NS@The well-known preacher of New
Orleans, Theodore Clapp, who is rusticating
at the North writes to the Picayune a
highly eulogistic letter concerning Henry
Ward Beecher He concludes thus:
"Must not admit this great, original,
wonderful man, simply because he is classed
with the Abolitionists? Abolitionism in
the mind of Mr.. B. is nothing but beauti-
full dream-a vision of moral loveliness, en-
rapturing to behold. It is mixed with no
element Of harshness or misanthropy. He
does not judge rightly about the destruction
Of slavery, because utterly ignorant of the
difficulties which the case involves This
remark is applicable to all the good Aboli-
tionists of the North. They are not aware
that Southern negroes can no more be made
fellow-citizens than pine trees can be turned
into sugar naples. Gin. Commercial

From JaDan,

An officer from the United States frigate,
PoWhatan, writing from Japan, says
"ldolatry is everywhere to be seen, even
more than in China, and statuary seems to
be very common. The grave-yards are full
of rude soul lptureS, and images of gods and
heroes placed there as tutelary guardians
on the tOmbstOnes, or for some such pur-
pose. Tibetan letters and sentences are
used as charms about the graves, no one
knowing at all what they mean If they
were ineligible, the charm would be bro
ken. Temples are common, and wayside
divinities present their weather-beaten fa-
ces every few rods. l have penetrated six
or seven miles from the shore, and have ev-
erywhere been well received but the same
shyness was apparent among all. do not
think the common people live as well, or as
comfortably, in their domestic arrange
ments, as the Chinese do, but they look
healthier and better fed"
Another letter, dated United States ship,
Macedonian, says
The people here are much finer looking
than the Chinese. They dress better and
are more cleanly in their appearance. They
greet us cordially, and are pleasant and live
ly and rather fond Of wines. Gentlemen of
the upper-ten-dom all wear two swords
"We find the japanese to be great farm
ers and good mechanics. | have examined
some of their work. 1t is very good, and
they learn anything quickly. But they are
far behind the times with respect to their
boats, both in rig and hull.
"Our new friends need no lessons in the
art Of trading. They charge us seYenty-fye
cents for a chicken. Some of Our men paid
them in gold coin, and received their change
in copper washed with gold. They are a
shrewd, cunning people. and they will show
it before long. They are very active, as
you would have said, had you seen them
leap and run when the locomotive uttered
its first scream"

An American Woman in Paris.

Under this caption the New York Tri-
bune has introduced its readers to one of
the liveliest writers and correspondents
which it has been our lot to read for many
day. In speaking Of the fastness of the
age and the progress Of art, she remarks in
a very womanly way:
IN OF only are the sun and stars bribed
to human interest, but the moon, once proud
queen Of night, now stoops from her empyr-
can height to rock the cradle of the deep
EndymiOn's chaSte mistress, who for ages
"wept worlds Of light for him." now opens
her sanctuary to the telescope'svul gaze.
Now Diana, instead of chasing with the
shooting stars in the parks of heaven, MUIR
murs not at standing guide-board to the
milky-way, or at holding Gunter's chain
from mortals to immensity. Apollo, up be-
times, frights Phebe from her ocean bath.
No longer dare she linger listlessly over its
mirror to curl her cloudy ringlets, to pow
der them with mist, to confne them here
and there upon her brow with diamond
star. No, The moon must work. Alas,
poor moon-she is moon-struck! Is she
mad at loss or lack of lovers? Yes, poor
mad moon Now she colts herself with
horns on which men hang dilemmas, and
the weather-porters their water-pails, which
she in fantasy tips hither and thither as
best BELTS the mood she is in.
The lightning too, like Pegasus has been
brought into the traces. Instead of snap
ping off steeples, scraping his matches on
church towers, breaking, untimely, into
houses, he lets himself down from the clouds
by chain; and once here he sOberly puts
on Franklins hat and Morses coat and pam
falcons, and like right smart Yankee,
turns Secretary Of State"
This last allusion to the lightning is deci-
dedly original, and evinces peculiar fresh
ness and vigOr. Lightning conceived of in
a hat, coat and breeches, acting the part OF
Sam Slick or Jonathan, is altogether fun
ny fancy. Delta.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATEs.-Accor-
ding to London letter in the New York
Times, General Espartero, the head of the
new Spanish government, has had several
interviews with Mr.. Soule, and has inform
ed him that the Spanish cabinet will do it's
best to settle all matters of difference hay-
ing pecuniary character and as to ques-
tions of national honor and dignity, the
United States cannot expect any greater
satisfaction than in the fact that the i'm
peached government, at whose hands Span
ish subjects have also suffered injustice, has
been driven out by a popular rising, As to
Cuba, in particular there is no Africaniza-
ton in view, put no purchase is likely-the
government being confident that, with an
honest and liberal policy toward the colo
nists, they will become more useful and bet
ter satisfied dependencies of the mother coun-
try than they have been hitherto.

FROM SALT LAKE TO CARSON VALLEY
The newly discovered route from Great Salt
Lake bids fair to be of the utmost impor-
tance to the Valley. The route leaves the
Lake to the north, getsrid of falkalized Hum
boldt, obviates the necessity of crossing
Goose Creek mountains, and escapes the
desert 1t is said to shorten the distance
some 200 miles, and the longest stretch
without grass and water is but % miles,
We expect that the regiment of U. S. troops
now wintering at Salt Lake will come thro'
this route early next season, and thus estab-
lish it as the principal emigrant road next
year. Eve. Journal

HE WEALTH OF THE INDIAN ARCHIPEL-
AGo.-In connection with the following par
ticulars regarding the multitude of islands
forming the Indian Archipelago will be
found interesting: The islands which from
the Archipelago are New Guinea. Borneo.
Sumatra, Java and the Malayan Peninsula,
Celebra, Luzon, ,Mindanac-these being the
largest islands in the world, next to Austria,
ia-and sixteen smaller islands of the fourth
class-Bali, Sumbawa, Samor, ect., ect.-
The whole Archipelago is divided near the
centre by the Equator, and nearly the
whole lies within ten degrees Of it. This
great group Of islands is donbtless the grand
est and most prolific field on earth fer ad-
vantageous commercial operations It con
tains population of between twenty-five and
thirty millions. The Dutch claim dominion
over thirteen millions; and admitting their
pretensions in its fullest extent there still re-
mains population of twelve to fifteen mil
lions inhabiting a country rich in every el-
ement of natural production, and Offering to
the enterprising navigator far more prof.
table field Of enterprise than China or any
other portion Of the East The narrow
minded spirit of Dutch monopoly has nulli-
fed, in a great measure, the ameiorating
tendencies of European civilization in the
Eastern Archipelago. The natural wealth
Of these islands is incalculable, and furnishes
long catalogue of minerals, coal, and an
timOny, iron, tin, sickel, quicksilver, and
gold in abundance; diamonds to be found in
Borneo equal those of India or Brazil, and
probably in other gems. Timber of the
most valuable kinds abounds in the woods
of Java and Madura The climate is fa-
vorable throughout the Archipelago to veg
citation, and the soil wears perpetual YER
dure. 1t is rich and deep, capable of pro-
ducing sugar cane, nutmegs in abundance,
cinnamon, oranges, and many other fruits
and vegetables not originally found there.
The cabbage-palm, the bamboo, the cocoa
nut, sago, rattans, nipali, and other trees,
yield the most articles for native consump-
ton, with rice, so grateful to the inhabi-
tants Of the East Besides these, there are
vegetable talloW, and vegetable wax, and
native oil-w0od, various oil seeds, gutta per
cha, so abundant in the forests of Sumatra;
also, dammer, wild cinnamon, cotton, pep
per, coffee, gambler, tobacco numerous dye
stuffs and aloes, are among the articles for
expectation; wax, edible birds nests, bezo-
ar stones, and tortoise shells, may be added
to the list Of articles of commercial value,
produced in Borneo, and the other Islands
of the Archipelago. Celebes, another OF
these islands, in addition to the articles al
ready enumerated, may yet vie with Cali
fornia and Astralia in its placers Of gold
This precious metal has been lately found IN
large fakes within the Sultanate of Mena-
do These flakes or sheets of pure ore,
some presenting a surface of nine and ten
inches square, though not more than an
eighth of an ZACH thick, have been PICKED
out of the assures of volcanic strata OF rock.
