LARGEST CITY IN THE WoaLD.-A very
erroneous idea is INDUCED in by many peo-
pie in relation to the largest city in the
world; many confidently assert that London.
or, it is frequently termed, the Great Me-
tropols, is far superior both in size and the
mum Der ofits inhabitants. But such is n OF
the case. Jeddo the capital of Japan. is.
without exception, the largest and most
popuIous city in the world.
1t contains the vast number of l 500 900
dwellings, and 600 600 of human souls.
Many of the streets are nineteen Japanese
ries in length, which is equivalent to twenty
two English miles
The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that
of any other city in the world and the sea
along tie coast is constantly white with tn e
sails of ships. Their vessels sail to the
Southern portion of the empire, where they
are laden with rice. tea. sea-coal, tobacco,
silk, cotton and tropical fruits all of which
can find ready market in the north; and then
return freighted with corn, salt, oil isinglass
and various other productions Ct the North
which have a market in the South.

INTERESTING FROM New MEx1co-The jackson
M.ssisslpplan, OF the 18th inst, says

IMPORTANT TO DISCHARGED VoLUNTEERs-Th fol-
lowing Information is published in answer to numerous
enquiries addressed to US. The Convention undertook
to discharge all North Carolina Volunteers 35
years DID, not transferred to the Confederate Govern
ept These discharged volunteers, then, are not only
not entitled to the Confederate bounty, but required
to refund the State bounty, if it has been received they
are entitled to no pay for the time they have been in
service nothing for clothing but they entitled to
transportation home.-State Journal.
We presume the State Journal states the ordinance
correctly and we think it is very low piece of bust
ness on the part of the Convention to deprive the men
from their pay and clothing we'll as compelling them
to refund to the State the bounty of fifty dollars is
very mean subterfuge to save few dollars TO the
public treasury.
