Children in Japan.

During more than half years residence
in Japan, | have never seen quarrel among
young or old. have never seen blow struck
scarcely an angry face. | have seen the
children at their sports, flying their kites on
the bills, and no amount of intertangled
strings, or kites lodged in the trees, provok-
ed angry words or impotence. | have
seen them intent on their games of jackstones
and marbles under the shaded gateways of
the temples, but have never seeen any ap-
proach to quarrel among them. They are
taught implicit obedience to their parents,
but have never seen one of them classified.
Respect and reverence for the aged is uni
versal. A crying child is rarity seldom
heard or seen. We have nothing to teach
them in this respect out of our abundant
civilization, l speak what know of the
little folks of Japan, for more than any other
foreigner have been among them. Of all

ruddy, brown faces with pleasure. l have
played battledore with the little maidens in
the streets, and flown kites with as happy q
set of boys as one could wish to see. They
have been my guides in my rambles, shown
me where all the streams and ponds were,
where the flowers lay hid in the thicket
where the berries were ripening on the hills;
they have brought me shells from the ocean
and blossoms from the field, presented them
with all the modesty and less bashful grace
than young American boy would do.
We have hunted the fox holes together, and
Looked for the green and golden ducks among

Explosion Of TOrpedOeS,
Correspondence of the New York Herald
BACHELORS CREEK, N. c.. Nav

Correspondence OF the New York Herald
BACHELORS CREEK, n c., Nav 27.
At O'Clock yesterday afternen, on the
arrival ofthe trains at this station from New
bern, terrible explosion attended the re-
moval Of four torpedoes from the cars to the
platform. Forty odd soldiers and negroes
were blown into eternity in an instant, while
between twenty and thirty persons, white
and black, were wounded and mangled in a
manner frightful to behold.
the train which left Newbern at o'clock in
the afternoon brought to the outposts the
remaining four of the thirteen torpedoes, Of
monstrous weight and proportions, intended
to complete the blockade of the Neuse river
in the direction of Kingston. The last of
the four was about reaching the station
platform when an accidental blow, from q
log of wood striking upon the cap, exploded
the torpedo. The conclusion was so great
that the other three followed on the explosion
of the first and so quick as to make one
mighty report, like the crash of pousand
pieces of artillery fired simultaneously.
The disaster was one of the most appalling
and heartrending that has occurred in this
country i'll a series of years. Soldiers whose
gallantry has been displayed or battle fields,
and whose egerness to hear from their brave
comrades in Virginia had brouht them clus-
tering around the station, were hurled,
maEged and torn, into eternity in a mo.
ments time. Heads, bodies and limbs were
scattered for a quarter of mile around, and
i'll many instances it was found impossible
to recognize the remains of the unfortunate
victims. The signal tower and commissary
building, twenty feet by eighty feet, built
of logs were thrown into the air distance
of eight hundred feet, and strewed the coun-
try for a great distance around with the
fragments.

The fines in Dixie.

The financial condition of affairs in Dixie
do not seem to be quite so favorable as was
expected there When the rebels repudiat-

Thought great stroke of policy and they
looked to see confidence restored, prices fall,
and their remaining currency to come up to
par in hurry. For few days there seemed
to he a stl eak of luck From some cause or
other-probably from little more plentiful
market than for a time flour did fall, from
somewhere up among the stars, to about
two hundred aud fifty dollars a barrel and
great was the rejoicing i'll Dixie thereat.

And yet at this time, when these doleful
pictures are drawn Lee was, according to
these accounts, winning victories every day
over Grant;a army If it was true, then,
what will it be with Grants army sitting
down before it, securing all suburban and
tributary fields, booking up its rivers, tear
ing up its railroads. soaring away all the
people who bring supplies to its market.and

lie is true, but who is to be blamed for it?
A correspondent of the same paper says
that it is no better at Atlanta. That place
is crowded with the people Of Northern Geor-
gia in the utmost distress; and the citizens
Of other parts of Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina are called upon to contribute
to their relief
We do not doubt at all these statements,
and anticipate no relief for the rebllious cit
les named and the territory adjacent to them
but rather an increase as the summer wears
On. Neither reputation nor fighting, nor
both together, will apparently relieve them.
