The Intelligencer contains a full and very interesting account of all that has been done ‘0 far on both sides in the matter of the war between Walker and Costa Rica. The Union briefly reviews the able speech delivered in the Serate yesterday by Mr. Col- lamer in reply to Mr. Douglas, on the Kansas question; and argues to prove that Mr. Fill- more’s ‘‘ availability’ is already proved to be at & very considerable discount, indeed. We find in the Unzen the following note from the Hon. William A. Richardson, of Illinois : “To the Editor of the Union: The press of the Know oot party are persisting in saying that I refused to vote for Gov Aiken on the final vote for Speaker of the House of Representatives of the present Congress. ask you to publish the remarks, which I en- close, made by me in the House of Represen- tatives. The fact that I had paired off with Mr. Emrie, of Ohio, a friend and supporter of Mr. Banks, has been twice stated by me in the House of Representatives. I ask the favor of the Democratic papers throughout the country to publish this card and the re- marks, to the end that every one may be sat- i the facts are in the premises, err W A. RIcHARDSON. Washington, April 3, 1856. _—_— OS oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSéIP Our Talented Neighbor —Our talented, truthfal, and ingenuous neighbor copies a portion of the replication of the Washington correspondent of the New York Times to the first rate notice’’ of him he compelled us to publich on Friday last, and, we are delighted to see, evinces a thorough change in his sen- timents upon the proper way of conducting a paper in the Federal city. We take great pleasure in informing him that whenever it becomes necessary for us egain to take in hand the author of the letter from which he quotes, we shall leave as little of him remaining as there exists of our talented, truthful and ia- genuous neighbor himself, under our consid- siderate attentions for the past year anda half. Our amiable neighbor knows, from sad experience, that we never make such pledges idly. With our experience of the result in the public estimation of the publication of similar allegations against us by an individual in this city, as manifested in our business and other relations, as a matter of course we await the occurrence of a necessity for any notice whatever of what our so highly valued neigh- bor copied yesterday from the Times. In the mean while, however, we beg our neighbor's attention to the little matter involved in the following article which we re-publish from the Star of the 19th of February last, wherein he will find ample matter to be replied to and commented upon in the vein of his leader of yesterday. Query—Who, reader, would give ten cents, hard copper, for the influence of our talented neighbor, and all concerned with him, in se- curing the election of a Democratic nominee for House printer, which, as will be perceived, he modestly offered for the very low price of $10,000 : “ Dipy’?t eer a sincte Sop.—Why don’t somebody connected with the House throw to our talented, truthful, and ingenuous neigh- bor abone. We beseech some one for the love of mercy, todo so; for its “sufferings ts intolerable ’’ over the result of the contest for a House printer. Those who manage it— who were daft before—are now rabid. As ruan- mad, as ever canines were in August. They are getting up all conceivable hearsay atories, attributing to Mr. Wendell partnerships with Tom, Dick, and Harry, in his printing con- tract with the House. Mr. W. isnow in New York, and, of course, cannot in person contra dict the rourbacks told in its wailings over the fact that it didn’t manage to get a single tug at ‘nary teat. “ At his request, and giving him as our au- thority for so doing, some days ago we contra- dicted the Organ’s allegation that he has partners or a partner in the House printing; which is positively false. He also authorized us to say, if we thought the game worth the candle, that in the course of the contest he was offered the Organ newspaper, the mate- rial, business, stock in trade, and the influ- ence of those concerned init in obtaining for him the House printing for twenty thousand dollars; which bargain he respectfully de- clined. having no use whatever forthe Organ newspaper, and no confidence whatever inthe notion that those concerned in it were able to influence a single member’s vote for a printer To show the party making this proposition to him hie estimate of the value of the influence, (which was proposed to he set down as being worth $10,000) he offered to give to the pro- prietors of the Organ $1,000 ¢azh for every vote they or either of them would receive for House printer, without any equivalent what- ever He did that thing, knowing well that no member of the House would touch our tal- ented, truthful, and ingenuous neightor with a forty-foot pole in the matter of electing « printer. “ We relate this affair, as authorized by Mr. Wendell, that the public may comprehend why it is that our talented, truthful, and in- genuous neighbor is jast now so busily en- aged in snapping (with absurd stories) atthe » naa its officers, the House printer, Kc., &c. It has gone mad over its personal disappoint- ment—that’s all ’’ The War in Central America —Some time since, we incidentally called public attention to the fact, that for most of the money, arms, and men, sect out from this country to recruit Walker's army, he waz indebted to parties in the United States deeply involved in the scheme of seizing Cuba By the last errival from Nicaragua we have information that the three bundred and fifty recruits from the United States who very recently joined Walk er, are under the immediate command of the Mr. Giogonria, so well known ag the real head and front of all Cuban fillibustering in this country. He is a Cuban who left his country early to participate in such*enterprises, and succeeded in getting off the island his large pecuniary interests there. New York has been the headquarters of his operations. The fact of his complicity with Walker's operations to the extent to which he has been mixed up with them, embraces proof Satisfactory to us that the eventual destination of the most of Walk- er’s forces is Cuba itself, three fourths of the money and men sent out to Walker being fur- nished by the Cuban heads of the last raid that was prepared to be made on Cuba from this country. Keeping their Courage up.—Those in Con- gress who ‘‘shriek for freedom” in Kansas have inaugurated two or three new ideas re- cently inthe maragement of party affairs. They meet in caucus mich more frequently than ever has been the custom heretofore with any party among the members; so frequently, indeed, as to give rise to the idea among the Wags around town, that whenever one of them thinks that his noce wants blowing, he calls the party to meet by gas light in the House ball, to determiae whether it can it can be safely and prudently “ blowed,”’ in the exist- ing condition of things. At their last pow wow (on Monday night last) an outsider being called on—the (so. called) General Pomeroy who has been preach- ing abolitionism-in-Kansas to the women and children of New England—delivered for their edification a speech, wherein he declared that a large majority of the people of Kansas are “for freedom,’’ and all that sort of thing. Mr. Pomeroy’s speech was of course a rehash of his recent abolition-Kansas lectures deliv- ered at the North. It is said to have made the members present almost wild with joy, causing them to shout over his declaration that the abolitionists in the Territory would forcibly resist the execution of i//ega/ authori- ty. We presume they write down the au- thority of the U. 8 Territorial officers illegal, in these fast days. Despite the bravado and senseless bragging which characterizes every thing said and done by the ‘‘Free Statecham- pions’’ of Kansas, the sensible public have already come to comprehend that these resis- tors will one and all imitate the example of the mock State Legislature, and mock State officers, whenever a Territorial Sheriff gets af- terthem. That is, they will run away. Central America.—It appears to be a pre- valent impression among those in this city connected with foreign embassies, that both the British and French squadrons now on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Central Ameri- ca will land men and munitions to aid Costa Rica against the raid upon her that Walker has undertaken according to the latest ac- counts from Grenada. Those governments regard him and his followers simply as buc- caneers, and have long held that they have cause of complaint against the United States authorities, because our laws and system are not such a3 will always surely suffice to en- able them (the United States Government) to to hold in check such of its citizens as are like Walkerand his men. They haveclaimed, and now claim the right to protect their subjects and their property anywhere and everywhere against the assauiis of parties not recognised by any civilized government as, themselves, representing a government; and to treatthem wherever they may find them, as they would open and avowed pirates of any nation upon the high seas—as parties wholly out of the pale of protection by the laws of nations. Bounty Land Warrants.—fhe number of warrants issued by the Pension Bureau for the month ending March 31, 1856, was 13,955, divided among the different denominations as follows, viz: For 160 acres 2,585 .. +++ 413,600 For 120 acres 7,435. 892,300 For 80 acres 3,914. 313.120 For 60 acres ° 1,260 « Total...esse++e 1,620,280 Each application upon its acknowledgment by the office receives a number, which regu- lates the time of its examination, &c. The average number of the applications now passed and being issued is about 175,000; that is, varying from No. 160,000 to No. 191,000. This variation is caused by frequent informality of claims ; errors of the claimant in signing his name and giving the name of the officer under whom he served, which gives rise to the delay in the issue of the lower numbers mentioned. The Cutter Dobbin Safe.—The Treasury Department have despatches from Captain Whitehead, in command of the revenue cut- ter Dobbin, for the safety of which apprehen- sions were recently entertained. She return- ed to her station, (Wilmington, N C.) on the 29th ult., having left it on the 17th of Jan- uary Jast upon her winter’s cruise for the re- lief of suffering vessels and crewa on the coast. The distance run by her in this cruise was 2,048 miles. She experienced very rough and disastrous weather. On the 13th of March a gale split her gib, and carried away her main_ topmast back stays, and she lost her starboard quarter-boat. The latter event took place on the 14th March. The heavy weather so tried the ship as that she must be at once over- hauled. Officers Ordered to the Steam Frigat, Susquehannah.—The following is a list of the officers ordered to the Susquehannah at Philadelphia, destined for the Mediterranean, viz: Captain—Joshua R, Sands. Lieuten- ants—J.N Brown, J C Howell, Paul Shir- ley, Reuben Harris, 8. L, Phelps, and J. R. Hamilton. Purser—J B. Rittenhouse. Sur- geon—Ninian Pinkney. Passed Assistant Sur- geon—G. H. Howell. Boatswain—T. G. Bell. Gunner—Jas. Hutchinson. Carpenter—Wm. M. Laighton. Sailmaker—J. G. Gallagher. Engineers—Chief—J. P. Whipple; First As- sistents—E Fithian and George W. Alexan™ der; Second Assistants—A. Henderson and E. Robie; Third Assistants—J. A. Grier, Ww. H. Cushman, and Glendy King. Straws, but Facts —The Know Nothing council, No. 27, in Chicago, Illin ois, has dis- solyed by an unanimous vote. The president, M. L. Duniap, as well as his colleague, Messrs. Foss, Foster, and Kishmond, (in the State Legislature.) voted for Mr. Trumbull for U. 8. Senator Their votes were neces- sary to his election, as the record shows Chicago has repudiated all of them in the municipal election recently occurring there, wherein the Democrats carried ihe city by some 500 majority, with anti-Republicanism and anti-Know Nothingism as their rallying cries. Confirmation.—We learn that the Senate has confirmed William E. Burns as Surveyor of the Customs at Jacksonville, N. C, vice Edward W. Ward removed. Kavy Officers Ordered —Purser Bleeker has been ordered to the receiving ship at Boston, and Purser Hambleton to the receiving ship at Norfolk A Navy Officer Resigned —Assistant Sur- geon Randolph Harrison has resigned. The Current Operetions of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 3d of April, there were of Treasury warsants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $5,090 59 For the Tre 14,445 68 For the Interior Departmen 5,315 33 ‘or Customs.......eccesceeccces 4,660 22 War warrants received and en- Wertderreecessssesceseseereses 10,000 09 a repay warrants received and ONEOTED seeeresereerery pee 127 54 From miscellaneous sources. 18,441 07 Ata Mass Meerine of the citizens of Ports mouth, Va., convened for an expression of public opinion upon the death of Gommodore McKeever, resolutions setting forth the noble traits in the character of the deecased and condoling with the surviving members of his family, were adopted The Common Council have also passed similar resolutions. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDING In the Senate, yesterday, the debate on Mr. Houston’s pending resolution, calling for the evidence, &c., in the recent court-martial upon Captain Ritchie, U.S. N., was continued by Messrs. Fish, Pearce, Case, and others. The question on {t being put; it was not agreed to—yeas 11, nays 23 The Kansas State-government bill, reported by Mr. Douglas from the Territories Commit- tee, was then taken up, and Mr. Collamer ad- dressed the Senate against it at length. In the House, the amendments of the Senate to the Pension appropriation bill were agreed to, and those of the Military Academy appro priation bill, except the one appropriating $10,000 fer additional stables at West Point, and another directing that a copy of all the documents published by order of Congress shall be sent to the West Point library, were di: to. Shortly afterwards they adjourned. Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Hamlin gave notice that he should move to reconsider the vote on the resolution, passed yesterday, for changing the site of the Washington Arsenal. Mr. Foot called up the bill of the last ses- sion for the relief of the Hon. George P. Waugh, on which he was addressing the Sen- ate when the Star went to press. In the House, a bill for the settlement of the claims of the widows and orphans of the officers of the revolutionary army was intro- duced and referred. Mr. Evana asked leave to introduce a bill for the construction of a Northern, Southern, and and Central Pacific Railroad and Tele- graph ; objected to, and leave not granted. r. Smith, of Va., introduced a resolution requesting the Secretary of the Interior to re- port to the House fully upon the cest of making the proposed bridge over the Potomac at Georgetown a railroad bridge ; and also upon the relative distance between the post offices in Alexandria and Washington, via the pro- josed Georgetown bridge and the present ee bridge; laid on the table. Various other bills and resolutions were in- troduced and disposed of. Shortly afterwards they went to the regular order of business, when the question again arose as to the proper reference of the bills re ported or received from tho Claims Court. Mr. Jones of Pa., argued at length in favor of their reference to the Claims Committee Syasaing ’eM.—Two or three weeks ago, a gang of negro thieves in Quaker Bottom, Ohio, nearly opposite Guyandotte, Va , while hold- ing a meeting to devise schemes for stealing the negroes of their neighbors on the other side of the river, were set on by a number of Virginians who had crossed over to give them a dressing; several persons whose negroes had been stolen by this particular gang cf thieves being among the assailants. They left their mark very plainly on the rascals, and notified them that whenever they could find out that they were again to be so engaged they would pay them another similar visit ae New Publications. Mr. W. D. C. Murdock, of Georgetown, sends us a pamphlet containing “ A Demon- stration of the Quadrature of the Circle,’’ which seems worthy of examination, but whether Mr. M. succeeds where so many have failed, we cannot say. The United States National Magazine and Naval Journal, for April, sent us by the pub- lisherz, Messrs. Griffith, Bates & Co., of New York, seems, as far as we can judge, to be a valuable number, containing nine engravings and numerous carefully prepared articles. From J. Smith Homans, the editor and pub- lisher of ‘‘ The Banker’s Magazine,” we have received the April number of that periodical, which is too favorably and widely known to need any commendation at our hands. The present number, in addition to its regular contents, has engravings, plans, etc., of banks and banking houses for city and country. That Blessed Baby. The late foreign papers are overflowing with descriptions of the advent of Eugenia’s boy, and vie with each other in particularity of description of its personal appearance and all that has been done in its behalf by those in- terested in its giory aa & successful baby. The correspondent of the London Daily News says the Imperial infant is really as fine and robust a boy as ever was seen e is de- scribed as rosy, plump, well made, fully de- veloped, and with a surprising abundanee of chestzut-colored hair, resembling his father’s. He is called Napoleon and Louis, atter his father; Eugene, from his mother Eugenie; Jean, after the Pope, whe is to he his god: father, and Joseph in compliment to his in- tended godmother, the Queen of Sweden, whose name is Josephine. I am assured positively (says a correspon- dent) that the Empress did not take shioro- form, and I jearp 6p the same authority that the forceps were used. About half-past four on Saturday afternoon, during a remission of the psins of labor, the Empress got up and walked about her apart- ment, leaning on the Emperor’s arm. She was distinctly seen by many people from the gar- dens of the Tuilleries. On Sunday nothing was talked of in Paris but the important event which had occurred, and during the day crowds were assembled in the gardenof the Tuilleries and in the vicinity of the palace, anxious to learn any particulars of the auspiciousevent. ‘the fact of the birth having taken plnce on Paim Sunday was re- marked on, and considered by the lower clas- ses as particularly fortunate. All the police agents on duty near the palace were over and over again appealed to for information, and if any porson in the Imperial livery chanced to #ppear, ho was sure to be addressed with nu merous inquiries Tux Steamsoat Disaster on tHe DeLa- ware. —The boiler of the ill-fated steamboat New Jergey was raised on Thursday, when one of the furnace doors was found open. The United States boiler Inspector examined the interior and found it to be very defective. In several places where it had been mended, it was actually burnt through. Numerousleaks were found—two sufficient when acting upon the furnace to fill the flues with steam, and force the flames out in front The Inspector says it is a matter of astonishment that the boiler could have stood so long without acci- dept. The piece in many places were reduc- ed to one-third of their thickness, and the boiler was totally unfit for service. Although the above was evidently the cause of the de- struction of the boat, they also found the plates and the brickwork under the boiler were open, through which fire could be readi- ly communicated to the woodwork at the bot- tom of the boat. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE GEORGETOWN, April 4, 1855. The exhibition of the West Georgetown Sabbath School came off on last night. The secretary submitted the pe oe of the school, which shows it to be in the most flourishing condition This school was organized on the 13th of August, 1854, in a house near the church, where, with but a handful of teachers and children, it commenced operations. It has since succeeded, through the labors and generosity of the public, in erecting a ve' neat little church, which js negrly completed. From the Secretary’s report we extract the following items : Male teacher? in the school, 15 ; female teachers, 13 ; total, 28 ; male schol- ars, 60; female scholars, 56; total 116; num- ber of yolumes jn the library, 340 The chil- dren og itted themselves ins als highly creditable to their teacher and school.

ALExanpnia, Apri! 5, 1856. The Fair of the Star Fire Company was closed on Thursday evening, the receipts real- ized thongh far below the merits of the Com- pany, are yet sufficient to give them consid- erable aid in the orection of their proposed engine house. At the elose of the fair a num- ber of fratlomen connected with the company gave a ball, and whiled the night away in met- riment. On Wednesday night about ten o’clock, some miscreant fired the unoccupied brick residence on Royal street near Duke, belong- ing to the estate of Miss C. E. Smith, and despite the floods of Cameron water poured into the building by our firemen, the interior was ruined and the roof seriously injured. The flames from the same building rising again about three o’clock in the morning, the watch sounded the alarm, some few of our citizens gathered, and a detachment of the Hydraulion with their hose carriage, the flames were quelled by water from a hydrant at hand.
