We arrived on theuight of the 3d, and you
can imagine that I wasupill season the next
morning for the first view of Yokohama. I
was the frat man on deck, and saw a' sun-
rise that I shall never forget. It was biting
cold, but splendidly clear, and the prospect
was glorious. The Day was fllled with Jap-
anese fishing .,crafl with their high stems,
and square sails; the toan lay just before us

the. air,that magnificent snow-clad Fusiyama
which is fortyV miles distant, did not appear
to beflve; indeed, I_ thought tlith I Could al-
mostlay myhuud on it.' , The whole thing

folks were here. I do get disgusted with
people who travel and take every thing as a
matter of course, and never express the slight-
est enthusiasm at any thing. I have enjoyed
every moment since I left New ‘ York, and'
my only rogret has been that I had no trav-
,elling. companion. After breakfast, four of
us hired a native crail, and went on shore,
for which we were charged the modest sum
of six 1111111191”ng to about twelve cents.

of the earth would do well to imitate, 'Ind
showed us to pass on after another excrucia-

houses of the oflicials all built of green mar-
ble, and so scrupulously clean, that they
positively shone all over It is not only the
absence of dirt that strikes a stranger so
pleasantly, but a certain polish and bright-
ness about all their houses that we cannot
approach at home. Ali'shoes are shaken off
at the door of a dwelling or store, and I could
hardly persuade myself to enter without do-
ing likewise.' There is one street entirely
devoted to “Curio” stores, and the beauties
that can beseen. iu‘these would drive Anny
distracted, at least they .have me. Indeed,
the only way that I have been able to resist
temptation, is by leaving every cent of mon-
ey behind me, and making purchases in “my
mind’s eye.” The lacquer and bronze ware
isperfectly bewitching, and after entering a
storedt is almost impossible to get out again.
The flrstdsy on shore, while I was walk-
ing in Curio Streets two-sworded Jap‘ walk-
ed up and saluted me with a “Good morn-
ing.” Having been put on my guard against
Joconins, I immediately looked very sangui-
nary, and laid my hand on my pistol, when
I discovered, to my surprise, that it was‘a
fellow-passenger on the “Republic,” with
whom I had fl'equently played chess,- but so
much was he changed by Japanese clothes
that I did not recognize him.
On Sunday the steamer started for Hong
Kong, and as she steamed away with nearly
all the passengers, I felt real home-sick for
the old tub; and should like to have been go-
'ing with her. We arrived with only ten
tons of coal in the bunkers, and if the head
winds had continued a day'longer, we should
probably have seen fun, as without fuel we
, should have been entirely at the mercy of the
‘wind and currents.

The surrounding country, although now
the middle of winter, is‘perfectly lovely. .I
have taken several long walks, and some of
the views are perfectly bowitching.
I think that I could be perfectly happy if
I could only manage to sketch some ofthis
lovely scenery. The valleys back of the
town are entirely devoted to barley, which
most careful manner; and ’the long rich rows
of green are beautiful. People have been
very polite to me, especially Dr. Hepburn
and Mr. Portman, Secretary of the U. S. La-
gution; the latter from having “met” *- 9

The whole country is in a state of rebel-
' lion and uproar at present, and the Consuls
have been warned once or twice to hold them
selves in readiness, for the town might be at-
tacked by the rebels at any moment. The
general opinion‘is that the final result of all
this commotion will be the opening of the
entire country to foreign intercourse. Yedo
will not be opened until April, and no. one
can go there now without a permit, and
strong guard from the government.
The town of Yokohama is situated on an
artifical island, the Japs having dug a canal
entirely around the “foreign concession,” and
during the first few years, no one could cross
this without endangering his cranium. They
thought in this way tokeep foreigners within
bounds, butVthey. have discovered that it will
take more than a ditch to keep out white
folkI; and now the country is opened ten
miles around, although a person stands con-
siderable chance for meeting Jaconins if he
ventures too far. Every street in the town
is swept daily? and I am sure that it would do
Judge Whiting good to Spend a week here.
This is the most scandalously expensive
place to live in you can think of. I, ofcoursc
have to get alougas economically as possible
but the “filthy lucre" fades _at a fearful rate;
