field, Mo-, on Friday night, we learn that the
Japanese steam-corvette Candinamarrah arriV-
ed at San Francisco on the l4th of March, in
forty days. from Yeddo, sent by the Emperor
of Japan to announce that the Japanese EN-
bassy would leave Kanagawa by the United
States steamer Powhatan on the l1th of Feb
ruary. The officers and portion Of the crew
of the United States schooner Fenimore Coop
er, recently wrecked, were brought to San
Francisco by the Candinsmarrah, and at the
request of the Emperor, Lieut.. John N. Brooks,
U. S. n, volunteered to assist the japanese
officers in making the voyage. The excitement
relative to the Washoe mines continued, and
the emigration thither decreased none The
news from Washington and Oregon, British
Columbia, and the Sandwich Islands, is unim
portant.

BS- The steamer Niagara, which reached
Halifax early on Saturday morning, brings
three days later foreign intelligence, her dates
being to the Gath ult., from Liverpool, and
from Queenstown the day following. The
Sandman troops had commenced the evacua-
tion Of Savoy, and the French troops, return
ing from Lombardy, were expected to arrive
in that province on the 25th of March. Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, in their replies to France,
concerning the annexation, had declared in
substance that they had no right to interfere

was done in the Italian provinces jnst annex

RHODE IsLAND.-WILLlAMS SPRAGUE has been
elected Governor of Rhode Island by the
combined vote of the Americans. Democrats,
and " Conservatives" His majority over the
regular Republican nominee is about l5O0-
Mr.. SPRAGUE is the son of AMAsA SPRAcUE,
who was murdered fifteen years ago by cou-
pie of Irshmen, named Gordon. This circum
stance probably has made him the intense
American that he is. He is reputed to be i'm
mensely wealthy and wthal liberal. The dem
ocrats adopted him and gave him their sup
port for the purpose of defeating the Repub-
leans, in which they have been successful
Mr.. SPRAGUE's business relations gave him
great strength-every merchan! in Rhode Is
land probably buys and sells Spragues prints,
and many Of them, although Republicans,
voted for him because intimately acquainted
with him, and because he is a worthy mau.-
We have no doubt he will make an efficient

10 Some weeks ago there appeared in the
Buchanan organ al this place what purported
to be a letter from Harrisburg, grossly de-
flaming our Representatives. The Harrisburg
Telegraph noticing the letter, says" The
writer Of the letter in question took occasion
to laud to the skies Mr.. Jackson, of Sullivan,
and at the same time to grossly defame both
the Republican members from Bradford county.
We refer to the letter published in the Bradford
Herald, Locofoco paper published by the
Postmaster at Towanda, and which was read
in the House Of Representatives on Monday
afternoon. The reading of the letter created
considerable surprise and disgust among those
who were so well acquainted with the ge1tle-
men to whom reference was made.
While we have nothing to say against the
laudations heaped upon the radical locofoco
member from Sullivan, We do protest, most
solemnly, against the ISLANDERS heaped upon
Messrs SMEAD and KINNEY, the members re-
ferred to. The writer of this article has been
constantly on the floor of the House during
many sessions of the Legislature, and has not
missed single session of the House during
the past winter Except few days being con-
ined by sickness and is therefore able to
speak from the record, and be declares in all
sincerity, that Bradford county may be justly
proud Other Representatives, Messrs. SMEAD
and KINNEY both of them have taken active
part in the proceedings of the House during
the session just ended, and were highly res
pected by their fellow members They were
always able and ready, not only to take part
in debate, bat engaged in all the important
measures before the House They took par
ticularly active partin the passage Of the Tariff
resolutions, showing that the district
which they represent is not in power Of free
trade, as has been frequently asserted by the
LocofocoS. The resolutions relative to the
organization of Congress received also their
active support and the able report submitted
Oh the subject of the practical establishment
of the Slave trade, by Mr.. Kinney, speaks for
itself They were always sound on all political
subjects. We shall rejoice if their places are
so ably filed next session, and would be glad
to see the two term" principle, so extensive
ly adhered to in several counties, dispensed
with in this case. Messrs. Kinney and Smead
ore not only fully acquainted with all the busi-
ness of Legislation, but are we'll and able to
take the responsibility of action"

sixth year, of THOMAS BURGESS of Smithfeld while
laughing with kernel Of in his mouth accidentally
sucked it into his windpipe. This followed by Sc
we're paroxysm Of coughing which lasted few minutes
and nearly subsded. DR.. E. P. ALREN saw him few
hours after, and examination found that the kernel
had passed into the left bronchial tube and seemed fixed
in its position. There being but slight cough and
very great difficulty in respiration the Doctor thought
not best to interfere until more urgent symptoms

or four days. when high fever obliged him to take his

Dr. HOLMES Of Canton performed Tracheatomy in neat

impacted in the bronchial tube to that extent it could
not be removed. The wound in the windpipe was left
open with the expectation of suppuraton taking place

result took place the 18th inst followed by about one
half ounce of pus. The little fellow ia now decidedly

THE SUNDAY LAWS.

We publish on our outside, the Report Of
the Committee on Vice aud immortality, in the
State Senate on the subject of the repeal of
the Sunday laws. This report is the produc-
tion of Mr.. LANDoN, and is just such q paper
as might have been expected from him We
append the comments Of the Harrisburg TSle-
graph:
The Report is very candid argument of the
question upon its merits. Dyested of all clap
trap appeals to the prejudices of men, and en-
tirely free from Pharisaic dogmatsm, it is an
argument which commends itself to. the reader
by its simplicity and directness, not less than
by the skillful manner in which it approaches,
and deals with vexed question.
1t is very correctly stated, that the existing
laws prescribing the cessation of labor on
Sunday, do not Interfere with the private judg-
ment or peculiar opinions of any man. They
require no man to attend this church, or the
other, and dictate to no man in what his rest
and relaxation from business on that dav shall
consist The laws leave him free to attend
church, to sit in his own sanctuary at home, ITO
walk abroad, or to ride in his own, or hired
conveyance. So long as he respects the rights
and privileges Of his neighbors the law is to
him as though it were not.
The observance of one day in seven or re-
lief from the cares and anxieties, as from the
physical exaction5 Of Cay labor. one day IN
seven, seems to be we'll grounded in necessity.
The morality of the requirement is to plain to
be mistaken. We do not think it extra7agant
to say, that to labor three hundred and sixty
five consecutive days is to dcbauch the body
and dwarf the soul. Too much physical ex-
ertion, Ike mental overwork, results in disaster
in disease and premature death. The Mosaic
law, touching the Sabbath, acknowledged the
moral and physical necessity of its observance
very clearly, in its exception of the OF and the
ass from labor on that day. All past expert
enco proves, that more opportunity for rest
and relaxation than is afforded in the hours
ordinarily devoted to sleep, is absolutely re-
quired by tne working world; and since the law
NNSo ACV pLtSCLlDG tilc Hluuuet IN Wlcl THIS
rest and relaxation shall be enjoyed, any fur
ther than to provide against disturbance and
riot, we do not see how any broader license
can be asked for by the anti-church-goiug cIas-
ses.
The author of the report has earned, and
will receive, the commenCation of the best
friends of society for The able and impartial
manner in which the subject is discussed The
committee has faithfully performed its duty.
Freemen OF the Bradford district have cause to
congratulate themselves on their happy selec,
tion Of a gentleman to represent them in the
Senate, SO we'll qualified, and SO willing to dis
charge the duties of the position. Senator
LANDoN has not been guilty of the fault Of
too much speaking" certainly, during the
session. Ee has made himself reputation
for close attention to business, and is one of
those gentlemen who will rather be felt, than
beard, in whatever position he may be peaced
not Hithstandng bis superior qualities as a
speaker and debatcr.

A SENATOR CANED.-'The Senator from the
Bradford district, Mr.. Landon, was handsome
= caned in his private room at the Jones
House, yesterday afternoon, by one of his fel.
low Senators, Mr.. Ketcham, of Luzerne, in
presence of several mutual friends The last
named gentleman, in token OF his high appre-
citation of Mr.. Landon, as man and Sena-
tor, presented him With q magnificent. silver,
mounted ebony cane, accompanying the pre-
Sentation with a weltimed, chaste and eloquent
address, to which the recipient, taken entirely
by surprise, made an appropriate response
We can assure the constituents of Mr.. Landon
that the Gaming bestowed upon him by Mr..
Ketcham was richly merited We would not
object to similar treatment at the hands of
some appreciative friend.-HarrisbGrg Tsls-
