The reception of our minister took place on Monday morning (tlie 6tb) at 8 o'clock rattier an inconvenient hour for those who require* breakfast to fortify* them for the tangoes business.

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.

Strange notions appear to exist in some quar ters as to the personal relations of literary iron 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 thor “interest,’’ as such, lias no more right to a State endowment, whether in tlie shape ot pen sions or other wise than tlie hand-loom weaver interest, the distressed agricultural interest, or any other meritorious and unlucky class of the community.

Their hardly subdued whispers back to Bremen for repairs, arrived at this port prescribed by either side of those who differed in opinion upon it. believing that ail who uphold the retrograded somewhat fin his notions of our in- | meat which/ unless 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.

That the legislative enacments of the last Democratic General Assembly of Ohio were emi nently wise and judicious, calculated to promote 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 ence to shade or proportion to African blood, and we call upon the Legislature to take such immedi ate measures as will enable the people ot Ohio to effectually overcome the efforts now being made whether through the Judiciary or otherwise, to establish such suffrage and equality as the policy of the State. 8.

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.

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.

A large number of tbe citizens of Wilkes co. convened in the Court House at Washington on Tuesday 28th, and were organized by calling M. G. Robert, Esq. to the ehair and appointing Kobt.

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 vious meeting in those Counties, and were present and called upon them for reports from their respec tive Counties.— H'ilkes Republican. 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. f Wire Grass Reporter.
