The Jatelligencer reviews the New York Sun's last revelations concerning the mishaps of the Cuban Junta; and, it strikes us, does not deal fairly by the Adminisiration in fail- ing to correct the Sun’s micapprehensions concerning the conduct of the powers in esse with reference to the Junta. Tho Sum accuses the Administration of having et one time evinced sympathy with fillibusterism. This the Iniellzgencer cannot fail to know to ba untruc, for it bas repeatedly intimated in Warm terms its approbation of the conduct of the Adwioistration in this conneciion. On this subject, it says: an next proceeds to show how the fered themselves to be deluded b: ded ageats into a belief that the Ad- ministration was friendly to their illegal and even that a prominent member ‘would bimself lead an nd, Gen Qzitman being second in eommand. Ner wore toese assurances (coatinues the Sun) given Without some show of authority, sufficient at east to win the confidenco of the Cubans. ‘The person who negotiated, or rather ia/ied about these matters—for from their nature it was not deemod prudent to reduce them to writing—was introduced to the unfortunate Pinto and other Cubans by one who, az a rep- resentative of the Administration et Wash- ington, was entitled to ue a broad seal of the Uniled States.

Early Closing.—Those sincerely interested in the well being of ourcity, aro exocedingly gratified with the steps taken by its leading merchants ia many different branches of busi- ness, to afford their employees an opportunity for relaxation every evening, such as has not heretofore been accorded td young persons so engaged in Washington, and, indeed, in few other American cities. He who works from san to sun for another, labora ut least suffi- ciently long to requite the meagre compensa- tion whivh clerks, boys, and porters in retail stores necessarily receive; and to exact longer labor from them daily, is to instill stupidity in them, if not to prevent the proper development of their physical faculties. There is, there- fore, benevolence a3 weil as sound philosophy in the wise change in this respect that has re- cently been initiated here, which can hardly fail to result beneficially for the employer; a3 with few excoptions those who trade after dark do not profit the dealer enough to pay the night's gas bill, while gain of brightness of in- tellect and energy of character, to the em- Ployee, through the relaxation thus accorded, will, in the long ran, add sensibly to the year’s aggregate of profitsof theemployer. We trust that all in commercial businessin Washington will follow the good example in this respsct, which has beon already set, as above ex. plained. The Model Southern Journal —Our enthu- siastic and talented neighbor, whilom almost & very fire-eater, now coolly asks the South to join Wilson, Colby, Hale & Co. in electing some Kaow Nothing to the Presidency in 1856. Our neighbor evidesily rogards the splitin the Philadelphia Convention a mere ma‘ter of moonshine, there boing no radical difference in the politics of its members, which should prevent them from uniting on some maw, after their own heart, for the Presidency Sach is a fsir, practical translation of a por tion of our gentle neighbor’s leader of the day before yesterday. Much of the rest of it being an apology to Wilson & Co. for the conduct of the Southern delegates ia refusing to go in for a repeal of the fugitive slave law and fora re- storation of the Missouri compromise line. Otr neigabor positively cannot sco any aub- stential difference between the South and those represen‘ed by the gecoding delegates which Siould prevent them from remaining one acd inseparable, as heretofore. But for the fact that our neighbor looks at the ques- tions in issue between the North and the South through a Vermonter’s eyes, behind a pair of green spectacles, we should offer him ours by way of aiding him to comprehend that bis Proposition in the Convention, denouncing the enactment of the Nebraska bill, will hardly go down with any considerable portion of the people of the South. Lut the game would hardly be worth the candle, evi- dently, 23 our meighbor haz got into its head the idea that it only bas to pronounce the cause of the South, as involved in the Kansas question, not worth contonding for, to satisfy the unanimous Scuth of that fact. Our ingenuous neizhbor’s sudden change cf front on the pending slavery question, now that Wileon & Co. have pronounced in their Phila- delpbia convention against Southern rights Will doubtless be duiy approciate: at the South, from whence it will very short!y hear thundering responses from Know Nothing journals tat do not happen to be particularly interested in tho votes, on the printing ques tion, of the Northern Know Nothing mevibers of the next United States House cf Reprezen- tatives, who are afmost to a man Free Svilers. Positively, our neighbor can sce no good rea- son why they and the South should not har- monize in polities! The Know Nothicg Meoting To-Morrow Night.—We hare again to ask the public’s aiteation to the manner in which the anti- Know Nothings of Washington will conduct themselves towards their opponents, us con- trasted with the condact of the Know Noth- ings at the two meetings at Carusi’s Saloon inst year, and at the meeting that tock place in front of Brown’s Hotel shortly afier the Virginia election. The affair which is to af ford the opportunity for instituting this eom- parison is to come off to-morrow evening xt the City Hall, when and where those who were so shocked with tho alleged attempted inierfererce of Mr. Wis in the politics cf Washington, are to be addressed, per invita- tion, by sundry Kuow Nothing orators foreign toourcity. It is amazing how the opinions of men as to the fitueasof things change to suit the circumstances of different cases. Our talealed and ingenucus neighbor, if we re- member correvtly, conovived the fact that Mr. Wise was not a cilizen of Washington, ample justification for the outrage upon commoa do- cency, tho reputation of our cily, and the right to frea discussion involved in the con- duct of its coterie before Brown’s Liotel. Will it indignantly denounce the interference of the expected stranger Know Nothing ora. tors in the politics of Washington ? Give the Publis the List—As the Phila- delphia Know Nothing Convention, appsront ly touched with shame at the glaring falsehood at the bottom of the obligation of their ‘“cr- der’ on its members, to tell an untrath con- cerning their connection with it, have formal- ly decreed that the veil of secrssy heretofore surrounding membership of their organiza tion shall no longer rest en it, we trust cur talented and gentle neighbor will at once give the anxiously expecting world the lists of the members of the Know Nothing lodges in this city, thus saving us the trouble of sodoing. We hava managed to procure lists of those identified with the or- derintwoof the creyon Warda of Washington. That is, in addition to tho list of the Fourth Ward, published long siace in handbill form. The publication we ask should, however, come properly from our enthusiastic neighbor, who is so tickled with the action of the Philadel- phia Convention in raising the veil of secresy. Misreprosentations.—TIBe leading trait cf Know Nothingism—falsehood—was never more forcibly illustrated than in the whining of its pressea over the removal of their active; avow- ed, and efficient partizans, and others who Ia- bor in their behalf in secret, while professing not to be identified with them. The Philadel- phia North American, of yesterday, contained acolumn of misrepresentation concerning the removal of Mr. Wilson from a master me- chanie’s place in the Washington Navy Yard, and of Me. Carter from the door-keeparship of the Treasury building. Tho editor conocals frem the knowledge of his rezders that these persone were, and are, strong advocates for the polioy of Know Nothingiem, under which it is proposed to remove from the Government’s employment every ciezk, messenger, laborer, and mechanic, who fails to be & member of “the Order”? with which they are affiliated; whioh fact entirely changes their respective cases @$ represented by our talented and in- genuous neighbor. Tho cases of Messrs. Polk and AtLee illustrate most forcibly the want of honesty of purpose on the part of those who are endeavoring to make political capital out of the action of the Government here, in physicking open ani secret advocates of the policy of removing everybody opposed to Know Nothingiem from Government employment, with their own medivino. Mr, Atlee, in whose behalf it was up tosome days after his removal protested that he had no lot or part with Know Nothingism, now ehows himself in bis true colors as one of the Washington leaders of that party, and thus disproves all that wes said to the contrary not long since with to studied counterfeit of sincerity. Mr. Polk, too, who appealed to the public on theground that he was a most unoffending man politically, and in all respects a reliable friend of the Administra- tion, already shows himself to be a most un- relenting persecutor of those who do net be- liove in the christianity and patriotism of Kaow Nothingiem, and are net supporters of its purpose of proscribing every body who fails to become identified with it. So long as the Know Nothings do as they have done here on obtaining power—proseribe every man, down even to the soayengers—who fails to be of their party, and so long as their journals adyooate and justify such wholesale proscription, asensible public will appreciate a:theirtrue value their whinings whenever tieir theory ofright and wrong ia such mate ters happens to be applied to one or more of their own partizins \ Tho next Howse.—According to a caleala- tion in the New York Jowrnal of Commerce it will require s change of but eighteen mem- bers elested to the noxt House of Representa- tives by Know Nothing assistance, to sccure an administration majority. It strikes us that there need be no fear that more than that number will not be found sustaining every measure of the admizistration of im- portance, some of them having been members of the Whig party previous to being elected. We think we already know quite that num- ber, and believe that while they may rote with the mass of the Know Nothings to em- barrass the administration on unimportant questions, they will not fail to bs found at it: back whenever their votes are necessary to socure the triumph of any policy which the administration has at heart. Know Nothing- ism has in many cases been but the counter- feit preeentment behind which ambitious poli- ticians have sought to gain seats in Congress, wherein thoy will conduct themeelvos so as, if possidle, to live as public men long aiter Know Nothingism shall be dead, as well as rotten. Appointment.—We understand that the Secretary of the Navy haz appointed Nathaniel! Tatem, Esq , inspector of timber in the navy yard at Norfolk, Va., vice Jawes Jarvis, re moved some time since Dir. Jarvis had been long in the Government's omployment, in this position, for which he was capitally qualified; but he clected to become oath-bound to do his best to procure the proseription of every axti- Know Nothing in the public service, and finds, not tnexpectedly to sensible people, that thore who play at that game do not always win. The Naval Reform Board, whose appoint- inent we announced to the public some weeks since, met to-day, and probably organized.

The damp weather of yesterday and this morning has compelled the Young Catholic Friend's Society to postpone their pleasant pie nic until Monday. On Wednesday morning a serious affair 00- curred in the house of a family named Doyle, dwelling at the lower end of Water streot. One of See zouibs of the family, in a quarrol with his elder brother seized a large knife, and attempted to stab him, but by accident the knife came in contact with the face of his infant gister, outting her cheek from ear to mouth. Dr. O’Donnohue was called in. Gressed the wound, and the little sufferer is now doing well. Tho lad bas not yet been arrested, The Rechabites of Virginia Tent offer a fine trip for the citizens of the District next Mon- day. A fino boat. fine band, four hours at Piney Point—danciug, fishing, and bathing— all for a very moderate price. The United Brotbers also promise a fine pic-nie at Arlington in a few weeks There is little stirring ef interest. Our city is very healthy, and it needs but the due care on tho part of our people to keep ee MI, The Canada Duel. . We learn from the meta Journal of the 18th, that officers Moore and Ross. two of Chief Matsell’s aids, were in thet city yesterday on their return home from Seblosser, where they arrestod Leavenworth. ‘The officers state that Leavenworth is desperately wounded, «o much so that they considered his removal decidedly impracticable, fearing that it would cause death Tail wes taken before they left. The weapon diacharged by Breckinridge at Leaven- worth must have had double the charge neces- saty, asthe ball pessed nearly through his body, entering at one side just below the hip, and passing through, was only prevented from coming out the opposite cide in consequence of striking against the hip bone, which it shat- teredin a very painfal manner. The bail cannot be extracted. Breckinridge and the seconds could not be found. The former is aS Sn to have gone to Kentucky. the Boffaio Commercial says: Leavenworth hes never been secreted a mo- ment. The duel was fought near the lower end of Navy Island, and the nearest point on the American chore ig Schlosser landing, the place where Sir Alien MoNab cut cut the ** Caroline.” The only building at this place, is now, asit was then, a one anda hslf story house, ocou pied by a Bir. Pierce, who acts as ea kind of custom-bouse officer. Into this house, Leaven- worth was immediatoly taken, as being the nearest to the landing, there being no other within balf a mile. Here he bas remained since, becauge it was unsafe to reove him, as well as becanse Mr. Pierce and family were exceeding kind and attentive, and thero was no urgent neces: for his removal. Hoe never has beon secreted Everybody at the Falls has known his whereabouts pe:fectiy. Mr. and Mrs. Leavon- worth and the brothers wore daily in the vil- lage, and Mrs L has for more than » week been a guest of Mrs Kiizabeth Porter’s, who has contributed in many ways to the comfort of Mrs. L. and her son The house oscupied by Mr. L. is within five rods cf the railroad, audis now, and was st the time mentioned, as wellknown about the the Falls as the Cataract Mouse, and nothing could be more absurd than to supposo that the officers had to ‘pipe’ for several days to find him. Assoon as it se pots Mr. L. will be re- moved froin the 1s to rooms in a houroe which have been engaged for him for more than a wesk Not one of the parties mentioned in the Times were at Schlosser at the time of the ar Tival of the officers, except Mr. L. and he is, therefore, the only one arrested, or lilely to bs. Wis brother and mother still remain with him, There is, at present, every probability that he will recover. Tus Caances or Lire.—In 1343, Guigzet, now President of the Permanent Commission of Fine Arts at Paris, had become so very poor that he was obliged, every day to beg & dinner of a friend. He was returning one evening to his atelier in company with his host. The porter presented a jotter, and de- manded threecou3. Cuignet refused ity, say- ing he would keop tha few aoua he bad to buy tobacco forthe morrow. His friend pressed hin to take the letter, but ke was obstinate Who could write saything pleasant to him? “Well,” said his friend, “I will buy your let. ter, and know your secret.’’ They went up togetber, zevyoral te3, of cours nd the sexl waz broken. ho letter contained but few words, but how important!

Not wocn Like Fawixa.—The receipts of breadstuils at the upper lake ports are tre- mondous, aad ia the fase of the immense re- ceipts of corn, and the export demard but nominal, with a limited distilling business, the present price of this description of grain can- not be maintained. 103.436 bushels were re- ceived at ports on the upper lakes in one day. At Baffalo and Oswego the receipts reported on Monday reached 7,524 bbls. of flour, 82.897 bushels of wheat, 150,027 bushels corn, and 193,275 bushels oats. EP Murders are said to have become very frequent ia Mississippi, and the clergymen are strenuously urging the more rigid enforce. ment of capital punishment. The frequency of murder there, however, is nothing new, for Governor Foote once remarked that for ever = days of hia om as Governor of the State there was a murder perpetrated, Soci seems to be in a disorderly siate, or aa prevalence of crime could not cecur.
