SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer quotes a number of the English papers to show the state of feeling in Epgiand over the victory before Sebastopol, saying: “‘No event since the day of the battle of Waterloo bas produced such undisguised ex- pressions of satisfaction throughout the Bri- tish empire. In every town and city of im- portance there were bonfires, illuminations, ard public rejoicings at the news. don press is jubilant at the victory. The Times regards it as little short of the accom- plishment of the objects ofthe war. The Ga- zette declares that ‘the fall of Sebastopol is tho fall of Russia,” and thinks that ‘such a blow to Russia is the destruction of her pres- tige, and will do more to enfeeble her armies sud enervate her resources than a hundred victories in the open field.” Tbe Post thinks the Russians cannot seriously injure the Al- lies from Northe-n Sebastopol ”’ The Union, diseusing the union of the Re- publican end begus Whig conventions recently held at Syracuse, says: “The recent inan; tion of the ‘* Repub- licen’’ movement in New York by the fusion of the Abolitionists and the Whigs, under the auspices of Sewardiem, is a bold and alarming step in the progress of disunion. It matters not that that step is taken with strong profes- sions of attachment tothe Union. These pro- fessions sre made to impose upon the more timid of thore who are seduced into the coali- tion. The traitor who makes open and undis- guised warfare upon the constitution and tho Union is less dangerous than he who plots se- cret hostility to the confederacy by appealing eal prejudices for the promotion of a sec- al party, whilst he seeks to hide his real n under profession of patriotic regard for enstitution. We have disunionists at the North and at the South, and we have those who are brazen enough to avow their treason 23 well as those who sku!k behind a pretended Patriotism but concoct schemes more perilous than the out-spoken disunionists.”’ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSBIP. Tweedle-dum and Iweedle-dee.—The his- “Worian of the New York Herald bas us at fault—in sporting phrase—in our recent allu. sions to the finale of -‘ Citisen Genct’s viola- lation of tho neutrality laws of the United States.” As the Herald says, Genet did not in person leave the territory of the United States; but Washington, on account of his violation of our laws in question, caused the American minister at Paris, Mr. Morris, to demand his reeall for the specific reason noted above. So faras the action of this Govern- ment was concerned, he was sent out of the United States diplomatioally,though not corpo- rally. The precedent of Washington’s action is as clearly defined as thongh we had been correct, when, failing to recollect that though he was officially recalled, he refused to re- turn toPrance, und settling down ir the inte- rior cf New York, married a Miss Clinton, and became a citizen of the United States. He viclated our neutrality Jaws at the command of bis government. Washington, for that act, demanded his reoall, aud shortly after that demand was made, he was officially recalled; the Herald says beeauce his opponents, who about that time obtained power, wished to peta friend in his stead. Whether that was the ostensible reason for his reeall or not, makes net the least difference. The Government of the United States de manded his recall for a totally different reason, snd Jefferson, the head of the party whom the Herald says justified and approved his conduct, himself wrote the indignant and elo- quent dispatch in which his recall was de- mended. His official functions were brought toanerd by the Government of the United States, a: far as demanding his recall, and if Robespierre had not ousted the Girondists at that time, it would havo been all the same, so far 25 Gevet’s official functions in America were concerned. The Herald, though very Properly correcting us asto the fact that Genet did not, im person, leave the United States, sceus to be anxious to deceive the public as to the action of the Government of the United State the cae. Washington, on account of violation of our laws, involving on his part a more grievous violation of the good faith cf a dipicmatist, insisted, in indignant and peremptory terms, on his recall, and it was promptly accorded. The New York £zpress, in commenting on the recent trial of Herts and his companion in he violation of our neutrality laws, says, with great force indeed : ‘These men, however, it is pretty clearly thown in evidence. have been bat the instru- ntsof the ‘eminent Britich functionaries’ alluded to. The testimony elicited poiuts with tclezable certainty to Mr. Crampton, as an ac- tive, though all the while carefully invisible egent in the business, and to the Nova Scotia governor, asits chief engineer. Judge Kene, in bis charge to the jury, confirms this view of the case, and, while instructing the jury tuuch- iug this part of mt the evidence, ex passant, ad- sters a severe but just rebuke to persons ese notions of personal and official honor are of 8» loose a kind, as to aid and abet the perpetration of a misdemeanor, particularly of the magnitude of a State prison offence. . g by the sffront foreign functiona- 8 + to our national dignity, it is not difivuit to imagine a condition of things, whereby such a flagrant violation of the nreu- trality laws might peril «ven the peace of the country. If we permit it, or make no effort to prevent it, Russie is furnished with valid ground of ceplaint against us; for if her en- emies are permitted to open recruiting offices, in all car large cities, under the superintend- euce ef their Ministers 2nd Consuls, we are substentinliy in alliance against her, no mat- ter how protuse may be our professions of neu- trality. Place ourselves, fur a moment, in the same position, and what view would we be likely to take of the matter? Suppose the United States are at war with Mexi 20,—and the Mexican Minister to England takes itupon himself, in coujunction with the Governor- General of Cauada, to open offices for the enlistment of troops in j aati Liverpool, Birmingham, ester, etc. The sort of “neutrality ou the part of the British Gov- ernment, that would countenance such thin: b we should be apt to examine rather rigidly” andtor . AM explanation of,—and in case that exp {ol Was not forthcoming; we dare sy, sar au ae voice of the country would emand that the a cessory,—England —! identified with the principal, Mexico, Ps Wor we are ongaged in.’’ Whit is he doing here ?—It is not a little amusing to read the speculations of the quid muncs of the New York Herald and other nertLeru wonder-mongering newspapers over the recent presence of ‘‘ Prince’? John Van Buren in Washington. Tho Prince is @ great man in his way. Go whither he will, political importance is sure to be attributed to his peri- grinatious by railroad ard steamboat, though it is notorious to those who are familiar with his Labits that he has almost entirely discon- uevted himself from the duty, or amusement, of watching and coeagionally stirring the bub- bling and seething political caldron; devoting himself with great earnestness and success to the practice of his profession of the law. We believe, on data in which we place entire con- fidence, that, with the exception of the part Bie bore in the recent Democratic State con- vention at Syracuse, the Prince has not min- gled in a political caucus of any kind for at least a year. But we have now to deal with his s0-recent visit to Washington, attributed by the guid nunes aforesaid to the purpose, on his part, of political cahoodling. We ap- prehend that desperate hunters after a para- graph were never before more essentially off the scent of the truth. The Prince is counsel for certain holders of Mexican bonds—gentlemen who, having got their pawinto the lion’s (Santa Anna’s) mouth, have, for more than a year past, been beseeching the Government of the United States to help them to withdraw it in safety. They advanced “large sums to Santa Anna in his late palmy days, taking the obligations of his Government that they should be repaid out of the money coming to it from the United States, on the completion of the boundary sur- vey, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Ere his power passed away, they foresaw that the party that would oust him would probably respect none of his obligations or those of Mexico, and have sent deputation after depu- tation of the ablest lawyers in New York to Washington to argue the authorities here into the opinion that they should become, in some way or other, sponsors for Santa Anna's obli- gations to them; Prince John usually being at their head. We have not heard, and, so far, do not soon expect to hear, that they have suc- eceded in persuading the President and Cabi- net that the money can be paid to any others than those who may chance to be wielding the Government of Mexico at the completion of the Survey, or to attempt to make any conditions whatever as to the manner in which the latter shall dispose of it. The gentlemen bondholders went into the speculation of their own accord— not by the advice of their Government; and, it seems to us, must have strange notions of public affairs, in fancying that the authoritics here can become the guarantors of Mexico, or the directors of the management of that State’s finances. The State of Politics in Pennsylvania — The recent withdrawal of the name of Pass- more Williamson as the candidate of the “‘ Re- publican’’ party of Pennsylvania for Canal Ccmmissioner, effected a few nights since ata conference between the Whig and Repub- lican State committees at Harrisburg, and the joint nomination in his stead of Nichol son, a staunch Whig, bids fair, we apprehend, to strengthen the opposition to Arnold Plum mer, the Democratic candidate, who would havo beaten Williamson full sixty thousand votes, beyond question. There were, not long since, three oppesition tickets (against the Democrats) in the field—the Republican tick- et, the “Native American’’ ticket, and the Whig ticket. The action of the State commit- tees above referred to, is regarded here as a formal fusion of the firzt and last above named parties, similar in effect to that which took Place un the day before yesterday, at Syra- cuse, for the State of New York. We question much whether they can beat Plummer by any possible combination, however. The Know Nothings proper of Pennsylvania, being re- duced to a mere handful, have made no nomi nations, and will not attempt tv make any, but will “* scatter’ their “ fire,’’ voting some for one, and others for another of the opposition tickets. The election comes off on Tuesday week, next. P.S. We have just learned that the with- drawal of Passmore Williarson’s namo was effected in a secret convention of the Abolitior ’ Whig, Republican and Johnson Know Notk- ing parties at Harrisburg; and, as a conse- quence, that the union between these three isms is complete. The ‘Philadelphia Plat- form’’ men, who may vote 10,000 strong in the State, but not possibly more, will hardly go with them. The Alexandria Canal.—An cfiicer of the Alexandria Canal Company has informed us that the accident upon that work, noticed by us some time since as having caused the loss of traveling days to a long line of canal boats, was occasioned, not by carelessness or misman- agement on the part of any one whatever in the company’s employment, but by want of due care on the part of the skipper of a coal boat who stove and sunk his boat in a position wherein it was impossible, for some days to raise her, or to get her out of the way of other boats. While ail this may be very true; and while, we doubt not, the superintendent of this branch canal faithfully does all in any man’s power to prevent such occurrences, it strikes us with much force that such an accident with such a disastrous result to the business of all those navigating the canal, could not have oc- curred on the New York and Erie Canal. We are anxious to hail the time whe from Alex- andria to Cumberland, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal shall be as well managed and as profitably used as that of any other similar improvement in the world. Public opinion, and that great lever only, can work the ne- cessary reforms. It must be made to reach the great cause of all the trouble and injury to the business interests involved in the man- agement of this canal—the Maryland Board of Publio Works. Could we regulate such mat- ters, we would not have a vote thrown bya citizen of any county interested in the proper management of the canal, for any legislative or public works candidate, whatever may be his polities, not pledged to labor zealously to meke the State Government's policy, with reference to the canal, an honest and sensible one, as it has not been up to this time. The Elections To-day.—Goorgia, to-day, elects members of Congress and a Governor. This is also the day set for the election of a delegate from Kansas to Congress, by the Territorial Legislature. The Free Scil party of the Territory, to test the legality of their Legislature, they say, have agreed to hold an election to-morrow, thus bringing the question before the House of Representatives of the United States. Even if they procure a vote of the House ignoring the right of the Legis- lature to discharge legislative functions, they, of course, cannot get a vote of that body legalizing their electior; insomuch, as the Free Soil party of the territory have no more right to order an election for a delegate to Congress, than has an Abolition Convention in Massachusetts or Connecticut. Can't Stand It.—The New York Commer- cial Advertiser takes strong grounds against the action of the recent bogus Whig State Con- Yeution at Syracuse, New York, in essaying formally, to drop the name of Whig and merge the Whig party into the new Republican or- ganization. That journal declares that the real Whigs ef the State will seout their action. 6 ee. | eee” The Courser and Enquirer, too, retraces its late hasty, and, as it admits, ill-advised steps towards union with the Abolitionists. Such action on its part is significant of the repudia- tion of the “ Republican” ticket and by almost the entire body of Whig merchants of New York city. The Courier says that ite late erratic course was taken in the hope of thus bringing about the restoration of the Missouri restriction, which purpose baving been fully and formally abandoned by tke new organization, it washes its hands of that party. Neither the Trisune nor the Times are in any manner regarded as indises of the views of any considerable portion of the Whig mérchants of the city. So, their affection for the new organization has no significance what- ever with which the importers, stock operators and jobbers, of the city may be even indi- rectly connected. The Very Last Political Name.—The New York Herald waggishly calls the “ come-out- ers’’ from the Hards, under the lead of Daniel E. Sickles, Esq., the “ Half Shells,’’ in cox- tradistinction to the ‘‘ Hard Shell’’ on the one hand, and the “ Soft Shells’? on the cther. The joke isin the quaint appropriateness of the appellation. It seems to be thought that the Half Shells entertain the idea of demandiag that the regular organization in Tammany Hall shall admit them formally to co-equal positions in the organization of the party in the city. This can hardly be so, as the idea is refreshing. Their plan to get back into sach positions, is to win their way back there atthe primary elections, where the field is as open to them as to any others in the party. Barking up the Wrong Tree.—A correspond ent of the Organ is incorrect in representing Mr. Jas. Maguire, of this city, asa special agevt of the Post Office Department, with which he has no connection whatever, direct or indirect He was employed by the Post Office Depart ment, perhaps a year ago, as & route agent fer two trips with the California mails. In no other way, and at no other time, has the gen- tleman in question been connected with oren - ployed by the Department. The reader can see, from this brief statement, the true valre of the cock-and-bull-story of some correspon- dent of the American Organ, wherein Mr. Maguire is represented as an agent of the Post Office Department to hunt up political offend- ers—and all that sort of balderdash. Promoted and Appointed.—Mr. Edmund P. Gaines has been promoted to a Third Class clerkship in the Appointment Bureau of the Post Office Department, and Mr. Jonathan Guest, of Maryland, has been appointed to the Second Class, ($1,400 per annum) clorks ship, made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Gaincs. Bropped.—The following temporary clerks (at $1,200 per annum) of the Pension Bureau, have been dropped, there being no longer em ployment for them, viz : Messrs. John Smith, Arthur Cooper, F. M. Ewell, and Marinus Willett. Transferred —Messrs. 0.M.

ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALexanaua, Oct. 1, 1855. A delightful morning greets us after the heavy rain of yesterday. Yesterday, notwithstanding the gore of the weather, our churches were well filled. The revivals at the Methodist churches are progressing with undiminished fervor. Business grows brisker as the season ad- Meare: and we have tho promise of a good fall trade. At eleven o’clock to-day the fall term of the County Court for this county opens at the court house. But little business of general interest is on the docket. Tho sheriff advertises for sale this morning, in front of the court house, a large amount of real estate, for taxes. The members and friends of the Friendship Fire ise sap are straining every nerve to make their festival, which opens early next month, the finest thing of the kind ever held in this city. The taste, skill, and energy of the managers give them a resage of success. The Virginia Car Manufacturing Company have just turned out two of the finest freight locomotives (the Leopard and the Panther) ever built in this country. They well merit iene of any one interested in rail- roads. Flour, $8.25. Wheat—Red, $1 75a$1.80 ; white, $1.87a$1.92. Corn, Rye, 75a80s.
