The Chinese wall.

China Correspondence Of the Alta Csiiforniap.l
Since writing my last letter from
the tower Of Piangtu, which was for
warded via Pekin to Shanghai, by
the kind father Tumsha, who WAS
returning from his mission in Paris,
| have traversed over the side and
ruins of the ancient outworks OF the
Chinese wall proper, as far as Suet-
schen, on the border of the desert OF
Kobi or Schamo, and through the
aid Of my kind friend and interpret
err, Chung Wo, have collected much
valuable information with regard to
the objects which led to heconstruc-
ton of these gigantic barriers, which,
in defiance of modern engineering,
still remain the great architectural
wonders Of the world, in comparison
with which the pyramids and tenn
pies Of Egypt are mere specks. This
curtain wall varies i'm distance from
the true wall from one mile to ten,
and for engineering skill in the sec
ton of defensible points, when we
consider that escalade was the only
means by which the Northern hordes
Of Mandschuri and Tsiniggians at
tempted its passage, it would have
tasked the judgment Of TOdleben
to have found a better line ofdefense.
The material used for building the
first or outer wall was kiln-burnt
bricks, and its construction was evil
IDENTIFY intended to cover the progress
Of the more substantial inner fortifi-
cation Of stone. According to the
information derived from Father
Ing 90, a learned bonse, Of the Buddh-
list seminary Jaaing Poo, the con-
struction Of the first wall of brick
occupied period Of eight hundred
years, during which three millions
of wOrkmen were constantly en-
ployed. Like the frontiersrnen of
America, they were obliged to COM
bine the occupation Of warrior, arti-
san, and possibly agriculturist.
During its progress there were
upward Of two thousand forays and
diversions, which must have greatly
retarded the work. The inner or
stone fertilization was commenced,
according to the best authenticated
accounts, about eighteen hundred
years before the advent Of our era;
and with its completion the tempo
rary outworks Of brick were probably
abandoned, as its line is through a
country incapable Of producing
enough to supply the wants Of a gar

rison such as would be required for
its defense.
The existence of these two walls
has led to discrepancy in the relation
of travellers. Those who have visited
it from the north and west contend
ing that it is a structure of brick in a
ruinous condition; and those through
the empire, from the south, that it
is built of stone, supremely grand in
its architectural design, and in a
wonderful state of preseEvation, con-
sidering that it has withstood the
assaults of time and the machina-
tions of man to accomplish its DIS
struction for at least two thousand
and five hundred years since the last
stone was laid.
