EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY «04. .........+.0000 November 12, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union moralizes over the “ isms’ of the day ; and is of opinion that Senator Sew- ard, though so severely beaten in the recent New York and Massachusetts elections, sl- read aims to pull wool oyer the eyes of the simon-pure Know Nothings; and it also laughs at the purile threats of the London Times, pointing to England’s manifest imbecility and humiliation in connection with the Russian war, to justify its contemptuous opinion of “the Thunderer’s”’ bluster. The Intelligencer, commenting on the trans- fer of the large English fleet to our waters, says : “‘Several of the London letters and newspa- pers, looking to something more practical than this absurd suggestion, intimate that the trans- fer of the flect had its origin in the reports that had Bm reached England asto the un- friendly disposition evinced by this Govern- ment and people towards the Allies. in coun- teracting the movements of foreign agents to obtain recruits in the United States; whilst others attribute it to the misunderstanding that has just been disclosed concerning the construction of the treaty relative to Central America.” The same paper republishes @ letter from London to the Philadelphia North American, giving as the reason why the fleet was ordered hitherward, the fact that the serious misunder- standing has oceurred between the two govern- ments, to which we refer and which we ex- plain at length, elsewhere, to-day. ror oo Tuz Yertow Fever.—We have a letter from Portsmouth, written on Saturday, in- forming us of the death, that morning, by yel- low fever, of Mr. William Snead, and of the illness of Mr. Samuel Reynolds. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSsIP. The Accessory Transit Company of Ni- caragua.—We subjoin below the letter from the counsel of this company referred to in our last issue. For the hundredth time we say that we do not assume or presume to speak for the Administration, which has at this point its credited and admitted organ, in the Wash- ington Union. We publish a newspaper, ix- dependent in all things, and neutral in noth- ing; defending and approving what the Ad- mivistration may do that seems to us proper to be done, and so doing only when and where, in our judgment, it does rightly. We have no facilities for learning its views and obtaining information of its acts which are not equally open to all in Washington. The truth is, our experience and laborious efforta to sift the true from the false floating around us, ena- bles us to be more frequently correct in the information we publish concerning public af- fairs, than any other journal. This is our only advantage, and it is that which has superin- duced the public impression that we are hon- ored with a confidential relation towards us, by the government. Having thus corrected the misunderstand- ing as to the importance of our views in this matter upon which Mr. White bases his com- munication, we have but tv add that we sin- cerely trust that all he says of the acts of the Company may be substantiated hereafier. We have steadily done our best to advance its interests, as a great enterprise of American citizens in which millions of American property is involved, and, as one, on the success of which the assurance to our countrymen of one of the most important chains of communication between our Pacific and Atlantic regions—a matter of prime national moment—is bound up. We shall, therefore, rejoice, we repeat, to find that no responsibility for the triumph of Walker’s efforts to involve the Government of the United States in international difficul- ties, such as we, at least, have steadily set our face against, rests at its (the Transit Compa- py’s) doors. In venturing to declare what we believe the Government would feel to be its duty in the premises, we were guided only by its scrupulous and high toned integrity of con- duct in all that it bas, since March 4, 1853, taken occasion to do with reference to fillibus- ters aud fillibustering. Thue, it has steadily treated sll who have ventured to fillibuster from the United States, as without the pale of its protection (or of its care, further than the dictates of ordinary humanity may warrant ;) and we can see no reason why there should be «& chango of its policy in this case, if, as the Journal of Commerce and other leading New York papers intimate, there has been that complicity between the Transit Company and Walker, which its counsel denies. We sin- cerely hope that it may be in the Govern- ment’s powor to make the firing into the San Carlos 2 matter on which at least security against the recurrence of any thing of the kind may be insisted on and obtained. Yet we have no idea, judging by what it has done against Gillibustering, that it ean do so, unless it is mado perfectly clear, that in s0 doing it is not, after all, encouraging fillibustering. New York, Nov. 8, 1855. W. D. Waxxacn, Ese. Edstor of the Evening Star. Dear Sre:—In your paper of the 7th inst., Ihave read the following editorial remarks, on the outrages recently committed on the passengers by the line of the “Accessory Tran- sit Compeny,’’ and on the property of the Company by the troops of the Government of Nicaragua: ‘We bave not been able to understand pre- cisely how much of Walker’s late success is attributable to the alleged recent complicit of the Transit Company in his schemes. [ is however, very certain that the reinforee- ment from San Francisoo, that enabled Walker to take Granada, came downon the Transit Company's steamer, it is said with the knowl- edge of the company’s officers on the Pacific tide. Without these recruits, Walker ceald not have possibly sueceeded, nor could his af- fairs haye been in their present flourishing ondition but for the aid and comfort the Tran- ompeny’s officers and boats gave him on the Lake. The firing into the San Carlos Steamer was evidently the result of the act of the company in taking sides in the civil war. We coniess that i by the Jest arrival except that with which a the other journals have been furnished; and on that alone we are now commenting. The most important result of the late occurrences there bids fair to be to compel the Govern- ment of the United States to decline takin any further care whatever of the interest oe the Transit Company, which cannot be a party to the civil war in Nicaragua while claiming the protection of the Government of the United States. We await detailed advices from that quarter with no little interest. There is a screw loose in Sau Fran- cisco in comnection with this matter; else how e Walker's reeruits able to get off without nter position of the authorities ?”” Itis uot the habit of the company to reply to accusations made against them in the pub- lic press. Your paper, however, coustitutes an exception. as it is presumed to 8} the sentiments «f the Administration at Washing- ten, and for this reason it has been deemed Er to contradict the statements and repel ¢ inferences of the article quoted above. “The firing into the San Carlos steamer” the was not “*the-result of the aet’of the tom- pany in taking sides in the civil war.’ In © recent revolution the com took no side. On the contrary, from the hint § com- mencement of the “civil war’’ bere — persevered in, and preserved a icy of ex- aid, direct tire neutrality. Repeated made by aauk party to them and indirect, and every application was re- — unconditionally as soon as it was made. respective agents on the Isthmus were instructed todo no actand express no opinion that might be ed as an interference or a preference in behalf of either party, on pain of instant dismissal; and these instructions were published along the whole line, and were, 80 far asthe officers of the company have heard or known, scrupulously observed by every agent and every subordinate omployee. And that they were so observed the fact is evi- dent from the letters which the company re- ceived, by almost every ship, from the leaders of both the Government and Revolutionary party, complaining of their neutrality, and insisting that by the mere act of taking sides, the revolution would be ended, and peace be restored! Promises were made in any abun- dance by both parties, of large pecuniary ad- oe as inducements to the company to contribute by the moral force of opinion alone to the success of the one or the other. The promises and inducements were all unavailing, when by acting on them the company would not — een saved from great loss, but would have secured advantages of almost in- calculable benefit. Is it not a little Te that the company should be charged with “taking sides’ by you, when each party in Nicaragua has as- sailed them with constant complaints for not “taking sides?” If any ‘side’? had been taken, the company, it is quite natural to suppose, would not have been molested by that sido. And yet the revolutionary party seized our mules and boats, with force of arms, for the transportation of their troops and mu- nitions, and the government party fired into the steamer San Carlos while she was laying at anchor, killing a lady and child. Their troops also fired on unarmed and unoffending passengers, murdering five and wounding eight others. Our agent, Judge Cushing, was by government officials dragged from his bed, imprisoned fifty-five hours, threatened with execution, and only released on payment cf $2 000 of the company’s money. By the one party, you will observe, their property was appropriated, and their business interrupted ; by the other, the passengers were killed, and the agent imprisoned until he yielded to exter- tion and plunder! Which of these “ sides,” think you, did the Transit Company take? As to the statement that ‘‘the government of the United States will decline taking any further care whatever of the interest of the Transit Company,’’ because it has been “a party to the civil war in Nicaragua,’’ it is Proper to say that it is perhaps the right of the government (and it may be the inclina- tion of the government) to withhold their protection from three millions of American roperty invested in the Transit Line, and to eave it to the mercy of =u on from the jus- tice of this country, and those who deserve justice in Nicaragua It may be the duty of the government to witness with indifference the murder and plunder of their citizens and the spoliation of their commerce, and te re- fuse a demand for reparation, or toinflict pun- ishment for either outrage or all of them. But if the government have such right—and if such”be their duty; if ne demand for redress is to be made; if robbery and murder are to go unpunished, let the government at least not leave the exercise of the right and the per- formance of the duty so humane to itscitizens, on the miserable invention that the ‘com- pany have taken sides in the civil war.” If excuses are needed by an Amsrican gov- ernment for a policy of non-interference for the protection of American property and the punishment of murderers of American citi- zens, they must be sought for and found, if found at all. outside of the conduct of the company, with reference to the unfortunate war which has so long desolated Nicaragua. Very respectfully, J. L. Wairs, Counsel to Aecessory Transit Company. British Bluster.—it seems to be generally understood here that the sending over the four hundred gun ficet, and the English newspaper bluster with which it is accompanied, are the result of the rage of the English Government at finding its cause in the current Russian war so entirely without American sympathy, in this, her hour of greatest commercial danger from the effect of the war. They are both — the sending over of the fleet and the bluster of the Times ct. al.—acts cf desperation as it were; the result of the madness superinduced by the “‘straights’’ and tho disappointments in the Crimea, in which England now finds herself involved. No bedlamite ever rave more incoherently and wildly thau the Times, in ite explanation of the reasons why the fleet has been ordered hitherward. That explana- tion requires no detailed notice; as what it states of occurrences taking place here at this time (on which the necessity for sending over the fleet is alleged) is #0 glaringly and notor- iously false from beginning to end, as to be ap- propriately met orly with a shout of derisive laughter from Maine to Louisiana. However, we may no longer refrain frem saying that we believe that our relations with England have been ina very unsettled and disagreeable condition ever since Mr. Cramp- ton’s complicity with the violation of our neu- trality laws was ascertained beyond question by this Government. We have not chosen to allude to this fact before, as we feel it to be our duty (learning many things incidentally, as we do, which the public: interest requires to be kept out the newspapers for a time,) not to assume the right to make public matters which those responsible for the safe conduct of American public affairs are believed to be anxious, for the public interest, to withhold from the public knowledge temporarily. But the fact having got in the newspapers, we do not now hesitate to say that it is understood among the foreign ministers here and their friends, that the annual message will necessa- rily show that England has been pursuing to- wards the United States, for months past, a course of insolence and bluster, and of as- sumption of the right to manage our affairs at bome and abroad, which will rouse against her, in December next, the deep animosity of every Ameriean with really an American heart in his breast. It is very clear to us that her Government has allowed itself to be cheated into a belief of the truth of the comments of such journals as the New York Herald, on the position of the American Government st home ; on which it bases its bluster, which, in point of insanity, is, if we are not greatly mis- taken, not a whit behind that of the London Times in its comments upon the sailing of the fleet to which we refer above. We presume that the earlier exploits of Walker in Nicaragua and the reiteration of our demand that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty shall be honestly carried out, forms the basis of much that is believed to be offensive in Eng- land's tene, and that its bearing with rela- tion to Mr. Crampton’s affair embraces the balance. Nevertheless, we do not entertain the slight- est apprehension that the current misunder- standing between the two governments will be of long duration. Buster is the only ar- gument left for England in her present posi- tion with reference to the United States. It has been tried as « last rezort to get her out of the most unenviable “situations,”’ in which her efforts to elude her obligations under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and to carry on her present Russian war tothe best advantage, have reduced her. She has evidently sent her fleet ! ¥ i ject, after all. over here In the” belief that she was to deal with just such a Government as the New York Horaid tells her the United States have, and that the national moral of our people in the matter of sustaining their Government in an. international difficulty. is fairly represented by such individuals as Mr. James Gordon Bennett and the precious set by whom he is surrounded. Now, as war with us‘ will be the almost instant destruction of all her inter- ests not yet‘‘squelshed’’. in her contest with Russia, we predict that the steamer bringing to ourshores the newsof the reception in Eng- land of the proceedings of Congress during the first fortnight of next month, will bring that which will amount to’an entire abandon- ment of the present insane inselence of the British Government towards the United States. Kansas.—The conductors of the New York Tribune are true philisophers after all In- stead of raving and tearing the covering of their nether integuments—in ordinary par- Jance, their pantaloons—over the probable ef- ect of the demolition of Republicanism as a party of respectable pretensions, on the chance for the success of their scheme to put Gov Reeder int» Congress by virtue of their ‘“‘high- er law,’’ they aragcoolly whistling to keep up their hope of the final triumph of their pro- Yet they frankly acknowledge that the results in Massachusetts, and New York, have knocked all their Kansas-case cal- culations “into the middle of next week ;”’ by the end of which time, however, (they are es- saying to whistle themselves into the belief) there will be a chance for getting the delegate seat affirmed to Reeder by a vote ofthe House. Bah! They play a fool’s game in thus cheat- ing themselves. They assume that Whitfield was elected by a Missouri mob ; though Reed- er, until he turned Abolitionist to ward off the effect on his persorfal future of the necessary action of the Executive on acsount of his com- plicity with speculations in the lands of his official wards unbecoming one of his position, himself acknowledged and maintained the va- lidity of the authority under which W. is re- turned to the House. And then they wheel round and demand that the seat shall be affirmed to Reeder, who is notoriously elected under no pretence of authority of law whatever, by a Kansas mob. They are furious against the ‘Higher law’’ when it goresthem, and as furious for it a moment afterwards, when it promises to gore their opponents. Gentlemen of the Tribune, admitting for the sake of argument that everything you say of the invalidity of Whit- field’s election is true, it only goes to make assurance doubly sure, that Reeder cannot get the seat under Avs late pretended election. Had you carried Massachusetts and New York by sweeping majorities, you might have frightened every opposition Northern member, or nearly all of them, into aiding you in ee- tablishing the “‘Higher law’’ of mob election, as the law of this case; but the contemptible minority in which you now confessedly stand in your late boasted strongholds, renders it certain that you will have no man (member) with you on the Reeder question, who is not fastened to your fortunes, As to Reeder; his Separation from them with a hope that he may hereafter live asa public man, is a moral im- possibility in the mind of any sane man. Gentlemen, you have played your game badly—shockingly, indeed—and have lost al!; Reeder included. You have exposed the charlatanism and insincerity of your “higher law’? protestations and professions in the man ner in which you have played this last Reeder, game; and the people, in what you lately boasted to be your strongholds have, in these elections, repudiated it so signally that, with all your well-known ‘cheek,’ you cannot as- sume to deny that so important fact. The Happy Family.—Already have tho opposition fairly achieved from the distracted Democracy of New York, this apposite title that Barnum gave, first, to his harmoneous col_ lection, in a single cage, ef a great variety of beasts, birds and reptiles, which in a state of natare, invariably destroy each other. The New York Trisu~e, noticing the recent call of Messrs. Clarke and Whitney—two Sil- ver Grey Know Nothing New York members of the next House—for a Know Nothing Con- gressionalcaucas here on the 29th inst., brands it as a Silver Grey trick to stock the cards to secure the election of Mr, Haven tthe Speak- ership! The Tribune's indignant and con- temptuous article proves the correctness of our opinion long since expressed, that Mr. Haven cannot get the Republican vote, which is, in fact, more than half of the strength of what was originally elected as the Northern Know Nothing vote. True, Mr. Haven has taken occasion to place himself emphatically against what the South regards as her gonsti- tutional right with reference to slavery in the territories. But that “salt”’ will not save to him the Republican vote of the House. So that, which, according to the Tribune, is the Silver Grey conspiracy of Messrs. Clarke and Whitney, has already exploded; it being well known that not a Democrat elected as a friend of the polioy of the Administration (and the House contains no other Democrat whatever,) will vote for him. Mr. Haven is a competent man in all respects, and would make as able and fair a Speaker as any man in the opposi- tion. Yet he will be as sure to fail to get the vote of the Republicans, as Mr. Lewis Camp- bell will be to achieve that of the members elected as Know Nothings from slave-holding States. Apropos—We perceive that some of the twenty-five or thirty aspirants for the clerk- ship of the House, who are really cheating themselves into the belief that they stand a chance of being elected to that position, have again started the story that Gen. Cullom is “probably” a candidate for the House print- ing! We find it last revamped in the Wash- ington correspondence of the New York Ez- press. This is, of course, done in the hope of killing two birds with one stone—of getting him out of their own way; and enabling some of the rickety ones who not long since aspired to clutoh the printing, to make something by black-mailing him in ease he may be chosen todo that work. Gen. Cullom is along head- ed man; and we predict that it will take smart- er mon than are engaged at the work just now, tofool him with chaff. Inthe first place, he will make no sacrifice of himself to acoomo- date any of them; and in the next place, no one will beable to coax him into paying them anything whatsoever for pretended sacrifices of pretended interests of their own, which have no existence except in the ridiculous as- pirations of the dreamers themselves. Tho Elootions.—We have, at length, some- thing reliable from Louisiana and Mississippi. A dispatch from New Orleans, dated on Sat- urday, says that Geo. Eustis (K..N.) has been elected wos in the fist district, Miles Taylor (Dem.) in the Soond—Hunt’s;—that in the third, as far as heard from, the Democrats are ahead; and that nothing was known there then concerning the result in the fourth district, From Mississippi we learn that the majority for the Democratic State ticket is at least 5,000, and that they have swept every district for Congress, and haye 35 majority on joint ballot in the legislature. Resigned, Appointed and Promoted.—Mr. Jas. D. Nourse has been promoted to a second clags clerkship ($1,400 per annum) in the Bureau of the Quartermaster General, vice Matthew Markland, resigned. Mr. Tobias Martin, of Florida, bas been appointed to the first class clerkship made vacant by Mr. Nourse’s promotion, An Army Officer Besigned.—Brevet Major Israel B. Richardson, Captain Third Infantry, U.S. A., has resigned, to take effect on the 30th September last. Appointed.—Licut. Winfield Scott HMan- cock, of the Sixth Infantry, U. S.

Tho steamer Northern Light arrived at New York on Sunday morning, bringing California dates to the 20th of October, but no specie. By this arrival we learn that all was quiet onthe Isthmus. Walker and Chamos’s party had agreed upon terms of peace, and Rivas was appointed President, Walker having de- clined the honor. He had, however, been ap- pointed commander {n-chief of the Nicara- guan forces. Parker H. French, formerly of the Sacramento Tribune, had been appointed commissary of war. The people of Nicaragua appear to be pleased with tho new state of affairs, and no m rouble was apprehended Col. Kinney remained at Greytown, and Wal- ker was reported to be disposed to drive him out of the country. The mail steamer which left San Francisco on the 20th ult. for Panama had $2,000,000 in old. . The California news is unimportant. The Sierra‘Nevada, from San Juan, which arrived at San Franciscoon the 9th, lost 45 passengers by cholera, three of whom were cabin passen- ers. Indian troubles in Oregon continue to as- sume a serious aspect. Major Hallet and his forces had been surrounded by the Indians at a point above Dalies, without food or water for forty-eight hours, and Lieut. Day and 150 men had been sent to their relief. The steamer Golden Gate arrived at San Francisco on the 15th. The Cortes had not arrived on the 20th. The U.S. steamer John Hancock had ar- rived at San Francisco from Petropolowski, bringing news that the Russians were in great force on sea and land. at the Amoor, and anx- ious to meet the allied fleet, who were proba- bly in the Gulf of Tartary. The British steamer Baracenta, had been at Ayan and found the | pele deserted, but discovered an amount of secreted goods, belonging to the Russian fur Company, which were seized. The steamer then went to Petropolowski and on- tered that with the American flag fying, fired into the town and then left. When off Elizabeth island she encountered a Bremen brig with 140 Russian officers and svldiers, which she captured and carried to Hong Kong. Seven clipper vessels had arrived at San Francisco {rom the Atlantic ports. Their car- goes were really sold and business had con- siderably improved and most eastern merchan- dise had been paying fair profits. Domestic flour was selling at $9 50a$10. Wheat $2 752$3 25. Clear pork $42; moss $33 50. The balance of the treasure ($60,000) sunk in the Yankee Blade has been recovered. Five hundred men, under Capt. Foy, of Sacramento, had left there to join the Walker fillibusters On the 9th ult. the Indians on the Ri river massacred over fifty whites. Major Fitz- gerald pursued the Indians, killing thirty of them, and wounding ten of his own men. = + Morper is Ricumonp —A man named Le- cock was found, on Friday morning, with his head 78 open, lying in a shanty, in Dock street, Richmond, Va. The house had been fired by the murderer, and the body when found was scorched by the flames. The whole matter, says the Enquirer, is enveloped in mystery. Tue Bark Maavouia.—The celebrated bark Magnolia, of Filibuster memory, was knocked down to the highest bidder at Mobile, on the 2d inst., under a decree of the Court rendered by consent of parties. The vessel and arma- ment were bought in at a nominal price by the original owners. Wuar 1s Harrep?—An envious name; a theme for devils; the parent envy, jealousy and rage.
