Dr. Parker, the well known missionary at Canton, writing from that city, under date of the 1 8:h of July, of the Horrors of the Chinese revolution, says: "On the Gth of July, Fiehshon, a town 10 or 12 miles of Canton, west, embracing nearly a million of people, fell into the pow er of the insurgents, and the imperialists have endeavored in vain to recapture it. The smoke by day and fire by night of burning villages have been visible from my terrace. On the 13th instant, the first blood was shed on the north of this city, a few miles distant, if we except that spilt by the sword of the executioner, the number of de capitations daily averaging 50 or 60, and for the last ten years 50,000 1 To day there has been a second battle in this vi cinity 68 insurgents taken prisoners, and one hundred slam. "Day before yesterday the insurgents were victorious and .300 imperialists were killed. It is said some of the captives to day were brought in on poles, their hand and teet being tied nice pigs; doers were brought in on the points of sharp bamboos some nave tneir ears cut on ; otners : are ham-strung. The panic in the city, as the gates were closed during these skirmishes and the flight of women and children, it is difficult to portray ; and fiom hour to, hour we know not what may become the condi tion of foreigners. But. most fortunately nt present there is a naval force British and American able to protect U3 against any mob. Alast for China." MEASURES OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. The Newburyport Herald, in the course pf an article on Weight s and Measures. remarks that no two nations have the same though the same name to designate them may be used in' many countries. Take the miles measure, for instance : In Eng land and the .United ctates, a mile means 1,760 yards ; in the Netherlands, it is 1,093 yards; while in Germany it is 10,120 yards, or nearly six Ji.nglish miles ; in France, 2,025 yards. The Scotch mile is 1,984 yards, and the Irish, 3.038 yards. The Spanish rcile is 2,472 yards and the Swedish 11,700 yards. These are com puted in English yards j but the yard it self, of three feet in lengthy-lias divers sig- nincattons in different places, lhe Eng lish yard is 36 inches ; the French 39. 13 inches ; the Geneva yard 57.60 : the Aus trian 37.35 ; the Spanish yard, 33.09 : the .Prussian, 3b 57 the Russian, 39 31. For measures of capacity, lhe dissimiliarity is yet wider and more perplexing. The Brit ish have two sorts of bushels, the Imperial and the Winchester, of dirterent capacity. The Winchester bushel is the United States standard ; but the State of New York has another of different capacity, and other States have varying standards of their own. These are incommensurable , with the measures of any other nation. COUNTERFEIT QUARTER EAGLES. Two counterfeit quarter eagles have re cently been taken at the New York Post Office. They are thus described by the Journal of Commerce; " , "It is made from a genuine New Orleans taint die, stolen some years si nee, .and bears the "O" under the talons of the eagle. Prof- John Torry, assayer here, has ana- lyzed the coin, and findi that it is made of n casting of pure gold, filled with silver, and probably with platina, to increase the "weight The weight is 60 5-10 grains, 4hich fs only four grains light, and the "coating of gold weighs 30 1-10 grains. It is therefore worth 61,17, in gold, and 8 -cents in silver, or 91,25 in raw material, 'besides the labor of making. The maker and vender could not, therefore, realized more than 61 each, which would seem too small a profit, except that the counterfeit is so well done that there is but little risk of detection." ; When Philip Henry, the father of the celebcated commentator, sought the hand of the only daughter and heiresa of Math ews in marriage, an objection was made by her father, who admitted that he was a gentleman, a scholar, and aD, excellent preacher, but he was a stranger, and Hhey did JSt kAOU xchfre came fro '" Kir aid the daughter, who had well wigned the excellent qualities and graces of the stranger, "bta I know where A is go ing, and I should like to go with him and tbey. walked life' pilgrimage together.

His great success in those long standing and diffi cult cases, such as were formerly considered incur able, is sufficient to commend him to the public as worthy of the extensive patronage he has received. within the last eight years, ur. has treated more than 29,500 cases of Private Complaints, in their different forms and stages a practice which no doubt exceeds that of all other physicians now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single- case is known where his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without elleciing a radical and permanent cure: therefore. persons afflicted with diseases of the above, nature, 'no matteT now aiuuiuit or to; standing ibe ease may be," would do welt to call on Or.

It acts simultaneously upon the stomach, the circulation and the bowels t snd thus three processes, which are ordinarily the result of three dillerent kinds ot irediclne, are carried on at the same time, through the instrumentality of this one remedial agent which gently stimulutcs while It disinfects and expels irom the stomach and bowels all that is irritating, and at the same time estores visor and tone. Many other preparations imitate in oeariog the name of Sarsaparilla, and in that their resemblance ends, being often prepar ed from worthless and inert roots, and of course possess no healing or curative properties, and pa tients in making choice of wnlcn they will use, should take no other, but that one enti tled lo their confidence, from the long list of cures It has epect ed on living witnesses, whose testimonials and residence have been published, and who are stiil bearing daily testimony to its worth.

Hav Ing witnessed the most beneficial effects from the use of your Sarsaparilla, it gives me pleasure to send you the following statement in-regard to my son. In the spring of 1848 ho took a severe cold, and after eicht weeks of severe suffering the dis ease settled in his left lee and foot, which soon swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced by his physician, and discharged most profusely; after that no less than elevr n ulcers formed on the lez and foot at onetime. Wehad fivedifferent Phy sicians, but none relieved him much and the last winter found him so emaciated and low that be wa unable to leave his l ed, suffering the most excrucia tins pain. Durintr this time the bone had become so much aflected that piece after piece came out, of which he has now more than twenty-nve preserved in a bottle, varying from one half to one and a half inches in length. - We had given up all hopes of his recovery, butat this time we were induced , to try your Sarsaparilla. and with us use his health and appetite began immediately to improve, and so ran ii was the change th at leg than a dozen bottles ef- lecteo perfect cure. With gratitude, I remain truly yours. DARIUS BALLARD. We the undersigned neighbors of Mr. Ballard. cheerlully snDscrtne to the facts of the above elite ment. H. It. S. Hayt, A. M Trowbridge, - - Geo.

AX ETENTfUL CAREER. C. F. Clarkson, formerly Tilitor of llic Indiana American, who is now travelling in Tennessee, narrates the following story in a letter published in ihs Rockvillo, Ind.t Democrat: Let me recite to you a true history of a man whose farm we passed over j cstcrd.i y. About fifteen years ago, a Presbjterinn clergyman of New York had a wayward son. We have his name and location but choose to withold it at present. Before li" was seventeen he became so reckless and unruly that his father could no longer con trol him. He left for the wicked and cur rapt city of New York, where he became a clerk in a drinking saloon, but his char acter was too bad to be retained there. He. next was a bar-keeper in a theatre, but wan dismissed. He went lower and and still lower, Until he slept in empty cellars and on the whares of the city, a perfect nuis ance and a disgrace to his race. At this stage of his career an old college mate for our hero was a graduate of one of tho best colleges in the State of New York -determined that he would hunt him up tnd make one more effort to aavc him. He went to New York, and after a wce! of diligent search, with the aid of the po lice, he found him. He washed and cloth ed him, took him back to thn country, and by every inducement that Could be held, out to him, persuaded l.im to try to be a man. He made the eftort, and was suc cessful. The friend who sought him out and who saved him we are well acquaint ed with. They both determined to come to Tennessee to teach school. They soon reached here, artd with a hisrh recommen dation they brought, soon obtained good places. The reclaimed son of the Presbyterian clergyman, within six months after his ar rival, married an orphan girl worth 810, 000 in cash. She h id a younger sister and brother, who each had equal amounts. The sister soon after died, leaving one half of her estate to our hero and his wife, thfl other half to her brother, and thus increas ing his estate to 800,000. When the Mex ican war broke out, the brother enlisted, and made a will, leaving all trs estate to his brother-in-law (our hero) and his wife, in case he never returned from the war. He, like many more of our noble youths, was killed at Buena Vista. Thii3 our he ro came in possession of the entire rstato of the family, which at first was 8120,000, which has increased by advance of lands and increase of negroes to over 8300,000. He is now one of the richest planters of Middle Tennessee, and does not live twen. ty-fivc miles from Nashville, h i " , ; . . A HOUSE MIT A BIG CIIIMNEr. A few years ao the proceeding of the Wa&hiugtorT Monument Society at Washington received a sudden impetus. Among other measures adopted to pro cure sufficient funds for the completion of the edifice was that of appointing an agent in each Congressional district throughout the United States, who were furnishpd with lithographs of the future monument, which were presented to such gentlemen as chose to subscribe. One of those agents called at the house of a very wealthy farmer, in the upper end of Dauphin .county, Pensyl- vania. The whole family were soon assembled to look at the beautiful pic tures. In the mean lime the agent ex erted all his eloquence to induce the stea dy old German to "plank the tin." He portrayed the services of Washington to his country : he dwelt in glowing terms upon the gratitude we should lcel for l hem. Suddenly the farmer broke silence: "what is all this for ?"' The agent began again ; "You know who Washington was V" "Yes, he was the first President : he licked the British, didn't he?" "Yes, that's the man, and this monu ment is to be erected as a fittins: testimo nial of the eternal gratitude of his coun trymen. 1 he anticipated subscriber studies the plate attentively. "Well, said he, "I wont nay any thing towards it ; I don't see no use to build a house tnit such chimney. The agent immediately left. TAKE TIIEM OUT OF THE CONVENTS. Fathers mothers, brothers, sisleis. friends acquaintances, who have chil dren, relatives, or ftiends in convents or schools, let us solemnly urge you to re move them immediately, or procure their removal as soon as possible. 1 he Ladies of the Secret Heart have still some Protestaint young ladies a- mong their pupils, and in spi'.e of any pretences to the countrary, make contin ual efforts to mislead them. Thev have been justly named, by Professor Quinef. of Paris, Jesuitesscs. American moth ers, shun them as you would a den of domestic vipers. They are insinuating and poisonous; and one of the first ob jects of all papist teachers is, to detach children lrom their rarents. A person recently returned from Eu rope, told his friend he had been present ed at Court there. 'Did von see the Q.ueen there?' asked one. Wall. no. I did'nt see her, zactly but 1 seed one of ner menus a judge. Yersee,' he con tinued, 'the Court I was presented at, happened to be a Police Court.' Some milk sop down east has got out a patent to keep cows tails stiff while they are being milked. Well ! we will go np to our necks in ditch water if some other inventive genius will get out a pa tent to keep the pomp handle still after they are milked.
