PHn.ADEI.PIIIA, FRIDAY, JULY 13*, 1860, i
Clf f ress-
jßpoueee liilcratiire nnd Science.
Some eighteen months Miiec, our readers
may remember, we introdneed to their notice
a work prepared by three members of a litera
ry society connected with, the ITniverßlty ol
Pennsylvania, translating and commenting
upon an Egyptian' monument, and beautilully
lllnstrateirwith cliaractoristle designs by one
of the authors."
>7c have been by no means surprised at the
success which has in every way crowned their
efforts, and which wore so fliliy.deserved. Two
from among the rhany kind notices It has met
with from eminent men—a iettea ftom Baron
Ilnmboldt and a review by George Bancroft,
the historian—have appeared in onr columns.
The s jeond edition is nearly out of print.
We wish now to call, attention to a work in
some respects similar, a “Japanese Botany,”
being a fac-slmilo of a Japanese book, with
Introductory notes and translations, published
by our ontorprisiog fellow-citizens J, B. IMp
pincott 8c Co. >
' Tho mime of the editor and translator, (an
officer of the United States Navy, we believe,)
is not given. It appeals in a style similar to
the original, in paper, binding, &c. Forty,
four pages are taken up' with the? Japanese
plates and text, illnsfmting and describing
thirty-nine different dowering plants. Four
teen additional pages givo a literal and a free,
translation of tho first eleven or twelve pagos
of description. Introduction and notes occu
py as many more. ' f
. The drawings—bold, free, and natural—are,
remarkably good. , Among the plants repre
sented are the Taraxacum, Shepherd’s.purse,'
Fern, several spocius of Epideudrlnm; also,!
several of the Iris water-grasses And lilies-j
■Were' tliero iibtbing else, tho work would be!
valuable for the illustrations, which show that’
the arts of design in Japan have reached a;
higher point, in respect to at least one depart
ment, than most of our readers ate probably;
aware of.
Many, however, will be disposed to value it ;
more as affording an insight into tho language
ol our new allies. . Tho editor- does not, In-j
do£d, claim for this work a high critical value,'
and our readers can readily understand tho;
difference between the close'and careful studyj
in the" explanation of tho dim remains of a|
long-lost languago shown in the Kosptta Stono,
Report, and what wonld ho required in givjtigj
a popular version of a work of this kind in a;
living tongue. Vet, such works as this are!
really very important. They attract the atten
tion of those who would never care to' open
the huge quarto which goes to tho root of the
matter!while,it prepares tho way, with some,;
to these, by developing a taste which might;
otherwise have remained latent,' • ' ' , ’■
This “ Botany” will doubtless incite >_in
many minds a-detire to know something of
the language of Japan. It has in ours. Shall
we tell 'you some of tjio results of cfiir IfivestK
gatioi 1 1 • ;
In tho first place, if we may define a tiling
by telling what it is not, the Japanese language
is not a variety of the Chinese. Klaproth,
tho eminent linguist, declares it to bo “so
dissimilar to ail knowu languages in Btructjlce,
grammar, and every characteristic, as to prove
the nation who use it to he a distinct race.”
Bow, then, is the well-known fact to be ex- 1
plained that the Japanese can understand Chi.
nese writing, and the Chinese tirat-*' r *t.
nano*" : .ociers sro, cm,
ployed ? This is precisely as tho different na
tions of Kuropo each Understand numbers
written In Arabic numerals. These.numerals
are signs of common ideas, not of words; 17,
for. instance, representing to an Englishman, a
Frenchman, nbda German, the same rnlue,
but the different names are seventeen,, dix
sept, and slebzehn.
The Chinese language Is essentially mono,
syllabic; tho Japanese, on thoolher hand, de
lights in polysyllables. For exsmple, the first
person plural ot tho personal pronoun, which;
in most other languages, is one of tho short-:
eat of words, ia in Japanese, i oats kuso dome.
The Japanese are said, prior to tho latter
part of the ftiird century, to have had no
written languago. Wo nin, a learned China
man from tile Corea, in the reign ot Oiiziu
tenwo, introduced Chinese ideographic cha
racters. These are still used largely in Japan,
Some four hundred and (lily years later, an al
phabet was formed, or, rather, a syllabary;
since each of the forty-eight characters, hut
one, represents an entire syllable. These let
ters were called kata lean a, or parts of letters,
being formed of portions of Chinese cliarac
terjj They are generally used in connection
with Chineso characters to define their pro
nunciation', or mark grammatical inflections.
Hira-Kana—letters appropriated especially to
the tise of ladies —hurl tlielr origin atabont the
same tilrie. They also arc formed from Obi
nese characters. Tney do not seein to do jus
tice to their name (hirnkana moans “equal
writing ”)> there boing various irregular forms
tor each character, which makes it difficult to
read. This kind of writing may be used with
outthe Chinese character. Besides these two
more usual kinds of letters, are the Zlakn-so',
the Manyokana and Tamalo-kana. These fivo
alphsliks are sometimes all used at fandom,
with (t, sprinkling of Chinese characters. A
inoro confusing style could hardly be imagined.
To return to our baolt—On the cover are two
Chinese signs, sawa, kuwa, representing an
herb.and a-flower, to be read “Herbs and
Flowers,” since It is a singular fact in Japanese
gramiriar that no word is considered singular
unless it can be proved so. Two pages in the
beginning oi (he book, which beginning, in
Japanese, is always at the other end , ns in the
Hebrew, are a title-pnge and index in Chinese
and him* hana characters mixed. A preface Oi
tv?o pages follows. lint ono side of the paper
is printed on, the blank sides being turned to
gether, the edge uncut; just between each two
pages, which thus folded make a leaf, Is printed
the title ot the book and tho number of the
leaf.'"The descriptions are at the sides of the
picture, each taking up some three or four

Letter from Washington.
ICorrespondence of The Prose,]
. WASHINGTON, July 11,1860.
The article in the London Times t concerning
tbo San Jaau question, is considered here to be
nothing bat an obnllldon of British pride and ar
romance. Its tone, it is true, is overbearing and
unsoropulou?, but we are accustomed to expect
from John Ball in his intercourse with foreign na
tions, little courtesy and politeness. But so far ns
this country la concerned, the idea that Great Bri*
tain will go to war on account of the insignificant
San Juan qnsstlon Is more than rldioulous. We
know that weoon do very well without her, but
the cannot git along a single year without us.
War, of osnrie, would stop all commercial Inter*,
course between the two countries; the British cot*
ton factories, depending for five-sevenths of their
employment npon the United States, would be
stopped for want of cotton, employers would be
ruiaed, and famine would stalk abroad among the
hundreds and thousands of working people who are
at present fortanately well employed. That is the
seoret whieh liduoed Lord Grey, in his celebrated
speech, to use h« following language:
If any on* Europoan nation,?’ bo observes,
“ were to act Ii the same manner, it ceuld not es
cape war for * single year. We ourselves have
been repeated!; on the verge of a quarrelwith the
United States. With no divorgecoe of interest,
but the stronger possible Intorcst on both Bides to
maintain the clceet friendship, we have more than
onoe.been on th»eveof a quarrel; and that great
calamity hasonh been avoided beoanse the Govern
ment oftbU couttry bashed the good sense to treat
the Govorninontof the United States much as we
should troat spoled children; and though the right
was olearly on ojr side, has yielded to the unrea
sonable preteuatus of the United State?.”
We appwbendihat Great Britain, In spite of the
fiery artloles of he London Thunderer, will have
to take refuge n the same consolation. The
,** spoiled chUdrei” will do just as they have done
heretofore—that is, General Harney will bo sus
talced in his polly, and not read lied, as the Times
desires.
- Returna are ooring In slowly in the Census Of

as orthography nd writing are oonoernod. That
proves that the puntry is progressing, and that

In a few month there will assemble in Europe
the Fourth Etatfifoal Congress. All olvllized
countries have hen Invited to send delegates«'
atnongst them, theUnitod States. Tho purpose of
the Congress Is tofnrther statistical solence, nml
especially tolutrosioe more uniformity into the
official reporfotof tie respective Governments, in
order to facilitate t comparison, and make them
more correct; Thefirst Congress met in Brussels,
the seoond in Falris.and the (hir’d in Vienna., Re
presentative? of all European Governments were
present, comprising tho first statisticians In the
world. Tho Unitedltates were,at Brussels, repre
sented by thepreconbblo superintendent, Mr. Ken
nedy. Our- Goveranent befog invited to send
delegates to the nex. Congress, Mr. Buchanan has
appointed two gentl/men to represent this country,
who know just as tmoh of statistics as the Japanese
do about danolng. Iplthor of them has over had
anything to do, on any oonnoetion with that
science, and, therefore, It must not a little sur
prise the European sivants to see this country
thus represented, while there is no scarcity of
scientific and able statistical writers amongst us.
Besides, neither of then Is acquainted 'with tho
Frenoh language. In which the proceedings of the
Congress will be held. Indeed, statistics, without
wbloh no statesman oangef along, are ltttlo appre
ciated iu this oountry-at least, that must ho. the

will arrive. .No*;

Since the exciting Presidential contest of 1858,1 <
hivf become satisfied that unless before another!
cainpalgn some solid middle cronri4li
oould be dlsaovered, by ouz potltfoal
open which the ceoserretive people of the Nevihi
and South could rally and meet as friends, ourglo
rlons Union must either he'dissolved or rendered
practically useless for. all the great political and
commercial purposes for which It was originally
established.
Bver since my first political recollections there
bas been a edneiant warfare waged between tbej
North and South upon of slavery; And;
-U Beexosiome that at leut thihe-fourih*of every,
Congrcii, ,ahd nfae-t£athi po-j
litical, tbat-bw bean made, either fa or out!
of Poogmes, has been .devoted to thla,prolific
theme. Th’ewply result thsi I can discover Is the
formationoriyro great sectional parties, 1 One for
tbe North ‘for the whose antago--
nismsareso wonld frthAhe dls
rsolutlon Of tho of the'other.
Tbe effaot of all this hha Dson to reterd the pros
perity and developmeotof onr country and Its re
sources fa such an extent, that think
that, unless 7 tb 1e eternal slavery question can be for
ever put af Iwst, Vt would ba'bstter for us all If a -
dividing line Could be peacefnlfy'drawn betn'een 1
the free and Have States, 'and a separate Govern- [
ment and laws established for eaohi The Govern-'
tnenc of the Northern, or free States, could then
improve bar harbors for (be protecUsu of her com-;
.meroe, and establish a tariff that would protect her
labor and develop her resources, without being l
subject to tho.eoosUnt and upited opposition of tbe
Southern States. ’ And we could then have a Pad.

upon the natural ro/'.vi and without refersnse
to the supposed sectional bsnrfiff that its construe-
Hob upon any partienlaryoutc would confer, either
up<?U the North or g^b—whereas all these, and
manjMthor great are now prevented by
jeatouriee. .
. 'But how tauob better wiH it be if the people
a t tlUa vexed and most
ftrofltlfu question be dnvju out and- kept cut of
out of onr general politloi; and tbe
people of each State and Territory riot only al
lowed, but eQmpctl&dy to settle-U-ln their own way
among tbemselvss, without the interference of Con
fgp»»jor the Kxecatiro ? This I understand to b 0
Sovereignty, as expounded by Judge
Dot^las.
The more I reflect upon this great principle,arid
follruwltoat.to its legitimate remits aaiiffaqUDg)
tho Internal peach and prosperity of oor country,
the more fully am 1 impressed with the profound
sagacity and etaUamansbi; of it<t author and ex
pounder. I can see no Mho; wey, in the* present
crisis, to save the Union fatar.t, and, at the same
tims. rdstore its members to that feeling of con
cord and fraternity which h so necessary to our
growth and prosperity.
I am, and always have boeu, opposed to the ex-*
tension of slavery, and fa favor of freedom, in its
volved fa this question li ooncarnel, whether Con*j
grew has, - or has tfbt, tho power neder tfiu
Constitution to prohibit dr protect slavery' In the
Territories. Neither am I parileuiniy,impressed
with the solemnity, or importance, of Sapreme
Court deoisions upon this grave question; because
I believe that Its final solution shonld, and is to be
one of expediency rather than of law; and that it
is far above and beyond tie roach of all these
powers combined. And here allow me to qaote, as
expressive of my own views, the eloqueotlanguage
of Mr. Webslor, in bis great speech “ for the Con
stitution and the Union, delivered fa the United
States Senate fal850:
u And I now say. sir, a? the proposition
upon which I stand this day. and upon the truth
and firmness of which I Intend fa set until it la
overthrown, that there I- not at thi? moment with
in the United States, or ai y Trrrifary of the United
fitates, a single foot of lani character of which,'
in regard to its being free territory or slave terri
tory, Is not fixed by some law, nndVjma irrepeala
ble law beyond tho power of the &c'ion of tbe Go
vernment. I mean the law of Nature, of physical
geography—the law of the formation of.the earth;
und I would not take pains uselessly to reaffirm
an ordinance of Nature, nor to rc-eaact the will of
God.” '
The conservative men ot Ibe Republican party
say, ” Wo claim the right to legislate against the
extension of slavery ; but we never intend to do
so: tho South need not be alarmed; ire are only
fighting for a principle" And the Southern
moo tell us of the North, that “ you must sot feel
alarmed, for although we olalm and mean to main*
tain our right to establish and protect slavery in
the Territories, yet we never intend to exercise It,
tcc are, only fighting for a pu’ncip’c." And thus,
while these rival faotlons arc fighting for an ab
stract principle wb*oh, in my opinion, neither of
them, if they had tho power, would dare carry into
effeot, the material interests of tho country are
suffering from the want of proper and efficient le
gislation, and the Uoion itPeU* Is threatened with
dissolution _
Tho beautiful consistency of suoh a saieldal
course was exemplified by an engineer who under
took to baild a bridge of one spin, upon a new
principle wbloh he had invented, aoross tho Dela
ware liver, at a point whore at least two spans
wore required.' The bridge stood very well until
it .was completed, and the false or temporary
work, upon which U had rented, taken from under
It, when, us almost every one had predicted, it fell
into the river. The engineer, upon being asked
what be now thought of his bridge, replied that
“ he did not caro a d—n about tho bridge, hit the
principle was there." Would it not be well for
some of our leading politicians to apply the moral,
and abandon a useless and dangerous principle be
fore it Is tod late ?
But I have already, written muoli more than I
intended, or than was necessary |n. order to assure
you that I am with yen'heart and soul in this con
test; and that there are thousands 'of others ip
this State who, like myself, have not heretofore
acted or voted with tho Democratic party; but
who, uow that it has out loose from the dictatlop
and control of a corrupt Administration, and the
disunion faction of the South, will give their hearty
and efficient support to the regular- candidates of
the Baltimore Convention.
I have known Judge Douglas long and well, and
believe him to be a statesman of great Integrity
and ability. If eleoted by the American people,
as I trust ho will be, to the highest office in their
gift, I have no doubt that bis Administration will
reflect the highest honor both upon himself and
the country. -Yours, sincerely,

from three to Bix contimetro?. of the same or simi

days afterthe approval of the contract, and the re
mainder In monthly lots of 5 000 each. • The pro- ‘
posala must be accompanied by a deposit of $2,000, -
as a guarantee of the fulfilment of the contract.
Aa this is merely Intended as a trial of the Me-
Adam system, If successful It will be universally
adopted for the whole of the avenues and streets

Dnin Prkss : Tbeetern “northeaelsrI’to 1 ’to which
this fair island was treated os Friday and Saturday
last has veered aa effectually u the change was ar>
dently prayed for; and every one of-your good
oitlseps who, has a friend sojourning here will learn
with j'j that although our present breese Is grafted
anl; be. appreeiilcd b; eijleriaaee, and ever, tt
:dar whir per, thn injnnetlon (a(ita;
hero apd) ‘(beep cool.”' That tho taaeontae hew
fall; inltiAtcd a moment’s consultation.with the
principal hotel register* will confirm, whilst ever;
train arriring here adds hundreds of gratified
countenances’to the gay and feetlTo throng. At
the present rate of Increase, a few daje’mora will
fill the hotels,:whea, with the many beautiful cot
tages already oocnpied,lt may truly be said that
Philadelphia h&a a city of JU own down l>y the sea.
Tho bathing never wu and when the hour
of eleven A. M. arrives, it is the signal for a gen.
ersl stampede ,to ihe heaeh. Here amid the loom
ing breakers, which know no treaeherons under
tow, the most timid forget their timidity and join
tho more venturous In tho health-infusing surf.
Yesterday (Sunday) oar church-attending com
munity had ample oanse to congratulate them
selves. At the Methodist Episcopal; Ohnrcb, the
Hev. Allred Cookman ofilcigted, morning and eve
ning, and was greeted by.large repreeentaUana
from the hotels and cottages. In the Presbyterian
Ghnrch, on Pennsylvania avenue, Episcopal ser
vice was observed, under the offiolet charge of . the
Rev. Dr. Watson, of tho Church of the Atonement,
Philadelphia. Large audiences sere present
morning and evening, and the Rev. Doctor’e beau
tiful, appropriate, ami Impressive Sermon was con
vincing to all present, that though removed from
the sanotnarles of their adoption, even Loro they
can enjoy the Dlvlno edification to which they are
aeoustomed at home.
Yesterday was also inaugurated the first Sunday
train of the season, and a large number of orderly
and respectable persons availed theniEelvea of the
opportnnity to spend a day at the sea-aide. Con
trary to much speculation npon the propriety of
running a Sunday train, it has been, since its In
troduction last season, voted a decided blessing to
hundreds who o&nnot get away from business on
other days, and whoso deportment when here be
tokens a degree of respectability, quite re
freshing to the advocates of a Sunday train during
the bathing season. Apropos of trains, &0., no
thing odnld Do more efficient than the management
ef the Camden and 1 Atlantic Railroad during the
last two years. ' However, when anything moves
with the greatest degree of harmony for a time, it
beoomes at onoe most human and natural to criti
cise any innovation that may be introduced. And
it Js not alone your correspondent who pauses for
consideration at a rumored change of old-esta
blished rules; .
It is whispered .that hereafter there will be a
change weekly, of the conductors from one train to
another, thus subjecting them, at very short inter*
vals, to ontlrely different tlme-tableß. Wherein
the practicability of this step oan He, remains to
be revealed; but it does seem that, whereso many
trains occupy tho same track; a greater degree of
safety would be Insured if oach of the effioleut
gentlemen who have command of the trains were
.assigned permanont stations:- This is given as a
prominent topic among the hundreds who feel
gladdened at overy success in connection 1 with the
O&mden and Atlnntio Railroad.
In a vSry few days there will be more diversity
here for those who will devote a cool inomont to
tho many sweltering readers of The Press. And
so, always yours, M.

The Tomato as Food.— Dr. Bennett-, a pro
fessor of some celebrity, considers the tomato an
invaluable artiole of diet,, and bribes to H various
Important medicinal.properties.,- yipt: That the
tomato is one of the most powerful aperients of the
liver and other organs; where calomel is Indi
catedi it is probably one of the mo3t effective and
least harmful remodial agents known to the profes
sion. Second: That a chemical eictraot will be
obtained from it- thatwill supersede the use of calo
mel in the cure.of;disease, r Third That he baa
successfully- treated diarrhoea with (his article
a’ono., Fourth,: That when used as an articleqf
diet, It is an almost sovereign remedy fordvspep

stantly used for daily food, either oooked or raw,
or in the form of a catsup; it is the most healthy
artiole now in use.
