EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: _ SATURDAY AFTERNOON......gugust 4. THE WEEKLY sTAR, For the present week, is a capital number, being filled with accounts of the most interest- | ing events of the dsy, both domestic and foreign, together with short tales, anecdotes, 4c. Terms, $1.25 per annum, or three cents the single number. ————-- SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PREss. The Intelligencer, divcussiog the pestiferous effects of the labor of demagogues and specious, selfish and ignorant advocates of change for the sake of change only, says: “‘Self-interest, opem or disguised, is the moving impulse of all humen action, whether in individuals or communities ; but it is not every individual, nor, in a government like ours, every separate community, that can un- de what would most surely promote its own interest. An ingenious de: e, who lives by popular excitement and who knows how to season his harangues with ‘the whole- sale swindling of rhetoric,’ may sueceed for a time in charming the ears of the groundling and in se confounding the distinctions between right aud wrong as to make either appear the er, as may best suit his momentary pur- pose; but the time for reflection must come, when reason will resume its sway. Then will the multitude everywhere listen to the calm and sober arguments of the statesman and pa- triot, whose wisdom has been gathered from history and experience, and who, seeing the nstmrs! ec ruences of every great ‘itcat movement, is able to point out at a tmay be safely pursed and what had best be avoided. He knows that the interest and happiness of him: if and family are so inti- mately connected and blexded with the inter- est aud happiness of all, that nothing whieh is destruetive of the one can lead to the ad- Yancemeat of the other. His advice, there- fore, though it may proceed from the motive common to human nature, may be irusted, because, along with his own interest, we know it has been the result of a thorough consideration of that of the many. It is ene of the grcet objections to the progressive sprit that it has raised up so many pseu- do-reformers, who taking advantage of the exeitements insepers ble from the rapidity of modern discoveries in the arts and sciences, assect the poxsibility of equal improvement in those branches of humaa knowledge which aré founded upon immutable and eternal Truth. ‘They are for reforming religion ftself, for throwing aside all revelation but that which is daily wade to themselves, by a series of mystifications of which they pretend to be the chosen apostles and expounders. They seize upon = popular idea, and. retaining its xame, £ive ita meening utterly at variance wit’ the ginal impression. Thus, for example, it is orite idea with the citizens of the United es that man is capable of self-government. There pretended mystical reformers, but in reality interested factionists, carry this doc- trine t» the extent of maintaining that all laws are an usurpation upon the rights of individ- that every man should be a law to him- this tary arrogantly deelar® to be of the ator. Isit wonderful that aded individuals should be found in ion of this prosperuas ec: try ready a doctrine so flattering to their Own self importance? Our Constitution teach- esusa very different lesson. Under that. soverciznity belongs to the whole, not to the individu We have still faith enough in that sovereizuity to believe that it will be pow- erful enough to put down all partial competi- tors.’” The Union expa'iates on the different phases in whieh Know Nothingism presents itself in different sections of the Union—in New Eng- Jand, Louisiana, Ohio, New York, Ponnsylya- nia, aud e'sewhere; holding doctrines in one fection as it does, dire-tly antagonistic to those it holds in the other section The Union also rejoices over the prospect of union cf the so loug divided Democracy of New York. * PERSONAL. «+++ Santa Anna, it is reported, has lately urchased a considerable amount of real estate in the city of New York, including a magnifi- cent private residence in the upper portion of that commercis! metropo. ++-«JSudge Cotton, of Mississippi, has an- nounced his reuanciation of Know Nothingism, sud withdrawn from the canvass of the State Benate. +++» Besides the 1,500 Germans coliected near Sandgate, England, there are also about 1,500 Swiss at Dover—so that the foreign le- ion Lew musters a force of 2,500 men ina very respectable state of discipline. ++++ Licut.

The particulars of the explosion of Garesche’s Powder Works (mention of which was made in our telegraphic column, yesterday.) have been received. The drying house of the establish- ment, which is located in Eden Park, was blown up, as is supposed, through the careless- ress u. 2 Workman. The house contained about one and a half tons of powder, and the explosion aud concussion resulling were tre- meudous. The house had been in operation for about forty years without an accident, and was considered the safest house at the works. All counectod with its operations were killed, atonce. They were blown to atoms, and their remains were {ound at various distauces—from forty to two hundred yards from the house. Taree of the workmen were Frenchmen, named Eugene Po: . Joseph Du Pearce and Francis Fisier. A bey named Jobn Pugh was also em- ployed in the howse at the time—all were killed. orion of the dry-house caused a d *bout three Lundred yards dis- Vent, t exploe. In this mill four persons Were daucerusly hurt aud two badly wound- ed. Peter McGinlew was thrown avout forty Feet, and. it is thought, will hardly recover. Patrick Burk was run girom the mill when the lightning rod descended, fracturing his skull. His reeovery is doubtfal. Thos. Mul- len had hiscollarbone broken by the descent of a piece of timber. The engincer, Mr. Mitchell, was seated at his post. reading his newspaper, when the ex- lesion tock plase. He saw a barre! of pow- jer explode, but escape] with a few slight bruises The will was torn to pieces. There were about 1,400 ibs. of powder in it, which is less than usau! The trees arourd the drying house were blown up by the roots, and one or two horses ja the 1 cighborliood were killed. A wan not connected with the mill is is said to have been killed, but this seems doubtful. Drs. A;.ew, Bush, Wilson and Draper, from Wilmingtou, ure present, rendering all the aid in their power to the wounded. Mr. Garesche says the explosion must have been caused by cic of the Frenchmen who worked in the packing room and was addict- ed to smoking a pipe; Mr. G. had cautioned him two weeks previous about it, and told him to quit the premises, or quit his pipe; and he supposed until uow that he had abandoned the practice. ee tar Dr. Chilton, the eminent chemist, of Wew York, says the ailanthus tree is not poison- 98s, or even injurious to health. - . ceive the wisdom of the course which Kieeder lias seen fit to pursue. right in nearly all his opinion, his action has been precisely that needed to deprive them of their weight. tion of members of the Leg:slature vy the whatever for its relief that he cannot recognize the assembly ut Shawnee asa Le of the Legislature as of Commerce, under date of Washington, July 31, says : operations, accord: to those rumors, not the chief cause of his removal,—end, a8 yet, the other Territorial officers who took part with him in the purchase of Indian reserves, have not been turned out.”” It will be recollected that when the Presi- dent felt called on to send to Governor Reeder the charges against him, made officially by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, which were so made shortly before Governor R. left Washington not long since, it was duly an- nounced and known to all that his removal was to be the penalty of his failure to elear them up satisfactorily. At the same time, as all will remember, the other appointees of the President in Kansas were duly served with copies of the charges so made against them, individually, and were notified that they were expected to clear them up, under pain of re- moval ou ther failure to do so. Gov. Reeder’s reply having been received, and not proving satisfactory, he has been removed. The re- plies of the other officers of the Territory are un- derstood not to have been received as yet. We presume that their cases will not be acted on without the reception of their replies, until they may have had all the time to prepare them that can reasonably be granted. If they decline essaying to make satisfactory answers to Mr. Commissioner Manypenny’s allegations of complicity in speculations in the lands of the wards of the Government—the Indians— or essaying so to do make a failure of it, they, two, will be removed. It is well known to all here that the President is determined to carry out his purpose of removing every man on whom speculation in the direct or indirect dis- charge of his public trust can be proved, or who mismanages the duties devolved on him. Not long since he caused his own nephew, who was United States dispatch agent at New York, to be removed for permitting letters to be put in the Government's dispatch bags that should have been sent across the ocean in the public mails. It will thua be perceived that he is no respecter of persons in the discharge of his duties, even where not to be must be peculiarly disagreeable. We are not charging that Gov. Reeder and his of sisal assveiates in Kansas defrauded or essayed to defraud Indians of that territory. Any speculations whatever in the lands of the wards of the government, or anything in their conduct that might be construed into availing taemselves of their official positions to better their fortunes by speculation was wrong, and was sctting an example, the evil consequences of which arc aimost incalculable. The thought- ful, and those who really desire the well-being of our country, and that its government shall remain pure in all things, will (everywhere, when the Kansas slavery question and excite- ment blows over,) applaud the President for the unflinching manuer in which he bas dis- charged and will (in the cases of the other territorial officers) discharge his duty in this connection, in the face of his knowledge that all the demagogues throughout the non-slave- holding States gtand ready to seize upon the fact of Goy. Reeder’s removal when in the midst of a quarrel with the unti-abvlitionists of the Territory (who were petitioning for his displacement on another ground) to get up the false cry that the President is interfering to influence the character of the domestic insti- tions of Kansas. in announcing his removal some days ago, We took vccasion to explain that independent of the cause on which he had been displaced, the day for bis usefulness in Kansas had de- parted—that if the General Government hoped to discharge its duties as the guardlan of the rights and interests of the Territory, Governor Reeder was uo longer the man for the occasion Ifa knowledge of the facts involved in the state of anarchy that has for some time existed in the public affairs of Kansas, which should be known to all readers of any newspapers what- ever, be not.suificient to convince any sane man of the necessity for selecting some other person ns Governor of the Territory, it strikes us that the following comments on the existing state of things there which we find in the New York Times, an ultra anti-Reeder-removal journal, will open tho eyes of the public to the hollowness of anti-slavery jeremaids over the eb: pr ige made by the President, by showing the ng necessity for that measure of State: “For cur own part we are not able to per- ov. Theoretically He protested agaiust the elec- armed invasion, but neglected to declare the election null. Proclaiming Kansas conquered by an alien mob, he abandoned the territory to the invaders and repaired to Washington, where be could neither do aor say anything And row—declaring ature, because it is ille- gally assembled,—he does recognize it by treating their acts as legitimate, by receiving » giving them consideration, and sexd- ing in messages explaining the reasons for withboiding from them his approval. Vetoing a legislative act is certainly a strange mode of ignoring the Legislature that passed it by receiving its enactments as Governor,— giving them due and care‘ Y ‘areful consideration, aod sending in messages concerning them, he recognizes the legal aud legitimate existence perfectly unt complete- ly as possible. It makes not the slighest diff- erence whether he approves or disapproves its acts. A-veto recognizes the existence of a Legislature just as effectually as a message of approval. And so long as Gov. Reeder contin- ues to send in messszes vetoing the enactments of the Kansas Legislature, just so long will they have his own acts as ‘evidence of their power to act, in opposition to his opinion that they are au illegal and non-existent body. The Governor has shown, throughout his ad- ministration, a very happy faculty of stulti- fying himset’ by just such discrepancies as these between bis actions and his words.” Miss Carroll.—** We hope it will be borne in mind, and announced on all vecasions, when quotations arc made. that Miss Anna Ella Car- roll is a grend daughter of Charles Carroll, of Carotliton, signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, neice of the Archbishop of this name, and daughter of ex-Governor Carroll of Mary- land.”’ We extract the above budget of falsehvods from the New York organ of Cassalli_ and other unnaturalized vagabonds and infidels who have undertaken to reform the institutions and lawsof our country—the Crusader—with which journal the lady in question has formed a seribbling connection, writing for it after the Miss Bunkley-fashion. Now, we have the highest authority for stating that the Miss Anna Ella Carroll named above, is in no way connected with or related to the family of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, or with Archbishop Carroll. The latter named was the cousin, and not the son of the former, ag the quotation would indicate. Miss Car- roll never was a Catholic, and she is well known in this city, (where several years ago she conducted s school,) as the daughter of Thos. King Carroll, Esq., of Baltimore, Md. The attempt to impose her upon the commu- nity as an original Catholic, and as a member of the highly respected family of Carrollton Carrolls, is like every other thing originating with the opponents of civil and religious free- dom. Will they have the honesty to “put history aright”’ in this case ? There never was a clearer case of false pre- tences than this effort to give consequence to the silly balderdash of Miss Carroll against a religious sect among us. It is, however, in capital keeping with the want of integrity of purpose which Know Nothingism so univer- sally manifests. ‘The Weather.—The record kept at the Smithsonian Institution shows the following condition of the weather for the month of July : Barometer.

Enough has been heard from North Cavo- lina to render it certain that the Democrats a et se A gain in most quarters of the State. We think tuat Mr. Kerr (Whig) has been defeated by bis Know Nothing competitor, end that Branch (Dem.) succeeds Rodgers (Whig) by a ery large majority. In one of the two reuaining districts which were seriously contested, tie Democrats (in Raleigh) claim that Shaw (Dem.) has been re-elected, and it is not known whether Puryear (Know Nothing) has been re-elected or nut. Winslow (Dem.) suc- ceeds Ashe (Dem.) in the Wilmington district hy a large majority, though tae Know Nothing: ‘elt very certain of defeating him. Though ihey entertained similar hopes in the district of T. L. Clingman, (from whieh we eannot have reliable and conclusive news for some slays,) they have probably been Jefeated tere by a heavy majority. he district of Ruffin (Dem.) re-elects him by a considerably in- creased majority. The following are the returns so far re- ceived : L. O’Brien Branch, the Democratic candi- date in the Fourth Congressional district, has been triumphantly elected over Jas. B. Shep- ard, Know Nothing. His reported majorities are as follows: Franklin 381, Granville 100, Jobnson 200, Wake 466, Warren 666, Nash 1,000—total 2,813; but Ora:nge gives 135 for Shepard, which reduces Branch’s majority to 2,678. Inthe last Congress this district was represented by Hon. S. H. Rogers. The clec- “on of Mr. Branch is, therefore, a Democratic gain. Two counties in the First Congressional dis- tsiet, have been heard from, which give a small increased majority for the Democratic candidate (Dr. H. M. Shaw) compared with the last Congressional vote, when Mr. Shaw was electéd by 87 majority. in the Second District, Hon. T. M. Ruffin, the Democratic vandidate, is undoubtedly re- elected by a very heavy majority. In the Third District reports are favorable to the election of Winslow, Democrat, over’ David Reid, Know Nothing. In the Fifth District it is reported that Guil- ‘ord county has given 1,550 majority for Ed- win @. Reade, Know Nothing, over Hon. John Kerr, anti-Know Nothing W hig. Northampton county gives Shaw 213, and Hertford gives Paine an increased majority. Elizaboth city and one other precinct, of Pas- quotank, gives Paine 197. Two other precincts tv be heard from, which will increase his ma- jority over 100. Camden district gives Paine an increased majority. The county (of Cam- den) will not fall much short of the usu:t] ma- jority. The Know Nothings of the distrist aro sanguine of Paine’s alegtion. (‘Ina horn.?’— Eb. The following, purporting to be the returiws tcom the Tennessee eleation, has also been re- ceived : ee olection held yesterday in Tennessee, for Gov- ernor, members of Con; &c come for- ward very slowly. As far as heard from Gen- try (Whig and KN.) for Governor gains 2,- 400 votes, and Johnson (Dem.) gains 537 votes The majority for Johnson, (Dem.) in 1853, was 3,575, with which vote the above vote is com- pared. Lovisvitue, Aug. 3—Evening.—In twenty- five counties in Tennessee, Gentry, Whig and Know Nothing, for Governor, has a net gain of 1,500 yotes as pares with the Governor's vote in 1853, when Johnson had 2,258 majority. Nasuvitie, August 3.—Davidson —, gives at least 1,200 majority for Gentry. It gave 634 Whig majority in 1853. The Know Nothings have doubtless carried the State. We have to say that the statement that twenty-five counties heard from in Louisville yesterday, as it cannot possibly be true, dis- credits these returns from Tennessee. Up to last night the result in some eight or ten coun- ties (including Davidson) might have been known in Louisville. However, very recent advices lead us to have small hope of the elec- tion of Johnson. So it is probable that these telegraphic dispatches, manufactured doubt- less to effect Kentucky, and the elections to take place on Monday, will prove to be guesses ~‘near the mark.’’ Soe THE ASSEMBLY’S CHURCH, COR- ner 5th and I streets, Rev.
