IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.

From The San Frdneisco Herald, aug u
most important move has been made by the Japan
ese Government as will be seen by the following letter
from the Hon. Townsend Harris, United States Minis
ter resident at Yedde, to Z. NJ. Dorr, esq., American
Consul at Kanagsws. Mr. Harris writes as follows;
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, Z
"YEDDo, May 80, 1860.
"SIR: have received communication from the
Japanese Government TO the effect that the SUBJECTS OF
non-treaty powers arriving at the opened ports IN
vessels of nations who have made treaties with Japan
;II no he allowed TO land or reside therein. In call
ING your attention TO the above have to desire that
Won notify the masters Of the American vessels not to
land those passengers who come under the above de-
scrpton. The latter will have to return without COM
ing on shore.
'' TOWNSEND HARRIS"
Mr.. Dor, American Consul at kanagawa, addressed e.
the following important and suggestive letter to D. r.
Washington, esq., Collector OF this Port which mas
Just been received. 49,, ,oeo
"DEAR SIR: Annexed please find copy OF as
match from Townsend Harris, Esq, American Minis
ter resident at Yeddo addressed to myself in reference
10 the coming, in American vessels, OF subjects
of non. treaty powers. l have thought It proper
to forward this to you. l take the liberty Of
suggesting, that as 1t Is gradually Demg neue
msnifegt that the communication between Amencs
and Europe vid San Francisco with Japan and emma,
will be the speediest well as the most efnclent
when properly established, it is important that
every vessel leaving your port for this pace
should be made the medium Of mail communication:
The public mind is now becoming deeply Interested
in anything connected with our great proposed ma
tional enterprise via the Overland Railroad from
and 10 the Pacific, that any incident, however slght
that tends 10 it's propulsion, will prove interesting III
ia becoming very evident that the trade between Japan
and California in The great staples Of this country,
viz tea silk raw and manufactured, oil, wax, cop.
per &C., will in no very heightened period, become OF
vast importance.

BURNING SLAVES.
demanded.

To Me Edao, Of The n. Y Tribune
SIR: I have Just been reading the speech Of Pro-
Slavery lawyer, made at St. Louis, at Barrett meet
ing held there previous to the late election In speak
ing of the "pecaliar institution" he said that the
slaves were well and kindly treated that they were
never overworked nor underfed and were beat OIL In
their present condition And he challenged any Abo-
clifton lat to show that slave had ever been burnedat
"the stake in the State of Missouri"
think, Sir, that can show, to the satisfaction OF
the gentleman that slave has been burned in the City
of ST. Louis, and that, too, within fifty rods OF the
spot where he stood when he made the challenger and
il must certainly be within bis recollection, as he IN
formed his audience in the OF bis speech tna ne
had lived in the City of St. Louis over thirty years.
The circumstance to which wish to call his atten-
ton is this: On the 28h of April 1896 slave by ehe
name of Joshua Mcintosh stabbed an officer who had
arrested him for some slight offense' Inc w9uhu
proved fatal and for short time the negro eiuced the
vigilance of his pursuers but was captured durng the
afternoon of the same day. mob soon collected, who
took him from the officers, fastened him TO tree IN
the middle of the city, piled wood around him. and IN
open day, and in presence OF an immense throng OF
citizens he was burned to death. lnclosed forward
YOU an article clipped from The Alton (Il) Telegraph
of April 80 1885, in which paper an account OF the
horrible sfsir appeared 1t says:
IAN silent death when the sIecutions were pns
that the flames had szed upon him He then uttered awful
iSE ss%s s fd By Ssh
flames had surrounded their prey his eyes burned Of his
head his mouth seemingly psrhed cinder some one In
th crowd than the rest proposed 10
end to bis misery by shooting him. when replied II
would be Of use since be already out pain No.
said the wretch am not suaehng much shoot
NE shoot No. said OF the hsnds who was stand
n about the sacrifice they roasting he shall not be shot
could sooner acken he you'd his misery
and who said this understand an ocer Of
justice"
Ten years ago was in ST. Louis, and was shown
several bones of this unfortunate negro, which was
preserved by a man who witnessed the burnng-he
at the time Of nv visit there, kept boarding-house
