FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 16, 1860.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 16, 1860.
Dear Progress 1T is strange to see the muta-
bility of human feelings. Before the publication
of that private letter which Seward held over
Greeley's head as a reminder of past events, the
general feeling here was one of sympathy for Sc
ward and disgust at Greeley's course But now
the letter is before the public and the tide of feel
ing is entirely changed, disgust at the migrate
fulness of Seward'n now regns predominant and
people seem to feel glad that Greeley has buried
VIM. r. in political grave from which there is
no resurrection for him. That letter shows him
as he really is a selfish greedy, ntrigue1ng Office
seeker, with principles honor about him,
who would step to an office over the corpse of the
dearest friend he ever had.
The predominant Selling here, now, is the hope
of the nomination of Douglas for once. as the
state of affairs is here at present. the Little G
aut'' would make his mark in the forehead of Abe
Lincoln in New York There is no doubt but
that the Republicans of New York are disgusted
with the Illinois rail splitter and since Seward
has lost their sympathy they do not feel much
like voting for Lincoln, while the Democracy of
New York are all alive and ready to accept the
nomination of Douglas with open arms

Japanese Embassy i'm New York.

The Embassy left Philadelphia the 10Th for
New York, the great center of excitement and
curiosity and though everybody seems disgust
ed with newspapers for having said much
about the Japanese and the sensation that follows
them wherever they go, yet they are the cause OF
,commotion, Just now, and people will read about
such things with the same eagernerness that they
will rush upon the streets to them, will
be pardoned for giving a short extract, descrip-
of their reception at New York which is fol-
lows.
At half past two o'clock the first gun from the
Rattery announced the appearance of the Aida,
in which vessel the distinguished guests were,
and the vessel soon after steamed into the harbor
At this time the appearance all round the Battery,
Castle Garden and other places was most eniven-
ing Crowds were assembled in Castle Garden
and other places and she came opposite the
latter place the strains of music and the firing
of salutes from the Battery and the Revenue cut
ter Mcclellan, together with the music on the Bat
terry created quite sensation. About quarter
to lree the vessel was moored to the dock, and
immediatel Y after the special guard OF honor (oth
rcgiment) marched up The veterans of 76 kept
guard the Princes and presented swords
whenever their Excellencies passed IN or out OF
the cabin.
The military now formed into line and present
ed a magnificent spectacle. There were 7,Ol4 men
in line. The scene the procession passed over
the route, truly grand and imposing: and the
enthusiasm unbounded
New YORK, June 16 P. M.-The Japanese
Emhassys reception here to-day was an immense
affair They were received by the New York
committee at Amboy The crowd that thronged
Broadway was probably from two to three hun
dred thousand. Cheers were given along the
tire route No unpleasant incident occurred, and
the Japanese appear to be delighted with their re-
.cepton and the quarters provided for them at the
Metropolitan. The Hotel is illuminated tonight
with three thousand venetien lights, covering the
entire fronts on Broadway and Prince street. On
being showed to their quarters they were aston
ished with their sumptuous appearance: The
decorations include the Japanese coat of arms,
and many characters, embodying japanese say
ings.
They were serenaded this evening by band
of one hunderd performers.
One of their artists this evening took view of
the hotel with its brilliant illuminations, and the
military gathered on Broadway.

The experiments thus far with the camels in
troduced in Texas, and other parts of the South
may be said to be successful At first it was sup
posed they could only be useful in traversing the
great deserts and plains in the interior of the
tinent, where there is Deficiency of water
They could cross desert of a hundred miles
without stopping; This of itself would be &C
complishng much. But it now appears that this
useful animal has been introduced on plantations
with advantage, having double the strength of
the mule horse. Whether hitched to plough
or wagon, he does equally well, and carry
on his back much grain conveniently

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR

From the energy and enterprise and industry
that mark the progress of those having the mat
ter in charge, we may confidently look for an ex-
hibition at our Fair in the ensuing fall, that will
be cheering to the public heart, and inspire our
agricultural and mechanical operators with zeal
in the cause.
The Fair Ground contains about twenty one
acres, is situated immediatly on the VIII & Wei
don Rail Road, and just without the limits of the
towD
The main building for exhibiting articles of all
kinds is in the form of cross, each wing 80 feet
wide by so feet in length, each wing in the cen
tire meeting in room 80 feet square, which is
two stories in height, containing on the second
floor ladies' room and Offices for the committees.
The trotting course is one-third of mile in cir
cumfrence. and the grounds enclosed with a
high fence, on two sides of which are stalls for
the live stock.
1t is proposed to hold the Exhibition the week
after the Raleigh Fair.
The premiums will be as large or larger than
those heretofore offered by any Agricultural Fair
in this State, and every effort will be made to en-
sure justice to all exhibitors.
We learn that the Fair building has been prof.
fered to the Committee of Arrangements, to be
used in the celebration of the 4th of July
next-Goldsboro' Tribune.
