Largest City in the World.

A very erroneous idea is INDUCED in By
many people in relation to the lcrgest city
in the world; many confidently assert that
london, or, as /. is frequently termed, the
Great Metropolis, is far superior both in
size and number of inhabitants. Jed1o,
the capital ofJapan, is without exception
the largest and most populous city in the
world. It contains |, 500, ,03O dwellings,, md
5000, 600 of human souls. Many of the
streets are nineteen JApanescries in length,
which is equiv sisssElo. twenty two English
miles.
The commerce of Jeido far exceeds that
of any other city. in the world. and the sea
along the coast is constantly white with the
sails ofships. Their vessels sail to the
southern portion OF the empire, where they
are laden with tea, rice, seaccal. tobacco,
cotton, silk, and tropical fruits all ofwhiSA
can find ready msrket in the North; and,
then. return freigllted with corn, salt, oil
isingnss and various other productions of
the North, which have a market in the
South. ar riu

speech by Hon. D. $. Dickinson

A rousing war meeting was recently held
in Binghampton. The Hon. Daniel S. Dick
inson was one of the principal speakers. He
declared that the rebels had been treated too
tenderly, and rejoiced that actual war was now
TO be made upon them. He said he was not
only for speedily and totally wiping out the
rebellion, but the cause of it, so we would
never have another. He was also in favor
of confscating all the property of the rebels,
" real, personal, and mixed" He said he
would confscate their quadrupeds and their
bipeds-their men servants and their maid
servants, their oxen, their horses, their asses,
and all that is theirs.
He said he hoped and believed the govern
ment would employ every means consistent
with the rules of civilized warfare to crush
out the rebellion and punish the rebels.
He declared the rebel government to be
composed of drunken politicians, thieves, and
robbers, and denounced England in the Sc
verest terms for sympathizing with it. He ap-
pealed to every man to enlist in the Union
armies who possibly could, and help to sustain
the Government. He said the President was
entitled to great credit for what he had done,
and that the administration was entitled to
the support of every loyal citizen in the land.
He was applauded and cheered most vehe-
mently throughout.

SIR:-Your communication of yesterday,
dated from Headquarters Indian Expedition,
Camp on Wolf Greek, under flag of truce
per Doc. Fitzpatrick, has been duly received,
and in reply have to state that q treaty of al
lance, under the sanction and authority of the
whole Cherokee people, was entered into on
the 18th day of October, 1861, between the Con-
federate States and the Cherokee Nation, and
published before the world. And you cannot
be too well informed on the subject to make it
necessary for me to recapitulate the reasons
and circumstances under which it was DONE
Thus the destiny of the people became identi-
fed with that of the Southern Confederscy.
There is no nation of Indians, venture to
say, that has ever been more scrupulous in the
faithful observance of their treaty obligations
than the Cherokees.
Allow me to further appeal to the history of
my long public and private life, to sustain the
assertion that my policy has ever been to pre-
serve peace and good feeling among my peo-
pie, rnd the observance of law and order.
That the horrors of civil war with which
this beautiful country is threatened, is greatly
TO be DEPRECATED and ! trust that it may be
sverted by the observance of the strict princi-
Piles of civilized and honorable warfare by the
