Searcely “a day passes but what we hear of a China woman being arrested for larceny, und taken ‘ into the Courts, when evidence is not forthcoming, and the woman discharged. All this appears reasonable and fair upon. its face, g and for along time imposed upon the community; buf, finally, it was discovered that these proceedings were a means adopted to get possession of escaped China women, who had got free from a life of prostitution by marriage or otherwiseyand ‘that the officers ‘denscious; to returii tie women to their former life.” “An incident of this kind vccurred in this City nbout six months ago. A Chinese woman was ‘brought before Judge Smith, charged with laréony by a China man. Another China man called upon a prominent ‘lawyer, in turn, and informed him that the _ woman was the slave of the @omplainant— had been kept‘as a prostitute agninst her will; that’ she was-in love with himself>and had escaped from her master to marry him; and was‘*-now arrested ‘én this complaint, which was false. The informant was pretty well known in the City as an industrious and honest. China .man, and his evidertt distress gave credit to his story. A searching investigation was had, which convicted the accused of falsehoud, and the woman was acquitted and married to her adorer. Ever since the couple have lived together as man and wife, when now comes a warrant from Folsom against’this woman and two others, ordering their arrest for a reeent larceny at that place, on complaint of the said master, when twenty respectable citizens cari téstify that she bas been in this place for months past. The object is obvious. * We must admit to the same prejudice agoinst this class of the community that is generally felt. We deem them a eurse to the State.

This state of things is brought to an end by the energetic action. of General Fremont aiid Govertior Gamble, aided by the vigilance of the subordinate Officers in command. Fremont has recently extended martial law over the State, within the army lines, and a system of passes has been adopted for the City and County of St. Louis, which will prevent much mischief. We heard an individual declaring on yesterday against this passport system as savoring ot despotism. He is one of those who can see no harm in the.hanging of Union men— the destruction of their property—the conveyance of intelligence of army movements to the rebels, or in the evils and distractions designed to be prevented. Gev. Gable has issued .a. proclamation calling for 42,000 men to suppress insurrection in the State. This-foree will be pat rapidly in the field, and will be ample to protect it fromits enemies. As-an—instance of the manner in which the officers of the army are determined to put down lawlessness, we copy the folowing from the Alta’s St. Louis correspondence : —Indighent at the repeated murders of the rebels bysfiring into cars, General Pope, as T-mentioned in—my_tast, is determined to preventin the future, and, accordingly, issued a proclamation, telling the people of that portion of Missouri in which he is located, what they might expect if they interfered in any way With the Union citizens residing there, or if they.molested the National forces who might be ordered thither on duty. The people of Marion couiity spparently regarded this document as worth be more than” the paper on which it was printed;.and proceeded to ascertain whether the Gefreral meant what he said, by firing into a train filled with Nationals troops. It is to be hoped they are satisfied with the result of their first experiment. No sooner did the intelligence af the outrage reach General Pope’s headquarters, than he dispatched Brig.-Gen. Hurlbut to “Palmyra, the county seat, with a force sufficient to overawe any hostile demonstration which might be made, and that officer in. his turn issued a proclamation to the people of the county, calling oa them to deliver a miscellaneous assortment of_ grocéries at his headquarters daily, before nine o'clock in the morning. For instance, they must furnish 687 pounds of fresh beef. a like quantity of corn meal, and beans, rice, coffee and sugar to match. Besides all this, they are informed that they must harl enough water for the use of the command. If anv of the articles named are not forthcoming, they will be taken from the most convenient place, and this operation will be repeated ‘‘ until the marauders who fired upon the train” are surrendered to the military authorities. oe BripeGe Unsare. — The City Dads, on Tuesday, posted notices on the Geld Run Bridge, warning al! persons that the city would not be responsible for any accident that might happen to teams in crosaing the bridge. No way is now left to get a load into town from Sacramento or Marysville —NeThe City Dads certainly exhibited a proper appreciation of the davgerous conditien of this bridge, in posting the notices above mentioned, as it is not safe even for a light buggy to crosa it. But as it is the only one leading into town from Sacramento or Marysville, they ought to have pointed out to teamsters ‘the next best way togetin. As they did not do it, however, we will volunteer our advice as to the best mode of getting to Nevada from those places. Gold Flat might. do if the bridges there were uot all shaky, but as they are all so, we can’t think of any other way for a heavy team, than to go ever the Placerville reute to Virginia City, and thence by the Honness Pass road, via San Juan to Nevada—speedy, very direct, and not more than fifty dollars toll.

"To test the aceuracy of the infarmation, one evening, as he sat next to her at dinner, he managed cleverly to jog the servant’s elbow, as a plate of mock turtle soup was offered her, which -of course. was upset over the young lady’s white dress of tulle lace. No complaint, not even a frown being evinced, the delighted suitor concluded that what he had heard was a mistake, and the marriage took place. —— But soon the lady’s real character displayriage, ‘ut never before ; and his wife, like a . human Stromboli, was subject to fiery eruptions every ten minutes upen an average. “ How is it, my dear,” said the happy husband, “‘ that having such a bad temper, “ you stood the ordeal by soup so well.” “* Why,” said the lady, “I may have appeared indifferent at the time; but, geod heavens !-yot should only li@ve gone into my room a little while afterwards, and seen the marks of teeth on the bedpost!” _ INFLUENCE oF A NewsPaPEeR.—Daniel Webster says smal! is the sum that is required te patronize a newspaper, and amply re. warded is its patron, I cire not _how humble or unpretending the gazette which he takes.

For instance, they must furnish 687 pounds of fresh beef. a like quantity of corn meal, and beans, rice, coffee and sugar to match. Besides all this, they are informed that they must harl enough water for the use of the command. If anv of the articles named are not forthcoming, they will be taken from the most convenient place, and this operation will be repeated ‘‘ until the marauders who fired upon the train” are surrendered to the military authorities. oe BripeGe Unsare. — The City Dads, on Tuesday, posted notices on the Geld Run Bridge, warning al! persons that the city would not be responsible for any accident that might happen to teams in crosaing the bridge. No way is now left to get a load into town from Sacramento or Marysville —NeThe City Dads certainly exhibited a proper appreciation of the davgerous conditien of this bridge, in posting the notices above mentioned, as it is not safe even for a light buggy to crosa it. But as it is the only one leading into town from Sacramento or Marysville, they ought to have pointed out to teamsters ‘the next best way togetin. As they did not do it, however, we will volunteer our advice as to the best mode of getting to Nevada from those places.

"To test the aceuracy of the infarmation, one evening, as he sat next to her at dinner, he managed cleverly to jog the servant’s elbow, as a plate of mock turtle soup was offered her, which -of course. was upset over the young lady’s white dress of tulle lace. No complaint, not even a frown being evinced, the delighted suitor concluded that what he had heard was a mistake, and the marriage took place. —— But soon the lady’s real character displayriage, ‘ut never before ; and his wife, like a . human Stromboli, was subject to fiery eruptions every ten minutes upen an average. “ How is it, my dear,” said the happy husband, “‘ that having such a bad temper, “ you stood the ordeal by soup so well.” “* Why,” said the lady, “I may have appeared indifferent at the time; but, geod heavens !-yot should only li@ve gone into my room a little while afterwards, and seen the marks of teeth on the bedpost!” _ INFLUENCE oF A NewsPaPEeR.—Daniel Webster says smal! is the sum that is required te patronize a newspaper, and amply re. warded is its patron, I cire not _how humble or unpretending the gazette which he takes.
