Row ON SECOND STREEr.--Geo. w. Wooddy
John W. Woody and James Bowers were yes

charge OF assaultMg and beating William Garrett,
on Second street, North of Broad street, Satur-
day evening last 1t appeared from the evidence Of
Garrett that as the Bowers Wooddys and himself
were going up second street homewards Saturday
evening, they met man to whom John Woody
was indebted. The creditor asked Woody for
the money, when w. told him he would give
him an order on Garrett for it. To this Garrett
demurred, saying that as there existed an unset
tied account between Woody and himself, he
would not accept any order. This giving rise to
misunderstanding between the parties, John
Woody requested his brother George to stand
by him, whereupon George hoped upon Garrett
and ''amn,ed'' him in no time-blacking one of
his eyes and otherwise injurng him. The
Mayor heard the vidence--dismssed the war
rant as to Bowers and John Woody, and held
Geo. w. Woody to bail in the sum of 5000,
which he gave.

An officer on board the u. S. ship SHsqus
hahha, writes home from Cumsingmoon (China,
some of his impressions the American japan Ex-
petition is to make upon the japanese, derived
from an intimate knowledge of the manners, Gus
toms and general character of that singular peo-
pie. The writer says that the opening of the
ports of those islands, Or failing in that, even the
securing of some point, by the United States, for
coal depot, is contrary to the known policy of
the japanese Government. The writer con-
tinues
1.-The Japanese, though not, in the European
sense OF tile word, military people, are still,
even IN that light, not to be disregarced for they
are ndmittedto be brave, and to entertain less
regard Tor human life than any race on earth.
They are numerous and in that sense, pos
sess great strength; bat greater element of
power Is, that they have always been indepen-
dent and have great confidence in their ability
TO defend themselves against all invaders"
Tie writer intimates that reports have been
circulated giving the. Japanese an iaea that our
fleet is kind of Armada, sent their shores for
unriendly purposes.
"The world is apprssd that the American
Republic is about to rome into collision with
tIo umpire OF japan, Ptlo isscuuiuS d dTSe naval
force consisting of several powerful steam frgates
&c, to claim redress fot the violation of the law
of nations, as yell rs with the hope of ultimately
obligng the Japanese TO open their ports to the
comnlerc, of the world. That is about the sub
stanceaf the announcement. japan, through
BATAVIA, is very soon made aware ofthe publica-
tiou;and whether it contained the real views and
purposes OF our government or not, the effect pro.
dEced upon the mind of the Japanese would be
OF course, the same. And what would that effect
be! A mistrust of our intentions that nothing
Can change. That is the frame of mind in which
they will now be found, and the American nego
tiasor, whoever he may be, will not be able to
approach them-at least upon friendly basis
And assuming tina! force is to be used in that
event, to be forewarned is to be forearmed: that.
no doubt, will apply to the japanese as we'll as
to other nations. Their resources whatever thew
may be- will be found ready for the OCCASION"
In conclusion, the authority we quote expresses
no doubt that the American expedition will be able
to do great deal Of mischief, with its powerful
armament iii the way ofdestroying human life and
property but the fruits of a step of that kind, he
predicts, would not be worth gathering.

WHEELlNa.-Th Wheeling Gazette has the
following on the subject Of the prospects of that
city on the completion of the railroad to that
point:
The manufactures of this city now amount to
over three million OF dollars annually. The flour
seeking market here will not vary far from one
million of bnrresa year, and the tobacco of the
surrounding country that will pass through to
Baltimore, will not be less than five millions of
pounds, and of other products of less note in SINH
lar proportion. These are few, very few, of
the evidences that the city of Baltimore will open
on January lst, 1883, an immense local trade
to her as well as through the heart OF the
great west. That this trade can be gene
rally met at Baltimore and as we'll supper
ted as at any other of the eastern cities, with
the proper enterprise on the part of her mer-
chants and manufacturers, there can be no doubt.
That will be our flour and tobacco and pork and
general produce narket, and there will be the
place where we will get the cheapest and best
foreign aud domestic dry goods, groceries, hard
ware, furniture, jewelry, books, and manufactured
articles generally.
This union ofinterest, this sympathy in trade
will be inevitable. Shall it be- successful and
unalterable! 1t will be, provided the proper
measures are taken to show that Baltimore will
be- our market and is able to supply our demands,
provided she lcHtle public know that she is
prepared to 1T.
