THE ARRIVAL OF DANIEL PRATT-No ling
ing of bells or firing of guns, no military or
civic display, marked the arrival of Daniel
Pratt, the great American traveller, on the
Boston boat yesterday He came quietly and
unostentatiously, as his custom. is and we do
not know that he even took rooms at the Fal-
mouth. He is a democrat, is Daniel, in the
best sense ofEthe word, and the CARLOADS of
college diplomas, the volumes of newspaper
notices and the thousands of nominations for
the Presidency he has received do not disturb
for an instant the serenity and affabilty of
his demeanor, or the severity of his republican
simplicity. We are authorized TO make three
statements concerning Mr.. Pratt. He did not
jump into East river the last time he was in
New York, with suicidal intent, as has been
falsely stated by corrupt and mendacious jour-
nails he is not now a candidate for the Presi-
dency, his DISTINGUISHED consideration for the
public good having moved him to withdraw;
finally he will address the citizens of this city
at sundry times and in divers places ON ev-
cry subject that has ever engaged the atten-
ton of the human race, introducing at appro-
pirate intervals, his "leaping gesturew Viue

THE GEORGIA MINsTRELs.-This band of
musicians drew large audience at Deering
Hall last evening. Their acting, singing and
playing was very pleasant TO all present In
many parts of their performances they excel
those who are burnt cork and assume the ne
gro character. They appeared quite African
in their several roles without trying to be SO,
and this is what made them so pleasing to the
audience, and their jokes and witticisms were
not so stale and Improbable as those perpe-
trated by white folks who act the part of negro
minstrels. They perform again this evening
at the same place, and no doubt they will be
greeted by another full house.

Mr.. Burngame has become since he has re-
sided abroad as astute as Metternich or Tai
| ieyrand. He has made many beautiful speech
es 3s Ambassador of his oriental majesty the
Emperor of Chua, but it would pnzzle a tuli
corps of Philadelphia lawyers of extra ability
to gather from his remarks exactly what he
intends to accomplish by his diplomacy. By
the industry of newspaper correspondents,
however, it has come to light that he and Mr..
Seward have arranged little treaty that is
ready for submission to the Senate, the ratifi-
cation of which will make the relations of the
United States with China very intimate, and
place this country in the position of protect
or Of that mighty empire against European
aggression. The following is a brief summary:
The Emperor of China in the treaty declines
to cede the right OF emiuent domain in any of
nus iapds or waters to citizens of foreign coun-
tries, but gives them the privilege of residing
IN the land and trading in certain waters, and
VIII protect the citizens OF the United States
living In MS empire from attack by powers
hostile to our country. We are not to attack
the citizens OF any other country living III his
domInlons, but may defend ourselves if assail-
ed. The Emperor reserves his ripht of iuris-
diction over the persons and property of Amer
lean citizens resident in China, unless II ia ey
pressly coded by the treaty. Ae also reserves
onS " Lldhe uldtlOuS as TO the trade
on his rivers and in his citiea, but stipulates
that they shall be made in a liberal spirit. We
give him the right to appoint consuls to our
ports, and agree that they shall have the same
privileges as those of European nations The
widest religious liberation is guaranteed to the
citizens OF either country while residing in the
other The right of persons to change their
homes and citizenship is warmly recognized
and free migration will be encouraged. We
are to pass laws making it high penalty to take
Chinese subjects away from China without
voluntary consent, and are to give all the pro
lection of our laws to such as come here to
live The citizens of either country migrating
to the other are to be put on the most favor
able footing with respect to privileg and i'm
munities. We are to join hands with the EN-
peror in bringing about uniform money
standard. Reciprocal privileges and advan-
tages in the schools of each country are
pledged, aud no religious or political tests are
to be applied. We are to allow the Emperor to
employ engineers and skilled mechanics in
this country when he gets ready to build rail-
roads and teiegTaphs, and he indicates gener-
pire is at au end, and that he will soon set on
foot extensive system of internal improve
