The Union publishes the following tele- grephie correspondence between Governor Sbanaon and the President, a embracing all that has yet transpired between the Govern- mont at this point and Governor S., upon the subject of the revolution said to be in progress im Kansas. The Union explains that it is the President’s duty, under the law, to employ the military foree of the Government under such civeumsiances, to quell the rebellion, and that it will net be so used, (though it will be Promptly assembled to be ready to be used,) wutil after a resort to the usual peaceable means has been found ineffectual: Westport, (Mo.,) Deo. 1, 1855. I desire authority to call on the United States forces at Leavenworth to presesve the peace of this Territory, to protect the sheriff of Douglas county, and enable him to execute the legal preccssin his bands. If the laws are not exceuted civil war is inevitable. An armed force of cone thousand men, with all the implements of war, it is said, are at Law- rence.

Indignant Patriotism.—-Our ingenuous, Enewirg, amiable, end talented neighbor, seems bent on making bay whiie the sun shines. Or, in other words, on accumulating the very largest possible pile of anti-slavery capital in the brief eeason to elapse before a Printer for the House may be elected. In his issue of yesterday he grows exceedingly in- dignant against bis late friends who prove to be so weak in the knees, as demonstrated in the cffors to elect a Speaker—we mean the 12th seetion men. He tells them in effect, “Depart ye cursed,”’ &c. Peter himself, was not baif so quick todeny his Master, as our gen- tie neighbor’s journal, the masters for whom (ap to the palpable demonstration of the fact that identification with them is to be death toits hopes forthe House printing.) ite every issue up to that time breathed nothing but the most intense devotion to the Philadelphia platform; ond more especially to that 12th section, for which it was ready to fight, bleed, and die, at any moment and under all circum. stances. It used to tell us in effect that noth- ing but the now #0 unceremoniously kicked- and-cuffed-about platform, could possibly save the Union and reform the Government—noth- ing else under the sun. See its change of front, reader, in its issue of yesterday! Why, no “double summerset”’ of its conductor’s never-to-be-forgotten two- horse act in the Philadelphia convention wrg @ priming to it in point of political agility: It 2mounts to a double sammerset, with half a dozen *' flip flaps’’ on to the end on’t; landing our talented, amiable, knowing, and ingenu- ous neighbor far beyond the spring-board of the recent Cincinnati Choctaw convention— indeed, almost on to that on which the vener- able Joshua R. has been exhibiting his acro- batio feats, up to this time aliost solitary end e, for the last twenty yeard. We aduwire the patriotic and virtuous indig- uation with which our 0 sincere neighbor re- pudietes the Kuow Nothings proper—those “seeticnal’’ scamps who will insist that the twclith section was originally a sound plank, and is pt nlready so rotten as that it should be split up sans coremonte and used for stoye- wood ‘Who that has read our interesting neigh- bor’s leader of yesterday, can dream that Choctaw is not his vernacular? That to him it is a gift suddenly vouchsefed, by a miracle as itwere' Pshaw! the idea is ridiculous. [tis really to be hoped if the sentiment of gratitude bas the slightest space in his so pro- roially pbilanthrople bosom, that our friend Greeley will uot overlook the miracle, the retent display of bis power at this point has worked om our patrioti: neighbor. What, but teat display, could induce him to ridicule and revile the twelfth section and anathematise tae whole Know Notbing party of the South tof Union-swashers, bent on breaking Sousand times glorious confederacy sturbing the peace and happiness of his love—the Choctaw Nation of the non- holding States! Save the pieces! Save '' Save the pieces!!! The King of the Lobby.—Roally, when one rceects on the virtuous horror of the maohin- ery of the lobby, which the able conductor of the New York Tribune has so consistently displayed for the last fifteen years, whenever he had ceeasion to write of the way in whieh he has contended things are ‘ fixed” in this city, Le works it just now in propria per- soma toacharm. We had supposed that he would be the very last man on carth who would svil bis fair fingers by contact with those wires of pollution. The “ lobby at Washing- ten’’ has been one of his pet aversions ever ince we took to reading newspapers intently. thas he almost made our hair stand on end his pictures of its immorality, and of the consequences of its unchecked exist- enes to future of “ our beloved country.” Hs paintings of the dreadful consequences of free rum Were not more soul-harrowing. Bui we should Suppose that he must be get- ting bravely over some of the little idiosyn- cracies of his more juvenile days, from the ex- pertness with which he is just now discharging the duties of the great manager of “the lobby ot Washin, ’ if we did not know that he aimost threatened to comuit suicide because the late New York Republican State Conven- tion failed to say a word in itg resolutions EVENING STAR. |= against free rum. The manful battle that he made forthe Maine liquor law in the last New York election, however, satisfies us that he is still the identical Ho the aptitude for lobbying at Washi is displaying. However; if he goes on I 1g #0 very fast, we fear ere he takes bis departure for the so- much purer atmosphere of Albany or New York, that we shall hear his musical voice under our window some bright morning about 8 a. m., singing (between hickups) that sig- nificent ditty— « T won't go home till morning” — after losing his last red in a previous con- test with that dangerous wild beast, whioh is said to seek its prey o’ nights in this region— “the tiger.’’ Horace, “‘the tiger’’ is prone to “ the lobby”’ for its victims. Or, rather, “the lobby”’ are prone to bloody contests with that terrible native of the dark and secret recesses of ourcity. Heed our friendly warning in time, Horace; for there is no knowing what you may come to, if you go on astonishing eve- tybody by your intuitive proficiency in ‘the lobby.’ We should have given you up in de- spair before this, Horace, but fur our knowl edge how you fought, bled and died for the Maine Liquor Law in the last New York Ro- publican State Convention. Flarried.—When the opposition went to work in earnest for the first time, yesterday, in their efforts to elect a Speaker, the simon- pure Know Nothings of the House and the host of friendly advisers and sympathisers who cluster around them in the Hall, seemed to be ina very great flurry; as though they had discovered that what our t&lented, amia- ble, knowing and ingenuous neighbor used to call ‘‘our party’’ (before he ‘‘ packed”’ his journal over into the Republican camp, or at least within smelling distance of the spoils it is supposed they (the Republicans) may be about to sequester,) was about to be complete- ly squeiched in the real battle thus opening up between the Democracy and the anti- slavery men. On their countenances thore was depicted the very image of despair, tel!l- ing the tale, too, of their disappointment on finding that no one out of their own little or- ganization ceemed disposed to fraternize with them. In truth, in the voting up to the thir- teenth ballot, when we left the Hall, it was evident that their force of thirty votes was re- garded by all others as of little real import anée in the contest; not being sufficiently large to effect a result on either side. We caw enough to satisfy us that it stood ready to fuse with the Democrats of the House on any teruis, in agreeing to which they (the Hindoo Know Nothings) might appear to be preserving some importance as an element of political strength or capital in Congress. We need hardly add that the terms of the Democrats are simply that they will not refuse any votes given to their candidates nominated on a very stiff anti-Hindoo platform on Saturday night last These terms will be adopted by a majority of the twelfth-section men before a Speaker may be made, or tho signs of the times are exceed- ingly deceptive. The Changes.—We bave given the yeas and Bays in the original voting for » Speaker, by way of showing tho reader how the House stood originally divided. Yesterd®y, as we explain elsewhere, the changes in the position of the members were extensive; Mr. Camp- bell, of Olio, being the candidate on whom the opposition essayed to concentrate. Thus, on the twelfth ballot he received the votes of— Messrs. Albright, Allison. Ball, Banks, Bar- bour, H. Bennett, Benson, Billinghurst, Bing- ham, Bliss, Brenton. Burlingame, Chaffee, Ezra Clark, jr., Colfax, Comins, Cragin, Cum- back, Damrell, Timotay Davis, Day, Dean, Dickson, Dodd, Dunn, Durfee, Emrio, Flag- ler, Galloway, Giddings, Gilbert, Granger, Harlan, Holloway, Thomas R. Horton, Vaien- tine B. Horton, Howard, Hughston, Ketsey, King. Knapp, Knowlton Leiter, Mace, Matte- son, McCarty, Meacham, Killian Miller, = n, Moore, Morrill, Murray, Parker, Pettit, ike, Pringle, Sabin, Sage, Sapp, Scott, Sher- man. Simmons, Stanton, Tappun, Thorington, Wade, Wakeman, Walbridge, Waldron, Cad- walader C. Washburne, Elihu B. Weshburne, Israel Washburn, jr., Wateon, Welch, and Woodruff—75 votes. On the thirteenth ballot he reecived 79; gaining Messrs. De Witt, Knox, Norton, Wood, and Woodworth on this ballot, and losing Mr. Wakeman. On the fourteenth ballot he received 81 votes; gaining Messrs. Mott, Pelton, and Wakeman, and losing Mr. Damrell. This was his highest figure yesterday. On the fifteenth and last ballot thrown he fell off one vote. A Correction.—An erroneous statement hav- ing appeared in the Baltimore Sux, as to the weight of the boilers of the steam frigate Minnesota, recently launched at the Wash- ington Navy Yard, we give the exact weight of each and ail the boilers of the ship in quet- tion, viz: One boiler, finished, weighs 63,800, (about 234 tons.) Four boilers, when finished, will weigh 255,000, (about 114 tons ) The Voting, &c.—The Star's readers will recollect that asfar back asthe 30th Novem- ber we assured them that Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, could not command the votes for Speaker of more than 85 or 90 members. Tho result of yesterday's voting inthe House Hall tells the tale of the accuracy of our calculation thus far in advance of tho effort to elect. The Man.—Mr. Pennington is doubtless the gentleman on whom it was determined by the anti-slavery managers at a late hour last night,to make their desperate effort to concen- trate a majority. He is ultra Whig in all his political antecedents, and was a very con- sistent anti-slavery Whig in the last Congress. Nominated.—We heard at the Capitol this morning, that the Senate had received the re- nomination of E. Seaman, Esq., to be the Superintendent of the Public Printing, and presume that the report states the truth. Withdrawn.—This morning, sbefore the first ballot of the day was thrown,"Mr. Whitney formally withdrew the name of Mr. Hamphrey Marshall from the list of candidates for the Speakership. The Current Operations of the Treasury De- partment.—On yesterday, 5th of December, there wefe of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the Treasury Department For the [nterior Department.

ADDITIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SY THE AMERICA AT HALIFAX. © The steamer America arrived at Halifax on Wednesday morning, with Liverpool dates to the 24th of November. : ‘Bhe main featares of the news are as follows: A ake which is pane? premature, has been lated that Canrobert, the spe- cial representative of the Allics to Sweden, has concluded a treaty with Sweden, binding that powder to join the Western Alliance in the by operations by land and sea. The rented her part, undertako to restore Finland to Sweden. ‘ that Denmark would It was also follow the course of Sweden and Norway. The London Morning Post, however, discredits the story: gear also gives a circumstantial account of the Prussian Envoy having seen the Czar et Nicolaieff and obtained from him an assent fur Prussia to inform the Western Powers that ho is willing to treat for peace. This is also doubtful. Accounts from the Crimea represent both the Russians and Allies 2s prepared for the winter, and under cover. the Allies were still apprehending an attack from the Kus- sians. It was reported that a bombardment of the north side of Sebastopol wasin contem- piation for the pu: of enabling the allied fleets to winter in arbor. Marionpol, a town situated cn the north coast of the sea of Axoff, was bombarded by the Allies on the 30th of October, and eet on fire. When an Austrian merchant hoisted the Austrian flag over his warehouse the firing ceased. The London Post contradicts a story put forth by the Times that Canrobert on the part of the allies had concluded a treaty with Sweden, by which that power was to enter ac- tively into the Western alliances by land and sea, in consideration of which the allies were to restore to Sweden her ancient possession of Finland. Also Denmark had given in herad- hesion to the cause of the allies. The rumored disposition of Russia to make further advances towards peace, are consid- ered unfounded. It was confidently reported, how: ver, that the Prussian envoy to St. Pe- tersburg had visited the Czar at Nicolaieff, with the view of induci: ig him to recognise certain conditions as a basis for peace negotia- tions, and that the Czar listened favorably. The Prussian Cabinet had made known the Czar’s views to the Western Powers, who de- clared theminsufficient, but Russia and Prus- sia are still proceeding, and the Court at Ber- lin is making the greatest efforts to induce the Czar to consent to terms of peace. The con- tinuation of these negotiations offered some hope of their being chances for peace. t was rumored that Gen. Wrangle menaces the allied rte in the Straits of Yenikale. The allies had 30,000 troops there and were e ting large reinforcements. large allied force had embarked toria and sailed weet ward. Admirals Dundas and Penand, with a part of their fleets, were in the bay of Kiel. An allied steamer was on the watch in the Baltic for an American clipper supposed to be in those waters with a cargo of revolvers for Russia. Letters from Constantinople describe a bad state of affairs as existing there. Murders and robberies were being committed in the open streets, and there were evidences of in- creasing fanaticism inst Christians, es- pecially the French. e evil was so serious that the allied commanders had called on the Turkish Government to prevent further out- rages, under the threat of taking the police regulations of the city in their own hands. A despatch from Berlin states that the Rus- sian loan from the German capitalists had been concluded. we Cuar arrived at St Petersburg on the th.

The King of Sardinia is fr Paris, and has met # favorable reception. The Pope's Nun- civ left Paris the same day, in order to avvid meeting him. Itis reported that the Emperor Napoleon Les invited the Pope to baptise his expected eir. All the French i geaboats and mortar vessels are wintering at Cherbourg. Reivforcements of troops are being sent to Saragossa. where further disturbances are ap- prehended. The Spanish Government is reported to be unanimous in favor of joining the alliance, but the occasion is deferred. The Sound Dues Convention was to be open- ed at Cogenhagen on the 20th of November. Russia is the only pewer that proposes send- ing a special envoy, the other governments ac- crediting their resident ambassadors. St. Petersburgh letters state that in conso- quence of the facilities from frost, itis believed that great quantities of linseed will be export- ed overland; and that the general exports after December would be suthslent to produce a rally in the rates of exchange. Great quan- tities of Sulphur, Saitpetre, and other coutra- band articles continue to be sent over the fron- tier from Nemel. King Otho opened the Grecien Parliament on a 12th ult. He promises to preserve neu- trality. The difficulties with the United States have been settled tq the satisfaction of all the par- tics interested. THE LATEST. It is confidently stated in London that Lord Palmerston has determined on an immediate dissolution of Parliament, and to call a new one by February. Coprnuagen, Friday.—Canrobert is expeot- ed here to-morrow to remain a week The London Post denies authoritatively the alleged Swedish alliance and says that there is no present prospect of such an event.

James Griggs, the oldest sea oap tain and pilot in the port of Baltimore, died at his late residence in the eastern section of the city of Baltimore on Tuesday evening.
