a EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: SFIRIT OF THE MORSING PRESS. The Intelligencer, on the authority of a Massachusetts gentleman, asserts that the per- sonal-liberty-act of the Legislature of that State will be inoperative, as the Governor, (over whose veto it was enacted,) not believing it constitutional, will not give the requisite orders to iuscre its due administration. The same journal republishes the following card from General Quitman, appecring in the Nat- ehes (Miss.) Courser : “ A Carp —I have just read in the National Untetligencer of the 9th instant an editorial uader the head of ‘ Pocket Patriotism,’ com- menting, with valture appetite, upon a calum- aious article from the New York Sun. “The authors of these slanders know that, whatever may have been my connexion with the Cuban Junta, it would not now be a proper time to make explanations. 1 feei it, how. ever, duc to others, as well as my-elf, to say that both the above articies, co far as tuey purport to reflect upon myself or my imme- diate associates in the Cuban movement, are & tissue of barefaced and gratuitous falsehoods, for whieh no honorable man will make bim- self responsivle J. A. Quitman. “ Monmouth, June 20, 1855” The editor replies to this out-burst of the General in calm and dignitied language, showing that the New York Sun, the accred- ited organ of the General's | fillibustering aszociates, (the Cuban Junta,) was the author of the aspersion on himin qusstion—not him- self (the editor of the Intelligencer,) and takes occasion to make the fur flyin its quiet way. The Uaten repub!izhes an oration delivered by Gen. ing in 1850, saying, in the course of its comments on it: “ When the elequent epeaker alludes to the position of Massachusetts, and her relations to the otber S.ates, be seems to lift the curtain which hides the future, and to picture the Very scenes and events of the present period Massachusetts, isolated from her sisters, hos tile to ber own historical memories, the prey of ambitious knaves or fanatic prissts—Masaa- ehbusetts, once the fountain of revolutionary Principles, now the source of doctrises poi- genous to all healthy eto Rbmarpmeryge sa among the earliest to move against the foreign foe, aud now the last to defend the domestic peace—whst a spectacio is this to hold up to the contemplation of American youth on the to-morrow! The pen that writes of her present position cannot do more justice to its worst features, or employ terms of loftier rebuke of her most treasoaable example, than the scholar who anticipated and predicied all these results from her early stubborn hostility to every doctrine looking to the Preservation of the constituticn and its compromises Who will say that this was Ro. the act of patriotic and filial affection? How much betier and purer such an exhibi- tion of courage aad «f friendship than the #i- lence of the great minds of Massachusetts in this hour when bese acd ingrate men have encompassed her with peril, and threaten to ateep her in the deepest degradation? When the whole Americau people outside of Massa- ehasects look with horror upon the strait into which she has falien, and see the vermin of disuvion fastened upon her like living plagues, is there no voice from the great whigs of 1850 that will rise from the sileuce of this charnel- house, and summon the past to rebuke the and the treason ox the present? Has the success of fanaticism stricken them ail damb? Let the inspiration whieh thrills threugh the oration of (ieneral Cushing be at once infused into a thorough organization against treason, and the victory that Webster achieved over fanaticism on the same field will be triumphantly re-enacted, with solid and maneut advantages to all portions of our country.” WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ‘Ibe Fourth of July. —To-morrow being the anniversary of our National Independence, we shall issue no paper on that day, in accord- ance with our custom of encouraging the largo pumber of perrons connected with the bu-1- ness of our office to devote it to the memory of those to whom, through Providence, we owe the unexampied prosperity, liberty, and advan- tages which, as a poople, we so signally en- doy. We trust thatthe morrow will not pass With its leezon unheeded by any capable of re. flection. The history of the seven years ovents with which the ccoasion is indissolubly con- nected, and of the glorious results of thore events, tells what may be accomplished by brethren of different nations and ereeds con tent to join hands for the establishment and maintenance of true civil and religious liberty and equality. These results—the American Union, its Constitution, and the national pros Perity, virtue, and eulightenment, which came out of theu—were wor by Episcopal Vir- ginis, Paritan Massachusetts, Catholic Mary- lond, Baptist Rhode Island, Quaker Pennsyl- vania, by the native-born Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hancock, and the rest of the galaxy of naiive bora patriots, warriors and states- men. whose pens and arms were interlocked to that end, with those of Morris, LaFayette, D Kalb, Montgomery, Pulaski, Kosciusko, the never to be forgotten Iriah brigade of Pennsylvania, and others who ficd from the disabilities of abzolu-ism in the Oid World © win their rights as wen, with their swords, and at thecost of life if need be, on this continent. We repeat, we trust that all will turn over ia their minds the history of our Revolutionary straggle, and will lay to heart the lesson in favor of the eternal justice and wisdom of entire civil and ree ligious equality among all citizens of the United States, which it inculcates. Col. Fauntleroy’s and Lisut. Col. Vrain’s Campaigus.— Our attentive New Mexican cor- respondent favors us by the last Santa Fe ex- Press, with most interesting letters from that region. The follwing from his pen will com- mand the attention of the whole country, wherein it describes the recent campaigns in that quarter: Dom Fenwanpzz ve Taos, _ New Mexico, May 31, 1855. H The Indians are now beginuing to feel taat we are in earnest with them, aud that thoir fate is to be chastised into submission and peace. The first loseon was taught them by the gallant Sturgis. last winter, in bis hand- some pursurt and chastisemsnt of the band of Apaches, who committed their diabolical out- rages on number of dofenceless women, al. most within sight of Sania Fo. ‘The second lesson was iaught by the brave and unflinch- ing Ewell, in whose command the gallant Stanton feil; and now we have to edd a series of anexampled achievements under the com mand of Col Fauntleroy. of the first regiment of United states dragoons ‘This officer left Port Massachusetts ou the 15th day of March with his command of regulars and volunteers— the latter under the immediate command of the gallant and beloved Lieut Col. 8t. Vrain— and,on the 19.b, overtook aad the whole foree of the Utabs and Apaches, east of the San Joan mountains, when they were routed, seven killed, many wounded, and fi. teen or twenty horses taken. Alter this en- Sagement, the two tribes separated. and the Apaches’ trail was purs Ia five days Biter, they were overtaken, and, in various skirmishes, several were killed, 2 pamber of them wounde, and abeut thirty horses taken. This expedition was made at a most extraor- @ivary souson of the year, aud under the most ombarrassin: oircunistences, Tha weather ly pr@ceeding the recent election here, the was ioclement almost beyond example and it | Foow Bothing majority reduced the rate of became \ Recessary to fellow the enemy through driving snows, almost impassabie drifts, and up the most presipitous olf ffs of the mountaias. Many places were explored, which had proba- bly never before been seen by the white man, and which the Indians had enjoyed for cen- turies as a safe retreat from the purszit of those whom they had wronged. The command returned to Fort Masssoba- setts about the last of March, and prepared for another sameclen, whioh was commenced on the 28th by half of the command ucder Lieut, Col. St, Vrain—Col. Fauntleroy intend- ing to move, with the other half, in another direction, and unite at a point where it was supposed the Indians could be found. A large Apache trail drew off Col St. Vrain, and baving, with great seal and perseverance, overteken the band, he charged upon it, kill- ing eight and tsking many prisoners. Coi. Fauntleroy, in the mean 6, proceeded against the Utahs, and made one of the most extraordinary and successful surprises ever attempted against the Inuians. His command consisted, in part, of a company of artillery dismounted, armed with rifles, and dismounted dragoons, the balance of one company of mounted dragoons and two companies of Mex ican volunteers. He left Fort Massachusetts on the 23d of April, and after marching by night and day for six consecutive day#, ana having traversed one hundred and forty miles, be cams upon the Indians in the valley of the Arkaosas, and made a compiste and over whelming surprise, at daylight, on the 29th of April. ihe camp, consisting of between four and five hundred Utahs and Apaches, was at- tacked, and many were killed and wounded, six prisoners and fifty siz horses captured, and all (boir lodges and contents were wholly destroy- ed. Capt. Chaves, an officer of the volunteer troops, of great valor and skill, was ordered to search for and count the dead bodies of the Indian forces, and he announced spray Dosey with evident signs of many having 0 Be- verely wounded. This blow will bo felt fora long time to come, and will exert most salutary influence on the peace and prosperity of this country. It has far eurp: oy other achievement in this territory, acd has inspired the people with hope for their own safety, and confidence in the faith of the Government of the United States The people in this portion of New Mexico have been rejoiciag over the bril- lian¢y, promptness and success of those cam- aigns ; and, doubtless, every heart interested ss i suppression of Indian hostilities, from the northern to the southern extremity of the territory. throbs with gratitude to tho gallant officers, Col Fauntleroy and Lt. Col. St. Vrain, with their subaletrna, aud the brave soldiery under their command, for the rainbow of romise with which kind Heaven bas bespanned Kew Mexico, in response to their patient atraggles and patriotic sacrifices in behalf of their country, of justice, and of. humanity. The command returned to Fort Massachu- setts, a few days sinee, in order to prepare for a renewal of the campaign, with the unfalter- ing determination to chastise the hostile tribes until they sue, ex good faith, for peace, and until treaties can be made with them, upon such @ foundation as to secure a strict and faithful conformity to all their stipulations. Amigo DEL Pais. Consternation—The new corporation fi cials are evidently frightened at the idea of attempting to conduct the business they have undertaken, without previous instruction from their predecesaors. This is apparent in the complaint in cur talented and trathful neigh- bor’s columns yesterday, because Mr. Robt. J Roche and his assistants failed to remain at the City Hall to that end. Mr. Roche and his assistants were always careful to do every thing in the discharge of their daties fairly incumbent on them, us all know who have transacted business with the City Collector's offize for some years past. Being out of office their business was not in the City Hall, bu: elsewhere. Had the succeesor of Mr. Roche, or any ono else interested, called on the retiring officers and signified a wish that they should remain to instruct them or to give them any information whatever, it would doubtless have afforded thom (Mr Roche and his assistants) pleasure to have done so. No such request having been made, they went where their own business called them, when their term of office was up, like sensible men. Nineveh.—This afternoon we continue the publication of the census ef the Seventh Ward of Nineveh, as discovered by the re- searches of our familiar spirit, who has already dug out the lists of those who lived and habited in three other wards of that ancient and venerated eity, which we have in cur poasession for publication so soon as wa shall have finished with those of the Seventh Ward aforesaid. We feel well assured that our kind familiar spirit will sueceed in bring- ing to light lists of the taree remaining wards of Nineveh. The following is our instalment of the day, of the census of the ancient city’s Seventh Ward : ° Solloma Ballyer, Sami. W. Bradly.E Burd, P. Sterrett, W. T Porter, J. F. Naylor.S Black, W.

Watering Plicos.—We recently published an iaterestiog letter from Old Point Comfort, than which neither hemisphere contains at this time a more desirable and agreeable sea- shore summer resort. In the same vicinity are other capital watering places, which should not be missed by those who desire to make the usual tour of such establishments that may be witbin striking distance of each other. Thus, we have the Piney Point House, so long a fa- vorite resort of Washingtonians, Baltimoreans, Virginians, and Marylanders. This establish- ment was never better kept than this season. Those who love fishing, crabbing, and sailing in safe water, should by no means fail to stop there at some period of the season. Blackis ton’s Pavilion, on Blackiston’s island, farther down towards the ocean, a new establishment, comparatively, is being kept this summer with great ec/at. One catches there all the delight- fal breesee for which the noble Chesapeake is 80 justly celebrated. There is also Dr. Banks's celebrated Chesapeeke Hall, at Hampton, al most within a stono’s throw of Old Poist The doctor bes for years kept this establishment as the resort for those who are fond of the very best old Virginia living and quiet, at a water- ing place He has recently added extensively to his accommodations, and refitted the house throughout, 2s well as refurnished it. He is n0W prepared to entertain on a much larger soale than heretofore, and to afford hia guests @ great many extra accommodations, comforts, and laxaries. No other portion of the coast of the United States is this season so capitally supplied with agreeable watering places as the region of the Chesapeake, for each of thase four establishments—Qld Point, Hampton, Biackiston Island, and Piney Point—is an- surpa ed {n its peculiar style.

The truth is, the reduction was &n ill-disguised eleotioneering trick, conceived only for the dishonest purpose of deceiving the taxpayers. Suoh ocourrences go to show the entire want of ordinary integrity on which every thing that Know Nothingism does, is founded. Tho Dilloa Case.—We havo satisfied ourself that the pother with newspapers over the con- dition of the questions arising out of the Dil- lon affair, between our Minister in Paris and the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, is all gammon. That ia, the correspondence between tae two Governments on the subject, has so far beon of the most friendly character, and that there exists no likelihood whatever of the least misunderstanding to grow out of it. All sto ries or rumors to the coutrary, whether ema- nating from Paris or Washington, are unwor- thy of credit. This may be relied on, as it embodies the firm belief in the premises of all the representatives of foreign governments here. Apprehension of Deserters —In order to entitle claimants to rewards or expenses in the pursuit and arrest of deserters, there must have been an advertisoment from competent authority specifying the reward, or an order from the commander of the fort from which the desertion took place, and the names of the deserters must be given. The actual expenses muat be sworn to by the persons employed in the pursuit. It cannot Tell the Truth —Our talented, amiable, courteous, and ingenuous neighbor yestorday said that the new Commissionor of Public Buildings has employed two persons to do the work reeently performed by one indi- vidual. We have to say that this story isa thoor roorback—nothing more. The General Land Office—The floor of the basement story of the west wing of the Patent Office building having been finished, we un- derstand that a considerable portion of the clerical fores of the Land Office bureau will at once be removed down there, to make room in the Troasury Department for the scoommoda- tion of those engaged directly in its business. Land Warrants.—Eighty acre land war- rants were this morning issued to the Seoreta- ry of State, and Judge Heath, Esq , Commis- sioner of Pensions, to make up their quota to 160 acres, and a 160 acre warrant was iasued to the Secretary of war.

The couple remained at Mr. Goodale’s about ten days, when Cutler was again taken sick acd died. Mr. Goodale, after conversing with the wo- man, suspected something was wrong, and sent @ messenger to Manchester who returned with information that Catler had a father, mo ther, and wife in that place ‘The girl for whom ke had deserted his wife, aleo belonged to Manchester, and has a father living there These parties came to West Boylston to attend the funeral of Catler, and the widow of the faithless found herself face tof:ce with her for whom she and her children had been de serted The girl was, after the faneral, taken tothe house of her parent.—oston Tele- graph, Friday CaiLpREs Kitzep anp Eaten ay Hoes. . roe ed of aoe afield, became derang: at twenty ago, and left home, taking with her two amit cuildren, one aged about two years and the other about four years.
