I ——— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Wholesale Falsification.—If those who in- dalge in such practices could be made to blush by what would make an honest-hearted map flee his country, the rebuke which Barringer has accorded to Rayner would be apt to put a stop to the wholesale manufacture of slanders on the President, the Cabinet, and the Catho- lies, which, just now, make all the staple of Know Nothing argument. The Buffalo Com- mercial Advertiser, emphatically an “‘al!-the- decency’ paper not long since, is quite as mendacious and a little more adroit than Rayner way, inits efforts in the same line; as it takes care to avoid referring to partieular individuals as having been guilty of the enor- mities it charges on the bishops, priests, and members of the Catholic church. It invents a story, (based, evidently, on the statements of Rayner, which Barringer pronounces false,) pretending to give an account of incidents in the last Presidential election, in Pennsylva- nia, wherein the bishops, clergymen. and members of the Catholic church are represent- ed to have entered into a conspiracy to defeat General Scott, which it says they carried out by secretly voting against him to a man—Cath- olies from the border countics of New York going over and voting in Pennsylvania! Now, the truth is, and the Bpffalo Silver Grey organ knew it well, the treachery which Scott expe- rienced came from the immediate coterie of that journal, and all they could contro!. All versed in polities are aware that the Silver Greys played falee to Scott, and that from that day to this, because they did so, the dominant (Scott) wing of the Whig party throughout New York will have nothing to do with them. It puts the boot of secret plotting to bring about the defeat of Seott on the pait of persons professing to be his friends, on the wrong leg, as it fits its own better than that of any other. The Catholics voted as all others do, as individuals, choosing for themselves; and they were, for the most part, sensible enough to vote for no one who might be ac- cused of being even remotely under Silver Grey influence, which will sell its soul at any time for thirty pieces of silver, and stood ready to Larter adhesion to proscription of the Catho- des, for a chance for power, as the result proves. The Catholic people, who age as tenacious of their rights guaranteed in our constitution and laws as it becomes freemen to be, did not re- quire the interference of their clergy to in- duce them to do so, and all stories setting forth any plot or plots to that end or apy such combination whatever, are simply barefaced falsehoods, destitute, utterly destitute of foun- dation in truth. But come how or other the Concoctors of such mar:s’ nests always manage to overshoot their mark, and thus @Xpuse them- selves, as in this instance, in the following clause which we find in the article on which we are commenting : “He [Judge Camphell, Postmaster General} was then sent toa Jesuit institution, educated in their scholastic as well as their social tengts and came out a finished lay disciple of tat academus, the walle of which are blazooned with such mottces as ‘The end justifies the means,” ‘ Do evil that may follow,’ ‘ Men- tal reeervations are to be practised in comiau- eae with the heretic,’ and the moral teach- Now, if the editor of the Buffalo Commer- etal Advertiser will bring proof that such Mottoes areon the walls of any Jesuit or other Catholic College in the United States, or have ever been on them, we will take all the rest of his numerous falsehoods in the article, for truth, But the fact is. he quotes, as itscriptions on the walls of Catholic colleges in the United States, the very mottoes on which the Know Nothing principle and practice is founded, as avowed by its leaders and teachers, many of whom justify themselves in ineuleating peni- tentiary morslity to their followers, on the plea that it is necessary to fight the devil with fire—to use against the Catholics the weapons, for using which, they say the Catholics should be made, by iaw, a proscribed and fnferior class in this country. Their notorious Practice on on the dishonorable and dishonest mottoes, falsely charged above as being posted on the walls of Catholic colleges, it is, which in a great measure induces the well informed, hon- on an and st a portion of the Amer- ican publie to look upon Know Nothingism as the moral leprosy of the age. . As for the portion of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser’s stories which have reference to the Postmaster General persepally, they are, one and all, so notoriously false as to be un- worthy of notice. We can attribute them to no other caute than a desire to weaken the contrast bet i and efficiency of Judge Campbell’é ad ration of his trust, and the notorions habit of Postmaster General Hall in bartering the interests com- mitted to his charge (as Postmaster General) for temporary favor for Silver Greyism. During nearly all the time Hall held the office. it was notorious among the members of Congress that he was baying and selling in the discharge of his duty; the purchased commodity being Promises of affection for Silver Greyism, (the quintessence of corruption in American public affairs,) the price paid being office under the Post Office ent here and everywhere else, special cofttracts, extra allowances, &c. Fillibusteriug Journals.—The New York Sun isa very capital sort of a paper, though it has a habit of defending and glorifying ev- ery conceivable scheme of piracy on land. We are expecting daily to find inits columns warm argumentsin favor of the entire propriety of the slave trade, notwithstanding its late freo- soil proclivities. The truth is, it is so bitten with the Cuba fillibustering mania, as that it cannot distinguish wrong from right in connec- tion with anything in the shape of an effort on the part of North Americans to appropriate Jands, the property of others, without as much assaying, by your leave, sirs. This tendency on its part is exceedingly unfortunate, as it, conductors will realize if they live to grow much older The Eveving Post, too, that, not long since, wes denouncing Walker—of expedition fame— asa ro ber and pirate, is now the chief de- fender and glorifier of the Kinney expedition. Wherein do they differ? For the lifeand soul of us, if they differ in a single element or partic- ular, we cannot discover in what. Walker's exploits in Central America are now weil known to be precisely like those which ren- dered bis name famous (or rather infamous) in Mexico. He robbed, plundered, and wurder- ed both sexes, all ages, and burned some houses, and under cover of the smoke of the firo of them, he stole a schvoner and escaped— ren away! Ifthe pet of the Evening Post, the Kinney expedition, numbering some nine- teen similar customers, all told, succeed in getting to Central America, the probability is that they will be hung before they can get an opportunity to play Walker's game; as we know that ample preparations have been made at San Juan del Norte, and, indeed, all along the coast in that quarter, to give them just the reception which it would have been well for the canse of humanity if it had been accorded to Walker and his companions the instant they set foot on the west coast of Nicaragua. We fancy that no right-principled man in this country, who is aware of the conduct of those pirates there, does not regrot that they were not “strung up’’ within half an hour after they landed. Very Curious Disclosures—There is much conyersation in diplomatic circles here, in re- spect to certain recent semi-official publica tions in the French Montteur, disclosing the views and plans of the Count de Vergennes. It seems that, so long ago as at the period of our Revolutionary war, there was entertained in France great jealousy of the progress of Russia on the side of the Back Sea. That was before the Russians had driven the Turke out of the Crimea, and re-annexed that penisula to the Muscovite Empire. At that time Eng- jand held back, and France was unwilling or unable to act alone against Russia. We have come across an item of old American diplomatic history, which is calculated to breed reflection. While Mr. Jay was at Paris with Dr. Frank- lin and Mr. Adams, regulating the treaty by which Great Britain acknowledged the inde- pendence of the United States, he wrote to Gouverneur Morris, under date of September 24, 1783, from which we extract the following very remarkable expressions : “You have heard thet the Ottoman and Russian empires are on the point of unsheath- ing the sword. The objects of the contest are more easy to discern than the issue; but iz Russia should extend her navigation to Con- Stantinople, we may be the better for it. That cireumstance is an additional motive to our forming a treaty of commerce with her. * * But, whatever we have to do abroad, it is of littte consequence when compared to what we have to do at heme. I am perfectly convinced that no time is to be lost in raising and main taining « national spirit in America.”* Some people may think that what Mr Jay considered good doctrme in 1783, may not be bad in 1855, whether as applied to the foreign or domestic interests of the United States. Way Lettere.—Persons who are in the habit of sending their letters to depots rather than to post offices, to be mailed, run the risk of a delay of at least a trip in their arrival at their destination. The route agent's duty is to assort aud wail, while the train isin motion, the letters reaching the post office after the regular mail bags aro closed. These, on in- portant routes not unfrequently number so many as to leave him little time to mail those that may be dropped in the pouch at the cars. He is then obliged to deliver such letters ai the post office at the end of his route, where, the chance is, they are not received in time to send them forward by the mails by which they are designed to be sent. The Post Office De- partment is abused roundly for’ the detention of thousands of letters growing out of the in- crease of the habit of unnecessarily omitting to post them in regular post offices, and then rushing them in haste to the cars as they are about to start. Gutta Percha—A board of United States Cavalry officers, consisting of Colonels Sumner and Jobnson, and Lieutenant Colonels Johnson and Hardee, recently in session at the War Department in this city, have reported in favor of equipping the men of their arm of the ser- vice with a talma made of Gutta Percha, reach- ing down t+ the knee. This is, it etrikes us, following the very sensible custom of the Texus Rangers, who cannot be persuaded to carry overcoats in any weather. They make a slit in the blanket, (Mexican, or American when they cannot procure the former.) and slipping it over the head, ride in it in stormy weather with the euds hanging to or about the knees. The talma, though a lighter coat, is a covering cut on the same principle ; and while, if mage of Gutta Percha, it is a positive insurance against wet er cold upon the body, it permits just as tnnch circulation of air around the per- son as the wearcr pleases, and also leaves the arms perfectly at liberty. The proposed change cannot fail to be a eapital one, and the troop: will, with one accord, thank their officers for bringing it about. The Washington Territory Boundary Dis. ‘pute. We understand that the President wil! ‘urge on Congress to provide, immediately af- |: ter they come together, the means of making thesurvey, on our part, necessary to establish, script of Wednesday. beyond future cavil, the boundary between our territory of Washington and that of Van- couver’s island, and the rest of the possessions of the British Hudson's Bay Company lying contiguous to the territory in question. The House, last session, passed a bill to that end, which was defeated in the Senate. Receatly, the diffichities growing cut of misunderstand- ings between the people and authorities of the two Governments, in that quarter, with referenée to the precise locality of that boun- dary, have increased 80 as to be most harrass- ing and perplexing,to both—thus proving the préssing necessity for the survey the Senate tefused to order to be made. Itis sincerely to be hoped that. Congress will promptly legislate in this matter, and thus prevent the recur- renee of international biekerings in that quar- ter, that can do no good and may be produc- tive of much harm. A Roorback.—The story of the Washington correspondent of the New York Hera/d, tell- ing of the acceptance, at that point, of a des- patch from Mr. Buchanan, recounting the particulars of an extraordinary visit to that gentleman of Lord Palmerston, and the lat- ter’s desire to make confidential and unofficial disclosures to him on some unknown subject of great interest to the United States, is utterly without foundation. The story of the visit in question originated in the brain of some one of Kossuth’s men in London who wrote it toa sympathizer hore, by whom it was dressed up in its present habiliments to suit the wonder- mongering taste of the Herald's readers. Such is its true history. The California Mails.—Our correspondent: ia San Francisco, who have complained that they are unable to answer leiters by the first eturn-steamer—the schedule being arranged for the departuxe of the downward steamer on the Ist and 16th of the month, often bofore the arrival of the Atlantic mails—wi!l he pleased io learn that this inconvenience is hereafter to be obviated by a change of the days of depar- ture from San Francisco to the 5th and 20th of each month, which are the days of departure of the California mails from New York. When the 5th and 20th fall on Sanday the mails will leave the day following. A Mistake.—‘ Ion,” the Baltimore Sun's Washington correspondent, usually well-in- formed in such matters, has been misled by the person to whom he is indebted for the in- formation on which he based the paragraph in his letter of this morning “The post of Commissioner of the Land Q:- e has been offered to a suitable porson and leclined.** We have sitisfied ourself that no such offer has been made vllowing é fic Appointed.—Mr. Francis M: Deems has been appointed (to undergo the custumary examination first) to a temporary ($1,200 per annum) clerkship in the General Land Oftice.

Had the Her- ald’s correspondent at this place been posted up ie would have made an exception of Old Point, for never before has the establishiner: had such a crowd as have been here since about the tt of July; aud a more fashionable and finer set of people I have never seen together at any one watering place; I will not even except Cape May in its glory. There are a few families here that have come from Cape May and other places, and daily new names and new faces rom all parts of the South are added to the already Jarge company. The house is exceed- ingly well oe t, and the table is better by far than that of the United States Hotel at Saza- toga, which heretofore has had the repuia- tion of having the best at any watering places The frigate Potomac, Capt. Paulding’s flag- ship, has been towed down from Norfolk, and now lies anchored off in full view. There are a large number of the officers of the ucw regiment quartered hero, and their bright uniform (for they all dance) of an even- ing adds much to the brilliarey of the ball room. ‘There isa parade in the fort morning and evening, and this attracts crowds, partic. ularly when the new drill is being gone through. The niost sedate faces have to relax ata sight of this grotesque performance. This exercise—new only in this country—is borrow sd from the French. Major Garnett seems to be the professor in this particular branch. Col, Wright, who is in command of the new .egiment quartered here, is very popular, and has by his gentlemanly demeanor won tho es- teem, I can safely say, of all civilians. The new Government wharf now in course of construction under the dircetion of Col. Sinith, will be, when finished, a very complete aud substantial structure, and what has long been wanted. It is surprising that there has aut been better tacilifles for landing long be- (ore this at a post where so much money has veen expended in fortifications. Another thing has been lost sight of: What would this ~ stronghold’’ do in case of a warand it should ho beseized. There is not enough water to supply even the few that are now quartered here. The complement of men to man this post is five thousand. There was, some since, an artesian well commenced, aud, vose, want of funds is the cause of its not ‘ing completed.
