'The Koni, Ttfbmpson and Naff party of this city, seem to be resolved to commit murder before, the day of electionperhaps in the hope that such an act will intimidate the Americans and keep them from voting but, if such be their design, we apprize Ihem that it will fail, for the Americans will be on hand on the 7th of November, prepar ed and resolved to carry the election by a hahdsotne maiori As the ruffians passed down Baltimore Street on Friday night last, in procession, to a public meeting, they saluted ou.romce With arroans. hisses, curses and veils-. As these did no injury to any one but the black- ?fuards who uttered tiiein, they did not in errupt us in our business, and were disre garded. On returning from the meeting hrwi themselves to harmless expressions of ill SUUUl icii u btiwn. mo vunjr uiu uw i.uu- thrir disapprobation. Whilst opposite our bffice five pistol balls were fired into the tended to kilt some of the workmen enga ged in their occupations in full view of the windows. Fortunately the balU passed too high to effect their dbject. No person was hurt, though one of .the compositors came ,Very near being shot. i Now, although this daring outrage was commi'ted without the slightest' provoca tion, we have no doubt that it will be sta ted, "ami proved too, if necessary, that the men in our office commenced the assault for testimony can be had to prove anything that is required Such outrageous procee dings are what might naturally be expoct- 'ti fmm a nnrfv IpH hv aiirh mn a f?niin- try Thompson, Konig, Petty Naff, and oth ers of like stamp, and backed by foreign convicts who have been transported to our country for their crimes. And such a par ty is struggling to get the political power of Maryland, and of the Union. They simply ask, that the natives of the soil shall submit to the rule of cut-ihroats, bullies and rioters so that all law, nil religion, all de cency shall be trampled in the dust. But the natives prize law and order, and the exercise of their religion too highly, to per mit themselves to be deprived of these hless ings by such desparadoes as attempted to assassinate some of the hands of this office on Friday night last. Now we warn these rowdies to lay aside their pistols and Bowie knives, and to con duct themselves peaceably on the day of election ; for they may be assured, that, iff they undertake to use their weapons, they will be met in a spirit which will make them regret that they did not conform to law and order. The Americon party de sire nothing but fair play that every legal Voter shall be enabled to deposit his ballot, and that tranquility shall prevail ; but they will not submit to be brow-beaten out of their rights. On this their opponents may rely ; and. it is for them to decide the course that shall be pursued We shall deeply re gret if there be any disturbance,and we trust that every American will refrain from do ing any thing to produce excitement. If, under these ciscumstances, the rowdies and bullies of the foreign party shall commence r riot, let every man of them be marked and marked well. Ballvmore Clipper, Oct. i. News from Japan How the English are , Received. The following article from the London Times of The 14th October, will be read at this time with considerable interest: , It appe.a'Ts that Her Majesty's ship Sy bille, bearing the broad pennant of . Hon. Qommodore Elliott, departed lately from the Chinese station on a cruise toward the north, arid as she was likely to touch on the Japa'ncse coast, and the services of a real Japanese interpreter happened to be attain able, this assistance was duly secured. Mr. Adonia Rickmartz, the functionary in question, though by extraction a Japanese, seems to have been for some time employ- ed in the office of the Friend of China, one of our colonial journals ; but upon applica tion being made to him, he evinced his readiness to return to Japan in the Sybille, and make himself useful as an interpreter when occasion required. To the conditions thus arragned a stipulation was added"on behalf of the journal referred to, that Mr. Rickmartz should be at liberty to furnish it with some accounts of the voyage, and accordingly the Friend of China published a certain communication giving us the view of which we speak. That it is very exten sive is more than we can say, but on such a subject every piece of information has its On the 28th of April last, the Sybille was off Hakodadi, a port on the Japanese coast, -with the Hornet and Bittern at anchor near, and, as usual, a boat put off from the shore to inquire into' the character and designs of the stranger vessel.' Three Japaneseof ficialsj with a Dutch inter; reter, were pres ently on board, and an interview ensued, which was followed next day by some boats loads of fresh provisions, offered at extreme ly low prices. On the same day, which was Sunday, the Commodore, with most of the officers and the interpreter, went on shore, and in some respects, were allowed considerable liberty of movement The "party was permitted to walk in groups of twos and throes through 'any street of the town at their pleasure, nor was any opposi tion offered to their visiting temples, or as cending an eminence commanding a good prospect of the whole town. Here, howev er, their opportunities ended, for they were not allowed to enter any house, and all such purchases as they desired to moke had to Particular stall, to which the f if bght from the shops. Near ly all the shops, moreover, were shut up, so that there was not much to be seen The parties were accompanied during the wnoie or tneir promenade by Japanese po hcemen, the Commodore's suue particu . lar, being" attended by a Mandarin of qual "Vr A" th,al cou,dLbe "Ported, therefore, of Hakodadi, was, that it appeared slightly built, the housos being mostly of wood. Three days fater, however, the Commo dore and suite, aain landed, for the pur pose of having an interview, bv aPDointmmi with the Governor of the place, and here we obtained a slight glimpse of the la pen esn interior, the tjovernor s nouse was approached through a temple, between the first gate of which and the entrance jof the first room of the house, about - 70 guards werfe ranged on two -sides. Those on one side were armed with spears seven feet in length, while those opposite apparently earned firelocks of some description or otb er, though, as the locks were covered up the interpreter, who, at this stage of the af fair, shows some closeness ot observation remarks that they could riot tell if they were flint or match. Between the first and the second room were arranged other rows of guards similar to the nrsi, and then ap peared the Hall of Audience. On the left of this hall was placed a long seat for the officers of the Sybille, a separate seat being reserved for the Commodate and his Secre tary, and opposite was his Excellency the Governor, behind whom were ranged some Japanese officers in "due order. In these features there is no great novelty, but it is noticeable t hat a reporter, described as a Japanese "stooping on the floor with a copy book," was present to exercise his functions. In the conversation which ensued, the Gov ernor asked how I jng the war ( e. between Kussia and the Allies.) was likely to. con unue, and also tor intelligence respecting the civil war in China, and in particular whether the rebels had taken Fekin. I hen followed some talk about coal, which "sev eral of tho Japanese officers said they had never seen :" and the interview concluded with warm protestations of cordiality on the part ot the Uovemor. i Such is the purport of the most tecent account received from the Empire ot Japan, corresponding in mou of rts features with those previously obtained, and showing that the jealousy of foreigners,- though not ac companied with any acts of hostility or even of positive inhospitality, remains una bated. Usages not dissimilar existed in the neighboring empire of China, where strangers were regarded with similar, though less rigorous suspicions, although, as in our own case, they might conduce largely, bv their dealings, to the commer cial prosperity of the country. But the Chinese have now broken away consider ably from their ideas of seclusion. Not to mentioathe course of the civil war in that empire, which, obscure as it may be in some respects, is evidently tending to important innovations, vast numbers of Chinese have emigrated to the gold regions, and jostled with the minors of other countries in the pursuit of gain. Japan, however, still main tains its exclusiveness, and presents the singular spectacle of an isolated State a mong the busy communities of the world. A CHINESE MUNCHAUSEN. A Chinaman was arrested lately in New Orleans for a petty crime and brought be fore Recorder Bright, and g-iTe a very cur ious history of his life. He stated that he was but forty-five years of age, and at the age of eighteen he was beheaded in China for rebellion; ten years after he was flayed alive for an attempt to assinate the Empe ror of China, Moon Sing, who is the son of the King or the King of the sun; and five years after be was cut to pieces because he was accused of murder. He was then imprisoned nineteen years and had his tongue torn out for lying, which is consid ered a very serious crime in the Celestial Empire. After coming out of prison he was banished from the country for making sport of a Mandarin during the feast of the Lanterns. He embarked on board of an American man-of-war, and was in the bat tle of th-? Nile, under Commodore Stock ton, where a cannon ball "terminated hi-" eventful career, and now he found himself arrested in New Orleans for the crime of petty larceny ! The recorder thought it was time for him to rest from bis labors, and so sent Mr. Chinaman to the work house for the next ninety days. In ma king oath to the above statement, he swore by one of the earthen spittoons for Chi nese all swear by their earthen ware, and by nothing higher. THE LAST OF THE RANDOLPHS A NEPH EW OF JOHN RANDOLPH. A Southern correspondent of the Home Journal sends it the tollowing interesting sketch : "During tho summer of 1854,1 had some business transactions which called me to tho county of Charlotte, in lower Virginia. A mild and lovely Sabbath morning found me seated in one of the comfortably cush ioned pews of the village church at the Court House. As it wanted a few minu tes to the hour of service, my eye wander ed over the large" and respectful looking audience assembled, and was finally at tracted by a very eccentric individual, who was just entering a rather aged man, tall, of dark complexion, long white hair wa ving plentifully over his shoulders, and an equally venerable beard flowing on his breast. His step was active and graceful, his form erect and manly. But his pecu liar actions we're in striking contrast to his dignified appearance. At first I thought only eccentric, but a few moments of furth er observation proved to me that be was insane ; ' - . ' - "Immediately on entering the pew he knelt towards the w ill, crossed himself, and, apparently,' repeated a prayer. He then sat down, drew out a white cambric, delicately perfumed, wiped his brow, re moved his gloves, stroked his hair and beard, took up h s Bible, kissed it and read, examined his cane, used his handkerchief again and all the time keeping himself in constant motion. 1 say all the time, but, occasionally, he was passive for a few minutes his attention,, apparently, arous ed by some truths from the minister but these times were rare. His. countenance assumed all kinds of expressions. Con tempt, alarm, pleasure, earnestness, sorrow and anger, fitted across it in rapid succes sion. It reminded me more of what chil dren call 'making faces' than anything else. " ' " M" . - "After the services were over, I ascer tained that this gentleman was no other than the nephew of John Randolph', of Roanoke. He calls himself Sir John St George Randolph, and is sole heir to his celebrated uncle. Randolph, himself, re marked with bit terness, d uring his last days, that their blood flowed in the veins of but one single scion, arid he was deaf dum and tnsame, bo. much for. human greatness. Tts? subject of this sketch although physically, and now mentally, defective bad a mind cultivated jn the highest degree. In his youth he was sent to Paris, where, under the protection of a celebrated abbe, he received a thorough education. Having the capacity to re ceive ancfthe wealth to com n and, no pains were spared id the improvement of his in tellectual faculties. But it was labor lost; tor, on returning to bis home in Virginia. he met with and loved a young lady, whom he addressed, but was refused on account oi nis pnysicai detects, un oecoming a- ware of the truth he was plunged in the most profound grief, from which he wl at last aroused, but insane. -ne nas considerable weaitn, wnicn is managed by his friends ; and, being harm. less, he comes and goes as he pleases, and is gratified in all his whims. Wrecked as bis mind is, he still commands respect; and nis peculiar manners do not attract the at tention, of his acquaintances, or excite mer riment, as one would suppose. SPIRIT BARRELS.

Young men who have Injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or si school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impossible. and destroys both mind and body What a pity that avoungman, the hope of his country, and the darling of his parents, .hould be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life: by the consequences of deviating from the path ot nature, and indulging In a certain secret habit. Suc persons, before contemplating MARXIAGE, Should reflect that a sound mind and body are t& most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness.
