Mr.. EDITOR: Several of your cor
respondents, very old and respectable,
no doubt, seem to be wonderfully
exercised as to the origin of our
PLANTATION BITrERs. SO long as
these Bitters are all that we represent
them to be, we do not know that it
makes any difference from whom
they come, or from whence they
originated; but, for the information
of the public generally, and old Cap
tain lVent5 in particular, we will say
that he told the truth, and TINT these
Bitters originated in the West India
Islands-that many of the ingredients
have been favorably used for over
century-but our combination of
Calisaya is entirely new, and our
own. The rum and other materials
are the same, and, as your CORES
pondent says, better Bitters and
Tonic is not made. We recommend
them particularly for dyspeptics,
fever and ague, debility, loss OF
appetite, and in all cases where u
tonic and stimulant is sreauired.

AFFAIRS IN JAPAN. in
Japan are in such an uncetain condi-
ton, in consequence of the civil war
now pending. that full consideration
cannot be given to some events
touching the interests of the Western
world until it shall be possible to
judge with hope of accuracy which
party is likely to SUCCEED. At the
latest advices, it seemed that the
contest still continued The North
ern, or Shiogoon's party were gene
rally represented to be victorious,
but the position OF the AIikado had
not been materially changed. He
still held his court, protected by his
troops, and assumed to be possessed
Of universal power. His most recent
act has been to decree that the name
of Jeddo shall be changed to Tonkei,
or the Eastern Capital, and to decree
that it shall be open to foreigners on
and after October 1. This fact shows
that the NIikado understands the ne
cessity Of propitiating the foreign
powers, and is q guarantee that what
ever may happen, the commercial in
terests of the world will not material
ly suffer. The Tycoon is pledged to
q like policy, and however the in
ternal dissensions in Japan may be
settled, there is little probability that
the privileges of foreigners will be
disturbed. The points involved in
the war in Japan are better under
stood now than they were when it
broke out. It is partially personal
contest, influenced by ambition
among the great princes; but there
are also involved in it the principles
of progress and liberal advancement
as regards The home policy.
