EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY?) FRIOAY AFTERNOON... . Noyeus aber 2, oooooS90000——— SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is of the opinion that though the mode of election—by gengral tick- et—of those who hold the certificates for the seats in'the next United States House of Rep- resontatives from California, will not prevent them from representing the State in the next Congress, it will cause the enactment of a statute compelling all the States hereafter to elect by general ticket. : The Unron pays its respects tothe New York Albion in powerful and appropriate article. The Alsion, bent on playing second fiddle to the Courrier des Etats Unis in de- fending the violations of our laws by British officials to subserve the ends of their. govern- ment, says: ‘* Space would fail were we to track home to him (Mr. Stoekel, the Russian minister) the lavishing of cojolertes here, and of gold there; the skilful use he has made of personal political rivatries existing in the American cabinet; the insidious means employed by his instraments—at his expense and with or with- out the complicity of certain civil servants of the United States—to entrap British consuls and employees into the very violation of the law which it has been their duty to avoid.” In the course of its remarks on this budget of infamous falsehoods the Union says: «But neither our government nor the Rus- sian minister stands in any need of vindica- tion egainst the second-hand calumnies of the British organ. If the same imputations, when made by the French organ, have proved im- “potent and reragt how bier 4 popmen and contemptible they appear when by the Brite organ! foxet the eahor of Albion is ignorant of the ridicule which he excites by his abject scrvility in copying the elanders of his French ally. The humiliation to which his government has been subjected, first, in entering into an alliance with Louis Napoleon, and, next, in being literally dis- —— by the pes glory won by the french army in Eastern war, ought to have suggested to the British grman here the propriety of attemp’ing to maintain the ap- pearance of equality with the French organ. ut it seems that British pride is so effectually humbled, that Franee has but to lead and England is ready to follow! What a singular subepetion must have taken possession of a journai thus degraded, to suppose that he could rehash and reproduce the falsehoods of his more potent ally with any prospect of injury to the able American functionaries against whom his attacks are directed! Bat Louis Napoleon had given the order to his organ at New York to commence the attack, and, as a matter cf course, the British organ had only to echo the assault.”’ We may comment on the A/sion’s folly tc- morrow- PERSONAL. «ese The Jeffersonville (ind.)

The Expected Steamer.—Up to the hour at which we go to press—2 p. m.—nothing what ever had been heard in New York of the ex- pected steamer, now much past due. — Gen. Scott's Back Pay.—As many newsps- per writers are puzzling their brains to ascer- tain precisely how much Gen. Scott gains pe- cuniarily, by the enactment of the Lieutenant General bill, we have taken occasion to pro- eure data through which we can satisfy the public curiosity on that head. We have, therefore, to remark, that the pay and allowance of a Major General in time of war, per month of 30 days, was $498, as fol- lows: 228 56 10 Subsistenee for sel! 180 jubsistence for se: 24 Total.. $498 For the month of thirty-one 3s, $6.80 more was allowed, being one day’s rations for self and servant, making $504.80. In time of peace, prior to the act of August 4, 1854, (imoreasing the pay of the rank and file of the army,) the pay of a Major General, per month of thirty days, was $466; thus: in of himself and servants ‘01 For the month of thirty-one days, $6 80 more was added for rations of himself and ser- vants, making, 2472 80. Since the act of August 4, 1854, a Major General’s pay, &c., for a month of thirty days, is $492—the increase being on the pay of ser- vants, which follows that of privates in the army, $4 per month increase for each servant, four in number—$16; and for a month of thirty-one days, $6.80 more—$22.80. The pay of a Lieutenant General fora month of thirty days will be $540, thus: Pay per act May 28,1793... $250 Forage....... 50 Subsistence .. 240 Total. ccccccssveseviccscccsescccesSO40 If the rations be doubled for commanding the army, as provided in the case of a Major General by the act of August 22, 1842, there will be added per month $240—making a total per month of thirty days of $780. In the above statements no allowance is made for the additional ration allowed by the fifteenth section of the act cf July 5, 1833, for every five years’ service, which, to an officer forty-five years in service, would be per month of thirty days, $54- $834 No allowance is made by the act of May 23 1798, for servants to a Lieutenant General Frem the foregoing, it will be seen that from the 29th of March, 1847—the date of General Scott’s rank as Lieutenant General, under the joint resolution of Feb 15, 1855, and the ap- pointment by the President—the pay, &c., of Lieutenant General amounts tu~ ‘ays Fors Subsiste: If allowed manding.

Still Anether British Consular Antic.— The last mails from California tell that the American schooner, whose master and crew very humanely conveyed the sailors of the Russian frigate shipwrecked in the earth- quake at Simoda, to Petropaulouski, has actu- ally been ‘‘ libelied’’ at San Francisco, on the pretence that that act was a violation of our neutrality laws! It cannot be otherwise than that the proceedings sgainst her were sugges- ted by the British Consul at Sgn Francisco. It is in exact keeping w'th the antics Bri- tish officials are cutting up on our Atlantic side. What matters it that it is as well known at San Francisco as in New York, that from twenty to thirty thousand tons of American shipping have long been engaged in transport- ing troops, arms and munitions of war to the Crimea, for the allies, when there is a sem- blance of an excuse forcutting up such adido? Now, it is no infraction of the law of nations to save, protect, and trangport the shipwreck- ed of any nation, at waroratpeace. Indeed, it is a higher law of humanity so to do, which all civilized nations acknowledge, admitting its superior obligation to that of any other law whatever. No nation, having the least claim to character or position in the earth's family of nations, would censure, forbid, or punish the exercise of just such hospitality on the part of its own subjects, as was proctised by the master and crew of the American schooner in question, even though it were extended to the shipwrecked sajlors of a power with which they were actually at war. $25,750 00 5,150 00 The New York Democracy —The presert anomalous:condition of the Democratic party in New York, is proverbially a mystery and a problem, comprehended only by the initiated, and to all ‘‘ ontsiders’’ a sealed book. It is as useless to speculate about the causes of iis present distracted condition, as abont those of the present panic in the New York stock market. It is a matter about which intelli- gent men differ very widely in opinion. As we age ignorant “precisely what brought each into its present depressed state, it is quite dif- ficult for es to say what will bring either out. In relation to the politics of New York wo confess our profound ignorance. So far as the Democratic party is concerned, it is enough for us to know that in its organization it is friendly to the Administration, harmonious with the Democratic party of the Union, and, beyond and above ali, that it is arrayed in open and deadly hostility to tho swarthy ed- horts of the new Republican organization: and that it is the only organization in the State which can make head against them, and prevent the consummation of designs which canonly end in a dissolution of the Union. We confess that, with this end in view, we are not disposed to look too closely into and to eriticise too severely the partic: mode of warfare that shall be adopted by those imme- diately interested—satisfied as we are that we re not in a condition to maderstand their af- fairsyand that thoso who are ix the war know altogether better than ‘we can how it should be eonducted. The defeat of the Democratic ticket in New York iz the triumph of Black Republicanism—its success is the knell of that dangerous organisation in New York, and probably im the Union. Can any Democrat be indifferent to this? Can any Democrat be Matter of ch: unconcerned about the success of a ticket which is to secure this latter consummation ? The New York Journal of Commerce is known to have always been strongly national. in its views, denouncing every indication of sectionaliam, no matter where exhibited—a Hunker—a Hard—and even entertaining opin- ions perfectly acceptable to what Mr. Seward denounces as the “ privileged classes,’’ and the “privileged States.’’ Hear what that paper says about the New York Democratic State ticket : “ The right, which can fe, on only available course, rescue the State from who dosire to jewardism. who wish for ity and integrity in its administrative affairs; who would see the executive depart- ment ith ‘men capable of exercising a salutary influence on legislation, is to vote for the Sorr Saati Democratic ticket.” ‘Those who wish to defeat the attempt to organize sectionalism, for the pang of pa fie Seward to the Presidency in 1896, will most effectually attain their object by assist ing to unite the Democracy in the support of such men. Itis the = power in the State that can conquer his motly troop of followers, and overthrow his plunder dynasty.’’ In our opinion, the Journal of Commerce is a much better judge of the course proper to be pursued by the anti-Abolitionists there, to accomplish what the Democracy of New York, as well as of the Union, have at heart, than any paper-out of it can possibly be. And it would seem to us that a Democratic press of power and influence, from its position or from aay other cause, can hardly be acting wisely in pursuing a course in this matter, orexpressing an opinion on it, counter to that of the Jozr- nal of Commerce, and egleulsted to discredit and jeopard the success of the Democratic ticket in New York; and so far as this is done, to strengthen the hands of Mr. Seward and his black Republicans.

Breeze, in whose possession about ten thousand dol- lars in counterfeit bank notes were found a few days since. and in that of his alleged con: federate, Charles A. Hurlbut, was resumed yesterday, befure Justice Brennan. Mrs. Rit- ter, the landlady of Breeze, upon whom he had a $3 counterfeit bill, was cross-examined at great length by Henry L. Clinton, Esq , counsel for the prisoners, but nothing confict- ing with the previous testimony was elicited, viz: that she had received from him a coun- terfeit bill in payment for board. She fur- ther stated that she had seen many persons eall at the house fur Breeze, but did not know the name of any of them except one who called to make arrangements for board, and his name she believed to be Edward Herts. This man was arrested on Sundey night while at the house, having called to see Breeze, and was taken tothe Tenth Ward police station, but for some reason requiring explanation, was discharged, but not by a magistsate, and con- trary tolew. He was evidently intimate with both Breeze and Hurlbut, as letters from him to the latter were found in Hurlbut’s trunk, and these were in a very familiar style. The trunke of Breeze were searched in open court, and among other articles were found like- nesses of two flashy-dressed females; also of four young men in a group, flashily dressed, and resembling in their appearance sporting gharaoters. large number of love letters from various females were aiso found in one of the trunks, and in another were vials of acids and drugs, a mortar and pestle, counterfeit coins from a sixpence to a dollar, besides other implements in use among counterfeiters Re- cipes for manufacturing counterfeit coin and for preparations fur removing words and fig- ures on bank bills, were also tound among his apers. . tireece was formerly a saleman in the store of Hitcheok & Leadbeater. He is believed porely to be the tool of a gang of counterfeit- ers who were preparing to operate largely at the time of his arrest. The investigation was closed in the afternoon, and Hurlburt was ad- mitted to bail in the sum of $2,000. The magierste refused to take bail for Breeze, he was recommitted to prison.—NV. Y.

Tur Rospery or tan New Mexico Marn.— A letter from the Postmaster of Jefferson City, Mo., published in the St. Louis Republican, of it 30, contains further information in re- ference to the robbery of the Santa Fe mail, on the 24th of October, between Jefferson City and St. Louis The deed was perpetrated by one of the passenger:, who styles himsejf (Charles Lea- man Gilbert, and says he is from New York.

The Cattle Show. Yesterday was decidedly a gala day on the grounds of the Agricultural Fair, (as we learn from the Baltimore American,) exceeding any- thing before witnessed at any of the preceding fairs of the society. At an early hour in the omnibuser, Vehicles, and pedestrians, and th: utthe d item dike Sioketeaee in the throng to a: , whieh was at times so at that care had to be exercised by the vers to prevent collisions, At Monument Brae there was a continual rush for the om- uses, and many were compelled to walk from inability to obtain conveyances. The weather was cloudy early in the morn- ing, which somewhat checked the throng of visitors. It cleared off, however, about 11 o’clock, and from that hour up to 1 o’elock there seemed to be an outpouring of a large portion of our pepulation. We did not ascer- tain the number of visitors during the day, but there could not have been less than twen- pave thousand persons. From 12 to 30’clock the lowest estimate we heard of the number present was fifteen thousand persons at any mc —— = = 1 great feature of the day was the parade of two companies of Flying Artillery, under the command of Major French, from Fort McHenry. They reached the ground at 2 o’clock, and immediately entered the enclo- sure of the horse ring; which covering about ten acres afforded quite a fine parade nd . The fence around the enclosure, which was more than a half mile in circumference, was lined with spectators twenty feet deep, and all the buildings and prominent points were crowded to their utmost capacity, whilst thou- sands were unable to catch more than an oc- casional glimpse of the troops as they dashed through their maneuvres. Their evolutions were undoubtedly very fine, and the rapidity with which they loaded and fired their guns, and again limbered up and moved off in good order was greatly admired. There was a large attendance of ladies also on the ground during the day, whilst the See- retaries of War, Treasury, and Interior De- partments, at Washington, and Mayor Towers, of Washington, and the officers and a number of the members of the Metropolitan Mechan- ic’s Institute were present as guests of the Socie:y, and the troops were reviewed by the Secretary of war, Ool. Jeferson Davis. The enjoyment of the day was, however, greatly marred by anaccident which oceurred when about half through the drill, which we fear will, if it has not already, terminated in the death of the unfortunate victim. Whilst in the act of loading one of the guns it prema- turely exploded, apd the man who was ram- ing the load was blown some distance, and most seriously maimed. His left hand, which was nearest the gun, was blown off above the wrist, and his right hand and arm torn and lacerated to the shoulder His left check was also blown portly off, and his whole face and body greatly mutilated, the impression being that the sight of both eyes had been de- stroyed. He was a German and a new re- cruit, but we could not ascertain his name. After his wounds were temporarily dressed he was taken to the infirmary in a furniture car- riage, but it was the impression of the surgeon in eee that his recovery was scarcely possible. The sports in the ring throughout the day were very fine, aud the display of horses and the tests of speed and bottom afforded great amusement to the snectaters. Indeed, we have never seen on a Fair ground more grati- fication than seemed to be experienced by all present, the attention being divided between the cattle, the ruening machinery, the horse ring and the grand military display, whilst the household department was also thronged.
