Cause Of the Slave Troubles.

Internationally, this discomfort snsng
ne sla res is the result Of the late section
81 contest. They were not ignorant Of
the character Of the late coavass. Excited
BY the ineendary operations of the Black
Republican party, smboldened BY a.sur,
sncss of sympathy, and promises of suecor
from the North, and stimulated, no doubt,
By the secret suggestions of miscreants in
our midst, they grew impatient of their sab.
lection, and eager for revslt Richmond
Enqgirr.
There is an Inconsistency in the above
which is supremely ridiculous. That the
Republican party is responsible fer the dis
coHtent among the slaves of the South is
rather arrange when We consider that the
principles of that party, could not have a
hearing in any of the Slave States. Our
orators would, indeed have to speak inithan-
d'r toass'to be heard iswsy down in Tenn.
ss'ss, Lousiana and Mississippi. We would
that il were go. for we know that the North
stands aloof from all blame and that If hssrd
in the South. the cause !of truth would tri.

be any more likely TO be excited by pre-.
claiming our principles than by the suttiE .

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.-A letter from
u friend at Shanghai informs US that the

rived at " oosung on the 18th of SePtem-
ber, in six days from Simoda, Japan. She
lef. Hong Kong on the 18th Of August for

United States Consul General to Japan
During her "Trip she rescued quite number
Of Chinese from fragments OF wrecks. In
one case, no less than ffty-ive persons
were tlken iromsa Government junk while
she was in sinking condition. The San
Jacinto had very pleasant visit to Japan,
and the Intercourse between the commo-
dore, his officers and the Japanese author-
ties was OF the most friendly character
1t is said, however, TO be the policy of the
japanese Government 10 oppose with every
sbstscle in its power foreign intercourse,
and the arrival of the San Jacinto, with Mr..
Harris on board, was not desired. In an
interview with the commodore, the question
was asked if he could not take Nf. Harris
back again. The reply was that his orders
were to bring Mr.. Harris there and leave
him, and he should obey them. Finding
the. commodore thus decided, the authorities
Immediately set about TO prepare residence
for the Consul General, and Tor that purpose
fitted up one of their temples, near by which
a flagstaff was erected, from which. as the
San JaeiHio left the harbvr, the stars and
