corea. the scene of the recent nava
exploit under Commodore Rodgers, Is Q
country of Northeastern Asia. Its area Is
80 900 square miles, more or lessi IN iac'
lis limits are so uncertain that any large
FIGURE NAV be mentioned. Its population,
we are told. is 10000, 900 or perhaps r.
600. 900. 1t is called by the natives
"Tsyosien." The Chinese, to whom IL Is
tributary. call it s'Kao-lee," and the
Japanese .sKorai, whence its tributary
name. II is an extensive peninsula, bound
ed bv the Yellow Sea, the Straits 81 Corea
and the Sea of Japan. In addition to the
continental territory, there is a large ar
chipelago of islands, about which much is
not known In the west and south, the
soil is fertile, but in the north and on the
coast, the agricultural wealth of the peo-
pie is not great. The climate is very cold,
and in summer too abundant rain falls.
Its most valuable exports are the medicinal
root ginseng and Corea tiger-sins, which
are far more beautiful than those of Ben
gal The minerals include gold, silver,
iron, rocksalt, copper, and coal. The
musk of Corea is world-famous. Their
manufactures are, for barbarous people,
of considerable excellence Their saflres
are known throughout all Eastern Asia,
and their matchloeks are superior to any
thing the Chinese can produce. Their
textile fabrics OF silk, hemp, and grass
are substantially woven. The Coreans
first popularized the use of paper in man
ufactures. 1t is from them that the Yam
kee notion" of paper boats and paper
walls is borrowed. rw
The commerce Of the country is chiefly
with China and Japan The vassilage In
which 1t is held by China is not very i'm
portant. A tribute of 500 ounces is an
nually paid; an embassy Is sent to report
to the Chinese Emperor Cerean progress
The religion is Buddhism. and the mon

FOREIGN NOTES.

Count Won Arnim, Ambassador at
Brussels, and one Of the commissioners
appointed to settle the Franco-G erman
treaty Of peace, has left Berlin Tor
Frankfort, where he will resume finan-
cial negotiations with the delegates ap-
pointed by the French government, in
order to expedite the evacuation Of the
French provinces by German troops.
The conference now being held at
Gastein, between the Emperors Of Aus
tria and Prussia, is regarded: with in.
difference in diplomatic circles at Paris.
II is presumed, however, that should
an alliance be entered into between Aus
tria and Germany, as a result Of the
conference, it would he likely to lead to
a similar alliance between France and
Russia.
A dispatch from Berlin states that in
view of the conference at Gastein and
the probable revision of the Eastern
question, it is semi-officially stated that
the relations at present existing between
the governments Of Germany and Aus.
tria are Of the most harmonious and
peaceful character. 1t is also
stated that the final settlement
OF the Frankfort negotiation is
considered urgent, and that the evacua-
ton of occupied districts and forts Of
France will proceed in proportion as the
obligations OF France 10 Germany are
duly met and fulfilled, as disturbances
ard provocations which have arisen in
Strasbourg and other cities in the occu-
pied provinces endsngering the peace OF
the country are discontinued.

And it can do this whether the Govern.
ment at Washington supports its efforts
or opposes them. So the Federal au-
thorities are more deeply interested in
learning the truth than We are in tell
ing it. They need our support, and we
can succeed without theirs. If they
want the State, then, they had better
acknowledge the convention at Turner
Hall
From the New Orleans Times.l
Yesterday was day long to be re-
membered, not only in Louisiana, but
throughout the boundless realms Of
Ulysses l. The first practical applies
ton OF that despotic military rule
which servile Congress was so ready
to authorize, and a besotted President
go ready to enforce, was then pushed to
an offensive extreme, though in a direc-
tion little dreamed of by those who pre-
pared the poisoned chalice. The En-
forcement Act was intended to strength
en- the President as a candidate for re-
election in 1872, and to perpetuate Rad
ical rule throughout the South, by
effectually suppressing every constitu-
tional attempt to re-establish a legltl-
mate self-government among the peo-
pie. But man proposes and God dis
poses. That which was intended to
give strength has already proved itself
an element OF weakness. The rule
which was to be perpetuated was undi-
vided Radical rule, and the people to
be held in check were the landowners
and taxpayers of the country, who
demand honesty and efficiency in their
public servants. The first enforcement
OF the Enforcement Act in this vicinity
was against men white and black, who
claimed TO be the authorized representa-
tives Of Republican opinion in Louisi-
ana. The House OF Radicalism in the
State is divided, and Federal bayonets
were invoked to support one section or
faction of wrongdoers against the other.
No rebel outrages were feared. Negroes
were numerous and clamorous on both
sides, and the contest for supremacy
would have been decided more in &C
cordance with the traditions Of the
Fathers, had the matter been left to the
contestants themselves and the un-
thinking bayonet been kept at dis
Greet distance in the rear. But such is
not the manner that O. Radinal military
President elects in making his ad-
vance toward imperial domination. The
bayonet is his chosen and authorized
emblem of authority, and that hated
badge of servitude, the pass, is accepted
by his vassals as a check on freedom
OF assemblage and freedom Of discus
sion

asking a construction Of the law that
will give it a large additional subsidy, is
about to take a new departure. 1t will,
it is said, build twenty miles more road
and then demand additional government
aid, and ifit is not forthcoming, sue out
a writ of mandamus against the Secre-

RecOmm endatiOn that the Marine
Hospital at Pittsburgh, Penna., be
Removed.
The report Of John NJ. Woodwork,
supervising surgeon OF the revenue ma
rine service, has just been submitted
He recommends that the present local
ity of the hospital at Pittsburgh be
changed, on account OF its proximity to
the rolling-mills and blast-furnaces.
The building is old and defective, and
the cost OF repairs would exceed the
expense of erecting new building. He
suggests that a new hospital be estab-
lished, to be built entirely of wood, on
the pavilion plan. The value OF the
property at Pittsburgh is estimated at
$4,000. He decides that the govern
ment need not be put to any expense
for the erection of hospitals in Phila-
delphia, as the charitable disposition OF
the inhabitants renders it unnecessary.
Fires At Saginaw Bay.
The Signal Office has information
that the smoky weather in the vicinity

Revenue Defalcations.
A statement was issued from the
Treasury to-day showing the balances
due June &c, 1871, from the Collectors
of Internal Revenue for the State of
New York. j. Bailey is charged as
a deiaulter to the amount Of $l32,-
642.25; VIM. Nosleton, s6422l. 40;
j. B. Halstead, $lS,S7935. The un-
adjustable accounts from New York
amount to S75,ll3.09. The defaulters
in Pennsylvania foot up $2l7,O5S39,
and the unadjustable accounts foot up
$93,65S.3l. Through the exertions of
the Revenue officials the balance due
from State Collectors have been greatly
reduced during the last six months.
