EVENING STAR. —————— WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDBAY...... ++s-November 2%, —————————— Pr APVERTISEMERTS should be handedin by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not ap- pear antil the next day. STINRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union publishes a letter from Dr. E. Read, of Torre Haute, Indiana, under whose are Senator Douglas now is, communicating the intelligence of that gentleman's serious and protracted illness, which will be reeeived with sincere rogret, indeed, by Mr. D.’s large circle of warm personal friends in this city. ‘The doctor has no hope that his recovery will be speedy, and adds that it is impossible fur him to say, at this time, how long it will be before his patient will be in a condition to leave his room. The Intelligencer says : Tax Awgrican Minister in Lonpon.—The tubjoined letter was addressed by Mr. Bu- chanan, our Minister in England, to the Times newspaper, denying the statement which had been put forth by that paper of assurances #iven to the British Government by the Amer- ‘ean Minister, when the war first broke out in the East, of the sympathy and support of our Government and people, and that the United States were willing to make the quarrel of England their own, and ready to aid her with thousands of stout hearts and brawny arms. There were abundant reasons why nobody on this side of the Atlantic, we presume, gave an credence to so improbable a statement, whic indeed carried contradiction on its face ; yet it was proper that the minister should meet so positive and grave an asco with the prompt and explicit contradiction which is contained in the annexed note addressed to the Times, but which it appears that print had the unfairness to refuse to publish : “The American Minister presents his com- pliments to_the editors of the Times, and as- sures them that they have been “misinformed”’ with egy to the expressions and conduct at- tributed to him in the leading article of this mpg A Always mindful of the neutrality of his Government, which he fully approves, it was with deep regret he learned as he first did fzom W ashington, that attempts were made in the United States to recruit soldiers for the British army; because he felt confident that these attempts would tend to weaken the friendly relations between the two countries, which it has been his ardent desire, ever since ‘Lis arrival in England, to cherish and promote. “The American Minister can, of course, er- ter into no discussion in the public journals of questions between the two Governments, or state what is or what is not contained in any correspondence which may have arisen out of these questiors; but he has felt it due both to the Times and himself to make this prompt correction. “36 Harley Street, London, Nov. 1, 1855.” a PERSONAL. --++Hon.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Dr. Valk. —This gentleman, in a letter to the editors of the Orgaz, published therein yesterday, explains with undisguised ardor the “platform” on whieh, as the honored rop- resentative of the people of the First Congros- sional District of New York, he stands. This distinguished representative sets a capital ex- ample to his fellow members who, like him- self are “‘groen’’ at least in Washington That is; he compresses the substance of what most of the genus would require an hour to spout in the Hall, at the expense of the na- tional treasury, in a few brief cpistolatory paragraphs; the subjects of which he treats be- ing such ag have formed the staple of ‘Bum- kum" that has from first to last cost the country hundreds of thousands of dollars in reporting and printing it only. The Doctor in- directly defines his position to be dead against fusion with the Republicans under the plea that some of them, too, go for extending the period of naturalization. The knowing ones last night, were evidently of opinion that his letter had been drawn out by the “leader”? of our talented, amiable, knowing and ingenu- ous neighbor, on again taking charge of the Organ newspapor, which squinted too strong- ly towards a coalition with any anti-national men who will unite with these who were adhe- rents of what was the memorable 12th section, before it was judged politic to throw it to the dogs, in the hope of clutching tho printing by #0 doing. , The doctor’s letter will be read with inter- est by his conetituents, and by all others who, like ourself, are aware that the bane of lozis- lation, is the habit of delivering hour speeches for bunkum in the House hall; and will, therefore, rejoice with us to find his example of defining his position in a brief letter to an editer, followed by all members who desire to talk to the public on general politics, or with reference to themselves, His virtual re- buke of the Organ for lightening the ship of every thing in the way of Know Nothing prin- ciples that our amiable and knowing neighbor gould lay his hands on (without throwing over- board the pretence of Know Nothingism itself,) in order to cross in safety the bar betwoen him and the public printing, though delicately expressed, tells the tale of the indisposition of some of the National Know Nothings at Icasi> to resist being traded off to the Republicans, body and breeshes, a3 a yuid pro quo for the House printing. Mail Steamers Entering Hayvana,—The fol- lowing is a translation of au official promuige - tion which we find in the Prensa dela Halana of the Sth instant: Government Cuptain-Gencralship and Dele- gated Superintendency of the Ever-faith- ful Island of Cuba. Government Orrice. Being suitably informed xs to the possibility of permitting the entrance, after sunset, of the mail steamers of the different lines which touch at this port, 1 have thought proper to resolve : 1. From this date the entering of the port is permitted to cvery mail steamer which may bave been signalized before the hour of eun- set. 2. Whenever, at raid hour, and after the colors shall have been lowered, any of said steamers shall be signalized, the Castle of the Moro shall hoist a white flag, which will be a signal that the vessel deseried can effect her entrance. 3. So secon as this shall take place, she shall be visited and examined by the deputation of the port, If it shall result from tho visit that she can be admitted to a free communication with the shore, the police shall ye the fast. placing her in charge of the custo! ouse officers until the following day at the usual hour. 4. Until this last shail be accomplished, no passenger can land without the express au thority of the Governor Captain General, nor any of the carge or effects of Any kind be landed, with the exception of t oflivial cor- respondence, which will bo received by the captain of the port. In order to prevent any violation of this rule, there shail be place and kept on board of the newly arrived ve. as many carbincers 2: may be decmed ne 84 Fy 5. If it shall result from the visit of the port deputation that the steamer cannot be admit- ted to a free communication with the shore, the moasures provided by existing regulations for such ease shall be immediately opted. . The port captaincy shall notify the cap- tains of mail steamers of tho necessity that their epgines should werk, while entering the port, with as little cffurt as possible, in order to avoid doing damage, inasmuch as they will also be heid responsible for such damages as may be caused by the want of this procau- tion. Jose ve La Concua. Havana, Nov. 6, 1855. Chaplains in the Army.—From the p2ou- liar tenure and mode of appointment of chap- lains under the act of July 5, 1838—being er- ployed “from time to time’’ by the council of administration, &o,—they cannot be con- sidered as officers of the Army, in the usual aeceptation of the term. Their services may, at any timo, be disponsed with without the exercise of the removing power, and they stand very much on the same footing as othor professional mex—like citizen surgeons, &e., who are occasionally employed in the Army for a specific and temporary purpose. But in regard to extra pay for sorvice in California, &c., Congress evidently intended to put them in the category of officers. By the act of September 23, 1850, the extra pay was granted to officers and men serving in California and Oregon. By the fifth section of the act of March 3, 1855, (10 Stat. 639,) the provisions of the act of 1850 were extended to the officers and mon garrisoning Fert Laramie, and the sixth section of the samo act (of 1855) applies the laws granting extra pay “ to chap- lains who were attached to the army in Cali- fornia during the period embraced in such laws.” Under these several laws it was held, that the cb+plain at Fort Laramie was entitled to his extra pay. Gun Cotton. —Inquiries having been made of us lately as to the use of gun cotton and whether it could take the place of gunpowder, we have obtained the following information on the subject from the Smithsonian Institution, viz: Gun cotton cannot be made with anything like the same uniformity in strength as gun powder, and its explosive property diminishes on being kept for any length of time It can be used with safety in the discharge of fire arms, but not with as much safety as powder Its cost, weight for weight, is a little more than gunpowder, but owing to its greater strength, force for force, it is cheaper. The governments of France, Prussia, Austria, Russia and Eng- land have made a great number of experi- ments on the use of gan cotton in fire srims, and in all cases the reports of the engineers engeged in making the experiments were against its adoption in the place of gunpowder. In blasting rocks it is used extensively. The Objections to its use are the @nequality of its action compared with guupowder, the cffect on the gun is greater, its projectile fo;ce varies with the compression of it inthe gup, it at tracts more moisture, alters slowly from loss of acid, explodes under some circumstances & 154 deg. Fahrenheit—the large sise of the cartridges, &c. 2 Tho Clerkship.—We have scon enough al- ready of the way in which Congressional af- fairs are to run next week, to bo satisfied, even eo carly, that General Cullom is to have no serious opposition for the Clerkship from the ranks of any wing of the great anti-Dem- ocratic party of the House. We question se tiously whether any other gentleman than the regular Democratic nominee will poll a dozen votes against him. The “outsiders,” who are usually credited with being competent to divine in advance how the Congressienal cat is about to jump, have come unanimously to this opinion, as far as wo can perceive. A fortnight ago half a dozen sanguine gentlemen considered their respective chances of beating the General so sure, as that they wore anxious to find suitable mansions in which to reside in Washington for the next two years, in the style becoming the Clerk of the House of Rep- resentatives of the United States. Wo are very sure that thoy have all subsequently concluded that it will be best to refrain from going to house-keeping here with such views, for a brief season at least. Tho Trial of Ex-Postmaster Kendall, of New Orleans.—Letters have been received in this city saying that the jury in the recent trial of ex-Postmaster Kendall, of New Or- leans, stood—one letter says, eleven for con- viction and one for acquittal; the other say- ing, seven for conviction and five for acquit- tal. It will be recollected that the first infor- mation, which came by telegraph and an- nounced the discharge of the jury because they could not agree, represented that they stood one for conviction and eleven for ac- quittal. It strikes us that it is fair to pre- sume that neither account may* be written down as being positively correct. A New Class of Claims.—We understand that many of the old United States Senators have presented claims on the United States Treasury for ‘‘constructive’’ mileage in at- tending the sessions of the Senate which take place immediately on the adjournment of a Congress. Of late years the Senators have been paid mileage under such circumstances, aut of the contingent fund. As the moncy to pay these claims of ex-Senators, who went out of public life before the custom began, must come directly out of the United States Treas- ury, it strikes us as being probable that they will eventually have to go to Congress for the necessary appropriation, if paid at all. They Protest.—We find that the Southern Know Nothings now in this city very unani- mously refuse to trade off the twelfth section of the Philadelphia platform in order to se- cure for any one any office or pap whatever in the organization of the “House. We here re- fer to those of them who are not expectants of sharing in the result of such an entire aban- donment of the position which the Know Noth- ing party of the South has ocoupied on the slavery question, if it be fourd possible to drive the Southern Know Nothing members into so doing. The Hon. Howell Cobb was expected to have reached Washington yesterday, but failed to arrive, owing, as he writes to a friend, to the recent death of his father. He advises strongly against any effort to secure the or- ganization of the House on the part of the Democrats, by a coalition with any other par- ty, whatever, conceiving that the ultimate ewbarrassments to result from pursuing such a policy, will cost the Democracy much more than they can achieve by the consummation of any such bargain as we intimate above. The Vacant District Judgeship.—So strong is the impression among those usually earliest to’ know the truth in such matters, concerning the filling of the position of Chief Justice of the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia, that we have every reason to believe that they are correct in the impression that his Honor Judge Dunlop will be promoted to-day, or vory shortly, to the vacant post of Chief Jus. tice The Current Operations of the Troasury De- partment.—On yesterday, 27th of November, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $27,950 86].

Accipent axp Deata.—Scarcely a day passes that we are net called upon to announce the death of some one by the careless hand- ling of fire arms. The Richmond D: bh states that on Sunday morning last, Mr. Chris- tian Koch, a German citizen, accompanied by friend, left their homes at an early hour and repaired to Williams’ Island, on James river, rege miles ifs of Sian 40 shoot duck. r getting there, they pre: atem; blind and took their sea! await the a] proach of game.
