EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON ciry: WEDNESOAY................ November 14. _—_—————_—oo SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PREss The Union discusses elaborately the articlo in the London Times, with reference to the reasons inducing the British Government to send over in this direetion the 400-gun fleet In the course of its article it says with much foree : “If, as the Times intimates, they have really come to think in England that they are in danger of invasion by adventurers from the United States, they may also think that they have a call to look after the condition of things in Nicaragua; in which case, accord- ing to the very latest accounts, they will find Colonel Kinney quietly cultivating his farm on the coast. and President Rivas, in the in- terior, as quietly carrying cn his ernment with the efficient aid of General Walker.” The Intelligencer insists that there are no harsh or oppressive passages in the late cor- respondence between Britain and the United States with reference to the proper construc- tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. We shall see when the annual message goes in. We may possibly be in error in our idea that the harsh and unjustifiable language which Eng- lend has used towards this Government was applied in thecourse of the correspondence with teference to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It may have been on the subjects of the efforts of her agents to violate our neutrality laws, or oD some other pending question. That such langusge—grossly impertinent and uncalled for has been used on her part—has been used, however, we feel perfectly certain. The same paper says: «A letter from Naples, in the London Times, says that Mr Owen, on the part of the United States, has concluded a treaty with the Gov- ernment of Naples in which several new priv- ileges have been granted to American citizens. The question of indirect commerce has been ceded to the United States; soldiers are not to be bilited on American citizens in that eountry. Religious questions were not per- mitted to be discussed in the treaty.”’ —————_-2 0 -—____ Tas Yettow Feyer.—The report current in some of the nowspapers that the yellow fe- Yer, as an epidemic, had made its re-appear- ance in Norfolk and Portsmouth, and that thero wasa large number of cases in each place, is untrne. The only persons that have had the disease wi‘bin the past three weeks were men- tioned by us on Monday, (Messrs. Snead and Reynolds,) the first named having died on Saturday, and the latter beingvery ill. These two eases occurred in that part of Portsmouth known as Newtown. Mr. Snead had been at home three wecks the day of his death, ten days of which time he was down with the fever; and Mr. Reynolds bad been home about two weeks. They both boarded in one house, and slept in the same room. They so- journed in Mathews county during the late sickly season. In Norfolk, there was but one ease, that of a child, six years of ago, who had the fever very slightly. The above can be relied on, coming as it docs from our attentive correspondents at that point, who have ever been noted for their cor- reot reports of the progress and disappearance of the late terrible epidemic. 2 PERSONAL.

Rathbone, a paper manufacturer of Boston Four-corners, and the brakesman of the train were killed Upwards of « dozen passengers were injured, asd some, fatally.

Moore, re- siding near Mount Pleasant, Miss.. being un- der the influence of intoxicating drink, drew = revolver and fired at his daughter, but missed Ler.

Thanksgiving.—As no business will be transacted in this city to-morrow, the day having been set apart by our municipal av. therities for thanksgiving, no paper will be issued from our office on that afternoon. The suspension of work during that day falls hard en ali those in public and private employment, who, with their families, live on what is earned by working by the day. Thus, it will extract perhaps ten thousand dollars at least from the available means of the neediest class in this community—an effect of ‘‘ keeping’’ the occa- sion as it is usually kept—which, we presume, was not taken into consideration by the repre- sentatives (in the Councils) of our fellow-citi zens thus injured. The intentof setting apart the day as « holiday was, of course, all righi; but we question seriously whether the aggro- gate of harm done by it, will not be much greater that the good to result from it. Besides the loss of at least ten thousand dol- lars to those among us who are most needy, where one will devote the occasion to its reli- gious end, ten—quite ten—will avail them- selves of the opportunity to spend the day in hilarity; which, besides costing money, wiil tend to unfitthose so employing themselves for hereafter profiting as they should, by the lessons they might learn through regular attendance at the churches of the city Our ideas on this subject are unpopular, we know; yet we give them to the Star's readers because we sincerely entertain them, and in the hope that they may induce our next municipal councils to reflect whother it will not be better, asthe time approaches, to recommend that business be transacted throughout the city as usual on that day, and that alleat the best dinner to be obtained, and duly attend church in the evening. Fee, Fo, Fum!—Our Know Nothing friends are already smelling ‘‘the blood’’ not only of the “‘Englishmen’’ employed under the House of Representatives, but of every other mot!- er’s son who is attached to that branch of the public service. However well their anxiety to get possession of the patronage of the House may accord with tho oaths of their order, it loeks odd enough, in view of the indignation thoy have been expressing on account of the dis- position of the Administration to make politi- cal martyrs of their own (Know Nothing) cf- fice-holding brethren. As polities are man- aged now, no onecan complain if they take pessession of the whole of the House patron- age. That is, provided they can getit. It is, however, still questionable whether they can achieve any considerable portion of it. Cer- tainly not without agreeing to help into other offices under the House a fair proportion of Mr. Seward’s Abolition or Republican friends. There has been a sort of caucus of (outside) simon-pure Know Nothing leaders from a dis- tance in session here daily for some days past. Their aggregation at this point was probably accidental; the smell cf the blood becomes stronger, hourly, as the first Monday of next month draws nigher, and thus it very naturally attracts hither those disposed to take a hand in the task of arranging how the spcils shall be divided out. At present, if we are not greatly mistaken, there is a strong disposition among them to make the division on the rule upon which the negro divided ont the result of bis day’s fishing in partnership with the indian. ‘‘Here’s a shad for me and aher- ting for you; and a herring for you and a shad for me.”’ They will continue to sit daily, and their number to increase until the Con- gressional ball fairly opens; when those whoao action it is hoped to irfluence thus, will prob- ably take the liberty of managing their own matters on their own judgment, as truly un- gratefal as such conduet on their part will be, after all the disinterested labors in advanco of their friends, so full of solicitude only for a harmonious arrangement of the so interesting questions of the spoils, in which Mr. Seward’s Republican friends may reasonably be ad- mitted to have gome little interest. The Present State of the Affair.—We ap- prebend that the Uxiou of this morning will be found to be correct in its intimation that Bri- tain, if now disposed to iaterfere against tie actyal condition of things in Nicaragua, ax now existing, will quickly perceive that she has no case of existing facts on which to base even a plausible objection. Kinney is, es the Unson says, quietly cultivating a farm. That fs, aboyt an acre of Indian corn, and half an acre of bean, from the produce of which he and his half dozen loafing followers hope to be able to eke out an existence for the timo being in Nicaragua; and Waiker is, so far as international law is concerned, so employed under the government de facto of Nicara- gua, as to preclgde all right of England to ob- ject to the manner in which he got there Though we do not mean to intimate that he got there properly, yet beirg there and in the employment of the de facto goverumont, Eng land’s objection, if apy she essays, will come too late. There is a difference bejween ques- tigus of fact, and those of right. The former are now to be dealt with; while the latter would have boen the questions in issue had England seen proper to moye ip the matter when Walker was rcoently, apparently {illi- bustering on his own hook, in Nicaragua Sho (England) will have no more legal right to ob- ject to employment of the adventurer, Walker, by the Nicaraguan Government, tap to that of the advonturers Lombardino and Woll, by the Mexican Government; or again, to that of the refugee Walbach, by ours; the just men- tioned having been one of our honored and most deserzing military officers for more than hale a century. In truth, the Niearegyan question is beeom- ing exceedingly complicated, particnlarly by the necessity resting on Kinney to abandon all his colonization and conquest schemes and tura to be @ quiet and unostentatious culti- vator of one acre and a half of the soil; and also by the suocess of the reyolutionrey party of the interior, whose adoption of Walker throws an 3Uzis over him that may enable him to work out his ulterior purposes ynder gircum- stances compelling the acquiescence, without question, of all foreign powers, however uni- versally it may be adiwitied that the means through which he achieved his present ungs- sailable position were illegal, and sgch as de. serve the reprebension cf all. A Principle Sett) d.—Of late years a prac- tice has grown up here which bade fair in the end to make a considerable hole in Uncle Sem'’s strong box, viz: the enactment of amendments to bills by Congress, giving extra pay to public employees for alleged extra services. Such legislation is nearly slgogether the result of the ‘high time’’ the douse has during day and night for the last three or four days of the session. Many oases of the kind are peading before the court of clsias.. It was unwise to take them there, as they are more appropriately appeals to the generosity of Congress—not claims founded on law. The court, howevor, has very recently, in dis- posing of the case of Mr. Wm. W. Cox, who claims $3,339 for extra services as messenger to the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, laid down legal principles in connection with them which, it strikes us, will operate seriously against their future allowance by Congress. Those principles or rulings are as follows: 1. That under laws organizing the Treasury Department and its several bureaus, the Sec- retary alone could authorize the performance of any extra eervice in any branch of the Treasury De; ent. - 2. That a voluntary courtesy fs no ground for suit, either at law or in oquity, (1 Sander’s Rep., 372) and that this doctrine applies to the Government as well as to individuals. The Telegraph—is again busy with the Mex- ican drafts question, making sed blunders as usual. One account to a New York paper puts words in the mouth of Secretaries Marey and Guthrie, on this subject very similar to the way in which the Herald’s special corres- pondents assume to publish debates in cabinet council, that never cccurred! We stated, some time since, that the question involved could not be decided until the report of the conclusion of the boundary survey had been duly filed here. Ithas not yet been 20 filed. The subject, we have every reason to believe, has not yet been discussed in any way in Cabinet council; though it ir, doubtless, ready to be disposed of there, as soon as the certificate of the conclusion of the survey may be filed. We also stated some time ago that the Gov ernment are supposed to be most anxious to se- cure to the owners of the drafts, what all admit to be simply their just right; whieh is alleged to be interfered with by the letter of the law. We thought not long since that that letter would probably preclude a favorable response to the petition of our fellow-citizens who held the securities or pay orders in question But it is now said that the Mexican Minister here, himself officially and formally notified this Government that each succeeding draft had been drawn and disposed of by the Gov- ernment of Mexico, in payment 6f Jona fide obligations ; each such notification being made as the draft it covered was drawn; and the last, aa late as February last, actually in pay- meat of a portion of Mexico's share of the coat of the boundary survey, as it is satd to state on its face. Thus, Mexico having herself formally noti- fied the United States of her assignment of the money in question—having disclaimed all right to it that she would otherwise have had— the fact that that act was done before it was actually due under the terms of the treaty, we epprehend, as we trust, will prove sufficient to save our fellow-citizens who have trusted to her good faith, from Joss in this transaction. All right-minded persons will surely agree with us in at least hoping that this Govern- ment may find it in its power to save the gen- tlemen who have advanced money to Mexico in a legitimate way and for legitimate pur- poses, froia the wrong that the new Government (of Mexico) as it turns out, seeks to put upen them. Azer ah C. Flagg —Nine-tenths of those in all quarters of th. country familiar with the history of the financial affairs of New York State and city, for the last decade, will rejoice over the re-election of this gentleman to be the muuicipal comptroller cf New York It is universally admitted, that while he rigidly refuses to recognize political party in the ad- ministration cf public trusts committed to his charge, he has saved millions to the tax pay- ers of New York by tue Srmaers with which he has resisted the thousand and one appli- ances of the speculators who have handed to- gether to prey on his trust—the corporation treasury. The proserations sgainst the cor- rupt and unfaithful servants of the city, com- menced through the instrumentality of Mayor Wood, doubtless very generally owe their ori- gin to Mr. Flagg, whose knowledge of the de- tails of the corporation’s financial affairs has enabled him to inform the Mayor precisely who of his subordinates in office are honest and who corrupt. Gen. Cullom —It is becoming very plain, indeed, that this gentleman is looked on as an interloper, by the host of patriots swarming in Washington, yhg gre ambitious of clutching the post of Clerk of the House of Representa- tives. They and those among us looking for office under the clerk, the name of the latter being Legion, have, with great unanimity, resolved him to be far better suited to the office of printer, provided he will pay soize- thing handsome to those who having aspired to that office ars ready to sacrifice their pros- pects in his favor. The General is a bug-bear just now—decidedly the ugliest customer the the disinterested patriots havo—decidedly. The fact that he is sure of the yois, for Clerk, of every opposition member of the last Qongress sticks wonderfully, indeed, in the throats of hia host of ‘‘d—d good natured friends,” te whom we referabove. Virels Cullom! Maryland —The fact has been ascertained that the whole anti-Know Nothing legislature ticket hes been elected in Alleghany county, Md. This enables tho opposition to Know No- thingism in the Senate to stave off the ehoigg of a successor to tho Hon. Thomas G. Pratt in the United States Senate. Already it has been jetarmined between the leaders of that opposition to do that tajng, We leok upon this reaolution ag fortunate for the interests of the State, a Maryland could not be more se- riously injured than by the loss of the seryi- ces of Senator Pratt in tho National Conneils. Louisana,—The Democrats have carried their entire ticket for State offieers in Louisi- ana. Hebert C. Wickliffe is the Governor elect. The successfui candidates for Congress are George Eustis, Jr., Miles Taylor, Thomas G. Davidson, and John M. Sandidge; the three iast boing Demoerats, and the first a Know Nothing. The Current Operations of the Troasury Department.—On yesterday, 13th November, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Guorezrows, Nov 14. 1855. From present indications, there will be 2 very general suspension of all kinds of busi- ness in our city to-morrow. Services suitable to the oceasion will be had in each one of our cburches at the usual hour in the morning. The death in our of. no young person, for many years, has Gaused so”general a feel- ing of sorrow and regret as that of Miss Edes, t daughter of W. H. Edes, Esq. Her affectionate, tle air, and kind disposition in every circle in life wherever she moved, had won for her an unusually large circle of warm iB pape friends for one so young. She had for a number of years been an atten- tive teacher in the Sabbath School of the M. E. Chureh, of which she was a member, whore she labored faithfully and affectionately ia what is known as the infant class, and many of the young hearts that survive her, will hereafter cherish in their he: a kind re- membrance of her for the many lessons of wis- dom and affection which they have received from her. Her position, together with the fact of her being cut down by that fell destroyer, consumption, in the bloom of youth, like the tender plant nipped by an untimely frost, causes a deep, sincere sympathy for the family =e all who knew her.

ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. AvexanvEi, Nov. 14, 1855. Tke Circuit Court was engaged the greater part of yesterday with criminal cases. The case of Jefferson, for the murder of Breen, in consequence of the absence of material wit- ness, was continued till the May term. John McGinty, convicted of the grand larceny of $20, was sentenced te four years in the peni- tentiary. A few czvil actions were also dix- posed of. Last night, Lyceum Hall was occupied by a large and intelligent audience, in fact one of the largest ever assembled within its walls, to listen to the lecture of Rev. W. H. McGuffey. Ihe accomplished lecturer handled his theme, “Christian Benevolence,’’ ably and eloquent- ly. This is the first lecture of the winter course before the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation At Council, the resignation of J. P. Camp- bell, as superintendent of gas, was accepted; and upon petition of seventy-six citizens, the lower Board passed a roselution authorizing another popular vote upon the question of ad- mitting the Alexandria and Washington rail- road into St. Asaph street as far as Princess street, with a proviso that the rails should be laid on the eastern instead of the western side of the turnpike. The Aldermen—at least a large majority of the six present—seemed astonished at the Councils proviso; most of them made speech- es against it, and finally, it was unanimously agreed to strike it out. The resolution of the lower Board was then concurred in, and so the matter remains in state quo for another fort- night. The Misses Nivison and Smith open their course of lectures on physiology and hygiene next Friday at the Lyccum Hail. The Sun Fire Company intend uniting in the firemen’s procession at Washington to- morrow, taking with them the superb new suction Amt. A New Feature in Nava ARcuITEcTuRB. There is now lying at Feil’s Point a vessel of entirely new style of rigging to the mariners of this seotion of the world, but one which will probably be adopted by many ship owners, as It will be found economical. This vessel was built on James river, Va., for » New York house, and registers 625 tons burden. Her model is excellent. and there seems to be no reason why she may not make a fast sailer. She has three masts, the first of which is rigged with spars and square sai': like a brigantine, but her main and mize is are rigged pre- cisely like the masts of ooner. Her bow and stern have been handsomely ornamented since her arrival in this city, the former rep- resenting the head of a dog, and the latter an American trophy, over which is the name, Clairmount. By this style of rigging the ves sel will be much more easily managed with a less number of men then is required for either ashipor bark. She is styled by her com- wander a barkantine, and will soon test the experiment of her style of riz by a voyage to New Orleans. The result will be looked for with considerable interest by those engaged in shipping, and especially so at this time when sailors are scarce, and command more than ordinarily high wages —Balt. American. A House Tuisr Cavaur iy 81s own Trap. A day or two since Mr. Hartman and family, who have been spending the summer abroad, returned to their city residence, 495 Broome street. While putting down new carpets, ar- ranging furniture, and getting the house in order, a thief slyly and unobserved entered the premises and stole an dyercoat worth $35, besides two keys to outside doors. The cx- rt robbery was at once reported to Capt. urnball, of the 8th Ward Police, who placed officer Understiller to watch the premises, be lieving that the rascal would return at night to enter the house with the keys in his posses- sion, and attempt to plunder the dwelling. And sure enough ata late hour the thief re. turned and having opened the front door with the key, was caught by the officer, who found in possession not only the stolen keys, but the lost overcoat.
