The Union is of opinion that the Allies are, from the date of their late terrible disaster, to continue to meet with reverses) The Union also urges the Democrats to do staunch battle against Know Nothingism.

An Inquisition—The Know Nothings on the Election Committce of the Board of Alder- men of this city are going quite extensively into the old Romizh inquisition system, of which they profess to hove so great a horror Yesterday afternoon the committee met at the City Hall, and they voted toexclude reporters, fothat the public may be kept in ignorance of their proceedings in the progress of the investigation into the frauds of their friends at the late election ; and, we presume, if pos- sible, for all time, so far as the pointe made in favor of the contestantz, are concerned ‘This determination can have no other possi- ble object, and demonstrates that if they can succeed in carrying out their purposes, we are no longer to have a free government here, in which the acts of the agente of the people shall all be subjected to the scrutiny of those whose rights are involved in what they do under pretence of administering cur muni- cipal affairs They also voted not to be governed, in con- wtruing the rights of their fellow citizens under the charter of the corporation, by the interpretation put on that instrument by our highest court of law.

Among them we find the following - * Six pea jackets, made of gutta percha fabric, were baled in the same maanenes the eloth clothing for the navy, under a pressure of thirty tons. They were then placed over a steam boiler in ‘xe yard, and remained for sixteen days subject to an average tempera- ture of 190 degrees, at times as high as 212 . On eXamiuation, the garments were found in the same state as when packed. There was no adhesion of tue folds, nor any decomposition of the gutta percha. One jacket ‘was dripped in water, rolled up and sewed in ‘the corners, (but not pressed,) and subjected to the same heat for threedays. On examina- tion, this, also, was found uninjured.’ The result of these, and many other som- what similar tests, of course induced the proper officers of the department to order a consider- ‘pile quantity of gutta pereha goods for yari- ous naval purposes, which, we understand, are to be distributed among the three squad- rons, in which the adaptation of articles fab- ricated of the material can be most severely tested, viz: In the East Indies, African and Gulf squadrons. Indeed, it ean hardly fail to turn out that the application of this gum to indastrial purposes will prove one of the most remarkable and successful inventions or im- provements known to the progress of the arts on this side of the Atlantic.

Important Contracts Awarded.—Within the last few days the Secretary of the Treas- ury has made awards among the bidders for the construction of three important works con- fided to his charge by Congress at its last ses- sion. Thus, the construction of the marine hospital at Chelsea, Mass, has fallen toa firm known as that of Blanchard & Emmerson, at $114,770; that of the ecustom-house at Barn- stable, Mass., has been awarded to a firm’ known as Adams & Jacobs. at $17,250; and the construction of the marine hospital at De- troit, Mich., has been awarded to Messrs. In- gersoll & Granger. All these parties are the lowest bidders for the works falling to them respectively. Col. Fauntleroy—Kit Carson—A Mutiny among the Troops, and Imminent Peril of Major Blake—Judge Brocchus—A Court of Inquiry, &c.—We present the readers of the Star with a second letter from our so weil-in- formed, attentive and able New Mexico cor- respondent, reaching us by the last mail or ex press to Independence, from that far distant quarter. Don Fennanpez de Taos, New Mexico, May 31, 1855. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Col. Fauntleroy for the service which he has ren dered this country in these campaigns. Such is the general sentiment of the people here. Amongst those who are warmest in the admie ration of that officer, and who are most ready to mention him in terms of honorable com- mendation, is the far-famed and much beloved Kit Carson. Ata public dinner recently given in the Plaza de Don Fernandez, that noble mountaineer, in response to a sentiment pro- posed in honor of himself, after repeated and vociferous calls, modestly arose and said «I have nothing to say in reference to my- self; but this much I have to say: that Col Fauntleroy and his commind have aceom- plighed more for this territory than all the other military ag on in New Mexico put together, for the chastisement of the hostile Tudians. Ispeak from my own knowledge ; for I e been personally with nearly every campaign that has been carried on against the Indians in this territory. and am familiar with the history of those which it has not been my ggod fortune to accompany. I slept in the same tent with Col. Fauntleroy during his first cam- paign, and experienced, while with him, the eoldest and most inclement weather that [ ever encountered in the mountains. I wasa striet observer of the bearing of that officer, antl can most cheerfully and cordially testify that he shrank from no danger, exposure or privation while engaged in the discharge of his duties as commander of the campaign.’’ Let not these successful movements induce the Government to diminish or relax its efforts on behalf of the peace and prosperity of New Mexico. Much is yet due to these people from their new sovereign. Let them be brought t realize fally that the head of our gieat re public has a faithful and unfailing solicitude tor their welfare, and the sun will not shine on a more loyal community of citizens than they will prove to be. Cherish them, and the flit of our flag will thrill their hearts with vital and enthusiastic patriotism—neglect them with | the air of cold indifference, and its folds wiil be the shroud of that national devotion of which we now behold the expanding germ. The volunteer eee which have been co- operating with the United States troops, have been composed almost entirely of native Mex- icans, and well have they earned the reputa- tion of brave and faithful soldiers. No man in the field, either regular or volunteer, has shown move valor and true devotion to the eause of the country than the gallant and much esteemed Manuel Chaves, captain of one of the brave volunteer companies. At the re- cent dinner in this plaza, his name was men- tioned in the most honorable terms, and hailed with the most ardent enthusiasm. He replied in a handsome response. complimentary to Col Fauntlercy and Lieut Col. St. Vrain, and his sentiment was hailed with deafening applause. | Give us more such gallant men as Captain | Chaves, and let the General Government be duly mindful of our welfare, and New Mexico, from one extremity to the other, will soon challenge any other Territory or State of our | Union for true deyotion to the institutions and | the cause of our common country | The last two weeks have been marked by | much excitement in our plaza. Three courts, | during that time, have been in session. Judge | Brocchus has been holding a special term of the United States District Court for the trial of criminal cases, and a court-martial and a military court of inquiry have, at the same time, been in session. The officers composing the court-martial were Cul. Fauntlervy, first drage us; Lieut Trevilt, third infantry; Lieut. Adams, first dragoons; Lieut. Magruder, first dragoons; | Lieut. Jackson, third infantry ; Lieut. Joho- | son, first dragoons; Lieut. Williams, first dra- i goons ; Lieut. Craig, third infantry; and ; Capt. Bowen, commissary of New Mexico, | judge advocate. Those who composed the court of inquiry, which was called at the request of Major Thompson, were Col. Brooks, second artillery; Major Brooks, third infantry ; Lieut. McCook, third infantry ; and Dr. Byrne, United States surgeon, judge advocate. . The two latter courts have grown out of a riot which occurred in this place in the month of March last, amongst the soldiers of one of the companies of the first regiment of U. 8. dragoons, under the immediate command of Major Thompson, in which Major A. H. Blake, of that regiment, was assaulted and severely beaten by several of the privates of that eom- my, who were in a state of intoxication. or Blake, when assailed, was eagaged in the lwudable performance of his duty, in en- deavoring to restore order amongst the troops. It was one of the most Sagricats occurrences of the kind ever witues nd such was its fearful porteut at one time, that the whole community was thrown into a state of deep and terriffic alarm, in view of the con: which the riot threatened. The li Blake was zaved only by the timely i Tpo- sition of Kit Carson aad Judge Brocehus, who seized one of the fatal carbines, as it was di- rected, by a bugler named Stevens, at the breast of the Major. The prompt interposition of the civil authorities, under the direction of the last-mentioned gentloman, as a civil mag- istrate, conduced materially to the subjugaticn ‘of seminy and the of the riot and the restoration-of the public peace. . The wholes from begin to end, has been thoroug! nine court aye soldiers, on the chi court of inquiry has insti- scrutiny into the affair, with a discovery of the source and ori- of the outrage. It is thought that, from of inquiry will originate a court mar- tial, for the trial of one of the officers connec- ted with the ort, company, should not the President of the United States, in view of ! the testimony elicited before the court of in- quiry, deem it his duty to exercise his author- ity by more summary means. Such occurren- ces ought to be discountenanced in the most prompt and positive manner; and all persons insolved therein, as agitators, abettors, or par- ticipants in any way, whether officers, scl- diers, or private citizens, should be held to the strictest possible accountability. God forbid that the Ne =p of our oy should be disturbed, or our hearts filled with terror, in like manner, again. marshall has tried view to Omico DEL Pais.

This is evident in the learned editorial disquisitions of late appear- ing in its co!umns about “the Secretary of the Army’’—a phrase never perpetrated by any one long enough in the United States to have been naturalized—and of “‘Mr. John Dobbin’’ Seeretary of the Navy. Asa matter of course, amid the abuse of the Government of the United States and ultra Know Nothingism with which the editorials of this writer are marked, one perceives ludicrous proofs of his utter ignorance of our public affairs, and, in- deed, of the philosophy as well as of the de- tails of our system of government. It strikes us as rather odd that a journal like the Cour- terand Enquirer cottons intensely to ultra- Know Nothingism, should surrender its editc- rial columns to an unnaturalized foreigner, and countenance him in the work of villifying its Government with ignorant and senseless twaddle; senseless, because its strictures are founded wholly on an entire misapprehension of American institutions as well as American public men. Roceipts Given to Disbursing Officers.—If a creditor of the Government, by his recéipt to a disbursing officer as the agent of the Goverx- ment, acknowledges to have reecived money of the agent, by which the latter receives a credit or settlement with his principal, the receipt is held to be conclusive, and a claim of the credi- toron the ground that he had not been paid | the money for which he had receipted wiil not | be entertained.

The most sinister Tuuwrs prevail in regard to the transaction. | By some accounts the English loss is set. down at four thousand men, but the report is be- lieved to be much exaggerated. The following are the only official notifiea- tions of the event: ‘Lord Panmure regrets to have to announce that he has received information that the En- glizh troops attacked the Redan, and the ! ‘rench the Malakoff towers at daylight on the | morning of the 18th, without the success which | has hitherto attended our efforts. Both the French and oursetves have suffered consider- ably. The names of tho officers who have fal- be impossible to receive complete returns of all casualties befure the 30th inst., (June) at the earliest. | The Moniteur announces that the Govern- meat has received two dispatches from Gener- al Pellissier—the first dated the 17th, informs of operat erted between the General and his alli that the Turks and Chas- seurs iade a reconnvisance towards Aitodar, Gen. Bosquet occupying the Tehernaya. The next day at day bieak the French and Eng- lish were to attack the Malakoff tower. The second dispatch, dated the 18th, announces that the attack had failed, and that, although the troops had shown the greatest ardor, and had gained # footing in the Malakoff tower, General Pelissier was obliged to order their | retirement into the parallel. This was effect- ed with order, aud without molestation by the | enemy. Private accounts published in the London | Standard say the loss of the British officers in killed and wounded, are General Sir J. Camp- bell, Col. Yea, and Col. Shadforth. From the , obstinacy und courage with which the combat | was maintained by the British at the Redan, : and the necessity of eventually retiring from the aitack, the slaughter on all sides has heen immense, and, if the infurmation be correct, | the loss ia killed and wounded of the British alone, amounts to very little short of four thousand. H The greatest portion of the loss was experi- | enced in a ravine, where a powerful and un- | expected battery was opened on the troops. | There i+ reason to fear that the loss has been | very great, but Lord Palmerston said last | night no wdditional information had arrived. | The allies lost terribly by the Russians spring- i ing a miue, and during the confusion they re- eaptured the Mamelon Tower.
