Give us a call. —- = SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union replies to the jeremaids of the New York Evening Post over Judge Kane’s decision inthe Wheeler slave-stealing case ‘The point essayed to be made by the Pose, is that it virtually affirms the supremacy of the slave-holding States throughout the north— that it makes such of their laws as bear on slavery operative in Pennsylvania, over and against the will of the people of that Common- wealth. Of course the Post holds that the act of taking slaves tx transitu into Pennsyl- vania makes them free, and quotes Goodell and Wheeler's compilations (garblings) of law, to show that such have been the decisions of the courts of Louisiana. The Union's point isto diseredit the quotations in question; which it does by giving the portions omitted by Good- ell and Wheeler, because they show that in the cases referred to, the question was with refer- ence only to slaves taken to non-slaveholding States to reside; not tn transitu. The Union shows conclusively to our mind, at least, that the law, as it interprets it, has always been the settled law of the land. The Intelligencer deprecates the *‘ mis- chievious idea of legislative retaliation.”’ ‘That is, of legislation on the part of the slave- holding States, in retaliation for the nullifying acts, &c., of Northern State Legislatures in Violation of their obligations under the Con- stitution of the United States with reference to slavery. The editor thinks that the South can only embarrass and injure itself by any such action on its part. With due respect for our cotemporary of the Intelligencer, we ask leave to say that its syren song. in this connection, while it has utterly failed to influence the South, has long encouraged the Abolitionists in their unconstitutional and revolutionary conduct. We never read in its columns an apelegy, direct or indirect, for Abolitionists and Abolitionism without more regret than Wecan express; as we sincerely believe that the weight of its character is doing incaleula- ble mischief in the way of keeping up the prevalent impression at the North that the South may be relied on to stand, patiently, any changes in the Government of the United S. tes. that Abolitionism may fancy to under- take with the view of the administration of its (the Government's) affairs according to the pe- culiar constitutional readings of Messrs. Sew- ard, Chase, Hale, Sumner, Wilson & Co. PERSONAL. ++++Mr. Harris, U. S. Consul at Ningpo, is at Willard’s, and Hon. A. Rencher and fami- ly, of North Carolina, and Rev. J.

A resident of Norfolk, Va., who is evidently in a very perturbed state of mind, indeed. with reference to the fever, writes to his friend in this city as follows: “ Norvrouk, July 30, 1855. “The yellow fever is raging to an alarming extent here, and in Barry’s Row, I expect, there are present upwards of fifty cases One doctor says he has fifteen cases under his treat- ment wo died last night. The Catholic priest says he can show plenty of cases. | understand he has offered, that if they would at a hospital, he would, with the Sisters of harity, attend to them. I understand they are trying todo something in that way. The people are very much alarmed.

Col. Wheeler and the Fillibusters—The Journal of Commerce ie correct in refusing to credit the silly story of some one in Granada (Central America) accusing Col. John H. Wheeler, U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, of sympathy with the late Walker expedition. We know from free conversations with that gentleman, whom we know as college mates know each other, that no one in the public service is more gnxjous than he is for the en- tire triumph of the policy of his government with reference to fillibustering. If Brissot and Hornsby, who were killed in the last fight of the Walker cxpedition, were inclined to fillibuster when they became members of his suite, the Journal of Commerce may rely on it, they took good care to keep the fact from his knowledge; otherwise he would not have touched them with a fifty foot pole. Men like B. and H.—American adventurers in Spanish American countries—are the most spe- cious customers in the world. They are the men of all others to deceive ahizh minded, frank and generous gentleman like Col. Wheel- er, who suspects no one, until after experience, in his want of character. Boundary Line between the States of Ala- bama and Florida.—Some thirty years ago, General Coffee, in executing surveys in Ale- bama, adopted a line as the boundary between Alabama and Florida, and, subsequently, the public surveys in Florida were closed upon it accordingly. By an act of Congress, in 1831, it was made the duty of the United States Sur- veyor General of Florida to run the line on the thirty-first parallel of latitude. What is known as Whitner’s or Ellicott’s is now held to be the true boundary between those States. About a year ago, a contract was made by the Surveyor General of Florida with S. J. Perry, United States Deputy, for the survey and con- nection of the public surveys on the Florida side. Complete returns of these surveys have just been received at the General Land Office, and from them it appears that some one hun- dred and sixty sections of public lands, which, according to Coffee’s line, fell within the lim- its of Florida, are now ascertained to be in the State of Alabama. a learn that such of these lands as have not already been disposed of will soon be brought into market. Defects in the Laws.—In the laws of the last Congress dividing Ohio and Illinois each into two United States judicial districts, it was neglected to provide where persons should be confined who are convicted’ by United States courts of penitentiary offences, there being no penitentiaries within the limits of either of the new districts made in the two States named above. Under these circumstances the new courts find themselves unable to carry out the laws in such (penitentiary) cases. In Chicago a criminal has heen convieted who must legal- ly be confined in a penitentiary, but he cannot be sentenced fir the reason set forth above. The United States court sitting recently in Clersland, Olio, has adjourned, in order to avoid the trial of such eases which are on the dock«t, which cannot be disposed of until after Co 2 shall amead the laws in question without getting it (the court) into a similar dilemma. Islands in the Mississippi, in Minnesota Territory. —In the case of a call for the sur- vey of certain islands in the Mississippi falling within the territorial limits of Minnesota, the General Land Office has directed that applica- tion be made to the Surveyor Generai at Du- buque, Iowa, who has been authorized to sur- vey all the islands in his surveying district, except such as are very small and not yalua- ble for their timber or agricultaral purposes The latter, however, may be surveyed by the United States deputy surveyors at the expense of applicants forthe survey, who have to run the risk of becoming the purchasers thereof at the time of sale, their applications for the sur- vey, and the payment for that service eon- ferring on them no advantage whatever over other persons at the time of the sale of the islands The Fever at Gosport, Va.—We understand that the recent application from the authori- ties of Portsinouth, Va., for the use of the Naval Hospital of the Norfolk station in which to place aud treat the patients suffering under the fever now raging in the Gosport Ward (of Portsmouth.) were promptly answered affirma- tively by the Navy Department. All the ex- penses of the arrangement are, of course, to be borne by the town and its citizens. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, the 3istof July, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the Treasury Department. $1.050 00 For the Interivr Department..... 675 00 War Warrants received and en- tered ..ereccscessecsececeseeve I24,811 80 War repay warrants received and entered. 62.115 69 Interior Warrau Ce errr reer 108.285 93 Covered in trom mis SOUTCES ce seescecees 16 05 On account of the Navy. + 73,110 73 Earthquakes. —The following circular has been distributed by the Smithsonian Institu- tion in reference to the recent earthquake at Baltimore : The Smithsonian institution is desirous of collecting information in reference to all phe nomena having a bearing ou the physical geog raphy of th and, in behalf of the Board of Regents, it is res ctfully requested that you will furnish us with any information you may pe , or be able to obtain, in re- gard to the EArtuQUAKE Which lately occurred in your neighborhood. rd will be interesting to determine the geo graphical limits of the disturbance, and to as certain whether it was confined to any partic lar geological formation. If the direction of the shock were ubserved at a few places, the centre of commotion could be determined ; and if the time were accurately known at dif- ferent points, the velocity of the earth-wave could be calculated. An answer is requested to the following questions, viz : 1. Was the agitation felt by yourself, or by any other person in your vicinity ? 2. What wes the approximate time of the oceurrence ? 3. What was the number, and duration of the shocks? 4. What was the direction of the motion? 5 What was the character of the disturb- ance’—was it perpendicular or longitudi- nal’—was it an actual oscillation ?—an up- heaval and depression—or a mere tremor? 6. Was there any noise heard? and if so, what was its character? 7. Was the place of observation on soft ground, or on a hard foundation near the un- derlying rocks of the district ? 8. Were any facts observed having appa- rently an immediate or remote bearing on this phenomenon’ 9. What was the intensity of the force in reference to producing motion in bodies and cracks in walls’ = Notg.—Please reply to the first question, if to no other—for an answer to it is necessary, in order to determine the limits of commotion. The direction of the impulse might have been as:ertained- by observing the direction in which molasses, or any viscid liquid, was thrown up t the side of a bowl. The remains of the liquid on the side of a vessel would indicate the direction some time after the shock occurred. ro Governor Reener.—A despatch from St. Louis, dated July 30, states that Gov. Reeder, of Kansas, has published a copy of his answer to Secretary Marcy’s last letter. He says, in relation to the charge of having purchased latf-breed Kansas lands, that he has purchased no such lands. He thinks he has been treated very unfairly, because the President has called upon him for his defence, against charges of violating rules which are not specified, and -asks for their specification.
