EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: 1>-The large circulation of the Stan makesit the most desirable advertising me- dium in the District. - It has more readers m the cities of Washington, Georgetown, end Alexandria, than al! the other Wash- angton dailies combined. Ee" Persons wanting the Evening Star in Baltimore, can procure it early every afier- Boon at Henry Taylor’s Newspaper Depot, “Bun Iron Buildings.” er SPIRIT OF THK MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer quotes Senator Shields to prove that the friends of the Nebraska bill at the West contend, not only that it ie right in principle, but that its operation will militate against, rather than in favor of, the extension of slavery. The Union joins issue with the Charleston Mercury upon the question of the propriety of the slave trade, and, while using up that Journal’s arguments, compliments the editor for the straightforward manline:s with which he meets the questions involved in their con- troversy. The same paper rebukes the men- dacity of some of the New York city presses, &s manifesied by their failure tu adknowledge the injustice done Mr. Belmont by their false publications, charging him with following the banking business at the Hague. The organ also contains an article from the Philadelphia Siptscopal Recorder, refuting the roorback against the Kev. Clement M. Butler, late of this city, retailed by the editor of the New York Pick—Scovill—in his pretended account of the last hours of Mr. Calhoun. In this con- nection we have io add merely, that for those who know this Mr. Scovill, no such contra- diction of his slander was necessary. The Sentinel cautions the South against falling into the Know Nothing ranks. HENRY A. WISE. This gentleman, who is now in Washington, das caused to be published in the Richmond Enquirer an olaborate letter from his pen on the subject of Know Nothingism, in which he reviews the whole of our public (national) his- tory as bearing upon religious equality under the government of the United States, and upon the naturalization question. This paper, which nearly fills a whole page of the Enquirer, is the ablest document we have ever read from under his hand; which is saying much for it, indeed. He is utterly and uncompromisingly opposed to secret combinations to connect re- ligion with pelitics in this country, and ar- gees with great power and ability to show that they are directly in opposition to all the principies of Americanism, the Constitution and the Laws, and that they are more dan- gerous to the liberties of ozr country than e@aght else ever attempted in connection with American politics. Whether the reader may agree or disagree with Mr. Wise, all will fird in the paper in question a most interesting, absorbing document, full of learning, sarcasm, wit, and logic. It will, probably, be publish- ed and re-published in all quarters of the country. So it will shortly be within the reach of every one, and will, doubtless, be as extensively read as anything ever written in the United States. ———~+ee—______ The New Steamer Louisiana. The Baltimore and Norfolk Steam Packet Oompany, of which Moore N. Falls is Presi- dent, have just built and tried a new steam- ahip for their Chesapeake Bay route. She hhas been named the “ Louisiana,” and will be commanded by Captain George W. Russell, Jong commander in the bay line, and one of the most popular and skilful officers that ever sailed out Baltimore. The new steamer mea- sures over 1,100 tons, and is 275 feet long, 500 horse power, and 35 feet diameter of wheel. ‘There are 70 state-rooms, with the President’s xoom, bridal chambers, and other accommo- dations for 500 sleepers. Ten rooms with double bedsteads and baths, have been set apart specially for families. The painting is white and gold. While she may be com- mended as a floating palace, it is agreeable to remark what has been often said with truth, that neither life nor limb has ever been lost in twenty years on this safe, prompt, and plea- gant route on which the new ship is soon to take her place. It is said that om her trial trip, day before yesterday, the new steamer made 18 miles per hour. 3" “ A Treatise on the Camp and March ; with which is connected the construction of Meld works and military bridges; with an appendix of artillery ranges, &c.

The disease thus superin- duced very closely resembles cholera, and utterly defies medical skill. ————$— Novewsun Exscrioxs.—On the 7th of No- vember, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, are to elect fifty- four members of Congress.

A Sweeping Change of Front.—For ten years past the Abolitioniats and Free Soilers have been making the welkin ring with their shouts for the equal rights of down-tredden humanity. They have been preaching the immorality’of the South for refusing to en- franchise her negro slaves, who, according to the arguments of their ministers, lecturers, writers and stump slang-whangers, are endowed with all the attributes of intellectual and moral manhood possessed by any class of the whites on this side of the Atlantic. If ever men were committed irrevocably to.any political axiom, the Abolitionists have been so committed to that of the justice and entire propriety of at once “ restoring” the colored race of the North American continent to the rights of perfect equality, social and political, with the whites, which they insist are wrong- fully withheld from them. This doctrine has formed the very basis of all that the Aboli- tionists have been contending for, and to achieve which they have even recommended the slaves not only to elope, but to poison, murder and burn. Sutidenly, however; we find them striving to become the very head and front of the new political anti-Catholic and anti-foreigner organization. In Maine, every candidate of the Know Nothings elect- the determination of the President and his constitutional advisers that those in their em- ployment, in all Vepartments of the Govern- ment, shall leave office with as clean hands as they had on entering the public service. This praiseworthy determination on their part, however, cannot be carried out without the exercise of great emphasis in the management of their thousands of employees on the fron- tiers, for which, we spprehend, there was never greater need than at the present mo- ment. A Indictments under the Sub-Treasury Law. We understand that three indictments under the penal clause of the Sub-Treasury law, are pending in Ohio. One against J. H. Forsyth, late collector at Maumee; another against C. L. Russell, late collector at Cleveland; and the third against C. K. Smith, late Territorial Secretary of Minesota. We have every reason to believe that the indictment of the last named, Mr. Smith, arose out of a misapprehension of some portion of the instructions of the Treasury Department, which certainly imagines that Mr. S. will take an early opportunity to settle his accounts with the the United States, with- out compelling the enforcement of the penal olause of the Sub-Treasury law in his case. The United States Sloop-of-War John 4Adams.—The Navy Department has informa- ed—Governor, member of Congress or of the Legislature, is also a Free Soiler—every one ofthem. So, also, in Ohio, Indiana and Penn- sylvania, nearly every one chosen in the re- cent elections, by the aid of the Know Nothing votes, are vehement Free Soilers,—men who, a few short weeks ago, were proclaiming that the negroes of the South should be enfran- chised. They have suddenly discovered that their late cherished theory is all wrong. That all men in this country should not be endowed with all the privileges of citizenship. Cer- tainly that the native-born of the Catholic faith, and all the foreign-born among us should be exceptions to the rule otherwise to be so general @@ to embrace under its blessings the three millions of ignorant slaves of the South- ern States. ‘“Itis a poor rule which won’t work both ways,’’ the old “‘ saw” says. In this case they have manifestly stultified themselves. If they were right four months ago, they are certainly very wrong now. Or if right in their favorite axiom at this time, they have been most egregiously in error for ten years past. We rejoice over the fact that they have so soon endeavored to rush to the front rank of the new political organization; inasmuch as their act, in so doing, is a com- plete answer to all their arguments in favor of the enfranchisement of the negro, on the ground not only of his inherent right, but of his fitness, to ve socially and politically the equal of the white in this country, Having tion of the sailing of this ship from Boston.

A New Naval Contract.—We hear on the avenue this morning, that the authorities ef the Navy Department have awarded to Pease & Murphy, of the Fulton Iron Works, New York city, the contract for the machinery of the re- maining steam frigate (the Niagara) to be built in New York, their plans and bids proving most acceptable after the long and careful investi- gation which the board of Naval Engineers, convened fer the purpose, have given to the subject. An Indian Agent Appointed —Abraham G. Mayers, of Arkansas, has been appoint Agent for the Indians in New Mexico, to fill a vacancy which has for some time existed there.

The Government’s Obligations to Indian Tribes.—It will be recollected, that in the treaties made during the last session of Con- gress with the various tribes of Nebraska and Kansas Indians, clauses were introdused, in- tended to initiate the proposed new system of dealing with the aborigines, which looks to their perpetuation and improvement as the grand aim of the Government’s future dealings with them, rather than to getting them out of the way of the schemes of the rapacious whites pressing upon them, at any cost to their future, which has really formed the sum and substance of the policy of the United States towards the tribes, one and all, up very nearly to this time, though the aim of those having the chief au- thority here has, of course, been very differ- erent. The clauses to which we refer not only provide for the sale of portions of their lands for their immediate benefit, as has been pro- vided in many previous Indian treaties, but authorizes the Government to administer the funds thus created as in its judgment may seem best for the future of its wards. In this latter feature lies the difference. Experience proves, that when money £0 obtained for the Indjans is payable directly to them or their assignees in hard cash, it almost invariably operates as a powerful lever for increasing their demoralization and hastening their ex- tinction. In fact, scones always follow, in paying Indian annuities in cash, such as those in sea-ports have often witnessed after the paying off the crew of a man of-war, when three-fourths of the men enter into a contest, as it were, to test whioh of them can soonest and most viciously spend the hard earnings of his long voyage. We make this comparison by way of illustrating to the comprehension of all our Atlantic-slope fellow-citizens tne gross evils of the old system. Government, in in- sisting in the new treaties on being left free to jucge how the money coming to the Indians shall be expended for their benefit, have laid the foundation for the regeneration ot the remain- ing tribes, if this wise provision be as wisely ad- ministered, as made. There’s the rub, however. If the Government, in any of its departments Greeley Answered. In commenting upon our news item about the cost of the reclamation of the fugitive Burns, the Tribune says : “ Twenty-seven thousand dollars is the de- clared cost of catching and sending into slavery of the negro Burns. en thousand of the sum was paid from the United States Treasury yesterday morning. Hail, Columbia! happy land!”’ In response to which the Express says: ‘‘What that ‘ Hail’ is for, unless it be that the nallifiers of the Federal centract, to sur- render fugitive slaves, cost the Federal Trea- sury, 80 much money, we cannot see. ‘ Hail’ down theConstitution! ‘ Hail’ down the bar- gain,—the plighted faith of the Adamses, the Shermans, the Franklins of the North, as well agofthe Washingtons and Madisons of the South. Well, ‘ Hail’ away.” ee Dousrrv. Com.—Counterfeit quarter eagles which almost defy detection, are in circulation in New York. They are said te be made from a genuine New Orleans Mint die, stolen some years since, and bears the “0”? under the ta- lons of the eagle. Professor Torry, Assayer, at New York, has analyzed tho coin, and finds that it is made of a casing of pure gold, filled with silver; and probably platina, to increase the weight. The weight is 60 5-10 grains, which is only four grains light, and the casing of gold weighs 30-1-10 grains. It is therefore worth $1.17 in gold, and 8 cents in silver, or 1.25 in raw material, beside the la- bor of making. The maker and vender could net, therefore, realise more than $1 each, which would seem too small a profit, except that the counterfeit is so well done that there is but little risk of detection. Oxi0 Exection.—The Cincinnati Gazette publishes official returns of the vote for Judge of the Supreme Court in forty-five counties of Ohio, which isa little more than half the State. It shows, so far, a majority for Swan, the Whig and Anti-Nebraska candidate, of 55,762 votes. Of these forty-five counties, all except one give majorities for Swan. The Gasette says that the entire majority in the State for the anti- Nebraska ticket will be over seventy-five thousand, and the majority on the Congressional vote will be even larger. Vax Buren’s. AvrosiogRaray.—The Bos- ton Post says: An extract from a private let- ter informs us that “Mr. Van Buren is at Vevay in Switserland, and is earnestly at work upon his autobiography, in which he has already advanced some two or three hundred pages. He is very much interested in the work, and so will his readers be when it is published, which will not be until after his death, and that event, judging from his present connected with Indian affairs, shall lack en- ergy ot integrity of purpose in the administra- tion of these new treaties, the promise te the Indian will be kept only to the ear. Unfor tunately for the purpose of those here to deal fairly-with their charge, of late years too many of their civil and military employes in the far West become bitten by the mania for speoula- tion raging there #0 universally. Those who have succumbed to that mania should be di:- charged, or at least removed from their pres- ent stations, or the wise precautions of the new treaties will be powerless for good results. No speculating public officer can be relied on to protect the Indians in their rights, when the latter come in conflict with schemes of profit by the invasion of those rights, in which he is interested. We are impelled to the duty of thus plainly calling the attention of those composing the Government here to the neces- sity of keeping their eyes. wide open ‘at this time, by the rumors of the improper specula- tions of all sorts of people, including Govern.

Why the Plan of Operations were Changed. Vice Admiral Hamelin thus explaies, in a dispatch to his government, the cause of the change of plan of operations by the allied generals: é It was on the 23d of September that I was enabled to inform the Marshal of the desper- ate determination to which the Russians had come, of sinking, at the entrance of their port of Sevastopol, five ships-of the-line and two frigates, only retaining in the interior of that port nine ships, two ef them three-deckers, | _ which, according to the account given by Polish sailors who had deserted, they meant to deal with in the same way when once as- sured of the capture of Sevastopol. This news, which the Marshal eould not avoid characterizing as deplorable in more than one point of view, tended to modify his plans of attack. In fact, it was to a certain extent admitted that when once Fort Constan- tine was taken, and the batteries raised at the northern part of the fort were carried, the fleet then bearing upon the port and destroy- ing barricades, would not only finish the work of the army by attacking the batteries of the south, but would be able to give some assist- ance to that army, whatever might be the weather and the season in the pert of Sevas- topol itself. The blocking up of the port, therefore, entirely changed the aspectof, things, and as, besides, external works had recently been raised round Fort Constantine to render the approaches as difficult as they were fatal, the Genersls-in-Chief decided upon turning Sevastopol by the east and throwing them- selves upon the south of the town to attack it upon that side, which was scarcely defended, or entirely undefended, after they had placed themselves in communication with the fleets at Balaklava, and obtained provisions and munitions. Foreian Coar—RurxaL tas Dury on Coan —A petition to Congress for the repeal of the duty on foreign coal has been placed in the Boston Merchants’ Exchange, and has al- ready received a large number of signatures. The following is the language of the petition, and tersely expresses the sentiments of the whole people : To the Honorable Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States: The undersigned people of the United States and residents of Boston, in the State of Massa- chusetts, respectively petition your honorable bodies to repeal all di now existing by law upon the introduction of foreign coals. Recent action of the most prominent coal operators in the country has demonstrated the impropriety of further protection of an inter- est abundantly able to take care of itself; and ys Pe pemoners represent that an immediate repeal ot the existing burthensome National Coal Tax would be hailed with satisfaction by every class of the community not directly in- terested in speculative combination to raise the price of coal.
