BevENGE OH" THE CHINESE.—The San Francisco "JVews Letter" thus drops upon a contemporary:—" The Oakland " Transcript" tbe most purely idiotic newspaper permitted by a public unconsciousness of its existence is endeavouring to incite the whites to rise up, and slay the Chinese. In Tuesday's issue it printed an editorial article about thirty inches long, studded as thickly with exclamation points as a graveyard with tombstones, from which we extract the following:— " The cry of revenge will spring from the throats of our people. Eevenge! for a thousand' well remembered wrongs; revenge ! for the curse they have brought upon our State; revenge! for the infamous institutions they would build up'in our midst; and remorseless deadly 'revenge! for the poverty and pestilence that hateful presence has spread through the land." We counsel the good people of Oakland to soak the head of this editor in a bucket of buttermilk ; the vacuum inside his skull is becoming unpleasantly warm."
