EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: TUESDAY AFTERNOON. .....Movember 14 > A. B. Owens, No. 70 High st., Ports- mouth, Va., will farnish subscribers to the evening Star with their papers regularly every morning after its issue. @ Jznmaan Krowett, Eaq., is appointed our agent for collecting subscriptions to the Daily Evening Star and Weekly Star, in the State of Virginia. We commend him to the kind attention of our friends. E> W. M. Mitts, at Fredericksburg, V., is prepared to furnish subscribers to the Star with their papers early every morning. Per- sons wanting the paper will be promptly at- tended to by leaving their names and ad- dresses with him. —— ee SPIEIT OF THE MORNING PRES? We have received the first number. of the “‘Organ,’’ V. Ellis, editor, and R. M. Heath, assistant. It is calm and dinifted, and declines roaking war on the Catholic Church. The number in question is principally occupied with a synopsis of the editor’s political his- tory, and the republication of a Native Amer- joan Address from his pen, written in 1841. The Intelligencer discusses Russian politi- cal affairs, and shows us that even in the Osar’s dominions, ‘‘party” rages as vehement- ly as elsewhere in the civilized world. The Union rejoices over the telegrapbic dispatch from Chicago, claiming the election of four Democrats from Illinois to Congress, which, it contends, breaks the power of Know Nothingism. The same paper comments with severity on the pertinacity with which the New York Tridune got up slanders against many gentlemen during the late canvass in New York. The Sentinel describes the political and civil difficulties for society involved m the spread of Mormonism and its growing strength. Scresrivic Starr Buitper.—Robart Rid- die, of Philadelphia, has shown us a copy of this work. It contains ferty plates, with clear and full explanations, and seems to be just such 8 work as a carpenter wants, as it asaista | him in the construction of band rails... For.the apprentice it will-be the beacon of -his trade. We refer to Mr. R.’s advertisement in another column as to where he can be seen. New Mocsic.—Mrs. G. Anderson has laid on our table the following pieces of new music: “ Dream Life Shottisch;’’ ‘“ Recolleo- tion De Rhine Shottisch;”’ the “Old Hundred Psalm,” transcribed for the piano by Wm. V. yallace; “ Youth is Life’s Time of May;’’ * Annie, dear, Good Bye;’’ and “ When Shall We Meet?” all composed by William V. Wallace. The New York Election. The Governorship of this State is still in- volved in doubt. We give below the latest in relation to the sabject, by telegraph and from our New Yerk exchanges. The following is the latest from the papers of this morning, by telegraph : Axbaxy, Nov. 13—Clark, the Whig candi- date for Governor is probably elected. The Argus foots up the returns for to-morrow’s is- sue, as follows : Clark (Whig)..-....0026 seeeeee 129,108 Seymour (Dem.)... 128,752 These returns do mot include Clark’s esti- mated majorities in Fulton, Hamilton, Schen- ectady, and Thompkins counties, which added to the above, gives Clark a total majority of 7 7 The Tvibume, @ strong Clark paper, of yes- torday morning, says, when summing up the zeturngs ; “Horatio Seymour is certainly chosen Gov- ernor, and by at least Three Thousand ma- rity.” In the evening edition, after examining the columns of his morning contemporaries, the editor says: “Our cae still continue to figure out Clark ahead of Seymour, but we cannot. On the whele, we cannot cypher Seymour below 2,000 majority.”’ The New York papers of last evening have the following : Auzaxr, Nov. 13, 14 p. m—The Argus foots up the votes for Governor, down to the pres- « at moment, as follows : ronson ..---- 26,445 Ullman.......109,696 Vlark... +126,803 Seymour......127,823 ‘The counties of Fulton, Hamilton, Schenec- tady and Tompkins, and also 117 towns in other counties not tncluded. The Register foots up : Seymour......124,719 Clark ........124,968 Bronson...... 25,580 Ullman.. -105,409 The Congress Delegation will stand—Whigs Fusionists, and Anti-Nebrasksa, 26; Demo- er The Assembly returns, though not altogeth- er reffable, foot up—Whigs 82; Democrats 38; Bemgperance and Independent 3. Ear The Protestant chapel in Rome isin the bouse of Mr. Cass, the American Minister, who alone has the right to a Protestant chap- sein. The epartment has been handsomely feted up by Mr. C., and the chaplain is sup- ported by the American and Foreign Chris- ian Union. The British Government has no diplomatic relations with the Pope, and con- sequently the English are not allowed a chapel within the walls. The American chapel will bold about two hundred persons, and is fre- quently crowded to its utmost capacity. “Diawonn Cor Diawosp.”—Judging from the recent election returaos, the Whigs and Democrats have used Know Nothingism to thrash each other with. Where the Democrats bave been strong the Whigs fused with the Know Nothings to beat them, and in the Whig stronghold of Massachusetts the Democracy went Know Nothingism, and have routed their opponents “ horse, foot and dragoon.”’ “It’s a }0or rule that wont work both ways.” YuLiow Feven.—Accounts from New Or- Jeans mention that the fever had appeared and was raging with much violence at Attak- spas and Opelousas, La., and nurses and phy- sicians had been sent for from New Orleans. [3 A snow storm commenced in Boston on Saturday, and continued until Sunday after- noon, when it turned into rain. It rained hard all day yesterday in Boston. @ A large amount of Money, it is said, changed hands in New York on the Mayor’s election. They are still betting on the Gov- ernor’s vote. Ca Detroit papers state that the Saut Canal will be completed by the 15th instant. This magnificent work will contain within its lim- its the largest locks in the world. Ee What has become of the New York Mirror? Has it cut the acquaintance of the Star? {9" Mons. Mailefort is removing the roeks in she rapids of ize St. Lawrence river. WASHI=utoe NKWS AND GOSSIP. Mr. Soule.—We clip the following from the New York Evening Post of Saturday : ‘We have good reason for believing that Mr. Soule expects to return to the United States within the next two months; that he Proposes upon his return to Madrid to demand some official apology from the Spanish Gov- ernment for the insult which our Government is alleged to have sustained in the Black War- rior case, and presuming that his demand will be refused, he intends to demand his passport and come home at once. In reference to the humble apology offered to the Spanish government by the owners of the Black Warrior some time since, and which was sup to relieve our Government from any further concern in the matter, Mr. Soule, it is said, takes the position that the Black Warrior was a United States mail steamer, and that no concessions on the part of her owners could repair the damaged honor of the fiag which the steamer carried. Whether this course has been one of the fruits ot the Ostend conference, or the result of Mr. Soule’s own convictions of duty under his instructions, we are unable to say.”’ 1 This is a mere elaboration of a dispatch from this city, published in the New York morning papers of Saturday last. We haveto say of it, that we are satisfied that up to9 8. m. yesterday, nothing had reached Wash- ington from Madrid or elsewhere, to justify the impression that any thing had actually o0- curred to bring Mr. Soule home in the man- ner set forth above. The America’s Wash- ington mails have, however, since been dis- tributed, and we should not be surprised if the despatches said to have come by her embrace facts which make our relations with Spain even more delicate than before. As for the general course which tre Post says that Mr. S. designs pursuing with reference to the Black Warrior affair, it strikes us that the} F editor as well as the telegraphie reporters are making a jumble of the matter, nothing being embraced in this “ news,’’ which was not stated in the President’s message on the sub- ject, perhaps six months ago. Indeed, the paragraph we quote,” by no means embraces half the points made in that document, all of which, it was long since un- derstood everywhere, Mr. Soule was instructed to make. It will be remembered that the case is exceedingly complicated; that there are other claimants on accouht of the Black‘War- rior outrage besides thé’ Giners’ of fhe ship, and also that theré id kr Sve quéstion of’ o fended ‘Rotor’ with thé" Goyernment of ‘the United States, thaf ought to be settledthortly. Under these circumstances, we confess we are prepared soon to hear that our affairs with Spain are approaching a crisis, though as we explain above, we fecl certain that nothing definite on the subject had been received in Washington up to 9 a. m., yesterday. Prepayment ef Postage on Letters to Cali- fornia.—It often happens that a letter intend- ed for California is mailed in the Atlantic States with a single three-cent stamp placed thereupon. ‘ The Post Office Department has decided that, inasmuch as this prepayment does not satisfy a single full rate of postage, it can only be regarded as a deduction of three cents from the original unpaid rate, leaving seven cents to be collected at the office of delivery. When three cents have been paid on a dou- ble letter sent from one office in the Atlantic States to another, the amount remaining due at the office of delivery is but fve cents, for in this case the sum prepaid is sufficient to satisfy one of the two rates with which such double letter is chargeable. Commodore Perry and the Vessels of the East India Squadron.—We learn that the Navy Department anticipate the arrival of Commodore Perry in the United States in the course of January next, and that they have advices from the East saying that the steam- ships Misssissippi and Susquehannah, the eloop Plymouth, and the storeships Supply, Southampton and Lexington, all of that squad- Ton, are now on their way home; leaving on the station the steamer Powhatan and the sloops-of-war Macedonian and Vandalia. Cap- tain Joel Abbot will be the senior officer left there. Recruiting for the Army.—We understand that five hundred recruits for the United States Army, were obtained during the month of October just passed—the offers of 1,288 be- ing rejected from various causes. Thie result shows the capital working of the new army pay law, the description of men enlisted un- der it being much more satisfactory than here- tofore. Clerical Appointments.—Mr. John Kearns has been appointed to a 2d class ($1,400 per annum) clerkship, in the office of the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury ; and Mr. Joseph D. Anderson, of Maine, to a lst class clerkship, ($1,200 per annum,) in the same office. Mr. William Stickney, of Mass., has been appointed to a Ist class ($1,200 per annum) clerkship in the Sixth Auditor’s office.

Burke, the popular comedian and author, died at the Florence Hotel, New York, on Friday night last. His His mother, an eminent vocalist and actress, died of the same disease, and it had been gradually killing Mr. Burke for ten years previous to hisdeath. Mr. Burke was brought up by Mr. Joseph Jeffer- son, the actor, artist, and manager, who was his step-father. He has ranked with Jeffer- son and Burton, as among the best comedians of this country. +++. James Gordon Bennett, the man who prints a paper in New York called the Herald, and who wanted the position of American Min- ister to France, returned home from Europe on Saturday last. Although a foreigner by birth and feeling, it is said he is willing to make his journal a Know Nothing organ, fhe finds it will pay. ++++ The Richmond Enquirer says : “A few weeks since, the Boston Transcript stated that letters from Burns in the Rich- mond jail, to his Boston friends, informed them that he was dangeronsly sick of typhoid fever. It may be some gratification to his Boston friends to learn that Anthony, their wooly-headed friend, has entirely recovered from his illness; and that he left here on Fri day, the 3d instant, in possession of David McDaniel, Esq., of Nash county, N. C., who purchased him for the purpose of putting him to work in @ cotton field, or where duty calls.” +++ The Cincinnati Gazette says that the excitement against P. B.

America StinL AneAD.—By the arrival of the Atlantic from Liverpool, on Sunday last, at New York, we had distributed yesterday morning the mail of this steamer, together with that of the St. Louis from Havre and Southampton, sailing seven duys previous to the Atlantic, and also the mails of the Amer- ica, which latter vessel preceded the America Sour days. How tas Arctic was Buitt.—The other day, in copying from an exchango paper, we stated that the Arctic was planked with pine, since which we have seen the card of Cato, Miller & Co., ship builders, of Liverpool, who lately repaired the Arotic, stating— “Her planking was of oak and pitch pine. We may remark that pitch pine, red pine, and Baltic are the woods generally used in large steamers, the former being the best of the three, and equal to any foreign oak; and we believe that these woods are now being extensively used in Her Majesty’s deck yards for planking. We would further observe that the Arctic was as strong and substantially built a ship as could be produced in this or any other country. THE Frepeeickspure, Va., AGRICULTURAL Faiz.—We are pleased to learn from Freder- ioksburg that the fair is progressing finely. On Wednesday evening last the Agrioultural Sooiety proceeded to the elevtion of officers. Col. Taylor was re-elected President by accla- mation and all the former officers, with the addition of Vice Presidents from Louisa, Cul- pepper, Fauquier, Madison, Rappahannock and Fredericksburg. It is likely the next annual fair will be held at Tappahannook. Tus Virginia ANNUAL CONFERENOE OF TRE M. P. Cuurcu.—The annual conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, which was in session at Norfolk, adjourned last week. The new church of the Methodist Protestant de- somination was dedicated to divine worship. The dedicatory sermon, which was one of pe- culiar eloquence and beauty, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Whitfield, from the words ‘Never man spake like this,’’ to be foundin John, 7th chap. and 46th verse. This denomina- tion is @eapidly on the increase in Norfolk. The Virginia conference of the Methodist Episcepal Charch South, will meet in Norfolk on the 29th peinet) -Reguicious ToLeration.—The noblest act ever put on a statute book in the world is this, drawn up by Roger Williams : “All men may walk as their consciences persuade them, every one in the name of his God. And let the lambs of the Most High walk in this colony wishout molestation, in the name of Jehovah, their God, forever and ever.” > The complaint in Boston in regard{to an oily and fishy taste to the Cochituate wa- ter, has become general throughout the city. Many families have resorted to boiling the water, and allowing it to cool before drinking. The process removes the disagreeable taste. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Guorexrown, Nov. 14, 1854.
