Important Surveying Expedition to the
Japanese Seas.
Among the passengers who sailed by the Star
of the West for California yesterday was a party,
consisting of Lieutenant Commanding John M.
Brookes U. S. N., the inventor of the deep-sea
sounding lead, (to which the Atlantic telegraph
projectors owe so much ; Lieutenant Thorburn, U.
3. N.; E. M. Kern, the artist who accompanied the
exploring expedition under Commander Rogers to
the North Pacific, and several others. We learn
that the party will proceed to San Francisco, and
thence, in the Fennimore Cooper—a pilot boat of
about one hundred tons, formerly of this city—to
China and Japan, principally to explore and sur
vey the route between those countries and San
Francisco. It is said there are than four hundred
and fifty dangers—such as small islands, reefs and
shoals—on that route, which are not located on
any chart yet compiled; and in view of the ra
pidly increasing commerce between our ports on
the Pacific and China and Japan, our practical
Secretary of the Navy has determined to do wbat
lies in his power to dissipate an ignorance which
has already proved fatal to many a gallant ship.
■ Lieut. Brooke,carries out a large number of his
* ingenious leads, and we may expect when he re
turns to have as complete a chart of the bottom of
-• that part of the Pacific over which he will pass as
that which his lead has already given us of the
telegraphic plateau in the Atlantic. Joseph Hecco,
a Japanese, who was wrecked some years since
and brought to this country in an American ship,
returns to Japan in the schooner as clerk to Capt.
Brooke. Hecco had applied himself dilligently
since his arrival in this country to acquiring a
knowledge of our language, customs, and institu
tions, ana is said to write the language very well.
He may be the means of dissipating a great deal
of the prejuice which has so long proved a bar to
any intercourse with his countrymen, but which
now seems to be giving away.

Thackeray on American Morals.
The Petersburg Express quotes the following
redeeming passage from Thackeray’s last work :
' 44 There lived, during the last century, a certain
‘ French duke and marquis, who distinguished bim
. self m Europe, and America likewise, and has
obliged posterity by leaving behind him a choice
volume of memoir, which the gentle reader is
specially warned not to consult. Raving perform
-1 ed the part of Don Juan in his own country, in
5 ours, and in other parts of Europe, he has kindly
f noted down the names of many court beauties who
) fell victims to his powers of fascinatiou; and very
> pleasant reading, no doubt, it must be for the
grandsons and descendants of the fashionable per
• sons among whom our brilliant nobleman moved,
- to find the names of their ancestresses adorning M.
I le Due’s sprightly pages, and their frailties record
ed by the candid writer who caused them.
“ In the course of the peregrinations of this no
r bleman, he visited North America, where, accord
ing to his custom in Europe, he proceeded straight
l way to fall in love. And curious it is to contrast
, the elegant refinements of European society, where,
according to Monsiegneur, he had but to lay siege
* to a woman in order to vanquish her, with the
1 simple lives and habits of the colonial folks,
among whom this European enslaver of hearts did
not, it appears, make a single conquest. Had he
done so, he would as certainly have narrated his
* victories in Pennsylvania and New England, as be
described his successes in this and his own conn
try. Travellers in America have cried out quite
loudly enough against the rudeness and barbarism
of trans-Atlantic manners; let the present writer
give the humble testimony of his experience that
1 the conversation of American gentlemen is gener
ally modest, and to the best oi bis belief, the lives
of the women pure.”
From the Charleston Mercury.
First Blood Shed for Liberty in the
Revolution.
The first blood shed io defense of liberty and in
opposing English oppressions was in the South.
The State of North Carolina—the “old North State, ”
and twin sister of South Carolina —is entitled to
the honor. It was during the gubernatorial ad
ministration of the notorious Governor Tryon, the i
English Governor at the time, who built one of 1
the most splendid palaces in either North or South 1
America, at Newbern, N. C., with the proceeds of 1
taxes imposed upon the people for the purpose, and 1
to resist which taxation a portion of them rebelled, *
just as did the men of Massachusetts afterwards. *
It took place in the year 1771, and is narrated by J
Mr. Wheeler in his history of North Carolina. On J
the 16th of May, in that year, a battle was fought *
between the American and British forces, on the £
banks of the Alamance river, in what is known l _
now as the county of that name, called the Battle *
of Alamance. The American forces were called e
the “ regulators,” from their efforts in endeavoring Y
to bring about an equitable regulation of taxesana
other oppressive matters. The American }
amount ea to two thousand, and were headed by
three men named Husbands, Hunter and ,
whil« the Drillsn lorces, including militia called -
out by Tryon, amounted to upwards of eleven hun- 1
dred, but had the advantage greatly in arms and J
discipline. As might have been expected, the J
Americans were defeated, after an action of two 1
hours, with a loss of twenty dead and several 1
wounded, while that of the royal forces, wounded, 4
and missing, was sixty-one. Mr. Wheeler says: 4
“ Thus ended the battle of Alamance. Thusand l
here was the first blood spilled in these United 4
States, in resistance to exactions of English rulers J
and oppressions by the English goveWment. ‘The 4
great Wolf of South Carolina’ showed his blood- r
thirsty temper by acts of revenge, cruelty, and
barbarity. He hung Captain Tew the next day, 1
without trial, on a tree.”
It was in this case, as Byron truly says in one of J
his poems—
“ For Freedom’* battle once begun.
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son.
Though sometimes lost, is ever won.'’ j
Thus we see that it was at the battle of Alamance,
and not at Bunker Hill, that the first American
blood was shed in the cause of liberty. “Honor
to whom honor is due.” ;
The Old Hall of Representatives.— With the
numerous changes that are taking place every day, 1
in this changing world, tne transformation of the
old hall of Representativas, around which so
many sacred memories cluster, deserves more than
a passing notice. It was here that the conserva
tors of the Republic were wont to legislate for a
great and growing people ; it was in this dear old
forum that the eloquence of the great and loved of
the nation first touched the hearts of the people,
and it was here those measures which have con
tributed to the honor and prosperity of
the Union received the sanction of the immediate
representatives of the people. Whether or not
the removal from the old to the new hall will en
hance the importance of the popular branch of
Congress, it is quite certain the old members love
the old hall the best for the crowd of pleasant
memories associated with it. It was a grand and
imposing place, fit for the noble actions performed
within its walls. Even the old desks and
chairs have something connected with them, real
or imaginary, that calls forth the veneration of
the visitor. * But, however, much to be regret
ted, the chairs and desks are without occupants,
and the old hall is quite deserted. Could this old
furniture speak, what eloquent reproaches would
burst upon the authors of this cruel desertion, and
what bitter remonstrance and rebellr n would rise
up at public sale to the highest bidder! Just
think of it! The chair upon which rested a gifted
son of liberty—a statesman who moulded the des
tinies of the Union—displayed to the eyes of the
eager, gaping crowd, with the ominous cry of the
auctioneer, “one,” “two,” “three;” “going,”
“going,” 41 gone.” “Mr. John Jones.” And then
to be forever consigned to the tender mercies of
Mr. Jones, who wifi never miss an opportunity of
bringing it out for the inspection of company, and
who wiU never tire in tne relation of its past
greatness.
? Such is to be the fate of this old furniture, and
we anticipate a large gathering on Monday next at
the old Hall to witness the accomplishment of the
1 fell purpose by Mr. McGuire.

1 A Picture to be 6eex to be Appreciated.—
’ Holding office in Utah is no joke, and not very
| dignified, if this passage from the correspondence
• of the Tribune is as true as it is graphic:
1 “I have seen the Governor of the Territory
walking gravely up the road towards his tents,
i carrying a piece of stove funnel under each arm ;
I have seen the Chief Justice cutting the turf for
a chimney, and punching the oxen which were
drawing logs to build his cabin ; the Secretary of
State splitting wood, and the United States At
torney and Marshal plastering the walls of their
hut with mud. Yesterday I saw one of the Uni
ted States Commissioners’ stripped to the buff and
riding on horseback, piloting a wagon through a
ford across the South Platte, which he had dis
covered by wading, while the other Commission
er, having accomplished the passage, sat upon a
corn sack on the opposite bank, mending a rent
in his pantaloons. These pictures may convince
you that the civil officers, at least, in connection
with the Utah expedition, are not sinecures.”

Jail and Prisoner Burnt.
Mr. Editor: On Wednesday night, 23d inst,,
oar jail, and a runaway confined in it, were en
tirely consumed. The citizens were alarmed by
the negroe’s cries, which were made about half
past eleven o’clock at night. lie had been taken
up and imprisoned only the day before. Thejailor,
with ail haste that he could possibly make, ran
to the jail, which now appeared to be fired on the
inside, and threw open the doors, when the flames,
"which had now completely enveloped the inside
of the building, burst out in a large volume, en
tirely filling the entrance. The boy had ceased to
make any cry or noise before the doors were open
ed, and probably bad been suffocated by the
smoke and flames before attention was attracted
to the jail. It is certain that the jail was fired
from the inside by the prisoner, and that the fire
had made considerable progress before be gave
the alarm. He procured matches from the out
side or concealed them about his person. He
doubtless tired the building with the view of
escaping in the noise and confusion of the burn
ing. He had, when arrested, several passes, one
of them directed to the Conductor of the Central
railroad, authorising him to pass him to Savannah.
The negro is named in the pass Jones—and one
of them is dated June 22, 1858, and sigued “ J. C.
Willbum.”
The unfortunate creature has certainly been
tampered with by some woite man—perhaps the
victim of some negro philanthropist!
The negro said his name was Burrel, was a
bright mulatto, said that he belonged to Col. John
Darden, who lives m the neighborhood of Colum
bus, Ga. He was about five feet seven or eight
inches high, and weighed one hundred and sixty
or one hundred and seventy pounds, and was very
likely, and bore unmistakable evidence of kind
? treatment by bis overseer. His body, with the
: exception of the bones, was entirely consumed.

N. Y. Journal of Commerce t June 25.
From Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
‘Washington, June 24.
The Administration, now that Congress has ad
journed, has leisure to direct its attention to the
foreign affairs of the country. Congress gave lit
tle facility to the proper operations of the Execu
tive in this respect, but in more than one instance
acted, or proposed to act, with undue impetuosity,
and without consulting the state of the question or
the views ot the President. In matters which
really required legislative action in aid of the ac
tion of the Executive, Congress could not be moved.
Os this class of measures was the proposition to
?ive the President means to prevent or redress
njuries of American citizens by Nicaragua, Costa ’
Rica, New Grenada, Ac. The Executive has, how
ever, certain limited powers over this subject, and
will proceed at once to exert them.
With Nicaragua no terms can be made, and fur
ther attemDts tn —'***• her would be \r**-
less. There is enough of reality in M. Belly’s
scheme to show that the so-called governments of
N icaragua and Costa Rica are inimical to us, and
will exclude us from the use of the transit. Belly’s
scheme, though impracticable and absurd, has
been adopted by Nicaragua, and may be main
tained by the French government. However that
may be, the President will take proper and most t
efficient steps at once to secure to our citizens the
enjoyment of that communication. He can inter- *
pose, as the last administration ought to have
done, for the promotion of whatever rights our ci
tizens had in that transit. That this is about to
be done, without regard to M. Belly’s plan, or the
hostility of Martinez, there is no reason to doubt.
In regard to the happy adjustment of the Brit
ish difficulties, I might have stated in my letter
yesterday that the principle upon which the Uni
ted States stand in regard to the question of marti
time visit or search, and which is so ably set forth
by General Cass in his elaborate letter of the 10th
of April, has been fully repognized by the British
government. So that matter is eventually settled.

Pruning Fruit, Shade and Forest Tkees.—
June and July are good months for removing
large limbs from fruit and shade trees. The sap
is now in a right condition to form new wood,
and the healing process commences at once.. The
foliage also serves as a shade to prevent sun
checks in the wounded parts, although where
large branches are taken from fruit trees, it is
better to coat the exposed portions with the solu
tion mentioned below.
The tools for pruning are: First, a sharp, finely
set saw, nearly pointed at the end, that it may en
ter between closely growing limbs. Neither
should be it be a “backed” saw, but like the com
mon board saw used by the joineis. iSecond, a
hand-hatcheet, like a small axe, easily used by one
band. Third, a stout pruning knife: and each of
them sharp. Then a step-ladder, easily carried in
the band or on the shoulder, we give
no directions as to what particZS*!k,branches are
to be cut off, as the tree orishrub is not before us,
E resuming also that the pruner understands his
usiness.
As to the mode or manner-of doing the work,
let every branch be cut close to the body of the
tree, or main branch from which it is taken, and
the .bark pared close and smooth, for the wound
rapidly to heal over. If a choice tree, absolution
of gum shellac, dissolved in pure alcohol to the
consistency of cream, should be laid upon it with
a paint brush, to exclude the air and prevent the
exposed wood from sun-cracking.
Pruning, in general, is not half enough regard
ed by tree and shrub growers. A shade tree de
velops half its beauty and growth by -good prun
ing. Forest trees, where it is an object to do so,
are all the better for it; and every fruit grower
knows, or ought to know, that he can get no per
fect nor full crops, without special attention to its
practice ; while every florist will tell you that to
obtain the finest flowers, and the highest perfec
tion of bloom, the nicest attention should be given
to pruning out and properly adjusting the spray
of the plant.— American Agriculturist, June.
Turpentine and Plaster for Bugs. —Among
the many “ infallible” remedies to prevent bugs
from destroying vines I have noticed the fol
lowing :• With one quart of common piaster put a
tablespoonful of spirits of turpentine. Mix it tho
roughly, and sprinkle it on your plants. Tne bugs
will show strong mamlc.-tations of their displea
sure by sundry summersets and convulsions, and
leave immediately “on suspicion.” Last season
being an unusual “ buggy” one, I tried everything
I could hear or read of, but of no avail, until 1 ap
plied the turpentine and plaster, which was effec
tual. The raw turpentine would probably be as
effectual in the destruction of the plants as the
bugs, hence we mix it with plaster. We think it
benefits the vines as well as saving them.

Installation of the New Government in
New Orleans—Oisgracelnl Revelation
and Exciting Flare-Up.
The New Orleans papers of Tuesday contain ac
counts of a flare up of rather an exciting nature
which occurred on theoccasion of the installation of
the new government of that city on Monday. The -
new Mayor, after beiug himself inducted into office,
announced his appointment of Thomas E. Adams
as Chief of Police. Immediately thereafter Mayor
Stith engaged in conversation with a Mr. Toleda
no, to whom he oflered some office in the munici
pal government, but Toledano promptly and scorn
fully rejected the ofler, saying he could not
accept office from a man who was no gentleman,
and who had violated his word of honor, and
charged the Mayor with having violated a written
pledge which he had given him and others to ap
point Recorder Lucien Adams Chief of Police m
case he was elected. The greatest excitement
here arose, and at the same time Lncien Adams
r himself approached the Mayor, holding an open
letter in his hand. Mayor Stith called on the peo
-1 pie present to protect him from insult and vio
lence in his own office. Recorder Adams said he
intended no violence, but only designed to con
front Mayor Stith before the crowd there assem
bled with the proof of his perfidy, and he then
withdrew to the outside of the City Hall, and from
the steps read to the crowd the following letter:
“ New Orleans, June 24,1858.
“I shall take pleasure, if elected, in appointing
Lucien Adams, Esq.,-as Chief of Police during my
entire term, and to this I give my word of honor.
[Signed] “Gerard Stith.
“ E. Toledano,
Wi “-
Benj. S. Harrison, J
Now, without this pledge Mr. Stith could never
have been elected. Lucien Adams is the brother
in-law of Ben. Harrison, who was a candidate for
Major, and withdrew in Stith’s favor upon the
agreement evidenced by the above pledge. With
the zealous support of Harrison’s friends, which
he could not otherwise have had, he was only elect
ed by a very small majority.
Mayor Stith has found himself unable, under
the pressure of the strong public opinion mani
fested in New Orleans for a reform in the charac
ter of the men entrusted with the police depart
ment, to redeem his pledge to appoint his Thug
confederate. But whether any circumstance or
consideration is sufficient to justify a man in vio
lation of his word of honor, is a question about
which there can be but one opinion among men of
honor. There was but one course for Mayor Stith,
as a man of honor, and that was, to relieve him
self from the dilemma in which he had placed
himself, by the improper and irredeemable pledge
be had given, by resigning. As it is, he stands
before the community of New Orleans and the
world a man dishonored and disgraced by the
proof of having forfeited his word of honor. If
the people of New Orleans are willing that the in
terests and character of their city shall remain en
trusted in the hands of such a chief magistrate,
all we have to say is, ds gustibus, Ac.
