The Union, this morning, contains a letter irom John Van Buren, in reply to its stric- tures of yesterday upon his Oswego speech. We copied, yesterday, the pith of those stric. tures, which was, in effect, reading the Prince out of “the party.’’ The Prince, who is, em- phatically, a weg of the first water, in this letter draws from the Uniow still a further ‘reading out’’—the dismissal of the whole Soft ticket from the National Democratic party, in the following words: “In reply to the question whether the Washington Union desires the ticket advo- vated by Mr. Van Buren to be elected or not, we will teli him frankly that his declaration that ‘every candidate on our State ticket row, except one Judge and the Canal Com- missioner, Was openly and warmly the advo- eate of Martin Van Buren in 1845,’ and that “they were proud of it then, and I believe I do them no injustice when I add that they have been prouder of it every day since’—we say that this declaration makes it a matter of indifference, so tar as the interests of the Dem- ocratie party are concerned, whether his tick- et succeeds or not. But, whether it succeeds or not, we are very sure it will not affect the future course of the National Democracy.” The Prince, in the course of his letter, says: ‘: The election comes off a week from next Tuesday, and we shall thus soon be able to compare the official returns with a_ prediction which I wish to put on record. the entire democratic State ticket, which you call Soft, will be elected by a plurality of fifty thousand votes. 1 am sorry to find you stating that in effecting this result we shall have ‘cut our- selves joose from the national Democratic Bs ization.”’ Being deeply engaged in a State election which is rather more important to cur citizens than apy national contest is likely to be, we may not have had our atten- tion sufficiently called to the ition of our brethren in other States. We have no candi- dates for national honors, and very few of what are called in Washington national men. Mr. Jobn Cochran, the surveyor of our port, takes the principal charge ¢f this branch of our pol- ities, which may aptly be termed the heavy business. He was a member of our State con- vention, and I rather took it for granted he had seen to this. “As nearas I now understand, you object to our occupying now the position we occu- | in 1545, upon the subject of slavery. hat position was then and now defined as follows : ** Resolved, That while the Democracy of New York will faithfully adhere to all the compromises of the Constitution and maintain tho reserved rights of the States, they deem this » suitable occasion to declare their fixed hostility to the extension of tlavery to free territory.’ “Which branch of this resolution do you object to, in the name of the National Democ- racy? Are they against the compromises of the Constitution, or the reserved rights of the States, or do they desire to extend slavery to free territory, and is their feeling so intense on either of these three subjects that they can- not act with Democrats who agree with them on everything else, but differ on these ?”” The Intelligencer also puts its spoon into this nice little family (Democratic) squabble, Tepublishing copious extracts from Mr. John Van Buren’s Uswego speech, and saying : “If the tortuous course of the party thus honored with official approbation needed to be pointed out in characters of living light, no better testimony could be adduced than is afforded by this speech, which has been aptly termed ‘an apology for the equivocal course of the Syracuse Convention of the 29th of Au- gust.” The gravity with which its author at- tempts to show a difference between the plat- form of the ok of which he is the champion and that of the Fusionists is altogether char- acteristic. But his candor has sealed his fate. The Union does ‘not assume to read him out the party,’ but with a sorrowful heart pro- claims that he has ‘read himself out.’ This, too, in the face of its own declaration, uttered not many months since, ‘that an agreement ef opinion on the subject of slavery between Northern and Southern men is an im possi- bility? ——_-+___ New Music —We have received from Mr. George Hilbus, agent, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Eleventh street, La Donnae Mo- bile, from the opera Ricoletto, arranged for the piano, and dedicated to W.

Bergman, and dedicated to a young lady of this city Ree EE ee Yettow Faver.—We have nothing ad- ditional from Norfolk and Portsmouth con- cerning the yellow fever; the papers of those cities saying but little about it, regarding the i as having well-nigh exhausted itself. Occasionally, a new ease is reported in Nor- tolk; but in Portsmouth, they are entirely free trom it. The refugees from both piaces are rapidly returning home, notwithstanding they are warned against it by the Papers of that region c New Punuications.—* The Curse of the Village, and the Happiness of Being Rich,” by Mi.

The Bark Maury .—It seoms that the act of the Government here in recently causing the bark Maury to be libelled—and we are sure that it wus only done after instructions from this pomnt—was caused by s formal complaint, or information lodged by Mr. Barclay, the British Consul General at New York, charging that she was being fitted out as a Russian pri- vateer, and designed taking one or more of the Cunard steamers, and having next rigged them as steam privateers, to make a descent on Calcutta! The Government could not avoid acting on such formal represetations. The investigation, however, proves that the charge was the ‘veriest Josch conceivable; the vessel having nothing whatever on board un- suited for a Chinese voyage and the Chinese trade. The counsel of Mr. Consul-General Bar- olay now admits, we hear, that his client moved in this matter on an entire misapprehension of the facts; and Mr. Barclay accounts for his act, it is said, by declaring that when he in- terrogated the owners, or freighters of the bark, they refused to answer his interroga- tories! Now, the truth is, Mr. Barclay is in an ugly scrape with reference to his illegal act ot enlist- 40g troops in the United States for the British service in the Crimea; and in castingabouthim for some means of attracting public attention from his position as a wilful violator of our laws, bethought him of the expedient of mc- lesting the bark Maury and her owners, be- cause they did not choose to admit his right to interrogate them as to their private concerns. This is the truth about the bark Maury affair, in a nut sbell. Foolish.—We are not a little amused at the speculation of the Washington correspondents of the distant journals over the prospect cf this or that distinguished Democrat for the vote of this or that State in the next national Democratic convention, almost always accom- panied with the declaration that some one distinguished leader carries the vote (in con- vention) of the State in his breeches pocket. Some correspondent of the New York Herald, is just now speculating amusingly in that way, eencerning the vote of Virginia, saying how A, B or C, will permit her yote to be thrown, and how they will not. The Democratic party in Virginia are aceus tomed to place the yotes (in National Conven tions) of their respective Congressional dis- tricts in the hands of four delegates and four alternates from cach district, chosen by the Democratic yoters of the district, with refer- ence only to their character and political standing at home, and without the slightest reference to the ambition or aspirations of any seeker forthe Presidency. They are always guided by enlarged wisdom and patriotism when acting in convention, because they are, emphatically, xo man’s men. Time and again have we seen the entire absence of selfishness and identification with the fortunes of aspi- rants, which characterize the Virginia deleg1- tionsin Democratic National Conventions, save the party from having fisted on them unfortu- nate and unsuccessful nominations; and when we hear it said that A, B, or C is certain of the vote of Virginia in the National Democratic Convention, or that E, D, or F will control her vote there, we always wish that the silly prog- nosticator could be “put through’’ a regular course of Virginia Democratic politics; if but by way of opening his eyes to comprehend the fact that Virginia’s influence in national pub- lie affairs arises in great part from the impos- sibility—under her system—of tying her to the tail of any aspiring gentleman's coat. The Mutual Protection Scheme.—We have Very little faith in the idea of forming sovieties for the purchase and sale of necessaries of life at “cost and expenses.’’ In countries where the right to zell goods is a privilege enjoyed by law only by a favored few, combinations among them in different branches of business may occur to the great disadvantage of the consumer. For instance, the privilege of car- rying on the business of a butcher is limited by law, in Paris, to four hundred persons or firms, not half of whom killthe animals. Per- haps fifty are slaughterers, and furnish the rest with the slaughtered meats to be by them re- tailed. It is quite possible that the fifty above referred to may combine to keep up prices unduly; indeed it is knownthat they do so. Hence the recent French Imperial decree forcing them to seil each part of the slaugh- tered animal at a price per pound to be regulated by proclamation every fortnight, just as at this time the weight of the baker’s losf is regulated in this city, We question much, however, the wisdom of associations in this country, more especially on & small seale, to purchase for sale, without profit, flour and other necossaries of life. We know that the retail prices of breadstuffs, &c., are very high here, as elsewhere in this coun- try just now, but we do not believe that this state of things is the result of a combination among the retail dealers. Open competition and active rivalry exists between them all; and we have seen too many instances of an intense desire on their part to get business from each other, to believe that they do not very generally aim to sell as much as possi- ble—or, in other words, to sell for as little profit as possible compatible with the safety of their business. The idea of establishing in this city a permanert association for the pur- chase of flour for consumption by the families of its members, on a capital of $1,000, is pre- posterous—as the rent of store-room, the pay- ment of clerk hire, drayage, labor, insurance, &c., would swamp half of it before the first barrel of the ‘‘ wholesale purchase” may be re- ceived. The remedy for the existing high price of breadstuffs in our city, is for each family to make their own bread, and to make it well; and to buy for cash in hand. When the per- son is known always to pay cash in hand, it will bring an average of some eight per cent. discount on the expenses of a family; and a barrel of flour made up at home into good bread, will go nearly twice as far as the bread bought of any baker, costing, in the aggre- gate, the price of the barrel of flour. Mr. Consul-General Barclay —If our con- sular agents abroad, or those of any other na- tion, were to assume such privileges as this gentleman claims, we should never hear the last of it from those American and foreign journals who are eternally seeking to pick holes in the Administration’s actions. The little flarings of Consuls Worrel in Cuba, and Ward in Panama, recently occurring, have af forded them themes on which to get offa great anti-Administration hullabullo. Mr. Barclay not only easays knowingly the violation of our neutrality laws by enlisting troops for Britain in the Unitea States, but undertakes to meddle with the action of our courts of law, writing letters to them concern- img how they shall discharge their duties in a particular case. His last assumption was that of the right to interrogate Ameriean mer- chants concerning their private business, and making their refusal to acknowledge his au- thority to demand a satisfactory reply, the ground-work for lodging false information here, that compelled the Government, tempo- rarily to libel their ship—the bark Maury— and its cargo. What would be said if our consul at Ha- vana, or at Liverpool, or any where else, who should assume any such privileges, powers, or authority ? On the whole, the agents of the British Gov- ernment in this country, are coming to a pretty pass, indeed. Naval Dispatches sent by an Invalid Of- ficer.—A naval officer, detached from service abroad on account of sickness, and invalided home, took charge of dispatches from hiscom- manding officer to the Navy Department, which he deposited, according to request, in the post office on his arrival in the United States. For this service, he claimed duty pay, medical expenses, &c., from his detach- ment till his arrival home. It was held that under the second section of the act of March 3, 1835, and the subsequent regulations of the Department, no naval officer was entitled to payment for medical expenses; and that in this case the officer was not ‘on duty’’ within tlfe meaning of the law—not having been sent home upon the duty of bear- ing dispatches, but having taken charge of dispatches because he was going home, and not having been subjected thereby to any in- convenience or expense. The Bark Magnolia.—It will be recollected that this vessel was seized off the coast of Florida, some months ago, under the allega- tion that she had on board a cargo (uncleared) for the fillibusters. The courts not yet having disposed of her case, the Government and her ownef havo agreed that the vessel and cargo may be sold, at three days’ notice, to prevent loss by deterioration, which has been going on fast. The Current Operations of the Treasury Departmont.—On yesterday, 26th of October, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on tho books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $24,107 44 Forthe Treasury Department...- 11,503 11 For the Interior Department....+ 325 00 For Customs.....ccosesceceeeeee 109,455 00 War Warrants received and en- Pere sccescsssccssecesacsauces 160;001 26 War repay warrants received and entered. ..sssescstsceessessece 70L 26 From miscellaneous sources. . 5,538 85 From Lands.......+se0+ . 1,091 87 Cn account of the Navy. + 73,919 00 oe PERSONAL, +++» The Hon.

(> By an arrival at St. Louis from Fort Laramie we learn that winter had set in with unusual severity in the northwestern region. The court martial at Fort Laramie, tor the trial of Capt. Howe, hud been dissolved with- out action, in consequence of some irregularity. Col. Sumner, with seven companies of cay- alry, was ev route for Fort Laramie. ‘the Santa Fe mail has arrived at Indepen- dedce, Mo , with dates to the Ist of October.

Bravumont’s Typx Distrisuting Macnine. On Thursday we witnessed the operation of this machine, and after a pretty thorough ex- aminution of its workings, aro convineed of its practical utility in large printing establish- ments. Each machine will distribute but one size of type; but the inventor saysthat theymay be so constructed as to be easily adapted to the different sizes of small type. If worked by hand, one man or boy can distribute 12,000 ems per hour, and with scarcely a possibility of an error of a single type; whereas by the usual process of hand distribution, 3,000 ems are about theaverage. The machine can be worked by steam, and one man can then at- tend to three of thom, making the total distri- bution in one hour 36,000 ems.—V. Y. Jour. of Com. Axotarr Isa Deap.—A year or two ago, the people of Wisconsin embraced am other isms anti-hangingism, and _forthwit abolished the penalty of death. Since then, murders and assassinations have increased to afearful extent in the State, and, what is strange, some of the populace who held up their hands in holy horror at the idea of exe- cuting a criminal according to law, did not hesitate, in two cases recently, to hang them in violation of the express statute of the State, by a resort to Judge Lynch. The deliberate murder, however, of Mr. Adams, the banker, at Milwaukie, a few days ago, is likely to be the final end of anti-hangism. The papers of the State are demanding that the ensuing Legislature shall restore the death penalty, in defiance of the denunciations of modern re- formers. Opposition TO SPECULATION IN BreaD- sturrs.—A meeting was held at Philadelphia on Thursday evening to take into considera- tion the best means of counteracting the operations of speculators in breadstuffs, and of devising means of obtaining bread at lower rates than at present. After some discussion a committee was appointed to devise the ways and means of obtaining chea) breadstats, pon ‘ropulat fat ter the sanlaoien a ons for the orgal an fa Sixty Scotch factory girls arrived at Boston on Wednesday. ge GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Guorastows, Oct. 27, 1855. We yesterday saw at the machine shop and foundry of Mr. William Duvall, a model of the plan invented by Mr. D. for Mr. Ray, to be used at ‘the coal depot of Mr. R. in our city, for the purpose of unloading coal from canal boats, and loading vessels ; which is agreeable to our judgment about such matters, perfect in all its parts, and admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended. This plan of Mr. D’s is very simple in its construction, and combines all the elements of strength and durability, and easily repaired in case at any time any portion of it should accidentally get out of pel ped The plan consists of boats con- stracted with severa! stuffed movable cylin- ders passing down through the centre or bot- tom of the boat, these cylinders when the boat enters the dock to be unloaded, are pushed down through packed (water-tight) boxes or valves in the bottom of the dock (which ex- tends over the wharf,) and the coal passes di- rectly through the cylinders on the revolving carriers, and discharged either into the spout lending to the hole of the vessel, or upon any art of the wharf where it may be desired. n case a vessel is to be loaded when there is no boat unloading, a number of sliding doors are placed along the water front of the wharf, upon each of which there is attached a spout, which is moved by the vessel while loading just to suit her position. Each of these spouts are so constructed that the coal, when de- posited in it,can be weighed or measured while on its passage to the hold of the vessel, in any quantity, from a fourth of a ton or less upwards. (Quite a number of plans have been submitted to Mr. Ray, but we learn from com- petent judges that all of them fall far short of Mr. Davail's in their practicability or adap- tation to the purpose. Mr. Duvall feels very confident that by his plan he can unload from twelve to twenty boats per day, and load from four to eight ordinary size vessels. From all we can learn, there ts very little if any doubt about the plan of Mr. D. being adopted. We may also remark that by this plan a cargo of any kind of grain can easily be discharged from one of the boats, without any danger of getting- wet cr sustaining any other kind of damage. Spectator. to Mexico.—Later advices from Mexico, re- ceived at New Orleans on the 25th instaat, re- port that General Alvarez, owing to his ad- vanced years and feoble health, has resigned the Presidency, and that Gencral Comorfoit had been chosen in his place, Tue Exntuition.—The National Agricultu- tal Exhibition at Boston, on Thursday, was successful beyond all expectation, the number present being estimated at from 60,000 to 100,000 persons. The receipts were over $20,- 000. A great many could not get in on ac- count of the inability of the ticket takers to collect their tickets. The show commenced with a grand cavalende of truckmen, between six and seven hundred, making a magnificent appearance. . Then came an exhibition of the various classes of horses—among them the blood hor- ses Logan, Fashion and Metchless—and also an exhibition of splendid blood stock. In the afternoon there was a trot. in which eight hor- ses took part, for purses of $200 and $100 Genesee, a New York horse, won the first prize, and Kate Miller the second. Genesee won the first two and fourth heats Time: 2:38, 2:394 and 2:42. When the last heat came off, Wm. Woodruff, of New York, driver of Young America, broke his rein, and the horse dashed sgainst the rail and into the crowd, throwing his driver and smashing the gig, but he was finally captured without ee- rious harm to any one. Horriete Arrara 1x Urnpana.—The Ohio State Journal relates the fol ng: ‘On Friday week, Judge Williams, of Union county, at one time Associate Judge of that county, while in a state of intoxication, seated himself on the railroad track, in the vicinity of Urbana, and waz knocked off the track by a freight train, and his foot crushed in such a manner that amputation had to be resorted to the sume night. We learn that Judge Wil- liams died, a day or two after the accident, in consequence of the injuries received at the time. It is due to the enginecr of the train to say that when he found the person would not leave the track, he reversed his engine and jumped off, and endeavored to run ahead of is machine to save Mr. Williams, but missed it by not more than two steps. The Judge leaves a wife and children to mourn theirloss.”’ A Remarkaner Case.—The Auburn (N. Y.) American states that Jeol Schoonover, a man ninety etght years of age, was sentenced in that city recently to two years’ imprison- ment in the State Prison for the crime of arson, he having been con 1 of burning no less than three barns belonging to near relatives— children, it is said. He exults in the commiz- sion of the deed, which consigns him to the convict’s cell. * Eg The Front Royal Gazette saya: As the Saturday night train on the Manassas Gap Railroad was coming up it encountered near the bridge over the Shenandoah river, a large rock, whi me miscreants had placed there. 2 it was thrown off by the cow- er, otherwise there can be no doubt but loss of life would have been the consequence, for the embankmont is quite high at that place. Tur First Terecraru Disparcu.—It is stated that the Con cut Historical Society have in their possession, for preservation, the first line sent over the Magnetic Telegraph in America. The graphic question, ‘‘ What hath God wrought?’ wus the first connected sen- tence, dictated by Miss Annie G. Ellsworth, now Mrs. Smith of Indiana, daughter of Hen- ry L. Ellsworth, Usq. Lt was sent from Wash- ington to Baltimore, to Professor Morse. Miss Extza Logan.—Strange incidents some- times oceur in the life of an actor or actress. One evening last week, while Miss Logan was pertocming inthe ‘ Hunchback,’’ at the Al- any theatre, and just as she suid, ‘ Clifford, why don’t you spexk to me ””’ one of the spec- tators replied, in an audible voice, ‘Bo, Clif- ford; J would if she'd talk to me in that way.”’ tg The Stato central committee of the op- ponents of the prohibitory liquorlaw, appoint- ed by the N. Y. State convention of the 19th of June, have issued an address calling upon all their friends and the liquor dealers’ asso- ciation throughout the State to vote for the whole Democratic Soft Shell ticket. soe Santa Anna at St. Toowas.—Dates from St. Thomas to the 6th instant have been re- ceived. Santa Anna and his daughter, with a numerous suite, were there, and had recently been visited by the (rovernor, the American Consul, and all other dignitaries on the island. tp The first wheat exported from Savannah, Ga,, to Liverpool, was ship on the 17th inst, in the ship Southport. The lot consisted of 2,097 bushels. Another vessel is in port taking in a similar cargo for the same port.
