THE JAPANESE. = Captain Adams. of tho United States navy, who recently returned w;,l the Japanese treaty, found the Japanese official extremely courteous and friendly, and the peo pie social and communicative Their forn,o. dlstrust and jealousy seemed greatly diminish ed. There was some difficulty in procuring tbo signature of the Emperor to the treaty. as il was the custom for the supreme council to act in his stead. But the difficulty vas overcome and the treaty with the United States is tho first that has ever received the signature of . Japanese Emperor. The privileges of trado secured are more liberal and advantageous than have been secured by any other nation that hos obtained access to th.s isolated people.
 The Japanese offials made many inouiros after Com. Perry, to whom they sent messaors of remembrance The circular railroad and h. comotive he took ou had been put up in Yedo and the Japanese could now manage them ve' ry we'll, the locomoti'e making its trips every day. They had also the life boat in the water with a special crew ddaied for her. The ma,' netic telegraph, however, was rather too diff cult for them, and they had not succeeded to Tot 1t to work properly. During the visit of Com Perry's squadron they took measurements of the storeship Soutbom.pon and hey had a vos. sel of the same molel md dimensions nearly ready for launching. The old Japanese law restricting the size and model of their ituks has recently been abrogated and th9 government is now ambitious to possess a squadron similar to ours From this lactit will be seen how ranid is the growth of new ideas in this secluded ro- ton, and what vast changes must necessarily result from their furtler intercourse with Ame. ricauS.
 The orly American article they objected to the introduction of WIS religion. They prefer. red their own, and th commissioners returned to Capt. Adams budle of religious books and tracts, which one ofthe American chaplains had distributed amolg the people, requesting him to take them badl to America They re- monstrated at this attempt to proselyto the Ja- panese, as Tn violation of the principles of the treaty and contrary'o the Japanese law-Na- l tlnnnL LlteILnpncpr

Know Nottingham on the wane-
 EverVwhere.

Every where, from every part of the Uniol the intelligence of the decline of know moth ingsm still pours in upon us. The democrat who have been deceived and entrapped into it fold begin to find out its nature, its polilica complexion and it's object, and they are comin out of 1t. In Oregon at the recent election 0 delegate to Congress Gen. Lane, democrat, tri umphed over his know nothing opponent b 2,00O majority.
 In Louisiana, the whole order have reludiat ed the Philadelphia platform. The New Or | leans Bee has left the party. The New Or leans Exponent a strong know nothing organ takes leave of Sam in the following manner "This misnamed body has closed its labors The platform does not meet our views nor ou wishes. We cannot stand upon it. :" So far as the religious portion is concerned ace utterly repudiate it. * * * 1 "No enlightened, no southern State can ac cept the anti-constitutional doctrines therein contained; nor will we, under any circumstan ces, fight under its banner"
 The democratic papers of Kentucky, Mis- sssppi, Tennessee and Alabama are filled every week with the cards of democrats announcing their withdrawal from Sam's order, api their determination to adhere to the old democratic party
 The democrats in Arkarsas begin also to open their eyes. Many are withdrawing, and many more, becoming lukewarm and rather dis gusted, are preparing to withdraw.
 The following from the Camden So,Aa Stump, shows the sentiment prevailing in Ouachita county. The democrats there who have on- cd are sorely disgusted, and many of them haze repudiated the order Among the list of vlth- drawals given by the last South Stamp names universally known will be recognized. We welcome them back to the democratc ranks with right hearty good cheer. They have found out the talacy of know notningism, and they have shown the spirit b throw 1t overheard. Read every body what the South Stamp says about it.

about two hundred arrested and led by armed po-
nee force 10 the headquarters OF the brigade under the
orders Of the new Pro-Consul. On the night of the
10th the crowd arrived at Aups, little town Of three
thousand Inhabitants, few leagues from Dragsi-

spected and much esteemed in the department was im

of the halpgplaces. They stopped in the prison Of
the town.
At the moment of departure NJ Cartel saw his
brother and some Of his friends approaching him.
They learned nom the generous democrat that two

fate. NJ. Garie then gave TO hs brother his watch,
his money and his papers, asking hun, well IS his
friends, the dearest svOr, TO be with him to the

that not one of them could resolve to see him
die. Not even the eOachman, who refused to
