fnE NEWS FRoM tApAN.

The following Is tbe late news from
Japan, ne REPORTED at San francisco by
Capt. wcohnotss, Of the schooner Page
from Simodsi
On the lith Of November, at 10 O'Clock
p. MA violent earthquake occurred at
Jeddo which destroyed enc hundred thous-
and dwellings, ffty-four temples, and thirty
thousand inhabitants. Fire broke out a,
the save time In thirty different parts OF
The city. The earth opened and closed oyrr
thousands Of buildings with their occupsnts.
The shock was severe at Simoja. Although
the distance from Jeddr to Simoda Is but
sixiy miles, it appears that no official ac-
coun, Of the earthquake had been received
Ut the latter. place at the time OF the sail
ing oil the schooner Page, December TO-
The news was obtained through the Dutch
interpreter. The japanese seemed to attach
but little Importance 10 the catastrophe -
The inhabitants Of the portion Of the city
destroyed were forewarned Of the disaster
and many Of them escaped. The buildings
OF Jeddo are chiefly of one story and con-
structed of very light material. The temples
Of worship. however, are lofty, and in some
instances afe constructed OF heavy masonry.

0JOur lrienG Capt. Simpson claims that
we made a mistake in saying that four
delegates cast the entire vote of Ohio in
the Council. He says there we're eight at
least and probably Ten, and thinks it per-
fectly fair, as it was rule adopted by the
Convention that the remaining delegates
should cast the entire votes of their re-
spective States. Admitting, for the sake
Of the argument, that his statements are
correct, where does it leave the NORTH
The true men of the North were not rep.
resented in the Convention their delegates
having seeded. Is it fair that the whole
State of Ohio should be represented by
eight delegates. Could they fairly present
the true sentiment of the Statei We think
not.
But our reasons for saying that foursdes
egales cast the vote of Ohio were these:-
Owing to the strong pro-slavery action of
that Convention ninetsen Ohio delegates
withdrew; fourteen of them signed the "Ad-
dress" which we published at the time, and
that address not gong far enough for the
other fus, they attached another condition
to it and signed it. We supposed when
men of such irmness as we know many OF
these seceders are (for we are acquainted
with some of them,) had taken such de-
c.sive step they would not turn back. The
entire Ohio delegation is 80; from this take
the 10 seceders, and il leaves, according to
our former statement, 4 to cast the entire
vote. Some alternates may have been
present and stepped into the places vacated
by the seceders, thus making up the eight
by the Captain. OF this how
ever, we know hing.

Mr.. Editor Sir, there was meeting
called, in our district, on Saturday 18th
inst. And as | am interested in the ed
ucation OF children | attended. | believe il
is customary at such meetings to appoint
committe to frame resolutions, and re-
port proceedings and Sc nd the same to the
county papers for publication. And as
that was not attended to, will take the
liberty OF sending you slight sketch OF
the proceedings. .... .ra
The ex-teacher had on the last day OF
school invited the children to meet at the
school house at 8 o'clock, A. NJ, to par
take of treat of candy, and to inform
their parents, they were also requested to
be there, as the directors wished to know
if it was the wish OF the people to con-
tinue the school. The children were there
at the appointed time, and after waiting
about an hour dozen men came, and after
some time the Teacher and two of the d.
rectors, preceded by boy carrying carpet
sack and pair of walters, followed in a
few minutes by director No. 8. Director
No. /, stepped behind the table, and stated
the object Of the meeting to be, to know
if the parents wished to expend what mon
ey was in the treasury for a school this
spring or not. Then the candy was hand
ed round by two of the largest scholars,
then the teacher attempted to speak, falter-
ed, failed and sat down. Director No. i,
took his place, but with no better success,
a pause ensued. though that Director
No. would move for recess, but No. 3
come to the rescue, and whispered "a short
.ime to the teacher, and then to No. 2 and
No. /, ard inay retired behind the table
expected a speech then, but he only said
does any one wish to suggest any idea
conce ming the government of this school!
and took his seat again.
Then another pause, followed by whisper
ing between the rulers. Then No. got
up, and said that time was precious with
him, and that the children might 60 home
and tell their parents that school would
commence the next Mon ay morning, to
continue three months and a half so ended
the meeting And | went home filed with
enthusiasm at the noble conduct Of our of.
ficers, in calling us there, to consult oul
wishes, and then speaking only in whispers
that we helrd not one word of how they
arranged the business, until school was
announced for Monday the. l7th.nst. Now
it was very evident that they had hired this
same teacher, that has been teaching for
five or six months already, and was moi
able to govern the school; but would sit
with his boots elevated on the table and
permit the scholars to follow their own in
clnations, until they became SO boisterous
that the directors went and turned five OF
the largest of the boys from school for the
peace of the neighborhood. And still these
same men employed him instead of getting
another. Oh Jehosaphat; but we need an
election to put in directors that know some-
thing. From your friend and Brother Fra.
ternally, r. E. PORTER.
