J, Donelson to a short notice, whereia it is declared that his grievanco against the »dministration is on account of diss ppciatment concerning office. The Intecigencer republishes, from the Charleston Mercr-ry, a posthumors letter from Bir. Caihoun to Porey Walker, Eeq., of Mo- bile, bcaring date October 23, 1847, wherein that great and clearsighted man urges the im- poriasce cf making the final iesue with the North on the slavery question without delay; go that whén it came—ae it must, soSner or Ister—it could be made without a dissolution of the Union, which he was anxious to avoid. ‘Thero is wisdom, as well as true patriotism ia his advice and clear reasoning, and it is to be sineerely regretted that up to ihis time the South has acted in accordance with his views fu this matter.

The Model Southern Journal —Our talent- ed, modest, courteous, enthusiastic, entortain- ing, chivalric, sorupulous, truthfal, and know- ing neighbor, indignates the Star at a terri- ble rate for calling public attention to the fact that it ie, just now, rapidly giving evidence of the true value of its late protestrtion# of de- votion to the rights of the slaveholding States as involved in the slavery questions now in issue. We wanted no prophet to essure us that whenever it might ecem likely to pay better to come out in its true anti-slaveholding State colors, our honest neighbor, established as @ money-making speculation, partly on the funds of notorious Abolitionists among u:, and aleo partly on the funds of others, who do not hesitate to avow their disapproval of, and opposition to the institution of slavery, and conducted by a Vermont Tylerite, would sure- ly be found doing battle in defence of the anti- slavery viows of the Northern wing of Know Notbingism, which bas no available strength except whenit hoiststhe black flag of abolition. ism. It distreeses us e’en a’ most to death to find our amieblo neighbor receive our physic with such wry faces aa in its issus of yesterday, wherein it loses its temper amid @ hailstorm of epithets bestowed upon us, such as is its wont to bestow on those who have been hon- ored wih their country’sconfidence. But our gentle neighbor's ire and choice language, when bestowed on us, affects us about as much ag that of the New York Izra/d—a journal, in point of integrity of character and standing in the estimation of those whose respect is worth having, about on s par with our ingeauous and good tempered neighbor iteelf. The Herald, however, has the merit of admitting that it is conducted without the least regard to the principle of moral honesty, and therein it teaches cur ingenuous netighbo: a lesson by which it migat profit. If eur neighbor had not felt the force of tie Heraid’s graphio bird's eye ketch of its own character as a journal, and had not realised shat public opinion endorsed the truth of thai sketeh with almost unexampled uparimity; and if cur talented neighbor bad not felt the feres of our comparison of its late ultra pro, slavery profeasions, with its more recent un- biushiog efforts to streogihen the abolition wing cf Know Nothiogiem at the South, its equanimity would not have been disturbed to the extent of raving agains: uz in terms bor- rowed from the tone of the letter of some one its charming coterie threatening our life, pub- lished recently in the Star, instead of essay- ing to answer the points we made against it. But our neighbor is fast exposing its own character without our he!p; for its leader of yesterday, of two and a bali columns, was tittle more than a plea for the propriety of the views of Wilson, Hale, Colby, Colfax, &., |™ upon ihe slavery ques‘ion. The New York Zribune itself never pub- lished a more earnest appeal againet slavery in Kansas. Its reasons for eo doing are in a nut-shell, as follows: “Let it not be forgotton, that in the North and Northwest, the whole population—with scarcely an exception, are opposed to the re peal of the Missoufi Compromige—that cur FRIENDS (here are commited io its resturation that there will be no peace till that point shai: be adjusted—and that without its w/rtval re storauion—its restora ion ract:ce,if not by jaw—ovm enemies in that whole region, will trivaaph in the coming elections.” Tae Koow Nothing: of the South, wao are not immoadiatly interested in the rolu of the question—who shall be printer to the nex!

Our neighbor, now thet it hog turned cat-and out anti-slavery in its polities, can bardly hurt any one in this section by resorting to unmitigated black- guardizm to break the force of argument. Our Ingeauous Neighbor.—It will be 1e- ccliected that our ingenuous neighbor by way of eztating the impression that it hed some thing substantial to ery over when lamenting the recent removal of Mr. Wilson, avehoment and active Know Nothing politician, from a situation in the Navy Yard, quoted Mr. Hunt, the chief cnginzer of the Yard, in justification of its whining a that occation. Mr. Hant, who wag abseut at that time, hay. ing returned to this city, hag nddreszed to us the following letter: Wasaiseton, June 19, 1855. To the Editor of the Star: Sin: I was just on tho eve of departere on business in Reading, Pa, when my attention was called to the pubiication in the “ Daily Organ,” in relation to the dismissal of My, Wiison, late foreman of the machine shop, Navy Yard. Waeotof time thon prevented my noticing it as I would desire now, through the medium of your paper. Although foel much Teluctance in having my name uppour in any public controversy, yet as it has been freely ured in this ceze without my knowledge cr consent, I feel that Justice, uot only to myself but to the causo oi truth, claims 2 few re- marks. 3 . First. I never remorsiraied with the Seere- tary of the Nevy against tho removal of sir. Wiil20, as was riated in the Organ. : Secondly. Before Mr. Bright was appo'nted foreman, ths Loaorable Secretary sept for me and inguired whei. ha would answer in Wilzon’s place. I replied, I thought ho would— that he was & good meclenio, and thersfore recommended’bim =I knew nothing aboyt his creed —oitber religious or politieal—and notk- ing was said on toat sulj-ot about him. Thirdly. Ia conversation with Mr. Wilson, he informed me that his dimiesa! placed him im very erobarrassing circumstances; that he was pot abie to romain long idle; and that, in order to get employment: elsev here, he desired we to give bim a letter ce ing to his com petency, and to agsict him in procuring ployment in other shops. I gave him a cortifi- for that particular perposo, which wus orsed by Capt. Pauiding. Letters ef that charseisx aro supposed to be of no use exoapt to be presented t © persons to whorm they upply for employment, and which [ intended to be the case with the one I gave him. Mr. Wilson know, or eught to have known, that neither Ospt. Pewlding or myself bad any other jeeling cr motive in the cass thaa to as- ates Congresa, and to be} rist him to get employment; be knew, or ought to have known, that if wo bud even eua- ed the letter would bave been published given him; be also knew, or ought to have Enowm, that in publishing it ia the mauner ip whioh it was published the persons whose dames woreattached thereto would be placed, before mony ay in & wrong posl'fon, which they never intended. H. Hour. Our ingenuous neighbor yesterday moaned lagubriously over the more recent removal of three Know Nothing employees of the Gov- ernment, Messrs. Harbin, Gatton, and With- ers. As it happens that all throe of these per- sons are members of the secret organization, oath-bound to bring about the removal of every clork, messenger, and laborer in the Government employment wio fails to en- doree Know Nothingism, a sensible public will easily understand how much of its sym- pathy should be excited by our ingenuous aeighbor’s whining over these three cases of folks dosed with the medicine they scek to oram down the throats of othors. A Eussian Inquiry —Wo received the fol- lowing pertinent letter yesterday : Sir: It has heen asked by the British press why the Americans should sympathize more with Russia than with England? Allow a Kugsian to answer this question by asking a few others. Russia has always esteemed the courage and respected the American people She has never sneered at their grand traditionary pol- icy of the Monroe doctrine; but, on the con- trary, admits it as ‘the just and noble corela- tive of theirindependouce,” 1 ask is this tru of England? Rassia has never ridiculed and defamed the Americans becavze they hava accepted acqui- sitions which were suitable and advantageous to the grandeur of their nation. Bat what ean England szy offer pact in Texas, Oregon, and California? Kuesie has a largo territory on the Pacific coast, but she has uever made this an excuse tor thrusting her interference or opposition into the line of policy which the United States may think jast and proper to pursue on their owncontinent. Russia has never usurped a post or harbor on American soil with the view f obstructing or controtling their commercial prosperity. KRursia has never maligoed the motives and character of the Amoricans to in- jure their repute and loseen their moral weight among other nations Russia has never threatened to “give our Yankee friends « les son.” Has England been equally ‘friendly. or even courteously neutral in these matters? What reply do you receive from all the coun tries of America ia which England encounters tho United States? What value or construc- tion should Asegsteam statermen place upon tbe cocapation of the Ruatan Islands, the Mos- quito protectorate. the Africaniz ition of Cuba, the interruption of the States treaties with the Sandwich Islands, St. Domingo, and Ecuador? Yinaily, Russia has alwaya received in- genious Americans wih distinction, and re- warded them with liberality. She honors with enthusiasm the enligbtened industry and he resistles enterprise of American genius, while coms other nations affect to deri-le it as sordid in motive and seifish im result. If there is nothing ia this to incline the hearts of the Americans to their Russian friends, neither is there anything in it toexcite an ardent and exclusive eympathy for their common oppo. ent. A Russian, W.D. Waunacn, Esq. Another Cock and Bull Story —The Herald, of New York, on the day boforo yesterday, de a tailed with amusing particularity all the plo‘s| i of the President and Secretary of State to compass the betrayal and execution of Ramin Pinto and Estrampes, and the dizeovery, to dis soncert them, of all ihe plans of the Cuban Janta The resuit has proved that the Ad- siinistration did discharge its whole duty with teierence to the efforts of the Junta to violate tho nectrality laws of the United States, and have the warm thanks of all who are in favor of the due execution cf cur laws. As for the Herald's roorback concorning ths trip of an American Government agent to Cube, after worming himself into tho confidence of the Janta forthe betrayal of its friends on the island, it is neither more nor Icss than a bald falsehood, manufactured not with the expecia= tion that any one posgessel of an ounce of brains will believe it, but meroly by way of having somotiing in the shape of a wonder in the paper of the day, the news happening, just then, to be very scarce, indeed. Mileage of Army Cfficsrs when Transport- ing Spzcio—A Paymaster hired a conveyance at the expense of the United States for the transportation of public funds, but did not avail himeelf of it for his own transportation, for which he claimed tue usaal allowance It was held that any officer in charge of pub- lie money, whe hires a carriage or other suit. ablo couveyanos for the traneportation cf the money and while ko can use it fyr his own transportation, hag no claim on the United States for such iransporiation if he choses to travel by some other mode.
