EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESAY AFTERNOON.... November 6, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESs. The Intelligencer says of the elections of the current month : “ The public will look with no small degree of interest to the elections now in progress. and which will close the year’s canvass. In Louisisna and Mississippi the elections were held yesterday for a Governor and other State officers in each, and for members of Congress and of the ure. To-day the States of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin vote for Stste officers and members of the Legislature. Maryl will vote on Wednesday for State officers, embers of Con- gtess end of the Legislature. In each State the several perties are ne of success, but their ealculatioms can scarcely rest upon any other basis than an undefined hope. “In Massachucetts alone have the Whigs a Jegular ticket; there are three others, the Democratic, the Republican, and the Know Nothing. “Ta Kew York there are four regular tick- ets, the Hardshell and tae Softshell Demc- orats, the Republican, and the Know Nothing. “In Louisiana and Mississippi only is the contest narrowed down to two parties, viz: e Know Nothings and the auti-Know Noth- ngs.” The Union se‘s at rest the Know Nothing election story that saw the light yesterday (for effect on the Maryland election to-mor- row.) that the contract for the stone work «f the extension of the Treasury building, wa; unfairly awarded to Messrs. Beale & Dickson. The Know Nothing allegation is that the bids of M. @. Bmery and J. B. Emery were lower than that of those who obtained the contract. To give color to the charge, a few items ia their respective proposals are published—those on which the Emery’s were lowest; while the fact that they were much the highest on ail the other items (comprising at least two-thirds of the whole job,) was concealed. The Union cone'udes its refutation of the roorback as fol- lows : “Unfortunately for this transparent elec- eeling trick, both the figures and infer- es of this silly cslumniator are equally fa'se, as we are prepared to demonstrate from vouchers whieh ean be verified by examining the: ficial record of the Bureau of Construc- tien of the Treasury Department. The prices by the Know Nothing paper alluded to, will, when upplied to the quantities required, amount to as follows : ti Beale & Dickson .. $111,049 M.G Emery. St 263 J B Emery 65,804 “The bal. i aterials bid for by the parties, but not alluded to, amount as fo:- lows: Beale & Dickson ........ ++ $132,508 478,227 391,186 “The aggregate of the several bids, when calculated fo: the quantities required, amount to— Beale & Dickson.... + $243,557 559,490 + 456,820 “At thus appears that the aggregate bid of the Messrs. Emery, for whom the sympathies of the citizens of Baltimore are sclicited just on the eve of an election, is more than twice the amount of the bid of the gentlemen to whom the contract was awarded.”’ We may not inappropriately add that but one cf the Messrs. Emery proposed to use Maryland material; the other offering, instead, Massachusetts granite. Esrevre GRayt, on tae Lost Wire, is the title of a handsomely bound volume, which has teen sent to us by the publishers, Garrett 4& Co., New York. The author states that on: great object of the book is to show tie contrast between virtue and vice—to confirm the pure of heart ia their purity, avd to warn those who stand upon the verge of danger to fly whilst there iv yet time; an object in which we hope the writer may succeed, there being, in these days, abundant occasion for the exer- eise of literary qualifications to this end. Exeuanp’s Batties —The London Printing and Publishing Company has issued the first nuwher (embellished with a fine steel engra- ving of Admiral Sir Charles Napier) cf a work entitled ‘‘ England's Battles, by Sea and Land,” by Lieut. Col. Williams, and -printed in the best style of that establishment. We are indebted for this number to the agent now canvassing Washifgton. PERSONAL. sees Gen.

The Agricultura) Fairs of the Season— are about finally over. We have carefully read various accounts of nearly all of them occurring in all sections of the confederacy, and derive the impression that they prove the faet that such shows, previously occurring. have been of incalculable advantage to the practical agriculture of the country. That is: that the quantity and diffusion of im- proved varieties of stock, grains, vegetables, implements, 4c., &0,, have been very great indeed ; the result being manifest in the fact, that while there have been fewer specimens (than heretofore) exhibited of great superi- ority over every thing else of the kind shown, higbly improved specimens seemed to be in many more hands than ever before. The meaning of this is, that farmers of all degrees of means in the United States, are rapidly coming to avail themielves of the advantages of improved agriculture, which are now ex- tended to almost every thing appertaining to the plantation, farm and garden. in the region around Washington, for in- stance, where one farmer ten years age, pos- sessed Durhams, Devons, or Aldernays, there are thirty who own them now. So, also, with improved fowls, fruits, vegetables, and imple- ments. Thisia the key to the fact that the uninitiated at the recent cattle show and fair of the Maryland Institute were not struck as some years since with the remarkable ap- pearance of fodividual speeimens exhibited. Noarly all being greatly improved, the differ- ence between them was not so striking as here- tofore; and the fancy farmers who are ac- eustomed to spend enormously to make the most striking impression on the fair ground, now decline the trouble and cost of the extra grooming, training, and feeding, because others, without it, Lave come to”be able to show cpecimens perhaps equal to theirs for practical rerults, which the competent farmer realizes at a glance. However, nothing has been doing more fur the interest of our country within the last five years, than these shows. We regret to see that they are being turned, as far as possible, into race courses, after the old and bad fashion; in some eases with brazen-faced women for the riders. Such sports of course increase the sale of tickets of admission; but they give rise to perhaps more gambling, drinking, ani oiher dissipation, than grew cut of the old- fashioned race, a3 thousands on thousands (including thousands of females) visit the agricultural fair races, who would not be seen at an ordinary race course. We trust that the next fair of the United States Agricultural Society may be held in this city or its immediate vicinity. It is the most central point fur the Atlantic coast States and most accessible. If held here imme- diately after the next harvest, it will be at- teuded by many thousands of the first minds of the country engaged in agriculture, who would go nowhere else merely to be present atseuch an exhibition. Thia is because Con gress will be in session, and the Presidential- election cauldron will be boiling over; both of which circumstances will go to make Washington at that time unusually attrac- tive to persons of means residing afar off And more especially to men of leading minds and influence—men who, if they can be in- duced to give more of their attention to agri- cultural improvement, will, in the end, work wonders for the causes. We trust that the Na- tional Association, to which we refer above, will take this suggestion into consideration Held elsewhere, these shows are necessarily attended, principally, by persons from 2 coun- ty, a State. or a zection only. If held here at such & season us we eugzest, of the perhaps twenty thousand persons from a distance who will attend, there will probably Le due pro- portions from every State iu the Union. To-Day—the New York and Massachusetts State elections come off. In Massachusetts, it is probable that the straight Whigs will ad- here to their own ticket, though the Bosten Daily Advertiser plaivly intimates a prefer- ence for the election of Beach, the Democrat:« nominee for Governor, over Rockwell, the Ke- publican candidate; and also for the euccess of the Democratic candidates for the Legislature ia preference to those of the Republican or- ganization. Though this sentiment must pre- vail extensively in the straight Whig ranks throughout the State, unless the abaundoument of their Whig organization is very genoral, it seems to us, there can be little hope cf the triumph of the Democrats there; though their leaders, in writing to Washington, are very sanguine of suecess. In New York, it is likely that the Prince is to prove a true prophet, the chances being strongly ia favor of the Democratic (Soft) ticket Hardism has fairly aied out there; most of those of the Hards who have not join- ed the Know Nothings, having gone back into the regular organization of the party, The straight Whigs, too, design voting the regular Democratic ticket with great unanimily, in order to be certain of the defeat of Mr, Sew- ard 4 party. It is not to be doubted that, on consuliation among their leaders, this policy has been formally determined on. Teo Small.—We often realize the embar- rassment consequent of a want of space in the Star-and never more than on yeeterday, when, had it been in our power, we would have republished at length, the powerful ar- ticle from the Journal of Commerce, setting forth avd eaplaining the necessity resting on all in New York who value the perpetuity of the Union, to rally around the Soft orguniza- Con of the State. ‘Phe point of chief interest involved in that article, is the irrefragible Proof it embraces of the fact that Joba Van Boren, in biz love for mischief had sweepingly misrepresented its ends, aims and sympathies iu connection with the slavery question, in his late controversy with the Union. The drift of its positions is identical with that of all we bave written upon the divistous of “the party” in Now York sinee the Presi- detial eleetion ia 1852; our belief being quite as firm now aa then, that the minds con- treling that organization (of the Softs) are bent on restoring its masses, wholly undefiled with Abolitionsm, to the National Democratic party, and that notwithstanding the vain-glo rious vagaries and vaporings of Prince Jobo, they are succeeding to a charm in that patri- otis undertaking. ionce, indeed, the deser- tion, to the Softa, of Preston King, General Nye, Abijab Mana, jr, Benj. F. Butler, Bradford R. Wood, and the reat of the real negrophobists who not long sinoe had a guasi inde, tifi_ation with the Softs. Rufus Chogte.--One of the very best speech- » which have marked tha political career of i ai isked man, was thai leliyered a ine at the great syrcight Whig lhe meeting at Fanueil Hail, wherein he burned the bridge over which it might have been pos- sible for some of those thinking with him to go over.@ventually to the Republican organi- zation. Bis main effort was to illustrate the fact that the success of the Republican organ- ization is treason to the constitution and certain death tothe Union. The result of his reasoning was precisely that of the great mind at this time writing theeaders for the New York Journal of Commerce, vis: that it is the duty of all men who are opposed to a sub- version of the present government of the Uni- ted States, to rally to sustain the Democratic national organisation, a¢ being now the only party in which there rests power to check the tendency of the ismatic mind of the North to the destruction of the governmental system of the United States. Hon. David R. Atchison.—The letter of this gentleman to the committee of invitation for the late Battle of King’s Mountain cele- bration embraces an carnest appeal for South- ern aid to those who maintain the cause of the South in Kansas. He holds, that if the Free State party prevail in the formation of the institutions of the new State, slavery must be abandoned in Missouri—the aim of the emi- grant aid societies being to strike the institu- tion there, through Kansas; and also, that if the South triumphs in this contest, she will eventually secure a slaveholding State also in the southern half of California, and another in New Mexico. His appeal is a straight forward and manly one, and can hardly fall on barren ground. Mr. L. Q. Washington.—The retirement of this gentleman from the position long held by him in the Treasary Department here, which has just taken place, was occasioned by his transfer to the post of assistant collector of the eustoms at San Francisco, Cal. The new collector—Hon. Mr. Latham—wrote in for o thoroughly eompetent and reliable assistant, perfectly familiar with the business of the set- j tlement of custom house accounts, aud Mr. | Washington was very properly selected for the position. He has ranked here aa being with- cut a superior of his years, in the public rer- vice. A better selection for the public inter- est could not have been made. The Contest in Prince George’s.—£¢t107 of the Star : There was a Know Nothing meet- ing at this place, yesterday, at which Dr. Watkins spoke for them, and Bdward W. Bell, Esq., replied on behalf of the Union party. The latter was frequently interrupted by row- dies, from Washington and elsewhere, but succeeded in occupying the stand for an hour. To-night, at Marlboro’, there is to bo a joint political dizoussion, The Anties will elect the whole Union ticket in Prince George’s county by a decisive vote. Bowie's (anti) election to Congress is certain by at least 500 majority in the district. Yours, &c. B. Lavurew, Mi., Nov 6. Contracts Awarded. —The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded to Messrs.

We yesterday published a synopsis of the events attending the capture of Grenada, the capital of Nicaragua, ander the lead of Col. Walker, the notorious filibuster, and now add a few of the particulars: “After a maroh of miles, the little army came upon the outskirts of the town; uncon- sciously their pace was quickened; at lastthe| order was given to advance in double-quick | “vil, miscellaneous time, which was done with acheer. At length the old western whoop was given, which must | pensi, guardian from | Indian ¢ rrsteae econ have aroused many a slothfal his couch, and the whole force advanced on a barricade in one of the streets, and gained the plaga without any Fesistance. “At point some little Sighting was done, which resulted in one killed on theirside, (a native drummer,) some fifteen of the e killed and several taken prisoners. When the fighting wes over a few Americans had their attention drawn towards the San Francisco church by a few shots fired out of the belfry. Upon arriving on the spot they found about eighty prison- ers—men, women, and children—in the most abject state of misery, and in chains, all of whom were immediately released. The city being secured, the next step was to get ion of the fort. This fort is situate about a mile east of the eity, andon the banks of the lake ; it mounted one twenty-four and two eighteen pounders, and forty armed men ; for this assault, Lieut. Col Gilman and twenty- five Americans were detailed. On arriving at their place of destination, they got a warm reception from the enemy, who were stationed behind logs, posts, and boats drawn up on the beach; the gallant Colonel ordered his men not to waste ashot until they could ‘draw on the white of their eye;’’ advanced cau- tiously, but cooliy, when they commenced a brisk fire, which drove the enemy through the fort and into their boats. When charging on the city, Col. Hornsby led the American battalion, and though there were many fast ones in the crowd, the Colonel kept hia posi- tion in the van, being the first on the plaz: und burning the first powder on the enemy with his trusty and well tried rifle. General Walker, with his usual cooluess and bravery, was every where conspicuous, the profundity of intellect displayed in bis generalship, rais- ing him still higher in the estimation of his fellow soldiers. Thus ended the battle of Grenada, the Sebastopol of Nicaragua. Cross or toe Farr —The eighth annual fair of the Maryland Institute closed last nigh:, on which eceasion all the halls and galleries were crowded to their utmost capacity. Be- fore six o’clock the main hall was pretiy wel! filled, and in a short time after nearly all the machinery was put to work, presenting a scene of great activity unequalled since the opening of the exhibition. t eight o'clock, Hon Joshua Vansant mede a short addrese in which he thanked the public for their patronage and spoke of the flourishing condition of the Insti- tute.
