Committed
New YORK. Oct. 2l.-TRe Democratic
National Committee has issued stirring
address. 1t revieWs at length the evils
brought upon the country by the Radicals,
d and urges the Conservatives to push their
cause with greater earnestness in order TO
save the country. The address concludes
as follows:
Once more weseall every patriot to join
e in our ranks. II the people will now rise
10 their majesty and might they can save
their institutions and rebuild them.
" they now are regardless Of their
sacred interests, 80, much in the last four
years has been accomplished, and so much
10 theHext four years may easily be ac-
complished, that no obstacle then remain
ing, the revolution will become fixed fact,
and the structure ofsOur government will
have been completely remodled. 1t may
3 be govtfnment still, but it will-no longer
be your representative self government for
this final struggle. Then, fellow Demo-
Gratis of the United States, let US invigor-
ate every muscle and nerve every heart.
The lime is short and the foe is stubborn
and desperate.
Our victory would be the death-blow 10
the Republican party. 1t could have been
held together by no other nomination. Ii
cannot survive your success. One victcry
is enough. Your triumph in November
will finally re-establish the Union and the
Constitution for anoLher generation of men.
1t will restore peace and good order to the
Sqdth, prosperity TO the North, and a wise
and frugal rule to both, all great prizes
wA-thy your most strenuous endeavors.
Our ranks are unbroken, our courage una
bated. Once moEeIto the breach, and this
time victory.

AFFAIRS N JAPAN.-The Japan correspondent
of the New York Times, under date OF March
7, writes that the situation Of affairs at that
time was unsatisfactory to all parties.
Stotbashi attempted to press forward on Jan.
9th, but discovered that the Daimio in charge
of Todo Castle was traitor, and tn It he had
given it up to Satsuma. Stotbashi then re-
treated to Osaka, losing many men in the act.
The foreign representatives were warned that
he could no longer protect them, and they got
on board the men-of-war and left for Hlogo.
The Tycoon himself then abandoned Osaka
and set out for Yeddo. The Southern princes
marched in and took possession. On Feb. 4th
some of Satsuma's troops attacked several
foreigners in Hiogo, wounding one French
marine and an American sailor. The assem-
bly was sounded at the British Consulate and
the Legation Guard gave chase, and returned
the fire. They captured o few prisoners and
some arms, but the main body escaped to the
hills. Marines we're landed from the fleets
with all available speed, and took up their
quarters ashore that night. The foreign min
listers in retaliation for this outrage seized
several steamers in the harbor OF Hlo@o,
which we're said to belong to princes who were
of this Southern party and held them, pub
fishing ut the same time q proclama5lon TO the
effect that they should require an explanation
and redress. In a very short time came am
bassadors in the name OF the Mikado declar-
ing his intention to faithfully observe all condl-
tions Of treaties made with the Tycoon, which
Office they said no longer exists. Upon this
the ships We're gwen up. The latest lntein-
gence by private letter from Hiogo is to the
effect that the war is over and Hiog0tranqull-
lZed. No fears are now entertained by Tor
eignerS for their SaTetv.

TIE LATE COMMODORE HARTsTENE-ARRITAL
OF Hrs REMAINs.-The remains OF the late
Commodore Henry Hartstene arrived IN Me-"
York on Wednesday in the French steamship
Pereire. and we're conveyed to the residence
of General Halstead, al Kearney, near Newark,
New Jersey, where they Will remain until
arrangements for the funeral are completed.
The following sketch Of the career Of the de-
ceased is from the New York World:
Commodore Hartstene was borne in the year
1910 in Sorth Carolina. He entered the United
States naval service in 1928, and became passed
midshipman in 1885, his warrant dating from
the previous year. Three years afterwards be
was attached to the Wilkes exploring expedi-
tion, but went no further on that important
voyage than Callao. In 1883 ne was promoted
to the rank of lieutenant; and performed duty
in various positions until 1851, when he was
attached to the United States Coast Survey. In
1S45 he was promoted to the rank OF command
er and in the same year performed the SER
vice for which he was 80 celebrated, the rescue
Of DR.. Kane and his party from the Artic re-
eions While on this perllous expedition he
lett the monument Of Sir john FRANKLIN on
Beechy Island, and took her Majesty's steam
er Resolute back to England. When upon this
occasion he was presented to the Queen, he
made that address which has been considered
a model Of it's kind. He was subseq 1entiy en-
gagged in taking soundings for the Atlantic Co
Bile. He was awaiting orders for further SER
wee at the outbreak Of the rebellion and as
Southern gentleman, felt it his duty to resign
the commission he held Of the United States,
and Join his fortunes to the Confederacy. He
was employed in various special services by
the Confederate States Government. In 1868
he was attacked with paralysis Of the right
slde The statement that he became insane
the year previous is entirely erroneous. His
speech was much ilnpeded by the disease that
had attacked him but his intellect always re-
NAMED bright and penetrating. Having suf-
fered two successive attacks OF paralysis, in
addition to that already mentioned, it occurred
to him about year ago that a trip to Paris
might perhaps benefit his health, and he start
ed on the journey in March, 1867 While in
the French capital, however, his health suffer-
ed no improvement, and q fourth and last par
alytic attack caused his death at the Hotel du
Louvre, on the 31st ult. The body was en-
balmed in Paris with allIthat skill for which
French surgeons are remarkable, and it is un-
derstood that it wears most lfe-like aspect.
The remains have been taken in charge by
General Halstead, school-fellow and valued
friend Of the deceased. The funeral will take
place at Trinity Church, Newark, on Saturday
next, on which occasion the coffin will be OPEN
ed to give the friends of Commander Hartstene
the opportunity of taking farewell look at
the mortal remains Of him whom il life they
deeply esteemed.

this port yesterday, serves further to enfore
the realization Of great commercial enter
The Berlin brought seven hundred and seventy
passengers, nearly seven hundred and fifty Of
whom are emigrants, and a valuable cargo Of
merchandise, mostly the production of Euro
pean art and manufacture. Like the Balti-
more, her consort, the Berlin is an iron screw
propeller Of 2O65 tons burthen, and seems to
have occupied about the same time in making
the run from Bremen to this port. In the
number of passengers she brings she fulflls
the assurance expressed by MIR. Schumacher
in his remdrks at the banquet in honor OF the
Inauguration of the line, that the Berlin
would have full complement, adding that
there is every prospect Of the succeeding
steamers being filed to their utmost capacity.
