the ladies in court dresses and trains. The
Chief of the Embassy, after having made
profound obeisance to their Majestes, de.
vered the following address in Japanese,
which was repeated in French by one Of the
Interpreters.
SIRE-Accoring to the orders Of His Ma
Jesty the Tycoon, we have the honor of pre-.
senting ourselves this day at the audience of
Your Majesty
Since the conclusion of the treaty be-
tween France and Japan relations tend to
develop themselves more and more between
those two countries; our Sovereign has con-
sequenty charged us to deliver personal
letter to your Majesty, and to express to you
at the same time, the sincerity Of his devot-
edness and his desire to see the treaty main.
tanned
Our Sovereign has ordered us to respect
fully make known to your Majesty that he
attaches great value to the fact that, by your
Imperial kindness, the Embassy sent to Eu
rope is TO be conveyed back to Japan on a
French vessel of war.
The Emperor replied in the following
terms
| am happy to see for the first time in
France the representatives of the Eml error
of Japan
The treaty which we have entered into
together, WILL hope lead to favorable re.
suits for the two countries.
| doubt not that your residence in France
will give YOU a just idea of the grandeur of
our nation; the reception which you will here
meet with, and the freedom which you will
enjoy, will convince you that hospitality is
one of the first virtues of a civilized nation.
| will willingly have you conveyed back
to your country 10y vessel of war, and you
will carry back with the remembrance of
your voyage to Europe The assurance Of my
desire to keep up the most friendly relations
with Japan.
The Embassy then retired, and was con,
veyed back with the same ceremonial to the
Hotel du Louvre. The members of the EN-
bassy wore costumes Of the richest kind,
and their arms were magnificent. The valu-
able presents for their Majesiies, which had
been sent pia Suez, had not yet arrived at

The Python at the London Geological Gar
dens-- Failure Of Incubation,

The eggs of the great Python. in the Lon
don Zoologra Gardens, have been taken
from under her, il appearing that no Young
serpents would be hatch.d AS we before
stated. this is not on account of the original
want Of vitality in the eygs because one of
them was opened at an early period of
the incubation, and found lc contain a Young
snake. 1t is to be attributed to weak com
pliances Of Tie officers. with the T. quests of
persons who wanted to see the python and
her eggs out OF curiosity. TO crafty tbs
she was many times disturbed, and the ban
ket with which she was covered was often
removed. When she east her skin she was
long time absent from her eggs, and they
became cold. 1t finally became apparent
that no young would ever be produced alive
from them, and they have been taken from
her. 1t was full time, for the serpent had
been much emaciated, having lost third
OF her weight She had been thirty two
weeks without food. When it was at last
attempted to remove her eggs, she became
very fierce and showed fight. Thus this in
teresling case has failed through the indul-
eence showed to the idle curiosity of visitors.
and it almost reminds us of the impatience
of the fellow who killed the goose to get
the golden eggs. The folly of the officers
was amazing. What ancient and agrcolous
lady, having goose sitting, would lift her
off, or have her driven off, to show idle and
trihng people the eggs? Would she not
rather seize the broomstick, and proceed to
the forcible expulsion of he curious, from
that part of the premises devoted to the
incubation of the parent goose! Nay! have
we not seen the gander, with neck outl
stretched and eye Of sparkling rage, advance
against nlruders, and drive them from the
neighboring nest of bis sitting mate! The
officers of the society have been weaker
than the village old woman and more fool
sh than the gander Of the grassy commons
The consequence is, that the London papers
are now "hoping for another opportunity"
1t is great pity that the male python had
not the wakefulness and watchfulness of a
gander, and thus secured his great mate an
opportunity to hatch her eggs undisturbed.

The points Of chief interest to. .day-tbose

in calling great battles by such names. How
much more fit than "Bu!l Rum" "Ball's
Bluff" pea Ridge" and other epi,hets
which have been bestowed upon some of
those battle grounds where we have won and
lost some laurels. As mere matter
taste-if we may indulge in such seuti-
ment at such time-how much more noble
and grandly, sound such titles rs Yorktown

connections, will stir the blood of the sol

Desertion and Audacity Of two Federal
Officers

correspondent of the New York World
writes from Yorktown, April 25th, as fol.
lows:
You have doubtless been apprsed by tele
graph to day of the deserton of two field
officers of one of the New York regiments.
The story has been flying about since last
night and been conlradicted several times,
but after investigation am prepared to say
that it is in every particular but too true.
| have not learned the fullest details of
the affair, but it appears that yesterday fore'
noon Colonel Crocker and Major Cassidy,
Of the Ninety'thirl New York Regiment,
stationed in one of the divisions on the left
of the line, went forward to the outposts,
passed the line, when they were hailed 10y
the sentry and warned against going further
in that direction. The Colonel replied that
he knew what he was about, and the picket,
though knowing the danger, was so aston
ished at the operations of his own field
officers, that he refrained from shooting
them, or even ordering them back, as he
should have done They then proceeded
forward little further, when the Colonel
waved white handkerchief, and with his
companion walked rapidly forward to the
rebel works. They were received and con-
Quoted inside, and shortly terrific cheer
arose from the enemy, announcing the plea
sure with which they were greeted
To day they sent flag of truce for their
baggage!
This occurrence is not more noted tor III
base betrayal Of our cause and position thar
for the GOODNESS and unblushing assurance
with which it would seem the plot was car
ried out. Here we have two leading officers
of a regiment deliberately going over to
the enemy in broad daylight, and no one
knowing, not even suspec,ing their designs.
Crocker is a native of Virginia. Cassidy
know nothing Of except that, like Croker,
he is a blackhearted traitor. The reg iment
has been but a short time ont, but how many
accomplices and spies the ,iliians have left
behind there is no means of knowing. The
occurrence casts blight upon the regiment,
How these fellows concealed their real sen
timents SO well as to enable them to obtain
such prominent positions is a mystery to
many here. Lucky their amount of infor
nation relative to our position and move,
ments is So limited that their revelations
can not damage us much.

The Army Before Fredericksburg.

On the 2lst inst. Gen. Sumner made a
demand upon the civil authorities of Fred.
ericksburg, Va, for the surrender of that
city. If they refused to surrender he gave
them sixteen hours to remove old men, wo-
men and children and the sick, when be
would she'll the city.
AS the demand was made upon the civil
authorities, the Mayor sent an answer which
was evidently written at the dictation of
Gen. Longstreet, to the effect that the COM
plants enumerated should be removed so
far as firing on pickets and furnishing
supplies to the Confederate army was con-
cerned also that the rebels would dispute
the occupying of that city by Government
forces. He complained of the short space
of time allowed for the removal of the
women and children and sick soldiers.
TIE giving Of any more time as request
ed is now under consideration.
Permission has been given to run one
train from the city but only for the con-
veyance of women and children.
A Washington dispatch of the Oath says
there has been no bombardment Of Freder-
icksburg to-day, and nothing of interest
has occurred in the army. The impression
prevails that after all the city will be sur
rendered.

upon the Northern Division Kansas State Mill
tis, for five hundred men. This force is de-
signed especially for home protection, and will
not be taken out Of the State. The withdrawal
Of the Kansas troops from the State renders this
step necessary, menaced as we are by Missouri

Indians on the West. Companies raised for
this service will be stationed, as near the local.

We should like to see at least one company
from this part of the country. We are in need
OF company west of us, and hope to see a
part of this force a.ationed there, even if no
company is raised. The Indians lettering on
the stage road between this and Larneu, annoy
ing teansters, ought to be moved.

overtures to Russia in favor of the great
powers making move towards mediation
or recognition of the Confederates.
The Morning Herald learns that the pro-
posai of France for joint Intervention to

been laid before the Governments of Russia
and England, and agreed to by the former.
The Council of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce debated the matter of the steam.

British property, by armed cruisers under
the Confederate flag, and desiring to know
what is the opinion of the British Gov
