O., are fully authorized to r. ceive subscriptions to the Daily an.' 7 Weekly Stuer, in the States of North anc | South Carolina. —- — ‘SPTKIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer contains extracts from various journals, designed to show that theides of making a war with Spain for the chance of getting Cuba is unpopular inthe Woited Staise This work 12 needless, insumuch as the man must be half dementei who continues to be- Neve that any such potion has ever been en- tertained by our Government. We find inthe same paper a long @f,1 interesting communi- cation from J, ®. Moore, who has just returned from 4 two years residence in Mexico, wherein the sta’ c of public affairs there is explained, to shows that Santa Anna’s Government is ms- ligned, and the revolutionists blown into un- due importance by those who are writing bogus accounts for Americans concerning their Prospects The Union moralizes over the fact that the London Times shoulders the cause of Know Nothingism in this country. We also find in the Union so much of the resolutions recently adop‘ed in Tamany hall, as discountenance fillibusterism and deolare the adhesion of the New York politicians to the great American Policy of the acquisition of Cuba by purchase, whenever it can be soobtained, and also those of them which are aimed against Know Noth- ingism. We trust that the Union's readers wiil carefully study and digest the anti fillibuster- ing resoluiion in question, as it is sound, safe, and really patriotic Asa whole, this series of resolutioas--the platform from St. Tamany for the circumstances of 1855—are the ablest, Wisest and most prudent fulminations that have emanated from the old wigwam’s coal hole for some time past Ee We ecknowledge ihe receipt from the author, the Rey. Septimus Tustin, of a neatly printed and handsomely bound volame—small enough for the pocket—entitled “The dorbt ing Communicant Comforted” The present edition is nearly exhausted, a fact, which, ix itself, shows that the work is properly appre- ciated. The language, as expressed by aco temporary, is graceful and graphic, tender and sympathetic in spirit, and worthy of the aim to which it is devoted. They who are in‘i- mately acquainted with Mr. Tustin, will not doubt his capacity for thus administering oom- fort to the doubting communicant. The work is forsale at the various book- stores in thia city.

ProGRESsS oP SPIRITUALISM IN New Eng- LaNpD.—A Boston correspondent says: The number of ‘ spiritualists,’ so call are in- creasing to such an extent in this quarter, that several leading pastors of the city feel called upon to denounce the affair from the pulpit as a dangerous delusion. Reference yea nda) “one ef th = rapeha df opie 7 ie ors - itualism as modern re sree b» and in some of the boring towns, this new sect. if it may be called one, hold meet- ings, and are exhorted by men or women every Sabbath WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP, Mr. Commercial Agent Fabens.—The let- ; ‘er of this gentleman appearing in yesterday's New York Herald appears to meet with little vor in Washington out of fillibuatering cir- tes, and it seems to be judged, by those well- ‘nformed in pub‘ic affairs that his virtual as- sumption of authority to manage the relations j of this government with Nicaraugua will hard- ly prove agreable to the President and the head of theState Department. The letter in question is as follows: Sr. Nrcwonas Hore., New York, ap 23, 1855 ' James Gordon Bennett, sgt It appeas by an article in the Herald of yesterday, that Mr. J. de Marooleta, who lives at the house of the Spanish Consul in this city, and signs himself “Minizter from Nica- ragaa,”’ persists in discharging his pop gun at what he terms the ‘Kinney Nicaragua expe- dition.” The objects pro) to be attained by the aesociation of which Col. Kinney and iayself are —— the members, have already been made public through the Kinney and Corwine Soh memarringy ablished in the Herald of Thursday, the 19th inst. Their ob- jects, we feel warranted in believing, will not only commend themselves te Americans of en- terprise, but to every citisenof Nicaragua who has the future quiet and well-being of his a. atheart The allusion, inJ. de Marco- leta’s letter, to “public order,” in connection with the present political condition of Nicara- gua, is either a touch of humor, hardly to have been looked for from so very respectable a fource, or must be received as evidence that that gentleman has had no authentic informa- tion during the past year from the State of which he styles himself a Minister. ‘To agsist the well disposed portion of the inhabitants of that heaven-favored, but un- fortunate region, to reclaim and bring under cultivation waste lands, increase the facilities ef internal communication, establish com- merce and introduce the arts of civilization thus peacefally and lawfully developing the rataral resources of a land now fast relapsing into a Condition of savage wildness—in fine, to set an example of conduct and obedi ence in all things to the laws of the republic— these purposes, we believe, and are assured, from reliable sources will make us welcome in the homes to which we have been cordially invited No further notice will be taken of J. de Marcoleta’s newspaper communications; but should any person be curious to know how that gentleman is regarded in ‘he “ offisial capacity” of which he speaks, both in Nica. ragua and at Washington, I shali be willing to turnish sach informa'ion as I have upon tao subject. 1am, sir, respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, Joszpa W. FaBens. This second ‘Kinney expedition’’ is evi- deutly but a different phase of its predecessor, Proposing as it does to import into Nicaregua armed nominal colonists from ourcities against her censent, as declared by her accredited rep- resentative to this Government. Mr. Fabens is, we presume, the first gentieman in his offig cial position who has ever bold!y assumed the right to manage his country’s relations to a forcign Minister. It would exceedingly gratify the curiosity of the aborigines here, if Mr Fabens would make public his authority to furnish information as to how Mr. Marcoleta is regarded in his official capacity at Wash. ington, which he offers to do. Commodore Vanderbilt.—Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New York, is too much of a wan, we take it for granted, to be pleased with the Barnumization to which he has been sub- jected in fixing upon him the subriqnet of Commodore, to which he has no sounder real claim than Tom Thumb has to that of “ @en- eral,” by which he is now (through Barnum’s he!p) so widely known. A title so bestowed takes away from, rather than adds to, the dig nity and standing of such a man as Cornelius Vanderbilt, and, it strikes us, should be re- pelled by him with indignation, as persons of gocd sense and contemp‘ for humbug are prone to classit side by with the “General” that slways precedes the name of Tom Thumb on the show bills. California Potatoes —About one year ago the agricultural branch of the Patent Office received specimens of California Irish pota- toes, some of them weighing 6} pounds each They were carefully cultivated by Dr. Page of this city, and strange as it may seem, the tubers they produced were not larger than Pigeons’ eggs. These tubers have been sent to the Governor of the United States Military Asylum in this District for further experiment. A fact with reference to the Irish potatoes is not generally known and understeod—that is, that when brought from distant parts of the globe and oultivated in 2 soil and climate not like those from which it is brought, the pro- duct is greatly diminished in sise. But when cultivated the second and third year it will inerease in size and often improve in quality Land Titles in our Country, which were Derived from the Authorities of Great Bri- taiv, France and Spain —By the act ef the 17th of June, 1844, Congress revived and ex- tended the law of 26th May, 1824, authorizing the adjustment b y the Cuurte of land titles in Louisiana. Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama; and a large number of titles, some of them of immense extent, have been acted upon under these laws Enquiries ars often made az to the effect of a decree of con- firmation on these foreign titles where there had been prior sales, donations or grants We therefore append, for the information of all concerned, the 11th section of the said act of 1824: “ That if in any case it should so happen that the lands, tenements, or hereditaments, decreed to any elaimant, under the provisions of this act shall have been sold by the United States, or otherwise disposed of, or if the same shall not have been heretofore located, in each and every sueh case it shall and may be law. ful for the party interested to enter, after the same shall have been offered at public zale, the like quantity of Jand in parcels, conformable to sectional divisions, in any land office in the Scate of Missouri, [extended to the States above-mentioned by the act of 1844 ;} and if it should so happen that in making such entries there should remain in the hands of the en- terer a fractional excess of acres, of less num- ber than the smallest sectional divisions au- thorized by law to be sold, it shall and may be lawful for the party interested to enter, in virtue of such fractional excess, the quantity of one-half quarter section upon pa: one dollar and twenty-five cents for each acre con- tained in such half section over and above the fractional excess to which he may be en- titled by such confirmation.” The Proposed New Custom House in Alex- andria, Va.—The commissioners appointed to receive proposals for the sale of a site for the new Custom House and Post Office, to be built in Alexandria, Va., have made their report. Fourteen locations were offered, as follows: No. 1—on the northwest corner of King and Columbus street. “No. 2—on the southwest corner of King and Columbus street... No. 3— on the southeast corner of Prince and St. Asaph streeta. No. 4—on northeast corner of Prince and St. Asaph streets. Nos. 5 and 6— two lots on southwest corner of King and Pitt streets. No. 7—on Duke, between Pitt and Royal streets. No 8—on northwest corner of Wolfe and Royal streets. No. 9—on the north: west corner of Prince and Royal ‘streets. No- 10—on southwest corner of Cameron and Royal streets Prince and Duke streets. No. 12—on south east corner of Prince and Royal streets. No. 13—on northeast corner of Fairfax and Duke streets. No. 14—on the southeast corner of Pairfgx and Queen streets. We presume that the selection will hardly be made for some months to come. The Brig Porpoise —Parties in this city have advices from the Vincennes, at Hong Kong, China, to the 15th of February. Lieut- enant John Rogers, now commanding the Behring Straits Surveying Expedition, writes that his ship, the Vincennes, parted from the Porpoise on the 2ist of September last in a gale of wind between Fermosa and China, just to the northward and westward of the Tescadores, since which time she has not been heard of There isa possibility, he thinks, that the Porpoise may have put on to some distant and isolated Island for repairs. The carpenter of the Vincennes who repaired the Porpoise out there, states that she was strong and staunch. Her long career in the navy proved her to be a good sea boat. Her officers were more than ordinarily skillfal in their profession. The Sound Dues —The following translation made for us by a friend from a Berlin journal (of the 25th ult.,) received by the last steamer substantiates our declaration made sometime since, that “Observer,” of the Intelligencer, greatly misapprehends the facts involved in the Sound Dues question in fancying that Prussia is with Denmark rather than with the United States, upon it: “The demands for the abolition of the Sound Tues are daily renewed by the commercial world and in the Chambers; but “ the tide in the affairs of Prussia” and its interests is yet too adverse to admit of their fulfilment. The Sound Dues continue in spite of all our peti- tions in order to keep Denmark in astate of solvency with its foreign ereditors and to keep down Prussian navigation in the Baltic. In the year 1853, 3,463 Prussian vesseis had to pay 126,252 Prussian dollars for ship dues, to which sum 173,150 dollars are to be added for tho loss of time sustaimed by clearance. Of the whole smount, however, only 22 042 Thaler or Prussian dollars got inte the Danish trea sary, so that Prussian ship-owners had to con- tribute almost fourteen fold in order to make up the entire amount. When the commission of the Second Chamber debated the proposi- tion of the Deputy vs. Langer, the organ of the Government declared that Prussia bad never acknowleged a so called sovereign right of Denmark to the Sound toll, nor given ut- terance of any such declaration in the treaties of 1816 and 1846; but that then, as at present, there was no prospect for the abolition of the said dues—the less so as according to the view of the Government the Sound dues in question had been made use of by France in two direc- tions, vis: Towards Prussia as towards Den- mark as a political means of effecting the ac- cossion to the alliance of the Maritime powers. To Denmark is promised the guaranty of the continuation of the Sound dues, and for that ahe (Denmark) is required to give up her neutrality.”” The U. 8.

Mr. Thomas Mitchell, of Connecticut, to a firat class ($1,200) clerk- ship in the Pension Bureau. The Hon Y. Mason —The last steamer’s aivices from Mr. Mason represent him as be- ing still very feeble, so far as his bodily strength is concerned. He has gone to Nice, in the hope of recruiting his health. He and his frieuds around him, however, believe that ho is slowly resovering from the effect of his paralysis. ” The Commissioner of Patents.—The current story of the resignation is untrue No such intimation has been received by any member of the government here; nor is such a course on his part anticipated. Commodore McCauley —Nows has been re- ccived in this city of the arrival of Commodore McCauley’s ship at Havana. Nothing further has yet been heard from her.

These suecceded so well that he constructed the necessary ap; tus, which was put up in December last, been in daily operation ever since. As soon as the needful number of apparatus are constructed, they are to be introduced at every telegraph station in the Kingdom; and, as the alteration is not expensive, the advantages gained over the old system are obvious, as one line of wire will do the work formerly done by two. Gap To Ses THEIR BANDS.—When the Golden Age came in, yesterday, considerable amusement was created by a nice-looking lit- tle lady, who, when the boat arrived, was dancing, clapping her hands, and jumping as ifshe would jamp out of her stoekings, ex- claiming, “there’s my husband, there’s my husband,” and kissing her iand to a gentie- man on the Adaras i cre Fienoak ten near enough, the happy follow jum on board, and there was some hugging for a few moments, to the great delight and amusement of the crowd, who by their shouts appeared to sympathize most heartily with the married lovers.
