A TLAk FOB THE ABOLIHOK OF SLAVERY.
[Pieaae consider tL'i < nfidentla! unt.. further
notice, as much w iil probab y need to be done be
fore the matter is made pu‘
When a tuman beinx is oi upon by a robber,
ravitber, murd .rer, or tyrant of any kind, it : ’ t„_
duty of the bystanders to go to bis or ner rescue,
by force, if need be.
In general, nothing will excuse mem lii toe i on
perlormance of tl.is duty except the pressure o.
higher duties, :;f such there be) inability to afford
relief, or too great danger to themselves -r others.
This duty being naturally iaberent ia human >•
iationa and necessities, governments and laws are
of no auiL rity in opposition to it. Iftbeyiuterpoce
themselves, they roast be trampled under foot with
out ceremony, as we would trample under foe’ law?
that should lorbid us to rescue men from wiid beasts
or burning buddings.
On this principle, it ir the duty of the nou
alaveooiders ot iliti country, in tt.eir pr;vate cap p >
ity as individuals —of the government—to go to the
rescus of toe slaves from the bauds of their op
preesora.
This duty is so se'.f evident and natural a cue,
that he who pretends to doubt it should lie regard
ed either as seeking to evade it or as himt-o.t a ser
vile and ignorant tkave of coirupt institutions or
customs.
Holding thesecpiaiouß, weproposetp act upon
them. And we invite ail other oilmens o! the
United States to join us in the : nterpriae. To tu
able them to judge of its feasibility, we lay before
them toe following programme of measures which,
we think, ought tube adopted, and would be sac
cesaful :
I. The formations of associations throughout tue
country, of a!i persons who are willing to pledge
themselves publicly to favor the enterprise, and
render assistance and support of any kind to it.
h. Establishing or eusiaiuixg papers to advocate
the enterprise.
and. Refusing to vote for any person for ar.y e vil
or military office whatever, who is not publicly
commuted to ibe enterprise.
4. liaising money anti n idtary equipments.
5. Forming and discip iuing such military com*
panies as may volunteer for actual service
ii. Ue'achiug the non alaveholdc.B of the South
from all affiance with ihe slaveholders, and inducing
them to co operate with us, by H|ip.-vis :o their
safety, interes', houo , juslice and humauity.
7. ’informing Ihe slaves (by emisaarie, to be sent
among them, or through ‘.he non slaveholders of the
South) of the plan of emar.cipatio.. that they may
be prepared to co-operate at the proper tiui'*.
8. To encourage emigration to the South of per
eons favoring the movement.
!). When tue preceding preliminaries shall have
sufficiently prepared the way, Ifcen'tj land militaiy
forces (ai numerous points at the eamt time,) iu
the South, who shall ra'se tbe standard of freedom,
aud call to it Lte tlavee, and such free persons as
may he willing to join it.
10. If emancipation shall lie accomplished only
by actual hostilities, then, as ail the law. cl war, of
n. ture end of j'lel ice, will require that the euianci
pat.id slaves enaU ho compensated fortl 1 rprevious
wrong's, we avow it our purpose to make such
compensation, so far as the property of the slave
holders and their abettors c-u compensate them.
And we avow our intention 10 in ke known this
determination to the slaves beforehand, with a view
to give then? courage and self-respect, to nerve them
to look boldly into the eyes of their tyrant >, and to
give them true idees of the relations of justice ex
isting between themselves and their oppressors.
11. To remain in the South, alter emancipation,
until we shall have established, or have siren .- iab
iislied, each governments es will secure the future
freedom of tbe persons emancipated.
And we anticipate that tbe public avowal of these
measures, and our ooen ard zealous preparation
lor them, will have the effect within some reasona
ble time —wo trust within a sow veais at fariiiest—
to detach the government and the couutry at large
from the interests of the slaveholders; to destroy
the security and value of the 6lave property; to an
nihilate the commercial credit of the slaveholders,
and finaffy to accomplish the extinction of slavery.
We hope it may he without blood.
If it be objected that this scheme proposes war,
we eirafes < the fact. It does propose war—private,
indeed— but nevertbelei i war, it that should prove
necessary. And our answer to ihe objection is,
that in revolutions of this nature it i:t neeeeiary that
private individuals should take the first step. The
lea must he thrown overboard, the Uastile must he
tor/1 down, the tirst gun must be fired, by private
persons before anew government can Le organized
or tbe oid one be forced (for nothing but danger to
itself wi.' 1 force it) to adopt the measures which the
insurgents wdl have in view.
If the Ame.-ioau governments, fetate op national,
would abolish Slavery, wo .vould leave ti;o work in
their hands. JlutAS they do not, aud apparently
wiii not. we propone to force them to do it, or to do
it ourselves iu defiance of them.
If any considerable comber of tho American
people will join us, the work, will be an easy and
bloodless one ; lor slavery can five only in quiet,
and in tbe sympathy or subjection of sb aiound it.
We, the subscribe*:.', residents of tue town of
in the county of ——*-, iu the State o)
J believing in the principles, aud approving
generally of ihe measures, set forth in the ioiegouig
“Fla , for the Abolition of Slavery,” and IB the

TO THE NON SLAVEHOLDERS OF THE COUTH. \
We ’ present to you hefswith “A Plan for tV ■
Abolition of Slavery,” and t-olieit your aid to carry
it into execution.
Your numbers, combined with tuoecoflhe slaves,
wiil b'ive you all power. You have Uul to lise it
and the work is done.
Our plan then is—
1. To make war{opeul vor secretlv as circumstances
truiy dictate) upon the property of the slaveholders
arid their abetters—not lor its deatruetior, if that
can easily be avoided, but to convert it ta the use of
the slaves If if cannot be thus converted then we
odviie in destructioa. Teach the slaves to burn
their tuaeteis’ buildings, to kill their cattle and
homes, to conceal or destroy farming uteneile, to
abandon labor in seed time aod harvest, and le’
crops perish. Make slavery unprofitable in ‘ h ; s
wav, if it can be done iu no other.
2. To make slaveholders objects of deriwon and
contempt, by them whenever they shall
be guilty of flogging their slaves.
:! To Visk no general insurrection until we ct the
North go to your assistance, or you are sure o
success without our aid _ (
4. To cultivate the friendship and confidence cl
the slaves; to consult with them ae to their rights
r.ud interests, and the means of promoting them :
to show your interest in their welfare and your
readiness to assist them ; let them know that they
have your sympathy, aud it willgivethem coni.
self respect and ambition, and make men of them—

5 To change your political institutions as soon

wi’.neeees and jurors, give no testimony and no
verdicts iu support of any elaveholding claims ;
perform no military, patroi.or police service ; mob
slaveholding oouris. jails, and sheriffs ; do nothing,
in short, for sustaining slavery, bui everything you
safely and rightfully can, publicly aad privately,
for its overthrow. , ,
White rascals of the South 1 V\ dung tools of tte
slave-holders! You, who diive slaves to their
labor, hunt them with dogs, and ting them for pay
without asking any questions! We k*ye a word
specially for you. You are one of the mam pillars
of the slave system. Sou stand ready o do til
that vile aud inhuman work, wide b must be done
by somebody, but which the uiore decent slave
holders themselves will not do. Yet vj havebeard
one good report even of yon It is. that yon have
no sueb prejudices against eoior, nor against liberty,
as that you would not as jfiihugiy earn money j y
helping ® to Canada a; cauibing a fugiuve
and returning him to his master. I* you are thus
indifferent as to whom you serve, wa advise you
henceforth to serv* the slaves instead ot -asir
masters. Turn about, ami helo the robbed to rob
the robbers. The former nan afford to pay you be:
ter than the latter. Help theta to get possession of
the property which is rightfully Uigur due, aud they
can afford to give you liberal commtsaiotH. Help
them flog individual slaveholders, and they nkust
fotd to pay you ten Utwus as much as you ever re
ceived for flogging slaves. Help them to kidnap
the slaveholders, and they can afford to pay you
more than you now get for catching mgitive slaves.
Be true to the slaves, and we hope tbey wi” pay
you well for your services. He false to Ihem, aiirf

IntrreiinK from Japon.
! Late intelligence from Japan states that Mr.
: Rarrie, the United States Consul General, had left
Nagasaki, acd arrived at Simoda, on tbe ‘J7th June
, The parting between Air. Harris and tbe Governor
{ of Nagasaki is described very afiecting. Mr.
1 Harris’ laet words were. “ I came here among you
j ai a f'-ranger. and you received me a** one of your
j own people, and your friendly acts and feelinjra to
ward* me and my coaoGy nev*-r be forgotten
! by my countrymen.'’ On leaving, Mr. Harris pre
j eenten the proper officers with five bu'jdred 31**xi
j can dollars towards tempie ii! which
I he had been lodging, ee it wee to be restored to Be
original purpo&e.
On the 3<tb June, 5 T r. Harris left Simoda, and
arrived at oa the same day On the -‘th
of July, tbe anniversary of American Independence,
Mr Dorr, who had been appointed Consul at Kana
|?awa by Mr. Harris, boieted in font of bis
residence, and the day wa3 duly celebrated by tbe
American-j.
Some inconvenience wa* begicuirg to be felt by
the alrangera from tbe fact of tbo Government
bavin# established a regular iiet of prices for pr;*-
viaiens, rnsking them over one hundred per cent
dearer than they were during the spring Eggs
sold a* ‘Ai cents per dozen, ducks $lB per dezer
fowls si> to $3 per dozen, ew*t-t potatoes $3 50 per
cwt., treah iiah 20 cents per 16 , and other article?
in proportion. Lacquered w*are, porcelain, and
other articles lad gone up fifty per cent. T'ie
figur -d silks are described as the richest in the
world ; but very dear. A single dress costs about
SIOO.
Mr. Harris received information that the Japan
ese Ambassador, with about forty of his suite, will
leave Jeddo in February next for tho United States,
ar.d Commodore Tattuad ha# asked permission oi
| the Secretary of tue Navy to convey them hither in
, h’s Hag ship.
On the sth of July Mr. Harris left Kanagawa,
a**d on the 7th arrived at .Jeddo, irhere they landed,
with tbe usual salutes. The following cflicers ac
comp&aied him :
Oapt. Nich ’-ron, Lieuts. Stemble and Pattisou,
L'eut. Jacob of the marines; Fleet Surgeon
Spots wood ; Chief Engineer Danly ; Drs. Philips
acd Wales ; Sailing Master Bacon; Assistant En
gineers Jackson, Williams and Uepaonos ; Mid
shipmen Kelley, Pritchett and Yates; Sailmaker
Bradford; Carpenter Thompson; JohnHeatk, of
the house cf that name of China.
The ceremony of landing and the reception, to
gether with a description of the temple assigned to
Mr. Harris for his res.dence. are thus described by
an eye witness:
Two hours sailing and puiling brought us to that
point. As we passed the different forts, ilio
Japanese troops of the same arranged themselves
along in & line. When we reached the wharf the
party was met by about fifty (dicers and a large
number of police, with ‘heir e: :ffs of iron (with
ringaon the uppermost end, which make quite a
noise as they strike tbe other end upon the ground)
to keep the crowd back. No lees than fifty thou
sand Japanese were on the ground to w iUirss, for
the liret time, a party of twenty-four foreigners
entering tiia), long closed city. It rained at the
time quite heavily, but they maintained their
ground, and when ordered by the police, they fell
back aud gave us a char ce to form a lice, and to
march a few rods to take the palanquin which was
in wailing for us. This bring all done, the Ameri
can ensign, borne by a Japanese with two swords,
started to give the lead, and tbe train proceeded
through some of the principal streets to the temple
ot Jso JSbook-Je*, in - bat part, of Jeddo ce'lsd Arab
(aithe'chy is divided into twenty districts aud is
known each by 1 heir names) followed by an im
mense crowd. At times the officials and police
had a pretty severe task to keep the streets clear;
yet all of that vast crowd us Japanese were, in
every respect, perfectly civil, and ail anxious to get
a view of h’> large a party of Americans who had
bien permitted to come amongst them.
Tbe procession was over one hoar reaching tho
temple above epekenof, aud which had been given
up to Mr Harris by ordei cf the Empeior for his
present residence. In time he will be allotted a
temple near to the district in which tho Tykoon or
Spiritual Emperor lives, and all the princes and
officers ot Slate. On the route we passed by seve
ral of the celebrated dimion of olden times, and
some ot Loose of this generation, in which some of
the royal blood and wealthy merchants reside, sur
rounded by ail of their households, including ail the
wives and mis rcs j es they may fft to keep, iu
eluding all the servants, iV , &c. One, which
attracted my attention more than the rest, vrr.s, as
nigh $ i I could judge, built of a whitish kind ol
stone, and ail of mile equate, with a very magnifi
cent gateway on each to io. The dimios aro built
on nil Jour sides, and the gardens, yaraw, &c., are
all in the centre. In tbo immediate neighborhood
of Mr. Hams’residence in one of those princely
mansions. Arriving at the court which loads from
the Btreet to the three temples back, including the
one assigned to our Minister, we found the sane
entirely blocked up, aud it wag sems time before
the officers and police succeeded in effecting ”
pe?sage bo that we could proceed on. This ilon*
w e beheld before nn acme thirty stone steps, ex
tending across the court or avenue, which is ”.e iy
200 loot in width. We ascended them,and walking
about a hundred feet further on, on good st one
flagging, vre ascended about thirty more steps,
when we came up to a monster of a gate work, built
of heavy Umbers ana planking, and all richly
carved.
Suspended directly in Iron I of U.e gae w’as a
monster of a lantern, larger thao a flour barrel,
elegantly gilt. The gates being thrown open, we
were conducted into the grand yard or grounds of
the various temples ; tuijirg to the right, we w ere
ushered into the Juu-Shook-Jee, the present house
of Mr. H. Drr.itg this time the crow w had filled all
the grounds around the building aud in tho court,
and oy order of th* First Lieutenant Governor the
officers and police dear* them all off, and during
our stop of two days, ropes were stretched across
the same, with a large party of officers and police
to keep the people back, so that we should not be
annoyed.
The temple Jan-Skook-Jeo ia one hundred an 1
sixty live feet iu length aud seventy-live wide, and
with the use of the Japanese matting, or eliding
screens, it can be divided into twenty-four comfor
table apartment?. Attached to it ie a large ccob
houee, wash house, apartments for his porvants.
6ic. It is now divided an follows : le r gedining ha'l
.seventy feet in length, two large parlors, recep
ti,on room, private < lib?, private parlor, and
ten sleeping apartments, all c.oe floor. It is
all furnished in a peat but plain manner, (having
piirchaeed t)ie mine at Shanghai, on uia lats visit
there.) The whole building is covered over with |
th ok, heavy Japanese matting, whiph was furnish- ‘
ed by order of the Emperor. This, as well as the
adjoining t emples, are surrounded with ail kinds of
forest and fruit trees ; some of the former are tho
handsomest that any of us had ever Been in any
| part of tho world. In the rear of this residence is a
j beautiful winding hill, covered over with beautiful
1 ;>hade trees, and under which Mr. Harris.will, I have
j 40 dfiqbt, take much pleasure in the hot summer
’ 4t the foot of the hill id a line pond,
i &boii- ops f?et wide, containing eome of

wiiue o” thfe euftiico are sLbvn Jarge number of
mandarin other kinds of cjjojtee ducks, ijbtch
Mr. llarria hao, at coat cost, ooileoted duitOK fits

‘'ihe ceremony of pavtrkinjj refreshments has
been so .often described, that it is unnecessary to
give a of the repast the party partook
of, by the Empetor-e .orders.
A juggling exhibition, iwbi ( ch the Americans at
tended, on invitation of the Lie^Lsfjjjnt-GoYernor,
is thus described:
Arriviug at the place, or play house, tbs front. v
found comoietely filled up, and it req tired eotne
exertion cn ih.e pan of the oflffoials to clear tiie road
that we might enter t ! io building. Being in, and
seated, wo w>re served with sore j-efreshu!Ds,
nuts, arsakt, pegiihcs. tc., tec. ; then the otd
women und girls enteiid the alage, the former per
forming some devilish sort of noise on about U?
odd looking wooden and bamboo instrument as I
have ever met with ia all my travels. To tliis
uittsifl the girls went through all sorts of man,<.a
vres, wtiui. wfc suppesed was intended for dancing.
That over, then same S-d awful screeching or yell
ing, which we were informed by our interpreter
was a Japan love song. Thafos-ey, a few males
wont through various performances—jumping, roll
ii g, tumbling, showitjg their various 1 ricks with
money, cards, throwing half a dozen eggs up at.-
time, aod catching them all before they fell to the
floor, &c .
liut which wa. Ifo, Rjost interesting, the exhibi
tion within or the noise of thp multitude outside ?
I shall decide that the latter wa*, uni f. b#t the Jeddo
juggling establishment, with closed door., pad raki
gud no circulation of pure air, was a complete self,
and not worth free tickets or the shoe leather that
we wore cue in order to reach the establishment, or
playhouse. As it. Ute performers, the male poiiion
of them were a decent s(a of fellows, without much
tact for their business. If they nd, they certainly
would have given us a better entertatunfopt. As
to tne female performers, they were young, neaglg
white, with keen black eyes and pretty brown hair,
and more willing and acquainted with their part of
the nlay than the others.
Alter spending about one hour in that close den,
w under the escort -f the officers and iwstprn car
riers, refoniedto our lodgings, followed by the saute
large crowd almost worn out with fsifgue. At
midnight, just as wefopj all got to bed, the building
aud ah in it commenced to tremble, and a distant
npmbUcg was heard. If lasted niiisfoßn seconds,
and .-a*, bs set down R3 a pretty sev. re sho*u of an
earthquake lam confident that none of the in
mates (save the eapaneze ssivants) would ever
flinch a: the t rand of c but I do know that
two or three of the p“ ’ ■ y ; elty rapidly left their
beds and ran out of the house, fearing t-imt the if end
of life hau a.riyed.
The spit dual Emparor ia spoken of as a very be
nevolent men, but veiy ispere in peni-hug any
vio'ation of the Imperial laws.
YV bile at Jeddo. Captain Nicholson mad. a dsme nd

To demand the Japanese prom-sadau s tswer
on the next day at 10 o’clock; but they entire y
failed to comply with their prond-e. As Cep f “n
Nicho'son was Uc-irous of retun-rg to his ship, he
seiec-.t i Dr. Phillips to meet the Goveurpr and
arrange the whole affair for aim. Dr. Pbi'lips im
mediately despatcheda messer .er to ths Uc /truer,
saying tim! unless some officers were seut to confer
with on the subject by bP. M. of the same day he
wmld proceed Umseif to the Governor’s palace to
demand satisfaction for the disrespect shown to him
ts the milit-ry representative of this country ap
pointed to ret in the absence of his commanding
officer, Capt. N.
The matter was not, however, arranged without
many shifts and evasions. till, at length, the forest
ot a gannenade forced the cuthoiiries to coma to
an uaderetar ding with the An erica i.
The minister stated ti at a aw hrd been passed
miking it oblige ory upon them to issue only the
new and depreciated er n to foreigoe: i but ints
much as we would cot retaive or recognize foe
new coin, they would call their Ministry together rs
soon es pci ibte for the pr-pe :e of changing the
law; nut as that would -.eqir-esome days to do,
they hoped he would accept the cj ! y preposit’in
left ia foeir power to offer, viz : to buy all he
wished, and pay for the goods as scou ae conve
nieni after the catiency should be altered and made
conformabls to our interpretation of the treaty.
As this was a very great concession on their parr,
and a virtual surrender of the question, it was ac
cepted until the matter could be more fully and
properly arranged by his Excellency the American
Minister.

dressed exactly alike, end during the stay of their
mother they each to k 8 stand iu separate doors

who was walking slowly by saw one of them, and
struck by the littie fellow’s intelligent couutenar.ee

” My name is Willie, sir,” replied the little cite.
“ Ah, a very pretty name, and a very pretty
boy,” said tbe old gent, pattiughim on the head.
“ Here's ti dime for you.”
Passing on to the next door he observed Walter
standing iu the samepostu-e that Willie had occu
pied, and supposing it was Willie who had run there
to see him as he pEssed, he stopped again to take
another admiring look at him.
“ Do you live in Mobile, Willie 1” asked the old
gent.
‘* My name ain’t Willie,” said Walter.
” Wny didn't you just now tell meat tho other

“ No, sir, my nams is Waller
“ Oh, I thought you said -Willie,’ a while ago,

“ I ain't been in the other door, aud you didn't
give me a dime,” said Walter.
The old geullemau looked at lorn a moment, as
though tho good opinion ho had formed was fa-t

door Toe old gent looked at him steadily.
“Ah ! Walter,” said he ‘-you shoulu’ut tell stories.

“I aint told no stories, sir, and -any name aint

Dr. Forbes’ I.ester so Archbishop lliiatiCH.
The following letter, which we received on
Thursday from Rev. Dr. Forbes, anuouucing his
abandonment of the Catholic Church, has been
withheld from pub.ication in consequence of the
absence of Arcbbiehop Hughes, to whom it was
aadrereed, but we inter from its appearance in a
morning cor,temper- y tlat that prelate has re
turned, and bT himself given it to the press.
Tbe announcement ot Dr. Forbes’ retirement
from the Catholic communion, which we made on
thefillth, was not, g oetally credited even by tbe
Catholic p;tests themselves, who supposed it was
an exaggerated repetition of the fact that he had
re.-igued the caro of St. Anne’s church in this city
some mouths ego, owing to a dislike of the arbitraly
exercise by the Archbishop of his authority over
the interior clergy, which imposed an unpleasant
restraint on o:ie accustomed for many years to the
less stringent discipline of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The repoit created great sensation, but
the cxplanat'm proved unfounded. Dr. F’orbes,
after nearly i. u yours’, xpeiience as amember and
priest of the Unman Catholic Church, ptonounces
his adhesion to it a grave error, and founds his con
version from it not on personal disaffection, but on
doctrinal objections to tho Roman Catholic estab
lishment.

New York, Oct. 17,1809.
Mont Rev. John Hughes. D. V , Archbishop, dj-c.:
Most Reverend Bir: It is now nearly ten years
since, under your auspices, I laid down my minis
try in the Protestant Episcopal Cliurob, to submit
myself to the Church of Home. The interval, as
you know, has not been idly spent; each day has
bad its responsibility and duty, and with these have
come experience, observation, and the knowledge
of many things not so well understood before. The
result is that I feel I have committed a grave error,
which, publicly made, should be publicly repaired.
When I cams to you it wo, as 1 stated, with
a deep and conßoieations conviction that it was
necessary to b in communion with the See of
Rome; but this conviction I have not been able
to sustain in face of the fact, that by it the natural
lights of man and all individual liberty must be sacri
ficed, nor only so but the private conscience often
violated, and one forced, by silence at least, to ac
quiesce in what is opposed to moral truth aud vir
tu". Under these oircumetrices, when X cal! to
mind how slender is the foundation in tha earliest
ages of the church upon whica has been reared the
present Papal power, X can no longer regard it as
imposing obligations upou me or any one eise. I
do now, therefore, by this set, disown and with
draw rnysell from its alleged jurisdiction.
X remain, moat reverend sir,
Your obedient servant,

Forty Shim and Nearly KM) Lives Lost.—
During the past week, no fewer than 4(1 total
wiecks have been posted on the books at Lloyd’s.
Among the more calamtous were the destruction by
fire of the ship Sohah Jehau. She was bound from
Calcutta to the West Indies, and had on board 300
Pooly emigrants. For four days ever- effort was
made to isave the ship and the unhappy creatures
cn board and ultimately three rafts, tuowded by 300
souls, were ret adrift and have never since been
heard of. The master, officers, and crew, about 60,
were picked up in a very distresjud condition, five
da\B after, by .’he-li'p Vasco de Gama. The Ad
metis, screw steamship, was completely wrecked
near Caps Northumberland, on the coast of West
ern Australia, and 87 lives were lost. Another
heavy loss is the total wreck of the well known
American clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas, which
took place on the pyramid shoals in the Straits of
Malacca, on the ti’h or August. She was of 1,988
tit tip ■ and had made some ot the most rapid passag
es on record irom China. The English ship Chin
churah Eastaway, from London for Calcutta, was
lotalty lost on the Carper Sands; arid the ship
Thomas Brassey, from Bombay so t Liverpool, was
abandoned off the Cape of Good Hope; the City of
Calcutta,f.om Calcutta for the Clyde, was wrecked
in the River Ilooghly ; the liellespout steamer
lurutik on a rock ut leaving Naples, and went down,

The proceedings throughout were of a’deeply inte

previous Convention, it is said, has proved so pro
ductive of good to the future prospects of the Epis
(t.onsl Church, especially in regard to the progress
ot the missionary worfc. Five Bishops have been
consecrated, three of whom are to enter upon Dio
ceses never before under Episcopal supervision.
Two great Dicceses have beeu admitted iDto union
with the General Convention, and two Missionary
Bishops elected. While it was thought inexpedient
to elect, 8t present, a Missionary Bishop for the
Empire of Japan, the interests of the Church in that
country have” been placed under the supervision of
the Bishop of China. In addition to these impor
tant results, a vast amount of bueineea was trans
acted, pertaining to the affairs of the Episcopal

the pu r poee for which they were to be u-ed. At ail

against the United States and Virginia, ti much as
if he had been found using, in our owif State, the

Tho Tribune tells how tho young lady made the
“catch,” as follows:
While on a visit to this city last January Don
Esteban, following the custom of those by whom he
was surrounded, gave himself up to calls aud inter
changes of seasonable compliments. At this time
he met Miss Bartlett. Through the medium of hie
interpreter he proffered adulations From the spark
of attachment thin brought forth, a ffame arose
which terminated in a warmth of affection compel
ling the reliuquishment of the strangers heart. The
course of their true intimacy was smooth and serene,
until Don Esteban was stricken with fever and
ague, aud underwent the inevitable privations of
such a misfortune. Confinement within the walls
of the St. Nicholas did not, however, reDd asunder
the.ties that had been formed, in his iiluees the
young iady visited and ministered unto him. Her
presence mitigated the asperities of ague, and her
emiie dulciffed the bitterness of quinine.
Don Esteban is some inches ehorter than tbe lady,
darkiehiy disposed in the matter of complexion, with
heavy h.fff-curted black whiskers and moustache to
match, and a Castillian fire in his deep set eye con
firming the resolute earnestness of his countenance,
and is apparently about fifty-five years old.
The Hawk and Snake. — l witnessed yesterday,
a singular fact in natural history. Walking out m
the woods, Home three miles north of the city, in
company with Mr. G., he called my attention to a
haw k, around which was coiled a common black
snake. Upon close inspection,, we could not dis
cover whether the bird was alive or dead; but the
snake being unwilling to release his prey, reared
about six iucheß of his neck, and with quivering
tongue, bade us defiance.
This afforded us an opportunity, by placing a gun
very near, to shoot off the head without injury lo
the body. At the fire of the gun tho two coiis which
encircled his throat relaxed, and the hawk sprung
up aud flapped his v/iugs.
Tut! hawk was of our largest variety, in fine
plumage, and weighed several pound*, while the
suake was only about one inch iu diameter, auii
about 34 inches in length, aud bore no minks of
vioience on his body.
The ouly injury the hawk had sustained was the
loss of the toes of one foot, which it would seem
instinct had taught his c-nakeship were armed with
talons, which must be removed.
How did a snake of a few ounces capture such a
bird 1 Was it by charming, or did the hawk pounce
upon the reptile, which by agility eluded him, and
in turn became his captor?
Man;, years ago i shot a hawk with a smaller
snake hanging out of bis mouth, while he was di
gesting tbe head and oody.
The black snake is a constrictor, like tbe boa, and
is not poisonous, but is said to be able to kill a rat
tle snake in a fair tight.
What, is not lees singular, the hawk when opened
contained a snake about a toot and a half long—
either a chicken or black snake.

Foundering of the Proreixer Troy in a
Gale —Eighteen Lives Lost. —The telegraph has
already brought tho brief announcement of tbe loss
of the propeller Troy on Lake Huron, and the almost
miraculous escape of three ol the crew, the ouly
survivors *f Ihe fearful catastrophe. There were
twenty six persons in all aboard the vessel at the
time ehe foundered, ali of whom, so far as is now
known, with the exception of the first mate, wheels
man and second engineer, were lost. The Detroit
Advertiser says :
The boat foundered at 8 o’clock, on Tueeday
morning, about tau miles south of Point Aux
Barques. The wiud wss blowing a terrific gale at
the time, mskiug a complete breach over tho ves
sel, extinguishing her tires and very soon filling
her. Tho captain wa3 very cool and firm, and,
when lie saw lhat the versel must go down, made
deliberate and e mple preparations for the safety of
al! on board. Had his orders been strictly obeyed,
the result would have been fer different. The
company on board consisted of twenty-six persons,
of whom eight were pastengers.
When the vessel began to fill, tbecaptain secured
tho lite-boat, and placed the passengers, together
with the chambermaid and first engineer, in it. A
quarter boat, in good condition, was assigned to
the balance of the crew, the captain intending to
find passage in the life-boat. There was still a
yaw! which was unappropriated, but which was
considered uneeaworthy.
In the consternation incident to the moment, the
quarter-boat was launched contrary to orders, into
which a number oi the crew sprang, overloading it
and swamping it. Toe life-boat was then launched,
and the party apportioned to it taken aboard, when
the propeller giving indications of immediate sink
ing, a rush was made that overloaded the boat, and
she had neariy swamped, when the captain drove a
portion of the crew back. In the rush, however,
the oars were lost, and the boat was left at the
mercy ol the waves. When last seen Bhe was lying
broadside to'he sea, and probably could not carry
her load a great while
The yawl was the last boat left, into which
George F. Plumley, the wheelsman, and J. C.
Barber, the second engineer, seated themselves.
They, with the first mate, Marcus Lake, were all
who were left on board. Seeing no means of ren
dering assistance to those in the water, and the pro
peller settling very I’aßt, the mate got into the yawl
jußt as the hull sunk, and the parly were floated off.
They had secured one oar, with which they man
aged to steer their leaky craft. They found it im
possible to make the American shore, and accord
ingly headed across the lake. Two of them steered
while the third kept bueily at work bailing. The
boat leaked so badly that it; required constant work
to keep her free, and besides the sea was roiling
very high and they shipped a good deal of water
In this way they ran across the lake, landing eafely
at Bayfieid, three miles below Goderich, about 7
o’clock in the evening, having been nearly eleven
hours in the yawl.
The ErLcstoN at Wilmington, Del.— The ex
plosion of Dupont’s powder-mills uearsWilinington,
Del., Friday, occurred about one quarter to eleven
o’clock, A. M., while the men in the lower or hagley
yard were employed in loading powder dust (as it
is called when in a certain condition) at the press
room, to be conveyed to one of the other mills to
go through another process. A one-home cart
stood opposite the press-room door, partly loaded.
The press room “blew up” with a terrible crash;
the composition room immediately followed; a
minute or two later the glazing-room, and then
two rolling-mills simultaneously.
Seven men were killed and another had his arm
broken. The wind was northwest, and high at the
time, which deadened the sound so much in the
immediate vicinity that the men iu the upper yard
did not cease work on the instant, and Mr. Henry
Dupont, win) was iu the basement of a cotton mill
not far distant, did not think, Irom the light report,
that it was ueceseary to hurry to the yard to ascer
tain the damage, it any had been done. Two of
the men were blown into the Brandywine, one into
a tree, and the headless trunk of another was blown
to the opposite side of the creek. Os the others
nothing could be ascertained.
A strange feature in the explosion is that the
horse was not killed, although standing in proximity
to tlte press room when it went off. The cart to
which he was attached, and which was partly load
ed wilh powder dust, was thrown about in frag
ments. The horse was entirely stripped oi his
harness, his hair singed off, one eye put out and one
leg broken, and yet, after the smoke and dust clear
ea away, Le was found limping about the yard,
exhibiting all the signs cf pain.ul agony which he
suffered He was knocked oo the head and killed
to relieve him of Ms agonies. The names cf the
men killed were—Moran. Sweeney Sebar, Jacobs,
John Welsh, Michael O'Donnei and E. Dougherty.
The Coroner visited the scene of the explosion to
look after his interests, but could learn nothing, all
the witnesses having been killed.
Death of Bobert Stephenson, the Engi
neer. —The Ocean Queen brings intelligence of
the death of Sir Ronert Stephenson, the great
English engineer, in the sGth year of his age. He
oommenced life as an apprentice in a factory where
stearn engines were made, aud first attracted the
attention of the public in 1828, by inventing a io
comotive which consumed its own smoke, weighed
only six tens, end drew 20 tons at the rate of 10
miles an hour. F’or til’s work he received a prize
of $2,000. He then commenced building railroads,
and ail the piincipal lines in England, Belgium and
Norway, were constructed under his supervision.
The works to watch he owed his chief repu'ation
were the tubular bridges over the Conway and
the Menai at Britannia liock. Unlike most stu
dents, he was apprenticed to the engine-making
business after having gone successfully through the
classes at tie Edinburgh University.

the ground that he was not entitled to the double
allowance of 5 lbs., inasmuch as his dam had bred

no races are recognized in this country but those

I.:!t- n nil * titet-eMlng from Hi o n-tville, Tra
in.—Another Aftark Thuuleucit.
In Iho New Orleans Delta at Tuesday, 25:h ins!,
we find news from Brownsville, Texas, to tho L-i’ h
■net., brought by the steam , r Ariz ona from Braios
Santiago, embracing items of interest tint! Impor
tance.
The Hag of the loth int., gives the following ac
count of the state of things al Brownsville :
The s’ate of things here ie but little better than
w hen wa last wrote. The daily drill makes our
men more efficient and skilful, but the constant
watch wears out their energie*. Oortinasie in M la
in was, at large, and surrounded by his chief guard.
He yet has a camp well guarded and fortified, it is
said, on this side of the river, in the potrero, near j
his mother’s rancho, aid another at Ban Jose, a few
miles out. A letter written by Win. Neale, Eeq .to
his daughter hero, received yesterday, states that
Nicholas Charo, the butcher, n. wnot so favorably
known here, has been to Cortinas'a camp, and re
ports that he has three hundred and fifty moil under
his command, and that the Tatnpacuas Indices have
joined him.
We have littls frar of an attack in any open man
ner, or that, if made, it will be successful; but much
injury may be done by the secretly setting on fire
ol houses, or the robbery of them tn case our people
are drawn off from one part wholly to another. Be
sides, under feints of attack, assassinations might,
be made of solitary individuals who might not be in
the main body.
If Cortinas’ men were well hid away in the chap
paral, it would be difficult to tied them; but unless
the finding is altogether impracticable, we imagine
the bosl way to prevent attack is *o strike tbs first
blow. A few blows, well struck, would end tho
whole.
The Flag thus announces the departure of the
Mexican troops on the Bth inot.:
On Saturday last cur Mexican auxiliaries re
turned to their own shoro. Our citizen force as
sembled at an early hour, under the command of
Major Herd, and preceded by the band of theMsta
movoi National Guard, with the Committee of Safe
ty under their escort, marched through the various
streets and tueu into the garrison, where they met
and ssluted the auxiliary force aud conducted them
to the ferry Interesting sddresses were here de
livered by Coinmendaute Longoria on behalf of the
National Guard, aud replied to by Mayor Powers.
Amid mutual vives and huzzas, the two bodies
then took leave of one another, and the Mexican
troops repassed the river. Members of the Com
mittee ol Safety remained with the officers until the
crossing wes completed. The utmost good feeling
prevailed, and various impromptu sentiments were
given, that of Captain Cordova being peculiarly
pithy and good.
The Flag also has the following:
The two expresses sent, one on the ‘-tilth ult., and
one on Ihe sth instant, lo San Antonio, have return
ed. The last one brought the reply ot Gan. Twiggs
to the appeal of our Committee of Safety for aid,
which is cool enough. He does not eveu allude to
the request for the re occupying of Fort Brown, as
urged by them. It is a rstisiaction to know that
there is a power above him. On the other hand,
three hummed volunteers, under authorization from
the Governor, are reported by the last expressmeu
to have been on the point of starting out here when
he left Sau Antonio.
How long will tho United States leave its federal
boundary to be defended by Mexican troops, if at
all, and the single State of Texas to do the duty of
the Union in chastising and repressing the aggres
sions of the Indians and their robber allies ?
The Rangers are now looked for every Lour. In
the meantime, three well mounted ... and efficient
pieces of artillery are in our midst, vvilh a suffi
ciency of ammunition, ail under the direction of
Lieut. Laugd m, and we feel quite confident that
we wilt oe able to crush cut any attempt on us
from any quarter.
The Purser of the steamer Arizonia furnishes the
Delta with later new3 than that contained in the
Brownsville flag, as follows :
On tbe 18th iust, a pally of thirty men, headed
by Adolphe Glarecke (one of those proscribed by
Cortinas in bit manifesto,) and tbe Sheriff went out
from Brownsville, arid succeeded iu caplnrieg the
second iu command of the band He plead ’that,
he was foiced by Cortinas, but was one of the
sentinels oa the S!Bth ult. He claimed tube an
American citizen by right of residence on this
side since annexation, aud was told that he should
be tried hy American law, and being tried, wes
found guilty of murder from Deing among the lead
ere of the band, asd sentenced to be hung oil the
2 )th inst., but up to the|time of tbe Arizonia’s
leaving, on the same evening, the sentence had not
been carried into effect.
Cortinas, on hearing of his arrest, crossed the
river again from Mexico, and gavo notioe that if a
hair ot his follower’s head was touchod, and ho was
not allowed to go free, that ho would lay the city of
Brownsville in ashes, and had re assembled his men
to do so in case of his non-release. Every one in
Brownsville is in a panic, aud every one passing
through the streets at night is challenged. People
flee from the wooden houses at night, and take re
fuge (from the expected attack) in the brick houses
and stores.
The patrol consists of merchants and artisans,
who have to attend their business in the day, and
stand watch at night; and unless some protection
comes soon, tho city and ali the towns on the Rio
Grande will be abandoned.
A gentleman comes up on ths Arizonia en route
to Washington, to see if he can not obtain some
defense for the frontier.
On the UDper River things appear to be equally
bad. Mr. Neale (fathefi of the W. P. Neale killed)
ia surrounded at his ranoho by Indians and Mexi
cans, and other ranchos owned by Americans are
surrounded also, so that many who would come to
the relief of Brownsville can not do so, because
they have not force enough to cut their way through,
and would have to leave theirown places to pillage.
Three pieces of artillery have been taken up to
Brownsville from the Brazos, where some forty
pieces lay, having been brought down when Fort
Brown was dismantled, and are loaded with grape,
and command the weakest points of the city. Iu
fact, the whole Rio Grande is left open to the raids
of Indians and scoundrels of all kinds, who, when
they commit depredations on one side, Use to the
ether, and there being no exchange of prisoners, do
as they please. These roving bands claim tc be
American citizens, and the Mexicans, although
doing all they can to restrain their own people, do
not wish to umbroil themselves by arresting those
who claim to bo American citizens by naturaliza
tion, and it is well known that parties wisbiDg to go
up the river, go on the Mexican eide, being more
sure of life and property being preserved than on
this eide. T his is the general state of ass airs on the
Rio Grande.
The Great Eastern. —The New York Times of
W ednesday contains a Bpecial report of the trial
trip of the Great Eastern. The general conclusion
the writer seems to have attained is, that, white
the expectations of the public, unduly wrought up
by incompetent authorises, are disappointed, those
of the projectors are abundantly verified. Thus
while the vessel cannot be advantageougly employ
ed ior a mere trans-Atlantic service, it is perfectly
adapted to the long AuetraliaD voyage for which
it was designed It cannot attain a speed cf thirty
miles aH hour, but it can accomplish a rate of fit
teen miles. It cannot make a trip from Liverpool
to New York in five days; but it can accomplish
it in ten. It does not wholly obviate the discom
forts of a sea-voyage; it does not go through the
waves instead ot over them ; but it does pitch and
roll so slightly as to cause little serious distress to
the passeDger. Other points of interest are de
veloped by the trial The security of the vessel is
imperfect -, the bulkheads are neither fire-tight, nor
water-tight; important valves are not as they
should bo, autoinatio-, the apparatus for superheat
ing steam seems only to be available at the cost of
grave peril.
The machinery is very far from having tint com
pleteness and that proportion people have been led
to anticipate. The boilers are inadequate to furnish
the power required by the engines. There is a
want ot harmony in the working of the screw and
side-wheel engines; and the donkey engines are
by no means as serviceable as certain American in
ventions of tlie same kind. The machinery for
raising and handling the anchors is likewise of in
different value. On the other hand the vessel is
under perfect control of the helm, with no greater
amount of force than is required by a first-rate
frigate. ‘llie consumption of coalis moderate; aud
the engines work with none of the Btiffuess of new
machinery. The opinion formed by the writer
is thus, upon the whole, not unfavorable to its
claims. Indeed, be does not hesitate to pionounce
it “a success.”
We learn from the same source that the Ameri
can trip af the Great Eastern is not be deferred
until Spring. The Directors have determined to
dispatch her on, or very shortly after, Nov. 1.
Ho! for the West —During last week several
families passed through this place on their way to a
more congenial clime. Some are for North Ala
bama and for Tennessee, Ac.
Others are still selling out, preparatory to a move
to the West. Homes, around which the earliest as
sociations and holiest aflections of their children
have clustered, are to become dreams of the past.
Why cannot North Carolina give her childreu
a -ch inducements as will enable them to stay iu
her borders 7 They all prefer her laws and govern
inent, and as far as the western portion is concerned,
would rather live in sight of these grand old moun
tains. But then, if they stay, they will always be
behind other people—will never know any thing.
The West is not so inviting, as some suppose.
We have been told that thoee who moved there
two years ago, are now shaking to death with the
chills and fever. A gentleman passed through this
place a few days ago, on bis way from Miseouri to
Haywood county, perfectly satisfied with his expo
riencein the West.
Doubtless there are good lands and some healthy
localities. But W 8 fear tnese combined exeeJen
cies are beyond the reach of emigrants. Better stay
stay at home.—Franklin iN. C ) Observer.
Save your Manure —lt rouses our agricultural
indignation to see a farmer throwing away all the
manure about his lot and stable. For throwing it
out in a heap, for the sun, air and rain to ruin, is
truly w astlng it.
We propose a plain for taking care of it, which
if faithfully followed, will enhance the farm ofevery
farmer in the country.
Build a good shed, plank up the ends and sides
some four or five feet. Then dig out the dirt with
in the enclosure some three feet or more, taking
off the sides and ends, so as to make it slope in
wardly from ail sides, looking, when completed,
like the half of a large hogshead brried. Now in
this large hole, under this shed aid within these
planked up sides, throw the manure from your
hogpen, the’ wet etraw and leaves from the iot, the
refuse ashes from the tey gum, the sweepings of
your yard, Ac., Ac. On this, as conveniences and
opportunity will permit, pour all your strong soap
suds, which will a’d fermentation, and our word for
it, you will have a manure heap woi,h its weight in
guano or anything else, as a fertilizer. Try it.
[Franklin (N. (J.) Observer.
At Boyd’s Grove. Bureau Cos., 111., last week, a
man engaged in boring for water, struck a snring
seventy-seven feet below the surface which com
menced fiowing very rapidly, accompanied with a
very large discharge of gas, which when ignited
with a candle, blazed to the height of fifteen feet
above the ground. Portions of the out-houses and
of the piazza of the adjacent building had to be re
moved to preserve them from destruction, so greai
was the power of the flame wnen disturbed by the
wind. The well was again filled with earth, but
the Uamea are described as breaking through the
loose soil like fleshes of gunpowder, running along
the ground. Snob occurrences were formerly quite
frequent in the vicinity of the Muskingum River
ana other portions of Ohio, bnt have never before
been observed in this portion of Illinois.
A False Wife Shot in a Theatre.—A short
time since the performance at the theatre at Cron
etradt, liussia, was interrupted, and the audience
thrown into considerable agitation, by the report of
a tire-ami and the piercing shriek prooeeding from
a closed box on the second tier. Cries were raised
by a number of persons, aDd the female portion of
the audience prepared to fly. It was soon ascer
tained that a gentleman of fortune had discovered
his wife in tue box of a Count , and bad dis
charged a pistol at hßr, inflicting a severe wound.
The husband was ariested and taken off to prison!
The medical men entertain hopes that the wound
of the tady will not prove fatal
The Anoora Goat —The Angora Goat is being
extensive > acclimated in Franco. The fleece sets
at from #2 to $2.50, and the wool, or rather hair,
makes excellent velvet, uniting the iustre of silk to
the firmness of wool velvet A few of these beuli
ful animals were imported into South Carolina iu
1840. They have increased to upwards of 50 of the
pure breeds, besides many half-breeds.
II rom the Atlanta American, Tuesday V. M.
The Fulr.
\ cater day, and several days preceding, were is
j pleasant u*d balmy mi heart c’uila de.-ire. It the e
was anything dieagrevtible, U ww that the w;i>*.tb**r
was too warm. The tky was Hear, hardly h cloud
to be .seen, and the sun shone with nuoDMcured ravs
unobstructed power. The arrival* at.:ho Mote's
are said io surpass that of any other previous* year
so early iu iho vrefk, and aheady we hear of their
being considerably crowded. N<>twi:h?tandiug th’n t
our Hotel aeoonmciaOons are unsurpassed in extent
or arrangement in the Stale.
The arrivals ot all kinds of stock, ate also very
largH. A 1 kinds ut horses anu all kinds of cattle,
sheep, swine and every variety of animal for tho
’ use and sustenance of man were on the ground, aud
I the ample supply of Stalls, &.<., were nearly u
p oon ia the afternoon ou yesterday. The Ladies’
Department and that of Art, was also well stocked,
and many waiting at the gates to make their entries.
The arrivals every vvny exceed any former occasion,
and the prospect is that the Fair will indeed prove
the best exhibition ever bau, and the most mime
rouaiy attended. Ali parties seem to be elated, aud
we hope there will be no cause for disappointment.
Within twenty-tour hours very eousiuerabe ad
ditions have been made to every department, and
irany of them are much fuller than last, year In
the department of Art there ia less on exhibition, bht
the deficiency is more than made up in excellence.
There aro many superb specimens, unequalled at
any former Fair. Time and space will not allow us
to particularize.
In the Agricultural department the show is far
from being what wo should like to ace, but still ia
better than it was last } ear. There are tine spe
cimens of Yam and Sweet Potatoes and Jioets. On
a table we aw a very largo pumpkin, weighing 102
pounds; wo were looking at the monster in wonder,
when a gentleman standing near remarked that ii,
was much smaller than a couple he had exhibited
at a Fair in his State, which ho sai l weighed -156
pounds. We asked hitn whore he resided,
and ho replied California. He exhibi f ed a
l>eet which weighed 103 pounds. Just think of a
pumpkin weighing 20U pounds, and a lleet of the
size of that! There are several barrels of Syrup
from the Chinese Sugar Cane, a bale of line Timo
thy Hay, grown on upland near Atlanta, by Mr. J.
11. Dennis, and r. bale of Crab Grass Hay.
From Ivy -Mills, near Roswell, we notice some
splendid Cassimere made from Cass County Meri
no, also some excellent samples of Flannel, and
Kerseys and Liuseys. Whoever examines these
goods can no longer doubt the capabil ty of Geor
gia to raise every thing needful to manufacture
whatever may be needed for clothing. From
Troup Factory we saw some goods labelltd “South
ern Rights Towels “
The Fair.
The concourse of people on the grouuds yester
day exceeded that present onjhe corresponding day
of the Fair ‘cat year. The gates were thronged
nearly uli day, as were also the walks. A continual
stream ot people w a parsing in and out of the
main buildings a l day, aud at times the latter Wrro
ho crowded that it was next to impossible to make
any head* ay. Still we could not speak so positive
ly about, the greater numbers, merely irom the
xibove circumstances, for it was, accord.ug to cur
recoiled ion, much the same way lasi year. Wo
speak as positively aa wo do because the receipts
up r.o last night arc wilh,n one hundred dollars of
the amount received last year during the entire
week. The receipts to (lay aud to-morrow will
place them srveral hundred dollars ahead.
The exhibition of tine and blooded Btoek this year
is very much superior srd larger than last year
Ihe oontest is very spirited in the department ot
olooded stock, there qeing quite a number There
is au unusually large number of enfiies of Morgan
horses, many of them splendid specimen.*. Among
tm-w, there ia a black stallion, seven years mj

larger exhibit of this favorite breed of horses ai d
we are glad to notice lhat the efforts of the Execu

miums and larger in amount would nrobably briuir
a still largor number. We observe that Coweta
county is particularly well represented in this class
ot stock. Os blooded siook, there is also a fine dis
play. Our old trieud James Millicsn E--,, 0 f
Jackson county, is ou the ground, as usual with a
number. We noticed a very pretty, and ’ remar
kably well grown t wo year old filly, of a deep black

Os Cattle there is a large number, embracing
Dirhams, Devons Brahims, An. A magnificent
Brahim bull is exhibited by Mr. Peters who has
Bpootmens of other pure breeds on the ground as
well as gradee—one half Devon and Brahim Tnere

of winter leading, and are a practical demonstration
ot Mr. Howard s theory in reference to making worn

while improving the one preserving the other. We
invite special attention to the animals exhibited by
Mr. Howard. The euricßity in (his department,
however, is a monster bull, exhibited by Mr W C

There is a fair collection of .Swine, the most noted
being the black Eieex of Mr. Peters, and some

the collection is fair io extent, it in smaller than that
of last year.
Rev. G. W. Howard exhibits several pens of

Americans in Japan.—A letter from an Ameri
can, published in the New York Express, dated Na
gasaki, July, 1859, says;
“ There ljas been such a rush of traders to Japan,
that almost everything that can be bought bas been
carried off Nearly a hundred ships lias already
been to Nagasaki. There were twenty-five in
port when we arrived, including the war steam
ers. Such an influx of trade as this upoD a people
entirely unused aud unprepared for it, has of course
cleaned them out and carried prices up very rapid
iy. The Japanese are a very -interesting people,
and have more life, vivacity and expression about
them than the Chinese. The people are very in
quisitive, aud ask all manner of questions In the
shops they always want to know whether we are
Americans, English, Russians or Dutch. They ex
amine very carefully every ai tide of clothing, and
say ; Eproku’ (good) when they find anything which
particularly pleased their fancy. As you walk the
streets you are saluted on every side by the chil
dren with ‘Ohio’ (how are you) and ‘Boton Kaaie,’
(give me a ballon ) They have a great passion for
brass buttons, and the naval officers have almost
stripped their Coats In making presents. If I had
only known it before I would tiave brought a few
gro3S from Shanghai, lt would have made me the
moHt popular man in Nagasaki. I have cut, off all
that could be spared, but my supply is exbaus'ed,
and I have nothing left to answer the demand of
Boton Kasie.’ ”
A Chapter on Furs —As the season for the
wealing of furs is approaching, the following will
be found of interest :
Furs are the skins of diffant animals, covered, for
the most part, with thick, fine bair, the inter side
being converted, by peculiar process, into a sort of
leather; aud previously to their undergoing this
process, furs are denominated peltry. Beaver tur,
from it* extensive use in the hat manufacture, is a
very important article, aid found principally iu
this country; it is gradually becoming scarcer and
dearer, being cow obtainable in considerable quan
tities only from the most northerly and inaccessible
regions The tur of the middle aged or young
animal, called cub beaver, is most esteemed , it. te
the finest, most glosßy, and takes the best dye
Fitcb, or the fur of the fitchetor polecat, is scf ard
warm, but the unpleasant smell which adhere* to it
depresses its value Morten and mink, a diminu
tive species of otter, are found in large quantities
In Canada and thi* country, as is also the fui of
the muequiah or muskrat, a diminutive species of
beaver. Nutraskins are very abundant in Buenos
Ayres. The meet valuable furs, as ermine, sable,
Ac , come principally from Russia.
A Good Democrat Now.—Col. John C. Fre
mont, the Black Republican candidate for the Pre
sidency in 185 ti, has reu mneed Black Republican
'slll, aud declares that he wi,l not again be the
candidate of that party—Dial he did not fully agree
with them in 135(1, and only ran thou as I heir can
didate became he had assurances that they could
elect kim to tlie Presidency ! Os course he goee
back, again to the National Democracy, anti, like
Martin Van Jiuren, will hereafter he found an
accepted leader of that party, notwithstanding he
and Van headed the most formidable abolition
movements ever made against the rights ot the
“path ‘ Thus it is that National Democracy fur
nishes all the materials of sectional agitation and all
the Presidential nominees of organized Black Re
pubiicanism. Douglas is now the “rising Htar,” but
his strength with the Democratic masses is so great
that i.e seek* to reach the Presidency by abolitioniz
ing the party, not by opposing it. We have nnw
a hope that Fremoat can beat him iu the Charles
ton Convention. —Columbus Enquirer.
Source of the Nile Discovered.—The great
problem of the source of the Nile, which has occu
pied the attention of the world during so many
ages, may now be considered as definitely solved
Capt. Speke, who has just returned to England
from an extended tour in Central Africa, in cornua
ny with Capt. Burton, discovered a lake, calted
by the native* Nyunza, but by the Arabs Ukerewe
which appears to be the great reservoir of the
Nile. It extends irom from 2 deg. 3(1 south, to 3
deg. Jd north latitude, lying aoroea the equator in
east longitude 33 deg. It* waters are the urainege
of numerous Mbs which surround it on almost every
ihe “ eIT lske Wtt *hts opt the Mountains of
the Moon as at present existing in our atlases. An
expeuttion has been formed in Bombay ter the nur
poee,of continuing aud completing the discoveries
of Captains Lurton and Speke. Mr J Kenellv
Secretary to the Bombay Geographical Soeffity and
Dr. by Ives, er are at the head of it. They are lo
Bet out m November, and will attempt a thorough
exploration of the great lake region! which is now
known to contain theeource of the Nile.
Let the South Re member.— That the recent
elections in \ermont aDd Maine, says the New
Hampshire Standard, were fought on tlie Douglas
platform of Squatterßovereignty. The Democratic
conventions of each State passed resolutions in favor
of Douglas’s Squatter Sovereignty doctrines, and
declined to endorse fully and cordially the A((piinis
tration of Mr. Buchanan. Yet, the Democratic
party has been defeated in both States, by majorities
larger than ever. This fact shows, that neither
Douglas, nor his doctrines, add any strength to the
Democratic party in the North. He woula be the
weakest man in the North who could be nominated
at Charleston.— Mont. Adv, (Dem )
There is a lessen in the above which the South may
learn to her advantage It is simply this, and we
ebai! not encumber it with remark: that “he must
look to wise other source for friendship and ralety
than the National Democratic Party. It shorn of
its strength and its day hs* passed. Let her cast
about for some new organization, freeh from the
hearts of the people, and unoorrupted by time upon
which her good men of all parries may unite in a
summon cause for the Conetitutkin and the Union
