Acorrespondent writes from the North ; -4` The streets are running with blood. The mind refuses to picture to itself the horrors of_ such a scene. Soochow was ve years ago the commercial metropo- "lis of China, and its inhabitants number- ed over a million.

Not the aggregate of all the sufferings eiidiired by tlie'Poles troin brutal Cos- sack_s~,savuge peasants, or woiiian-whip- ping geiierals, who have brought all .l'u_i'ope to the briiik of war, would equal the atrocities committed in the sack ol this one city, taken vimially by British arms, with the assistance of her i\-lajesty s officers, with the sanction ofher Majesty s Government, and with supplies from her Maj;-sty s arsenals. By a letter received `by a private slcumerwfrum Slluxmglme, dated the 11th December, the above particulars relative to the massacre at Souchow are thus conrmcd:- Soochow is in nu uwlul stale,and the camuge has been some-` ihing1'rigl1'lful. ,l`he general has gone to vi$it`Gor_Jou, with 0. View towards pquiug things straight. Another private letter, dated Hong- Kong, December 15, s:1ys:-It appears that the rebel chiefs refused to surrender on the Footai s word that no unnecessary blood would be shed, whereou Gordon gotthe Footai s promise to himself, and `gave his word,on which they capitulalcd. The Footai got in, had his troops con- cealed about, and when Gordon_ was olllside; commenced a wholesale massa- cre,-t-omen, women, and children. Gor- don" heard of it, gathered a few men to- gether,-`--a'tnong the rest Count or`Priuce Wittgenstein,--and borke into the place; and theseenes theirwitnessetl were so revolting that the Prince says they fall loaded:and_' tired again upon every man- darin. and Imperial soldier they met.
