothes. Then came
the parlitioning of the women, which
battles all description. Cabs, express
wagons, md every procurablc mode Of
conveyance were secured by the compa-
nies, and up to 8 o'clock last evening
loads of them might be seen carted
through the streets, escorted by one or
two Cinnamon and m officer. The
whole of the proceedings were disgust
ing, aud their repetition should not be
allowcd.-S. +. Herald, Gath.

THE Sw%EDEYBoRGIAN DocTRISE.-Ac-
cording to Swedenborg, there are three
heavens, consisting Of threo orders OF
angels: Tho first distinguished for love,
the second for wisdom, and the last for
obedience. All angels have lived on
earth, none were created such. They
arc men and women in every respect,
they marry and live in societies in cities
and countries just as we do in this world,
but in happiness and glory ineffable.
All in whom love TO God and mar is the
ruling principle 60 to heaven vt death.
Between heaven and hell n perfect equi-
librium is maintained. As there are
three heavens, there are three bells, and
every angelic society has an Internal an
tagonist. He'll, MS q whole, is called
the devil and Satan ; there is no indi-
vidual bearing this name. All in whom
self love is the ruling passion 60 to hell.
There is no resurrection Of the earthly
body. Every n passes to his final lot
at death some make a short s~ojourn in
an intermediate state, designated the
world of spirits, where the good are
cured of their superficial inirmities and
intellectual mistakes, and the evil re-
jcct nil their prctcnsss to good.
