From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Consul General
Harris, writing from Yeddo to the secretary OF
state, says, that American affairs there are in
an unsatisfactory condition. The Japanese
evade the faithful observation of the most ini-
portant of the treaty stipulations or treat them
with passive resistance He is unwearied in
his efforts to convince the government of the
dangerous course it is pursuing, and until its
eyes are open to the perils it incurs by its
present course-no change for the better can
be hoped for.
The democrats sent to the Senate to-day,
mention of the fact that Lord Elgin has re-
quested the Japanese to send an ambassador
direct to England but they evaded the applca-
ton giving this country the preference. Or
ders were sent out by the secretary of the
navy to land the embassy to this country at
New York, but our consul general urged that
they be brought directly to Washington where
they will be entertained at the public expense

COPPER STocKs-Only two Of the innumer-
able copper mining companies that haunt the
Boston stock market have ever pretended to
pay dividends, namely, the Pittsburg and the
Minnesota. The Pittsburg gave out some.

gives notice that it will cease to pay regular
dividends In each case the dividend paying
career has been very brief, and probably quite
unwarranted by anything in the financial con-
dition Of either company. Be this as it may,
the Pittsburg company no longer pays any
thing, and the Minnesota directors have decid-
ed to postpone" paying. If these concerns are
hardly worth having, what should be thought
OF the many lean and hungry mining COM
panies which are about as likely to pay divi-
dends as gambling is to become an honest
business? The Boston stock market needs

have what it needs

FRIDAY, MARCH ea. 1850.
NATHAN APPLETON of Boston, has written

N.rHAN APPLETON of Boston, has written a
letter full of fatherly counses, to VIM. G.
Rives of Virginia, upon the present condition
of pubIc affairs Mr.. Rives, though a very
venerable and respectable gentleman, is in this
instance only a synonym, or rather locum
teaens of the public, for whose eyes and ears
the letter was really meant. 1t is very quiet
and deprecatory in its tone, and bears internal
evidence, that the boon and blessing for which
its author most devoutly prays is PEACE. Yet
it is heralded with great pomp and eclat by
one or two of the leading disturbers of the
peace in New England, and commended with
such noisy and loquacious approval, that the
superficial reader is liable to get an incorrect
and unjust impression of its real character and
merit The impulse which led him to break
the severe silence in which he and those in
Massachusetts, who think with him have ljng
wrapped the mselves is much better than that
which induces the Boston Courier to paradeit
before the public for the benefit of the demo-
cratic party.
There is kind of respect which attaches to
everything venerable, 1t may be vexatious for
ances as peculiarly their own, to be dealt out
to the multitude with such additions and re-
Elections as their cheap alteration may suggest
to them But if there is anything to the ora
cle its voice escapes from their trammels, and
speaks for itself in the end. But venerable as
it is in the present instance, it will not carry
conviction, except to willing minds, nor
strengthen the convictions where they are al.
ready formed Truth cannot be whistled down
the wind by calling it an abstraction, nor her
esy exalted into the place of respect by saying
it is essential to peace.
The position of Mr.. Appleton, and of those
who say that the present conflict of parties,
which has the appearance also of being a con-
fict of sections, is an unnecessary one, is radi-
caly wrong, because it assumes that there is
nothing in the existence of such an unnatural
institution as slavery, and in seepless efforts
to fortify it upon this continent, to alarm the
friends of free government anywhere. 1t as
sumes that slavery is a proper social and moral |
condition, that is, proper as against any efforts
to change it, and, in the fact of its existence, |
possesses the right to march step by step with
freedom, and to claim equal share in the
fruit and glory of its triumphs. When history
is written of the times in which we are living, |
the wonder of the historian will not be
that the conflict was so violent between the
hostile systems, but that there were so many
Appetons, and Everetts, and shadows of illus
trous men, who died in the attempt to per-
suade the age that the two systems were friends

MEMORY OF TIMOTHY BIGELow-In August.
IVA, company of minute men were enrolled under
the command of Capt Bigelow, and met each even
ing after the labors of the day. for drill and martial
exercise. Muskets procured for their
ing, from Boston. Their services were
quired for the defense of the country. AT eleven
O'Clock A. M, April 10, 1775, an express came to
town, shouting, he passed through the street at
full speed, ''To arms! to arms the war is begun'
The bell rang out the alarm, were fired, and
in short time the minute men paraded on the
green, under the command of Capt. Timothy Bige-
low After fervent prayer by Rev. Mr.. Maccarty
they took up the line of march. When they arrived
at Sudbury intelligence of the retreat of the enemy
met them, and the second company of minute men
from Worcester, under command of Capt. Benjamin
Flaqg overlook them, when both moved on to
Cambridge.
The writer cannot forbear to mention few of the
names of these soldiers of freedom. Most of them
have descendants now living and living on the same
farms that their ilustrous sres grand sires left
when they started with Captains Bigelow and Flagg
to repel the enemy at Lexington. Eli Chaplin was
the father of Mrs. Jonathan Flagg and Mrs Capt.
| Campbell: VIM Trowbridge the father of Mrs
| Deacon Lewis Chaplin Jonathan Stone grandfather
of Emory Stone, Esq, who now owns and occupies
the same estate: Asa Ward, grandfather of William
| Ward; Simon Gates, father of David r., who now
| lives on and own the same estate; David Richards
was in Capt Fagg's company, but after he returned
concluding there was going to be shot work." to
use his words forty years afterwards, he turned
over to the tories The organization of the army
was Immediately made at Cambridge, and Timothy
Bigelow was appointed Major in Colonel Jonathan
Wards regiment. In the autumn of 1775 Major
Bigelow volunteered his services with his from
Worcester, in that expedition against Quebec, alike
memorable for its boldness of conception the chiv-
alrous daring of its execution, and its melancholy
failure During their march from Cambridge to
Quebec Major Bigeow and his noble band endured
severe hardships reduced by hunger to the necessity
Of eating their camp dogs and in their last extrem
ity cutting their boots and shoes from their feet tO

wilderness been the exploit of Grecian phalanx OF
Roman legion, the narrative of suffering and danger
would have been long since celebrated in song and
story.

the forest by the route of the Kennebec was com
manded by Major Bigelow; and during days hall

killed and remained in captivity until the summer

Echo d'Italia of March II contains a remark.

translates
"From private letters coming to us from
Milan, dated February 17th, we learn that the
police of Milan have just discovered an afro
clous scheme, the object of which was to as.
sassinate Victor Emanuel on the occasion of
his entry into the capital of Lombardy One
OF the consprators, a certain Count Bramblla,
the same, who in 1849, distracted the golden
medals from the Gregorian Museum, was ar

documents and large sums of money destined
for the Pontifical court. Other conspirators,
all Austrians or priests, are in the hands OF the
police.
BY another correspondence we are assured
that the indefatgabe Farini has discovered a
vast conspiracy organized by various officials
at Verona, aided by the anti-Napoleon party of
France. The intercepted correspondence
shows that the conspirators intended to make
use of the dagger and of poison in carrying
out their schemes. One of the intended vic.
Tins was General Garibaldi; the courts of
Naples and Rome were ignorant of the con-
