After the usual compliments. Mi. Reed request
ed to see the imperial edict by which they were
commissioned to negotiate. It was produced by
Kweiliang. who, raising it reverentially above Ins
head slowly removed the yellow wrapper and
placed it in "his hands, at the same time furnishing
a copy for the archives of the legation Mr. Reed
in turn exhibited his own credentials, and fur
nished a copy. This done -Mr. Reed handed to
his interpreter, Mr. Martin, a paper reviewing Ins
owu course with reference to Chinese politics and
defining his present position. This was read to
the commissioners in Chinese, and some points
made the subject of further inquiry and explana
tion. It was agreed to refer 1 ire consideration of
the amendments proposed in the treaty to depu
ties, and that the ministers should only meet to
sign and seal the document w hen it should be
completed.
Mr Reed appointed Dr Williams, and.mquired
who the Chinese commissioners would appoint to
meet him. Kweiliang named Finn. his secretary
a shrewd, thin vissaged, thoughtful man, who
has figured largely in the present negotiations. It
was objected that, wearing only a crystal button
he was not of sufficient rank to be pitted against
the second man in our legation. Kweiliang then
named Chaubtajin. Hearing himself called, a
thick, bull-necked Tartar stepped out from the
herd of mandarins with the air of a bashful school
boy. There was no gleam of intellect in his coun
tenance, but a red ivory button blushed on the top
ofhiscap. One of the mandarins also announced
that he was a tsze, or heridelary viscount. With
such a weight ofdignity it was easy to excuse the
want of brains. No further objection was made,
and Mr. Reed merely hinted that he would not be
displeased to see Pien associated with the viscount
xpocting that {the deputies, each acting under
the instructions of his supeiior, would in the mean
time agree on the matter of the new treaty. Mr.
Reed proposed to me* t the imperial commission
ers for tlie purpose of affixing their signatures on
Thursday. But this was another unlucky day.’—
The commissioners objected to it and the meeting
was deferred till Friday. Mr Reed not choosing
to object to Friday as an unlucky day with the
superstitious among us. No answer having been
received to the President's letter. Mr Reed said
that he should expect the Emperors reply to be
delivered at the next interview and took leave.
Besides his immediate suite, Mr. Reed was ac
companied only by a small guard of marines.
The imperial commissioners exhibited nothing
of oriental pomp either in their personal apparel
or other arrangements, and ail the circumstances
of the meeting were characterized by a dignity and
decorum which would do credit to a diplomatic in
terview in any countiy.
On the morning of the 10th iust.. Keying called
on our minister. He was 72 years old, and appa
rently quite superanuated. His senses are failing’
with age: his sight and hearing an both much im-
E aired; and his voice is said by those who know

LITERARY MEN AND THE PI IILIC.
Strange notions appear to exist in some quar

to the public. We commented not long ago on
the very cool claim not nnfrequently set up on
bebalfof popular autliois to be subsidized out of
the national purse—if successful, on the score of
their mistortunes. We endeavored to show that
(except in certain very rare and special cases)
tlie claim is totally unfounded, and that the au

State endowment, whether in tlie shape ot pen

a still more offensive pretension, which lias been
practically advanced on behalf of literary men
by one distinguished member of the order. It
seems to be thought, by at least one favorite of
the reading public, that authors are entitled to
submit their private and domestic griefs and
grievances to the world, and to ask national sym
pathy for their family troubles. It further ap
pears to lie considered decorous, and dignified,
and manly for a popular writer, whose works are
read wherever the English language-is read to
use his public position and influence in dragging
before the world private individuals whose means
of self defence bear no sort of proportion to his
facilities for attack. We consider this practice
so outrageously impertinent as regards the public,
and so wantonly cruel as regards tlie private per
sons whose names are thus forced into a gratuit
otts and painful nqjorietv, that we feel called upon
to mark it for indignant reprobation.
Mr. Dickens some weeks back thought proper
to devote a page of his Household Words to a
statement relative to certain domestic troubles of
his, and to certain scandalous rumors to which
(as he informed the world) they had given rise.
Ha also resorted to the extraordinary expedient
of soliciting every journal in the kingdom to copy
a declaration referring exclusively to his own
family concerns. Although it contained little or
nothing directly offensive to any* individual, and,
in fact, mainly purported to be a defense of bis
own character against slanderous whispers, it
was taking a most unwarrantable liberty with the
public to trouble them with his private affairs.
The readers of Household Words expect a week
ly supply of words interesting to tlicir own house
holds and do not want revelations about Mr.
Dickens’ household. As for the “whispered ru
mors” which he contradicted at such a prodigi
ous expense of rhetoric, they were probably alto
gether new to nine-tenths of iiis readers; and in
any case, it a man thinks fit to give himself a cer
tificate of moral character, he many fairly be
called upon to publish it gratis. The thing passed
oft", however, with much less comment than it de
served. Mr. Dickens is a sort of spoiled child of
the public, and can take liberties which would he
fatal to most men. People started, wondered,
thought it a piece of abominably bad taste, hut
were hardly inclined to resent it. He gave his |
readers to understand that it was both his first
and his last offense against the proprieties of
journalism; and as the paper in question was
mainly self-exculpatory, there was a general dis
position to say nothing about a disagreeable sub
ject.
Within the last few days, however, a document
of a somewhat different description, attributed to
! Mr Dickens, has come before the world; a dueu-
pinion upon it. believing that all who tipi
ardinal principles of the party, and sustain its o
'atiizatiou by voting the Democratic ticket, are
rood enough Democrats for al! purposes.
4. That we have full and abiding confidence in
the ability, patriotism, and elevated purity of
character of James Buchanan, the present Chief
Magistrate of the United States, and in his wisdom
and experience to administer otir national affairs.
5. That we congratulate the country upon the
recent settlement by the present Democratic Ad
ministration of the pretended right, of Great Brit
ain to search or vist our merchant vessels, on the
high soils in time of peace, thus adjusting a con
troversy which had remained unsettled from the
foundation of our Government, and which had
already cost us one foreign war.

Minnesota, its proposed constitution shall have
been submitted to and approved by a vote of the
people.
7. That the legislative enacments of the last
Democratic General Assembly of Ohio were emi

the best interests of the State and the prosperity
of the people, and we are unalterably opposed to
negro suffrage and negro equality, without refer

we call upon the Legislature to take such immedi

ternational relations. He informed Mr. Reed that
theEmperor’s reply to tlie letter of the President
had been received, and that it would be delivered
at the interview of the next day It would be a
joyful day, he said, for our country when an epis
tle from his August Master should be delivered to
us for our President. In order to secure a proper
degree of respect, and prevent tlie occurrence of
anything ludicrous.it would be necessary to have
an understanding as to the ceremonial to be used
on the occasion. He accordingly proposed that
Mr. Reed should go through a pantomime or re
hearsal preparatory to the part he was to act. Mr.
Reed, of course, declined, merely saying that he
was ready to hear what Keying would expect of
him. “But are you not going to receive the letter
on your knees!’’ “No,” said Mr. Reed. “We
kneel only to the Lord of Heaven.” “But our
great Emperor is equal to Heaven.” “I will re
ceive it standing.” * Then you must raise it
above your head as a token of respect.” Mr.
Reed cut short the discussion by declaring that he
would receive it with no other forms than those
with which Commissioners Yau had received the
letter of our President.
On the next day, (the lltli) at 12 o’clock, Mr.
Reed proceeded with his suite and escort to the
Haikwangsze, to meet the imperial commission
ers As we approached, the aspect of the place
appeared very different front what we had seen it
before. Tere were the same dingy walls, but
they were transferred by some magic power to the
margin of a silvery lake,, whose waters flashed in
the beams of the noon-diay sun and whose bosom
was dotted with the islets of emerald greeu. The
shadows of the trees were distinctly visible, and
nothing hut the memory of the dusty plain tve
had previously seen in that direction appeared to
remind ns that the beautiful scene was not a reali
ty. It occurred to me that the name Haikwangsze
the Convent of the Sea of Light, was selected
with reference to this phenomenon, which in
bright sunny weather is always visible. The two
syllables “Haikwang,” Sea of Light, aptly indi
cate in a single word both the appearances and its
cause. .
This deceptive miraga serves the contemplative
inmates of the Convent as a memento of the chief
tenet of their philosophy, that all things are unreal
and that human life is bnt a shifting phaatasma-
goria of empty shadows.
On desending from his sedan, Mr Reed was con
ducted by Kweiliang to a table curtained with yel
low satin, and on which, sustained by an elevated
frame, lay a bamboo tube of the same imperial
color. That was the long-expected letter. The
mandarins eyed it with awful reverence, and
spoke of it with suppressed voices. Mr. Reed
thought they were going to ask him to kneel, and
again proposed the form with which the President s
letter had been received. To this they assented:
and Kweilang, raising it in both hands, placed it
in those of Mr. R-ed. who, respectfully elevating
it, gave it in charge to his son. 1 lie parties were
then seated . Ex-Commtssioners Yan and Ysang,
whom Mr. Reed had refused to meet until the ar
rival of the Emperor’s letter, being now present
Commissioner Yan still wore his coral button ; but
be bore a mark of the imperial displeasure, in be
ing deprived of his two-eyed peacock’s feather.—
He looked a little crest-fallen to be cast in the
back-ground, but no doubt congratulates himself
that he is no longer charged with the office of ne
gotiator. He has lost his Pavoniau plume, but his
head is safe, which is more than can be said of
Kweiliang and Hwasbana.
Mr. Reed was informed that Keying had, by a
decree just received, been appointed plenipotentia
ry and assesor with Kwei and Hwa. In answer
to Mr. Reed’s inquiry, whether they wished him
to retire as soon as his treaty should be signed?
they replied that they were very desirous that lie
should remain at Tien-tsin, and use his influence
to bring the difficulties with the English and
French io a happy conclusion
On the following day (Saturday,) Mr. Reed cal
led, according to appointment, to return the visit
of Keying. He was received at {lie Fung sliin-
Mian. or Temple of xEoius. Mr. Reed congratu
lated Keying on his promotion to the diginitv of
minister plenipotentiary. Keying, after thanking
him for his courtesy, inquired if be was not pleas
ed with the praise which the Emperor bestows on
our President. Mr. Reed replied by asking if he
had a eopy. He said he bad, and promised to
furnish a duplicate. He felt very much fiatt-red to
learn that his portrait was in Dr. Williams' Histo
ry of the Middle Kingdom, and expressed a de
sire that a copy might be sent him by the messen
ger whom lie would send the next morning with
the copy of the letter'
On Sunday morning the messenger came, but
be brought no letter, and informed us that Keying
bad just been summoned to the Capitol. We sup
posed he was called to receive some special in
structions relating to the management of foreigr
affairs ; but to-day we are startled by the intelli
gence that the old minister had no sooner reached
Fungcheau. with twelve miles of Pekin, than his
master commanded him to be pul under arrest and
tried on a charge of treason. So precarious ar
Orenta! honors! he wore the title of plenipoteuti
ary only four days, is now in prison, and is likely
to die on the scaffold or in banishment. His
crime is not precisely known, but it u. strongly
suspected that it was that of two much fidelity.-
He has probably on this occasion, as before inlm
memorials to the throne, “Spoke of the English
how greatly they are to be dreaded, ami urged :
mild and conciliatory policy;” aud again, per
haps, for telling the truth, and giving good coun
sel, he is spurned like a dog from the foot of the
throne.
If this be the case, it augurs ill for the dispose
tion of the Emperor. The damauds, however, not
only of the neutral powers, but of those who
might dictate their terms at the canon's mouth, are
so moderate, and the peril of rejecting them so
imminent, that he will hardly dare refuse to ratify
nar treaties. But, if compelled to yield, he has
the despot’s resource, of venting his displeasure
ou bis innocent ministers.
FfMhay, June IP, 1859.
The work for which our minister left his native
country is finished to-day. the task which has
cost him days of toil and nights of anxiety is done.
The new treaty was signed by the plenipotentia-
he can satisfactorily clear
himself of all responsibility for its publication,
must gravely damage him in the estimation of al)
men whose esteem is worth having. Even as the
matter stands, we are reluctant to believe th
he can have distinctly contemplated the publica
tion of the most reprehensible statement which
we extracted last week from a New York journal.
Yet (unless the whole thing is a downright for
gery) he must have perfectly well known that it
would come before the world. It purports to
have been forwarded to a friend who had “not
only full permission” to show it, hut was “begged”
to show it to any one who might wish to do justice
to the writer. It may have been an extreme
indecorum on the part of Mr. Dickens’ friend to
send it to a newspaper, but the proceeding can
hardly he described as a breach of confidence of
which Mr, Dickens is entitled to complain. If
he really wrote the narrative of his domestic
troubles and authorized its being shown to an
indefinite number of individuals, he must have
anticipatt d that it would eventually be treated
as public property.
Assuming, until better informed, that Mr. Dick
ens is at least indirectly responsible for its publi
cation. we can only characterize the proceeding
as a most unworthy abuse of a high literary posi
tion. This favorite of the public infotms some
hundreds of thousands of readers that the wife
whom he has to vowed to love and cherish has ut
terly failed to discharge the duties of a mother;
and he further hints that her mind is disordered.
“In the, manly consideration towards Mrs. Dicken
which I owe to my wife. I will merely remark of
her that 'he peculiarity of her character has throicn
alI the children on some one else." Ho
know,” and “cannot by any stretch of fancy
imagine, w hat would have become of them” if
they had only had their mother to take a mother’s
cate of them. He goes oil to allude to “a mental
disorder under which she sometimes labors,” and
which was seriously aggravated by domestic dif
ferences. If this is “manly consideration” we
should like to be favored with a definition of un
manly selfishness and heartlessness.

The great chess match between Germany and
America between M. llarrwitz, of Prussia, and Mr
Paul Morphy, of the United States, is now going
on in Paris at the Cafe de laRegence, in the Rue
St. Honore, the Headquarters of the lovers ot this
scientific game. The match is to be won by the
gaiuer of the first seven games. Harrwitz gained
the first two games; Mr Morphy gained the three
next. In the third and fourth games Mr. Morphy
made some of the most brilliant and startling
moves that had ever been seen in the Cafe de la
Regnance, and so great was the enthusiasm that
telegraphic despatches were sent to the Rhine, to
Merry, to the Duke ot Biuusw ick: and other great
players, begging them to come and s* e the won
der ot the world. Notwithstanding the watering
season, when all the fashion is supposed at least
to be out of tlie towu, the Cafe de (a Regence is
the scene of a crowd, ratter a mob. of distin
guished men. and even women, of all nationalities
j and all tongues. It is believed that Morphy will
beat Harrwitz, though it is not by any mt ans sure,
j and, in that ease, he becomes tlie champion of the

f[ Previous to his coining to Georgia, some twelve
years since, he had thesuperiuteiidency ot several
does not' important roads at the North, and had acquired a
reputation for practical knou t-ledge, sciont'fie at
tainments and administrative talent such as few
men possess.
About tlie year, IS Iff lie took charge t f the Ma
con, and Western Railroad, then in a mo-t pros
trate condition, but which under his management
soon became one of the most prosperous roads in
the South. During his connection with the Macon
and Western Road, Mr. F. resided in Macon where
he was universally esteemed and respected.
In September, 1S57, he was appointed to tlie
Monument to a Soldier —We see. a statement in
the papers to the effect that Ex-Gov. C. J. Mc
Donald and other Georgians propose t
monument to the memory of Gen. Charles. 11.
Nelson, at the town of Calhoun, on 2d of Novem
ber. We trust this is so. Gen. Nelson was a brave
soldier and accomplished officer, and his services
in the Indian aud Mexican wars entitle his name
and memory to some token of respect at the hands
of the people of Georgia.

yond his own private gratification, (hat a lady,
with whose conduct and temper the public have
not the remotest concern, is a bad mother, and is
not quite sane. In the grateful consideration
which we owe to a writer who has often derighted
and sometimes instructed us, we will “merely re
mark” that a high-minded man would shrink from
amusing the world with the story of his domestic
unhappiness, and that a man w ith a particle of'
generous feeling would scorn to ■drag before the
public the faults and infirmities (real or imagin
ary) of his wife.
We have treated this odious subject exclusively
in its broad public bearings. We express no
opinion—in fact, we have no opinion—about the
relative rights or wrongs of either of the parties
to the purely private difference which Mr. Dickens
has so indecorously and gratuitously made pub
lic. We simply resent as an impertinence and a
nuisance tlie attempt to enlist our sympathies, by 1
the improper use of a popnlar name, on one side
of a merely family quarrel. The precedent that
Mr. Dickens has sought to establish in obtruding
his domestic affairs on the public is one that can
not be too peremptorily reprobated by all who
care for the dignity and the moral influence of
literature and literary men. If an author is
slandered, let him sue the slanderer nr live down
the slander. If an author cannot live with his
wife, let him separate from her. But irt the name
of common sense, and manliness, and self-respect,
let him keep his private affairs to himself and his
private friends, and not trouble the public with
matters with which it has not the remotest con
cern.— S. 1’. Sews.

The Main Trunk Survey,
For some weeks past a corps of surveyors have
been busily engaged in running the line of the
Main Trunk from Withlacochee to Thoiiiasville.
They arrived here the beginning of this week, and
w e presume will proceed at once to lay out the line
from this place to Bainbridge and thence to the
western terminus on the Chattahoochee. We un
derstand Dr. Scriven, the President of the road,
will bo here shortly, and that it is contemplated to
let out the contracts upon the whole line at once,
that the work may go on simultaneously, aud he
finished as near as may be at the same time.
“With the lights before us,” we look confidently
to the completion of the Main Trunk Smith in
time to carry to market the crop of lrili", and
hope to celebrate this momentous event to the
Southern citizens of Georgia and the election of
another Democratic President of the United States

At the request of the Chairman, the Hon Rob
ert Toombs addressed the meeting: explained its
object to lie to effect .an extension of the Railroad
from Washington, through Elbert County, to Hart
well, in Hart County. He proceed to show that
not only would those particular sections be bene-
titled by development and connection with the
Railroads of our State hut that the proposed route
would connect tlie Georgia Railroad w ith the Ra
him Gap Road, and thereby open a communica
tion from Augusta to East Tennessee, by a route
one huudred miles, shorter than any other, and
place her iu successful competition with Charles
ton for the trade of that fertile country.
He earnestly recommended the adoption of such
measures as would at once proceed to the investi
gation of tlie proposed measure, and demonstrate
its utility to the country at large—and concluded
by moving, the appointment of a Committee to
confer with Committees, from the counties of El
bert and Hart, who had been appointed at a pre

and called upon them for reports from their respec

The Incoming Cotton Crop—Heather, Jy/.—The
weather for the last ten days, in this section of
Georgia, has been for the most part of the time,
clear and pleasant. The cotton crop is opening
very finely, and planters busily engaged in gather
ing tlie silvery fruit. In some places the cotton
crop will be short, but in general it will yield a
full and fairaverage turn out. As considerable
quantities of fresh lands have been opened since
last season, the cotton crop in Southern Georgia
may be expected to be increased also, over and
above the production of any year previous to this.

HEADACHE AND DEBILITY.
Mr. Silas J. Liscomb, of Birmingham, says :
“1 have found iu BCERHAVE’S HOLLAND BIT
TERS a remedy fui Headache and Debility. My wife

heads of Europe under similar circumstances!”—
Mr. Buchanan has since returned to the White
House.
