There is no doctrine which is .so important to be inculcated as the foregoing, fur so long as planters look upon old soils and old lands as worthless, so ion theircf- forts will be deferred, lint w hen once they are so satisfied of tlie truth that old lauds are susceptible of improvement, and espeei- ally, if they can be made to beliete that by culture, they are cap 1 of pr di more bushels and more wci, Jitof Ci. oru and cotton igh tir-t broke ready for try- per acre, than w h. ii tin up the surface, they will iii better sy-tems and 1 ctter iuo.leot bus- : baudry.

On the -th iut'int, reports reached of the hostile intentions of tiie rebels against the foreign community in articular, and that they intended advancing on Shanghai, which caused the greatest :ilanii nnd con fusion, and inhabitants of the city were mov ing into the country, and the united naval force and the whole community commenced to fortify and make preparations for the defence of lL" liritish settlement. Later accounts froi i Looehou had been received, stating that son.: thing had checked the reb els' approach, and matters were more quiet. The rebel force had evacuated Chiukeang foo and were retreating upoti Nankin.
