FROM JAPAN. I.ETTIR FROM MIMBTKR HARRIS. Naw York. Nov. 16 Tbe Sttate Depart ment has received advices from Minister Har ris, dated tbe 5th of July, in which he states that tbe Japanese steamer Candiimturrak bad arrived atYeddo from San Francisco. and her return voyage was navigated by Jo, panes, alone. "Tbia." be says, "is tbe first instance that a vessel conducted solely by Asiatics bas successfully crossed tbe great North Pacific ocean, and strikingly proves tbe Jaoooese to be so capable or improve ineot that tbey roigh soon place themselves at tbe bead of Oriental enterprise, if they were allowed freely to cultivate tbe great powers tbey possess. Tb. commander of the steamer, with tw of tbe Governors for Foreign Affairs, called un Mr. Harris, saying tbey came by commaod of the Tycoon, aud were directed to express to Dim bis Majesty's sincere thanks for tbe friendly and cordial manner in wbicb tbe com mander and officers of bis steamer bad been received by the authorities and people of San Fraoeisco. Tbey were directed to thank him particu larly for tbe complete repairs made to their steamer at toe Mare Island isavy lard. Tbe reports of the officers of the Candin. murrah, and the letters received from tbe Embassy, with full accounts of their reception at Sao Francisco, and the kindness shown tbem by all classes of our people bave produ ced a lively sensatioo, especially among tbe nobles wbo heretofore opposed to lb. treaty of Yeddo. One of the officials naively re marked to Mr. Harris : "We did not believe you wbon yon told us of tbe frieodly feelings of your country for us, but we now see that all yon said was true." Mr. Harris is of the opinion that when tbe A nibasaadors return to Japan and relate their reception by the President of the United States, and when they state what tbey bav. seen of tb. greatuess and prosperity of our country, it will bave an important effect upon tb. minds of of those who bav. objected to intercourse with foreign nations, and lead to a better state of feeling on their part toward as. Tbi Proposed Road from Pottsviu.i to West Wood. We learn that the Mine Hill corps of Engineers are now engaged in Sur veying the rout, for a Railroad from Potts villa, to connect with tbe Mine IJ till Railroad above West Wood. The distance will b. from two and a half to three miles, and will cost in the neigbborbood of $40,000. The completion of this liuk will make a through connection from Philadelphia, via Pottsville to Sunbory and trie, lor passengers and gen eral traffic, as tbe Mine 1 1 ill Railroad Com puny does not car. about passenger trains running over tbe road between West Wo.d and Schuylkill Haven, owiug to tbe heavy coal traffic below that point, wbicb passes over tbe Road. It is unnecessary for as to point out to our citizens and businessmen, the great advantages of this connection, as tbey must be obvious to every one and as tbe subscriptions to tbe Broad Moantain and Maliauoy Road are no longer binding, owing to tbe change of location, we would orgs upon our citizens a liberal subscription to this Road as sooo as it is located, and ao estimate of its cot snhmilted.

W. know that doubts will b. raised atone, whether such an enterprise would pay. We know that, it will pay well, judging from other places where it bas been Introduced. It may be said that tber. ar. too many private ica bonsei to warrant such an enterprise. In reply, we bav. to say that many of these wool J not b. filled, if the owners coold be sure of a regular supply of ice from other sources as they wanted it. Besides, it would enable many others to indulge in what ii now not only a lasnry, but in many respects a necessity, wbo cannot afford to build and fill an ice house. Suppose only eighty persons woold take Ice. paving, say. 5 cents a day, or 30 cents per week, Uniting the season to four months The aggregate for tb. season woold amount to th. snug sum of three hundred and eighty four dollars, to say notliiug about the supply to outsiders and others, besides regular cus tomers.

Appearances indicate tbat tbe troubles and excitement in the South will end in a Southern Convention, which will recommend, and probably insist on an amendment to tbe constitution in regard to the rendition of fugitive slaves and, if pos, sible, settle tbe question of slavery io the territories. Tbe first proposition will meet with but little difficulty, as tbe North con cedes the rights of tbe South on this subject, and will concur in any reasonable amendment. Tbe greatest trouble will be in regard to tbe extension of slavery, by their introduction into the territories. This will, probably, re suit in the establishment of another geogra phical compromise line, or tb. revival of tbe old Missouri Compromise line. I he New York Timet suggests the propri ety of the Goveromeut becoming responsible for tbe loss of all fugitive slaves, which pro position bas attracted some attention South as well as North. South Carolina is. per haps, tbe only State that is unwilling to submit tbeir grievances to a convention, but she must succumb to Virginia, Kentucky, Marylaud, and other border Stales. f3f Railroad Improvement. Tbe Penn sylvania Railroad has just completed a new rouud bouse for engines, at Harrisburg Tbis company is putting up capacious and elegant depots, warehouses, and other build ings, at every important point on tbeir road Tbe Northern Central Railroad, 138 miles in length, extending from Baltimore to tbis place, its Northern terminus, bas, as yet, no passenger or freight depot of its own, al though its receipts for tonnage, from this point, amounts to between two and three thousand dollars per day, or more than from any other place outside of Baltimore. The Sunbury & Erie Road, which bas its Eastern terminus at this place, connecting at tbis point witb the Northern Central and the Shamokio Valley, is io no better condition. This CDinpany is, however, making prepara tions to put up a building for a passenger depot and ticket office. Tbis road, when completed, will be 280 miles long, and it now doing a paying busiuess, notwithstanding an uncompleted link of over 130 miles intervenes nearly midway between tb. two points of Bunbury and Krie. . ar. awar. that both roads bav. bad, and still bav., many difficulties to surmount, but tb. business, both present and pros pec tive, it such, that longer delay in making t'lese necessary improvements is inexcusable. KtKIIVRY STORES, We copy tbe following from the Sbamokin Itcyitter, of tbis week. Wa ought, perhaps to make great allowances for tbe exhilarating effects of the recent election, but then this extravaganza is a most tremendous crow- too much, we think, even for the lungs of a live Republican of friend John's dimensions. W. know tbat, the winds sweep down the mountain gorges, through tbe streets of Sha. mokin, with tremendous force, and, perhaps, ambitious humanity should nnt be deemed too eulpable in endeavoring to imitate, if oat to excel, nature io its most terrific efforts. But bear what the editor of the Register says of oor merchants : "Tbe Sunbury papers are cracking up their Stores as tbe places to buy cheap goods. W. a few days since examined tbe prices in seve ral or lumr boasted cheap stores, and having an advantage of over twenty years experience in buying and selling goods, we soon came to the conclusion that we have a Hoover, a Fegely, a Weimer, a Clark and a Heilner, tbat can undersell them both in quality and prices. Our Hardware and Drug Stores are upon an equality witb theirs, and Mrs. Sbissler, Mrs. Eaton and Mrs. Moore sella and trims bonnets which will make the home liest female look handsome at chorcb, and be pretty ones will be beaa-ideals. Can Sunbury beat that." Beat what, friend John ? The story or the stores T If the former is meant, we collapse at once, but if yon refer to our stores, we can only say that we have stores in this place that could stock a half dozen village stores like those of Rhamokin, without making any apparent diminution in tbeir stock. Tbey do not attempt to undersell "in quality," but endeavor to excel. As to prices, it is well koown tbat wholesale bouses can afford to sell much cheaper than small retail shops. Th. merchants of Sbamokin, we know are clever and obliging folks, but they are also modest, and would make no pretensions to such extravagant ideas as are ascribod to them by tbe Register. 3T The Age of Hcmbuo. This is a theme upon wbub the press has already said much, but apparently not enough to prevent sharp ers aod swindlirs from fleecing large num bers out of their bard earnings. Lottery schemes and gift circulars find their wav through tbe mails to every bamlet in tbe Union, and we regret to see tbe press, in some instances, aiding tbese imposters in swindling their readers. A Wilmington lot tery vender offers us what ha calls a rare chance, and gravely informs us that be will send us a package of tickets "tbat will cer. taioly have all the numbers necessary to draw the prize of $35,000," the only trouble being to bave tbem all on one ticket, and of tbis there is about one chance in twentv thousand. Tbe circular proceeds to sav : "la tbis Grand Lottery any one packaee can draw an amount equal to SC0.C00. and whatever prize may fall to your share, will be sent by draft oo your nearest Bank, or in gold by Adams' Kxpress. Oor greatest de sire is to send it to some oue wbo will bave oo objection to give it publicity, so tbat we may reap some benefit from it in oor sales of tickets. Should the package we telector you not draw at Uant $2,000, ice will, after the drawings, tend you another package, fret of exprett, in one of our extra lulttriet." W. certainly should be most ungrateful in refusing to give publicity to such unbounded geoerosity, aod therefore give it in advance- fearing, if we waited for tbe prize, it might com. too late, especially as the same gene rous offer is made to every purchaser of tickets.

It is re ported tbat William R. Calhoun, who baa returned from France and resigued bis posi tion as Secretary of Legation at Paris, bring3 assurances of tbe Emneror's willing nss to enter into commercial relations with South Carolina, and tbat a fleet of steam gun-boats, capable of navigating ou South ern waters, is now being built in tbe French dockyards. In support of this, mention is made of the sale of the Virginia canal to French capitalists, but conservatives say there is no more cause for alarm in tbis than in the proprietorship of a greater portion of the Illinois Central and the Erie railroads by tbe English. Yet there is reason to be lieve tbat some understanding exists between tbe would-be secessionists aod L.oui8 rsapo leoo, aud tbat Mr. Faulkner bas encouraged it. Herb is a forlorn Breckinridger. The Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser, of the 10th of November, looks npon Mr. Lincoln's elec tion as follows : "Henceforth, tbe Government, with all its patronage and power, will be in the hands of tbe enemies of the Southern States. We will bave no voice in tbe election of Preji dent and Vice President no voice in the appointment of Cabinet officers oo voice in tbe appointment of foreign ministers aod cousuls no voice in the appointment of judges, attorneys, and clerks of the Supreme, a .4 Tliat;.. l'nfl,lo nf Ilia ITrtitMi!

" Statr no voice io tbe appointment of post masters and route agents, who will permeate every nook aod corner of the country, and mav be Abolitionists no voice io the impo sition of tariffs and taxes, which will be luid by Northern avarice to foster Northern induetrv bv Glebing from tbe South her bard- earned wealth no voice in tbe foreign policy of the Government, wbicb will be directed to extend aod fortify tbe Northern States, and to circumscribe, weaken, and tioally to cruse tbe South. m "riencefortb, the Abolitionists will under take to govern States." Now, if we had the ricbt to utter a soothing word to Messrs Shorter and Read, ef the Advertiser, we should say tbey bave begun to cry a long while before they are hnrt. Do they not know that if tbey stay in the Union, under Mr. Lincoln's Administration, they stand more chance for office than if they go out in tbe cold ? Of course, be can appoint nobody io tbe South but Southern meu ; of course, all Southern men will not decliue bis favors ; and, what is much more to tbe point, do not our Southern friends know tbat there is Quite as much chance for them in io 13 48 choice, lit Elector. California aud A FEMALE SLAVE STEALER. Yesterday tbe Mayor of tbis city received a telegraphic diepatcb from Cbambersburg, directing bim to arrest a wbit. woman and black man, wbo would reach bere on tbe Cumberland Valley train. Tbe parties came from tbe vicinity of Hagerstowu, Maryland, and bad through tickets from tbat point to Philadelphia. I ue dispatch, allnougn from an authentic source, made no specific charge, and tbe supposition bere was that the woman bad abducted a negro. 1 be Mayor aod Cbiet of Police proceeded to the depot, aod oo tbe arrival of the train recognized tbe womao and ber dusky companion. Tbe whole ap pearance of tbe latter unmistakably indicated bis slave origin. Tber. being no slave Com missioner in this city, and tbe Mayor fearing tbat tbe arrest of tbe parties would beforcibly resisted by tbe crowd of colored people con gregated at tbe depot, and give rise to a scene ot disorder and violence, very properly direct ed tbe Chief to accompany tbe pair to Phila delphia aod make the arrest there. In tbe meeatiine tb. Mayor telegraphed to tbe Chief of Police in that city to be at the Rail- road depot on the arrival of tbe evening train from Ii arris burg. When tbe cars reached Philadelphia Chief Waterbury took the luei tives io euslody, aod witb tbe assistance of soma officers who where in waiting, conveyed tbem to a station nouse, wner. they were locked op. Siuc. writing tb. above w. bav. learned some further particulars relative to tbis dark affair. This forenoon th. father of tb. wo mao arrived here and called upon tba Mayor Ue states tbat sba is married, and left a bus- band and lour children, wno reside near liaerstowo. She married against tbe wiBbes of ber parents, and lived very unhappily with ber husband, whom she deserted a abort time aeo and want to ber father a bouse, lie re fused to receive ber, and sb. was obliged to retoro borne. A few aays ago she packed op sucb articles of wearing apparel and household furniture as she could clandestine ly tak. witb tb. ber, and secured tbe services of a colored man, a stave belonging to one or ber relatives, wbo stole a borse aod wagon, with wbicb ha conveyed ber and tb. goods to llageretowo, wbere tb. woman purchased two tbrougn tickets to 1 nilacelpnia and in doched tbe slave to accompany ber to tbat city. Tbe rather left in tb. ,noon train to day for Philadelphia, wilb tba intention of taking biadaoebtar back to her home. H. seemed to b. much distressed, and keenly felt tne disgrace oroogot upon tb. family by tba indiscretion of bis child. Tb. parties are In good circamsiaocea and bieblv respect ed in tba neighborhood where tbey reside. W. presume tb. fugiliv. slave, wbo aided aod accompaoed th. woman io bar flight, will b. returned to its proper owner.

Tbe Boston 'Transcript bas full particulars of tbe return of vv ood, the " 1 ankeu school teacher. Tbe facts are as follows : There came passengers oo tbe Sooth Caro lina, Mr. Wm. C. Wood and Mr. Blodgett.a produco dealer. Mr. Wood, it appears, went South for the purpose of teaching. He was a graduate of liarvard College. He was de stined for Four Mile branch, Uuruwell Dis trict, S. C. He took passage in tbe cars from Charleston for bis destination, in coin, pany with Mr. Blodgett. Uo the way, inad vertently, be expressed his preference for Lincoln as President. An iudividuul was noticed, iutenlly listening to his conversation, and at tbe next stopping place wbere the ears tarried for three quarters or ao hour, be was waited upon bv a committee, wbo ques tioned bim as to bis politics, but he declined to give tbem any satisfaction. Mr. Wood thought no more or tbe ques tioning to which he tad been subjected, aod coctinued on bis journey. Oo arriving at "Four Mile Branch," the place was foond to be terribly excited, a telegraphic despatch having probably informed the citizens of tbe opioioos of tbe new comer among tbem. He was immediately waited upon by a commit tee, wbo told bim it would be impossible to permit his stay in the place, and advising bim to leave as bis best course. Tbey, however, did not insist oo bis immediate departure, and offered to defray the entire expenses of bis return to this city. Mr. Wood concluded tbat be would retrace bis steps without delay. He experienced no insults in tbe cars on the way to Charleston, except from a few rough customers, aa an officer bad been provided to protect bim On reaching that city, at tbe suggestion of friends, be occupied apartments in the uoaro House, tbe eight previous to tbe sailing of tbe steamer, tbat being tbe safest retreat during tbe existing excitement. Tbe next morning an officer of the city came down witb Mr. Wood to tbe steamer, aod put bim safely on board. Tba produce dealer, so rar as we could learn, effected the object of bis southern visit.

' Tiierk is no opposition more tryiog than tbat of a Union man, standing up in the Cot ton States for tbe Union ; therefore, let us do all honor to such men as Crittenden of Ken tucky, and Gardner of Georgia. Io a late ar ticle in Gardner's Constitutionalist, be states a great truth as follows : "But immediate accession would be injuri ous to all, and disastrous to many interests io Georgia. Yet Georgia could secede with as little detriment to ber immediate interest, and to ber permanent prosperity, as any otber Southern State. Tbe fact is, tbey all require time and preparation for so important a step tbe Cottoo States not less than tbe border States. The precioitate rush of one State out of the Union, when no others were ready to join, or to follow, would be destructive to tbat State injare her sister Southern States strengthen tbe cause of tbe common enemy and give bim an advautage not easily regain ed."
