The Union disposes of Mr. Perry’s silly and self-sufficient complaint that the State Depart- ment left him eight months without commu- nicating with him on the subject of this Gov- ernment’s rolations with Spain, by proving that the United States were really only eight dsys without s superior in their Spanish lega- tion, to that modest gentleman, saying : “A brief reference to the record will test Mr, Perry’sveracity Mr. Soule took leave ~of Sacer betwee the 23th of January and 2d of February, 1855. At that time Mr. Per- 7y’s character of a diplomat at Madrid com- meneced. But prior to the departure of Mr- Soule—to wit, on the 16th of January, 1855. Air. Breckinridge was nominated and con- firmed as Mr Scoule’s successor, and he was regarded as (he Minister to Spain until the Sth of February, i655, Mr. Dodge was notified of his appeiaiment as Minister to Spain, and on the 2d of May he sailed for his post, where he arrived about the middie of that month. It will be seen, then, that from the departure of Mr. Soule until the arrival of Mr. Dodge was but little over Aree months; and yet Mr. Perry's ‘Diplomatic History’ represents him as being ‘eeght months—those stormy times’— without receiving ‘ one /tne’ from Mr. Marey, though struggling against most appalling diffi- culties! It will be seen that there was not eight days, much lesa efght months, during whieh we had no minister appointed to Spain. and we hardly suppose Mr. Perry would ex- pect Mr. Marcy to address instructions to him whilst we had a minister to the Spanish court. The Union then goes on to dispute the still more niodest boast of Mr. Perry, that he suc- ceeded in settling all the questions in issue between the two Governments after Mr. Soule’s depcrture; repeating the information pub- lished some months since in the Star, that despite the boast of Mr. P., the only question between the two Gevérnments that has really been settled is the Black Warrior case, with the errargement of which he (Perry) had no more to do, if as much, as the clerk in the De- partment who drew up, aceording to his in- structions, the papers in the case forwarded from Washington to Madrid. The Jutelligencer, again approaching the subject of the re-organization of tho Whig party, of the prospect and action of its political friends in Massachusetts : ‘We had ceeasion some days ago to con- gratuiste our readers, from Intications observ- able in some of the journals of the State of Mareachusetts, that the unchanged Whigs of that State were about to rally with an ap- parent determination that their aggregate trength should be brought into the field at the approsebing election for State officers.

A tre- juendous crash of harmony may be expected. poem in ques- for some time to no compelled to give it up as valley by the The Organization of no little excitement on this subj business (circles) as well as political circles here. All, however, to be..at fault. We find no two uétially accounted shrewd cal- culators in these particular matters, who seem to agree as to the probabilities in this partieu- lar connection, The Democratic shrewd ones appear to hope for little in the matter of the Speaketehip and Clerkship, yet resolved tola- bor for much. They and their friends in and out of the House will work like moles to place Jas. L. Orr, Howell Cabb, Glancy Jones, Wm. L. Richardson, or some other of their leading men in the position, and secretly have strong hopes of success, based on the well-known fact that their party will be by far the strongest of the four or five parties in the Hall; and on the additional fact that their opponents are, enough of them, so wide asunder in principles and ir- terest as to make it very probable that ama- jority cannot be induced to combine against them, in favor of any man or measure. We regard the idea, on their part, of se- riously striving to control the organization of the House, bad policy; unless they may be certain that after having obtained it, they can work with the same majority which may vote for their candidate for the Speakership. Hf they could possibly calculate on holding a ma- jority through the session, they could not do better than to secure the Speakership. Their eh2nce for carrying a majority after the ses- sion has progressed for some months, is better than that of starting out with one. If they make the Speaker, the opposition will have far more inducements, and be far better prepared to combine against them, than if an opposition Speaker is chosen; which will be the signal for wide breaches in the opposition, to commence within a week after the standing committees are announced. Those familiar with the un- published history of legislation in Washington will comprehend at a glance what we here re- fer to, and will know that we are correct in declaring that the prospect for the triumph of whatever measures the party in power may essay, will be decidedly best with an oppo- sition Speaker in the chair; in which case the opposition members, individually, disappoint- ed concerning positions on committees, and those differing. politically, with the faction triumphing in the Speaker’s clection, and in the appointment of committees, will (numbers of them) instinctively, if not indirectly, com- bine with the Democrats to carry, each set, someone and another of.their measures dis- tasteful to the Speaker and his friends. We have seen this state of things so repeat_ edly; that we now calculate upon its recurrence almost with unerring certainty. As a matter of political policy, we sincerely believe that it will be best for the Democrats in the next Presidential election, (as they are to be fortified with a much larger number than usual of ex- tremely adroit and powerful, as well as expe- rienced, men on the floor,) if they commence the session in the position of the party not re- sponsible for the legislation of the House. As for the Clerkship, we consider that question settled in favor of Gen. Cullom, who, as mat ters now stand, bids fair to be elected on the first ballot, if be will accept the office; being about the only man named, who, while com- bining every vote of the opposition from the North. (except, possibly, the little band of im- mediate personal followers of Mr. Fillmore, of whom there will be perhaps three from New York,) may also reasonably caleulate on re- ceiving the votes of the Southern opposition members, A Stew.—Our neighbors cf Georgetown are just nowina very decided hubbub over the Metropolitan Railroad question ; crimination aud re-crimination being the order of the hour, among and between the leaders of their rail- road and anti-railroad parties. The whole of the trouble seems to have grown out of the very short sighted and selfish policy of the Maryland Legislature, in insisting on putting a clause in the charter of the Metropolitan Railroad virtually forbidding its construction» unless extended from the proposed terminus, to Hagerstown, &c.; in which the region of eoun- try immediately interested has not shown the desire for the work that might be drawn from subseriptions (even small ones) to the stock. The policy of Georgetown, it strikes us, is to procure next wintes, et Annapolis, the repeal of the foolish condition above referred to. Unless that be done, we fancy that the Metro- politan Railroad will prove ‘‘no go,’’ and that Georgetown will be compelled to seek her rail- road connection with the more Southerly lincs —the Loudon and Hampshire, and Alexandria and Orange, and Virginia Central, and Ten- neasee roads, which she could accomplish realiy with more certainty of benefit to her own future, it appears to us, and with proba- bly not a tithe of the cost of making the con- nection with the great West by means of a braneh road to intersect the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Maseachusetts State Fusion Convontion.— Adispatch from Boston. dated the 20th instant, says: “The Fusion Convention met at Worcester, and elected N. P. Banks president. On the second ballot Julius Rockwell received six majority over all as candidate for Governor. The nomination was finally unanimous. The present Licutevant-Governor, Treasurer. and Auditor were re-nominated. Mr. Sloan was nominated for Attorney General. The ad- dress declares the slayer: ion paramou: to all others.’ 4 anege #1 ‘The nomination of Julius Rockwell is avery strong one. In his long service in Congress, he proved himself to be a statesman and a man of emphatically eonziderate purposes. If Massachusetts must be in the hands of ‘“Re- publicanism’’ in a black domino, it will be fortunate that her chief ruler is to be sucha manas Mr. R. With our personal knowledge of the man, however, we wonder greatly that he has finally embarked his political fortunes in the Abolition ship. The Extension of ths Capitol Building The work on this magnificent building pro- gresees steadily, developing almost daily sompthing mote, 17 esse, of the grand and beautiful plan on wath it is to be constructed. A well-informed gentleman, Who has recently made the tour of Europe, remarked to "2, a day or two since, after carefully inspecting many of the detailed plans of the work, that taking into consideration its situation, mate- rials, &c., the modern world will contain noth- ing besides, in the shape of a building, tocom- “| pare with it, when completed, in grandeur, elegance, good taste, and the scientific and mechanical skill displayed in its construction. It will be a monument of the eminence of our enginoers, architects, artists énd artisans of this particular age, such as will exist “in after times in no other country whatever, as worthy of striking future nations and generations with awe; and as ifie pyramids are to the minds oC eZee firing oa the caste. Wi write in sober earnest on this subject, as will be fally appreciated so sgon as the work has sufficiently progressed to permit those who view it casually)to comprehend the minute style of finish and completeness of the whole vast pile. — < Chango of the Railroad Trains from Wash- ington.—It will be perceived from ‘an adver- tisement in to-day’s Star, that changes are to ‘be made on Monday next in the Baltimore con- nections of the trains from this city. Ashere- tofore, passengers by the 6 a. m. trainmay go immediately to Philadelphia, or through to New York. Those who take the 8 30 a. m. train, must remain in Baltimore until 1 p. m. to go even as far North as Philadelphia. The 3 p. m. train from this city is to be the after- noon through-mail train to New York; and the 4 30 p. m. train (heretofore the through North- ern mail express train) is to proceed no farther North than Baltimore; though it will continue to be the train by which passengers going West by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will leave Washington.

There is no abatement in the ravages of the yellow fever scourge either in Norfolk or Ports- mouth. The number of deaths in Norfolk, on Wednesday, are reported to have been thirty, and about the same number up to 12m. on Thursday. In Portsmouth, on Wednesday, there were fourteen deaths, and oleven up to 12 m. on Thursday. ‘The following are the names of some of the victims in Norfolk : Cant. C. Thier, Newton Armatead, Joseph C. Addington’s daughter, Capt. Armstrong, Edward Howlett and wife, Miss Olivia Briggs, Benj. Watlington, Edward James, Horace Dewry. Win.

Watts, Mrs. Caleb Butt, and Martha Pan. Col. Ferguson, the very efficient President of the Howard Association, to whom all looked up for guidance and direction, and who has been most indefatigable and seif-sacrificing in his efforts to melivrate the condition of his suf- fering fellow citizens, was seriously ill, and the most painful apprehensions were cnter- tained that he would not recover. Dr. Gor- don’s recovery is regarded hopeless. Richard B Tunstall, Wm. Seymour, Miss Delany, Wm. Reed, Benj. Quick, Capt. Hicks, Caieh Bonsal, and John D. Gordon, are very ill. Edward Delany is out. Thos. White, of the city police, is convslercing, and will be out in afew days. Dr. Capree and Miss Wal- lace. (nurse,) from New York, and Mrs. Ed- ward Delk, were attacked on Thursday. Drs, Tunstall and Blow are extremely ill; the lat. ter has had the b'ack vemit. Several physicians and nurses. who have re- cently arrived from the.North, have been sent back. The authorities in Norfolk have suffi cient sick on their hands, and they think it impolitie to import fresh victims. Thos. Corprew, Esq., who is himself scarce) convalescent from a severe attack of fever, is rendering valuable assistance by assuming some of President Ferguson’s duties. The death of Dr. Geo. L. Upshur, who was one of the main stays of the suffering people of Norfolk, is a subject of universal lamentation and sorrow. He was a young man, of fine talent, and aniversally esteemed by all classes of the community. He attended the first cases in Barry's Row, and for seventy days labored unremittingly in his profession until he him- self fell a victim to the insatiate destroyer liis memory is enshrined in the hearts of many.

Dr. Scott's ex- perience has been very great, and his erudi tion is equal to his experience. We believe he is inclined to regard with a favorable the new system of inoculation for yellow fever, which has been extensively and successfully practised this year. In moro than three thous- and cases, we understand, its beneficial effects have been tested, and assuredly, with such a fact before our eyes, we should not treat the theory with contempt, merely because it is a novelty.*” RiceMoxDd axp rae Yettow Fever.—We believe that the reports about the fever being in Richmond, as an epidemic, have nearly all died out. There have been fifteen cases of yellow fever in this city, every one of which was imported from the infected cities. They were attended by our physicians and nursed by our nurses, xot one of whom has taken the disease. Thore have been some three cases withia the city, likewise imported, and in not asingle case has the fever been com- municated to any cne. This is sufficient to rove that the disease is utterly innocucious in our atmosphere.—Richmond Dispatch of yesterday.
