EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITE: TUESDAY AFTERNOON .....October 30, {3 Apvantiseuants should be handed in by 12 o’clook, M., otherwise they may not sp- posr until the next day. ——< SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PREss. The Intelligencer, commenting on the plea that it is proper te oppose the admission of more slave States into the Union because three- Sifths of their slave population are counted in estimating for Representatives in Congress, aye: «The answer to this is . [thas been given before, and, though clear as a mathe- Matical demonstration, it is su: that it does not at once strike the intelligent minds who make the complaint. Grant all that the most uitra anti-slavery man could ask—let the slavce te declared free and counted as per- rove, and so for from the slave States being the losers by it, they would actually be the geiners The number of their Representa- tives in Congress would not be diminished but inoreased ; for instead of counting as now only three-fifths of the ne, the whole of them would be counted. Then why is the fallacy rag Pk? elt oe ek North agitate sophi: 80 it cannot bear the dupliat testof troth?? The Union endorses and defends the letter of the President (of August, 1854,) to Mr. J. J. Taylor, of New York, wherein he enforces aud illuetrates the soundness and wisdom of the doctrine and policy of ‘ non-intervention”’ in the matter of the institutions to be adopted by the people of the Territories, preparatory to their admission as States. New Books. Ivom Taonpz, roe Pioxezr Preacuer. By Paul Creyton, author of “Father Bright- hepes,’’ “‘ Martin Merrivale,’ &c. Boston: Phillips, Sampson & Co. New York: J. C. Derby. 1855" This is a beautiful little tale of frontier life, descriptive of the adventures, and the joys and trials of the preacher whe discharges his whole duty amid frontier associations. It is well written, embraces ho improper matter to be put into the hands of any member of any family, and is altogether an agreeable book. We are indebted to Messrs. Taylor & Maury for a copy of it.

This work is a republication of certain fugi- tive pieces, originally written by its author for the columns of the New York Independent, (zewepaper.) They are among the most unex- eeptionable emanations from his pen, not being on subjects in which he can appropriately in- dulge his well known idiosyncrasies. That he possesses genius, extraordinary genius, no sen- sible men will deny, though much that he writes and speaks ia so smeared over with the Liurring of a violent temper, inordinate van- ity, impudent self-eufficiency, disgusting self- righteousness, and impious pretensions to in- fallivility, asto render his clerical and lite- rary labors hurtfal to the future of American socicty, which is as susceptible to demoraliza- tion, in the enlarged sense of the term, from * the influence of brutal and violent fanaticism, ae from adroitly concealed efforts to elevate vice and bad principles into taste and fashion— ison the minds of the young and thought- ith flashy panderings to depraved appe- In this work, however, we find the 3 better nature and his remarkable powers displayed, with little, indeed, of that which, being so peculiarly his, forces moder- ate and sensible persons to view him in the light of a talented monomaniac, if not a con- firmed lunatic; rather than asa competent and trusty teacher cf the doctrine of peace and good will among all men, which is the doctrine of the Christian philosophy. We are also in- debted to Taylor & Maury for a copy of this work. The Recont Tragedy at Milwaukie. We cgain refer to the murderous assault which recently took place in the above named city, for ‘he purpose of correcting, no doubt, ntional error that has crept into the us papers giving an account of the cad occurrence. The reader, after perusing the statement given in most of the journals, would be led & that Mr. Adams, the private banker, in Milwaukie, who fell an innocent victim by the murderous hand cf the German Penner, was, in some way, connected with the Germania Bank, by the failure of which the German in question had lost tho sum of $147, which ho bad on deposit in that institu- tion. This supposition, however, is wholly Mr. Adams was not, and never erroneous had been, in any manner whatever, connected with the Germania Bank, and was not evena citiren of Milwaukie at the time of the failure of the institution. At the time he received the wornd which, in a few hours thereafter terminated so fatally, he was in the act of doing that which every true and good citizen would have done, endeavoring to prevent the eheddiog of the blood of a fellow-citisen by the handa of en assassin. itis with more than ordinary regret that wo kere been eslled on to record this sad af- fair, a2 the gentleman whe hes been thus sud- denly out of in the very prime of manhood was, in addition to the many noble qualities that endeared him to all having the good for- tune to furm Lis sequeintance, connected by marriage with two @f the most worthy and highly respectable families of our city.

Those ends are not, however, such as he seems to imagine. It is not, and was not intended to be a legal tribunal, the cases coming under its examination being all such as eannot be relieved by due action of any existing law; and hence the application te Congress for spe- cial laws to meet the just requirements of each such case. j This Court of Claims is, in fact, and in law, but an advisory board. Congress, in deter- minining what its duties should be, expressly, and by carefully matured design, made them but advisory, on the ground not only of the inexpediency cf delegating to any court or board the right to determine what payments should be made from the national treasury for which there may be no warrant in ex- isting law, but because their power s0 to do was notclear. Most of the opposition in Con- gress to the creation of this court or board was based on the want of power in Congress to delegate any such authority. Now, we trust, with the Commercial Adver- tiser, thatthe recommendations of the Ocurt of Claims may be such as to inspire Congress with that sense of their justice and propriety, as will insure prompt and favorable action on all claims they endorse as being such as should be liquidated by the Government. Up to this time, we rejoice to have it in our power to say, their action has been marked with due caution and by the evident purposo of doing strict justice to the Government as well as to the claimants. Anything less on their part, we repeat, will insure the speedy dissolution of the tribunal which really bidsso fair to supply the desideratum, through the want of which the public service has suffered heavily (by hasty ard ill-understood legisla- tion in favor of fraudulent or exorbitant pri- vate bills) and honest claimants on Govern- ment have been starved into their graves by scores. Australia. —Professor Harvey, the distin- guished naturalist of Ireland, who is now yis- iting the islands of the Pacific, says of the climate ¢f Australia, that ‘it seems as nearly perfect as a sublunary climate can well be.’ There is less rain, and a greater number of clear days than in Englands Of the plants, he saye, many common English weeds are natural- ized, and some are perfect pests. Horehound is everywhere by the road-sider, and chamo- mile covers the fields in many places to the exclusion of grasses. Thistles are fast going ahead in Van Dieman’s Land; there are hun- dreds of acres given over to them, and grow- ing so thick in some places that he has walked over his shoesin the bed of thistle-down, which had blown from the withered stems. He has seen oaks heavily laden with well-grown acorns; but there are no trees as yet of large size. Elms and ash are notcommon. He has not seen any of the pine tribe in cultivation, except a few recently introduced to the Bo- tanic Garden and Hobart-town. The great staple in the garden-way, of the colony, is in apples, pears, plums, and cherries—all of which thrive remarkably well Gooseberrier, currants, raspberrice, and strawberries grow equally well. But peaches and nectarines are only fit for tarts, and often fell off before they are ripe. Grapes just ripen, and nomore and are of small sise. The ferns or alga are of huge size and great luxuriance. Professor Harvey has devoted several years to the study and collection of marine plants, and the Smithsonian Institution hes published two parts of a work on this subject, in which all the specimens collected on the Atlantic coast of North America are described. Le is now collecting specimens in the Pacific for the same purpose. He gives his time, traveling expenses, and labor freely for the purpose of adding to the sum of human knowledge, and the Institution publishes the results of his in- vestigations as a valuable and interesting con- tribution to science. The sea ih every climate, and at all known depths, is tenanted by theso vegetables. They are necessary for the support of the animals that inhabit the sea, they keep pure the water and yield a considerable portion of oxygen gas to the atmosphere. neral uses of the algm, apparent as ‘ner a slight reflec- tion, are apt to be overlooked by the utilita- rian querist. We will, therefore, mention a few of them apart from the considerations alluded to already. As food, several species of alge are used both by savage and civilised man; they furnish winter provender for cattle on the northern shores of Europe; as manure they are very valuable; as sources of carbonate of soda and iodine they are extensively used; they furnish various medicines and are applied in the arts. The study of the alge is also of special interest to the physiologist. Mr. John Y. Mason —Some of the Northern journals that loose no opportunity to pick holes in the acts of the Administration, for want of something just now on which to hang @ carping paragraph with the semblance of fair reason, have seized on a brief paragraph appearing not long since in the Star, announe- ing the continued physical disability of the Hon. John Y. Mason, U. 8. Minister at Paris, and take occasion to characterize it as evi- dence of an official conspiracy existing here to induce his retirement from his present posi- tion. Now, this is supremely silly. We made that announcement as legitimate news—inter- esting news to Mr. Mason’s large circle of per- sonal friends here and in Virginia, who, with the Administration, first heard of that geutle- man’s continued feebleness through our para- graph, for which we were indebted to a letter written in Paris by an official American gen- tleman to an unofficial person here. it was not long since that the northern papers, carping against the administration after this fashion, were calling its members everything they could lay their pens to for refusing to recal Mr. M. on the ground of his participation in the Ostend confer- ence. Consistent friends of his these, truly. Fortunately for his peace of mind in his de- clining health, he has had sufficient expo- Tienge in the world to enable him to appre- ciate their so very disinterested sympathy and ingenuous indignation in his behalf, at its true value. Ottawa Indiane.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office has just issued instruo- tions for the withdrawal and reservation from tale two more townships of land, to wit: townships fifteen and sixteen north of range sixteen west, situate in Ocean county, southern | peninsula of Michigan, some eight or ten miles south of Pere Marquette Lake or River, and eonyenient to Lake Michigan, for the perma- nent home and domestication of the Ottawas. This reservation together with those J noticed of a similar character, has been made in pursuance of a law Congress passed at last ‘session, and the recent treaties with this‘ and other northern tribes, to carry inte effect the humane policy recently adopted by the Gov- ernment t6 consolidate and civilize our Northi- ern tribes.

Government Employees and the Court of Claims.—By a special order from the Prosi- dent, all employees in any branch whatever of the Executive Department of the Govern- ment, are forbidden from essaying to practice as attorneys before the Claims Court. This order is in accordance with the spirit of the law for the prevention of frauds, which as- sumes, with great justice, that it ia not proper that any public officer should be interested in obtaining the allowance of any claim against the treasury of the United States.

Guonextown, Oct. 30, 1855, Yesterday evening, about 7% o’clock, the servant of one of our citizens was attracted to the door of hia dwelling by the noise of foet- steps upon the porch. eing no person at the door, she was about to return when her at- tention was attracted by a bundle lying upon the steps. Upon taking it into the light it was found to contain a white male infant child, to a'l appearances about two days old. From every indication, the person who left it had kept it out in the cold some time, probably while seeking a place and an opportunity to get rid of it. From what direction the little stranger came no one a3 yet can form any con- jecture. Judging from the materials in which it was wrapped, however, one thing appears certain to the minds of the family where it was left, a3 well as our own, and that is, it is not the offspring of indigence. The little stranger is tenderly cared for by the gentle- man’s family where it was left. e think the more than brute of a mother would do right in the sight of God and the opinion of men to go and claim her innocent offspring, and then raise it to her credit, although the circum- stances under which she gave it birth may be to her shame, and not to abandon it as she has. Neither the ridding herself of the trou- ble of raising it, nor the shame of the illegiti- macy of its birth, will quiet her conscience, justify her in the sight of Hevven, or prevent the hand of God or burning remorze from sooner or later overtaking her for the inhu- mtn act. We are well informed that the Rev Mr. Speake, cf cur city, is to lead to the hymenial tar to-day at 2 o'clock a lady of your city. General Mason, of our city, sold yesterday to a Mr. Balla farm lying in Loudon county, Virginia, containing 758 acres, for $50,000, or nearly $66 an acre. The flour market ‘is firm and active, with small sales at $9. The tendency of the mar- ket is upward. Wheat—the supply very light, far short of the demand, selling readily at $2a82 05 for red, arid $2.05a$2.10 for white of good qualities. Corn—ocld, 90s. An unwelcome visitor in the are of a fe- rocious-looking animal of the cow kind, hotly pursued by a largo dog, rushed into the house upon us this morning, while we were writing this letter, which frightened everything in the shape of an item out of our rae! f Fortu- nately for us, however, we made good our re- treat in time to save ourself from being brought into contact with its horns and hoofs. All the damage we sustained was a fright sufficient to destroy our growth for a year to come at least. Sprctaror. The Czar at Odessa The Ost Deutsche Post contai ing letter of the 29th, from Ode: “fhe unexpected arrival of his Majesty, the Emperor, at @ quarter to six o’clock in the morning of the 25th has astonished every body. His Majesty was accompanied by the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas. [n as far as is known, the object of their journey was to seo that Nicholaieff, the principal es- tablishment of the Black Sea fleet, was prop- erly secured. Nicholaieff, twenty-five years ago a very iucontiderable place, was by the ‘‘jmmortal labors’ of Lazareff made the great depot of the Russians in the Black Ses. Nicholaieff lies on 2 barren steppe, on the left bank of the Ingul, and at no great distance from its confluence with the Bug. It is the residence of the commander of the Black Sea fleet, and in the dockyards the vessels-com- jing it were built. The town contains about 38,067 inhabitants, and bas six Greek churches, a Catholic and a Lutheran place of worship; there ere also two synagogues, one for the common Jews and the other for the Ka- raites. The principal buildings are the Ad- miralty, several barracks with room for 25,000 men, the bydrographic institution, and the observatory. The arsenal contained prodi- ious supplies of materiel of war, which had Sosa collected there during the last ten years, but a great must have been sent to Se- bastopol during the war. Nicholaieff is 121 vesrts from Odessa, 339 from Simpheropol, and 401 from Sebastopol. As soon as his Majesty reached Nicholaieff, the engineer and builder, Lieutenant Volo- koff, was summoned by telegraph, and he re- eeived orders to construct round the town sey- eral redoubts, (five, it is said.) with 360 — Beside these, 500 gunboats are to be built with all speed by workmen brought from Cron- stadt, who will be under the personal inspcc- tion of the Grand Admiral, Constantine. h of these boots is to be armed with two or four uns of long range. The latter have already tae brought from the arsenal at Kieff. The newly-built frigates Vitjas and Tiger are al- ready armed, and have been examined and approved by the Imperial family. On the 27th the Grand Duke Constantine left for Sebastopol, and it is said he will be ac- companied on his return by Prince Gortscha- koff, with whom his Majesty wishes to consult on the future conduct of the war. Acco} to an om dit, the plan of the Russian com- mander-in-chief is to withdraw from the north side of Sebastopol, and to defend the Crimea by taking up a position between Bakshiserai and the Eupatoria. @ follow- Iuaugnse Bousingss at ton Surrouk Baxx.
