With reference to the American Japan expedition,
the following appears in the Western Gazette: at
is stated that the Russian Government has resolved
to resist the attempts ofthe Americans against Japan
and that the Russian squadron which recently sailed
for those seas was intended for that purpose. The
Russian Government has sent for Professor Siebold,
who resides the bank of the Rhine to obtain from
him every information relative to Japan, and as to
the best to be adopted to defeat the attempts
of the United States. NJ. Siebold is well acquainted
with Japan, having resided there many years. The
Dutch government is said to be pleased with this de-
termination of the cabinet of St Petersburg as the
Americans also threaten the Dutch archipelago and
as moreover the English press express themselves
in favor of the Americans, and have lately begun to
throw discredit the Dutch rule in the East Indies
The last advices from Calcutta, under date of Au-
gust 9Th, says: "Thc American commodore has
bought, in the island Bozian, in the Japan Seas,
grounds for the deposite of coal"

In another column we publish letter from Mr. j.
L. Colby, of the late firm of Smith & Colby, recon-
mending the abandonment of the Western Railroad
and of the Cape Fear and Deep River Improvement.
On the first appearance of this letter in the Raleigh
Register last week, variety of conectures were set
aaoat concerning it Some thought it hoax from
Chapel H others that it was published to effect the
value of coal lands to enable the enterprizing
writer to make purchases of those lands at reduced
prices. Others again thought that Smith Colby
were about to cavein and that this preparatory
step. As yet we have not been able to settle which
of these plausible suppositions is correct.
1t is said that there is another house possessing
far more character and means, than Smith & Colby,
who willing to take the stock off their hands.
Whether this be so not we do not think that the
stockholders of the Western Railroad will give up
the work without struggle. Meantime we look to
see the Directors pursuing vigorous and determined
cours in the matter Fayetteville Cdrolinian.

ants Of our globe profess more than 1000 different
religions. The number of men is about equal to the

TOBACCO AT CLARKsvILLE.-The Chron
icle of the 10th says,
During the past week, nothing but dull
ness has characterised our market. Our
stemmers have generally determined, we
think early in the season, to do but a small
business, under the most favorable circum-
stances. The dull and dropping condition
of all the markets around us, caused by
high rates of freights, scarcity of money and
the threatening aspect of European affairs,
have fixed this determination Of stemmers,
and have even driven some of them entirely
from the market. Perhaps the best course
we could suggest to our farmers, is, there
fore, to tie their crops in small hands, with
view TO pricing for the inspection rooms
or for shipping.
Since our last issue, few fine crops have
been sold for $6-other grades have been
bought at lower rates. In the absence Of
public sales we can only give what we con.
ceive to be an approximation to prices Of
tobacco in hhds. They are as follows:
Lugs, 81 to 4; inferior, Al to 5; fair,
to 81; fine 6 to 81; choice, 6 to 8.

The New York Press on the Message.
The journal Of Commerce says

lie journal Oh commerce says
"The Message possesses several com
mendable qualities, one of which is its COM
parative brevity. 1t however, comprehends
a vast number of subjects, and is short
through condensation Of thought and ex-
preston, rather than for any other reason.
The doctrines of the Message will, in gen.
eral, meet with public appreciation. 1t deals
less with facts than some Of its predeces-
| sors, and more with sentiments and opin-
ions."
The Express says that
at is, in the main, an unob jectiohable
and harmless document, with few or 10
sharp points in ii; and, therefore, we were
about TO add, as a corollary, with no decis
ion of character; but the therefore, upon
consideration, we withdraw. 1t recites with
care, and in becoming brevity, the condition
of our foreign and domestic relations, upon
which, if this is all the President has to say,
the journalists of the day are quite as well
informed as he is; and thus nothing is added
thereby to the common stock Of human
knowledge"
The Herald
''If there is one thing in it more noticea-
BILE than another, after the somewhat tawdry
rhetoric in which it is couched, it is surely
the care displayed 10 avoid precise state
ments of opinions, and to cover over eau
tious silence with flourishes and fine Ian
guage."
The True Democrat
sit is a State paper Of marked ability
and as such it will be read with interest"
The Tribune
"Though the style might have been i'm.
: proved by diminishing its resemblance tc
: that Of Fourth-of-July orations, it is still
very fair, and will by no means discredi
the author. We thank the President for re
stricting it within very reasonable dimen
, sions."
The Times
THE Message is, upon all specific
points, exceedingly cautious and non-com
initial. In its generalities, its leanings ar
decidedly to the restrictive, obstructiv
school Of 1898. 1t is of moderate lengtl
and interest. =. Indeed, the absence from tn
field of public action of any topic Of specia
magnitude, renders it difficult 10 give t
this document any marked attractions"
The Courier and Enquirer
"The Message is document which ma.
repay perusal, but can hardly exact com
ment. There is hardly enough 10 exac
anything. AS an exposition of State pole,
it is nerveless and shadowy; as a piece o
composition, it is faulty in spots and inele
giant throughout; as compendium of fact
0 touching the great interests Of the country
: it is, in many respects scant and unsatisfac
tory. Its chief Importance lies in its inca
gre figures; its chief attractivcness in it
volatile defamation .Monotonous annals ar
:, said TO be the best proofs Of nations pros
!. perity; this document is sufficiently com
monplace to assure the most distIustful."
:, The National Democrat
"The style ofthe Message is easy, smooth
practical, and without any attempt at dis
play of mere words without interest c
meaning, or Of an establishment for popula
v effect.
"Ths message is an Improvement upo
G former State papers, on account Of its CON
mendable brevity."
