Judging from the wagons crossed at the ferries

THE EXPEDITION TO JApAN.-Some of the news
papers are insisting upon the nsuhciency of the
pedition which is being fitted out for japan. This
objection would be valid were it the purpose of our
Government to send hostile armament against that
country But such is not the intention. The visit
is one of peace and friendship, intended to open
commercial intercourse, if it be found practicable,
and to secure kind treatment to such American cti
zens as may be cast upon the japanese coasts either
by shpwreck or otherwise. Were our Government
to undertake to compel the authorities of Japan to
open their ports to our trade, much larger force
than that to be sent would certainly be required,
and it is doubtful whether our whole navy could ef
