The Union discusses the rape of the Wash- ‘ington Monument, saying. in the course of its remarks : ** The process by which they claim to have oe the control of the work to their own ase uses was so shameful and so reckless, so illegal and so violent. as to be -alone sufficient to cover the authors of, and the actors in, the usurpation with eternal opprobrium. In the dark recesses of their seeret lodges, they con- ceeted the plot which has excited a Sie Ge contempt against them, amd has already duced a train of disasters to the enim abe s project which has enlisted so much interest among the American people. Without not save that which was so brief as to bafile tempts to -heck-mate their scheme, even it its full extent had been known, these abandoned demagngues proceeded to hold a Know Nothing election for Sisectars of the Washington Mon- wment—an clection by themselves, at which bo votes were polled but these thrown by the order, and no ticket supported but that made up in their lodges. Our citizens who saw thi< mock election going on could not imagine what it meant till the result was announced, amid the fiendish rejoicings of the so-called victors. In harmonious sympathy with the yillanies and violence that have marked the reign of this oath-bound conspiracy, they hud pre- viously secretly tampered with two of the offi- cers of the regularly-constituted board of managers of the Washington Monument; and when they were denied possession of the pre- mises they resorted to force, took session of the books, and drove ut the regular agents of the legal organization. And net only were all these outrages carried into effect, but the Know Nothings managed to induce one or the agents of the regular board, whom they had eeduced into their plot, tu insert a false entry upon the record: of the board, so as to give color to the subsequent fraud! The result is that the whole matter has becowe a subject for jadicial investigation.” Of those ousted from the management of the affairs of the montment society as compared with those fraudulently put in their places the editor says = Congrese. that must have responded tothe call of euch patriots as Winfield Scot and Arebibald Henderson—of such echolars as Pe- ter Force and Lieutenant Maury—of such pub- Vie-spirited citizens a« W.

We should be «iow to believe that M. Drouyn de I'Huys, one of the ablest minis- ters France ever had, could have lent himself to any premeditated gn of Austria to de- ceive the Allies, even if the court of Vienna could be supposed capable of duplicity in the conferences: and yet his dismissal by the French Emperor would -eem to give couste- nance ty such an infereuce. It is evident, we think, that the Austrian representative at the conferences, au‘! those of France aud England did not understand cach other. They could not all have been satisfied with the avowed policy of Austria if they had known that it would lead to the reduction of her army and her implied abandonment of the cause of the Allies. There has been a mistake. a misun- derstanding somewhere, and we shali refrain frow attempting any comments upon it while the statements in regard to it. though seeming te come from official sources, are so much at Variance.’ Petxam.—We are indebted ts Taylor & Maury for the August number of Putnam's Magyzine, containing many capital articles. besides the usual erudite and interesting lit- erary reviews for which the publication enjoy: eo high acharacter.

GA Treatise upon Serofuloux Diseases has jast been published by Dr. J. B Wright, of New York city. The doctor contends that scrofula can be as readily cured 2s any other disease, if properly managed; and further that consumption is but one of the many forms of this bydra-headed monster. We notice he cites a good deal of testimony, taken from his own practice, to fully substantiate his asser- tions, amongst which are some of the most re- spectable names in the great metropolis of the Union. The doctor asserts that consumption being « ccrotulous disease can be cured even after all hope has been abandoned, and is ready to prove the fact to all who may call upon him or bis agents.

Besotted Fanaticism.—The besotted fanati- cism of New England was never better illus- trated than in the ourrent tirades of the press of that country against the recent action of the Kansas Legislature in adopting as the ini- tiatory system of laws for the Territory, the statute laws in force at this time in Missouri. The fact is made the groundwork of a plea that the Legislature of the Territory is doing all sorts of high-hended, outrageous, and here- tofore unheard-of things in that particular connection. Now, the truth is, nothing is more necessary and common in such cases than precisely such action. Congress, usually, in commencing to form laws to govern new United States Terri- tories, adopts the existing laws of a State Lying adjacent to it, or from which it is separattd by the admission of the State into the Union. When Congress, by a pressure of business, or from any other cause, fails so to do, the rep- resentatives of the people thereof, assembled in a Legislature, must do so, or leave their con- stituents in a state of anarchy for months, if not years; as it would be impossible to frame a suitable set of laws for any people, ome by one, ab initio; under, it may be, years of legis- lution on details. Nought else so suit a peo- ple as a starting point of law, as the laws un- der which the most of them have been accus- tomed to living, which in all cases are at Teast sufficientiy applicable to their ciretmstances to serve ase starting point from which to im- prove on them to meet the particular wants and emergencies of the people of the Territory. In the case of Minnesota, Congress, in 1 sin- gle clause of a single bill, adopted the laws of tate of Wisconsia as the organic law, as it for the government of the people of the Territory. Marylana, on becoming a State of this confederacy, also in a single clause of an act adopted all of her then existing laws that were applicable to her changed condition, as well 1s the common law of England. Ka:sas, as the manner in which it has been settled proves. is the child of Missouri and Kentucky—more than half its citizens going into the Territory from those States, the former ug on its border. The reader of common will comprehen t from what we haye written above, that the selection of the legal system of Missouri is just what-might bave been expected, and what, under all the cir- cumstances, her people judge best for them- selves. As for the idea of leaving the laws for the present government of the Territory to be agreed on one by one, while our people are as disputatious as they are everywhere, it is preposterous—as to de so would probably make it impossible, for years to come, even to adju- dicate a dispute concerning a simple bill of exebange Australia —The following letter, which is from an United States Government agent - gives much interesting information the status of a portion of Australia, and is later in its date than any other similar information we have seen in the newspapers of the day ConsuLate or THE U S., Mexrovrne, (Australia,) April 9, 1855.

Zinc Paint.—It scems. from eundry article: in late nerthern papers, that ship owners and builders in that quarter axe beginning to com- prehend the value of zine paint for covering the bottoms of sea-going vessels, ag made manifest by the results of the many and care- ful experiments of officers of the government at the Norfolk navy yard. We have once or twice made allus to these experiments and their results, and now take uccasion to say that it will be time and money well spent for those heavily engaged in ship building, to visit the Navy Departunent in this city, where they will find specimens of the effect of the sea worm ou a considerable number of prepara- tions to protect the sides and bottoms of ships from the ravages of the worm. The grand re- sult of these experiments, which extended over # series of years, and embraced every- thing conceived of in the United States likely to aid in the work of the discovery of a pallia- tive, if not of an entire preventive for the rav- ages of the arch enemy of the ship owner. turns out to be zine paint only. It was found that, though seme woods stood the ravage> of the worm much longer than others, aml though there was much difference in the way in which the worms attacked dif- ferent metals—tfastened themselves on them— whatever was cuated with this particular paint was in all cases untouched by the worms; though if any portion of the wood coated with itavas left exposed without the paint, it was as surely to be found there. az on or in any- thing else. The discovery resulting from these experiments is a matter of more importance te the navigation interest of the country. than any other improvementin the art of ship build- ing that has been accomplished formany years; as it embraces, when properly applied, a per- fect insurance against damage to the hulls of shipping from the sea worm, which, up to this time. is the great cause of the deterioration of the value of ships Fossate Spoonbills.—Two living specimens vf this beautiful and singular bird have just arrived at the Smithsonian Institution, where they are attracting much attention. They were sent from Florlda. It is found for the mosi part along the mouths of rivers, ponds, or sea istands, particularly in Florida. It is rare te inect with fewer than half a dozen together, and their movements are deeeribed by Audu- bon, the distinguished naturalist, as exceed- ingly benutiful.

The following letter explains this matter fully : Porrsmovra, Va., We have the yellow fever and for fear that you may July 24, 1855. here at present, hear exaggerated accounts of it. I will try to give you a trae statement. About six or eight weeks ago, or perhaps a longer time, the steamer Ben Frank- lin. from some one of the West India ports, put in here in distress for repairs. The health officers went on board, found no case of sick- ness, but thought it best to quarantine her for a short time, ¢. ¢., twelve days; when she was violated his pledges, and the consequence was that nearly every one that went below to work were soon taken sick, with what turned out to be the yellow fever—the most of them being northeruers, boarding in Gosport. Being de- tected in the first case as the yellow jack, s2n- itory measures were taken, which confined it entirely to that location: only two enses (so far) occurring out of Gosport proper. We hove had, in all, avcording to the physician’ s report, about twenty-six cases; of which eight have died. We have had quite a panic here con- cerning it—lots of tar barrels burning, throw- ing lime in the streets, fencing in Gosport, wearing camphor and asafeetida about our clothes, and, in fact, a general use of all disin- fecting agents. But, aside from all this, it i: playing the vory deuce with business. The town is nearly deserted; about two-thirls of the men in the navy- yard having taken their discharge, and left for parts best known to themselves. Every man, woman, and child that could raise a hair trunk has packed ‘t, and left us alone—not in our glory, but to bury the dead, I suppose, should there be any. The deaths, from that and all other ‘igeases together, do not average one in three days. The fact is, it being something new here, the timid had to make known their ap- preciation of it by raising a little excitement. and taking a holiday trip. The disease has had its sway. There is no new cases reported, and those that were sick are getting better. I never yet felt any fear, ner do I think there was any necessity “for the extreme penic that Was raised a day or two ago.
