A correspondence from the U. S. ship Van
daiia, of the Japan expedition, dated April,
1854, says that the ships did not approach
within sight Of Jeddo, as has been stated.
Just before the treaty was concluded, the
Commodore gave an entertainment to the
japanese officials, on the quarter deck of the
Powhattan. They did full justice to the
American cookery, and were exceedingly fond
OF champagne, under the influence of which
they became so very merry and familiar, that
one of them vigorously embraced the Commo-
dore, who, until his epaulettes began to suffer
in the struggle, was very good-naturedly dis
posed to endure it. The Japanese are repre-
sented as much finer looking race than the
Chinese, intelligent, polite and hospitable, but
proud, icentious untorgiving and revengeful

them: They have prepared combustibles,
and have cut off the supply Of water, and
burned the lire engines. Orders are issued
that wherever the enemy appear in superior
strength, towns and villages are to be reduced
to ashes. Unceasing preparations are being
made in Sebastopol for defence. All criminal

SoUATTER SovERErGNTY.-We hear from
Fort Smelling, that the sale of the "Reserva-
ton at that point, took place few days
since. There was large number of specula-
tors in attendance, but ''Squatter Sovereign
ty' was also there to assert his rights. The
day of sale came on at the Saltwater Land Or
flee; the squatters were there in their males.
ty, headed by ex-members of Congress, &C.,
understood. They had selected spots of land,
or subdivisions, and it was as much as man s
life was worth to bid against these squatters.
The result was, that the whole reservation,
amounting to $1,000 acres, and worth $50 to
$500 per acre, was sold at Congress prlce,
$l.25 per acre.-&. Louis Republican.

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-The Dayton, Ohio,
Empire, thus relates how providentially Mr..
Hosler escaped death from stroke of light
ming, few days since, while walking home
in storm:
"The fluid entered his hat where the crown
joins the rim, burning large hole and tear
ing the brim to pieces passed down his face,
decorating it severely, knocking out his teeth
and tearing off the greater part of his lower
lip, then passed down his body, tearing it
frightfully, passed out of his slippers into the
earth, tearing about half dozen holes in
them, and ripping of the sole of one of them.
At the time of the casualty it was raining in
torrents, which accounts for his not being in
stantly killed.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Convention came to order about 2
o'clock, when loud calls were made for Rug
giles Slack. That gentleman promptly re-
sponded to those calls. and made a few inco-
herent remarks, eulogizing the speech made
by Mr.. Childs, in the forenoon.
Col. Needham, of Groton, moved that a
Committee of five be appointed to receive,
sort. and count the votes for democratic can
'didate for Governor 1t was moved to amend
the motion, by proposing that Hon. II. W.
Bishop be nominated by reclamation. Mr..
Bishop was so nominated. when three loud
cheers were given for him as nominee of the
Convention.
The Chairman read letter from Judge
Bishop, in which he declined to be re-nomi-
mated as candidate for Governor. He thanked
the democratic party for their kindness and
partiality to him, in nominating him on two
previous occasions. He expressed the hope
that the democratic party would continue to
be as it always had been, the firm supporter
and constant advocate Of the constitutional
right Of the inhabitants of the States and ter.
ritories to regulate their own socicl arrange
ments. 1t was voted to lay the letter on the
table.
A committee of three, of which Hon. II. H.
Childs was chairman, was appointed to wait
upon Judge Bishop, who was in Lowell, hold
ing court, and inform him of his nomination
by the Convention.
g. l.. Fall, of Maiden, moved the appoint
ment of committee Of five to receive, sort,
and count the votes for Lieut.. Governor.
This motion was deferred ON motion of Mr..
rockingham, of Charlestown, until the Com
mittee on Resolutions had made their report
Mr.. Loring, of Salem, Chairman of the COM
mittee. then came forward and read a series
OF resolutions reafhrming the Baltimore plat
form recognizing the policy Of the admins
tration Of Franklin Pierce as being fully in
accordance with the spirit of that platform: en-
logizing the administration for its foreignpolicv
in making the American name respected. and

OREGON ITEMs.-We learn that gold has
been discovered by the Indians about 80 miles
below the dalles of the Columbia.
A party just returned from Mount Hood,
Oregon, report it to be volcano, although it
has not probably been i'll an active state for a
long period. Smoke is issuing at the present
time, however.
An extensive quarry of granite, the first
discovered in Oregon, has been opened about
five miles from Portland.

this city yesterday afternoon. 1t numbered
about one hundred and fifty after leaving Bos
