AFFAIRS OF CHINA.
The Canada brought dates from th .s remote
country to the 11th of April inclunve, rom
which it appears thai the American, renc 1
•nd English ships of war on the coast have, at
the urgent request of the l-.mperor, an upon
a requisition from the Chinese authorities, con
tented to guard Nankin, Shanghai, and the
mouth of the great cmal against the rebels.
The aisociation of the American fleet in this
engagement has excited the alarm of the Lon
don Times, snd it warns the Americans of the
danger they will incur should they follow in
the footstep* of Great Britain and appropriate
the Chinese Empire, in an article from which
we select the following paragraph :
"It is a rather suspicious circumstance that
just now, when their very smait missionaries
have given the Americans more intelligence of
the nature and progress of the rebellion than
our British representative and merchants were
ever likely to do, that they have in those wa
ters the largest armament ever aeeu in the East
under their flag. What i< the ariny, apparent
]y intended for the chastisement of Japan and
the opening of Jeddo, should really have an
other object—to hold the balance of Chinese
parties, and toelip in at the right moment Bnd
grasp the prize ? The Times adds : The
possession of an India would break tip the
federal Union as surely—as immediately—as
the conquest of Europe destroyed the old con
stitution of Rome."
We hardly think the Times can be serious in
its suspicions of the intentions of our govern
ment in sending a strong naval force to those
distant seas, or that the Union is likely to in
cur any danger from tbe annexation of China.
In the meantime its predictions with regard to
tbe slate «f things which would arise from the
consummation ol such a scheme,are not to be
taken with quite so much faith as the prophe
cies of holy writ. It has tried its skill fre
quently, heretofore, m the same line of vatici
nation, and we do not know that it has ever
hi. the mark on a single occasion. As long
ago as tbe war of 1812, it was in the daily habit
of regaling its readers with signs of the near
and inevitable drstruction of the Union, and the
return of old George's rebellious sutjects to
the bosom o< their incensed, bat forgiving pa
rent. From that period to the present day, its
predictions have been incessant, and they
now spread over a surface of forty years.—
Yet the Union stands as firmly now as it
did in the beginning, its strength having been
not in the slightest degree impaired, either
by the traitorous surrender of a part of our
territory, to tbe British authorities, or by the
imaginary hostility of the Louisiana Cre
oles, or i)y the Missouri controversy, or by
South Carolina nullification, or by the an
nexation of Texas, or by the Mexican war,
or by the conquest of California and New
Mexico, or by the anti-slavery proceedings at
Boston and in Exeter Hall, or by any of the
thousand and one accidents, either oi which,
the Times has sworn by all its Gods, would
be sufficient to smash it into a thousand frag
ments. It stands, and it will continue to
stand, even though it should be mad enough
to annex the entire "Flowery Kingdom," and
throw in South America tor a balance on this
side of the water. It is very easy for an edi
iur, oitiiu e j n |jj g eag y c (j a i r j n LomJojj, to
overthrow constitutions and destroy States
upon paper. It is rather more difficult to car
ry it out in actual practice, as we should have
thought John Bull would have discovered, at
least so far as ue are concerned, many years
ago, for he has been, in one way or another, en
deavoring to destroy the union of the States,
ever since it was formed.
Every just man has reason to rejoice that
even in this world, retributive justice does not
always sleep, and that great national crimes,
Boouer or later, bring down upon the perpe
trators punishment so palpable, that all the
eatth can read. When England declared war
upon the helpless Chinese because they did
not choose to poison themselves with her
opium, she little dreamed ihat retaliation was
in the power of a people so weak and so friend
less. If we may be allowed to form a judg
ment upon the subject, from the remarks of the
Times, she has alr n ady begun to discover her
mistake. The American Missionaries, who
have behaved civilly and kindly to the inhabi
tants, have, it appears, transmitted to their
country far more certain intelligence with re
gard to the progress of this rebellion, than
either British representatives or merchants are
ever likely to obtain. It is not difficult to as
sign a reason. Ihe Chinese detest the En
glish on account of their atrocious injustice
and cruelty in the war which they made upon
them, and now, when England stands in need
of all the information she can get upon an ira»
portant subject, she finds it impossible to ob
tain any.
It is manifest that (he Times is seriously
alarmed lest the Americans obtain a degree of
influence in the councils of the Chinese Em
pire which may prove fatal to English inte
rests. Thus far, it has cause for alarm, and
we hope the occasion will be improved in such
a manner as to prove that it has not been
groundless. Now is the time for America to
acquire a preponderant influence in China.—
Tne Chinese are already well disposed to
wards us. On all occasions of business they
preler our ships, and our merchants, to the En
glish. L?t this good feeling be cultivated with
the utmost assiduity, and there is no estimating
I e results to this couutry. Direct annexation
»,of course, a dream of the LoDdon Times
But we may easily effect a species of annexa
tion which will be far more beneficial to us.—
The Times is evidently alarmed, and apparent
ly wiib just cause.
Death or an Editor.—Mr. N.C. Palmer,
usuciate editor of the New York Times, died
in the city of New York on the 7th inst., in the
35ih year of his age. He commenced his ca
veer as a journalist in the city of Buffalo at
tin age of 19, and has been ever since con
nected with the press. The Times pays a
>igh tribute to his talents and good qualities.
Thk Mf.hili.a War.—The retirement of
Gov. Trias trom the Mesilla Valley, on finding
no invading force there, is regarded as an evi
-7i M U Ind1 nd " <1 ' * nd "is •°PPO»ed
gotiation. noW ** made « »« b i e ci of ne-
tiie RACE today.
The great match net between Red Eye and
Nina, to-day protnwM to be exceedingly, inter
eating- Each animal haa won a high reputa
tion, and neither of them, it may well be sup
posed, wilt aurrender without a desperate
struggle. Such aport as we have not had since
old Tree Hill waa in all ita glery, may there
fore be confidently predicted. Such aeema to
be the very general impression, and it being
such, we look forward to the race with great
interest. A great deal of State pride is mixed
up with the affair, and people are exceedingly
anxioua that Red Eye, the victor m ao many
hardly contested fields, should preserve his
laurels unwitb>*red. it would be a shame, they
aay, for tht old favorite to be beaten here at
home, almost io sight of the lot where ie was
bom.
In the meantime, we learn that is " en »
though sanguine, have every reason to C *PJ
that he will not be suffered to oter th<
track. The friends of Nina are as sanguine as
tliey, and do not mean to give in, unle«
they are fairly beaten. There w,II be whip
ping and spurring, broken heats and broken
men, we suspect, on the t airfield bourse to
day. From all we can hear, the concourse of
people will be larger than it has been for
years, as was to have been expected from the
large 'stake and great elcitement. This race
will, we suspect, give a decided impulse to
the noble old sports of the turf, and we may
yet hope to see them revive in all their
strength, and with all their associations of by
gone daya. Already the Jockey Club numbers
one hundred and fifty. So large a number
will be able to give us good purses, and good
purses will secure the best horses from all
quarters.
Circuit Court of Petersburg.—The jury
having been finally chosen, the case of Lewis
Montague, charged with the murder of G. G.
Thompson, of Petersburg, on the night of the
17th of June, 1852, Was proceeded with on
Wednesday last. Soon after the occurrence
of the murder we published the testimony in
fall.; we now simply give a recapi:ulation of
the testimony on Wednesday. Messrs. R. L.
Childrey and J. R. Ecbels deposed to seeing
Montague about half past 8 o'clock on the
night of the occurrence standing on a corner
with Thompson—then a scuffle, and then
Thompson stagger as if struck. They then
saw Montague shoot Thompson with a pistol,
exclaiming at the same time, that he (Thomp
son,) the d—d rascal, had drawn a pistol on
him (Montague,) an J he would kill him. They
did not see Thompson have any pisto! in his
possession.
J. T. Henderson stated that he was familiar
with Mr. Thompson's business, but never saw
him have a pistol in his life. He found no
weopon in T.'a clothes after he was brought
home the evening he was shot.
Samuel Edwards testified that on the evening
referred to, between 7 and 9 o'clock, Montague
came into his bar-room very hurriedly, and went
out again almost instantly. He said the per
son he wanted to see was not there.
James Belcher, a new witness for the Com
monwealth, deposed to seeing Montague stand
ing near a corner of a bv-alley, when Thomp
son catne up and said, "How are you Mont?—
I learn that you wish to see me." Montague
replied, " yes, you d—d rascal, I do." Thomp
son then said, " what's the matter Mont?"—
Montague answered, " you reeollect the time
you drew a pistol upon me, you d—d rascal,"
auu >.i.n misgave i. a diow oia£,gerea
him from the sidewalk, his hat falling in the
street. T. then steadied himself, and approach
ed the sidewalk below the barber's pole. As
he did so, Montague cocked his pistol, when
T. made an effort as if to get into an alley,
crying out, " Lord Mont don't shoot me." At
this instant the prisoner fired, and Thompson
fell, saying, as he did so, " Lord Mont you
have killed me—what did you shoot me for?"
Montague made no reply that witness heard,
but walked off. Witness then followed him to
the house, saw him go in, pull off his coat, and
go behind the bar. He had been there but a
short time when Mr. Williams came and took
him to jail. Did not tell the police nor the
Mayor what he had seen. Only mentioned it
to one man, Henry Wells, but did not tell him
to keep it a secret. Told him that night on his
way home. Did not mention it, because did
not wish to be called on against the prisoner,
or any other man. I can neither read nor
write. Am certain that Thompson had no pis
tol—should not be here now if Wells had not
had me summoned. Did not see Montague's
pistol. Heard him cock it. Saw T. tall at
mouth of alley. Was never called upon as a
witness before, and did not wish to be this time.
The trial was continued yesterday, and will
probably be concluded this week. The testi
mony very positively proves the guilt of Mon
tague.
Arthur Spring.—A despatch from Phila
delphia, dated June B,P. M., says:
I just now learn that Sprinf, the murderer,
has changed his tone, and appears to be in a
most excited state of mind. He is raving and
furious, and positively sujshe is innocent, and
that bis son committed the murders. There
are doubts of his being in his right mind. The
probability is that he is attempting to feign in
sanity.
The following declaration was signed by
Spring 6n Tuesday, after the interview with
his son ■'

THE LlQUri* ÜBALEBS AND LiqOOB D BIN KINO CI
TIZENS, Politicians and Chubchven.—The Af.
rican Chutch waa filled with a vaat and attentive
auditory oi our citizen. Wednesday evening laat,
gathered to liaten to an addreaa upon the aubject
of Temperance, from the diatinguiahed travelling
lecturer, Philip 8 White, of Penniyivania.
The ladiea turned out in large numbera. Mr
White la tall, well proportioned and of majestic
deportment—bia voice sonorous and agreeable—ac
tion appropriate, and language fluent, argumenta
tive and eloquent. Some very unpleasant truths
and unpleasant anecdotea were related. He com
menced by referring to the ctuses of the Declara
tion of Independence. Our fore-fathera, prior to
the Revolution, labored under intolerable griev
ancea imposed by the tyrannical King George.—
They finally reached a point when obedience, un
der those grievances, ceased to be a virtue, and re
bellion became a virtue, justice and reason sane
tioning it These grievances were mainly three
fold First, taxation without representation. Se
condly, the permitting of band* of armed soldiers
in their midst to cat out their substance without
their consent. Third, refusing to admit to consi
deration, petitiona couched in respectful language.
For these grievances our fore-fathers went to war.
They brought these grievances before the Colonial
Congress, who discussed them with closed doors—
then drew up a formal declaration of their griev"
ances to submit to the world in justification of
tbeir conduct, and then drew up and signed a for
mal pledge of reaistanoe. No one objected then to
the verbal sigcing of the pledge that a man could
be and act as a men and a patriot wi&out signing.
They signed to prevent misoonception oi tbeir
views and make their promulgation more solemn
and Impressive. Next they organized an army to
carry out protection to that pledge, consisting of
grand and subordinate divisions and grand and
subordinate officers with a peculiar dress. Than
tb.y marched to the tented field, and there toguard
against the intrusions of unworthy men and ene
mies, adopted cettain signs and countersigns. No
objection waa then made to these signs that they
rendered the army a secret society. Thus, them
there was this gallant little army on the one band
and King George's on the other. But some people
in those days were neutral, on the fence, waiting
to jump over to the aide on which victory should
petcb. Then there were deserters from the army
and they were shot. Then thsre was a large class
of churchmen who, from alleged conscientious
scruples, reinainel neutral. They contended that
the Bible spoke of a kingly government but not of
a republic, and they wers opposed to all new fan
gled notions. Then it became necessary to appoint
a commander in chief of the army, and he (Mr W)
need not ask Virginians who waa apppinted. The
name of George Washington was cherished in
every heart. Then came the final struggle be
tween the contending armies for freedom, and our
fore-fathers nobly won their liberty.
The speaker then contrasted the position of our
forefathers with that which temperance men now
occupied.
They had lived patiently under the grievous op
pressions of ruthless king alcohol, until patience had
ceased to be a virtue. These grievances were of a
threefold nature. First, taxation without represen
tation, for what temperance men were represented
in criminal courts, alms houses, and on gibbets! —
Second, king alcohol had created in our midst bands
of fierce soldier*. " Un 8 Wfco P°» raore dcnJ "
ly than the musket or sword—the bottle. [Great
applause J What temperance man had ever con
sented to the inroads of a ruthless horde of liquor
sellers in Virginia, keepers of toll gates on the road*
to perdition and breathing holes of bell, that were
destroying our negro property and laying waste all
that was beautiful in the moral existence. Third,
petitions respectfully written and laid at the foot of
our thrones, the State Legislatures, had been treated
with insult and contempt; if not to any extent here,
they had been in other States of the confederacy.
Had the grievances inflxted by king alcohol af
fected us as much as those ißflictod upon our fore
fathers by King George t Aye, indeed I Kingaleo
hoi stood upon a throne of human skulls, cemented
by tears and blood, and swaying a sceptre of physi
cal destruction and moral death. He was an enemy
whose tyranical arms stripped humanity of its no
blest attributes—robbed tha heart of its best func
tions, the sympathies of their tenderest sensibilities,
and the soul of its loftiest aspirations—an oppressor
whs had desecrated our homes and firesides—
caused strange and unhallowed tires to burn upon
our domestic altars—plundered our national treas
ury—cramped the strength of human mussle and
paralyzed the energy of mankind—put out the sun
light of genius, and robed th-t morai earth in the ha*
biilments of mourning. [Renewed applause ] The
next step which they took as temperance men, like
the manner of their forefathers in their struggle, was
to d raw up a declaration of their grievances uud sign
a p'edge of resistance. The pledgeof our forefathers
aimed at redemption from colonial vaesalaga. ours
at redemption from a moral and degrading slavery
Modern patriots rose up however when we pre
sented our pledge, and said that a c.an could be a
man without signing a pledge, and did not wi«h to
sign away our liberty. What liberty? Why the
liberty of being kicked out of grogshops [laughter |
and the liberty of being brought before c riminal
courts,to answer tor drunken frays—with your nose
running out of your facs like a boiled beet—[re
newed laughter]—a delicate red fringe around a
pair of glowering bloodshot eyes—your elbows
peering out at the corners—the crown of your hat
going fly, flipperty flap, [cheering,] and your toes
enquiring outside ef your boots the state of the
weather. [Applause and laughter ] Did the young
man who pledged his troth to a blushing lair one
at the altar back out at that time, because of that
pledget No, ha had never known of any young m*n
backing out under those circumstances—he was
going it to the death then. [Laughter ]
Next an army wa« organized to carry out the
provUioM of ihe temperance pledge, grand and
gubordinate divuiona and officer* were elected—
•igna, eounter»ign« and regalia adopted, and pro
rialoni made like to that of our forefather* for the
aid of the lick and wounded. Then, like our fore
fathera, there ware men upon the fence, who were
only waiting to Join that army which ahould be
▼ictorloua— politiciana lor instance, who trimmed
their aalla with the popular current—occasionally
now they bad deaertera, but temperance men did
not wtah to bare them ahot, but left then to the
worat company in the world—their own refla
tion* I
The moat formidable neutrality which they bad
now to eonlend with like their forefathers, was
that of those who called themselves churchmen —
He would give all due praise to those who stood
with them, but wished to allude to the delinquent
portion. They could give no reason tor not being
with the Temperance army, beyond that of their
own interest and appetite. They say that there Is
Bitting iii the Bible bd vacating or recognizing
Tnsperaoo« Societies, and therefore they tre op
posed to then. And yet these were the advocate,
of Bible and Missionary Societies and Buodsy
School*, when thire «ru not one word in the Bible
from Genesis to Revelation, about rack aocieties.—
The lecturer here recited a fable d> *criptive of the
horror* of Intemperance, and pointing oat the in
difference of a portion of the church to the aaiva
tion of high-spirited and noble young men from a
drunkard's grave.
Mr W. farther enlarge] upon aome of the de
ceptiong In ths uae of the traffic of apirituoul li
quors, detailing aome modea of preparing liquors,
that eviuently made the stomachs of a portion of
the audience conaiderably qualmish. We have not
room to tallow the addreaa farther.
Stabbing.—On Wednesday evening, between 8
and 9 o'clock, a negro named Warner Garriaon,
alave to Richard Davia, had an altercation with
another n«gro named Peter, alave to Benjamin
Beard, in Clarke ft Hatcher'a stable, concerning
aome mule feed. Peter, when cloae preaied by
Warner, puihed bim away, waa clinched by War
ner, fell, and in the struggle waa stabbed by War
ner two or three times in the neck and back part
of the head. Dr Parker atated that one wouod in
the neck waa a very aerious one, but that be
