Important from Japan---Assassl'

emit Government.
By the overland mail, whish arrived q,
Springfield, No., on Monday, we have news
from japan to April Esd, announcing the
assassination, on the 26th of March, of Primes
Goitairo, who was at the head of the present
Japanese Government. This is very important
news At this time, inasmuch as the Embassy
sent hither by that Prince are now in thia
country, and, if they should be informed o.
the report, 1t might make q considerabl.
difference in their programme for the future
It 10 said that the official Commission in
charge Of the Embassy will not make tn.
news known to them, for prudential reasons
The account says the deceased Prince va,
geing from his house to the palace, with bis
train, when he was attacked by fourteen
Japanese, dressed as travellers. His retinue
had six killed and several wounded, and one
of the assassins, who WAS wounded and could
not escape, had bis head cut of by his
comrades, and carried of, to prevent thei,
being known. Two of the assassins were
persons of high rank, and had the privilege
of cutting open their own abdomens with .
sword, thereby preventing their property
being con6scated, and saving their families
from the disgrace which would entail on them
had they been beheaded. Thirty people were
beheaded on the lst of April, having been
implicated in the affair.
Since the death of the old Tycoon, under
whose reign our treaty was made, there has
been an entire change in the government, the
present dynasty being opposed to foreign
intercourse, throwing every obstacle in the
way, to interrupt trade and commerce, that
they possibly can without violating the treaty.
The opposition, at the head of which is Prince
Aeto, is reported as being as strong As the
present government, and an instruction Is
momentarily expected. It would seem from
this that the success Of the present dynasty
will imperil the treaty that has been made,
and to ratify which the Ambassadors arc now
in this country. ~...-
A dispatch from Philadelphia, of the 18th,
says tho best informed among the japanese
admit the possibility Of an instruction in
their country, but dis5elieve the report of the
Tycoon's assassination. Prince Meto, spoken
Of IS leading the insurgents, is of the highest
rank and greatest power in the Empire, and
his habitual attitude towards the Government
justiaes the suspicion that he has attempted
the alleged revolt. The intelligence is by no
means wholly discredited, but it has produced

Rev. Jacob s. Harden on the
Snoff0T.d

The Editor of the Police Gazette, New
Yord, was present at the Execution of
Harden. We copy the following graph
ic description of the closing scene of the
doomed man, from his paper.
After the moose had been properly
adjusted, Hardenileft the cell, and walk
ed by the side of the Sheriff up the steps
of the gallows He was calm and COM
posed, and was dressed in the clothes
he wore during his con6nement-an old
shabby blue dress coat, pair of black
cloth pants and patent leather shoes
All knelt, the spectators removed their
hats; and Harden. dropping upon one
knee, his face turned upwards, uttered
in low murmur an ejaculatory prayer,
beseeching God to forgive him and to
be with him, and calling upon Jesus
Christ to save him in Heaven. The
silence which prevailed was painfully in
tense, and the condemned mans choked
and hurried murmurs could be indis-
tinctly heard in the remotest corner of
the yard. This prayer occupied but
two or three moments, and then rising
Harden stood facing the Seeriff upon the
fatal drop, and the moose was uncoiled
from his neck and attached to the iron
hook pendant from the rope connecting
with the pully. Standing in .he centre
OF the drop, he gave directions to the
Sheriff, that upon preconcerted signal
the rope should be cut; and then, turn
ing half round. he shook hands with his
weeping friends, and calling each one by
name, said, very distinctly. but in low
tones, "Goop-bye !" A black glazed
cap was then drawn over his face, the
handkerchief with which the signal was
to be given was placed in his right hand
and the knot adjusted under his left ear
Thus pinioned and masked, he stood
perfectly erect, and without the slight
est perceptible tremor, said Good bye'
to the Sheriff, and added, Il thankl you
tor the many kindnesses you have shown
me, my friend" The Sheriff then de-
scended the steps of the scaffold and
took his station by the pulley, and for a
moment there was an agonizing pause
Harden stood unllinchingly erect, nut
terlng, "God have mercy on me, Lord
Jesus save me in Heavenl" Then, for
an instant-and what an instant that
must have been3-he looked firmly and
silently into the dark face of death.
standing alone upon the shore of that
wide ocean of eternity, beneath whose
waves he was so soon TO sink. The
white handkerchief futtered, like a
wounded bird, to the ground, the drop
fell with a dull thud, the spectators re
colled and closed their eyes, as from the
effect Of heavy blow, and the unfortu-
nate man hung suspended BY the neck,
IN the clear sunlight, between earth and
heaven. For moment he hung per-
fcctly still, with limbs separated and ex-
tended, then drew himself up with a
strong contraction of the muscles, his
pinioned hands stroye to reach the cord
which was choking out his life, his limbs
were slowly bent, and as slowly relaxed
seven or eighty times: his body swaved
backwards and forewards, and without
moan or single murmnr, his spirit pas
sed to God, who gave it.
