That their efforts will be arreated in a Month—in a year—no 6 1c here can admit. Its rami- fications are beyond beli«i; ita leaders are brave and phrewd, while their enemies are faithless and cow ardly. The state of affuire xow ot this moment existing throughout this vast onpire, seems to warrant the gesertion that without the intervention of some * foreign element” dt-turhances will exist for years Xo come, and finally the expire will crumble into at Teast. two. parta, and perhaps many petty States. Anarchy and coufuricn will then reign; and if we frould preserve our inierests amid this threatened rash, the sooner we look to it the better. Among the many Cinadvantages we have labored mnder in China, perbxps the most serions one has been the want of interpretors. We never had any wre but poor ofd Dr. Parker, who has held the of- fice of Secretary and interpreter to the United States Wegation in China ever since the treaty was made. For this service he hav received from the govern- ment five hundred collars more than the Secretary of any-other Legation, while he carries about with him a China couipradore, to interpret, to whom he weys six hundred per annum. It is difficult for Bhose at home to folly appreciate the great draw- back this entails on oli the movements of our guthorities in this country. A Chinaman will mever communicate your ideas to his own wflicers, except in tho humiliating manner and style with which Le would speak for himself. And his reason is in ovedience to the first law of nature—célf precervation. Dr. Parker can speak the Canton dialect, but the court language he is totally mai inted with. Whe. he was here last sum- mer with Mr. McLane. Dr. Keith asked that the English interpreter be cent for, who did come, and Sate in the presence of the American inter- ES This was mortifying, pe it could not be elped. When Mr. McLare went to the Peiho last Bummer Dr. Parker waa unable to spank the court dialect, and therefore M-. Medhurst, the lish interpreter, was was called upon to state what the Unit- ed States had to say. 1: has lately leaked out Shree the Chinere, that this was in a great mea- gure the cause of the total failure of the expedition und the uncourteous reception they got on a sand beach. The Raussieas are on good terms with Rhe Chincse at Pering, and they have cul- tivated the bad_ feeling the Chinese have for the English and French; and, the United States being in such bud company, of course must sulfur do Altogether, from the accounts the Chinese Rive of the expedition, it saurt have been quite dis- eraceful to ali coucerned. Mr. McLane immediately det for Paris, and lef: Dr Parker in charge. In peaceful times, the old fellow’s secretaryship was a finecurc; but now in these troubles, he was called upon to try and interpret so much that it made a hy old man, which almost drove c 80, that when Gen. Keenan, éhe United States Consul at Hong Kong, saw him, he advised him to * varnove the ranch,” which the Doctor did by the last raail.

RAVAGES OF THE OHOLERA AMONG THE PASSENGERS ‘—LETTER FROM A LADY EMIGHANT TO HER MO- THEE, BTC.) BTC. 84n Faanoisco, July 15, 1866. My Daan Morsyn—Thanks be to our Heavenly Father, we are safely landed in San Francisco, and after you have read my letter, you will know fall well why 1am so thankful. I will begin from the time we left San Juan. We got there the week from the Friday afier we left New York; we went on board of a comfortable river steamer, 60 far as the accommodations for the daytime were concerned; I succeeded, through the politeness of the captain, in getting.a place for Mary aud Emily to lie down, while I sat up for the night, the boys sleeping among the baggage. We atiived at the plese where we Were to change boats, at what is called Castillo Rapids. We expected to go right on board of a large lake boat, but at the Rapids heard rather appalling news. We had already heard rumors of the cholera having been there, amongst the soldiers stationed at the fort, but were assured it was all over then. In stead of finding the lake boat all ready to convey us, shortly after wo came to the wharf the captain came and told us that the captain of the lake boat had refused to go over again to Virgin Bay, (the place where we leave the boats and take the car- Tiages), on account of the cholera prevailing there So we were obliged to remain at Castillo Rapids till the next morning about three o’clocis, when we were aroused by the news that the Culifornia passengers had arrived, and we were to exchange boats imme- diately. We went on board of afine steamer fortay travelling, about day light on Sunday moruing, The day passed off tolerably well, but when night came every one seemed miserable. ‘There was quite a nice little ladies’ cabin, where some could have been made comfortable, but just before night an Irish girl, of good appearance, was taken sick and brought into this cabin. Every lady deserted it and rushed to the upper deck, except two ladies, with large families, and myself. I put the children and Mary apou the floor, and prepared to sit up all night myself. As I waa sitting there a lady was brought down to the lower deck; she was seized with cramps. I was the only one up, and was called upon to use my brandy to rub her with; her feet were put into hot mustard water, and mus- tard applied to her chest; after a while she got into a profuse perspiration, and was laid down in the outer cabin. She got weil, but the Irish girl died with cholera before daylight. At daybreak we all left the steamer, went ashore, and took the carriages to San Juan, on the other side, where we arrived }efore dinner, but they did not. admit us on board tilldurk. We found far better ac- commodations than on the Northern Light, and every- thing seemed to promise favorably for the voyage. are ynony, seemed to feel so happy ho we had left that fatal place, Virgin Bay, behind us. The weather from the first was very stor! iota On Wednesday we were all startled with the news that Mr. Lord, 8 gentleman from Boston, was dowa with the cholera. In less than six hours he was dead. He was avery unassuming, prudent man; but such seemed to be the victims amongst the first cabin passengers. Twice he had been to San Francisco and settled up his aftairs, but became discontented, and made the third trial, but it proved his last. Be: tween Weduesday and Med Sunday following, se- veral cases occurred in the stecrage, all proving fata}; but it was all kept secret from the cabin pas- sengers. On Sunday afternoon a Mr. West, a Bap- tist missionary to Oregon, was taken, and ‘died be- fore midnight. He leita sickly wife and five small children, with but eleven doliars in the world to help herself with. She bore up like a Christian under her afflictions. A purse of $160 was raised for her, end no doubt her denomination wiil help her to her home in Oregon. Her husband had been out and taken up a government grant, aud had erected a house on bis claim. and she has a brother, there who will see tober. The same night Mr. West died, a baby of Mr. and Mis. Brown, from Virginia, died, Its mother had caught cold drom Washing in the damp. The baby nursed Crom her; it had “the dysentery, too, from teething. The father was worn out with watchivy jis wife and babe, and on Monday morning, at ring o'clock, he died with the cholera. His wie was able to sit up, but she was tuken down next morning, and at nght was seized with cholera, Not a soul was there to help her, ex- cept Captain Collins and wyself. I stood over her all night till four o'clock in tne morning. The doc- tor insisted that I should call up an Irish ‘lady by the name of Mariy. She got up, while I slept about tan hour; byt there was such a noise on deck sat I got up agai sat by her till she diced, at two ollock in the ateaiath: The whole family were then gone. She was an only child. Her parents live near Sacramento. Her husband was a lawyer, and nice people they were. While 1 was citting up with Mrs. Browh, a German girl died in the lower saloon. Not a woman was about her. Some men tried all they could to save her, but of no avail were their efforts. A gentleman also died that nigbt.

Most all of my clothes that I had in wy room got wet. Altogether it was horri- ble. ‘The captain says he bas made thirty-two voya- ges, but never one like this. Forseven days he was notable to get ou observation. We arrived here this morning, and Iam now at the Oriental Hotel, kept by Captain Waffstai®. At the Castillo Rapids Theard that A. A. was rannin, the steamer Arerica; and when I got here I hear the estounding news that she was burned. He had gone up to Creacent City, and fifteen minntes after they had got to the wharf she was found to be on fire. It was caured by the spontaneous combustion of the coal. She was burned tothe water's edge. They attempted to tow her down; but about sixty miles from here a gale ee on, parted the ropes, and she sunk. “eft here eae Jast ood f to raise her, and is expected back ngein to-nizh' This is alll have been able to learn, and | write now ail I know, for fear 1 shal! lave no other oppor- tunity, as the mail closes to-morrow.

State Temperance Convention of New Jersey— Meeting. at Camden—Organization of the Con- wention—Resolutions in Favor of Prohibition— Nominations by the Burlington Prohibitionists. Revival of Bishup Doane’s Troubles, §c. ‘The State Temperance Conventionof New Jersey met in Camden to-day. The meeting was fully at- tended, ‘and much enthusiasm prevailed. The body was temporarily organized by calling Mr. J.M. Brown, of Burlington, to the ebair, and Philip F. Slack was appointed Secretary. A committee of five, consisting of the following named gentlemen—3. H. Browning, of Camden; B, C. Tatem; of'Gloucester; Mr. Knowles, of Mercer; Mr. Freeman, of Monmouth; and Mr. Devereaux, of Mercer—was: appointed to nominate permanent officers of the convention. The committee, after a few moments’ retirement, reported the following, who were elected:—Presi- dent, P. F. Slack, of Burlington; Vice-Presidents, 8. H. Weatherby, of Gloucester; D. Reppley, of Ea sex; Jease Peterson, of Camden; Secretaries, H. B. Howell, of Mercer; W. H. Snowden, of Gloucester. A committee of five was appointed for the purpose of drafting a preamble and series of resolutions. The committee consisted of the following gentlemen:— Messers. Wells, J. W. Hazleton, Jonn Robbins, J. R. Bryant, and J. L. Reese. Jn the afternoon, the above committee madé their report, from which we take the subjoined resolutions, ‘as the most important:— Wherogs, tho tiue design of governmont is. to secure the happincas and prosperity of the peoplo; and, whereas, the object oflaw lato talnivierto this end, by “Gommand: what is right and prohibiting what is wrong,” and, whorees, all experience shows tiiat the salo of intoxicat ing liquors as a beverage was directly against the bost interest of the community—therefore, Resolved, That all laws authorizing ‘such sale are anta- goniatical to the true design of govornmont, and should 0 superseded by enactments prohibiting ‘traffic in all of intoxicating liquors as bevac d, That we are fully “convinced, by the experi- ence of the past, tinat it is one thing toobtain the — of a Prohibitory law, and another to fully executo it when passed; and witha’ view to ita execation, us well as its passage, we honestly believe that a thoroughly organized polideal temperance reform party is absolutely necos- to that end. ved, That this convention do earnestly recommend to the friends of temperance and prohibition throughout the State, the imimediato formation of in iependent politi- cal organizations in every ward, township and county in the State, where no such orginizations now exis! as being the most safo and certain means of accomplishing stho ultimate success of prohibition, and the utter exter- mination of the rum tratfic. Resolved, That this conv doctrine that laws were originally designet, in their operation, to promote the public good andadvance the bext interests of society; and claiming that the tims has come in the history of this country, when all such laws as do not, in thoir operations, support that doctrine, should be svrept from our statute books as unworthy a freo and enlightenad people. The resolutions created along and pretty sharp discussion, after which they were immaterially modified and passed, and the convention adjourned. The prohibitionists of Burlington county have taken time by tho forcluck, and made a part of their nomi- nations for the Levisluture. In this they have shown more zeal than judgment in that particular localit; and if the counties sproagbout the State follow ths independent plan of action, temperance men will find, at the next electiqn, that the have retarded the progress of their favorite hobby at least half a pega There is scarcely a town inthe State where the temperance ticket can run alone; only through fusion can they hope for anything. The troubles of Bishop Doane have been revived again,and extended to au open raptire between him and a portion of his parishioners.

Literature of the Sonth. {From Ue Richmond (Va.) Whig, Aug. 14.) Among tie other things which we enumerated, of which the South should be independent of the North, is literature, including necossorily, all our school and college text books. Now we know that literatare is styled the “Itepublic of Letters,” and that it would argre avery narrow and unenlightened condition either to aim. or to hope to. exclude entirely ali new works, coming from whatever portion of the domain of mind they may. It would be iil policy to refuse to avail ourselves of the literary produttions of any country, jem they are ores literary or scien- tific,and ho aim or tendency covertly to under- mine our secial fabric or to annoy and vex us in oar domestic relations. One of the coblest attribut a cultivated miud is the childlike upprejediced spirit with which it bows to learning, from whatever source it may come. But there are two cardinal reasons why the South should not lie prone and inert upon the North for books, maps, Beographies, books of statistics, his- tory, Tomance, nd all the various periodicals, with the floating and often immaral and unsound trash of the day. ‘The first is, that it is dne to ourselyesas a people—it is due lo our pride—it is due to our owa abundant intelectual and literary resources, that we should have a literature of our own, and not be taunted by the North with our literary barreuncss, We Log intelect—cultivated intellect—enough to id literatare.
