= B Letter from Tuscumbia, Alabama, Bays:
Everything is remarkably quiet out here. The
negro seems to he willing to work; but those who
have never seen the large towns are very anxious
to mako trip, to if there id not some place
where work will be easier. Those who have been
soldiers seem to go to work with more earnest
ness, and appear very quiet and well disposed.
Tho people are tired and utterly disgustcd with
the questions now agitating the country. They
have lost nearly oil thoy were worth before the
war, and now they wish to go quietly to work to
make mp some of their losses. They care more
to know about the market price Of articles such as
they wish to sell or buy than they do for politics,
and no wonder"

The New York Herald says: "The advices from
China, Japan and India throw considerable light
on the turn affairs is taking in tho East. The
arrival Of Sir RUTHERFORD ALoooK, the British
Minister, in Pekin, had frightened the Chinese
Empress of her throne. Prince Kung, who has
favored the policy of opening the Celestial En-
pire to foreign intercourse, had been reinstaned
in power but Notwithstanding this fact, the
difficulties lying in the British Enjoys way
were believed to be OF the most formidable char
acter. The details Of the manner in which tho
opening of the Japanese treaty potts OF Hioga
and Osaca WIS accomplished form q singular
picture Of Japanese life. The allied feet of
England, France and Holland {the United States
Consul being consenting party to the proceed
ings), sailed up to Osaca and induced the Tycoon
to take some strong measures, with view to in
ducing the Mikado to carry out the provisions Of
the treaty. The tycoon, after much character
istic hesitation proceeded to the royal residence,
accom- panied by two thousand of his best troops,
who then and there declared their intention Of
performing the ''happy despatch" upon them
selves, unless the Tycoon's request was granted.
The damios were threatening the Emperor and
everybody else with death if the demand was ac-
ceded to. Ultimately, after days of intense ex-
element, tho Mikado consented to carry out the
treaty and open the ports, and the allied squadron
then returned.

Washington correspondent states that the
Reconstruction Committee have decided to report
joint resolution for the admission Of Tennessee.
1t will distinctly state that Tennessee having ap-
plcti for admission into the Union, and her Con-
sttution bc;ni, Republican in form, she shall be
admitted on the same terms aud for the same rea-
that Territories are. 1t will fully remedy the
radical idea that all Southern States are at pre-
sent out Of the Union, and conveys the false i'm
preusioa that Tennessee admits the fact and asks
adnlittance to Congress, but deny that their State
is or ever has been out Of the Union, or that Con-
gress has the right to legislate for Ler as for a
Territn-y

his musket, while the other stepped forward some
ten paco., wheeled and cooking his musket, ce-
Iberatcly aimed and fred, hitting tho other in the
neck, and wounding him SO severely that he lies
in precarious situation. We have been unable

THE CIRcus.-Last night We did ourselves the
pleasure Of taking the juvenile members OF the
family to the inside OF tho big canvass on Citadel
Square. The crowd was immense; an hour before
the performance commenced, every available seat
Of the amphitheatro was tenanted. The place was
not merely full, but it was crammed, jammed.
Everybody was there, and his wife WAS therc, and
all his children. And tho way the little boys and
girls enjoyed all the fire sights and funny sayings
was enough to convert an anchorite. The horses
were fine, and performed well, some of them most
learnedly. The riders did what circus riders al
ways do-stood, leaped, danced and pirouetted on
horseback and jumped through tho prescribed
number of hoops. The clowns wero dreadful"
funny; their Jokes extremely original. We know
that they were good clowns, for they did and said
the came things precisely shat We have known
every clown to say and do since We were "knee
high to ~ duck" "Czar" certainly in most mag
niicens h..rec; and could not but pity the poor
animal, r, accustomed to aristocratic society. 1t
is such coming down, from being one OF the
Russian Emperor's horses Of state, now to be COM
pelled to make fool Of himself for the delecta-
ton of the crowd-which to ray the least, is not
altogether aristocratic. And the lions-we must
not forget them-thoy roared splendidly and
everybody was delighted No kind of amusement
appears to be as popular as the Circus; and as
long as people enjoy such shows. why, We say, lot
them have them.
