' _ *' [From Vie Alta Californian.] It appears quite likely that, after all our care in making treaties with Japan, tho work is wastell aad w?l have to bc dono over again. We have treated with the' wrong mah: "The tycoon, it seems, "'ttnot the tycoon, but"somebody else-a sort ol co uutev to it -tycoon, whom : the diamios and their : ' subjects call thc shogoon, and who, according to the Japan Times, is only tho ''generalissimo," and the '"fourth subject in tho .'.Ginpiro." Thc tycoou unipris tho civil executive ridership of Japan, which is similar in.its functions to those vested in the Sing pf Prussia or the Emperor of Russia. These , functions properly rest in tho mikado, who is also " the spiritual ruler, or pope", of Japan. In short, the mikado is the spiritual and temporal emporor of Japan. He is acknowledged, as such by alj the diinnos. and so reverenced and obeyed by tho people. The shogoon, or counterfeit tycoon," wi.h whom the United States, England und france h&vo treated, is but a subject, without authority to bind any part of Japan but his own-let us call it,, daimioship for' want of a better name. As "generalissimo" he occupies a position toward the mikado and the empire about like that which Gon. Grant holds,m this country.- Of course this office, 0 wiilctris designated by tao Japanese by thc word shogoon. confers no authority to bind the empire by treaties. The treaty-making power is vested in the mikado and his. ministers.. ' The civil war which has recently been raging be? tween Choisi u, dajjnuo. of Nagat?, and the sho? goon, was brought about by the attempt of tho latter to enforce the stipulations of his treaties cupon the subjects of Chorsiu, who as he bad a per ' feet right under the laws of his country, rebelle d. and defended his1 territory by force of aims. Iu ? deed, as a loyal subject of the mikado, it was Choi 1 ' kin's duty to oppose the usurping tycoon. He did oppose and defeat him ; and quite . recently S a tan? ina and Choisiu have entered into an alliance to oppose any further usurpations .from tho Yedo Government. Into this alliance the- prospect now is that very nearly all the d&iinios, great and v a mall will soon enter, and then, of course, no part of tho empire of Japan will be under treaty ar _. -rangements with the western-powers, but tho sin? gle daimioship of the shogoon at Yedo. This in? cludes,-we -believe, th<) .throe towns-Yokohama, : i?anagawa (which i? on the opposite side of tho - . bay from Yokohama) and Nagasaki. Stotbbashi, the present shogoon, fully comprc fiends .the situation, and it ?B behoved that ho will -surrender all pretentious to the tycoonship as soon as the mikado can bo prevailed upon to take - upon himself their active duties, which the spiritu . al emperors have neglected for more than a eentu G T3_, and which, from that causo, have been exer? cised by the ahogoons. To effect this change, " ?"- Stotsbashi has 'called a conference of daimios (or princes) to meet him some time next spring. To .this corrieren co the foreign ministers will also bo invited, and, in all probability, new treaties will ' result from it, in which thc mikado, instead of the shogoon, w?l figure as the high contracting party on tho part of Japan ; and that the daimios will all acquiesce in what he docs. A correspondent of the Yokohama Times, writing from Nagasaki, Jan. 1, 1867, states that it is the wish of the present sho '; goon to turn over his treaty business to the mikado, j ? and that ho will m ak o an earnest effort to induce ~'(ZUtl that potentate, erelong, to emerge from hisin ?: . glorious obscurity and take up tho burden of gov '_. ornmeht which his ancestors carried, and which - only tho folly and laziness of some of them ever allowed.to lap.se* on tho shoulders of the shogoon." These political movomente, if consummated, will .. .ead the civil wars, and greatly enlarge thc trade of ."' tua empire with the treaty powers of th? west. .ni .-TV "" A Strange Story. ?' -We copy the fallowing from tho New York Times: J"Ch^o,ot the most extraordinary stenos ot married : lire we over hoard of bas just been mode pu bbc. . ,;..ZDie'ftcidenl8'are more improbable than a novelist - :.. or'dramatist, with a strict regard for his reputa? tion, would dare to use. ' The story, as it original - ; ly appear od, was that a Mr. Wight, of New Albany, Indiana, had married a Miss Chamberlain, having * ? Joe-tobtained:a divorce from his first wife on tho -fl?hVevidence of his second. The first wife then -acted as bridesmaid at Miss Chamberlain's mar ii^go,;standing there, as we aro told, 'like a living ': corpse.' "The 'curse and blight of the Almighty' were*; invoked by tho agonized reporter upon tho newly married - couple. . Sib* Those are not pleasant things to hear, and Mr. .- Wright has come forward with a long statement, . in wbi ch the aseort ion s of the reporter are contra dieted; but a narrativo in evorv way more strange * und remar kable is subs titufced for them. The hus? band tells his own story, and it far transcends tho wildcat drcamB of Defoe or Sue. In 1851 Mr. Wright returned to this country from Europe in order to marry a lady to whom he was-engaged. - He carno soonor than he intended, because , the -lady's parents and ah* her family had died and left her unprotected. -She Was twenty-three years old '-' - and afflicted with a nervous disease, Which her mother described as hysteria.

DEATHS FBOM CnxoBOFoaai.-The April number '"' of the Medical News and Library relates four cases of death from the inhalation of chloroform. Thc .- first, was of a lady, twenty years of agc. bring in . . Bloomington, Illinois. She was apparently in good health, but suddenly expired after .inhaling about a drachm of chloroform given for tho rober of pain . in the extraction of teeth. Three days previously - She had inhaled chloroform and had six teeth ex I? tr?cted without any bad effect. The second caso ?S ?as on the occasion of the performance of an opera? tion by Professor Hamdton, of New York. The patient was a robust woman.. The third case was of aman in tho hospital at Toronto,. Canada, to whom chloroform' was administered preparatory to tying the external iliac arte ry. The fourth coso ,-occ?rred in St. Mary's Hospital, London . It was that of a stableman, to whom chloroform was ad? ministered to facilitate the reduction of a disloca? ted thumb. This and tho first mentioned case aro additional proofs of the correctness of the state? ment made a days ago in. our article on chloro? form, that, by far the largest proportion of deaths has occurred in the most trivial operations. .C.- - [Philadelphia Ledger.

Rninan America. Considering tho largo number of adventurous voyage? around tho world, anti tho by no means few books of navigators which treat of om* now Russian possessions, tho sum of information lntoly publishca-coiiccrniiifr tliem is surprisingly meagre'. Tho Senate which ratified tho treaty of purchase hi nine dave after it was lirst broached, appears to have acted upon tho theory that any acquisition of territory is in itself a good thing, and that it was entirely safe to "go it blind' on any scheme involv? ing an expansion of our boundaries. Wo are not without hopes that the experiment may in this in? stance bc justified by tho results. Tho ulterior ends which doubtless'influenced in largomeasu.ro the decision of tho Senate, have been little consid? ered as yet. but boro undoubtedly a closo relation to thc ultimate acquisition of British America, ami thc absorption by tho United States of tho whole North American continent, Mexico excepted. The peninsular portion of Russian America was first discovered in 1733, by tho Russian Comman? der Behring, whoso miine lias boon immortalized by thc strait of icy waters which separates Amer? ica from Asia. Iii tho century and a quarter which I has since elapsed, thc regions lying on the Auieri I can side of Behring's Strait Laird boen visited and elaborately described by many navigators. Com? mander Billings visited thom iu 1787, Vancouver in 1790-93, Landsdorff in 18U2, Lisianski in 1805, Zotzebue in 1815-13, and again in 1823-2G, Wcan gell in 1823, L?tke iu 1820-20, Kittlitz at tho same I period, and Enuaun in 1829-30. All theso were I Russian voyagers; and tho full account which tho j chronicles of their voyages yield of the posacs I sions now to become our owu, oro due to the cn I tcrprisc, sagacity and in c? Uigonco of the Russian j Government. Besides theso Russian navigators, Captain Cook I visited the Aleutian Islands and the American coa3t at Sitka in his last ill-fated voyage to thc Pacific in 1776-80; Cochran, another Englishman, visited Russian America during a pedestrian tour . to Siberia, in 1820-23; Captain Beoehy spout somo weeks thero in his circum-pobr voyage of 182-3-28; Sir Edward Belcher stopped there on his voyage I round tho world, performed in H. M. S. Sulphur, during the years 1826-42; and Sir Goorge Simpson, whose ontcrtuiuing "Overbold Journey Round tho I World," was published at London and Philaiel ! phia, in 1847, spent a .'onsidorable timo thero in 11S41, and again in tho summer ol 1812. It ii to tho work last montioned that we are in I tlebtcd for thu foliown ?.' particulars about a coun I try concerning which thero is just now much spec I ulatiou, but little exact knowledge. Sir Goorge I dimpson hold tho ufiico ot Governor-in-Chiof of I the Hudson Bay territories under the British J Crown. Ho was a shrewd aud well-informed ob? server, a man of catholic mind and hearty human sympathies, and appears to havo honestly recorded what he saw, without prejudice on .tho ono hand. I or favor up u the other. lt was iu the month of September, 1840, that I Sir George and his fellow-travellers first came in I sight of tho Russian-American Company's estab I iisnment of Now Archangel. They found the j coast enveloped m fog, which ia stated to be tho I predominant feature of the weather during tho I greater part of tho year, but which to our English I mon need not seem a very serious hardship. Yet I we lind Sir (ieorge complaining, "In all my expe? rience, I havo never seen any ?thing so miserable I as the almost constant damp, fog und rain of the I last three weeks. Tnese fogs aro so dense as not I only to render observations impracticable, but oven I to prevent one from seeing to the distance of a j hundred yards. Buring our four days at Sitka, there was one continued fall of rain, with tho ex? ception of a part of a day." Sitka is described as "the principal depot of thc I Russian-American Company," a trading corpora I Lion, similar to thc Hudson Bay Company, but far I less wealthy and powerful, whose valuable fran? chise.- from tho Russian Government, guaranteed in the treaties of 1824-25 between Russia and Great Britain, aud tho former Power and tho United States, have but recently expired. Sir Gcorgo I Simpson describes'* five- "posts" of thia company j ou tue mainland, each tho nucleus of small settle I menta, and says that it has also ''either forts pr I flying parties in tho Aleutian and Kurd o Islands." I l'ho principle business of the company is do I scribed as the fur trude-heaver and fur-seals fux I nianing the larger Dort ion of their commerce. I " lu the month o? May, with tho rogulanty of an almanac, the fur-seals malte their appearance at tho Island ot St.?Paul, ono of the Aleutian group. Each old malo brings a herd of fomalos under his I protection, ranging in number according to his size I and strength. Tho weaker brethren aro obliged I to content themselves with half a dozen wives, I while some ot tho sturdier and fiercer follows J prosidc over harems that are two hundred strong." j The summer season is devoted by these frisky I hyperboreans to roaring their young ; and tho an? una limn t begins when the p iel hm nar i cs of this process oro well over. As many aa ten thousand I fur-seals are Blain in a single season, and thoir skins shipped to St. Petersburg or to Califor? nia. Besides furs, what aro called "sea-horso teeth," I are a very prominent article of export from Rus I sian America. These teeth woigh, on an average, j ouo pound each. As tho animal produces only I two, and tho annual exports amounts to twenty I thousand, it will be seen that ten thousand huge I walruses are slaughtered every year, to secure this I species of ivory. I The natives of Russian America aro described iu I not very flattering terms : 'Tho Sitkaguonays, or j people of Sitka," says Sir George Simpson, "arc I the most wretched Indians in appoarance that I I have ever seen, being bedaubed with filth anti paint, and covered with the scars of syphilis. Pre I viouBiy to the formation of the pr?sont establish? ment of New Archangel, the savages had dey trov? ed two forts ii this neighborhood, and butchered I the unfortui ate garrisons of twontv-fivo men each." The uso of "fire-water," or bad whiskoy, I is universal, tho Rueaiau American Company giv I big as an excuse foi- furnishing it to tho In liana, I that "tho Yankeos" (meaning an occasional whale ship) had boon beforehand with them in employ - I ing this powerful instrument of trade. I "Tho good folks of New Archangel appear tc I live well. Tho surrounding country abounds in I the chevreuil, tho finest moat that I over ate. with I the single exception of moose, while- halibut, cod, I herrings, flounders and many other sorts of Ash, I aro always to be had for tho taking, in unlimited I quantities. Salmon aro so plentiful that they lito I rally embarrass tho movement of a canal. About I a hundred tho'dand of the latter tish are annually I salted for the ase of tho establishment; but arc s? I inferior in rich? .-ss of flavor that they aro not I adapted to exportation." In September, Sir Georgo found frosh fallen I snow, "whitening tho groen ice that filled tho I ra vinos of the mountains;" and in the following I April ho entered Norfolk Sound, near tho harbor r of Sitka, in the midst bf a heavy squall of snow, .rendering it impossible to see a quarter of a mile . from tho vessel. "On tho Friday ofter our binding the Bishop ol Sitka returned from Kodiok, distant about six I hundred miles, after a nm of about five days. Hin j outward voyage, however, had occupied precisely four week?. This prelate's diocese is, perhaps, tho most extensivo in existonco, comprising, as it I docs, not oidy tho whole of Russian America, but I also the Sea of Othotsk, Eamschatka and tho Aleu? tian Archipelagoes. Ho looks-as if intended by I nature for the bishopric of two worlds, hoing a man of herculean frame, and tho specimen of nie I travels which I have just mentioned shows that he is likely to need aU his constitution for bia Episco? pal visitation. "Of all tho dirty and wretched pieces that 1 have ever aeon, Stitka is pre-eminently tho most wretched and the most dirty. The common I houses aro nothing tut wooden hovels, huddle"] togetherwithout order or design, in nasty alleys, tho hot-beds of such odors as are sufficient to breed all sorts of fevers." Sir George found a n ore inviting region at some hot springs, about twenty miles north from Now Archangel. Hore was a tine bay, sheltered by au archipelago of ialands, and in the rear a barrier ol I rugged mountains. " In the vicinity was a luxu? riant verdure, presenting a green oasis with a va? riety of shrubs in full blossom, though tho sur? rounding wilderness, all as dead as cold could make it, still woro its mantle of snow. Hero, moreover, were found plants that grow nowhore cleo on tho coast, as also many raro birds, oven the humming-bird, that lover of tho warmer and sunnior climeB of the South. "Altogether," writes Sir Georgo, "this is a spot on which the seus?s may rest with pleasure, when weary of tho savage monotony of tho rocka and forests of the coast," Tho means of li vir-g were ?Uso abundant, tho wa? ters being alive with fish and fowl, and the land teeming with deer and gamo.

An official declaration uub'ished al Berlin states that, with tho exception ortho increased organiza? tion in tho linc and landwehr, begun last Autumn omi now completo, rem'cred necessary by ?ho now acquisitions ol territory, no special militar)' measures havo been nt present adopted. Tho military organization of North Germany is thus described in a London paper : Every North German capable of bearing arms belongs to tho permanent army for a period of sevon years, namely, from the ead of his 21st to tho beginning ot his 28tli year. Throe years of this time is to bc served hi tho activo army, and the four remnining in the reservo, l'or tlic live following years lie forms part of tho landwehr. The effective forco of tho Federal amir in timo of peace is fixed ntl por cent of the whole population of 13:>7 until Pee. 31,1S71, and each Stalo is to con? tribute according to its population in tho above proportion. At "thc d.d of this transitional period the tffectivc strength ot thc peace army of tho Con? federation will bo determined by the' vote of tho Legislature. On this basis thc F?deral army will consist'-of300,000 men. The armv expenditure is to be met by a bu .get calculated ?it thc rale of 225 thaUrs per man fur overy man under r.rms in time of peace, and this settlement will aso continue lill 1371. Thc Prussian military code, with all orders and regulations which coxplcto it, is to bo adopti d throughout Hie territory nf tho Confederation. As soon as the army ia organized according to these fundamental itrinciplcs, thc Munster President of tho Conf?d?ral ion will pros Ont to tho Parliament and Council a detailed plan of military organiza? tions and legislation, to bo made law by the con? stitutional votes of that Assembly. All tho forces of tho Confederation, whethor in time of peace or war, are placed under the coni uiaud o? tuc King of Prussia, designated as the Federal Commander-in-Chief. Tho regiments will be numbered in rotation throughout the F?deral army, sud tho troops will be clothed and accoutred in accordance with tho clothing and accoutrements of tho Tracion anny. The right of establishing fortresses within the F?deral territory is vusted in the Federal Comuiaudci-in-Chiei'. L'UICBS sepa? rate and independent coaveiitioas ouroroo other provisions, the princes or Sonates of tue Federated States will appoint tiio officer com? manding their several contingents, except that that the sanction of tho Commander-in Chief is requisite to the appointment of gen? eral officers, or officers fulfilling thc functions of general officers in each contingent Should public security be in danger in any part of the Fcdo;al territory, the Comniaudor-iii-Cliiof may proclaim tho stale of siego conformably with thu law of Juno, 1S51, whi.ch will contin?e in force for tho Confederation until a Federal law shall be passed, regulating tiio form and condition of such procla? mations. Thus tho whole executive power of .North Germany, as regards military matters, is placed tn the hands of tho King of Prussia, ?iud tho people of the States forming thc new Confederation havo abdicated all control over this branch of tho public administration for a period of tivo years, making themselves for that period tho mere instruments of tho military .spirit of Prussia.

A Pit ETTY Touou STonr.-George Kendall; of thc Now Orlo;ui8 Picayune, lolls thc folio-ung story: "While talking with Capt. Wilson, who is an old salt, and a good one. 1 lind, in comparing notes, 1 sailed or steamed with him somo sixteen or eighteen yoars ugo, between Charleston and Philadelphia, on tho Osprey, then running regularly in that trade. Sba was a slow steamer, buta staunch ono. We had a species of adventure on;boaid which I shah not soon forget. The first morning alter crossing Charlcstyii bar, somewhere off Georgetown, if rey memory serves me. wo were all, a good number of passengers, quietly enjoying ourselves under the awnings, tito weather delightful and tho nea smooth, whon suddenly tho bow of the steamer st nick some hard substance k'chng, cheeking her hp sud? denly, and causing her to quiver nom stem to stern. All rushed to tho sides, both larboard und tlarboard, oxpeeting to see a huge log ur piece of a wreck pass by; but nothing could be discovered; not even a limb or piece of plank. There was ex? citement and wonder on board, und, os tho steam? er passed on, many eyes were cast astern, expect? ing to soe somo kind of drift t urn np; but nil was smooth-not a speck came to tro surface-(be pas? sengers soon returned to their books or sugars, and in half an hour ull was forgotten. 1 This was about 10 o'clock iii thu morning. Af? ter dint er, while I was talking with the captain, tho engineer cun.c up and quietly said that some? thing was wrong, ho had on bis usual head of st', am, but the Osprey was running ti knot or a knot and a half slower than usual. Ho hud ex? amined every part of the machinery, and found all right and could not account for tho falling off. The mate was called, and he, too, was ..t a loss ; had noticed that tho vessel was not up to her usual speed, yoi could not account for it. Put in looking woll over the bow, thc whole thing was ex? plained; the c.;t-water of thc Osprey, rank and deep, had struck an enormous trunk tunic directly in the side, had goi.e about half-way through thc mon? ster had fastened lo him, ?iud was pushing bim through tho water ahead, tu the great detriment of her speed. A church door, shoved sideways, could not havo impeded tiio steamer's progress much moro than did this hugo turtle, who was, of course, lying fast asleep ou the surface when struck.
