IMPORTANT FROM JAPhN-Sir British Off,
GERS Killed and Thirty WoShded.-We find
the following paragraph in a recent number
Of the North China Herald, which states that
Il comes from the best authority;
N~AeAsAKr, Saturday, Feb. %, 1861.
Rumors have reached this from Kanagawa,
TO the following effect: That on q certain
day, very lately, about ten men, followers Of
the late Prince Of Meto, (who is avowedly
hostile TO Europeans went on board q man
of.war riding at anchor at Yokohama, end
answering to the description Of H. NJ. 8.
Pioneer; they were disguised as merchants,
and expressed a desire to be shown through
the vessel. This the Captain readily agreed
to do, when the blackguards drew their
swords, which had hitherto been concealed
under their long dresses, and in an incredibly
short space Of time, killed six and wounded
about thirty of the officers and crew.
The attack was so unexpected, and the
people on board so unprepared and terrified,
that the murderers escaped, although the
vessel opened FIRE on them as soon as posi-
BILE, as did also the japanese batteries; the
latter with round shot. / place implicit be-
lief in this part of the report. Another re-
Meto's people have ONE down here to estab-
lish a branch of their business, but I believe
that there is no foundation for it. OF course
we are taking every pr~ecaution, and l GER
tainly think il advisable for anybody walk
ing out at night to be well upon his guard,
and to have his eyes open.

The Importance Of AEgresAiye Warfare
by the Southern Rebels.

A Richmond (Va.) Journal thus speaks:
Attack is easier than defense. II is 4 uni
versal law in physics and in morals. Impetus
is stronger than Uis i1srtie; motion is mas
ter of weight. Nations can defend them
selves when they Gre strong and determined;
but the same strength and determination
will achieve greater results in aggressive
than in defensive war. Virginia has Thought
proper TO choose the latter for her policy;
but we hope the Southern Confederacy, to
some extent at least, will adopt the former.
A small army of four or FIVE thousand
rifemen, with some troops Of horse, and a
battery Of riled field pieces, under a daring
and original leader, would do more to bring
the North to its senses by penetrating the
heart Of their country, or, indeed BY enter
ing its territory anywhere, b nhve hun
dred thousand encamped here at home.
So long as the North has only to send off
its dangerous classes" that is TO say, the
refuse Of its bar-rooms and its jails, to pillage
and murder on Southern soil, instead Of in
their streets; so long es il has no fear of re-
t~aliation Of the same kind in their own
homes; or even of the common hardships of
a war Waged by c~ontending armies on their
own harvest fields, and of troops CHARTERED
in their own towns-they will be content 10
let the war drag on its weary length for a
long time.
Bat a Decentralization Of some ship loads Of
ready men among the coward population Of
New England, or the entrance into Ohio o.
a little column Of fifteen hundred, like thai
with which Garibaldi maneuvred all ovel
the North Of Lombardy, in the presence o
an Austrian army Of two hundred and hftJ
thousand, would work a Wondrous chang
in Yankee sentiment.

American sunday.schoo, U,,op

1t appears by the last Annual Report Of
the American S~unday-school Union, made
at Philadelphia, for the year ending March
l, 1861, that the Society has employed
sixty Missionaries in the different States and
Territories of the Union, besides whom they
have received the assistance of more than
nine thousand voluntary teachers. One
thousand four hundred and sixty-three new
schools have been formed, containing nearly
sixty thousand children. The Society desire
10 reach at least four million children and
youth, and TO establish one thousand
libraries, of one hundred volumes each, at a
cost not eTeeeding$1O. They conclude with
the following;
"What the future Of orr country is TO be,
He only knows, in whose hand are the
hearts Of all men; but that American Christ
isus have a work TO do for American
children, and that the American Sunday
school Union is a fitting instrument 10 DO il,
is the ground Of our appeal 10 its friends for
prompt ard liberal aid"

SAM AMONG the PropSets.

Colonel, late Major, Anderson, according
10 Geographic reports, stated in his speech
At Philadelphia, yesterday, that he was to
be Joined, on his arrival, by Hon. John @.
Breckenridge, who was to serve under him
in the army of the Union. We have been
trying to think what it would be proper to
say on this occasion, but without avail.
Words are inadequate. We assume the re-
port TO be true. Colonel Breckenridge is ex-
.pected in the city this morning. Nobody
has a better right to fight for the Union-if
he wants to. The Disunion leader may
mako an excellent Union soldier; and we
wish him no worse luck than that he may
capture JEFF. Davis, and make an example
of him,

The ABsURDITY OF 'INvADING SOUTHERN
SoIL."-We hear, says the ST. Louis Demo-
crat, very justly, a great amount of clamorous
indignation from the Southern press and
people about the troops in the service of the
General Government being about to "invade
Southern SOIL" This is all idle CANNON.
The forces of the General Government can
not 'iEVAde" q State. They have a perfect
right to 60 and come everywhere, on every
foot Of soil covered by the jurisdiction of the
Federal Union. The General Governments
not an alien nor an intruder as to the States.
Its sway extends over them all alike, and its
laws, officers and armies are at home every
where throughout the common domain. If
it were not so, there would be no nation and
no National Government.
1t is just as absurd TO talk of the Govern.
ment troops Invading the South as to
talk of British troops "~invading' Liverpool,
or the French army Invading Languedoc,
or the militia of the State of Missouri
Invading st. Louis County. This stupid
idea of the just and lawful government Of the
country committing an ~'inVasion" whenever
it sets on foot a movement to execute its
laws, could have its birth nowhere but in
the maggoty and seditious brain of a Sc.
cessiOnist.

bNOuuS VI tut btuFh u Lut NHNiOuOl
Ancestor.
The dispatches state that John G. Wash
ington, no made so handsome a speculation
out of the bones of his relative, the Father
of his Country" has removed, or is about to
remove, the bones aforesaid to some other
place of deposit--he having seeded, and
Joined the Southern army. AS the Secession
style is 10 take time by the forelock, when
there is any 'conyeying'-as the wise call
ito be done, the probability is that the job
is already accomplished.
This is about the neatest transaction of the
times. Hereafter, the boosted Yankee acute
ress in doing a bargain will be nowhere, in
comparison with the mingled sharpness and
assurance of the Old Dominion; and if Mr..
John C., Washington, of the Confederate
army, does not obtain the reputation of the
first confidence men of the age, it viii be
because modest merit goes unrewarded.
Il would seem as if Captain, or Colonel, or
Geueral-as the case may be-WashiugtCn
must have contemplated this feat when he
~hargeined away, at such a splendid profit,
The land of the estate; for he took care to
reserve an acre upon which the tomb was
situated. This reduces the transaction from
a theft to a swindle; and, in that aspect, is
sn improvement upon the generality Of Sc
cession performances.
We confess that We rather like this. We
have little respect for bones, whoever in the
flesh may have been the proprietor; and
Captain, Colonel, or General-as the case
nay be- Washington will get no thunders
and ligbtnings Of S~irtuous Indignation at
this establishment, 10 Offset the two or three
hundred thousand dollars he did the Mount
Yornonites out Of so genteely. As he drew
in the North by the first operation, we COM
mend him 10 try a second on the South
though, to tell the truth, we suspect it would
be not a little like an essay TO get blood from
a turnip. Ifbe could make an arrangement
with MI. Everett to repeat his Grafton a few
times while the hat was passing round, per.
haps the Diggers who have not exhausted
their finances On the Confederate Loan would
throw in something, and another great ma
tiOnal patriotic piece of tomfoolery would be
InauRurated
This, to our mind, is the most appropriate
possible finale to the Ridiculous namby-
PANTY, sickly-sentimental farce of bone
worship, that we have been playing for the
last four or FIVE years. With a body Of
shallow, ambitious, managing women at the
head, and poor old Edward Everett at the
tail-the whole thing perhaps moving at the
secret i~nstigation of this same John @,
Weshington-the country has been taxed
and bored upon the text of these Sacred
remains" until tits a positive relief to think
that the thing is up, and the remains remain
no longer.

The MISTAKE OF THE REBELS FROM A
SOUTHERN POINT OF YIEw.-The London
Herald of the LIST observes:
The smoke of the bombardment is grad
ually clearing away from Fort Sumter, and
we begin TO define the position of the bel
l~igerents. The news of the attack and sur
render of that stronghold surprised all par
ties in the North, and it was only after sue
cessive dispatches corroborating the intelli-
gence that the citizens of the free States
accepted its downfall rs a fact. The press
of the country unanimously regarded the
whole affair as q farce, worthy to rauk with
such Yankee inventions as wooden nutmegs,
maple cheeses, Mississippi Bonds, and SINH
lar motions" The conflict was so unlike
any thing heard of hitherto that no other
explanation seemed possible than that the
rival Governments had agreed, sub rosa, to
save appearances, General Beauregard and
Major Anderson firing upon each other with
blank cartridge, AND the latter making q
harmless bonfire in the fort as a finale.
The truth, however, is gradually coming
to light, and we are compelled to admit, in
spite of first appearances, that both of the
c~Ontending parties were in sober ear
hestress. From the remarks of those
journals which are supposed to be in the
confidence Of the Government, we are led to
inter the South has been Unanswered into
the commission of a g~rieYous error, the
time expended in investing and taking
the fort, periling, if it does not render i'm
possible, the success of disuuion. Mr..
Jefferson Davis and tho authorities of Mont
gomery have grasped at q shadow, and in so
doing they have lost, maybe forever, the
opportunity Of an almost certain and an
easy victory.

The SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY IN FAVOR OF
DIsUEIoE FROM THE FIRsT.-An Eastern
journal says:
The Southern politicians imposed them
selves and their terms upon the Democratic
party as long as they could. They grew
with ach four years more greedy in their
demands, and when at last their own ia
grant misconduct at Charleston and Balti.
more last year forced that potent organize
ton to declare themselves independent Of
them, they betook themselves to disanion.
There is little doubt that this motive has
been with them since first Calhoun took a
leading part in their cOunsels, aud probably
even before his time. In fact, during the
last dozen years they have not concealed it,
and il is notorious that they achieved the
election Of both Pierce and Buchanan solely
by working upon the love of the American
people for the Union, which, as they as
serted, would be endangered by the election
of the opposing candidates. The nation
bore their misrule and their threats only
because 1t wished to coneiliate these men,
who were already traitors In their hearts.

Great Outrage In VirgiRia-SeveraI Hun.
dred Northern Hen Imprisoned By the
secessiOBists
A telegram to the New York Times, from
Washington, dated the 18th, says:
An event has recently transpired in Vir.
ginie which ought to be known throughout
the entire length and breadth of New
England. Mr.. Spear, a native of Maine, has
been engaged for many years in the lumber
business in the Old Dominion, aud has EN-.
ployed for this purpose several hundred
hands constantly. He owned several thou,
sand acres on the seaboard there, and has
several large saw mills, which are in con-
slant operation. Recently he left on a short
visit to his native State, and when he
returned he found that his entire force had
been seized by the Virginia authorities and
put in prison. The condition of their re-
lease was an enlistment in the army of the
Confederate States of America, otherwise
they would remain in durance vile. Several,
under this threat, enlisted, but the majority
remain confined and are treated with the
greatest ignominy.
Mr.. Spear repaired at once to New York,
and obtained an interview with General
Wool. He also had two interviews with the
Vice President. The General advised him
to go at once to Washington, and provided
him with the strongest letters to the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Cameron. He is
here now. The Cabinet listen, think it a
very hard case, but have done nothing. Mr..
Spear has told them thatif they will provide
steamers, he will agree to attempt the re-
covery of his men-over an hundred-by
force, if necessary. The Cabinet are APP
parently in a fog about it. 1t would seem
as though they were afraid of offending Vir-
ginis. Virginia is not troubled with any
such scruples toward the Federal Govern
ment.
