EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: ‘Y AFTERNOON.....Cctober 4 U>-Apventisemenrs should be handed in by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not ap- pear until the next day. oo SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is highly gratified with the action of the recout Massachusetts Whig State Convention. J. Thomas Stevenson, esq., the President, on taking the chair, delivered an able address, from which, to show its tone and temper, we extract as follows: “He enid that they had been sent up here to nominate good, steadfast, and unseduced Whigs for all offices to be filledat the coming election. They had no new principles to avow, 0 bew doctrines to promulgate, no new lights as guides into new channels or as allurements into the rocks and shoals. It was their duty to nominate a Whig Governor for the Whig State of Massachusetts. The Whigs stood, as they ever stood, on their old foundations, dee and broad enough for the whole country, aa they will not, at the bidding of any leaders, undertake to entrench themselves in any cas- Weer of the air, no matter how gorgeous the clouds upon which they rest. He spoke at Jongth in denunciation of the new fusion move- ment, which he called an old party under a new alias, and declared that in regard to the slavery question within the limits of the Con- stitution no step of the Whigs will be wantirg, and without its limits no step will be taken In conclusion he said, some argue that the Whig party is dead; but they would find fire in its ashes and life in its shade. Those Whi who have joined the Fusion party would soon be tired of the crooked paths they will have to travel, and be back to the old homestead. If, however, the old Whig ship is to go down, be would rather down with her, with the fleg of the Union flying at her mast-head, than t ve left to etruggle for life in mid-o-ean oa a single plank, with the mutinous crew who bad eonttied and deserted her. Under the old ship's flag, emblazoned on one side with Ged save the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts,” and upon the other ‘God save the Uni- ted States of America,’ a victory would he worth glorying in, and a defeat would be with- out dishonor.” Tke fcllowing is the Iutelligencer’s sum- mary of the resolutions adopted, viz: “They declare that the Whig party should now, more than ever, keep itself from entar- @ling alliances; that they are now, as ever, ‘ae party of the Constitution. They repu- diate the * personal liberty bill,’’ passed by tbe late Legislature of Massachusetts, aid advocate its erasure from the statute-book ; they declare that.the present liquor law is a feiture, and go for « law which is constitu- tional and will promote the cause of temper- ance; that the pryanization of a Northern Betivns! party on the single issue of opposi- tion to slavery would endanger the existence of the Union. and the defeat of it would par- alyze the existence of the Northern sentiment. if a univn of parties should ever become nc- cessary, it must be s union of national patri- ots of all parties of the Union to resist the ag” griseion of fenaticism."’ The following is the ticket for State officers then and there nominated : Governor—Hon. Samuel H. Walley Lieutenant Governor—Moses Davenport. Seoretary of State—W. T. Davis. ‘torney General—Reuben A. Chapman. State Treasurer—John Sargent. Auditor—Jos Mitchell. The Union contains an able Philadeiphia latter, from Colonel Forney, we presume, de- the present condition of Pennsylvania and hoping for little aid from the cz the Democrats) in the approaching clection there. It strikes us that he does not Bive sufficient weight to, and place sufficient confidences in, the conservatism of the real Whizsof that State. The Union also repub- lishes one of Mr. Thayer's rose-colored letters {rora San Juan, about tho Kinney expedition, addressed to the United States organ of the fili- busters, the New York Evening Post. Thayer is Kioney’s Scerctary of State. The Union, in republishing tnis letter, fails to express the Administration's emphatic disapprobation of all that Kinney and Walker hare done and are doing in Central America. It is well known toallin Weshington, who will take the trou- ble to converse with any member of the Ad- ministration, that they arc as ewphatically op- posed to the proceedings of the American free- booters in Central America as it is possible for 2 Government to be. Wodeem this statement of the fact necessary, least the public should tesay to corfound the sentiments of the Ad- pinistration on the subject with those of the Union. see WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Effect of the War on Us.—The New York Herald professes to be alarmed least the drain of specie from this country to France and England, occasioned by their necessary war expenditures, may, not long hence, seriously ewhberrass the businers men of the United States, as well! as of all western Europe. We do not profess to bo az fate in the statistics bearing oa the “balance of trade,” &c.; but there are a multitude of plain facts involved in cur current business relations with the Old World, which, together, lead us to very differ- ent incressions from thoze anrounced by the Herald asitsowa. That journal says, truly, that the ageregate amount of American secu- rities held in England is very largo. Yet we d) not see how the money pressure existing there, as the result of the exactions of the Goy- en t to carry on the war, can bring about a decstcd for money for them, to apy consider abies extent England bar so often nd so invariably been bitten by American fancy stocks and other rush American investments, daring the last quarter of a century, as that few worthless Yankee stosks, and Jit'te other non-paying Amoricsn property of spy sort, is owned there 2 tim English investments in the aited States are now almost wholly paying ones—paying too well for capitalists to part wth ‘hem, until they havo parted with nearly trerythiog cise saleable. Wo draw this conclu- sicn only from the fact that moneyed men on tuis side of the Atlantic invariably sell reluc- tently their property that pays best; so we ®uticipate a comparatively small demand on that score. It has at length been determined that the ‘‘come-at-able’’ harvest of England and western Europe is not up to the war wants of that quarter cf the world, and large Eng- lish and Freach orders have come to America, the trade journals expressing great anxiety least our crops of the ceason may not be enfii- lent to supply the demand above referred to. ‘Though cftrerops are large, beyond all pre- cedest, we fecl arsured that our capacity to tupply westem Europe will be taxed to the utmost, and at round prices. Money, or its cquirelent, must be psid for this grain, a large portiva of whivb will stick to the fingers of the merchants, as it should, while the rest will go to make our farmers rich. Or, in other Words, to mako the paymasters of our mer- chouts, manulacturers, and mechanics amply able tu liquidete any possible drafts on them. There never was a time when cur country- men out of the cilies were living more upon thely immediate domestie resouroee—that is, when they were using so little not produced directly by thomselyos. The recent “ tight money market’? may be thanked, perhaps, for this so commendable state of things. We are not afraid that the foreign merchants will get much in debt to ours, which is palpably against the direction of commeree as it has operated since the independence of the colonies began ; nor are we afraid of over importations, whilethe great mass of the patrons of the country mer- chants stick to their present evident determina- tion to run in debt as little as possible. This determination is the safeguard of the im: porters—preventing them from overstocking themzelves and the country, underwthe in- pulse of the great need now resting on Eng- land and France toseliabroad much more than usual. In addition to the war demand for our breadstuffs and other provisions, a war demand for American weapons and other munitions is gradually springing up, as well as one for our shipping, as carriers for Europe—both of which latter must tcll wonderfully on the aggregate of our commerce not long hence, if the wir continues. We can forsee no end to the war—say, none iw ten years. If it continues so long, the pro- fits of the contest are to bo ours, in the main; and wars with all their horrors and losses to those bearing their brunt, are almost invaria- bly profitable in some quarter or other. The United States were never more prosperous in a business point of view than at pres- e:t. Nor can we see a prospect of a disad- vantageous turn to the present condition of affairs. There are other elements that might fairly be brought into this calculation; euch as the effect of war in superinducing the tran - fer of a great deal of active capital from Eu- rope to the United States, &c., which will go to enrich us at the expense of the Old World. Fusion.—The fusion of the Know Nothings, Republicans and Whigs of Pennsylvania ap- pears to be complete ; that is, on paper. It is believed by the leaders of the Johnson or Re- publican wing of the Know Nothings of that State, that the Philadelphia platform men are going with them hear! and soul. We doubt the fact, however, and shallnot be convinced of it until it ie rendered unquestionably by the way in which the votes count out on Tues- day morning next. We are counting on a very large conservative Whig vote against the fasion State candidate in Philadelphia, betiev- iag that there, aud indeed thoughout the State, there are thousands of Whigs who hold senti- ments with a writer in the Journal of Com merce of the day before yesterday, (signing himself ‘a conservative Whig’’) who expres- ses his preference as follows: “Ist. An endorsement and hearty approval of the Nebraska bill, as wise and constitution- al, and tending to confine slavery within State jurisdiction, as it should properly be. “2d. A determined urging upon Congreas of the necessity and propriety of carrying out the above actin its integrity, and the rectify- ing of whatever has heen done in the territory in contravention of its provisivns, as alike due to the territory itself, and to the whole coun- try. “3d. An open, manly, and straightforward endeavor to obtain a repeal or essential modi fication of the existing naturalization laws; abstaining from all interference with the re- ligious convictions or professions of others, as opposed to guaranteed constitutional rights, as well as to every right feeling.” And he adds: “It has become a matter of serious anxiety to all true-hearted lovers of their country, a: to where this sectional agitation will lead and end. It is time that the patriotic and con- fervative feeling of the country should be aroused to utterly ‘“‘crush it out,’’ or I fear that we shall have cause bitterly to lament it. “Can any intelligest and reflecting Ameri- can believe that a thought of separate inter- ests of North and South, or as but part: of a common whole, could for an instant have found a lodgment in the minds of a Washing- ton or Franklin, an Adams or « Jefferson; ani shall we prove less true to our beloved land than they ?”” On the day before yesterday, the conzerya- tive Whigs’ State convention for Massachu- setts, met at Worcester, and took a stand that must have due weight in Pennsylvania, or we are much wistaken, more especially on ac- count of the list of time honored Whig leaders of that State, who are taking the lead in its affairs. Messrs. Winthrop and Choate, neither of whom could be present, sent letters, both fallof significance. The former affirms that! @ finds nothing in the condition of our public affairs to call for the organisation of a mere sectional party, upon a single anti slavery issue. In regard to fusion, he says the move- ment will be attended with danger to the pub- lic, and with ultimate discomfiture to the best interosts of freedom. The latter (Mr. Choate) says in his letter to the Straight Whig State Central Committee : “T assure the Whigs of Boston that I should have regarded it a duty and a privilege, if it had been practicabie, to serve as'one of their delegates. The business which the Conven- tion meet to do, gives it extraordinary attrac- tion, as well as importance. Whether we are dead, as reported in the newspapers, or, if not, whether we shall fall upon our own swords, and die even so, will be a debate possessin, the interest of novelty, at least or one, deny the death, and object to the suicide, and should be glad to witness the indignation and retort with which such a question will be taken.”’ He enters into a brief examination of the fusion platform, exposes its weakness, und de- clares the new organization to be 2 party with- out politics. Even on the question of slavery itself, he says, they are vague and evasive He telis the Whigs to be of good cheer, to stand to the old faith, and to unite with no party “that does not carry the flag, and keep step to the music of the Union.” {t will be perceived that, like ex-Goyernor Hant, these distinguished gentlemen are de- termined to have neither lot nor part in the sale of the Whig party to any faction what- ever, and more especially to the end of bring- ing Abolitionisem into power in the General Government. The interests and sentiments of a large wing of the Whig party in Pennsyl- vania, are identical with theirs, Leyond a doubt, and, we think, cannot fail to tell in the result on Tuesday next with powerful, if gen- erally unexpected, effect. The Georgia Election.—We are still with- out details of the Geoigia clection by tele- graph on which we place sufficient depend- ence to present them to our readers as worthy of their confidence Tbe Know Nothing tcle- graphing agents admit the re-election of Gov. Jehnson by 5,000 majority, as against some 500 majority in his favor at the last previo s Gubernatorial contest there. They claim the election of three Kuow Nothings to Congress out of the eight to be chosen, without saying which three. They may bless their stars, we apprehend, if it turns out that they have one, when the reliable returns turn up. A Mistake.—The etory that Cupt. Heary Heth, of the 10th infantry, who is on special daty with the Sioux expedition, was killed in the recent battle of the Bluewater, is wholly incorrest, though it is traveling around in the newspapers. The War Department have ad vices from Gen. Harney’s Sioux expedition to the 7th of September, four days after the bat- tle. Nothing whatever is said in the dispatch- es leading to the impression that Capt. H. was even wounded, though he is commended by his commanding officer. The command was still at that camp. Removed and Appointed —W. T. R. Saf- fell, a second class clerk in the office of the Third Auditor of the Treasury, has been re- moved, and E. B. Eshelman, of Ohio, has been appointed to a first class permanent clerkship in that bureau. Robert Jones, of Mass., has been appointed to the temporary clerkship (under act of March 3, 1855,) made vacant by the transfer of Mr. Eshelman to the list of permanent clerks of the eame bureau. A Mistake of the Star—The Interior De- | partment clerks dropped last week, for want of employment, were attached to the General Land Office, and not to the Pension Office, as we erroneously stated. They had been doing duty for some weeks in the Pension Bureau, and when they were returned to the Land Of- fice it was found that their services there could be dispensed with. Appointed.—Mr. George A. O. Smith, of New Hampshire, has beon appointed to a first class clerkship in the General Land Office. He is the son of the late Mr. Caleb P. Smith, of the General Land Office, whose place he thus takes. An Army Officer Resigned.—First Lieut. Win. G. Peck, of the corps of topographical | engineers, U. 8. A., has resigned. His resig- nation took effect on the 2d inst. The Current Gperations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 3d of October, there were of Treasury Warrants entered cn the books of the Department— For the redemption of Stocks $19,692 17 For the Treasury Department. 1.233 52 For the Interior Department....+ 7,174 56 War Warrants received and en- tered ccccccccssveeccccesesess 96.107 58 From miscellaneous sources. . 7 00 | On account of the Navy.. + 267,328 75 ee Tae Epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmouth. Owing to the rain on Sunday and Monday there was an increase in the number of new eases and deaths in Norfolk and Portsmouth on the last mentioned day ; but notwithstandiy g the bad weather the fever is gradually dying out. The following are among the victimes in Nor folk: iY H. B. Bagnall, N Hosier, Miss Delao-, Mr. Talford, Mrs. Dobbs, Miss Ann Colley Elizabeth F. Clegg, Miss Whitehurst. Master Cuilender; Dr. Henry Selden, (died at Hamp- ton.) A lett>r from Norfolk, on Sunday, in the Pe- | tersburg Express, says : *‘ We had quite a trost yesterday morning in the upper part of the city, and I hope it will havea tendency to prevent the occurrence of new cases. During to-day the wind has changed to the South, and it is quite warm and close, with occasional showers. This may hare a tendency to inerease the fever, but [ hope not, as there is a great anxiety to return home. I very much fear some of them will mike so bold as to come back before the fever disappears. This would bo very indircreet, especiaily with those who reside in thickly iu- h thited portions of the city, where very few sores have been opened as yet, and itis deemed adviseable not to have too many of them opened before about the 10th of October. **T understand that, in some of the stores, in Market Square, which have been closed for some time, the green mould has accumula- ted on the counters and shelving to a great ex- tent—it being a half an inch thick in some eases. Inall that have perishable articles, the confined atmosphere is very unhealthy, and, if they are not well ventilated before the absentees return, it would not surprise me if the fever raged as bad as it bas done durin, the epidemic when they do return. [ woui recommend to all absentees great precaution in returning.”’ John W. Pointer, John Wilkins, and a child of Joseph Wiatt, have died in Mathews coun- ty of the fever, which they contracted in Nor- folk. Twelve men were sworn in os members of the night police on the 18th of September. Those men receive 75 cents per night from the Howard Association in addition to the pay they get from the city. The morning p2pere of Norfulk wiil be is- sued onthe 15th inst , and the News (after- noon) was to have been issued Monday. PORTSMOUTH. There were several new cases on Monday, and an increase in the number of deaths inthe carly part of the day. The gratifying fact was announced on Tuesday morning, however, that during the preceding night no deaths had occurred, and that there wero no new cases. The following are among the dead : H W. Holland, Joshua Barber, James Par- sons, Mrs. Wright, Patrick McDonough, eon of James Ward, Simon Whitland. Dr. Hunter, of Williamsburg, N. Y., who died in Portsmouth on Sunday, was very euc- cessful in his mode of treatment, having a good many patients and not losing one. He carried his medicine in his pocket, and would let no one examine it. He was, too, a man of remarkable nerve. On Friday, after having three attacks of the black vomit, he called on his nurse for pen and paper, and wrote, in a bold hand, his own prescriptions, Such acase hes rarely if ever occurred, as fever patients are most always exceedingly feeble and ner- vous “Our visiting physicians, who have rondered such effective service during their stay among us, are returning to their homes, and we are daily discharging the nurses who so kindly flew to the relief of the multitudes among us, who stood so much in need of their valuable services.

The steamer Pacific brings interesting de- tails of the events before Sebastopol, to noon of September 8, the hour at which the French and English etorming columns were in the very act of rushing to the assault against the city, which, during three previous days, had been devastated by the terrific fire brought to bear against it by the Allies. The opening scone is thus described by the correspondent of the London Times: Sept. 5.—At dawn, on the morning of the 5th of September, the French opened fire. The air was pure and light. and a tle breeze from the southeast, which continucd all day, drifted over the steppe and blew gently into Sebastopol. The sun ehone se- renely through the vapours of early morning and wreaths of snowy clouds, on the long lines of white houses inside those rugged defences of earth and gabionade which have so long kept our armies gazing in vain on this * au- gust city.”’ The ships lay floating on the waters of the roads, which were smooth as a mirroz, and like it, reflected them; and out- side our own fleet was that of the French equally inactive, and not quite so useful to us, were seen ee Kazatch to Constantine as idly as though they were “ pinted”’ upon “a painted ocean.” The writer then proceeds to describe the po- sition of the forces, and the * opening of the ball,’’ observing minuteness in his narrative, and saying, among other things : ‘Small trains of animals and files of men @ce passing over the ground between the trenches and the camp, and the only smoke that catches the eye arises from the kettles of the soldiery, or from a rifle in the advanced worke. On the left, however, it can be seen that the French trenches are crowded with men, and that their batteries are all manned, though the men keep well out of view, and the mantiets and screens are yet down before the muzzles of some of their guns. neath the parapets swarm like bees. A few pat rata Russians are in view repairing the works of the Flegstaff Battery, or engaged in throwing up a new work, which promises to be of considerable strength, in front of the second line of their defences. “Suddenly, along the earthen curtain be- tween Nos 7 an xstions, three jets of flame spring up into the air and hurl up as many illars of earth and dust, wh'ch are warmed Into ruddy bues by the horizontal rays of the eun. The French have exploded three fou- gasses to blow in the counterscarp, and to serve asasignal to thcir men. Instantly from the rea to the dockyard creek, there scems to run a stream of fire, and fleeey, curling, rich white smoke, as though the earth had suddenly been rent in the throes of an earthquake, and was vomiting forth the material of her volcanoes. The lines of the French trenches were at once covered as though the vory cloads of Heaven had se‘tled down upon them and were whirled about in spiral jots, in festoons, in clustering bunches, in columns and in sheets, al! com- 8 mingled. invelved together by the vehement | ath. iron storm tore up the Russian lines, tossing up, asif ia sport, jets of earth and dust, rending asunder gabions, and ‘ squelch- ing’ the parapets, cr bounding over among the houses and ruins in their rear. The ter- files of iron, about four miles in front, 1 across the plain, carrying death and Tuin with it, swept with its heavy and irresist- wings the Russian flanks, and searched rceutre to the corps. A volley so start- ling, simultaneous, and tremendously power- ful, was probably never yet uttered since the cannon fy its voiee.”’ The cor ondeut of the Times, with nice particularity, narrates the progress of the combat. until, having reamnsd the climax of description, he says *‘there was not one in- stent in which the sheils did not whistle through the air—not a moment in which the as not seamed by their fiery curves or ed by their explosion. Our practice was bey all praise. Every shell burst as it ought, and the lines of the Russian earth- works, of the Redan, Malakoff, and of all their batteries were rendered plainly visible by the ant light of the bursting shells. The 8 scarcely attempted a reply. At 5 o'clock it was observed that a frigate in the second line, near the north side, was smoking, and 2s it grew darker, flames were geen to issue from her si Men and officers rushed to the front in the greatest delight and excitement, aud as night came on, the whole vessel broke out into one grand blaze from stem tostern. The delight of the crowd on Cath- cart’s hill was intense. ‘Well, this is a sight! —to see one of those confounded ships touched last!’* Thess and many different and stronger expressions were audible on all sides, but there were some who thought that the Russians had set the ship on fire, or that incendiarics and malcontents were at work, and one gen- tieman went so far as to say he ‘thought it merely a signal—maybe to recall their caval- rd from Eupatoria.’” It is not precisely known how the thing was done. Some say it was done by the French— others by ourselves; and bombs, red-hot shot and rockets have been variously named as the agency by which the fire was accomplished. In spite of the effcris of the Russians, the flames spread, end soon issued from the ports quarter gallery. At cight o'clock the light was so great that the houses of the city and the forts on the other side could be discerned without difficulty. The masts stood long, and towed aloftlike great pillars of fire: but one after the other eae yielded; the decks fell in about ten o'clock, and at midnight the frigate was burnt to the water’s edge. September 6.—Last night, a steady fire was kept along the front, to preveut the Russians repairing damages At 10 p. m. orders were sent to our batteries to open as soon as there was a good light. the following morning, but they were limited to fifty rounds each. At 5¢ the whole of the batteries from Quarantine to Inkermann epened with a grand crash. The Russians were silent as before. The cannon- ade was miintained as it was yesterday. There were three breaks or lulls in the tem- pest: from half-past 8 till 10, from 12 till 5, and from half-past 6 till 7 the fire was com- paratively slack. September 7 —The cannonade was resumed at daybreak, the Inkermann batteries firing briskly. Acouncil of generals was held to- day ut headquarters, the sick were cleared out of the field hospitals, and it gradually oozed outthat the assault would take place to- morrow at 12 o'clock. The firing was tremen- dous all day, but clouds of dust, which a high wind from the north drifted into our faces, rendered a view of the place impossiblo. About 3 o’clock a two decker was sot on fire and burnt at night. A steamer towed other vessels near her away to the dockyard harbor, but the lines of tho men-of-war are still intact. Flames broke out behind the Redan in the afternoon. The bombardment was renowed atdusk <A Sardinian ecrpe was marched up to reinforce the French, There was n heavy explosion in the town at 11 o’elock, p.m. The men all take forty-eight hours provisions, cooked, into the trencees with them.

September 8, 11 a. m.—All comoraffrom Ba- laklave and the rear of the camp are ped by aline of sentries, Another line of sentrica in front prevents any one going as far as Cath- eart’s Hill, or the picket houses, except staff officers or men on duty.
