EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY..........-..... April 2, 1866. U7” Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’elock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer says of the prospect of pesee in Europe - “* All the late accounts bo ome vag Paris speak fidently of an early ee. The Paris ccyeepellieal of the New York Post, in a note to a private letter dated the lith ultimo, says : *«« You may state to your readers that com- “mittees have been appointed by the Peace * Congress to whom are to be referred all “questions of mere detail, and that the prin- ‘cipal treaty will be signed next Saturday or * Tuesday at furthest.” “A script to another private letter re- ceived at New York, di two days later, and coming from an American gentleman resi- dent at Paris, says: “** T have just received from what is thought ‘ good authority that peace will be proclaimed ‘within three days. You have it as I got it.’ “Qurown London co ence also in- spires the bope that the deliberations of the ‘eace Conference will terminate auspi- ciously.”’” Ccmmert’ng upon yesterday’s portion of the present ‘‘ heated term’’ in the Senate of the United States over the action of the late Na- val Retiring Board, the same paper says, with Pickwickian gravity : “But the debate has, for the most part, taken a wide range, and from the Ppeculier nature of the inquiry, and of the material upon which investigation must necessarily concentrate, if discursive discussion be in- dulged, considerable personal feeling must mingle with the deductions of reason. So it is tc be feared, in the progress of a somewhat vague debate on topics so delicate, that more acrimony may be engendered—to be sure, of @ temporary character—than is usually pro- duced even by discussions upon the strongest party topics. We are certainly glad that no such regretable incident has yet occurred.” Now, the truth is, there was a “ high time” there, yesterday, between Messrs. Bell and Clayton. The latter, in his defence of Captain Dupont, toek occasion to compare the allega- tions made by Lieut. Maury in his suit against the company owning the stage by the upsct- ting of which he was made a cripple for life, and these of his application for a pension, with the allegations embraced in his memorial to the Senate against the action of the Naval Retiring Board in his case. Commenting, with freedom, upon what he conceived to be their very striking disorepancies, he said things highly offensive to Mr. Bell, the senatorial friend of Lieutenant M. The latter retorted with “warmth,” so vehement, as to excite both himself and Mr. Clayton, until many of the large audience present would have bet even on broken heads and bloody noses ere their cession of the day came to a close. The Union quotes the Pennsylvanian’s late ten-column article, wherein it is held that Mr Buchanan is in cffect uncommitted upon the propriety of repealing the Missouri com- promise and enacting the Nebraska bill, and argues that those who advocate his nomina- tion cn such grounds are doing him irrepara- ble injury The editor scouts the idea that they can be speaking by his authority in as- suming any such position forhim. The Union and Pexnsylvanian affair is what is termed “a very pretty quarrel, as it stands,’’ and its Progress is viewed by the Democratic, and indeed all other public men in Washington, with intense interest, as being likely greatly to effect the solution of the problem—Who is is to be the nominee of the Cincinnati .Con- vention ? Book Notices. We have received from Mr. Joe Shillington “Blackwood’s Magazine’? for March and “‘Putnam’s Monthly” for April. Blackwood presents a rich array of good things, compris- ing articles headed ‘ Liddell’s History of Rome,"’ ‘‘ Monteil,”’ ‘‘ Biography Gone Mad,” “The Greek Church,’’ * Nicaragua and the Fillibusters,’’ “‘ The Scottish Fisheries,’ “ Sid- ney Smitb,’’ ‘‘ Peerages for Life,’’ and “ The Wensleydale Creation.” The articles in Put- nam are able, as usual, but rabidly political. From Littel & Co, Boston. we have the April number of that valuable and interest- ing publication, “‘ The Panorama of Life and Literature.”’ : We have also from Mr. Joe Shillington “Fravk Leslie's Gazette of Fashions” for April. From the extraordinary circulation this publication has run up to we presume the ladies consider it an indispensab!e Wao ane Tarr ?—The Pitts’ urg Dispatch says that on Tuesday evening a lady reached that city from Washington, D. C , in pureuit of her husband, who had eloped with another woman. The parties stopped at a tavern down town, and the lady learning the fact preceeded thither, and told the landlord the story of her tribulation and her husband’s rascality. The guilty pair, learning by some means of her presence in the, tavern contrived toleave the house without her knowledge, and started for Allegheny with a view of get- ting off in the next train. Accompanied by the landiord she pursued them to the station, but bere they gave her the slip again, and though every exertion was made by officer Scott and others to effect their arrest, the gay Lothario and his paramour escaped. It is eupposed that they went on board some of the steamers lying at the wharf and are now on their way down the river. Further than that the man acted as an interpreter in Washington City, and occupied a respectable position in society there, nothing could be heard cf them. As Speaker Banks says we should advise the wife to “let ‘em slide!” Retvrs oy raz Arctic.—We mentioned yesterday, that the Propeller Arctic, Comman- der Hartstein, had arrived at New York city. She had been out forty seven days ig search of vessels in distress, and encountered a suc- cession of very heavy gales The Arctic has not seen nor heard of any vessels requiring assistance. Onthe 29th March, lat. 39.30, Jon. 71.40, spoke the schooner Fred. Dyer, of Belfast, bound to Boston and leaking rome, but declined assistance. It was the intention of Commander Hartstein to have one as far east as the ise had been met with; but plac- ing confidenco in the correctness of the report received at Halifax, that the Pacific bad put back into the river Shannon, he concluded, after examining Sable Island and ite reefs, for recent wrecks, that it would be better (as he bas done) to work to the westward, along the edge of the Gulf, keeping as much as possible in the track where vessels that might be disabled would most probably be found ; but finding no disabled vessels, he returned to pert {> Brown le his boarding house last week ; because he saw’ his landlady rinsing her Wil- liam Henry's pocket-h couchief tp the pud, WASHINGION NEWS AND GOSSIT. A Powerful Appea!.—After returning from the late Virginia State Democratic Conven- tion, we took occasion to mention our impres- sion that the vote of the Old Dominion will be given at Cincinnati for the renomination of President Pierce. All the information we have since received from alt quarters of the State confirms this opinion. We may add truthfully, that the cireumstances tending to seoure the vote of Virginia for the renomina- tion of President Pierce, are acting no less powerfully throughout the whole South. We find them 0 concisely, eloquently and forei bly set forth in an anonymous phampblet. bearing the following title— ‘The next Presi- dency. An appeal to the Democracy of Ver- ginis. 1856,”—as that we extract them there- from by way of presenting them to the Stay’s readers far more satisfactorily than through elaboration by our own pen: . “If President Pierce is not available, then there is no available candidate in the ranks of the Democracy. Is there a disposition to pro- scribe him because of the prominent part he has piayed in the fight with the Abolitionists? Are the Democracy to dodge issues? Are we to make concession to the prejudices of our foe? Is it proposed to win victory by fraud? If not, then let thas Democracy adopt the most manly, the most straightforward, and the most chivalric policy. Let us make the distinct is- sue before the country. Let us proclaim our principles without equivocation end with a sbout of defiance. And for leader let us se- lect no timid time-server, no skulking coward; but let us take the veteran of the war, all covered as he is with glorious wounds, and bid him conduct us to defeat or to an honorable triumph. With Franklin Pierce for candi- date, the Democracy can conduct the canvass on no other but the highest grounds. His | epee are not susceptible of equivocation. © stands before the country, not like acloudy unreality which anybody may liken to what- soever figures may please his ame but in distinct proportion and bold relief. He is the same East, West, North and South. His posi- tion in regard to every measure of public policy is incontrovertibly certain, and his nomination will perfect the consistency and individuality of the Democratic arty. ‘“‘On the head of Franklin Pierce fell the wrath which the repeal of the Missouri re- striction provoked throughout the North. He was reviled and persecuted as no public man was ever before reviled and persecuted in this country. Hoe was assailed not only by the violence of his enemies, but by that more cut- ting pain—the desertion of friends, Yet did he not shrink. He never swerved from his support of the South, nor abated a jot or tittle of heart in cur service. And is this the man whom the South will betray for some easy person who has been reposing in inglorious neutrality while Franklin Pierce was enduring the sweat and agony of the strife!”’ The Boundary Survey —Probably no sim- ilar work was ever accomplished under the authority of any government more complete, satisfactory, and useful, than that of the Uni- ted States survey to fix the boundary with Mexico under the treaty, as the directions of the Interior Department have been carried out by Col. Emory We spent an heur, a day oz two since, in the office of the work in this city, where we were more gratified than we can express. The Commissioner took due care to cause information concerning every element of the country acquired by the Guadulupe treaty, and the subsequent one (the Mesilla Valley treaty,) to be carefully noted and pre- served. In addition to its geographical and topographical points of interest, its natural history, geology, entomology, &c , &c , have been carefully studied. The maps and draw- ings which are by long odds the most beauti fal ever executed for this Government in connection with a similar enterprise, embrace a number of novel features, and in themselves present daguerreotypes of the region exam- amined so thoroughly, which convey to the mind, through the eye, on the instant, an amount of practical knowledge concerning it (the region of country) hardly attainable from books alone under any circumstances. We are glad to perceive that many of the most beautiful engravings of topography, animal life, views, &c., so far executed fur the work, are the handicraft of artiets recident inthe District of Columbia, who can at this moment vie even with Paris in the taste, faultless ac- curacy, and style of finish of their professional labors. We advise all literateurs and ecientific men who visit Washington to take the Boundary Survey Office in the circle of their calla at public places in this city, where they will en- joy an hour as hardly to be enjoyed elsewhere in this country. The Revenue Cutter Washington.—We make the following very interesting extract from the account which the commander of this vessel gives of the Washington’s last cruise for the relief of suffering vessels and ¢rews on the coast, as follows : “On the 19th, having received on hoard everything necessary for the cruise, [ put to sea. One hundred and thirty-eight vessels bave been boarded and spoken. Fourteen vessels have been assisted out of the ice. We assisted the United States marshal in arrest- ing a prisoner from the ship Albert Gallatin, from Liverpool. In lat. 40° 12' N., long 73° 17’ W., supplied the bark Reindeer, froin Rio for New York, with provisions. Lat. 39° 10’ N., long. 73° 35’ W., supplied schooner Anna Gardner, from Neuvitas four New York, with provisions, water and lamp oil. On the 25th, blowing a gale from northwest, with snow squalls, discovered the schooner Alert, from Boston for Philadelphia, off Delaware Break- water, in distress with loss of both anchors, end dispatched an officer and boat's crew, with anchor and hawser, to her assistance, who succeeded in getting her into the harbor and anchoring her in safety. “ Distance sailed during -~ cruise 2,478 * miles. * * “ Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ‘*Joun Faunce, Captain. “Hon.

In the course of his remarks, Mr C. reviewed the memorial of Lieutenant Maury to the Senate with great severity. Mr Beit replied at length. and with great warmth, to the speech of Mr. Clayton, and articularly in defence of Lieutenant Maury. ve he had concluded, they adjourned. Ia the House, they agreed to the pending amendmentto the Oregonand Washington Ter- ritories protection bill, appropriating $120,000 for the purchase of gunpowder on the Pacific coast ; and then the bill was passed—yeas 110, nays Mr Campbell, of Ohio, moved to close the meral debate on tho President’s Annual essage in two hours; (giving notice at the same timo that next week he would call up the Kansas affairs message, on which tho Kan- sas question might be debated at length) mo- tion not agreed to. The House then went into Committee (Mr. Mace in the chair,) and resuming the consid- eration of the Annual Message, Mr. Warner addressed the committee at length on the slavery question, insisting upen the right of the South to enjoy the territory of the United States in common with the other States of the Union, and the right of the citi- zens of the South to remove into it with their slave property. The institution of slavery was protected by law, and was recognised by the universal law of nations, and none had a right to interfere with it. He eaid that for maintaining the great principles embraced in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and for vindicating the integrity of the Constitution, the Ptesi- dent of the United States had been denounced by his opponents as a ‘‘doughface;’’ but it was much better for him to be called a dough- face than to have been denounced as guilty of perjury in failing to vege on his duty under that Constitution which he had sworn to sup- port and eR 7 Mr. Allison folfowed in opposition to the ex- tension of slavery. Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, obtained the floor, when the committee rose, and the House ad- journed. Preceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Crittenden pre- sented a memorial from J. M. Stanley, the artist, asking Congress to purchase his gallory of Indian portraits; referred to Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Mason reported from the Foreign Af- fairs Committee, a joint resolution authorizing Dr. Kane and his associate officers on the Arc tic exploring expedition, to accept gifts or tes- timonials from the government of Britain, which was debated by Messrs. Crittenden, Bayard, Toucey, Butler, and Biggs against it, re Messrs. Mason and Seward for it, ere we went to press. In the House, they went into Committee of the Whole on the state of tho Union (Mr Mace in the chair.) Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved to lay aside the subject of the President’s message, tempo- rarily, and proceed to the consideration the annual pension appropriation bill, and one or two other public appropriatioa bills, which had been returned amended from the Senate Mr. Smith of Tenn , who was entitled to the floor, having consented to this arrange- ment, the said motion was agroed to The Senate’s amendments to the pension appropriation bill were then considered and dispoaed of. he Senate's amendments to tho West Point Academy appropriation bill were next taken up, considered and disposed of, after debate between Messrs, Letcher, Howard and Valk ; the discussion being upon the item to cover the erection of suitable stables there. A Sgnsisce Freak or Fasnrox —Late hours have 80 long been the besetting sin of all bails, parties, &c, in tashionable life, that it is quite refreshing tafind an effort made to effect » change. A practice has just been introduced in New York which is decidedly en effort at reform. It is, to say specifically upon the card of invitatation that the pleasure of the guest’s company is desired from seven to eleven o'clock, p.m, Atten minutesafter eleven tho music plays good night, and the hostess takes her place to oye parting compliments to her visiters. ‘he fashionable hours have been from ten to two, and the reform simply takes three hours from the latter part of the entertainment and places them in the fore-part. Who will introduce this very sensible reform in Washington? At present it ie hardly eti- quette to leave a bali or party before three or four o'clock in the morning, and in consc- quenee those who have any regard for their health are obliged to stay away altogether. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Geor@etown, April 2, 1855. The flag of the Vigilant Fire Company has been at half-maat since yesterday morning as @ token of respect to the memory of Dr. 0 M. Linthicum, who was for many years an active and efficient member of the company. The Doctor was also for a long time an active and leading member iu our City Councils. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of an unusually large circle of friends, to whom he had greatly endeared himself by his liberal, frank, and manly deportment. His death has caused a vacancy in our community which cannot be easily filled. The scholars of the West Georgetown Sab- bath school have determined to entertain their friends on to-morrow (Thursday) even- ing with one of their very interesting exhibi- tions. We would advise the readers of the Star, who may wish to enjoy & perfect treat, to go, see, and hear the children. The exhi- bition will be held in the lecture room of the church. . As yet no boat bas reached our cily from any point beyond Harper’s Ferry.

It is the progeny of a female dog belonging to Mr. Um- retrout. We would advise those in the District of Columbia who are in the retail grocery trade to give our new Water street firm, lesers.

In7erestinG From Mexico —Advices from Vera Cruz to the 23d ult. announce that an engagement had taken place between the government troops and the insurgent forces under Harory Tamariz, at Puebla, in which the latter suffered much loss in killed and wounded. with the destruction of a great part of their armament and munitions, while the former gained possession of part of the city, Haro being left shut up with one half of the forces he had previously raised there The surrender of Tameriz kas been demanded, and he has probably, ere this succumbed, as the supply of drinking water in his section of the city had beon cut off.
