The Intelligencer endorses the views of the Rochester (N. ¥.) Amerécan in opposition to the peculiarsentiments of the Charleston Mercury with reference to a dissolution of the Union, and insists that the great body of the Ameri- ean people are devotedly attached to the Amer- jean Union. The Union insists that the Demoerats are the real conservative party of the country, and notices the fact that the Pennsylvania Know Nothing State convention, in session at Reading, Pa., last week, went over on to the Massachusetts platform of Wilson & Co., under the lead of ex-Governor W. F. Johnson. ‘Tee Wic-wam IN A stEW.—Tho reader will find in our lecal columns an interesting ‘ Card to the Public,” from Mr. 8S. C. Espy, who, a3 strange as it seems, bears the name of an in- dividual who, 2,709 years ago, was secretary to an unmentionable lodge in the 7th ward of the ancient and venerated city of Nineveh. He speaks of threats against his life. In this re- spect he is not quite as kindly attended to as the Editor of the Star, who is almost daily in the receipt of anonymous letters, threatening to hang, draw, and quarter him; more espe cially because his familiar spirit cannot be persuaded to give over his labors in Nineveh. Our note to Mr. Espy explains itself. We need hardly add, that our spirit is by no means in- debted to Mr. E. for ‘‘his good fortuno”’ in strik- ing sorich a vein of the diggings. He is as innocent as an unborn child, in connection with our publications of the interesting list. I PERSONAL. ++++ Hon. Alexander Walker and family, of La., and Capt. Dyer, U. S.

Knickerbocker says -—A methodist minister of this city, a short time since, while reading the diseipline to the congregation, paused to sug- Gest that if any of the congregation will con- Unue to wear jewelry, the number of rings be pet more than five, nor the breastpin larger than a good sized turnip. Davumep Ovr.—Last Tuesday afternoon, a sailor on board the U. 8S. 5 ip Ohio was drummed out of the service, to the tune of the “Rogue’s March.” He had lately shipped under the name of Riley, but his real name is Wm. Anderson. Some years since he was con- victed of theft on board a United States ves- scl, and sentenced by the Court Martial to be “drummed out” if he was ever caught in the service again. This being the case, the sen- tence was carried out. He took thin, very coolly, and as he was passing through t ie gate of the Navy Yard, he tore his certificate of disgraceful “discharge into fragments, and threw them in defiance at his attendants.— Boston Times Ey The pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Cincinnati, signed also by the Bishops of Cleveland, Louisville, Vincennes and Coving- ton, and the Vicar and Coadjutor of Michigan, recently issued, contains advice to the mem- hers of that persuasion to discountenance and discontinue altogether the practice of retailing intoxicating drinks as a means of obtaining a livelihood. Intemperance isealled a ‘horri- ble vice,”’ and the traffic in intoxicating drinks is considered dangerous to the morals of those engaged in it, disereditable in public estsma- tion, and unnecessary asa means of obtaining livelihood. Bishop Laughlin, cf Brooklyn, ina sermon preached lately, also anathema- tized the traffic in the ardent as calculated to increase the population of the place that is paved with intentions, and where liquids are sup; to be very scarce. Tux Sepuction axp ELorement Case.—We some time since alluded briefly to a case of se- duction and elopement, but not being fully ad- vised of the particulars, we refrained ‘from giving publicity to the names of the parties interested, being unwilling to incur the respon- sibility that might have arisen inthe event of the rumor proving unfounded, or at least ex gerated. These objections, however, being removed, we have now no hesitation in giving the particulars of the case. It appears that a school teacher named John Killwe! 1, residing in East Hanover township in this county, who had a wife and two children living with him, eloped with a young girl fifteen years of age, named Mary Rauce, daughter of William Rauch, a respectable farmer of the Same town- ship. Mary had been going to school to Kil- well for some two years, during which time he had gained her affections to that di as to have almost entire control over . The elopement caused much excitement in the neigborhood. and numbers turned out in pur- suit of them. They were found and arrested a few days afterwards in what is called the Fourth Mountain, by Jonathan Strohm, having been in the woods during the time of their ab- sence. Thegirl was in a state of almost help- Jess weakness, our informant ing that an aa ps aye =o on her between e time er leay: T father’s house when she was found.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The New York Times and President Pieree. The New York Timespof, Friday lag, endeav ors, in a spirit of recklessness and injustice al- together unbecoming an independent journal claiming to be respectable, to create the im-— Pression that the public business was delayed and inconvenienced by the recent témporary ab- sence of the President to the sea-shore. Aftera column of comment upon the removal of Mr. Wilson from the Land Office, and the antici- pated resignation of the Commissioner of Pat- ents:and the Commissioner of Pensions, the Times says: “While the country is thus losing important officers at a critical moment, it has also lost its President. President Pierce is at Cape May. For practical pu he might as well be at Cape Horn, since he cannot by any possibility Fiero to the appointment of successors for is retiring corps without the advice of his Cabinet; and the Cabinet is scattered to the four winds.”’ The gross indclicacy of the above extract is as revolting, if possible, as are its unblushing falsehoods. Tho editor of the Times knows that President Pierce has absented himself from his post, since his inauguration to office, less than any of his predecessors. He knows, or ought to know, that he has remained in Washington during the hottest of the summer months, against the repeated protestations of his family physicians. And in this particular case, the Times editor has reason to know that duty to his invalid wife alone induced him to take the journey to which such cruel allusion ismade. Has it come to this, that a President of the United States cannot visit the sea-side with a member of his family, to whom the fresh and invigorating ocean air is essential to re- covery of health, without incurring the malig- nant mendacity of partisan newspapers! The Times states a palpable falsehood in its allegation that ‘‘the Cabinet is scattered tothe four winds. They are each and every one in Washington, and have been since the absence of their chief. The Executive having returned, however, we hope and trust that a portion of them will seek relaxation and re- pose at some of the cool and refreshing resorts so comparatively near to Washington. They all need and require it, and no right minded man will ever be found to question the pro- priety of their pursuing the same course dur- ing a portion of the hot months, which every other individual finds it necessary to take for the preservation of his and his family’s health, if he has one. The statement that the Presi- dent might, for all practical purposes, as well be at Cape Horn as at Cape May, bears its refutation upon its face. The opposition raise a sorry issue for themselves, when they ques- tion the energy or tke integrity with which the different Exeeutive Departments of the Government have been administered during the administration of Franklin Pierce! The Light Artillery Battery—We have taken occasion to apply at the War Depart- ment for information as to the details of the circumstances under which the Light Artillery battery failed to take part in the recent cele- bration of the fourth of July, and learn that with the expectation that the volunteers of the District would unite with the citizens general- ly in the celebration of the fourth of July, (our national anniversary,) the Light Artillery bat- tery was ordered from Baltimore to Washing- ton, to take part in the celebration. The battery arrived on the morning of the 34 July. On the same day, a programme, published in the Union, gave notice that the military—regulars and volunteers—would con- stitute an escort, to bo commandad by Colonel Wm. Hickey, the commander of the regiment of District militia. This was the first informa- tion received by the War Department as to the order of proceeding, and an officer of the battery was directed to report to Col. Hickey for further information. Colonel H. replied that he would take no part in the military exercises. Colonel Hickey called in the course of the day at tho war office, and stated that he had declined the invitation of the committee, whose programme was published, to call out the militia, and that two or three of the com- panies of his regiment would join one proces- sion, and one or more would join another, and that there would be two parties celebrating the day. The Secretary promptly announced his decision, under this (to him) new view of the case, not to order the United States Light Artillery battery to connect itself with either procession. The propricty of this course ha: already been commented on in a former number of the Star. Dr. Miller called on the Secretary, on the evening of the 3d, and learned his instruc- tions. If he did not learn them before—and | he seems to complain that he did not—it was because he did not earlier communicate with him. “ The least informed of military matters must know that orders to United States troops must emanate from the War Department, and that to secure the co-operation of the Light Artil- lery battery, it was necessary to have made ap- plication for, or at least to have communicated to the War Department, what was desired. If, in the downward tendency of the times, we have reached a point at which party strife ceases not, even on the glorious birthday of our national independence, it is to be hoped that the day has not yet arrived—that it is far distant—when the little army of the Union is to be thrown into one party scale or the other, as the Executive branch of the Government may incline. Arrests of Englishmen in Prussia —‘‘A letter from Berlin states that, in addition to the Secretary of the English Consul at Cologne, five other persons have been arrested in Prussia for enrolling men for the English Forei, ‘ion, and that very severe proceedings haye been commenced against them.”’—Journal of Com. The above paragraph is of interest, because it conveys a pointed commentary on the recent pleas of our respected cotemporary, the Na- tional Intelligencer, with reference to what it evidently regards as the extraordinary conduct of the Administration in causing the arrest of British officials in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, for violating the Neutrality laws of the United States, by raising recruits in those ports forthe English army in the Crimea. It appears that Britain essayed a similar game in Prussia, where those engaged in it were dealt with by the Prussian Government, as by ours, on the occasions with reference to which the Jntelli- gencer imagines it resorted to high-handed measures. We have held, and continue to hold, that it is the plain duty of the Govern- ment of the United States to put a stop to vi- olations of its Neutrality laws, whether at- tempted by one power acting against another, or by fillibusters, for whose acts no government admits responsibility. We deeply regre€ that the Intelligencer’s Perceptions of right and wrong ao not lead it to comprehend that in # legal poiut of view the effort of England to raise seoruits in the United. States-to act against Russia, with which Power out relations are of the most friendly character, are precisely on a par with those of the Cuban Junta, to raise a foree within the limits of the United States, where- with towrest Cubatfrom Spain. Legally, there is not the least difference between the two cases; and it was as clearly the duty of this Government to prevent the violation of our law in the one case, as in the other. In the United States the law knows no distinction of persons, while they may not have been ac- knowledged by the Government in a diplo- matic capacity, or as members of a received foreign diplomatist’s family. The foreign fanc- tionaries arrested by orders from Washington not coming under the excepted head, were, therefore, very properly arrested. Had their persons been thus shielded from arrest by the law of nations, they would, doubtless, have been ordered out of the United States long since. We have only, in conclusion, to express the wish that all those who have been led to believe that the action of the Government here in dealing with the functionaries of the British Government essaying to raise recruits for the Crimea in the United States, as they dealt with those who endeavored to invade Cuba from our shores, was arbitrary and un- called-for, may sce the brief paragraph from the Journal of Commerce at the head of thie article.

The next House.—There are twenty-five earnest and active supporters of the present administration elected to the next House of of Representatives from non-slave-holding States, and itis reduced to a certainty, in the minds of the best political calculators here, that, allowing for all possible contingencies, at least seventy-five staunch administration men will hold seats in the House from slave holding States. Or in other words, that the ad- ministration will commence the session with a force of one hundred, going the whole figure in in its favor, without calculating the strength it may obtain from the disintegration and denationalization of the Know Nothing party, which has elected quite a number of gentle- men who used it merely as a stalking horse on which to ride into Congress. We, ourself, know of at least five within the range of our own personal acquaintance, who, though they would not have been elected but for the favor of Know Nothingism, regard themselves as un- der no obligation to vote for its men, measures or principles. The old-fashioned Whig party will have, perhaps, twenty devoted friends in the body, and sfand a fair chance of bagging at least twice as many more from the nominal Know Nothing ranks, wherein there are not a few who being Whigs, also mounted the hobby only to ride on into Congress. We here refer to the Seward wing of the Whig party, which has recently assumed the name of the Republican party, and has the personal sympathy of every anti-Nebraska Know. Nothing elected to the House. It will be recollected that only a day or two since the entire Know Nothing party of Pennsylvania went over to the Republican or Seward party, in State convention—that is, with the exception of ten delegates, who bolted and proclaimed their adhesion to the platform of the Philadelphia Know Nothing National Council. If the Know Nothing party proper thus so easily lone theis fosvein Pennsylvania, upon continuing to hold which all their calcu- lations of controlling the House were based, it js not unsafe to conclude that when the body ebmes to vote.on any really. test question, they will be found in a beggarly minority. While wo do not expect to find the Administration in an absolute majority in the House, it is never- theless equally clear to us that their vote on any party question, wherein the election of officers or governmental policy is concerned, will be twice as great as that of either of the wings or factions of the opposition. Assignment of Land Warrants in the Dis- trict of Columbia—The National Intelli- gencer, of this morning, says : ae C. Whiting, Esq., Acting Commis- sioner of the General Land Office, has decided that, in cases where cera pap of land war- rants have been acknowledged in this District before either magistrates or notaries-public, whose official characters and signatures are known to that office, the certificate of the clerk of the court authenticating these facts is not required.’’ ° Our cotemporary should have added, that when the General Land Office dispenses with the county clerk’s seal, knowing tho signaturo or seal of the certifying officer, it is necessary, in order to secure respect for the assigninent, not certified by the county clerk’s clerk’s seal, at the land offices in the West, that there should be a memorandum on the warrant from tho Commissioner of the General Land Office, setting forth that he has authorized the coun- ty seal to be dispensed with in the particular case. Superintendent of Timber Agencios.—We understand that the Secretary of the Navy has concluded to discontinue, after the Ist of Au- gust next, the superintendency of timber agen- cies under the Bureau of Yards and Docks, he having determined to make a change in the entire system. The local agencies in the State of Alabama have already been discontinued. From Fort Laramie.—Letters from David H. Burr, Esq., the Surveyor General of Utah, who is now on his way to that distant territory, state that the Indians were all quiet in the neighborhood of Fort Laramie on the 16th and and 17th of June. His party had traveled more than sixty miles, all the way through countless thousands of buffalo. The Secretary of the Navy will leave Washington to-morrow for the White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, whither, it seems to be un- derstood, bis physicians advise him to repai.

ALEXANDRIA, July 9, 1855. The prominent event yesterday was the con- firmation and ordination services at St. Paul's church. After the morning service of the lit- urgy, Bishop Johns preached from 2 Cor. 8: 5. Noticing in his opening the great contract be- tween the liberality of the Macedonian church and the penuriousness of modern Christians, the Bishop gave a plain and concise outline of the Christian plan of salvation; showed the necessity for the submission of every human creature; defined the conditions of that submis- sion; presented the design of the church in Baptism; explained that the rite of confirmation was but a renewal, on the part of those by whom it was received, of the Baptismal yow— a public profession of the Christian faith; and then, in a few words of earnest exhortation, he beseeeched all who had” not dong so to follow the example of the Macedonians, and, ** give themselves to the Lord.”’ The rite of confir- mation was then administered to thirteen per- sons by the venerable Bishop Meade. 8. C. Sands, of Charleston, S. C., was then ordaincd a priest of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the congregation dismissed with the bene- diction. At St. Mary’s Church, Rev. Samuc! Barber, S. J., preached at morning service. Professor Masi, of Washington, presided at the organ; and the choir, containing two of the best fo. male voices in the Union, surpassed itself in ney: At the Methodist Episeopal Church, Rev. R. L. Dashiel preached at morning ser- viee, and Rey. John Lanahan in the evening In the afternoon, about 4 o'clock, fire w discovered in the Mansion House stables on Fayette Alley. The firemen gathered quickly, and the flames were extinguished with bat slight damage. nm Saturday afternoon, St. John’s Academy, numbering some eighty pupils, paraded our streets with banners, flags, &c., to the music of Prosperi’s band, making quite a handsome display At 4o’clock, the vast saloon at Lib- Be all was thronged with the fair scx, over eight hundred honoring the occasion wiih their presence. The exhibition, entirely il- lustrative of the American revolution, opened by Master Wm. Adam with the introductory, and afterwards came a variety of pieces— among which ‘‘ The Little Rebels,” “‘ Marion's Dinner,”’ ‘ Yorktown,’’ original, by N. E. Foard, and the ‘“ American Flag,’” deserve special notice. At the conclusion of the exer- cises, a large number of superb medals, pre- miums, &c., were delive to the most de- serving by the Mayor, G. P. Wise, We were gratified to see upon the stand the old man eloquent of Arlington. The gold medal for conduct was awzrded to W. A. Philips, of Tennallytown, D. C., and the silver medals to various other scholars. This morning, the Methodist Protestant Sab- bath-school have just left the wharf for a | sayetey trip and pic-nie at Fort Washington. ur kindest wishes for a genial day and merry time attend them.
