A PHANTOM REBELLION. The following letter appears in the N. Daily News.

Sir-In recent number of your excellent journal I read the following paragraph --

According to a momorist of Lit Sha-tang, Governor of Henan, published in the Peking Gazette of the 18th nitimo, the insurrection in that province, berdering the Chilli frontier pre festure of Tamningfu, note of which was published in the columns at the time, heanfter considerable diffionity bean at last ermebed. It took quite for months of almost continens fghting for the territoriel force of four Brigadierg-Generale of Honax (4,750 ruen each) and the Henshin or disciplined regiments (1,500 men) of the Chibli prefectura of Tamingfu to effect this partial victory."

Bat-if egos do not rise in the degroe in which the currency is debased, it seems to follow that the propteed dobasommt, hooter advantageons to our amplayers of labour, would not be much to the inferret of the labourers and ought to be told this. But we do not obory that the bingstallists have been very forward in telling them. The whole subject comes under the deciplina ei, and they show
