The Union defends the Administration against the censures of the Intelligencer on account of its summary measures to put a stop te British recruiting in the United States for the Crimes. The Intelligencer presenta its readers with a history of “ Mason and Dixon's Line,” now so often referred to i1 connection with current politics. It is the original boundary between the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania, first traced in 1761 and 1762, In 1663 they bar- gained with Chas. Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, “two mathematicians or surveyors’’ to come out from England and retrace the line. They lane. ed in Philadelphia in November of that year, and at once entered on the work. Their line did bet vary an inch from the one previously rup. “The lines whese history has thus been given were directed to bo marked in a partic- ular manner, both by the agreements of the parties and the decree of Lord Hardwicke; and the surveyors accordingly planted, at the end of every fifth mile, a stone graven with the arms of the Penns on one side and of the Baltimore family on tho other, marking the in- termediate miles with smalier stones having a P on one side an an M on the other. The stones with the arms were all sent from Eag- land. ‘his was done on the parallel of lati- tude as far as Sideling Hill; but here all wheel transportation ceasing in 1766, the further marking of the line was the vista of eight yards wide, with piles of stoneson the crests of all the mountain ranges, built some eight feet high, 2s the summit of the Alleghany, be- yond wrich the line was marked by posts, around which stones and earth were thrown the better to preserve them.”” A Trvty Woxperrci Ganven.—The value of a point in writing, and of the relative po- sition of words in a sentence, was never bet- ter illustrated than in the following sentence extracted not Jung -ines from the Intal/,- gencer. as follows “ Fifty strawberries were Picked last week from a garden in Bound Brook which filled a quart measure.” This is the firs: time we ever heard of a gar- den that only filled a quart measure. Taz Massacucsztts Know Notuine Stare Councu, Dave formally severed all connection with the majocity of the “ National American Council of Philade!phia.”’ Son-stroxe —Toward the close of the last week there were deaths by sun-etzoke in the cities of New Y¥ ork, Philadelphia, and Balti- more. PERSONAL. ~++.We have seen it stated in Know Nothing pers, that Samuel Cole, Baq_., the highly ef- cient and popularchief clerm of tae Pension offices, is a foreigner. Kven ifhe were, we are at a loss to conceive how this could bea crime; for certuinly, ia that ease, be oould not have reveated the‘ accident of birth!’’ We al ude tu this subject merely to say, in connex- don, that the weapous of falsehood are made use of to injare valuable public officers. So far, however, from Mr. Cole’s being “a for eigner,” be was born in Saratoga county, New York, and even his great grand parents were natives of American soil, and some of his relatives of distinguished Revolutionary fame. -+--Wm. Stapleton died in Memphis, Tenn., last week, from the effects of taking 8 quan- tity of the tincture of yellow jessamine, écld him ata botanic drug store in migiake for whiskey. -++-Edwin Forest, the tragedian, intending to make his native city—Philadelphia—his fu- ture permanent residence, has purchased the splendid brown stone manzion at the corner of Broad and Master streets, for thesum of $33,- 00. -++-The “oldeet inhabitant’ in Maryland is Bir. Kichard Crandell, who is nearly one hundred and eight years of age. «+++ The“ Black Swan” is singing in Hart. ford. The Boston Post says she sang in the Jast named city, and left printers minus to the tune of theic adverti-iag biils. «+».The Whigs of Maine have nominated the Hon.

Mayor of San Francis- oo, Cal; and Col. J. Hamilton and lady, of N. Y¥. are at Willard’s Hotel. Gen. Wal- fach, U.S. A. is at Brown’s, and Hon. K. MoAilistar is at the United States Hotel. Tug Deo s.yx Scicrpes.—The excitement in Erooklyn, relative to the double suicide, is abating. Several pious citizens, who made themselves quite conspicuons at tho funeral of the female yesterday, begia to fee) s little un- Pleasant, since it bas been discovered that she had been a public girl of the town for over five years. Lhe developments thus far show the whole effuir to be a disgusting one, and itis apprebended that the ladies of Brooklyn will, hereafter, ve a littke more careful how they attempt to manufacture martyrs out of fallen angeis. it bas been ascertained that Sarah Wil- liams, tho female, had deposited in the sav- ings bank of Broadway and Chambers street $2,350, all of which, at different times, gave to young Gustin On one occasion sent him a draft for $400, to meet @ business Nability. Lbe Tuesiay night previous to their death was passed by them in New Jersey. In a letter written by Gustin to her, dated June. 1553, he says: *-My brother Jo» seen me taking supper with you the other night, and he told the old man be saw we with two town girls, and me andthe old man hada muss. The old man told me to go out of the house and never come into it again; and I went. 1 am now a gen- tleman of pleasure,” There are ietters in the possazeion of the Coroner that will, it is said, tend to elucidate the matter. Taz Kisyey Exeepition.—In the United States District Court, New York, on Saturday morniny, the counsel for Mr. Fabens moved that he be discharged from arrest under the ebarge connecting bim with unlawful desi; upon the Government of Nicaragua. Distriet Attorney said that he had previously stated hig determination not to try Mr. Fabens without Col. Kiaoney, and, as the latter was won est, by dircetion of the Court the recog- wisance of Mr. Pabens was discharged, and also the wi: nesses. RemwatuasLe Seiy Contgoy.—The Brans- wick Telegraph tells & story, whleb, it gays, is literally true, of a young widow dows on the Kennebeo, who said to an acquaint- ence who wag oondoling with her upon the Teoent death of ber spouse, “I hope you'll ex- cuse my vet crying, but the fact is, crying al. ays makis my nose bleed © »| points are made to be seen as far ag possible WASHINGTON KEWS AKD GOSSIP, The Const Survey.—We have had on hand the followlpg communication fr some weeks; & pressure of “copy” having prevented us from Socn®”, spreading it before our readers, we do £9 now, because in our original article that called this forth, it might be inferred that our design was (as it was not) te reflect on the manner in which the predecessor of Professor Bache discharged the duties comsnitted to his charge: To the Editor of ths Evening Star: Sin—Your paper of the 18th inst. contains an article on the Coast Survey which deserves from me a little notice, not that those who know the work sre not aware of the almost overwhelming difficulties connected with its crestion, but that many,.who do not know it, will take for proved as correct, that which upon an investigation would be found to be anerror. The portions to which I shall con. fine myself are. first “« Before he [Professor Bache] was called to the head of this important branch of the pub- lic service, tho work is said to bave been pros- couted on a single base line, requiring the labor of nearly all engaged, on the coasts of one or two Statgs only for soras twelve years. Thus its progress was slow and unsatisfactory, evidently, to the navigation interest of the country. He (Professor B ) however, adopted the plan of having many bate lines, connect- ing and verifying them as required.” I quote from Report No. 43, House of Rep- resontatives, 27th Congress, 3d cesnion. Select committee on the CoastSnurvey. Committee— Hon. Messrs Mallory, Cushing, Wise, Aycrigg, and Holmes: Thursday, March 24, 1842 —Examination of F. R. Hassler continuerl: Question No. 4. Is there any objection to the publication of def.nite and successive parts of the work a3 they may be completed, as the map of New York pow in the engraver’s hand .? Answer No, not in the leset, so soon as the engraving is finished. Q 5. Is it necessary to complete the survey of Delaware bay before it ean be practicable to publish a chart of Long Island Sound ? A. No 65. You have said that the latitude and longitude of Cape Hatteras were erroneous in the charts. How did yon ascertain it? A. By having attempted, in 1828, to make a union of the northern and southern maps, which join at that place. ts Q. 76 What is the object of the second base ine ¢ A. The verification of the whole work, which is ia the system of such works. Q 77. If the object be to verify the survos, and suppose it does not agree, what is the oon- sequence? oan the error, if any, is to be investi- gat Q. 78. Itis stated in one of your reports that the rurvey extends over 11,000 equare miles; is that mapped ? A. Yes. to be sure. Q. 82. What distance from the ovast have they carried the sounding: ? A. Until they were out of sight of land I mean the points given them as guides; those We elevate signals 30 feet or more. Q 83. You bare sounded from Point Judith te Ezg Harbor along the coast; have the soundings been extended as far as yo@ intend ? A. They are complete for the de‘ailed mare, but they ave not been carried out so far ac I intend Q 584. How much further do you intend to carry the soundings ? A: Tothe Gulf stream. Q. 96. Do you regard the survey as a great scientific enterprise, embracing delicate prob- iems of Geodetic research, beyond what is ne- Gessary to an accurate survey of the coast fcr nautica! purpeses A. There is not a single movement in all I do which iz not necessary for the honorable and faithful execution of the work Q 161. Cannot the surveys of the bays and rivera be postponed without injury to the gen- eral work, till the survey of the coast proper is complo-ed” - A. It is impossible, because no accuracy could be got fo- the coast. “ Profeceor B , we hear, is obtaining charte— the resuits of the labors of his many asgist- an‘s and cubordinates—much faster thar they can be published, owing to the searcity of suitable engravers in the United States.” Q. 105. How many engravers do you em- loy. r é Two; L would haye more if { had the money. Q 103 Cannot American engravers put on copper all map engravings whieh can be pu: oD paper. No Q 120 Do you think that, under the most favorable circumstances, and with a continu ance of a yearly appropriation of $100,000, the survey of the coust can be completed in twenty yours A. Perkape tbe progress is alower at first, and the mez 19 increases as the work proceeds. Tt will appeaz from public documents that the whole amount of apprepriations during the cresting of the coast survcy from Augurt, 1832, to November, 1843, (the dais of wy father's ieath,) was, say $320,600, averaging for eleven years, say $75,000 per year—tho Present aniuual apprepriation applicable to purpese: forming a part of the Atiantic coast survey: Appropriation Do for 1853, aa; do. 1854.

A Great Ado About Nothing.—The readers of the Stur may rest assured that there is a great deal of humbuggery in the story of the Now York papere, saying that there has been almost a difficulty between Louis Napoleon’s Minister cf Foreign Afairs and Mr. John Y. Mazon, cur Minister at the French Court, upon the alleged determination of France not to re- spect the rights of ships of noutral Powers in the Baltic, acesording to the declarations ard stipulations laid down in the orders in council in this connection, promulged as the declared policy of Franco some months ago. In these orders France came very near to the doctrine on this subject so long urged by this Govern- ment ag the only proper reading of the law of nations upon the subject suited to our ed. vanced ago. We feel catisfied that up to this hour not a word ora line has been received by the Government bere from which the im- pression that France is disposed to fly from her pledge may be fairly drawn. The foreign ministers in this city all dis- credit the story, and they never fail to be wel! informed in euch matters. If our government hed reasived anything to justify a belief in the correctness of ino New York Merald’s stories on the subject, cur readers may poy he it, the mail thot brought the dispatohes to the State Depattment would alo bring full accounts of them to more than one foreign embassy in the federal motropolis. The whole mass fo the Herald amounta simply to a story got ap almost solely on the strength of Nesselrode’s late effort to make a diplomatic point against France by assuming to charge on her a deter- mination to violate hor engagements with neutral powers, and thus to create bad feel- ings towards her on the part of those govern. ments, — Hineveh.—We find our columns so crowded for room that we sball, for some time to come, content ourself in this connection with mere- ly presenting the Star's readers with the record of the dwellers in that ancient and venerated city, as they are vouchsafed to us by our never-to-be-forgotten familiar spirit, who is stilll laboring among the ruins of the Seventh Ward thereof.

Gur Prophecy Coming True.—Our talented, courteous, entertaining and knowing neigh- bor, already finds itself in hot water on ac count of its offer to surrender the interest of the South in Kansas, under the flimsy pretext that the grapes are sour, any how. The Rich- mond Post, the Virginia central Know No- thing organ, very broadly intimates that its party in the South are not willing to be sold with their eyes open, to Wilson, Colby, Hale, Colfax & Co., for the favor of the Northern Knew Nothing members of the House, for the organ, who, to a man, are opposed to the le- galisation of slavery in Kansas. The Post takes the view of the present position cf our gentle neighbor on the Kensas question, taken by the Scar immediately after that in- genuous, enthusiastc and entertaining sheet turned a short corner to keep the party at the South “ National;” or, in other words, in line with the Northern wing of the organisation, which has with unprecedented unanimity re- pudiated and spat upon the platform, wherein that ventured to equint favorably towards the idea that Kansas should be admitted into the Union with a elave-holding Constitution, if applying under one, and that it is neither wise, prudent nor patriotic to labor to re-es- tablish the Missouri restriction with reference to Kansas and Nebraska. We prezume that by this time the “ Association,” who hope to clatch the printing of the next House by bending, in the name of the South, to the wishes of Wilson, Colby, Hale, Colfax & Co., with reference to Kansas, have had their eyes opened to the fact that the Southern Know No- things intend thatif it clutches the co desi- rable prise, they shall not be sold, body and breeches, to that end. Appointed.—Robert T. Hamilton, cf Ken- tucky, hae been appointed a frat class (31,200 pér annum) clerk in the Pension Office; and E L. Corbin, of New York, toa first class tom- porary clerkship in the General Land Office. Our I itutions.—A friend, who was in Baltimore on Wednesday night last, described an occurrence at Barnum’s which goes so far towards illustrating the trae character of our institutions that we cannot help repeating it here. It will be recollected that the Presi- dent left this city on that afternoon with his wife, who is an invalid, for Cape May. Rest- ing in Baltimore that night, and having ar- rived there without previous announcement, and unattended, he was seen around the hotel, conducting himeelf in all respects as quistly and unobtrusively as though he were come western merchant, fust arrived per railroad. Our friend, who had falien into scnversation with a traveling foreign gontleman, recently arrived ia the United States, incidentally took occasion to point out the unassuming fellow- traveler, who was asking at the office for ¢ sheet of writing peper, as the Prosident of the Unjied States. The forsigner stared and turned pale with astonishment, and after oon- templating the President so engaged, and quietly tarine pis turn to be attended to, among half a dosen guc:'# of the house who were standing near him—exclaimed : ‘‘Mine Got! mine Got! I see it all—I see it all;” meaning, evidently, that the sight before his eyes had enlightened him, instantly as it were, upon the philosophy of the institutions of the United States. Tho Platforms.—Really the K now Nothings are astonishing platform buildors’ They made one in National Council in Philadelphia recently, a pig or puppy platform, whereonit wag arranged that those standing might turn charming faces either to the North or South “The party” in the two sections seem, however, to agree only torepudiateit. In Georgiathey have just erected a second one, based wholly on hostility to the north; while in the council in Massachusetts they made a third Know Nothing platform based wholly on the aboli- tion views of Senator Wilson; or, in other words, on hostility to the South. A pretly “National party,’’ truly! A pretty party, this, to harmonize the conflicting views of the twe sections of the Union on the slavery question—thus turning in, as they are doing in all directions, to obtain power merely by pan- dering to local predjudices and interests The impostare of its nationality is already exposed through its own acts. The Insane Asylum.—Dr. Bohrer was (o- day elected President of the Board of Mana- gere of this institution, and a committee (of Managers) waa sppointed to draw up by laws for its government. Shghtly in Error.—Our talented, amiable, and ingenious neighbor is firmly of opinion that in the recent olsctions in New Orleans aod Norfolk, Know Nothingism wap not the real issue, though in both ities its formally nominated candidates were in the field. It turns out, however, that Mr. Elgee, the anti- Know Nothing candidate so triumpkaatly chosen in Now Orleang, is an Irishman, waile Mr. Woodiz, the newly elected anti-Know Nothing Mayor of Worfoik, is a member of Catholic family. If Know Nothingism is not the issue with such candidates runuing against ite nominees, ye would like to know whether it will ever boin issue again. It was not in issue either, we presume, in the recent eleo- tions in San Francisco, Illinois, Michigan, ‘Buffalo, and Connecticut. The “ dodge,” art- fal as it is, is by far too transparent. The Current Operations of the Treasury t.—On Saturday, the 30th of June, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the Treasury Department.... $15,072 16 For the Customs....sse.ecesseere 26,426 03 War warrants received and en- tered .esescseseecccessesessees 113,516 89 Interior repay warrants received entered. 26,263 63 Di o ‘Treasury from miacelluneous sources.... 2,461 32 Covered into the Troasury from Customs seeecessevereerseveses 131,698 69 For covering _—_—-—q7"<—e——_ Ee” We learn from the Court Journal that Mr. Fillmore appeared at the Queen’s Draw- ing room, not in any fantastic cost but in plain evening dress. His personal appear- ance is highly complimented by that journal, which is aleo somewhat astonished by the ab sence of lackey-like deference for him on the part of the Americans. We copy a paragraph: “The presence of an ox President of the the United States at our Court is an event which deserves a passing note, Mr. Fillmore looks to be even a younger man than Mr. Bu- chanan, the American Minister; his hair is not so while. nor is there any appearance of baldness. Ho seems apparently about fifty eight, is smaller in stature than the Minister, but with as handsome and intellectual a coun- tenance. [+ is amusing to see the sang froid with which the former chief of this powerful Government is treated by the officers of one of his successors. The republican principle in this matter is no fiction; and the ex-Presi- dent has really and actually becomo nothing more than an American citizen. Mr, Fillmore has, bi , been received with much con- sid ion at Court and with great distinction by the Ministers. At the brilliant assemblies of the Viscountess Palmerston and the Ccunte:s of Clarenden there is no doubt the ex-Presi- dent will be the personage of the day. When presented to Her Majesty, Mr. Filimore wore & plain dress suit.’’ Narurat Science —Over two bundred sub- scribera have been secured in Boston to the great work of Professor Agassiz, announced as forthcoming. The Transcript says: “A friend tells that Prof. A. is not les3 astonished than gratified by «hat has been done and is doing, and is now writing to Humboldt and other great men of science in Europe, to as- tonish them also, and to teach the world, through them, that the people of these United States know as well how to appreciate and support science, as how to acquire wealth and wer, to secure private rights and reward in- lustry, to promote education, and to maintain the rights and the honor of their couatry.”” += ___ Bronze Srarve or Wasuixcton —On Thursday afternoon, the first experiment of casting was made at Hubbard’s foundery, and although the matter was kept, as he th ught, quiet, before the hour had urrived for tapping the furnace, Smith’s band made their appear- ance, at once produced a sensation of enthu- siasm among the workmen. This scene wo shall long remember, and love to remember a3 a bright omen of Virginia; we shall honor Hubbard, and glory in the thought—that the first bronze statue ever made of Wesbington, was cast in the metropolis of his native State. Rich. Eng Too Anxtous, By HaLr.—An amusing affair happened lately between acoal dealer and a purchaser. The latter was very anxious to ace that the former did not cheat bia, so he (the purchaser) inspected tho weighing of the coal himself, and felt perfeoctiy satisied that he got his full allowance, without any desire on the part of the coal dealer to “shave.” However, while the coal was weighing, the driver of the team could not he!p laughing, aware at the time, that the purchaser wa. par- ticu'ar about his full weight of coal The purcheer, noticing the lunghing of the driver, asked him, when he received his coal, what it was all about;-so tke driver told him: “Why,” said he, “when your coal was weighing you ware standing on the serles. and was weighed with it.” “Ie it poseible? why, i weigh nearly two hundred pound-!”? “ Well, sir,” said tho driver, “you ere sold.” “Yes,” was tho reply, “and I have lovght myseif, too.’ ALEXANDRIA RartLroap.—The completion of the Ratlroad from Chariottesviile to Lynch- burg, bas, as we learn from a gentleman jast from Lynchburg, been placed bervond all ques tion. The Orange and Aiexandria road, un- der whose charier the Lyschburg oxtension is construoted, has been constructed, has so oured a lozn in New York city, of $1 209,000 —asum tufficient, with tho ‘speedy construs- tion of this important link in the great North- ern and Southwestern lines of railway. The work has been conducted up to this time with energy thathag been unexpected, under the previous pecuniary embarassments that is- volved the road —Charlotteserl/e Advocate. ers aitending the Northern Market bemg desirous of participating in celebreiing the An niversary of American Independence, give notice toat there will be no market on Wednesday, July 4th, at said market. jy 2—2" NORTHERN LIBERTI£S’ PIRE CO.— Thero will be a regular meeting of this Company THIS EVENING at their Engiae Houser, Members are requested to be punctual in thei tendance, 3.
