THE Japan Treaty.

The Washington Union having recently pub
lished fullsome article in praise of the Admins
traton, claiming for it, among other things, great
credit on account of the various treaties lately
concluded with foreign countries, the New York
Herald, which helped to elect Gen Pierce, says :
The next treaty which the Union has claimed
credit for, is the Japan convention. But so far
from the Pierce administration being deserving Of
credit for that, it did all it could to prevent it, aud
to destroy the whole expedition. Last winter,
Mr.. DobbHs, Secretary Of the Navy, wrote to
Commodore Perry that the present administration
did not approve of the object for which he was
sent to the Pacific, that they did not think it could
result in anything but the most humillating fail
ure, and directed him to return home at once, and
to send the ships to New York AMI Boston with
out delay 1t was an unconditional order, intend
ed evidently to convey censure upon the folly OF
Mr.. Fillmore and MIR. Webster In sending Com
modore Perry TO Japan, and marking that censuro
by breaking up the expedition, and ordering the
Commodore home almost in disgrace. Fortunate
y for the honor Of the country and the interests Of
commerce, Commodore Perry did not receive this
dispatch in time, and he was therefore enabled to
carry cut the programme laid down by Mr.. Web
ster. And vet, in the face of these facts,-for
Secretary DIS despatch has been published-the
Union and the administration claim this treaty as
their victory!

john Preston.

Messrs. Marquis & Kelly, stOne-cutters of this
place, are preparing q monument to be erected
over, the grave of John Preston, in Thinking
Spring grave yard, by order of his greatgrandson,
the Hon. William C. Preston, of South Carolina.
Col. Preston was in this place about six weeks
ago, and visited the grave Of his ancestor, the
spot being pointed Oat to him BY venerable man
residing in the neighborhood. The monument
will consist of polished pedestal and shaft of ma
tive limestone, fourteen feet in heighth. The to-
tai cost will be five hundred dollars.
John Preston was enc of the early settlers of
this county. faour researches among the county
records few years ago we cane across the fol-
lowing entry, made at the May Court, l746 !:
"John Preston came into Court and prayed leave
to prove his importation, which was granted him
and theroupon he made cath that at his own
charge he had imported himself, Elizabeth his
wife, William his son, and Lettice and Ann his
daughters Immediately from Ireland into this Col
ony, aud that this is the first time of proving his
said right in order to partake of his Maiesty's
bounty for taking up land-which is ordered to be
certified" The next time the name Preston Oc-
cutS in the records, is Nov. Goth, 1854, when
William Preston obtained allowance for l03
wolf heads" If William slew all these, he was
certainly ''a mighty hunter;' but it is probable
that many of the "heads" were assigned to him,
as it appears from other entries that they were
an article of traffic at the time, possibly constu-
tine kind of currency

Trial OF DIR. Thompson.

DR.. Thompson was arraigned for the murder of
Miss PhaIr, before the Circuit Court Of Allegha-
ny, on Saturday week. The counsel for the
prosecution are MIR. Skeen, CONFERENCE.-The At
torney, and Mr. Terrill, of Bath; for the prisoner,
Mr. Niche of Staunton, Mr. Miller of Botetourt,
and Mr.. Baker of Covington. Upon consulta-
ton among these gentlemen, Judge Hudson post
poned the trial until the 9Th of November, as
the number of witnesses and the intricacy Of the
case made special term necessary. A cores
pondent OF the Richmond Penny Post says:
understand the prisoner behaved with remark
able GOODNESS ard self possession, wearing smile
on his face and answering "NoT GUILTY" to the
indictment with an air indicating consciousness
of innocence. Public opinion is, as Iar as have
been able to gather, against the prisoner, yet not
upon legal grounds. Indeed. apart from other de-
iects in the evidence. Maj. Gillian of the Va.
Military Institute, has pronounced, on a second
analysis, the absence of poison from tue stomach
Of the unfortunate young lady, Hiss Pharr. And
thus the majority of persons, with whom nave
conversed, think the chances 9facgaittal are much
greater than those of condemnation.

prnyers Returning.

Several cattle dealers from North Carolina,
Tennessee and South West Virginia, who took
large droyes Of stock cattle through this place re-
Gently, have returned with their stock having
found no demand in the grazing counties below
us, on account Of the late drouth. We under
stand that one drover said he would loose six
thousand dollars, and preferred to give his friends
aud ueighbOrs the benefit OF his loss; another de-
cared that he was rendered insolveut by the fail
ure of his speculation, and would 90 home and
surrender the cattle to the persons from whom he
bought them. A drove, however, was sold in
this vicinity last week. 3. Johnston Barbour,
Esq, of Orange, who happened to be here, Pur-
chased 100 at S27 50 head. The same cattle
cost the owner $50 each. Other drovers have
been pressing forward, notwithstanding the dis
couragug reports from below.

DISORDER IN New ORLEANs.-At the date OF
the last report from New Orleans, the disturban-
ces still continued Pistols were fired at persons
sitting in their houses, and inoffensive people as
sailed and beaten in the public streets, but by
whom, or for what purpose, is not explained
The papers are making themselves merry over a
Doctor Meghn, who led one of the recent mobs.
He is a short fussy man, and was arrested bearing
cross and large dragon sword with the fear
full words Liberty or death" inscribed upon it,
His appearance was exceedingly provocative Of
laughter It would seem that the police Of New
Orleans were entirely inefficient. The following
anecdote is related: During the riots a distn-
pushed city iunctionary, whose predictions for
peace are worthy of the staunchest Quaker com
muniun, was sought for at somewhat late hour
of the nght for the purpose of obtaining an order
relative to the riot, and he was found in a state
of happy obviousness. The imminency Of the
danger was strongly represented to him, and his
exertons were requested for the suppression Of
difficulties. The old gentleman bloomed out like
mammoth cactus, and informed his visiter that
'sthere was no difficulty only everybody go TO
bed, and nobody would be killed he had exam
med carefully; he had drank with both parties,
and peaceabler citizens and b-b-better gentlemen
could not be found. The shooting was only for
fun If any body attacks you, ask him TO drink,
and it'll be settled. Try it; | did," And he
found it exceedingly sedalive.
