SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, in republishing comments. of the Philadelphia Inguirer upon the pres- ent phase of the Enlistment question, takes covasion to say: “A great nation like the United States is certainly not called upon to be satisfied with an inadequate Lk CS ES for any affront in- tentionally offered to its sovereignty; but it is equally true that a great nation owes some- thing to that conscious sense of its own digni- ty and power which should preserve it from ent. ‘ini the perpetual suspicion that othe ions are studiously seeking to offer it insults or injuries A litigious and cavilling spirit is no more commendable in the inter- course of States than among the individual members of private society, and international comity is as poorly vindicated in the one case az social courtesy in the other. insensi- bility to the requirements of good breeding may be as unfortunately shown in a oe 7 accept an ample reparation asin a ‘‘tamesub- vs oh to ae ;” for he who refuses to ac- cept the former when sincerely.tendered proves himself unworthy of the deference which he claims by his inability to appreciate the reci- al obligations im by the amenities of society. And that which is true of men seems equally true with rence to the great com- munity of nations; and, if among the latter it is ful and obligatory to make apology for unintentional affronts, it must be equally graceful and obligatory to receive it in the same spirit by which it appears to have been prompted.’ Of the state of the gubernatorial contest in Wisconsin, the Intelligencer says : i “A telegraphic despatch received last night from Milwaukie states that the Hon. William A. Barstow yeaterday resi, the office of Governor of the State of Wisconsin. It does not appear that the Supreme Court of the State bas yet made a decision upon the ques- tion to which we referred yes' ay but the di teh states that Mr Bashford, the com- tor of Governor Barstow, was yesterday ven before the Supreme Ccurt to be elected Se majority of about one thousand votes’’ The Lieutenant Governor is acting Governor, pending the solution of the contest before the Supreme Court. The Unton is decidedly of opinion that Know Nothingism has gone to seed; saying of its present status : “ The best evidence of the disgraceful folly of the know-nothing creed is to be found in the almost universal repudiation of that creed by the know nothings themselves. Itssecresy is cast out asan unclean thing. Its oaths have become so odious that the easiest way to insult « member of its order is to ask him if he hastakenthem. Lis religious intolerance, no matter how practised, is most furiously denied; and even that fondness for American interests and ‘ Ameri i i has dwindled nto a votes and the counsels of all, native or foreign- born, who are willing to unite with them. Such is one view of know-nothing policy—such the experience of the last cgkien months presented in the different State councils, North and South " _-- eo __ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP. The Nicaraguan Embroglio.—We have re- frained as far as possible from discussing the Present phaze of the Niearaguan government affair up to this moment, because indisposed to make any statement whatever concerning it, except upon information on the correctness of which we could rely implicitly. In the meanwhile we diligently prosecuted the in- Vestigation necessary to enable us eventually to shed light upon this interesting subject, and are already fairly overloaded with facts concerning it going to show the foresight, wis- dom and propriety of the course of the Gov- ernment of the United States in steadily re- fusing to bold intercourse with the Rivas- Walker's authorities as the lawful government of Nicaragua. The misunderstanding between the Transit Company and Walker has already brought to light many things not only tending to vindicate their reputation and that of their counsel, Mr. White, (who, we observe, is be- ing vehementiy cbarged by Walker's news Paper with treason and hostility towards his government,) from the imputation under which they not long since rested, of vo'e untary complicity with the violent change of the Nicaraguan government, by which that fell into the hands of parties no more entitled to wield it, than to wield the government of Eng- land or Austria; and, at the same time, to stamp even more indelibly upon Walker, his actsand his sims, the character of unmiti- gated piracy, making it even more than here- tofore the duty of this Government to see at all hazards that he receives no more aid and comfort from the United States, either east or west of the isthmus Our researches satisfy us— First. That he wasaided with means to pre- eipitate himself and his eriginal followers upon Nicaragua, by parties in. New York and California, whose sim was to have bim seize the government there, only in order that he might repay their advances by seizing, on some flimsy pretext, the property and fran- ehises of the Transit Company and transfer them to themselvyes—stockholders in the line holding confidential relations to it, Second. That having thus placed himself in power there, the advances of the same par- ties to him have amounted to an aggregate of near $240,000, including the box of specie on which Le seized in transit over the isth- mus; the same trip of the line’s boats bring- ing to New York a check for $20,000 to in- demnify the company for its necessary advance to make good the money thus taken violently from out of the hands of its agents. Third. That the plea that the charter of the Transit Company was revoked, only be- eause of failure to appoint umpires and settle the outstanding accounts with the Nicaraguan government, was the sheerest and baldest pretence imaginable. Thus, when those really interested in the future pros- Perity of the company, rather than in profits growing out cf their personal connection with its business, (and fn the scheme of inducioy Walker, at s convenient moment, to seize on and transfer to them its property on the isthmus,) ascertained that the company was being compromised with the Government | of the United States through the illegal aid and comfort the latter were giving to Walker by misusing the trusts reposed in them, they at once voted a new order of things in the affairs of the company; again placing them ‘in the hands of Captain @. Vanderbilt, and redoubling their efforts to prevent fillibusters from going on their boats to Nicaragua; rc- quiring strict compliance with the temporary government of Nicaragua’s pledge that they would send out from the United States on their ships, no men other than agriculturists and mechanics, unarmed, and carrying with them unmistakeable proof of the peacefulness of their mission. Fourth. That discovering that those most deeply interested in the future of the Transit Company's affairs had thus summarily put a stop to what was vitally essential to even the temporary continuance of his power in Nica- ragua, Walker made haste to comply with his contract to deliver over to those who had set him up there, the effects of the company on the Isthmus, under the idea that they will be permitted by this Government, under the pretence of keeping the route open to the commerce of the United States, &o , toconvey to him from this country unlimited supplies of human food for the fevers of the Isthmus, for the bullets of his provost marzhal’s guard and for the knives of the natives of Central America, who are now so fast gathering to overwhelm him. Fifth. That of the twelve hundred Amori- cans he had with him lately, perhaps one thousand were sent out with the view of using as many of them as may survive until an an- ticipated convenient period, in a raid on some neighboring country ; the money to send arms and provision them having come from parties interested in such an expedition, who have em- ployed Walker to drill and otherwise prepare the recruits so furnished to him ; using them tosustain himself in Nicaragua until, a3 he hoped, he eould have induced a sufficient real emigration from the United States to Nicara- gua, to enable him to hold his present position there, and until the recruits in question might be needed for the ultimate purpose for which they were surreptitiously shipped from the United States; three fourths of them having sailed from the Pacific side—where with the complicity of parties holding ‘confidential re- lations to the Transit Company, and the well known comparative weakness of the United States Government authority in such cases, together, made it the easiest thing imaginable that such a scheme should for the time being succeed over the opposition both of the Goy- ernment here and the direction of the Transit Company in New York. «To recount the mur- ders perpetrated under Walker's orders of late, upon the misguided Americans who in flocking to his standard have rushed into the meshes of a despotism as bloody and as un- sparing of all who dare show a sign of a dis- position either to decline entering its service when once in its toils, or to quit Nicaragua alive after having once fairly entered its ser- vice, would eccupy more space that we can to-day devote to the subject. However, the American public is already astounded with the revolting monstrosities that have distinguished Walker’s brief rule in Nicaragua. For, in spite of his cunningly devised schemes to the contrary, all now know that his cateer so far has closely emulated that of Timour the Tartar; and that he has sacrificed hia own starved followers to his unholy ambition and thirst fur blood, eyen more unsparingly than the feeble natives with who he has had to contend. Sixth. We think, judging from the past policy of the Government of the United States, with reference to Walker and his Central American and Cuban projects, that any par- ties who may attempt to run vestels to aid him, from any American port. under any pre- tence whatever, will find an instant embargo laid upon their enterprise, which will be ri- gidly enforeed until it is apparent, beyond question, that any further necessity for thus vindicating the integrity of our national honor, and saving thoughtless Americans from the consequence to themselves of venturing on the Nicaraguan isthmus, ejther as passen- gers, fillibusters or emigrants to that country, hassurely passed away. Mr. Buchanan.—The many friends of this distinguished statesman will doubtless be glad to learn that he may be looked for to arrive in the United States some time in the month of April. According to a letter from him, re- ceived by the last steamer, as soon as possible after the arrival of his successor, it was his intention to pay Paris a short visit, and re- turning to Havre, to embark from that point for home. An Army Officer Resigned.—We hear, to- day, on the Avenue, with great regret, indeed of the resignation of Brevet Lieut. Col. W’ @. Freeman, senior major in the Adjutant Gen. eral’s Department, U. 8. A., to take effeot March 3ist, inst. This distinguished officer, though yet hardly a middle-aged man, has been in the army twenty-two years, according to the register ot the service. No other is more beloved by his compeers; nor have the services of any other of his rank been of more value to his country. Transferred and Promoted —We hear that Mr. Jno. D. Colmesnil, of Kentucky, a clerk in the office of the treasury of the United States, has been appointed to be the disburs- ing clerk of the Treasury Department, (com- pensation $200 additional per annum,) vice Mr. Jno. V. Dobbin, of North Carolina, ap- pointed to a pursership in the navy. Appointed —Mr. Wm.

According to the testimony recently put in in this case, the lady has complotely turned the tables on her lord; showing conclusively that he, not she, isthe black sheep It seems that his witnesses, who swear to having seem her in and around houses of ill-famo, aro per+ sons wholly destitute of character The man who swears that he frequently met her in such places turns out to be a noted perjurer— a convenient swearer on such trials—having been four times indicted for perjury, The Rev. Doctor's female witnesses are all of the Boriaboola Gha order, and are shown to have, by their impudent conduct in the Doctor's house, greatly and unjustifiably annoyed the lady. Her witnesses, who, in point of char- acter, turn out to be as respectable persons, male and female, as New York contains, prove that the Doctor married her for her money, after eighteen months’ assiduous courtship; that immediately afterwards, on finding that she would not give up her property to him, and did not Have more than sufficient to give her an income of $1,200 per annum, he began to treat her unkindly, ending in positive bru- tality towards her; that she left him, and subsequently entered into articles of separa- tion from him ; that when away from him she resided with excellent people, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of the families of the leading Episcopal clergymen of the city, she being a consistent and worthy communi- cant of that Church, whose walk in life was en* tirely correct. The whole case exhibits, in the testimony, ono cf deep and damnable con- spiracy to ruin the character of an inoffensive and worthy woman, such as would furnish a glorious theme for the pen of Dickens. The Rev. Dr. Cox, of Zion’s church, has certainly done for himself, through all time and etern- ity, by bringing his domestic affairs before the public in this suit against his wife fora divorce PERSONAL. +++» The ladies of Richmond, Va., realised $858 from Mr. Everett’s lecture. sess Van Amburg will soon return from England, with a fine equestrian company, and some trained animals. ++++Capt.

In her recent eryis- ing, &c , she has been between Sable Island (which was thoroughly examined for recent wrecks) and the latitude 34, along the edge of the gulf; and has not seen any vestage of the Pacific or any other wreck. The Arctic has been under canvass most of the time, her poreier being almost useless in the very jeavy weather which she has experienced. Capt. Hartatein intends to cruise until after the usual time of the line or equinoxial gale. She has been short of water, and on an allow- ance of it for some days, but has since made a sufficiency by steam and other ways. All well on board. The Arctic would not have’ put into were it not for the purpose of putting Van Rensse’a>r Hall, the boatswain, on shore, as his health was delicate and he feared a serious illness would ensue were he to remain on board.
