They aro mounted on horses, and from the manner in which they sit we learn that though great mandarins they were very bad horsemen, but tUfeir countrymen should have hidden this fact. Nor are their horses such steeds of beauty as one would expect to see under men who were loved by the sky, and upon whom the moon had rained wisdom, for the one ciyries his tail between his legs like a Niphon dog, and the other walks upon his hind legs, which cannot be comfortable to the rider— we have better horses in Jeddo. tice of law in Virginia. In 1822 he removed to Columbia, in South Carolina, where he continued to practise his profession with great distinction and success.

Probably no attribute of our candidate will, after all, endear him so much to the popular heart as the conviction that he ia emphatically "one of the people." His manhood has not been compressed into the artificial track of society; but his great heart and vigorous intelleot have been allowed a generous development amid his solitary struggles in the forest and the prairie. With vision unobscured by the mists of sophistry, he distinguishes as the first glance between what is true and what is false, and with will and courage fortified by his life of hardship, he is not the man to shirk any responsibility, or to shrink from any opposition. Moreover, he is peculiarly one to win our confidence and affection. To know "honest Abe" Is to love him; and his neighbors in the West, although voting for him to a man, will mourn the victory which it to deprive them of hia presence. The following incident will exhibit Lincoln in one of those inobtrusive acts of goodness which adorn his life.- The circumstance was related by a teacher from the Five-Points' House of Industry in this city. "Our Sunday-School in the Five Points was assembled, one Sabbath morning, a few months sinoe, when I noticed a tall and remarkable looking man enter the room and take a seat among us. He listened with fixed attention to our cxercises, and bis countanence manifested such genuine interest, that I approached him and auggestod that he might bo willing to say something to the ohildren. Ho acoeptcd tho invitation with evident pleasure, and coming forward began a simple address, which at once fascinated every little hearer, and hushed the room into silence. His language was strikingly beautiful, and his tones musical with intensest feeling. The little faces around would droop into sad oonviction as he uttered sentences of warning, and would frighten into sunshine as he spoke cheerful words of promise. Once or twice he attempted to clow his remarks, but the imperative shout of 'Goon !' 'Oh, do go on 1' would compel him to resume. As I looked upon tho gaunt and sinewy frame of the stranger, and marked his powerful head and determined features, now touched into softness by the impressions of the moment, I felt an irrepressible curiosity to lcain something more about him, and when he was quietly leaving tho room, I begged to know his name. He courteously replied, 'It is Abra'ia Lincoln from Illinois!'" As on the trees they hung When you, a score, and I, some more, Our curtains first we sifting. ffOBN WITH BBS 8 O TXT, 3.

In 1842 he resigned his place in the Senate, and returned to the practice of his profession in South Carolina. In 1845 he became President of the University of South Carolina, which office he filled with great credit until 1851, when he was forced to resign in consequence of ill health. Mr. Preston is remarkable for a winning power of eloquence, which charms and captivates the feelings. His oratory is thus characterized in this tasteful tribute by his friend, Dr. Leiber, in an oration before the members of the South Carolina College;—"I Ftand here where an orator has stood of wide and high American repute, whose wealthy eloquence has often gushed forth from this very spot in all the native energy of his Saxon idiom, perfumed with the fragrance of a scholar's mind and the aroma of a cultivated taste—a speaker whoso oratory is yet fondly remembered by the humblest classes of our people. It is not more than a twelvemonth ago that 6ne of them, as they assembled around the house of justice, said within my hearing, pointing at him,' That man used to talk like a mocking-bird.'"

We have bowed to the Tycoon of this land. It will interest thee to know, oh, son of Fbum, that, like the Grand Lama of our country, he is forbidden to marry, and yet women are permitted to come into his presence, even women of sur passing beauty, which must be to him a source of great grief. And likewise tho women are permitted to talk in the palace, which is unlike to the practice in Jeddo. The Tycoon has similitude to an Oriental. Like our people he is reserved and talketli not much; his manner is like that of Simme-Buzen- NO-Kami, but his toiski, (this people call them trow-ter*,) do not fit so well as our Ambassitdor's, nor does he bow with the graceful ease of a Niphonese, which is a pity, for he might then pass for a great Mandarin. The people call him Old-Buck, but Gen-Scott-Kami said we would find hiin a Great-Bork. A buck has two horns and is of higher caste than a man of two swords. But the peoplo incline not to their Tycoon, and shortly sincc summoned a Con-ven-tion to meet in a newly discovered country, South-Kor-o-li-na, (a place as distant from the Uuited States as Takamat-su is from O-sa-ka,) for the purpose of choosing another. But the soul of Bu- CHAN-AN grew sick, aud in fear that he would commit liarrl karri, the Con-vention did nothing, and now he will bo Tycoon until he dies, which "happy dispatch" will fill the land with joy.

Will it surprise thee to know that our Embassy is received with such distinguished favor because of the darkness of our complexion? For it is a fact that this people love those whose skins are burnished by the sun. In token of this they send ships across the sea to bring them to this favored land, and place them in flowery gardens in a part of the kingdom called " Down South," where they are taught to cultivate cotton, which the Sec-rc-ta-ry-of- State informs me is a delightful employment, and one which they like exceedingly.

The missing sketch-book has been discovered. Our readers will be gratified to learn that it waC* not stolen by any "special artist." The official that had the book in charge, in endeavoring to slip itin the loose folds of his trowsers, by a very natural mistake slipped it into one of the carriage pockets instead, where it was subsequently found by the driver. The driver, noteomprehending the Japanese characters, thot' at first that he had discovered a new Mormon revelation. Happening to exhibit his acquisition to an officer who had- accompanied Com. Perry in his visit to Japan, the true character of the book was recognized, and it was forthwith restored to the owner, who expressed his delight at its recovery with many profound bows, and the presentation of a fan and paper smelling-bottle to the driver. The sketch-book contained a letter which Lieut. Tysasii took the liberty of translating, feeling that in so doing he was not violutiug the sanctity of private correspondence more than is customary with American people. After translating the letter he sent a note to Mooba- OAKE, asking his permission, to which that Prince returned answer somewhat as follows: "Do as thou wiltl oh, Tysash-ka- Ml, Namoo Amatli,." The latter phrase is frequently used by the Japanese, and is somewhat analagous to our Hallelujah.— We publish the letter as translated. Bbioham Talking to tue Saints.— Brigham Young, in a discourse to his followers, at the Tabernacle of Salt Lake City, a short time since, said: 'I have very little to say to men who are dissatisfied with my course, or with the course of brethren. Some have wished me to explain why wo built an adobe wall around this eity. Are there any Saints who stumble at such a thing? O, slow of heart to understand and belicvo. I build walls, dig ditches, make bridges and, do a great amount and variety of labor that is of but little constquence only to provide ways and means for sustaining and preserving the destitute.— I annually expend hundreds of thousands of dollars almost solely to furnish employment to those in want of labor. Why ?— I have potatoes, flour, beef, and other articles of food, which I wish my brethren to have ; and it is better for them to labor for those articles, so far as they are able . aud have opportunity, than to have them given to them. They work and I deal out provisions, often when it does not profit me. I say all grunters, grumblers, whiners hypocrites and sycophants who snivel, orouoh, and crawl around the most contemptible of all creatures for a slight favor. Should it enter my mind to digdown the Twin Peaks, aud I set men to work to do so, it is none of your business; neither is it the business of all earth and hell, provided I pay the laborers their wages. I am not to be called in question as to what I do with my funds, whether I build high walls, or low walls, garden walls or city walls; and if X please, it is my right to pull down my walls tomorrow. If any one wishes to apostatise upon such grounds, the quicker he does so the better; and if he wishes to leave the Territory, but 4s too poor to do so, I will asgut him to go.

But it was not to his oratorv alone that Preston was indebted for reputation, for he was a distinguished lawyer, a brilliant wit, and superb conversationalist; indeed we once heard Senator Butler say that the most brilliant things he ever heard from any man in conversation were uttered by Preston. This is great praise when we reflect that Butler has long mingled familiarly with the most celebrated men of the country, and is himsolf inferior to no man in the Union as an eloquent speaker and fascinating conversationalist.
