S. TomPKINs, Esq., announce him as a candidate " to fill the vacancy occasioned by the inelligibility of Maj. Jonx C. ALLEY. In consequence of the election having been or dered so soon, the 3rd and 4th of January next, we have been requested to make the above editorial an nouncement. CONGRESSIONAL, As yet nothing of iinportance has tra-spired at Washington, either in the Senate or hlouse of Ilepre sentatives. The different oflicers under the adminis tration have made their respective reports. The Secretary of War recommends, anong other things, stronger fortifications along the A tlantic coast. He thinks the different forts shonld he rendered itmpreg nable against any force that might be sent against them. The Secretary of the Navy deesn it expe dient, in fact necessary, that flogging should he again resorted to in that department. Senators and Itepresentatives are contiinu:idly taking "their seats to-day." On the Ith inst.. several eudogies were delivered in the Sentate, in honor of D.%-IEt. IVeIERI. Anong themn are a few chaste and beautiful reiutrks from our Senator, lion. A. P1. E:TLF.ta "(CA.orN, C(t..tv and WvUnrr.a, p(ays Senator BUT.Ea in the course of his remarkp,) like PITT, Fox, and Bt-aKr, have made a picture on outr history that will be looked upon as its cultninating splendor. They were luminaries that in many points of view, especially diflered from each other, as one star dif fereth from another ; but they were all star.< of the first magnitude. Distance cannot detroy, nor canl time diminish, the simple splendor of their light for the guidance and instruction of anu a'dmsirig pos terity." " HONOR IS TIlE SUBJECT OF MY STORY." Tn't last and most efctuaI resource by a crelil"r against hiis debtor, is an appeal to his honor. Where threats of law, punishnent, and a jail have prove inadeqiate it obtaininag satisfeclion of debts, a nmere intination of staipitg a mark of infatmy upon the fraudnlent debtur Iavs restlted in full paynt..aa of all arrears.

Th'le greal Fox oftena bragged of the amanner int whtice achelated his usurers. rTe antecdote is sottewltmt as follows: Fox, although a Ge-nius, was very poo~r and always ta debt. The Jews, his e-redlitors, called (et hima fi paymaent. " Alh, my dear friends,'' says Fox. I " ad mit the prinaciple, I owe yatn money, bitt whlat tit: is this, hent I anm goeing upoan bussiness ?"

Poor Fox, htowever, paid dlear fair htis pleasantry.

Tua expcdition fitted nut by the Utnitetd States for Japatt is exciting mativersal inaterest. Osar own Gov ercnmentt, althought more nearly coneernted in the immtnediate fate of that expedition, canntot be said to be more anuxiouas in regard to its final reslts thact thec Eturpeana nationts. Indeed, it is a matter of the greatest imxportne thtat thec commtstercial anad mercant tile world should take anay and every mteasusre to p irote'ct thteir interest, and particetilarly thaose personts entrutstedl therewitha. rTe G~eograpehical position of Japan, howrever, being directly opposed to thsat of our possession ont thte Paucifia coast renders it necessatry thtat atvessails passing betweens or thereabouts isuld be protected.. It is said that hunsdre-ds of our whmale fleets are obligedl antnally to-pass through the straits of Sangar, near the ishandls of Niphion anad Jesso. If heowever by ship. wreck, stress of weathter, or anty otheer unefortuniate concutrrece of circmanstantees, thec illfated crew arc cast uthxin thtese shoeres, intstead of receiving thmat laos piality anad assisttace generally met with atntong other niatioens, thtey are immtetdiately seized, cantin ttel, and cialher put to death, or shust up for life ins eages and' exhiaited lifke b-ests of thte foarest. Thte spirit of the age, inaformned ase it is. and con tintually akinsg rapid strides towards refinemnent and ecivilizatioen caanot ntor will nset longer hook suach a state of allhirs, anad we are more thtan pleased to see ouar G;overtnment takintg thte lead againast a policy so shocking tso thte entlighitensd views of the nineteeantha century as theat exhibited by the Japattese islands. The area of Japana is estimated at 266,000 ssjnare niles, ande it. poputlat ion 501,000.000O. "'Te Emperor's araiy c-onsistR of 100,00)0 toot and 20,000 horse. Thle.

The iliregoinag items, for whicht, we are indebtedc to acn arsiche utpon the SEumpire of Japan" puzbisheds itt the last numaber of tion, an.1 military force, it is by no mcans an insig nificant territory. The same article gives a most satisfactory and lucid account of the expedition, its spirit, intentions, &c. The principal object, as set forth in President Fu.Lut on *s letter to the Emperor of Japan, is to ob tain from that Emperor "permission to purchase from his subjcets the necessary supplies of coal whirl our steamers in their outward and inward voyages to and from India may reqlitre." "'The ubjects of the present expedition to Japan are entirely peaceful, and simply to offer propositions to tle Japanese which would be benefici-Al to both nas tions. The exercise of no force whatever is contem plated." Such we have no doubt is the present in tention of our Government, and such we suppose its present policy. But if the Japnnese, as it is stupposedi should refuse to concede this uninane regnest, what then is to be done ? They mtust unquestionably he forced, and war would not only be necessary, but justifiable. "THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA," WE have been envrinr the Charleston- bound pa tion of our fellow-citizens for some time, and have been wishing that we had the time and the cash at our disposal, in sufficient quantities to enable us, with the rest, to make a short visit, to our sombre but agreeable metropolis. To confess the honest truth, one of the chiefest desires which had entered our im agination, amid these Charleston yearnings, was to witness that "1 restoration wf the Legiinate DransaL9' ,o bravely announced a month or two since, as des, tined to mark the winter of Fifty-Two 'and Three. And just to think how we shoud have been disap pointed ! The la.t " Literary Ga:ette,'' while speak ing of Miss Je A fl., netally publi,.hes to the world as follows: A Juliet, she was charming, but towards the con clusion of the play, and especially in the scene in which she takes the teauporalry poison. the effect of 3Miss Dean's fine nerting was considenatilly marred by the wretcliedneys of the stage iacce:'sories.

Sir:-In reply toyour letter of the 26tt ulit. in relation to the.asignment of Land Warrants, .1 have to inforn you, that where a soldier dies possessed of a Watritrbeing in the nature of real estate, descend.s-to the heirs. A certificate issuted under the seakof the. Court having pro bate jurisdiction, stating tho~fnet of the death of the soldier, and nanies of his only heirs at law, will enable said heirs to locate the Warrant, or sell and assign the sime. Jf any of the heirs are minors they must net-by their guardian, duly appointed, and an older, authorizing him to sell the specilic Warrait., must be granted by the Court. A copy ofall-the proceedings had before the court, duly certified, must accompany the Warrant, to enable tie party interested to di pose of the same. In regard to the assignment being made on a separate piece of paper, I have to state, that where it is possible,- that office will require as signments to be made in conformity with the rules and regulations for the assignment of War rants and Loations, a copy of which is herewith enclosed " (dated March 22d, 1852,)" but if the back of the Warrant has become defaced, by un proper asnignnients -or otherwise, AssignmetItS niade on a separate piee of paper, properly at tached, will be recognized; pruvided sutlirietmi evidence nppears on the same, that said assign ment was made in good'fnith.

PROFIMG BY.EXPERIENCE, It is well known that Engl:nd is not very friendly to the instittition of slavery, and that she expended a large amount of money in her mis guided philanthropy on that subject. She has Ieen her error; she now feels the full force and eiect oflier follyand the London Timaes, a pa per whose sympathieis have always been cnlisted against the institution, has conmiderably modi tied its tone. In one of its recent articles on the subject orecurs the tMiowitig paragraph, "Our legis;ation has been dictated by the pre sumed nieeraities of'the African slave. A fmier the - Emianeipation Act,a large charge was assessed upoi the colony in aid of civil and religious in stitutions for the beliefit. of the enfranchised ne oro), and it w-as hoped that these colored sub jects of the British Crown would soon be assim ilated to their fellow citizens. Fron all the. in. formation which reaches us, no less tham from the visible probabilities of the case, we are comi strained to believe tfiat these hopes have b.-en falsified. The negro has not acquired with hik freedom any habits of industry or morality. Ilis independeice is but little better than that of the uicaptured brute.
