We are gratifed to learn, as we do from Mr Morti-
mer, that the Review will not go down-he will con.
tnue its publication and glad Of it. 1t is OBJ
vious to our mind that energy and ability have not
been wanting 10 carry on this work. Mr. Mortimer,
the present proprietor. has shown himselfa man Of
great energy and determination in the conduct OF this
periodical, which ought to command the hearty and
united support of all Southern men. The July num-
Der now before u.s. is admirable one. If we are to
Judge by appearances, and the aid we have from q
hasy perusal Of one or two of the articles, we must
pronounce it not inferior to any Of its predecessors
We shall be much grati6ed to learn that the Review
has received sufficient patronage to secure its perma-
nent establishment.

The Resources of Japan.

Foremost among the resources Of Japan are
its fisheries. The sea and its productions, we
believe, contribute fully Us much to the susie
nance of the natives, as do the fruits of the
earth-rice, perhaps, excepted. One Of their
productions has value which is not confined
to the spot, but extends to us-to OUR enter.
prise, and our tEade-we mean the whale, or,
as they call it. kudsuri. There is nothing of
which such extensive use is made by the Japan
ese, both for rich and poor. 1t is found all
around Japan, but particularly in the sea Keu-
mano, which washes the southern coasts of the
Island Nphon, the most important territory of
the empire; and it also prevails in the islands
Tsussima and Goto, and upon the coasts of
Omura and Nomo. These whales not only af
ford oil in great abundance, but their flesh,
which is considered very wholesome and nutri.
tious. is largely consumed. No part of them,
indeed, is thrown away-all is made available
to some useful purpose or another, excepting
the large shoulder bone. The skin, which is
generally black; the flesh, which is red, and
looks like beef; the intestines, and all the in.
ward parts-besides the fat or blubber, which
is boiled into oil, and the bone, which is con-
verted into innumerable uses all is made a.
vailable, to purposes ofproft. We have gone
into these few particulars respecting the'whale,
because it is that which has brought our coun.
trymen into contact with Japan. Many ofonr
saips have for some considerable time past fire..
quented those seas for capturing the whale, an
occupation which, it is found, might be pursu-
ed ,rith 0reat advantape under commercial

MAIL ARRAHcEMENrs.--It is known to our
readers that in order to facilitate the great
Northern and Southern mails, the running OF
two daily trains was requisite, involving an ad'
ditional and regular night train on the South
Carolina Railroad. The Department, howev.
er, has heretofore declined to pay any addition
al compensation for the service although it is
allowed on all other roads on the route. Even
this compensation would have failed to pay the
company for the additional expense.
We now learn from Washington that the
President of the South Carolina Railroad who
had visited that city for the purpose of coming
to terms in relation to the matter, has failed IN
his purpose, the Department refusing to pay
any additional compensation for the extra SER
vices required. Thus, from false economy,
the arrangements north aud south of the South
Carolina Road are rendered Intellectual BY the
refusal of the Department to comply with the
reasonable request Of the company. There ls'
as our readers may perceive, neither justice nor
equity in this obstinacy of the Postmaster
General. We think that the company is right
in refusing to perform the service unless placed
on an equal footing with other roads OF the
same class as theirs.-Souh Carolinian.

Renfon and Calhoun.

The Richmond Examiner in not very COM
plimentary notice of Benton's book uses the
following language: -,
One thing we must, however, say in favor OF
Benton. While he unscrupulously burrows
and adorns his own cnnceted vain head, with
the laurels and honors which were the legtI.
mate property Of his contemporaries, he treats
the living and the dead statesmen, who were
his associates, with remarkable aud unexpected
kindness. He lavishes sugar plums upon the
living, and scatters garlands of flowers over
the graves of the dead in many instances where
those familiar with his malgnancy and envlous
nature, thought that he would have voded
nothing but luathsome abuse and vitriolic bill.
lingsgate. But whilst this poor, fallen Luclter
of the Democratic party amiatly showers en-.
comums and eulogies, where nothing but the
odor of birthstone was expected, he cannot re.
frain from occasionally, ghost-like, sneakingly,
quietly yet Indignantly, .desecraling the grave
aud asSailing the memory OF that pure and no.
BILE statesman, under whose keen intellectual
cimelar and heavy, crushing battle axe, he so
often fell bruised, manned, and blinded with
impotent rage. We, Of course, mean Calhoun.
The hoary apostate does not tot verb's utter
against that great mans memory single word
Of open abuse-but by frequent inuendos, ma.
licious hints, and occasional slight misrepre.
sentations, he attempts slyIy to blacken his
course.
He does more than justice to Clay and
Webster, but to the memory of the purest and
nobIest of the three great American statesmen
he does anything but justice. Yet Calhoun
alone, of all Benton's contemporaries, never
dealt in abuse and personalities when replying
to his assaults. He invariably punished his
insoence us calmly and dispassionately as a
gentleman would chastise bIackguard. Hence
Benton's hatred burns and g lows as intensely
as it did ten years ago. The contrast between
Calhoun and HIMSELF il the memory OF the
former being honored and worshipped with
idolatrous veneratipn and affection, by the
South, whilst the latter is loathed, execrated,
and branded as a traitor, by his party and
section, was too much even for the hypocrisy
of Benton. Hence, although he sheds croco
die tears plen,eously upon the graves OF ma.
ny of his old political and personal enemies,
he tears off the mask of decent hypocrisy, when
speaking Of Mr.. Calhoun, and goes to work
like hyena.

TREATMENT OF SOUTHERN MEN IN New
ESeIAND.-I In the Boston Journal of Friday,
we find the following paragraph:
"a good deal of excitement existed in Wor.
cester through the day yesterday, in consequence
of a current report that two men from Virgin.
ia were in the city in quest of fugitive slaves.
The facts in the case were as follows: Two
strangers arrived in the city Wednesday night,
and put ap at the Nashua House. All the
rooms being occupied they were put into q
room to sleep where there was another bed,
which was occupied by a county officer, who
was also stopping at the same House. Suppo-
sing him to be asleep, they conversed freely as
to their business. The officer alluded to over.
heard it, and in the morning, as soon as he was
up, made known the character and business of
his guests to the landlord.
When the two strangers came down from
their room, they inquired what time breakfast
would be ready. The landlord replied that he
had no breakfast for them: that when he could
not make living without feeding kdnappers
he would starve, and ordered them at once to
quit his premises. They left, and as they were
not afterwards seen, it is supposed they took
the early train for Boston. The story soon got
abroad that there were "kidnappers" in the
city, and strict watch was at once set at the
depots for the suspected individuals.
About ten o'clock, the alarm was given that
they were at the depot Of the Nashua and Wor-
cester road, in Salisbury square. Immediately
the " Court Mills" which are in the immediate
vicinity, were stopped, and the operatives,
numbering some 400 or 500 mechanics, turned
out to give the kdnappers what John Mitchell
would Call serenade backwards. 1t was cur
rently reported that they had kettle of tar
and bag of feathers all ready for use. The
alarm was however, false one, and there was
therefore, no breach Of the peace. There was
q strict watch kept at all the depots, and it wa.
agreed that in case the services Of the Free
dom Club" were needed, the bells should be
tolled as signal.
