"; '"r- From the Richmond Examiner. It is not generally known that the Japanese have -. a Commissioner in this country or the especial ).iirpoBe pf reporticg.the progress of the war, and ' the, improvements in military science. Through the extreme courtesy of his Highness Pnnce Dai-cako-Nokami, the Commissioner, we are permitted to lay before our readers the following extracts (kindly translated for as) irom a report recently forwarded by bira to his Imperial Master. " From it .' cur friends' will learu.in what high estimation our - affairs are held by the Japanese officials : Prom the Great City of Richmond, TUB CAPITAL OF THB POWERFUL RePUBLICK ... -u Sactbiu; KlRUARlANS. ) T-i the Tycoon, the Uiyh and Mighty Sovereign of the Empire of Japan, the Brother of the Sun Moon and the Stan, before whose glory alt earthly princes hide their facte: Sibe: Your Commissioner having been sent to this great country of the Barbarians, charged by your Imperial Majesty with the duty of noting and reporting the events of the bloody war now being waged upon then. by the powerful nation of Yan kees, who dwell in the "North, and live by thieving and deceit, humbles himself in the dust as he pre pares to lay before your Imperial Majesty the re fill; of his . observations Your Commissioner, a ter encountering many difficulties and dangers by both sea and land, at last reached the great City of Richmond, the capital of the Barbari ans. I lost no time in presenting' my credentials to the Barbarian Government. Speaking tin lan guage of the country but imperfectly, I was fear ful that I would experienca some difficulty in inaking known to the officials the mission with , which I am charged. Fortunately, I was informed by an officer Qf great respectability that the Chief Mandarin who controls the intercourse of the Re publics: with other nations had in his employ an official who could speak Japanese, and that he had employed him some time since, in the hope that your Imperial Majesty would condescend to recog nize the existence of his government, when the official's abilities would prove useful The next day was appointed for my-reception by the Mandarin, 'whom the- Barbarians call Benjamin. Accordingly I presented myself at the Palace of the Official, which is a large, high building of white stone, containing many rooms, and was at c ace ushered into his presence. The Mandarin, a i- hort, fat man with a profusion of good ornaments, toceived roe with great delight. Had I permitted 1 im - to so, ho would have gotten down on 'his knees' and kissed my feet The honor I respect .I dly but firmly declined your Imperial Majesty lone being entitled to it He pressed upon me from the beginning of the - interview, his extremo admiration lor the empire t f Japan and its institu tions, and extolled the advantogts which would . trise from a treaty between your Imperial Majesty and the Barbarian Ruler. He also urged me 10 en deavor to persuade your Imperial Majesty to re cognize the -existence of his government. He of i'sretl me every facility that w in the power of his government to bestow, and even went so far as i urge me to accept a position on the staff of the ISarbarian general n duty at the capital. This is a mark of great distinction a similar offer being made to every foreigner who arrives in the South. All do not accept it, or the lUrbarian commander "might soon have connected with his person a forco sufficiently large to enable him to take the field. I wa compelled to decline the. honor, having strict orders from my Imperial Mister to take no part in the struggle. The Mandarin impressed, ine greatly with his ability and d:gnily. I found him quirk, intelligent, and thoroughly versed in all the tricks of diplo macy. I at ence saw from his countenance and " bearing that he was not a countryman of the Barba rians, and this at once accounted for bis superiority to them. I am informed that he is a member of a sacred race in all Barbarian countries a race noted for energy, honesty, ability and patriot ism. My interview wi?h the Mandarin con vinced me that the Barbarians are fortunate in possessing such a man. I would suggest to your Imperial Majesty the policy of allowing Jews a free entrance into Japan and license to dwell therein. It would be the part of wisdom to causo your present Prime Minister to disembowel "him-, elf, and then to re place him with a Jew. From the hall in which the Mandarin received me I was led through a long passage way .to anoth er hall, and formally ushered into the pr sence if the j. Great Ruler of the Barbarians. He would not allow me to salute him with any of the honors . due to his syigust ralik but made me sit down in his presence, and ottered me a small roll of tobacco, which is called a cigar. This, though I understood it to be a great honor, I was forced to decline, 'as the interpreter told me it would make mo sick. I am at a loss to imagine why the Barbarian Ty coon should have wished to make me sick. I shall enquire into the matter. The natives of this country are passionately fond of smoking cigars. I have been told that the best ' cigars are 10 the possession of the Tycoon and his Chief Mandarin. They are smuggled into the country by men who make their living. by disre- . garding the laws and who send these cigars as pres ent to the Tycoon and hia Mandarin, and who, by this means, are no longer violators of the laws but promoters of the public good. Respectable persons have assured me that the country would scarcely defeat ifS enemies if these officials did not receive then -cigars. It is an improvement in the science of government, for which the Barbaric -ana deserve great credit My interview with the Tycoon was highly satis factory, and before I left his prcence I was con vinced that of all Barbarians he- is the greatest lie has succeeded in exploding the old, absurd no tions that the people are the source of power, and that rulers are but their servants, and has showed them the true system of government, whfch con sists .a 1 disregarding their will and refusing tograt ify the.r wishes. He is mild -and gentle towards his enemies, but governs his people sternly and .firmly. As a military leader he has no superiors. His early education, and. his position as comman .Uer of regiment in a recent war won him a repu tation inferior to none. He has not been slow in mamfesting his ability to control the military af. lairs of his country, and the remarkable skill and genius with which he directed the events that cul- H.-X,"b,,rKnd!lfi",on,7 nave . placed h,m high in the affection, of his country. men. In point" of economy ha is a shining exam ple to,his people. He lives in th' plainest and simplest style, and is careful to do all in bis power to decrease the burdens of his country. Sometime ago a party of men, whose business it is to make laws, endeavored to force upon him a quantity of golden coins, but ho indignantly and patriotically refused to accept it, and. administered, a withering rebuke to all persons who; were unwilling to' sac--, fice' their personal ease to the good of the country.' As a financier he .'stands unrivaled, v The adoption of his views has 'caused money, to. ba as plentiful in his country as leaves in.tho.fores His .foresight 'm wonderfuJL,,TA't the beginning of bis career h clearly foresaw the character, of, the present strug gle,' and at once took prompt energetfo measures to prepare for it In hia estimate .of tnen be never mistaken. Mandarin Benjamin, the-Manda-rin'of the Treasury,, and the New Commanding General. who remains on duty at the-seat of Gov ernment, all attest the correctness of his jadgment In all things be is a model uler, and happy are the people whom b'o govern! After my interview with the Tycoon I wra con ducted to the ball of the Mandarin of the Treasury, whom the Barbarians call Memminger. ty tl ject in visiting him was to gain from him informa tion concerning the finances of the Barbarians. Their financial system filled me with surprise and delight When the war begun money was scarce, and consisted of gold, silver and copper coin! When the government of the Tycoon went into power it was resolved to cast aside the plan of a . few half-witted dreamers who demanded that cot ton, which is the great staple- of this country, should be made the basis of- their currency. It was resolved to print pieces of paper, which would cost the government less than wwld be required to buy cotton. These pieces of paper were to be declared money. Unlimited authority was given to the Mandarin of the Treasury to print them, -and this official, prompted by a wise and patriotic benevolence, resolved to create such a vast amount of money that all his countrymen shoold grow rich. Not long since i became necessary to cur tail the supply f paper money, and m order to produce the desired scarcity, the law makers set to work and devised a tedious and complicated sys tem, which was greatly simplified by the Mandarin of the Treasury. Instead of adopting the slow method ordered by the law-makers, he at once re-, moved the department charged" with the prepara tion ot the raone to a distant city. This, for a time, suspended all work in that department and subsequently the government having kindly al lowed the enemy to interrupt the lines of commu nication over which the money roust pass on its way to the capital, a scarcity was produced much sooner than was hoped by the law makers. 1 would suggest to your Imperial Majesty, the propriety oi adapting such a. system of finance. I have been so much pleased with it that I have determined to present 10 yojtr Majesty a complete report upon the subject. . " . I have been greatly assisted in my efforts to ac quaint myself with the military system of the Bar barians by the illustrious warriour who is now at the head of the armies of the republics. Holding, as he does, the highest military position in a couu try that has produced so many great soldiers, I nattwally supposed that he must be the greatest of them alL I was not mistaken. He, at an early day, gave evidence of the highest military genius. Unfortunately the positions in which he was placed did not allow him to exhibit this quality.. Tuo Ty coon, cf whose remarkable penetration I have al ready spoken, alone discovered the hidden gem ; and, as soon as the great soldier had succeeded in. turning over to his adversary a barren and worth less spot called Missionary Ridge, he was rewarded with the highest gift the Tycoon had it in his power to bestow. Here 1 notced a desided improvement upon the old ideas of generalship : To bo a great General, and to corgmand the admiration of one's rulers it is necessary to give universal dissatisfac tion to the people, and an equal degiee of satisfac tion to the enemy. The manner ot conducting military operations ex cites ray surprise and admiration. The troops are forced into the ranks of the army, end only the old men and the women and children are left at home. These are necessarily unprotected, and, in order to produce a good effect upon the troops,' they are allowed to remain so. The government then leaves open a way by which mounted parties of the enemy Are enabled to penetrate to the interiour. These parties burn houses, ravish women, murder old men and children, steal property of every descrip tion, and devastate- the cotuitry. These things, though horribleQn themselves, exercise a most bf m licial effect upon the army and the country. They produce an intenser hatred of the enemy on the part of the people, and cause the troops to fight more desperately in battle They also-make them more willing to remain in the Held, for men without homes are content to stay where they are provided for. Should your Imperial Majesty desire, in times of war, to increa.se the efficiency of your troops, you have Only to allow . a band of your enemies to ravage . and destroy their homos, murder their fathers and outrage their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. The men who perform such deeds are called by the Barharians "Raiders," and are treated with the highest consideration. Occasion ally some of them are taken prisoners. Instantly a few ignorant persons demand that the. captives shall be put to death. At once the Tycoon takes the " Raiders" under his protection, treats them with the greatest kindness, and, as soon as possible, sends thetn back to their own country. The wis dom of this course is fully demonstrated by the sequel. The "Raiders," grateful" for the kindness shown them, as soon as they regain their liberty, visit some other section of the country and burn, plunder, kill and ravish as before. Thus, your Im perial Majeity will see the efficiency of the troops is always preserved, and the people-effectually pre vented from thinking kindly of their enemies. A war spirit is constantly maintained. This ccurso is a great improvement upon the old system, under which the " Raiders" would have been 6hot or hung as soon as captured, and its advantages are so clear to every one that I doubt not your Imperial Majesty will not hesitate to adopt it as soon as pos-. sible. There are many persons among the Barbarians who violently oppose the conduct of the Tycoon, but they are bad and unpatriotic men, who are un willing to lose their all, that the Tycoon may have an opportunity of exhibiting his wonderful humani ty, which is, indeed, the most remarkable ever ex hibited by any earthly ruler. Nevertheless he has his reward; The people love him devotedly ; for they feel that he has thrown around them the most ample .protection, and uill not hesitate' to dare any thing to promote their safety. The Mandarin who has charge of the shipping showed me many attentions. The Barbarians have invented a new species of war steamer, which is plated with iron, and is very formidable. These steamers cost immense sums of money and require many months in their construction. They are rarely used in actual conflict with the enemy. They are allowed to remain untonched for awhile, b-.it are eventually blown up by their commanders. The Mandarin assured me that by destroying them thus the Barbariana impress their enemies with a sense of their desperation, and that each such destruction is eqrl to a victory. It also pre cludes all possibility of any Barbarian commander being forced to endure the humiliation of surren dering his vessel to an- enemy. Should your Impe rial Majesty desire to receive instruction in this new system, the Mandarin informs mt that he is willing to order to 'Japan any or all of the officers who, have thus distinguished themstlves, and I am confident the peoplo of this country would be de lighted if such an arrangement could be fleeted. Deserters from the enemy are encouraged to come in, by being given employment in factories, arse nel8 and workshops belonging to the Government The natives of the country find it difficult to pro cure -work of any description from the Govern ment, but any one who has been conneoted with the enemy, finds no difficulty in procuring such work as he may desire. This is a wise system and 1U advantages are every day seen. The Govern, ment is constantly reaping great-benefits from it, in the satisfaction it affords the people and arrav. Not long since the law makers of th Rrl. mns enacted a law prohibiting, under severe pen- k p ' Fun3 irou4 Duying or selling "veen dm8? as tfie piper money of the enemy i; Jled. The Government of the Tycoon having, use for the inonej of their enemies; set aside the law and ap-" , pointed a class of men called broken" to act as agents for the purchase -of the desired amodnt Should your Imperial Majesty find it necessary or convenient to violate any of the laws of Japan, you will do well to eraDlbv a broker" as your agent, . for you may then violate the law. with impunity,. and-even with an appearance or tnnocenoe. ..'

Print a quantity of tickets on the same colored paper, and if you are censored or condemned for it, it will only be by the prejudiced," narrow-minded friends of Gov. Vance, whoso politics are all preju dice. In conclusion, allow me to say to those who be ing detailed by the State, are liable to be affected by this spirit of party proscription and oppression, that' is so plainly called into action by Gov. Vance to control the present election, that the best course for them to pursue, Is to come to the polls boldly and determinedly and vote for the true Conserva tive candidate, at all hazard. If -Vance is re elected, there will be introduced a reign of oppression from which none but the De structive leaders and their sycophants will be free.

Raleigh, July 25, 13(54 For the Standard. The Canvass la Forsyth. We have five candidates in Forsyth County" for the-Commons branch of the next Legislature who are now going areund with the Sheriff to the tax gatherings and discussing the political issues of the day, vulgarly called stumping the County. We having had a Conservative mass meeting at Winston on the 28th May for the purpose of nomi nating two suitable candidates to represent us in, the Commons, Major W. B. Stipe and CoL W. H. Wheeler were unanimously chosen as the Conser vative candidates, and a scries of resolutions were adopted as a sort of platform, and which were fjtinded on a strictly constitutional basis. Since tliat time, J. H. Hester and J. W. Cole, Esqrs., have declared themselves as the Destructive candi dates in opposition to Messrs. Stipe and Wheeler, and Dr. E. Kerner, one of the present members, has declared himself and undertakes to steer between the two extremes aud be elected to the next Legis lature on the grounds of being a Vance man, and pleads that as the people have elected him once it is duu to him that he be elected at least oncTTBbre, and says it is at least the custom. The Doctor labors bard to prove to the people that he did not, while iu the Legislature at its last session, vote to endorse the administration of Jef ferson Davis, but has failed to do so, the journals 6bowing that he voted, for Mr. Cobb's amendment, thus allowing his zeal for Gov. Vance to lead him to endorse the very measures that he professes, to support Gov. Vance for opposing. Mr. Coles not much of an orator, so the burden of the opposition falls on Mr. Hester. He admits that he was an original secessionist voted for a Con vention in 1861, and voted for Messrs. Masten and. Belo, the secession candidates for delegates in- op position to Messrs. Patterson and Wilson, the Union candidates; refused to vote for Vance two years ago, but says ho never was a very rigid party man ; advises that all parties forget their political dillerences; that the Destructives treat the Conser vatives courteously, and vice terea, that unless this is done, whenever peace is made we will not have peace but fighting among ourselves. Mr. Hester's, speeches, are largely interspersed with egotistical remarks, having reference to his hospitality to soldiers and his liberality to their families. This subject brings me to the main ob ject of my communication. " Witheut intending the least disparagement to Mr. Hester, I would state upon the authority of the good people of the neighborhood and of my own knowledge, that Maj. Stipe has done as much for soldiers and soldiers' families as any roan of his ability in Forsyth County, 'and has said as little about it himself, and I would further add, that as some of tho Destructives of this County envying the Major hi3 well earned popularity, aud having no charge to bring against bis character, but hoping by some means to defeat his election, refer to his having once failed in business, saying that some years sgo he was brolen up, ka., and sneeringly re mark that a man not capable of managing his own concerns is incapable of managing State affairs. Of course this is a trivial affair 'and not worth no ticing in a paper, but I know it will be used and capital tried to be made of it among the uninformed in distant parts of the County to operate against his election. Mnjor Stipe was remarkab'e in'1860-'61 for his strict attachment, to the federal Constitution, and when the old government was broken up he took as firm a stand upon the Confederate Constitution, and is determined to be .elected or defeated on a constitutional basis, denouncing the dangerous en croachments of Congress and "the Executive at Richmond, and endorsing Wm.'W. Ilolden in his fearless and straight forward course of warning the people from time to time of their danger, and will support Mr. Holden for Governor. I would remind his tftdacers that so far as his pecuniary affairs are concerned, that he has a suffi cient amount of property to entitle him to a scat in' the House of Commons if elected,, or the Senate either; that he has acquired it himself by honest industry and perseverance; that he Ijas always sup posed his family, paid his just debts, Ac, which we think is enough for our purpose. He is well known in his neighborhood for his energy of char acter, for his unflinching perseverance in his under takings. As a public servant he is prompt in ac tion and faithful in the discharge of his duties. He is a trtie patriot and the people's and soldiers' friend. " Col. Wheeler is yonnger and less known to the writer, but I am. happy to say of him that he is a gentleman of refined and affable manners, a culti vated mind, connected with sound patriotism and -unblemished moral character. He will support Mr, Holden for Governor. Mr. Cole says but little, and I know but little of Urn. ga"fflMlt1to,Bfti''&.
