Departure of the Japanese Embaety—Arrival
of the Great Eatlern—Expeeted arriral of
John C. Vet nan.
New Youk, July 2, I860.
Dear Sir :—Sensation No. 1 has departed,
the Japanese Embassy having left our shores
on Saturday last for Jeddo direct Many of
them no doubt being tired of us, and manv of
our people tired of seeing them made thc
means of gratifying the sordid vanity of city
officials, and affording them an opportunity of
fleecing tho public. But a short time previous
to the departure of (he Japanese, sensation No.
- was announced, the Great Eastern having
been telegraphed from Sandy nook on Thurs
day morning last, as being near the Light Ship
waiting for the tide to enable her to come over
the bar at 3 o’clock P. M., when she would
como up to the city, and proceed immediately
to her berth at the foot of Hammond Street.—
The report at first was hardly credited, as ma
ny of our good people had began to doubt the
existence of such an aquatic monster, and it
was not until she was bulletined, and cried by-
the news hoys for an hour or so that this sen.
Ration was duly accepted and treated as such.
At about S o’clock the tide in our streets arose
—as well as at thc Hook—and set towards thc
North River; thc moment the steamer made
her appearance, as if by- magic, tlie waters of
thc Bay.were swanning with vessels of every
description, and the piers, tops of buildings,
and all places where a view of thc Bay could
bo obtained, appeared to bo covered with peo
ple. As she steamed up the North River sur
rounded by large class steamers, steam tugs,
and almost all kinds of sail vessels, all of which
looked like Lilliputians in contrast with her
huge proportion; those who doubted her being
anything more than a myth, probably Iiad
their doubts dispelled, not only-, but now admit
that although Noah’s Ark was a “ pretty con
siderable of a craft’’ she would hardly’ receive
an “honorable mention” as to size, when com
pared with this mammoth. Notwithstanding
y-our readers may have heretofore seen descrip
tions of the Great Eastern, she being very gen
erally tlie subject of conversation, a brief ac-
count of her at the present time may lie ac
ceptable.

marks the American character. Ilis whole
speech was eloquent, well conceived and well
delivered, and commanded marked attention.
And thus ended the addresses—all wero
pleased and gratified—and the 500 persons who
liad assembled dispersed. At night there was
a grand display of fire works and the ascension
of a balloon, about 12 feet long and 0 in diam-
ter; the huge balloon rose slowly in the airand
sailed majestically away, the center of a thou
sand gazing eyes. It fell about five miles off,
so frightening one woman that as was said,
“ she ran plumb a mile.” Two other ascen
sions were attempted, but each time tho bal
loon caught fire, and at one of. tho times, as
the blazing monster rose just above the McIn
tosh House, a general cry of horror took place

Rosy fingered Aurora opened the gates of thc

rivi-d.
As tho minutes and the hours passed, vehicle
afterveliiclc, with people from a distance, pour
ed into thc village, and soon every vacant part
of the .shady grove around thc Spring, except
that appropriated to the exercises, was occupied
by carriages and buggies, and every limb or
tree had one or two horses beneath, patiently
waiting. All was bustle.
Tho ruddy rustic maid, escorted by her cour
teous gallant, repaired to the health-dealing
fount; invalids sat here and there; the well and.
hearty, with merry laugh and jocose remark,
manifested their buoyant feelings. Benches
and chairs had been placed beneath thc umbra
geous covering of the many trees upon “tho I&
land”—a "stand” had been prepared—and hy
ten o’clock each seat was occupied, and the Ora
tor and Reader and Chaplain of the day, had
taken their places. Eagerness was upon'every
countenance. At half jiast ten the master of
ceremonies waved his'hand, and the hand struck
up a patriotic strain, and at its conclasion, the
Kcv. Mr. Mallory offered a fervent prayer to the
throne of grace. “ Home, sweet, sweet home,”
followed, and the Hon. B. H. Hill gracefully
commenced the exercises by an eloquent ten
minutes speech, iu which, among other things,
he paid a handsome compliment to woman—she
it was who aided so much in the discovery of
the new world—she it was who shielded thc
brave settler from the executioner’s blow, and
she it was who, amid the snows and privations
of White Plains, animated the drooping spirits
of her country's defenders. How appropriate
then for her to join in such celebrations! He

The Douglas Demonstration in New York.
The Tribune speaks very disparaging of the
New York Douglas Demonstration, and says:
“Tho Douglas men, who had a large aijd Im
posing rally at Philadelphia last Saturday night,
made a terrible failure in this city last evening.
None who did not sec it cau realize tho totality
of this eclipse in all its gigantic proportion*.
To compare it with the poorest of our Lincoln
meetings would he preposterous—it was like a
row-boat to the Great Eastern. The processions,
the attendance around thc stands, tlie shouts,
thc speeches, were- all so far below zero that it
would be cruel to dwell on them.
“Tho long list of officers paraded highiens the
funeral aspect of this forlorn afCxir. Not ope-
fourth of the strong, influential men of the par
ty arc borne on this list, which reads like ft

of the eight or ten score carry any political
weight. Any well informed citizen who looks
over the list will see tliat Mr. Douglas is no
where in this Emporium.”
PENNSYLVANIA. •
Thc Democratic State Executive Committed
of Pennsylvania, met on the second instant and
resolved to consolidate thc party on thc follow
ing basis:—
First, Calling on the Democracy to unite in
support of General Foster for Governor, to bury
all differences on the Presidential question in
the local elections.
Second, Recommending thc democratic party
of tlie State to unite on tho electoral ticket form
ed at Reading on tho following basis:—If :t
should appear, on ascertaining tlie result in
other States of thc Union, that by casting the
entire vote of Pennsylvania for Douglas it would
elect him, said electors shall be under obliga
tions to cast said vote in that way; if the said
vote would not elect Douglas, but elect Breck
inridge, then shall it be cast for Breckinridge.
If the said vote will elect neither Douglas or
Breckinridge, then tho electors may divide ac
cording to their own judgment—the bos* of
this united action being that it is thc first and
highest duty of all good Democrats, however
differing about men and minor points of princi
ples, to unite firmly against tho common enemy.
ANOTHER BANK AGENCY.
Tn consummation of a long-contemplated pur
pose, Air. Cuylcr, tho distinguished President
of the Central Railroad and Banking Company,
has, we are authoritivcly informed, decided to
establish an Agency of tliat Company in At
lanta. For this purpose, the building owned by
Mr. Jas. Clark, adjoining the Bank of Fulton,
has been leased for four years—the Company
having the right to purchase within a givcii
time at a stipulated price. The building will
undergo immediate thorough repair, and the
Agency will commence operation °n the first
of October next
Mr. Samuel T. Beecher, the Agent, is a large
stockholder in tho Central Railroad, and is, wc

ajr. r He ha- bM At many years a citizen of
Millcdgevillc, but will remove to Atlanta, and

AUGUSTA AND MACON RAIL ROAD.
The following is thc resolution offered by
Mr. Gibson at the last meeting of the City
Council, as amended and passed:
Whereas, in the opinion of this Council it
was the intention of tho citizens of Augusta in
authorizing the subscription of five hundred
thousand dollars to thc stock of a rail road to
Macoa that said road should begin in the City
of Augusta, or terminate in said City, and be
an independent road and route: and whereas
it is now apparent that strong efforts are being
made to connect thc same with Georgia Rail
road, at some point forty or fifty miles above
the Cityfof Augusta,
Be it therefore Resolved, That the Rail Road
Committee and Directors, elected to represent
the interest of the City of Augusta in said Road,
be and they are hereby requested to insist upon
an independent route for said Road beginning
or terminating in the City of Augusta.

The New York Evening Post, alter comparing
the present position of Mr. Douglas with that
of Mr. Van Buren in 1848, says:
“ The slavery question is one that cannot be
shirked; no shallow pretext of non-interven
tion can hide its national aspects; either the
civilization of the North or tho civilization of
the South must give tone to our societies; and
the energies of the general government must be
directed to tho perpetuation of the one or the
other.”
Here it te, says tho Boston Post, flat footed.
The National Government MUST decido tbe
question! The sovereignty of the State3 “must”
be trampled upon, and the central power of tlie
country “must” determine thc character of the
domestic institutions of the States! This i*
bold Revolution—a clear abrogation of the Na
tional Constitution—inevitable destruction of
the Union!! And all this sacrifice—tho sacri
fice of the peace, safety, power, prosperity of
twenty-five millions of white people—demand
ed to gratify the fanaticism of tho Black Re
publican party! If such avowals do not awak
en the people to a sense of the impending dan
ger, we know not what wilL There is no
equivocation in such language—it puts the
question plainly—“Shall thc countrymen dure or
not?” The answer must be given in Novem
