A Permanent Bridge over the Potomac.— We have witnessed the strife upon this subject among those identified with the various inter- ests advocating different positions for this pro- posed structure, and have come to the conclu- sion, after many years experience with the temper of Congress, that until our fellow citi- zens of the District of Columbia harmonize upon the question, we may struggle on in vain for a permanent structure over the Potomac opposite or above Washington. Congress will not vote a dollar for more than the necessary repairs of the present rickety old concern known as ‘the Long Bridge,’”’ and of the Falls” Bridge, until they are satisfied that there is little difference of opinion as to the loeation, among those on this side of the river immediately interested; and also until a plan endorsed by the Engineers of the Government is presented to them which shall not contem- plate a very heavy expenditure, and will yet be permanent in its character. ing an appropriation of millions to that end from the National Treasury, the day has gone by when that might have been accom- plished, however desirable it may be to this community and that of the surrounding coun- try. Our fellow-citizons should look these facts in the face, and take their measures in this connection in view of them. It matters very little, indeed, to the general interest of this city, where the bridge shall stand, so that &@ permanent connection by bridge with the Virginia shore be secured. Nor will its even- tual location have any injurious effect on the value of the property in any quarter of Wash- ington, as many seem to believe. may rely on it, that Congress will never be persuaded to appropriate a dollar for a per manent Potomac bridge, until the great mass of the people of the District of Columbi monize their difficulties over the question.

The Union reviews the proscriptive action of the recent New Hampshire Legislature to disprove the protest of Mr. John Wilson, late Commissioner of the General Land Office, that Know Nothingism is not proscriptive. The Union also contains an anti-Know Nothing letter from the pen of the Hon. Philip Phillps, who represented the Mobile (Ala.) district in the last United States House of Representa- tives—for a copy of which, by-the-by, we are indebted to that gentleman—wherein it is shown that the grand purpose of the new party is Catholic proscription. The Union zlso further comments on the marriage be- tween Know Nothingism and Abolitionism in rg a aad Northern cities and places were never 80 prosperous as when thronged with Southern visitors. visitors, in the main, they must prepare them- selves to lose.’’ Mr. Cluskey is 2 na- poeta Kansas.—The following is the substance of the platform adopted in the Lexington (Mo.)

We care not wat misrepresentations of the conduct of the Missourians the anti-slavery press may put forth, the country, everywhere, will, sooner or later, come to understand that the Mis- scurians are merely contending, like true- hearted men, to prevent the consummation of the schemes of the Abolitionists to reb them of the 50.000 slaves in the eighteen counties of the State bordering on Kansas, using Kansas as the means of so doing. their treatment of Gov more especially because his record as a public man disproves, in our belief, their allegation of sympathy with abolitionism.

A Defect in the Law.—The Court of Claims, yesterday, found itselfin a quandary. Judge Gilchrist was too unwell to appear in his seat, and on examination into the details of thelaw under which it exists, it was found that no provision hud been made by which two of the jedges could sit and transact business in the absence of the third. So the two present did not even take their seats, but caused the Mai- shal to adjourn the court until to-day, by pro- To-day, if Judge Gilchrist is euf- ficiently reeevered to be present, the court will adjourn over until October; by which time, it isto be presumed, that some hall, in the way of a permanent court-room, within the Capitol, as the law provides, will be ar- ranged for the accommodation of this tribunal; as after October the Supreme court-room, in which its sessions are now held, will be re- quired for the Supreme Court. The law is equally defective, by-the-by, in designating the Capitol building as the place in which the Claims Court must mect, as it is so inconve. niently located for its business, which has reference to matters wherein much of the tes- timony consists of papers of record in the va- rious Executive Departments. Congress will, doubtless, change these two features of the law as soon as they come together; the latter more especially, because they cannot cenveniently give up any portion of the Capitol to this court, at least until the extension of the building may be completed well toits arms. ‘The members of Osage Tribe No.6, 1.O.R.M., are to attend a meeting of the Tribe at their Wigwam on MONDAY EVENING, the 23d instant, at 7 o'clock, ax business of the utmost importance wii be brought before them for consideration.

What is still called “Whig”’ in New York is simply the wing of Mr. Seward’s followers who have so far kept out of Know Nothing Lodges. A large wing went into the lodges, and came out of them only to go into the Know Something, or new Republican—party lod ges. The Silver Greys, or Fillmorites, are nearly to a man Know Nothings, and support the Philadelphia Platform. In that party is also a iarge wing of the Hard Democrats.

The Prets.—The friends of Lord Raglan at. give satisfaction tribute his death, for the most part, to the comments of the press upon his conduct of Eng- land’s share of the Crimean campaign, gen- erating a condition of nervous excitability in his system, which deprived him of life when dysentery came to its aid. They are essaying to get up popularsympathy against the license with which the English newspapers and pe- riodicals are discussing the Government's re- sponsibility for the disasters of the campaign, and with reference to each prominent officer’s share of the censure, which is deserved some- where. We apprehend that their labor will be in vain, as the people of England, whose organ the press is, are destined to increase rather than to lose any portion of the liberty, rights, and co-equality of privileges they now enjoy. It happens that the privileged classes, who are altogether chargeable with the unfortunate turn the affairs of Britain have taken in the Crimea, know at least by this time that it is impossible to hide from the masses the fact that they—in the Cabinet and on the field—are the sole authors of England’s shame. This knowledge, on their part, can- not fail to paralyze any efforts that they might possibly otherwise be able to make, to con- tinue for their own benefit the civil and mili tary systems of the realm, which have, togeth- er, in this case, proved so inefficient for the protection of the interests and honor of the Bookstore, 7th st., 0) St CARD.—The attention of Car, ers, Dealers in Lumber and to purchase Lumber is respectfull sale which will take place at 3 o'clock Monday, the 23d instant, at the Lumber the corner of 6th street, near Pennsylvania ave- nue, immediately in the rear of our store GREEN & SCOTT, Tue CHOLERA BerorE SeBastorot.—The London Morning Advertiser, of the 6th inst., ‘Private letters were received in town Jast night. which state that the cholera and diarrhees are carrying off imwense numbers of our officers and men in the Crimes.”’ PERSONAL. ol.
