We are moving our presses into a fine new Press room, where we will have greatly: in- creased facilities for the execution of Jos Parmrixe. Our other facilities for the neat, expeditious, and economical execution of Job Printing, of almost every description, have likewise been greatly extended of late. So we are now prepared to give satisfaction in that Tine to all. Counsel before the Court of Claims will find the Star office the best place in Wash- ington for the immediate and correct execu- tion of their printing jobs. Give us acall. , 2 oe Ke Owing to the moving of our newspape: press to its present location, and the changing of the engine end the shafting to adapt it to the new press-room, we shall be compelled to depend upon the hire of laborers for a few days for the “power” necessary to print our paper. Subscribers receiving their papers somewhat later than usual in the meanwhile will, therefore, know the cause of the delay. —————<e-—_______. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union of this morning comments on the very last political change of the New York Courier and Enquirer, enlisting under the banner of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and jokes over Gov. H. S. Foote’s crisis ix, American public affairs. The Intelligencer says of Massachusetts : “One of the strongest as well as one of the most satisfacto cvilensse to us that the course we have felt bound by a sense of duty to pursv’e in relation to the an controversy between the North and the South has been imp®.tial, just, and national, is, on the one hard, the assurances of approbation which we receive from patriotic men in all sections; and, on the other, the expressions of dis; teasure which reach us from the bigoted and violent on both sides of the quarrel. From the calm and considerate we zeccive thanks; from the excited and prejudiced denunciation. We de- rive from all this the satisfaction of knowing that what we say is at least read; and we do not despair that, sooner or later, when the storm shall have passed over, the ‘sober second thought’ will come to all, and that it will then be acknowledged by all that, from the beginning to the end of every “controversy in which section bas been arrayed against see- tion, the part we have taken in it has had but a single end in view—that of endeavoring to reserve the Constitution inviolate and the nion of the States as one.”” The. Baltimore Su, commenting on the Lov‘isville riots, says, very justly : “The Louisville papers, up to election, anticipated a riot. hy? The ex- tracts we have published show clearly the causes of the outrage. We are unwilling to refer to these publications, for we can see in them too much of that spirit which must ever produce disorder and outrage. It is enough that the riets were anticipated. The Demo- crat says the authorities were applied to for the adoption of similar means to those em- ployed in New Orleans for the preservation of the peace, the sclection of several respectable citizens of both parties as guardians of the polls, that each voter might be secured an o} portunity to deposite his vote This would have obviated all cause of dissatisfaction. But no such measure was adopted. “ Now. after the election, and after the riots, we hear the complaint that one arty took pos- Sesion of the polls, and exoluded numbers of the other from the exercise of their suffrage Hence it is alleged, the vote_of Louisville is not recorded. It matters not howa man is deprived of ais vote—whether by violence, or by the insufficiency of means provided for a popular election, by fraud, partially, or an; other cause not in ‘himself, a great wrong is icted upon him.”’ the day of Taz Yettow Fever at Norrouk axp Portsmovra.—At the hospital in Norfolk on the 7th inst., there were six new cases and onedeath, and in Portsmouth and Gosport eight new cases and five deaths. The Portsmouth Transcript has been eus- pended, temporarily, in consequence of the absence of the printers of that journal. Col. W. B. Whitehead, of Suffolk, Va., has contributed $100 for the relief of the sick and distre-sed of Portsmouth and Gosport. About seven thousand persons, it is estima- ted, have left those places since the commence- ment of the epidemic (on the fifth of+July,) or upward of one half of the population ; since which time there have probab ly been seventy deaths by the fever. Pactric Rattroap.—We have received the Srst volume, printed in quarto form, of the Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to ascer- tain the most practicable route for a railroad from the Mississippi river to the Pacific Ocean, made under the direction of the Seeretary of War in 1853-"54, according to acts of Congress, The work is accompanied by maps, showing the various routes which have been examined, and is of great interest indeed.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —-- ——_—_—_ The Louisville Biots.—We have at length areliable account of these terribl in the Louisville Courier of the Tth instant, the day after the election, The Washington reader will pereeive that though no weapons were used in our late manicipal election, the arrangements of the Know Nothing managers here for tho perpetration of frauds on that oo- casion, were closely parodied there, and were carried out, by the aid of the torch of the in- cendiary, the knife and fire-arms. Asa matter of course, men who have sworn to perjure themselves, when acting as elec- tion commissioners, on the witness stand, in the jury box, or wherever such acts may be Recessary to justify and carry out any and everything designed for the benefit of Know Nothingism, and who, professing to be law- abiding citizens, steretly countenance such exts as were perpetrated on Monday last in Louisville, and those which transpired in this city on the 4th of June last, (so well calculate to lead to the Louisville results,) will continue ‘o palliate and justify Know Nothing parti- san ends, fraud, falsehood, murder and arson. {From the Louisville Courier, August 7 } Tar Teartie Exection Rwrts 1 Lovis- ViLLE.—We passed yesterday through the forms of an election. As provided by the statute, the polls were opened, and privilege Sranted to such as were “right upon the go0se,”’ with a few exce tions, to exercise their elective franchise. ever, perhaps, was a greater farce, or, as we sheet term it, tra- Y,enacted. Hundreds and thousands were eterred from voting by direct acts of intimi- dation, others through fear of consequences, and a multitude from the lack of proper faci- lities. The city, indeed, was, during the day, Im possession of an armed mob, the base pas- sions of which were infuriated to the highest pitch by the incendiary appeals of the news- aper —— and the popular leaders of the sand, ing party. On Sunday night largo detachments of men were cent to the first and second wards to see that the polls were properly opened. Thdse men the ‘‘American executive committee” supplied with requisite refreshments, and, as may be imagined, they were in very fit con- dition on yesterday morning to see’ that the rights of freemen were respected. Indeed, they discharged the important trusts com- mitted to them in such manner as to commend them forever to the admiration of outlaws! They opened the polls; they provided ways and means for their own party to vote; they buffed and bullied all who could not show the sign ; they in fact converted the election into @ perfect farce, without one redeeming or qualifying phase. We do not know when or how their plan of operations was devised. Indeed, we do not care to know when such a system of outrage— such perfidy, such dastardy—was conceived. We only blush for Kentucky that her soil was the scene of such outrages, and that some of her sons were participants in the nefarious swindle. : . it would be impossible to know when or how this riot commenced. By day-break the poils were taken possession of by the American party, and, in pursuance of their preconcerted game, they used every stratagem or device to hinder the vote of every man who could not manifest to the ‘ guardians of the polls’ his soundness on the Know Nothing question. We were personally witnesses to the procedure of the party in certain wards, and of these we feel authorized to speak. At the Seventh Ward we discovered that for three hours in the outset in the morning it was impossible for those not ‘ posted’’ to vote without the great- est difficulty. In the Sixth Ward a party of bullies were masters of the polls. We saw two foreiguers driven from the polls, foreed so run a gauntlet, beat unmercifully, stoned, and stabbed. In the case of one fellow, the Hon. Wm. Thomasson, formerly a member of Con- gress from this district, interfered, and while appealing to the maddened crowd to cease their acts of disorder and violence, Mr. Thomasson was struck from behind and beat. His gray hairs, his long public service, his manly presence, and his thorough American- ism, availed nothing with the crazed mob. Other and serious fights occurred in the Sixth Ward, of which we have no time to make mention now. The more serious and disgraceful disturb- ances occurred in the upper wards. The yote cast was but a Y agai one, and nearly alto- ether on one side. No show was given to the friends of Preston, who were largely in the majority, but who, in the face of cannon, mus- kets, and revolvers, could not, being an un- armed and quiet populace, confront the mad mob. So the vote was cast one way, and the result stands before the public. In the morning, as we state elsewhere, George Berg. a carpenter, living on the corner of Nith and Market streets, was killed near Hancock streets. A German named Fitz, for- merly a partner at the Galt House, was severe- ly, if not fatally, beaten. _An the afternodh a general row occurred on Shelby street extending from Main to Broad- way. We are unable to ascertain the facts conceraing the disturbance. Some fourteen or f.izeen men were shot, including Officer Wil- liams, Joe Selvage, and others. Two or three were killed, and a number of houses, chiefl German coffee-houses, bro! into and pill- aged. About four o’clock,/when the vast crowd, augmented by accessions from every part of the city, and armed with shot-guns, muskets, and rifles, were roceeding to attack the Catholic church on Shelby street, Mayor Barbee arrested them with a speech, and the mob returned to the First Ward polls. Pres- ently a large party arrived with a piece of brass ordnance, followed by a number of men and boys with muskets. In an hour after- wards the large brewery on Jefferson street, near the junction of Green, was set fire to. In the lower part of the city, the disturb- ances were characterized by a greater degree of bloody work. Late in the afternoon, three irishmen going down Main street, near Elev- enth, were attacked, and one knocked down. Then ensued a terrible scene, the Irish firing from the windows of their houses, on Main Street, repeated volleys. Mr. Rhodes, a river man, was shot and killed by one in the upper story, and a Mr. Graham met with a similar fate. An Irishman who discharged a pistol at the back of a daa head, was per and then hung. He, however, survived both punish- ments. John Hudson, a carpenter, was shot dead during the fracas. After dusk, « row of frame houses on Main street, between Tenth and Eleventh, the prop- erty of Mr. Quinn, a well-known Irishman, was set on fire. The flames extended across the street, and twelve buildings were destroyed. These houses were chiefly tenanted by Irish, and upon any of the tenants venturing out to escape the tlames, they were immediately shot down. No idea could be formed of the num- ber killed. We are advised that five men were roasted to death, having been so badly wounded by gun-shot wounds that they could not escape from the burning buildings. Of all the enormities an: Reerde.¥9 commit- ted by the American party yesterday and last night we have not now time to write. The mob having satisfied its appetite for blood, re- paired to Third street, and until midnight made demonstrations against the ‘“ Times”’ and ‘ Democrat’’ offices. The furious crowd satisfied itself, however, with breaking a few window-panes, and burning the sign of the Times office. At one o'clock this morning @ large fire is raging in the upper part of the city. pou the proceedings of yesterday and last night we have new no time nor heart to com- ment. We are sickened with the very thought of the men murdered, and houses burned and pillaged, that signalized the American victo- Ty yesterday. Not less than twenty corpses form the trophies of this wonderful achieve- ment. Inter-Qceanic Ship Canal.—Wo learn, from reliable source, that some enterprising citi- zens of the Uvited States and New Granada have discovered and explored the long sought- for route for connecting the Atlantic and Pa- cifie ooeans by means of a tention and consideration of every civilized people and government. The plan, as we understand it, is togo up the Atrato river some fifty miles from its mouth, with a depth of from six to ten fathoms, and from thence to the Pacific—a distance of some sixty miles morewithout a single lock or other ebstruction in the contemplated eanal. A liberal grant has been made by the Gov- ernment of New Granada to the persons en- gaged in this grand andertaking; and the whole rotte, from one o¢eah to the other, has been accurately surveyed, and the facts de- veloped are beyond doubt or question, so far as the feasibility of the work is concerned. Nothing of which we are advised can equal the importance of this project, and the facts -| presented to us are clearly presumptive of the practicability of the enterprise. When we get the report in full of the engineer who survey- ed and measured the route, we will present it to our readers. ; The Euling Spirit of the Day—is much like that which distinguished the era in American public affairs that signalised the adminis- tration of the elder Adams. The only point of difference is, that, then, the ery was against infidelity, so far as religion was concerned; while at this time it is against Catholicity, the religionists who take part in the crusade of the hour, hugging to their hearts not only those who most shamelessly deny the existence of a Supreme being in their habit of life, but those also whose infidelity is a matter of every day boasting. The state of popular senti- ment that enacted the alien and sedition laws broke out in riot and bloodshed, wherever specious demagogues of position in society stepped forward to countenance such demon- strations against the foreigh-born in our coun- try, not more than against the letter and spirit of our constitution and laws, and the eternal principles of justice, liberty, and rightj on which they (the constitution and laws of the United States) are founded. It required but some two years for the people to come to their senses, as was manifested not only in the re- peal of the dangerous class-legislation to which we refer above, but in ostracising nearly all the public men who were conspicuous in the work of leading the popular mind astray fr their own selfish and unprincipled ends, and in such a reaction in the popular mind as that ‘rom that day to the era of the burning of the church of St. Augustine, in Philadelphia, all were, with great unanimity, considered ene- nies to the principles on which the constitu- n of our country is based, who counte: tee idea that it was just, legal, and patriotic io make distinctions among citizens of the Uni. ted States on account of birth-place or religion. The existing phase of popular opinion to which we refer, owesits origin, in a g sure, to the increasing habit of offi eking wmong our countrymen. Where one man sought office forty years ago, at least one hun- dred, if not five cimes that number, seek office now. As it is impossible to gratify all, and as many of the disappointed are mere blather- kiting, small-beer politicians, without either charaeter or true patriotism, they cast around them for some means of obtaining revenge on the party whose election they aided, but who preferred to entrust the business of the Government in other hands than theirs; and being, most of them, cunning demagogues, they essayed to play on two elements of ihe organization of the human mind, in which the history of the progress of man, from the barbarism of the remotest times of which we have a record, shows that man is weak- est. That is, to play on the religious pre- judices and the natural antipathies of race inate in the ignorant and passionate through- out all time and in every clime. The latter clement, by the by, may not fairly be pro- nounced a weakness of humanity alone; as it never yet has happened that a strange dog ap- proached a lot of curs without instantly being set upon, unless the latter, on carefully sur- veying the stranger, became satisfied that in the fight they might possibly come off second best. But leaving this, our episode, we have to remark that a portion of the politicians of the other party, ambitious of place at any sacrifice of American institutions and principles, at once seized upon the burning hate and anti- American schemes of the disappointed Deimo- erats, on which to ride into power. Together, almost from the date of the last presidential inauguration to this day, they have beea pros- ecuting their plans; collecting large bodies of the ignorant, brutal, vicious, bigutted, fanati- cal and demagoguish in the secrecy of miduigitt, inducing them to forswear their integrity and allegiance to the laws of the land and its con- stitution, by specious appeals, which are success- fal with even such persons, only because honest, patriotic, truthful, experienced and well in- formed men are not permitted to be present to expose, in the hearing of the masses, their dangerous and really revolting tendency. In such secret meetings they are taught that to lie is virtuous; that to perpetrate frauds against their opponents is justifiable; and that to commit violence under cover of the dark- ness of the night, is patriotic. That this has beon done for some time past all over the United States, is proved not only by the ritual of the order, but by the affidavits of honest and patriotic men who, having gone into their lodgee, have felt it to be their duty to make public what transpired therein in their sight and hearing. Their system of operations, while well caleulated to give the order evan- escent success at the polls, is also just the thing to end in such riots as those of the pres- ent season in Newark, Williamsburg, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Columbus (Ohio,) and Louisville; which being of a character almost unheard-of in the United States’since the days of Alien and Sedition law supremacy, are pal- pably the result of the teaching of Know No- thingism in the secrecy of its midnight con- claves. pat mea- Bounty Land Warrants.—In the case of a female warrantee, a femme covert, twenty years of age, the General Land Office has decided that, if the statute of the State in which her domicil is situated allows females of the age of eighteen to transfer real estate, the local land officers are authorized to permit the war- rant to be located in the name of an assignee, upon its being filed at the proper district land office, with an assignment executed by the warrantee and her husband, according to the forms prescribed in the general circular of 34 May, 1855, and accompanied by a duly certi- fied copy of the statute aforesaid, with evi- dence showing the place of her domicil. Mendacity.—Notwitbstanding the dreadful canal. This | features of the Louieville riots, we cannot help great desideratum to the commercial world is | being amused with the utter lack of principle, certain!y the most grand and important enter- price of this “fast” age, and worthy the at- ~ honesty, truth, justice, and sound American- ism saanidested by the New York Ezpress in : ¢ its comments on the dreadful occurrences of Monday last. The false version of the affair, telegraphed in all directions by the man who en EXTRA ODD FELLOWS’ HALL. has sworn that he will perjure himself in the | THIS (FRIDAY) EVENING, August 10. witness’ stand, or commit any crime that may be necessary to be perpetrated to serve “the ends ef the order,”’ is instantly seized on by the Express; and by its similarly foresworn writer, is embellished with the addition of any number of monstrosities, coined to suit the oc- casion, in that person’s brain. In the face of the fact that every Know-Nothing original ac- count of the murder and bloodshed resulting within the last year from their efforts to over- turn law, fire or sack buildings, and kill individuals, in order to carry their political points, (as at Williamsburg, Newark, New Or- leans, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio,) have been proved to be atrociously false on investi- gation—the Express comments on the Louis- ville riots, so as to create in clear heads and honest hearts the impression that the party or parties responsible for the article would not hesitate to steal, cut a throat, or fire a house, if under the belief that due punishment for such acts could certainly be avoided. Pardoned.—We understand that the Presi- | dent has directed the pardon of Thomas Harry. convicted some time ago in the criminal court for this county of an assault with intent to kill the late Paine Todd, Esq. Harry has been confined for four years in the peniten- tiary of the District of Columbia, and had about eighteen months to serve. { y Appointed.—Mr. Thomas J. Prevat has been appointed Register of the Land Office at Noonansyville, Fla., vice Paul McCormick, re- signed. A Light-house Keeper Appointed.—Caleb L.

Norra Caroiina.—This morning we have news by telegraph from North Carolina, which increases the prospect of the defeat of Puryear, (K. N.,) who, it will be recollected, was an opposition member in the last House. Scales, his anti-Know Nothing opponent, is, in all prob- ability elected, which will make the North Carolina delegation in the next House stand anti-Know Nothing 6, Know Nothing 2. ALanama.—Our correspondent at Montgom- ery, than whom we know no more reliable man in such cases, telegraphs to us to-day as follows : Montcomery, Aug. §.—Winston’s majority is immense. We have returns sufficient to show the triumphant election of Dowdell, Har- }-part to make ep oe ris, Shorter, and Houston, (all anti-K. N.’s— Ed) Nothing decisive yet from Cobb’s dis- trict. In the Mobile district. there is a pros- pect, so far, of the election of Stawlworth (anti) over Perey Walker (K. N.) The Legis- lature is largely Democratic, and Fitzpatrick’s re-election to the Senate is thus insured. An hour before the receipt of this dispatch, we received another from a distinguished pub- lic man, as follows : Moxtaomeny, Aug. 8.—Dowdell is elected by five hundred majority. Winston will be elected by upwards of six thousand. Dowdell’s district is composed of the coun- ties of Chambers, Russell, Macon, Tallapoosa, Montgomery, and Autagua. They usually give an aggregate anti-Democratic majority of 2,000. Mr. Abercrombie, Whig, has been their representative in Congress for some years past. Dowdell, we know, had determined not to run, but was forced out as late as the last of June. Ilis vietory, under all these adverse cireum- stances, proves that Know Nothingism has greatly injured rather than strengthened the cause of the opposition in Alabama. The dis- trict borders on Georgia and is principally settled by Georgians ; which, in turn, is sig- nificant of the fate that awaits Know Nothing- ism in Georgia at the approaching election in that State. TENNeSSEE.—We are without additional re- turns from that State. The last insure the election of Smith, anti-K. N., and of Zolli- koffer and Rivers, K. N.’s. Nothing decisive has been heard from any other Congressional contest in that State, though we take it for granted that the new delegation will stand Know Nothing 7, anti-Know Nothing 3. John- son's mejority for Governor will be about as iargé as he received at the last Gubernatorial election there. Kestucky.—No further election details have reached us to-day from Kentucky. Know Nothing dispatches claim Morehead’s election by between 6,000 anc 7,000 majority—highly probable, if their election commissioners did elsewhere in the State as at Louisville. (Vide the extract from the Louisville Courier of the 7th instant in another column.) A Parviawentary Division.—The parties, who in Parliament are opposed to the present war, may be divided into two large spinning classes; those who, like Bright, spin cotton, = oe who, like Gladstone, spin long yarns. —Punch. n of the Grand Li vot the District of Co- lumbia will be holden on MONDAY, the 13th in- stant, at Island Hall, at 5 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of eyek the Corner Stone of the “Ger inan Reformed Church,’’ corner 4 and D sts.
