EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY> SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intslligencer reviews the condition of the Whig patty in Ng York, and while agreeing with the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser in deprecating the radical tendency of the spirit now controling it, as well as the pledges given by its candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor to the Abolitionists, the editor (of the Intel/igencer) recommends them, in effect, to be supported by the con- servative Whigs of the State. The Union comments with proper severity upon the bitter hostility of Benton to the whole South, as manifested last in an abusive article in the St. Louis Democrat, from his pen. The editor, in the course of this article; says: ; “If we are right in the high estimate we lace upon the honor of the Democrats and higs of Missouri, Col. Benton will have de- serted the party which gave him the only office he ever held, and in whose service he wen all the distinction he ever wore, without cause sufficient to secure either the sympathy or the support cf his old opponents. Repudi- ated by bath Whigs and Democrats, his only sympathizers are found to be of a character too incendiary to allow of an alliance with either of the great parties that have ruled the country during his entire public career. He offers his alliance—he even offers an xxcon- ditional alliance; we deny that he has the wer of transfer, and also predict that the Whigs will scorn to accept it, even if it should turn out that he has it—the boasted power of transfer and the humiliation will have been in vain! The Whigs of Missouri are not like- ly to to “ fuse” with ‘Free Soilism.” The Sentinel essays to hold the National Intelligencer responsible for much of the present anti-slavery tendency of the northern Whig party. ee eee OOF Se EE _ Prices ADVANcED.—The proprietors of the Chicago newspapers held a meeting last week, and advanced their advertising rates 20 per cent. Their rates are now one dollar per square for the first insertion. As the journey- men compositors of this city are about to in- crease their wages, which are already equal to those of any city this side of New Orleans, it would not be a bad idea for the Washington newspapers to follow the example set by the publishers at Chicago. Breacing Ur or tax Sunpay Liquor Trar- ¥ic.—The temperance people of Jersey City having entered earnestly upon the attempt to break up the liquor traffic, have procured the entering of eleven hundred complaints against various persons, and a number have been al- Teady convicted. On Sunday not a single drunken person was seen in tha streets, and it is said if any person should be caught coming out of a tavern the least intoxicated, he would be arrested and locked up as a witness. There are but two places licensed to sell liquor, and those are hotels Export oF American PRinting Presses. The New York Express says: Persons who have visited the printing establishments of London, Paris, and Leipsic, have remarked that the book presses in universal use there re- quire twice the amount of manual labor in Producing about half the work of the “Adams Press,”’.commonly used in this country. With- in a few weeks a member of an Edinburgh publishing house, on a visit here, has ordered the Adams press for his establishment, and taken out American pressmen to work it. The higher price of books abroad is in some de- gree owing to the inferior machinery employ- ed for their press work. WHERE THE MONEY WENT To.—Mr. James McHenry’s house, which lately suspended at Livepool, is said by the New York Times to hold claims on American reclamations to the amount of £200,000, or a million: of dollars. Among the advances is said to have been one of £40,000, or £200,000 on the caloric ship Ericsson, for which tae house has a mortgaze on the ship, As now dismantled, and with the ealoric experiment given over as a failure, she is probably not worth half the money.

G. Squier’s work on Nicaragua has recently been published in Leipsic ina German dress, with an Introduction by the re- nowned geographer Car! Ritter. This is one of the many facts which goto show thatin foreign countries American literature is not WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Sectionalism.—The New York Commercial Advertiser, seizing upon the recent expres- sion of our opinion that every southern mem- ber of the next House of Representatives will be a supporter of the present Adminis- tration in all the general features of its poli- cy, makes that (our declaration) @ pretext for charging southern sectionalism upon the Pres. ident and his constitutional ‘advisers, and urges that this expected favor, which the Ad- ministration is to receive at the hands of the South, is the result of its favor for the South as against the North. The repeal of the Mis- souri Compromise is, of course, he argument to prove the Advertiser's case. Through our spectacles, the matter wears a very different appearance. The South simply realize that the present Administration are fimly bent on discharging their duty of protecting the rights of all sections of the confederacy, and keeping the Federal Government, while they may be responsible for its conduct, within the limits prescribed in the Constitution for its action They see a majority of the North, though dif- fering widely on all other points, uniting in a coalition avowedly to make war on the south- ern section of the confederacy, and northern eongervative journals of the stamp of this same Commercial Advertiser, protesting to day against the foul injustice and probable dangerous consequeuces of such a coalition to the future of the Union, and, to-morrow falling into that same current’ for what they may be able to make temporarily, by being on the pop; ular side. The South knows that its only sulva- tion t the Unton is inthe rule of a National Ad- ministration sufficiently patriotic, national and sagacious to take good care that this coalition shall not, by overt acts, drive them (the South) to a separation during its existence; and without distinction of pclitical party, they are evidently about to stand by the present Administration, just as they were prepared to stand by the Administration of Millard Fill- more, had such a contest asthe present one arisen during its existence. Whatever may be thought of the Fillmoré administration on other points, it is admitted by all thaf it felt the just responsibilities of its position as the sworn protector of tae rights of all sections of the Union, and on account of its consistent conduct in all sectional issues it enjoyed the entire confidence of the South, in the integrity of its purpose in that connection. Were it in existence at this moment, guided by the same wise and patriotic councils that dictated its policy where questions involving the slavery issue may be concerned, it would receive just such countenance from an unsnimous South, as the present Administration is about to re- ceive in the approaching southern elections. The Calculations of the Missourians.—Wo Tearn from authority, in which we have every confidence, that the most active anti-Abolition leaders in western Missouri and Kansas are satisfied that a large portion of those being sent to Kansas by the Northern Anti-slayery Emigration Aid societies will vote to legalize slavery in Kansas! These parties ceem to be perfectly satisfied that the emigrants of the class to which oe refer above will very gener- ally vote on the question according to their own interest, without the slightest reference to the sentiments of their patrons, whose iden- tification (of the managera) with all sorts of speculations, to be made profitable by plant- ing settlers, has satisfied the great body of those they have so far sent out, that, while pretending to be laboring in the cause of hu- manity, they merely aim to fill their own pock- ets through the use cf these colonists. It struck us all along that gain must be at the bottom of the unexampled New England pat- riotism and philanthropy or Messrs. Eli Thayer «& Co.; and the particulars of this news from that quarter satisfies us of the correctness of this original judgment. ° The settlements of of these Emigrant Aid societies go, in Kansas, by the sobriquet of “Yankee Doodledom,”’ and are tabooed by all not immediately con- nected with them, as it is well understood throughout all that region that those settled in them are to be used as mere “ hewers of wood and drawers of water’’—white slaves— to work for the profit of the town builders and other new-country speculators who figure as tie managing men of the colonies. Philosophy at a -Discount.—Our friend Fuller, of the New York Mirror, thus hits off the philosophers of the Tribune; “It is somewhat instructive that, since the war in Europe begun the V’r/bxne has criti- caily fought over every skirmish and battle, correcting at a distance of some thousands oi miles, the military errors of the Kussians and the Allies, and winning on paper every field lost im actual conflict. The war, left to the Tribune, would have been ended by the fall of Cronstradt, St. Petersburg and Sevastapol, months ago. Lhe U'ribune editors are immense conquerors, reformers and saviors, in theory. but awful failers and destructives,in fact. It is very easy for them, safe in their sanctums, to critical ly save steamships, reform Congress, and regenerate society. but they do nothing of the kind in reality, The truth is, their yoca- tion is to snarl and howl over what they con- ceive to be the errors of others.” There is much more truth in this short ex- tract than we are of late accustomed to find in so few lines of the editorials ofan exchange paper. The philosophers, by-the-by, are ina bad way, just now. They are snarling and howling more furiously than ever before, espying afar off the noarly certain defeat of Clark & Co., and, with it, of all their chorish- ed schemes for the triumph of Abolitionism, Maine-liquor-law-ism, Women-in-breeches- ism, &c.,in 1856. Those sympathising with them were apparently earnest Know Nothings. until aus suver Greys proved to be stronger in the secret conclaves than themselves. Though willing to stultify their labors of the last ten years by secretly embracing apd pledging themselves to the doctrines of Know Nothing- ism, (which are directiy the reverse of their political equality-for-the-negro-tenets,) so long as they appeared likely to profit by such con- duct, the moment they find themselves out- maneuvered in the lodges, they leave them and commence howling at them. Not because they are really attached to the abiding American constitutional principle of the civil equality of all religious creeds under this ‘overnment, but simply because they find that sharper poli- ticians than themselves have outwitted them— have got ahead of them in directing the adtion of the Know Nothing party in New York. Their present howl is one of disappointment, merely. The Death of Gov Burt cannot fail to raise up & host of candidates for the now vacant governorship of Nebraska. ‘There will be at least thirty or forty ex-members of Congress after it in full chace within forty-eight hours after the news of the existence of the vacancy shall have been disseminated in all directions by telegraph. ‘The place:is particularly desir- able to thode who, having’ gota taste of the luxury of being in public life, have been sent adrift by the people knowing them besh from the fact that the governorship of a United States Territory, besides” offering advantages for oventual successful speculation in the public lands, also bids fair to lead to a seat in the United States Senate. Such has notoriously been the tendency of affairs on the admission of new States into the Union. The “Great Sale of Lots in Kansas.""—Per- ceiving a paragraph going the rounds of the papers with the above heading, doscriptive of a recent sale of lots in the proposed new town of Leavenworth, opposite Fort Leavenworth, we have to say that no title worth a baubee can be giver for the property sold on that oo~ casion at enermously high prices, The site of the proposed new town in question is upon lands ceded by the Indians to the United States in trust for their own benefit; ‘and of course to be so sold by the General Govern- ment. The sellers profess to give only squat- ters pre-emption titles, which the Attorney General has unhesitatingly declared not worth any thing to lands so ceded. The lands in question have never yet been even surveyed under the authority of the United States. Those who paid money to the parties selling those lots, will find to their cost that the title they are to got is not worth a chew of to- bacco. . Clerical Appointments. — Yesterday, Mr. Wm. M. Fitzhugh, of Georgetown, D. C., was appointed to a second class ($1,400) clerkship in the General Land Office, in place of R. L. Ream, resigned.

It appears from the following circular, addressed to the faithful throughout the State, that the leaders of his party are satisfied that he is ‘‘ an American and nothing else.” We give it to our readers as a portion of the news of the day : OrFic& OF THE GRAND SECRETARY, New York, Oct. 17, 1854. Brotuers: The report having been indus- triously circulated that the State nominations were not fairly made by the Grand Council, the Grand Officers feel it their duty to make the following statements, to wit : First: That when the test question was put, that ‘‘ we go into independent nominations,” it was carried by at least two thirds majority. Second: That, when the vote was taken, each subordinate Council was called by the Secretary, and that the following was the vote thus polled : For Governor—J. W. Savago, 114; T. R. Whitney, 45 ; Babcock, 63 ; J. B. Williams, 5 ; Campbell, 1; Wedgewood, 3; Wood, 1; M. H Clark, 25; G. C. Bronson, 1; Daniel Ull- mann, 256. Total number of votes cast, 514. After the above result was announted, a motion was made that the nomination be de- clared unanimous, which prevailed without a dissenting voice. The Grand Officers therefore beg to assure each and every subordinate Council that the nominations were honestly and fairly made by a majority of all the representatives ent, The grand officers also appeal to the subor- dinate Councils for funds, by way of donations, to sUDpOrE the ticket put forth by this Order Our banner has been thrown to the breeze; we have no outside organization; we need funds to support and establish the American princi- ple in this State. Will our Brethren through- out the State come to the rescue? We levy no tax, but do affectionately ask of each and every subordinate Council, that it will imme- diately contribute as liberally as possible to the support of our ticket. All remittances should be made withoutdelay. We confidently believe that ali will act promptly and liberally. We are satisfied that with a few thousand dol- lars we can triumphantly carry this grext State. We have but three weeks to organize, to work. Brothers, be prompt, be active, be determined and liberal, and a glorious victory awaits you and us. The report, also, having been diligently cir- culated by our enemies—enemies to the cause of our glorious country—that our candidate for Governor is a foreigner by birth, each and all the undersigned beg leave to submit the following statement in reference to Daniel Ullmann ; He was born in tho city of Wilmington, and State of Delaware. He has never been absent from the United States for a single day. He is of Protestant faith, and so also were his par- ents and grandparents. His grandfather and father took an active part in the war ef the Revolution on the Republican side. His an- cestors were Huguenots, (French Protestants,) and suffered in the persecutions consequent upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in 1685. Fraternally : - James W. Barker, G. P. Josxra E.

Empty champagre bottles are bought at the hotels and other places, the labels are ingeniously imitated, and the whole finishing and packing are in exact imitation of the genuine article. The effervescence is given to the cider by forcing air into the bottles. The spurious champagne is sold in great quantities to the hotels and to dealers, and thé quantity of it drank, it is said, greatly exceeds that of the genuine importation. { While the Know Nothing convention Was in secret session in Boston, one day last week, fn a church, a reporter determined to know something, concealed himself in a kind of font or tank, used for baptismal purposes.

THE BATTLE OF ALMA. ‘We are in possession of the fall details of the battle fought at Alma, Russia, between the Allied and Russian armies, brought by the Niagara. As the morning papers contain a long sccount of this battle, we deem it neces- sary only to give our readers the aa THE FRENCH DESPATCH. Marshal St. Arnaud’s last Official Despatch announcing the Victory of the Alma. The Moniteur contains the following official despatch, addressed by Marechal de St. Ar- naud to the Hmperor—the last, unfortunately, which the Marechal was destined to write: “Field of Battle of Sept. 21. “Sire,—The cannon of your Ma: has spoken; we heve gained s ‘complete Itisa mores day, ays; to _ ome miles : annals of France, and your Majesty will have one nathe~more to ane Ae the Mvioteries which adorn the flags of the French army. “The Russians had yesterday assembled all their forces, and collected all their means, in order to oppose the passage of the Alma. Prince Menschikoff commanded in pergon. All the heights were crowded with redoubts and formidable batteries. The Russian army reck- oned 40,000 bayonets, from all the points of the Crimea; in the morning there arrived from Theodosia 6,000 cavalry and 180 pieces of heavy and field artillery. From the heighte which they occupied, the Russians could count |" our men man by man from the 19th to the moment when we arrived on the Bubbanach. * * * Prince Napoleon, at the head of his diviaion, took possession of the large vil- lage of Alma under the: fire. of the Russian batteries. The Prince showed himself worthy of the great name he bears. We then arrived at the foot of the heights under the fire of the Russian batteries. There, sire, commenced a real battle along all the line—a battie with its episodes of brilliant feats of valor. Your Majesty may be proud of your soldiers; they have not degenerated ; they are the soldiers of Austerliiz and of Jena. At half-past 4 the French army was everywhere victorious. All the pogitions had been carwed at the point of the begoust to the cry of ‘ Vive l’Empereur,’ which resounded throughout theday, Never was such enthusiasm seen; even the wounded rose from the ground to joininit. On our left, the Exglish met with large masses of the ene- my, AS with great difficulties, but everything was surmounted. The English attacked the Russian positions in admirable order under the fire of their canpon, carried them, and drove off the Rus sians. The bravery of Lord Raglan rivals that of antiquity. In the midst of cannon and muz- ket shot he Uis; layed a calmness which never left him. The French lines formed on the heights, and the artillery opened its fire. Then_| it was no longer aretreat, butarout; the Rus- sians threw away their muskets and knapsacks in order to run the faster. If, sire, I had had cavalry, I should have obtained immense re- sults, and Menschikoff would no longer have had-an army; but it was late, our troops were harrassed, and the ammunition of the artil- lery was exhausted. At six o’clock in the evening we encamped on the very bivouac of the Russians. My tent is on the very spot where that of Prince Menschikoff stood in the morning, and who thought himself so sure of beating us that he left his carriage there. I have taken possession of it, with his pocket- book and correspondence, and shall take ad- vantuge of the valuable information it con» tains. The Russian {army will probably be able to rally two leagues from this, and I shall find it to-morrow on the Katscha, but beaten and deMoralized, while the allied army is full of ardor and enthusiasm. T have been compelled to remain here fn order to send our wounded and those of the Russians to Constantinople, and to procure ampunition and provisions for the fleet. The English have had 1,500 men put hors de cem- bat. The Duke of Cambri is well; his division and that of Sir @. Brown were su- perb. I have to report about 1,200 men hors de combat, 3 officers killed, 64 wounded, 253 sub-officers and soldiers killed, and 1,033 wounded. Gen. Canrobert, to whom is due in part the honor of the day, was slightly wound- ed by the splinter of a shell which struck him in the breast and hand, but he is doing very well. Gen. Thomas, of the division of the Prince, is seriously wounded by a ball in the abdomen. The Russians have lost about 5.000 men. The field of battle is covered with their dead, and our field hospitals are full of their wounded. We have counted a proportion of seven Russian dead bodies for one French. The Russian artillery caused us loss, but ours is very superior to theirs. I shall all my life regret not having had with me my two regi- ment of African chaéseurs. The Zouaves were the-admiration of both armies; they are the first soldiers in the wgrld. Accept, sire, the homage of my profound re- spect and entire devotedness. Marsuat A. pg Saint ARNAUD. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. Their oss put down at but 2,000. Marshal Paskiewitch issued a Bulletin, on the 3d, at Warsaw, giving the Russian version of the battle atthe Alma. The loss of the allies is reported to have far exceeded that of Prince Menschikoff. The Kussian loss is put down at but 2,000 (the soa say it is penny 6,000 !) and on the whole the Warsaw despatc is made to read pretty much as if the victory was altogether on the side of the Russians in- stead of against them. The carriage of Prince Menschikoff, with his private correspondence, was taken:by the French, together with 50,000f. After the bat- tle the Russians burnt all the villages they assed through. Menschikoff, (an English account says,) was suffering severely from illness during the hot- test of the battle—so much so that he had to be supported. One account says that he is pea wounded in fhe feet—another in the ands, BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE. Battimorg, Oct. 25, 1854. It would appear from caucus movements of our new “Know Nothing” City Couneil elect, that they are determined to manufacture popularity upon the score of retrenchment and reform. A commence- ment has already been made, by proposing to reduce the salaries of the recording and reading clerks of the separate branches from §6 to $4 and §3 per day. All sinecure offices are te be abolished, and others razeed, Economy is a jewel of high value; but, I fear, if practiced and carried out as contem- plated, the result will be deleterious. The Councils sitan Average of about twelve weeks in. the year ; this would yield the poor clerk, at the old per diem, only $432—1ittle enough in all conscience for a per- son of sufficient competency to discharge the dutice devolving upon that responsible station. The la borer is worthy of his hire, and to my mind 6 per day is not any too much for one who abandons a Tegular business fur the transitory, uncertain tenure of «ffice. The policy is a mistaken one, whether in public office or in a private capacity, to stint those Who have the actual labor to periorm. All such should be liberally rewarded. Tomakea set, there- fore, at these poor subordinates, evinces a want of true liberality, and ind.cative of small minds and diminuuve ideas of economy. There are other means ‘by which a more magnanimous strike might be made at retorm and retrenchment. it has long been suggested that the members of our city Councils, feeithg a deep personal interest in the corporation’s welfare, give their services, which at best amount {o but little, free of charge. ‘The pres- ent per diem of each member is $1.50, and the num- ber of members comprising beth branches, thirty, Here is an item worth saving.

The Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company are in session at Liberty Hall. Quite a number ot the stockholders are in attendance, and the meetings are highly interesting to those eo«cerned. The pub- lished reports exhibit a highly flattering condition of the company’s affairs. Next Monday our firemen have a grand gala. The Hydraulion Fire Company intend openiog the La- dies’ Fair for their benefit by a firemen’s procession, and, we understand, the Sun and Friendship Fire Companies intend uniting with them upon the occa- sion.
