TEN THOUSAND PERSONS "AcoDENTALLY
BuRRr ALIVE IN JAPAN.-In August last in ia
pan, not building with 1000 beings in it, but
whole city of 170, 900 souls, was suddenly burnt
to ashes in few hOurs-a city OF paper and
bombOO, covering many square miles, filed with
it's women and children, the sick and the infrm,
the blind, the halt, and the manned. It burned
like straw on many sides at once, reddening the
ocean for leagues with its flames. 1t was fired
without warning by bombshells, and red-ho, shot
rAiued inoessanty during two days into its midst.
In that vast conhagration It is morally certain
that not 1000 only, but at least Eve times, per-
haps ten or twenty times, 1000 helpless crea-
lures must have persisted. No brilliant pen has
painted for us the hidious incidents of their last
ngonies and the horrors of an Internal FIRE, be-
fore which that OF Chill burns but pale and fee
bly,. That death was dealt out to those innocent
beings in Japan by English saiors-puposely,
unsparingiy, and boastfuly-not in war, not in
necessity, not in self-presorvation, but in order
to strike terror into harmless people whom we
are bent upon forcing into trade.--Leiter in Lon.

The following is M extract from private let.
ter written by an officer of the gunboat Paul
Jones, Of the Charleston blockading squadron
It is dated February q -
have no doubt that the machine which blew
up the Housatonic was intended for us. We
were on the blockade Of Mafffs, Channel, which
is the one nearest in shore, and runs along the
shore o. Sullivan's Island We we're, therefore,
the nearest vessel towards the Rebels, and stood
the first chance Of their attention. But Captain
Duncan was in the practice Of changing, the po
siton Of the ship every night after dark, 80 that
in case the Rebels got our bearings by daylight
they could not And us at night
To this attribute the fact Of the Rebel tor
pedo not striking US instead Of the Housatonic,
which was next above u.s. The affair was ac-
oomplished in the most artistic manner so neat
ly that we did not know II was done at the time,
although it was bright moonlight The first we
know Of the disaster was the next morning, when
we discovered her lying with nothing but masts
and stroke stacks above water. We have re-
oeiVed orders to go on the blockade off George.

who commanded the late cavalry expedition,
arrived to-day. The cavalry force was 1000
strong, and the object was to clear the country
of struggling rebel forces, and IL possible to
make diversion in favor Of Sherman, and join
him.
A Memphis dispatch, of the 9th says that
the diary Of al officer attached to Gen. Grier-
sons column Of Smiths cavalry expedition fur
nishes but little of importance beyond what has
been already reported. Our loss in the attack
on the enemy at West Point was forty killed and
wounded We drove the rebels out, aud destroyed
number of cars and culverts, depot and sew
eral miles of track, and large amount Of corn
and cotton.
Iu the attack by Forrest oa our forces near
Okalona, the Third Tennessee Cavalry broke at
the first fire, running six OF seven of our small
guns into ditch, breaking their carriages aud
spiking and leaving the guns. In this fight our
loss was about l00 mostly in prisoners. Our
Total loss during the expedition was about 150.
This column burned about 5000 bales of conled-
crate cotton, over million bushels Of corn, and
captured over hundred prisoners, thousand
mules and negroes.
