SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, under the head of ‘‘ The Re- ‘venge of the Persecuted,’’ argues to show that the English laws against Catholicism have done much, inieed, to injure the cause of Protestantim, ard to strengthen the church of Rome, ‘The editor also praises the efforts of the Siste.s of Chait; while their religion is being made in this country an object of bit- ter persecution, saying, in conclusion : “It is s singular coincidence that the Sis- ters of Charity have their establishments in those very States which hays been must ac- cursed by the modern crurade against their re- ligion. e following list is taken from the latest work published on the subject : List of Establishments under the charge o, the Daughters of Charity, servants of the poor, in the United States. oe “Maryland —Central House, Novitiate, St. Joseph’s Academy, Orphan Asy- lum. and Poor School.

Washington, Distriet of Columbia.—St. Vin- eent’s Asylum and School.” The Intelligencer is inclined to be jocose over the idea that there really exists any such taing as a Republican (i. ¢. Abolition) party i, the Federal city, saying : “Among the dreams of the various isms which have been, from time to time, put forth for the disturbance of the public tranquility or the gratification of a vitiated public taste, we have seen nothing more ludicrously absurd than this assumption [of the National Era— Ep Star] that the professed Abolitionists will rebably have a msjority in the next House of epresentatives, ‘with a fair prospect of the Presidency »nd the control of the Federal Government after the 4th of March, 1857.’ We have heard of ‘counting chickens before they are hatched ;’ but this is reckoning them before the eggs are laid. Kepudlican is a sort of India-rubber name, that is easily stretched to cover a multitude cf sins; but we have been long enough citizens of Washington to be justified in doubting whether it can even be successfully used here to cloak the heresy of political Aboliti Platfurms and consti- ‘ations, rodalities and associations, of every form and cclor, have become so common as earcely to excite the curiosity even of the sdie. Wecan smile at the predictions of en- thusiasm, without being at al! disturbed b the threuteced consequences of their fulfi- ment.”’ ~~ Capon Srrixcs.—At this popular piace of resort there are now about five hundered visit- ers; and the proprietors, in order to accommo- date their Southern friends, have determined fo keep the Mountain House open until the 10th of October, as will be seen by reference to our advertising columns. The three tour- maments will take place on the 28th of August, end the 12th and 26th of September. Sree Ea The United States practice-ship Preble, J. ¥.

His connection with the zie paruape afforded him the wepersenity Of acquiring that intimate knowledge of the Free Soil Associa- tion of 1848, which he displays in the above paragraph; but be should remember that sehool-fellows “ never tell tales out of a 2 We owe our friend, the editor of the Organ, not “‘one,’’ but a thousand, for the gallantry he displays in coming so promptly to our de- fence from the gravecharge which the Locum tenens of the Era makes against us, as above quoted. He (of the Organ) is a glorious fel- jow, and points his sharp rapier with inim- itable ekill. Witness the conclusion of his comments upon this article, as follows, viz: “What right has the Abolition Rag ved to elxim a gallant defender of the South, its in- stitutions, and the Union, as an ally, upon the mere circumstance of his having been “a con- tributor’’ to its columns? We will tolerate no such insinuation. We therefore demand, on behalf of our colleague, a withdrawal of the insinuation, and ample reparation for the slander. Otherwise, ‘odds! bullets, and bludgeons But we choke down our indignation, confident that our colleague will deny the charge, and demand that ‘the con- tributions’ be published; and, in default of this obvious measure of justice, that we shall be empowered to wait upon the Haytien who has perpetrated the slander with a mortal message, and bespeak coffins for two.”’ Placing little faith in the integrity of the purpose of whoever may be the writer of the original paragraph in the Era, ag, if he knows any thing with reference to our “contribu- tions’ to the columns of that paper, he also knows well that wo have never for an in- stant sympathized, with our pen or mind, with the Eva's politics, with its purposes or its ab- stract views on the subject of American Slave- ty, we hasten to relieve thedoubts and quiet the indignation of him of the Organ by giv- ing the explanation he demands. Thus, the editor of the Star, formany years before purchasing this paper, was a writer for the press, daily, weekly and monthly, by pro- fession, on nearly all subjects in which the public at large took interest—politics, history, literature, the arts and sciences, &c., 4c. Al- ways industrious, he furnished papers for the periodicals, the weekly and daily preas, upon any subjects with which he was familiar, where his views on them were judged to be of suffi- cient importance to be satisfactorily paid for. Thus, while he furnished letters, &c., on polities and reports to the Washington Union, with which journal hesympathized politically, he also furnished for the National Intelligen- cer, @ series of elaborate papers on the pro- gress of the indugtrial arts in the United States, written from New York; and for the Republic of this city, the well-remembered series of “Ichabod” letters upon fashions in Washington, the squabbles of office-seekers, the roorbacks of those with beams in their own eyes who were bent on picking the motes out of those of the Administration, and, indeed, on any and every thing amusing and enter- taining then occurring in Washington, Short- ly after the beginning of the European revo- lutions of 1848, we commenced, and for months continued in the Union, a series of ‘“contri- butions”’ on that subject,“prepared with labo- rious care, and only after eonsulting all the trust-worthy English and continental sources ofinformation within our reach When the sub- ject became somewhat hacknied, the Union’s proprietor declined longer to publish them, and we were applied to by the proprietor of the Era to furnish a similar series of “contri butions’’ on the same subject for his journal, with the handsome compliment, by-the-by, of an offer of just twice what the Union had been paying for them. - We were rejoiced to find so much true liber- ality evinced by a publisher holding the opin- ions of Dr. Bailey, of the Era, as was evidentin this offer made, with the full knowledge on his part that upon American slavery and American politics, we were as far apart as it was possible for gentlemen to be; and we were perfectly will- ing to furnish ovr views onthe condition of Eu- rope and passing oceurrences there for that jour- nal, so long as his readers would stand them. So, we commenced and continued the prepara- tion of the papers in question, weekly, for many months; in none of which, however, was the question of American slavery or American polities alluded to, otherwise than in ‘ dressing down’’ Exeter Hall, and those clergymen who pinned their faith to it, on all passing occa- sions. As these were not few, we oventually made the Era’s columns too hot to hold our doctrines even on European affairs—and their further publication was respectfully and kind- ly declined by Dr. Bailey, who stated to us that he was induced to that course by the com plaints of many of his patrons (the Abolition- ists) who sympathized with those parties—the English Exeter Hall pseudo philanthropists, whose hypocrisy and imbeoility for real good results we had aimed to expose. So, our con- tributions to the Era ceased when it would no longer publish our doctrines. Our literary labors in connection with any sabject but American party politics were always for sale, like those of all other literary men, (if we may fairly claim for ourself that appellation, after having lived and supported those dependant on us for some sixteen years wholly on what the world was willing to pey for our lucubrations,) and we were always happy to furnish them to those publishers in- clined to pay best for them. Thus, while writing Democratic politics for the Union, the Democratie (monthly) Review, and a dozen other Democratic party publications, we fur- nished articles forthe Whig (monthly) Review, which the conductors of that periedical did us the honor to adopt as leaders. Theso latter, however, were like our “‘ contributions’ to the Era, wholly foreign to the subject of American polities; They were upon the navel history of our country some fifty years prior to the com- mencement of the American revolution. We trust. that we have relieved the anxiety of our friend of the Organ in our behalf, and in that of the true cause of State Rights in whieh he claims us, so gracefully, to be his fellow-laborer. As for the dimensions of the sanctum of the editor of the Era, we have to inform Mr. Lo- cvrm-tenens that we are stillin the dark—never having had occasion to enter it—having no political sympathy, direct or indirect, with any one we might by any possible chance be likely to meet there—and respecting ourself too much to be disposed to pry into its secrets. Oar “‘connection with the Era’’ did not, there” fore, “afford us “the opportunity to acquire that intimate knowledge of the Free Soil Asso- ciation of 1848 which he [we] displays in the above paragraph.’’ But the correctness of that knowledge, it is, which makes “‘the galled jade wince’’—which superinduced the silly ef- fort of Mr. Locum-tenens to confound us with the Era’s politics upon the strength of the liberal purchase, by the proprietor of that journal, of our literary efforts on a sub- ject as foreign to that of American slavery, as a work on Grecian history or Egyptian antiqui- ties would be. , In conclusion, we have again to return thanks to our friend of the Organ for affording us this opportunity to shoot dewn the constructive roorback of Mr. Locum tenens, as it rose from that sanctum, and to assure him (of the Organ) that when the expected duel grows out of this affair, we shall look to him to stand by us, duly armed with a pair of——hbottles of Arny & Shinn’s very best pop—ready to give the word, as he well knows how, for the dire ¢ yntest. Counting their Chickens before they are Hatched.—The Washington correspondents of the New York Courier and Times (anti- slaveryites) are just now busy in trying to figure out how the opposition with its huge nominal majority in the chamber, are to be able to get the control of the next House of Representatives. Him of the Courier, after claiming a bare majority for the repeal of the Nebraska bill, intimates that on all other questions it will be impossible apparently for any wing of the opposition to poll a majority vote; and 8 it is exceedingly doubtful whether the friends of the Administration will not secure the organization. Such is the sub- stance of his views in the premises. Him of the Times, so famous for jumping to conclu- sions on slight and ridiculous data, claims that the House will consist of 156 anti-Ne- braskaites and 78 opponents of repeal, and promises to control the Senate, if his friends in the House will only hold out to the end. His promise is worth about as much as the pros- pect that his hope with reference to what will prove to be the complexion of the House on the Nebraska bill when they come together is likely to be realized. Indeed, both these writers make no allow- ance whatever for the absolute necessity rest- ing on all the southern representatives—if they ever expect to return home—to defend their constituents against the ultra and naked abo- litionism as the result of the success of the ef- forts to re-enact the Missouri restriction, avow- ed as the purpose of nine-tenths of those who are urging the re-enactment. Nor do they make the least allowance for the votes of those northern members who, having oprosed the en- actment of the Nebraska bill, are equally op- posed to the idea of repealing it; of whom there are more or less, as will be found in due sea- son. Gentlemen, you are indeed counting your chickens before they are hatched! Departed.—We are gratified to hear that our estimable fellow citizen, Col. Wm. W. Seaton, long one of the editors and proprietors of the National Intelligencer, has gone to Europe on a tour for relaxation and observa- tion, and, we take it for granted, to visit his daughter, the wife of the American Minister at Stockholm, who has long been absent from this country. Col. Seaton carries with him the kindest re- gards and best wishes of all his fellow citizens, for all know his intelligence, public spirit, and public and private worth, as demonstrated by nearly a half a century of active identification, not only with American public affairs, as one of the conductors of perhaps, we may justly call it, the leading newspaper in the Union, but with the municipal and local affairs of this city which he has served as its chief mag- istrate, and of which he has been, almost throughout its whole existence, a leading, public spirited and truely benevolent citizen. More Work.—We are glad to learn that the contractors for furnishing the marble for the addition to the General Post Office building, now being constructed, have commenced its delivery in this city. Yesterday, two carloads were received from the quarries near Balti- more, from which the marble is tocome which is to be worked into the faces on Seventh and Eighth streets. A cargo of that for the face on F street is expected very shortly to arrive from Massachusetts, the bill of lading for it having reached Washington. The receipt of this material will promptly cause, we appre- hend, a demand for the services of more or less of the stone-cutters of Washington, George- town, and Alexandria, who are now, unfortu- nately, out of work; which is good news, in- deed. Good Fishing.—Just now there is glorious Sport, for the disciples of old Isaak Walton, at Aquia Creek. A few days since a party, consisting of a gentleman and two ladies, took eleven dozen fine, luscious white perch, with hook and line, down there, in an hour’s fish- ing. Only think on’t, ye jolly anglers! To get there, for a day’s sport with rod and line, one should go down in the early morning trip of the Potomac river boat, and arrive at about ten a.m. After fishing all day, and enjoying a hearty supper at the hotel near the steamer’s landing place, return in the night boat, reach- ing home by day break. The cost of the round trip ticket, we hear, is but $2. Boats, bait, and pilots can be procured at the creek, on demand, and at reasonable rates. The Fair of the Maryland Mechanics’ In- stitute.—We understand that the prepara- tions being made for the next annual fair of this so-interesting institution are on the am- plest scale. The direction are determined that it shall be unsurpassed in all its branches by anything of the kind ever occurring in this country. Hon. Joshua Vansant, the president of the institute, is now in this city, (at the Kirkwood House,) whither he has come to pro- cure from the Government certain articles pro- posed to be exhibited in the great October show. changes | have recently taken place in the office of the Sam, Miss Barnes, Edmun Bohn’s child, Eliza Griffin and Mary Brad; - Lizzie Taylor, Wm.

There is no abatement of the dreadful scourge either in Portsmouth or Norfolk, and each additional mail brings news of increased euffering in the two places. The following deaths have occurred in Nor- folk since our last report : Jerry Vaugh, Miss Frazier, Miss Camp, W. T. Tullock, Miss Etherage, John Parker, Mr. Demot, Mrs. Stewart, Geo: K. Lee, ne; A. James, Mrs. Among the 250 persons now down, are Henry A. iss Caroline Almond, Thomas J. house, Wm. Insell, Miss Margaret Kennedy, s, and Wm. Steel. Capt. R. W. Bowden, W. H. Broughton, and . Harwood are convalescent. The Rev. T.G. Keen (a Baptist preacher who hasso nobly volunteered, from Petersburg) writes from Norfolk, on the 2Ist, as follows : “I learn from the physicians here that nearly 90 per cent. recover—that is out of every 60 or 70 cases, not more than 15 or 20 die. This is certainly small mortality, and Dr. Stone pronounces the fever comparatively mild. There is surely every reason for en- The physicians have evidently now got the master of the disease, so far as we can apply this to any human instrumentality. I certainly anticipate an abatement of the epidemic soon.’ A correspondent of the Baltimore American, under date of August 23, writes as follows : ‘* A Sabbath stillness prevails, broken only by the rattle of the doctor’s chaises, and the rumbling of the hearse and sick wagon. Scarce- ly a store is open on Main street, Market square, or Broad Water street, the business portions of the city. The apothecaries have removed with their pills, bills, plasters, and drugs, to their residences, and mirahile dictu! 80 have the brokers! There is not a quorum of directors in either of the banks; only two oc three of the city fathers are in the city; preachers look around their churches in vai for their parishioners; newspapers daily accu- mulate on door-steps and on porches for want of readers; gaunt poverty stalks abroad with downeast look and tearful eye; the wail of the widow and of the orphan startles the solitary passenger, and all is gloom and grief, almost without hope. Never has Norfolk received such a visitation before. The orders of the Howard Association to the pvor for the last two days have called for at least $1.200 worth of provisions. $600 worth a day, affording relief to thrice as many people. There will be no falling off to-day either, if I may judge from the numbers who crowd the rooms of the Association, waiting their turn to be served. I think it will be fuir to estimate, that with one half our white population ab- sent, there are #¢ least 600 families in the city dependent on charity for their support—(3,000 people.) On the Portsmouth stile of the river, thee wore twenty-three deaths for the 24 hours end- ing at 1 p. m. Of the four hundred sick we have the names of but few. Com. Barron, U. 8. N., Captain Simms, U 8. M. C., Drs. Schoolfield, Parker, and Maupin, are convalescent. George W. Chambers, John W. Collins, James @. Holla- day, Rey. Thomas Hume, Rey. Mr. Devlin, Drs. Lovett and Spratley, are sick. On Monday night, 2 woman, sick of the fever, at the United States Hospital, was de- livered of a child, the color of saffron. The child lives, but the mother has died. Dr. Tragien writes from Portsmouth to the Petersburg Express, as follows : Porrsaoura, August 21. It is now nine o’clock, p. m., and I have just got back to my office, after being inces- santly engaged since 5 o’clock this morning. I have seen and prescribed for over 100 pa- tients to-day, and every moment new calls are made upon me, and the most urgent entreaties used to induce me to see a father, mother, brother, or other friend But I ean go no further. I am completely exhausted, and must have a little rest to enable me to resume the duties of the morrow, if perchance, I am mye spared in health. x: am no alarmist, and have no disposition to ®. rate, and certainly no wish to harrow the feelings of any one by the recital of soenes of distress; but it would sicken any oxe to know what is now transpiring in our town. Whole families are down, without the ability in many cases to procure a drop of water to cool their fevered lips. Alas! alas!! for poor Portemouth. Oh! God how long! I wrote you yesterday a note designed for ublication, beseeching medical aid. I know i must require an amount of courage by few, to venture thus seemingly into the jaws of death to rescue others. But is there no devoted man—no gall@nt soul—who will say I will go. Twoor three physicians I see have volunteered for Norfolk, where the med- ical corps is larger than in this place. Shall r stricken Portsmouth be left to her fate. Forbid it Heaven—forbid it humanity! ’Tis a Macedonian cry, ‘Come over and help us !”” 1 have several patients who will die to-night —they can’t survive until morning. The ter- tible vomito has presented itself in their cases, and they are doomed. At the hospital there are near 200 sick, in- cluding about 80 persons belonging to the ser- vice. Drs. John Morris, Chas. H. Rose, and Chas. A. Leas left Baltimore, yesterday, for Norfolk, having volunteered their services for the yel- low fever districts—making five physicians who have so nobly gone forward to assist their worn-out medical brethren. Cases of the yellow fever have appeared in King and Queen, Gloucester and Matthews counties, and on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The persons attacked, however, were from Norfolk or Portsmouth. The citizens of oy poops Va., in town meeting assembled, have resolved to assist the sufferers by the yellow fever in Norfolk and Portsmouth ; and pee their willingness to extend to them, without quarantine oo mas tions, such hospitality as their city affords.
