From the National ln,elligenoer, Nov. r..
An Expedition to the Pacific.

About the first of January an expedition
will depart from the port of Norfolk Tor tile
performance of important aud arduous du-
ties in tie far-oif seas and islands OF the
Pacific ocean. |, objects will be to survey
portions of the China and Japan seas, the
route between China aud California, and
California seas, aud the North Pacific
ocean in the region Of Behring's straits
1t may probably ascend the sea of rartary,
TO make some examinations needed Tor the
advantageous prosecution of commercial
enterprise TO those comparatively unknown
waters.
In the North, however. it will no doub,
find very wide field for its operations,
making such Investigations as are desirable
for the furtherance of our important inter
ests in the whale fisheries.
The Sandwich islands will for time be
the principal rendezvous of the vessels of
this expedition but II is not unlikely that
its arrival at Japan will be SO timed as to
make it available in facilitating the efforts
of Commodore Perry, whose fleet will larry
a considerable time in the vicinity of those
islands.
The most eminent medical skill in the
service Will be detailed, ana scientihc men
in every department will be selected with
reference to their high reputation and emf
nent suitabeness for the duties in view
The crew also will consis tllone of young,
healthy, vigorous, and efficient seamen !;
men capable of enduring all the requisite
labor and privalions, aud intelligent enough
to appreciate the importance aud salniary
results Of the mission upon which they are
to be sent
In every particular this expedition will
be thoroughly prepared for the work before
it. The vessels will be peculiarly adapted
for it in their construction and equipment.
la the selection Of the requisite arma-
ments, efforts have been successfully made
to obtain the most perfect of every kind,
and such as will prove efficient in their ap-
proprlate uses.

whales with nets made Of strong ropes a.
bout two inches thick This method was
afterwards followed with good success by
another man olthe country They say that
as soon as a whale finds its head entangled
ia net, he cannot, without great difficulty,
swim away or dive, and may be very easily
killed with harpoon in the common man
ner. The reason why this new method hath
not been universally received is, because it
requires greater aud much more expen-
sve set Of tackle than common fishermen
can afford
They euumerate six kinds Of whales,
differing in name, form, and size OF all
these several kinds, nothing was thrown a.
way by the japanese as useless They
boiled the fat or blubber into train oil they
picked, boiled, roasted, or fred,the fish and
ate 1t; they even reduced the car,ilaginous
bones into food they made cords, ropes,
aud strings for their musical instruments
out of the nerves and tendons they made
a great use Of the fins, and out of The Jaw
bones and other solid bones, they manutac-
tured numerous articles, particularly their
fine steelyards for weighing their gold and
silver.
The Japanese fishermen attribute to the
flesh of the whale. their iavorte fosd, their
strength and hardlhood and their exlraordi-
nary capabiIity Of enduring exposure to cold
and foul weather.
1t was in pursuing the whale to the coast
OF Japan that the American fishermen met
with those disasters and that inhospitabe
treatment which first made the government
of the United States turn its attention in
this direction.
Turtles of enormous size are said 10 a.
bound on the southern or eastern coast
Salmon, soles, turbot, sort of cod, smells,
aud other delicious sea fish, together with
all sorts of Holsters, crabs shrmps, oysters,
muscles &c, are taken in surprising album
dance and there are other fish of species
unknown to US, aud of which some are said
to be delicious. Ii is fortunate Tor the ma
tiyes that their prejudIces aud supersiltions
allow them to cat fish. In the larger islands
every part Of the coast was thickly strewed
with buildings, and at every second or third
mile are populous villages from which ex-
tensiye fisheries are carried on. In fact,
the japanese are essentially ichhyophdgi.
Aided by a growth Of potatoes, or an ade
quate supply of rice, the sea alone would
support vast population.

Encouragement from the past for
the Wings.

In 1886 the Wings were so greatly IN the
minority and so dIsorganized as party,
that they nearly failed Of making national
nomination aud yet IN four years afterwards
they swept The country with Harrison as
then candidate, againstthe combined power
and influence aud patronage of the National
and State Governments. Such, with proper
landmarks, is by no means unlikely will be
their fortune in 1856 They are now de-
lealed by a combination Of factions which
has no parallel in the history of this country
aud which cannot bear the test of time, aud
be held together in support of any admins
lralion as II was rallied Ia support OF Gen.
Pierce. A combination OF such elements as
Free Sellers and Nulifers, Unlonlsts and
Secessionlsis, Nalivists and Foreigners,
Tariff men and Free Traders, Improvement
men aud auli-Improyement men, cannot
long be held together aud unite IN support
of any adpinisiratioD. -N Y. Express.

Total number of men

To the above total of the ships compa-
nlcs arc to be added 700 marines, which,
with the complement of the storcshlps, off
GERS, scientific corps, and others attached
to the expedition, will make an effective
force OF 1000 men and above 800 guns,
mostly heavy ordinance. The steamers
are each to mount couple of Paxihan
guns of the largest calibre, and placed on
revolving trucks, so as to sweep the hor-
zon. These guns are intended to be used
for the discharge of shells of 6s and 100
lbs. each, 2nd long 42's, making p guns
