ES” Persons wanting the Evening Star in Baltimore, can procure it early every after- Poon at Henry Taylor’s Newspaper Depot, “San Iron Buildings.’” SL as SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer diséusses the confidence which ‘the South ‘should place in Northern Whiggery and Democracy, insisting who resolved that the repeal of the Missouri compromise bas absolved the North from the obligation to admit more slave States into the Union, arejust a8 sdund on the slavery ques- tion ag those resolving that they would not have repealed the Miss.uri compromise, never- theless urge acquiesence in that action as pru- dent and putrictic. Fi the oc urse of the ar- ticle in question, the editor lets off a good shot in insiating that the Democratic Platforms in these times are made ‘after the fashion of the signboards, which have a different Teading according to the position of the-paseer-by. The joke is capital, truthful, sha applies with equal farce to all” Political platforms of the times. .. They are but guli traps, designed each to osteh: more votes thar the others. For the Position of the New York Hards our venerable neighbor appears to have supreme contempt —for,the men ‘who praise ® ‘principle’ but denounee its author#‘and patron:.”? The Union insists that “the day on which s United North shall refuse admission toa new State upon the ground that its constitu. tion recognizes Slavery, will be the last day of the confederacy.” The organ also explains that the democracy onty have breasted what it chSracterises as the storm of sectionalism, bigotry, fanaticism and illiberality brought about by the Union of the Northern Whig party with the Abolitionists and Know Noth- ings. The ‘Union also quotes the Boston Courter (whig) upon. the recent Massachusetts Know Nothing Bominations, as follows : “A glance at their nominations, so far as direct hiseyes towards them, that abokentse: and abolitionism atone, has had the control of all the nomfnating power of this sham-native American organization, and, algo, that the abolitionists whorh it is attempt. foist into public consequence under the Protécting mgis of know-nothingism are as contemptible in talent and in political Standing as they are dishonest with ‘regard to the platform which they are dishonest with regard tothe platform which they have #0 eagerly pressed forward to occupy.’’ = * * * * * “Ci very one of the candidates who has been known before as a politician has been known as an anti-slavery man, and it may be safe to say of the whole body of the nominees of the new party, that they are rancorous, ultra, and un- mitigated “abolitionists. If any one of them has ‘at any time within half-a-dozen years been conn » politically, with any other party than an anti-slavery party, we should like to know it.

Presidential Candidates—The late elec- tions bid fair greatly to complicate the next Presidential contest. We find all those around us, who, a week or so ago, were very sure of the election of this or that distinguished gen- “eman, completely dumbfounded at the utter state of uncert®inty into which the fall élec- tions, so far, have cast every thing of the sort. It strikes us that the Democratic party are to be. congratulated on one effect which these elections have already had: this is, on the in- stantaneous'check they have put upon the dis- position of gentlemen tacked each to the coat- tail of some particular Democratic aspirant, to labor to get him the nomination; rather than in the cause of the principles they pro- feas. Not long since most of the Democrats seemed to be Buchanan men, or Douglas men, or Hunter men, or devoted to the fortunes of some other leading man; now, however, ever, all who have not leftthe party and turned Know Nothings, to be on the apparently strong- est side, seem to be content to be Demoerats, anxious only for the selection of the strongest Possible candidate to bear aloft the Demo- cratic banner. Nevertheless, there will bea tremendous struggle for the Democratic na- tional nomination. As General Cass ia under stood to have laid aside all pretensions, his very large force of Democratic politicians ‘are un- derstood to have divided between Mesers. Buchanan and Douglas—the former being un- derstood to be fairly in the field. Mr. Buch- anan falls heir to most of the Cass politicians east of Ohio, while Mr. Douglas gets those from the Western States. General Cass had none worth mentioning in States south of Maryland. These elections have already raised up strong parties of “‘strikers’’ for various dis- tinguished Whigs, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Fillmore, and Gov. Seward, each being spoken of as the man to bearaloftthe Fusion banner. That is, those who sympathise with the idea of a purely Northern party to embrace the Whig party ot the North, Abolitionism, Know Nothingism, and the Maine Liquor law, are unanimously Sewardites ; while those who are for fighting the battle on Whiggery and Know Nothingism only combined, are for Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Clayton. The Southern Know Nothings take particularly to Mr. Fillmore, while those of the North (out of New York,) who, being Whigs, are yet ‘nut Abolitionists, are for Mr Clayton, owing to the well understood bitter hostility which all the higher law wing of the Whig party bear to the distinguished ex-President, that wing of the party out-nam- bering the other ten to one in all the non- slavehalding States. It strikes us, however, that it is much too soon for rational men to be making any calculations on the subject. The only thing appearing ciear to us, is that the next President of the United States is to be elected by the House of Representative, and that heis to be the'man for whom the South will vote in a body. as they certainly will for some one, who will then require but few more votes to be elected; which said votes are ob- tainable, as against any candidate identified with the purposes of Abolitionism. Business before the Pension Bureau, &c.— The business of the Pension Office has been kept up to date for the last nine months. All letters are now answered the day after they are received and registered, except when they relate to cases that require a thorough exam- ination. In some instances the examinations require that information should be obtained from other bureaus, in which cases delays are unavoidable. These delays, however, are ex- ceptions to the genera] rule. For instance, all applications for land bounty have to be sent by the Pension Office to the Third Au- ditor, the Second Auditor, or the Adjutant General, for a verification of the service claim- ed by the applicant, and are returned with the proper certificate. These. applications are now made at the rate of about forty a day; and such is the promptitude with which they are disposed of, that not more than one hun- dred and fifty cases are now on hand, incilud- ing those that are sent to the rolls for the purpose aforesaid. The consequence is, that the business with the Pension Bureau that used to bedone by agents residing in the city of Washington, is now done almost entirely by the parties interested, or by persons residing near them. This causes some complaint on the part of agents located here, that there is noth- ing doing in the Pension Office But wo opine the Commiesioner’s annual report will show that there has been no lack of business during the lust year. We shall be disappointed if it does not appear that more than three thousand revolutionary claims have been favorably ad- judicated, and more than half a million of dollars distributed on account of revolutionary services, besides the annual current pensions to those that are upon the pension list. When the correspondence of the office was six months in arrears, this business was chiefly done by agents resident in this city, who were paid from twenty to fifty per cent for their services, but which they now lose on account of the prompt manner in which correspondents from adistance are answered by the burean. Our friends, the agents, may therefore have cause of complaint; but the community will not sympathize with them so long as they receivé what the agents lose. Indeed, during the last year or two, so general has been the improve- ment in the manner of transacting business here in all the branches of the Executive ofi- ces, as to greatly reduce the business of all those genflemen who have been employed in the settlement of the affairs of clients with the Government, until agents. who four years ago were making from $3,000 to $5,000 per annum, are complaining that they cannot now realize more than one hundred dollars per month from their profession Progress of the Mexican Com- mission. —We' understand that letters have been received from Mr. Charles Radziminski, the secretary of the Commissioner, dated at Powder Horn, near Indianola, Texas, October 2d. Major Emory, the Commizsioner, left that station on the 3@th September, en route for the theatre of his operation, taking with him all the members of his party, except some who were sick, and Mr. Radziminski, who remained to take charge of the wagons, the schooner conveying which was coming in sight as he wrote. He expected to follow after the Com- missioner the next day. From the acknowl- edged ability and energy of Major Emory, and the chief officers assisting him, we look for- ward to an early and successful completion of the extensive, laborious, and hazardous field operations, connected with this important sur- vey, 4 Governot of Wisconsin.—The Hon —— Barstow, is in this city, attending to the in- toanets-of- hiv State t in connection with the Clerical Appointments, Removals, and Pro- motions.—The following gentlemen were re- moved from the office of the Sixth Auditor (Post Office Department) : Charles H.

Mott, Esq., the newly elected Canal Commissioner, who received auch a heavy Know-Nothing vote, has jast replied to aletter of several friends, in which he dis- avows any connection or sympathy whatever with the order, and declares that he belongs to but one party—and that the Demooratic party. Previous to the election he made pub- lic a similar statement The fact that Mr. Darsie, his whig opponent, is an adopted citi- zep, probably had something to do with the result. During the evening of Monday he re- ceived a large number of his friends at the Merchant’s Hotel, Philadelphia, when a Jack- son medal was presented him in the name of the Democracy of Philadelphia, by Chas. W. Carrigan, Esq.,in afew eloquent and perti- nevt remarks, and was received by Mr. Mott in 2 neat speech. ++++ We learn from a letter to the editor of the Home Journal, written by the Hon. The- odore Fay, United States Minister in Switzer- land, that he has asked leave to visit New York in the ensuing spring. Mr. Fay has been abroad in a diplomatic capacity nearly twen- ty years. +++ The New York Mirror says: “ Among the Baltic’s passengers was Prince John, of Lindenwald, hale as a buck. The Van Burens are bound to have a finger in the November electoral pie.’’ ++++ The New York papers state that one of the escaped seamen of the Arctic shipped on board the Atlantic on Saturday. Just as the steamer was about to sail, he was discovered by Captain West, who took him by the collar and marched him ashore, saying that he wished no szch men to go to sea with him. This is as it should be. They should be marked like Cain, and shunned by all honor able men. ‘ Not a woman or child saved!” should haunt them to their dying day. ++e+ Gavazzi’s paper, the Crusader, in dis- cussing the nativity of Mr. Uliman, the Know Nothing can‘lidate for Governor of New York, says: “The candidate of the Know Notbi » fur Governor of this State, is a native of Dela- ware State, the smallest commonwealth in the Union, but the strongest in American princi- ples. As we happen ourselves to be half Dela- warian, in recommending Mr. Ullmann, we commend a man with whom we have been ac- quainted a series of years, and whose ancestry ig of the most honorable and Repiode reputa- .tlon. Mr. Ullmann’s grandfather was con- cerned in one of the first loans made to this country, (the famous Hortales & Co.’s loan,) during the struggle for Independence, when the pure and patriotic men of that epoch were preparing for the final and decisive movement. The father of our candidate, in 1780, con- tributed a great deal towards the national war, and the truly American city of Wilming- ton bears good tesiimony to the patriotism of the Ullman family. “The subject of this short and imperfect aketch was born in that same city, educated at Yale College. studied and practised law in New York with Henry Storrs, the celebrated jurist, and would have been elected, in 1851, Attorney General of this State, but for the fraud practised by his dishonest political ene- mies.’ «+++ Smith Miller in the first district, and Wm H.

WAR The files of papers broaght by the Baltic are filled with accounts of the progress uf the war between the Russians and the allies, from which we condense a few items : Russia ann Avsraia.—The St. Petersburg nan 3 ive adecree, forbidding the ex- Port of corp to Austria, _ \ The Austrian Ambassador at Paris, called on Mr Drouyn de Lhuys to express the satis- faction of his Government at the successes of the allied armies. 2 Taz Sroruine or Sezasrorot.—We learn that the Russian artillery was arranged in thrée batteries, and that the Russian force wee quite 50,000 men, including a: ee ‘of cavalry The battle commenced at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and at 3 o’clock the Russian position was carried by the bayonet. Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord commanded per- sonally. Three steamers protected the passage of the from the sea. Gen Thomasson (French) was shot inthe abdomen, supposed fatally; and General Canrobert was wounded in the shoulder, Seconp Dergat or tHe Rtssiaxs.—From the small number of guns or prisoners takén by the allies at the Alma, on the Zist, we in- fer that their (the allies’) success amounted to no more than ing the Russians from their pe on the heights. At all events, Prince lenschikoff had managed again to bring his forces into order, and on the 23d of Septem- ber, he gave battle to the advancing forces in the plains of Kalantai, on the river Katcha. After a sanguinary engagement, which lasted some hours, the Russians were totally defeated, and pursued to their entrenchments before Sebastopol. Here they appear to have made @ third stand, and to have again offered battle to the invaders. Tar News or tae Victory.—When the news reached Constantinople, it was ordéred that the city should be illuminated for ten suc- cessive days! Marseilles was ithuminated when the news was brought to that port. On teaching Boulogne, ‘the dispatch was convey- ed at once to the Emperor, who was engaged in reviewing the troops. le hastily perused the oypher, then. turned. to his generals and said, quietly, “Sevastopol est prise!’? The anhouncement was received with cheers, and briffiy communicated-by the Emperor to tha army. Hesaid, ‘this news was probable. I have now the happiness to announce it to you myself, and at the moment I. speak, I have little doubt that ‘the flags of the allied armies are floating on the walls of Sevastopol:”’ At Liverpool, chester, and other cities, the news was welcomed by tho ringing of the oherch belis, and by the display of flags. At London, the Lord Mayor and the civic authori- ties shortly before 10 o’cloek, on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 30, proceeded to the Royal Exvhange to proclaim the victory of Alma.

LATER FROM TEXAS. The New Orleans papers, by a late arrival, have Texas papers Jf the 8th inst. The yellow fever was still prevailing at Gal- veston. : Col. T. J. Allen, one of the proprietors of the Journal, died of yellow fever in Galveston on the 7th. There seems to be an abatementin the fever atHouston. The Telegraph, of tho 7th inst. says: There were but four deaths in all from this disease on Wednesday and Thursday, and we have heard of none since up to the hour of going to press. Mr. Charles Merlin, an old resident of Hous- ton, formerly keeper of the Alabama House, in that city, was found dead in his bed on the morning of the 6th inst. : We learn, from the Telegraph that the weather was remarkably fine at'Houston, the nights almost cool enough for frost. ‘The same paper has the following : ‘ “Major Emory was daily expected at San Antonio, at last dates, en route to the Mesilla valley. A part of company A, from Fort Belknap, had arrived at Austin, and was awaiting orders to go to San Antonio, to be- come the escort of Major E. on the expedi- tion.” The Austin Gazette says that a large num ber of Northern. Comanches are gathered around Fort. Chadbourne, who, from the fee bleness of the garrison, are emboldened to commit outrages. The troops are on the alert to guard against attack. ~ t is reported in Western Texas that several hundred. deserters from the: Mexican army have crossed the Rio Grande, and are now sqattering themselves throughout different sec- tions of the frontier of Texas. The pecan crop on the Brazos river is repre- sented to be very abundant thig season. Intelligence has been received from Fort Clarke, of a fight, on the 8th of September, some eight miles from the fort, between a body of Comanches andiLipans. The Lipans were victorious, and teok horses as booty, most of them American horses, supposed to have been stolen from the lower country. SALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
