EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATUR DAY........--++++++000+-May 3, 1856. 107 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’elock, m., otherwise they may not appear natil the next day. _ THE WEEKLY STAB, To-day, embraces a vast quantity of cur- rent news of interest. In addition to its per- fect compendium of Washington News and Gossip for the past week, it has all the late exciting intelligence from Nicaragua, Oregon, and Europe, together with important advices from California and other quarters ; with edi- torials, poetry, tales, local news, and personal intelligence—making altogether just such a paper az is sure to be a welcome visitor at every fireside. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer republishes the celebrated declaration of the Union party members of Congress in 1851, pledging themselves to re- gard the settlement of the slavery question as involved in the enactment of the Compromise measures of 1850 aa final and abiding, and adds: “« How unfortunate has it been for the pub- lie tranquillity that its wise determination and counsel were in an evil hour departed from !”” The Union publishes a letter from the Ses- retary of the Navy to the chairman of the Senate’s Naval Affairs Committee, from which we gather that the Attorney General, on being consulted as to the legality of the manner in which the late Naval Retiring Board was or- ganized and proceeded, sanctioned all the preparations under which it began its labors. ——__—_- <2 -_____ PERSONAL. +++ Gen.

A large amount of funds was found upon his person, which led to the discovery that he was possessed of por means, show- ing that the charge was evidently a mistake. ++-. Am the arrivals from California is Mr. Wm _ V. Wells, a gentleman who has been connected with the Alta Californian, during the past year, and the products of whose pen have been an interesting feature in its col- umns. Mr. Wells goes to New York for the =e of attending to the publication of a work which he has written upon Honduras. Mr. Wells has resided in California for some years, and since 1851 has been editorially con- nected with the San Francisco press. ++++Mr. Pierre Soule has consented to ad- dress the citizens of New Orleans on the Cer- tral American question In the note giving his consent he refers iu the following terms to Walker: “Though entirely unconnected with the schemes and fortune of the gallant adven- turer — 80 monty srasmapr imps rights of an oppressed people against the tyranny of a handful of petty despots who hold thes in ab ject and almost beastly subjection, I have watched his course with intense solicitude, and perhaps sympathised deeply with his as- pirations.’ Ma. Everett axp tae Mount Vernon Esrats.—Mr. Everett, in a letter in which he accepts an invitation to deliver his Washing- ton Addrees, at Springfield, Mass., says: “I am gratified that you concur with mein the wish to —— the proceeds in aid of the fund for the purchase of Mount Versaon. The recent letters of the Pproprieter throw some doubt on his present willingness to sell the estate. It cannot, however, doubted, that it will vires become public property. In the meantime I do not understand that the efforts making to raise the requisite funds will be relaxed. The eums which have already been received by me have been safely and advantageously invested in trust, and t shall make the same disposition of what may here- after come into my hands, without the de- duction of a dollar for personal expenses. Should the attempt to paalae Mount Vernon eventually fail, the funds raised can be ap- propriated to some other patriotic purpose of — interest connected with the memory of ashington.”” New Mvsic.—Hilbus has with his ueual promptness laid upon our table two of his re- cent publications: ‘The Canary,” by the ac- complished Foertech, and “The Bee Gum,”’ (music by J. K. Search) as sung by that irre- sistibly comic genius, Harry Lebr.

It was notorious at the World’s Fair in London, that the Americans far outstriped all others in the useful inventions which they supplied. We beat the English in veasels, railroads, tele- graphs did manufactures by power. Weare beating them in the scientific arts of Chemis- try and Medicine, as we have long beat the restof mankind. A new and practical proof of this assertion is shown in the fact that the principle remedies of the allied armies of the East are furnished from the taboratory of our own countryman. Dr. J.C@ Ayer of Lowell, is filling orders for immense quanaities of his Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic Pills, for both the land and sea forces in Turkey His medicines have been tried and approved by those in power who found them tho most reliable which they could procure for the ex- egencies in which are to be employed —IV.

The true cause of the trouble was, undoubt- edly, the fact that the construction (comple- tion) of the railroad across the isthmus had completely cut off the income of nearly every native New Granadian who, for some years past, had been living upon the money extort- ed, in a thousand ways, from passengers to and from California. The amount (aggregate) of money assuredly spent among those people by travelers has been immense; affording to thou- sands of them the means of living in com- parative idleness and luxury. The comple- tion of the railroad and its appurtenances upon the Pacific shore, however, completely revolutionized the transit business there, and left the greasers without a dollar. They are ignorant, lawless, and vicious, and one such murderous outbreak on their part was to have been expected, more especially after what occurred not very long since at Erie, Penr- sylvania, where, fora similar cause, a railroad track was torn up, and property to the value of many thousands of dollars was destroyed with some lives, if our memory is correct. It is only to be regretted that the rioters on that oceasion were not punished as severely as the New Granadian Government will doubt- less punish the chief actors in the recent mur- ders and robberies. The failure to punish the Erie rioters, by the by, has already re. sulted in @ recurrence of railroad riots there, according to papers received a day or two since. An American naval force sufficient to put down any effort to repeat the late affair outside of the walls of Panama, will be at hand by the time the next steamer from New York can reach Aspinwall; we apprehend with orders todo so at all hazards, if neces- sary. However, our expectation is that the New Granadien Government has already caused @ scorce or so of the banditti to be hung; for it by no means stands on trifles when dealing with that class of its subjects. The maintenance of its transit route in safe- ty and regularly operating is a matter of prime importance to New Granada; afford- ing as that does the Government's chief source of revenue. Under these circumstances, we expect that the next news from that quarter will tell that a terrible and very convincing lesson has already been taught tothe greasers of Panama The Cause Why.—Among those most active in the work of lobbying to defeat the pending national aqueduct appropriation, is a contrac- tor now connected with the works. He has taken a contract at losing prices, and the au- perintendent holds him to his obligationg, as in duty bound to do. If the appropriation can be defeated, the individual hopes that his sureties will, of course, Be re!eased, the Goy- ernment having failed to comply with its ob- ligations. So he is moving heaven and earth to diseredit the present plan, and to create the impression that his company (in the moon) will build @ much better affair for much less money, &c.; in fact he aims to do anything that will result in defeating the appropriation All this has grown out of his over-eagernoss to obtain his original contract, which was let at ruinous rates, as good security was cflered for its fulfilment. We need hardly say that this contractor does not belong here; for our fellow citizens of the District of Columbia are not the men who take Government contracts at low prices. The Conference Committee —The Confer- ence Committee on the National Water Works appointed afew days since having failed -to agree, another was appointed by the Vice President and Speaker yesterday. It is under- stood that Mesers. Davis of Maryland, Thurs ton, and Seward of Georgia, could not be in- duced to abate anf of their original hostility to the Works. Messrs. Pringle, McMullin and Stanton were named as the new committee on the part of the House. Our fellow citizens can only hope that the Speaker in making his selections has not been guided by the spirit ot animosity to the Federal city that has been openly mani- fested by too many honorable membera of late. The Judge Irwin's Court —Those in Con gress who are moving against Judge Irwin, of the U.8. Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, are apparently in earnest, and will not rest until they effect enactment of a law repealing the statute Woder which his court exists. Some years ago, articles of im peachment against him were prepared, and introduced into Congress; but the matter was dropped, it being understood that he designed resigning. The particular cause of complaint alleged against him at this time is the charg, that he has kept his court open for six months without there being any necessity for so doing on his part, and at a heavy, and, of course, un- necessary expense to the national treasury. Naval Engineer Board. —The Board of Na- val Engineers to examine candidates (of that branch of the zervice) for promotion, has been ordered to meet in this city. The candidates for promotion, are required to Teport tothe Engineer-in-Chief, Mr. Martin, at his office in the Department, on the 19th inst. Candidates for admission are to be examined on the 2d of June, proxime. Persons wishing to become such candidates are required to file in the Department satisfactory testimony relative to their character and qualifications to perform thefduties of Third Assistant Engineers in the United States Navy, and they will be author- ized to go before the Board for examination. They must also state their age. The Speech.—The speech delivered yester- day by Senator Benjamin, upon the Kansas question, has been the subject of more con- versation, among leading public men in Wash- ington, than any other delivered in either House this session. It was undoubtedly a Great intellectual effort, and went far towards confirming the previous general impression in Washington that Mr. Benjamin is the rising public man. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, the 2d of May, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stook $22,723 45 For the Treasur: 14,811 71 For the Interior 8.244 67 For Customs...+..seseseees 50,162 32 War warrants received and tered. .cecscccccevesees 22,700 57 On account of the Navy.. +» 14,507 42 Repayment on account of the AVY sevesevcseeesccccees 9,627 79 From miscellaneous sources. 1,387 20 Missouri State Convention —We have re- ceived this morning a letter from » prominent citizen of Missouri, dated at St. Louis, April 27th, in which he says: “The (State) Democratic Convention has endorsed the Administration in the highest terms ; and though it was considered best not to instruct the delegates to Cincinnati, yet it was generally understood that they will vote for the President as our first choice.” que ___ CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, Mr. Benjamin delivered a speech on the pending Kansas State bill, wherein he dis- cussed the subject at length, taking the ground that on the slavery question all com: ises were futile except those of the Constitution it- self. He thought that the great statesmen of 1820 had made an unfortunate error in at- temptingasettloment He reviewed the £a toss ions of Northern Senators, and in respondin; particularly to the declaration of Mr. Sewar that slavery was an outlaw by the laws of na- tions, he quoted the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States delivered by Chief Justice Marshall, to show the fallacy of this position. Mr. B. descanted freely upon the objects of Northern —— whose purposes he declared to be, first, to attain political ower in Congress, and then to carry out abo- ‘ition in its fullest extent. He concluded by defining his ee position, declaring that as — os a Stee differ- ence on the subject of slavery, the engross- ing question, between the Democratic party and the old Whig party, of which he had been adevoted member, and ag the issuein the coming Presidential election must be between the Democratic and the Republican parties, he would join the former in the impending struggle, and give it whatever aid his humble wers could afford. He considered the Know ‘pris, Label as Lape 4 destroyed or absorb- od the ig party of the North, and that its mystic ceremonies had been used only to give power and influence to the Abolition party, whose objects were easily traced through the transparent veil thrown over them. Mr. B. declared that in joining the Democracy he did not change his principles, but only his party name, and ho expressed the fullest confidence in a complete triumph over sectionalism. The debate on that bill was further con- tinued in short speeches by Messrs, Cass, Sew- ard, Hale, Clay, and Douglas. Mr Brown then introduced a joint resolu- tion authorizing the Commissioner of Public Buildings to contract for watering Pennsyl- vania avenue; which was passed. A committee of conference was appointed on the disagreeing votes of the two houses upon the Bounty Lund bill, ere they adjourned over until Monday next. In the House, a large number of private bills, reported from the Committee of ths Whole, were passed; and then they adjourned over until Monday next. Political Items. Tho Pittsylvania district of Virginia met in Danville on Wednesday last, and elested Wm. H. Clarke, esq, of Halifax, and Wm. B. Thompson, esq., of Franklin, delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, and James M Dillard, esq., of Henry, and Walter Coles, jr., eeq., of Pittsylvania, alternates. The convention did not adopt any resolutions instructing the delegates how to vote. The Know Nothing Split Convention, the offshoot from the Philadelphia gathering, will be held in New York on Thursday, June 12 The call is signed by representatives from twenty States and Territories. The Conven- tion will nominate candidates for President and Vice-President, and the Free State Know Nothings are earnestly requested to be present by Delegates. The colored Know Nothings of Ohio, a few days since, called a State Convention, to be held at Columbus, onthe 29th of May. Their white brethren, not to be outdone in patriotic labors, have called theirs for the 27th of May, two days in advance. Gen. James Yell, an old Jackson Democrat, is spoken of as the probable Know Nething candidate for Governor of Arkansas. A New York correspondent of the Rochester Advertiser says: You may expect some stir- ring Ieee newsin afewdays George Law will be the American candidate. Fillmore will decline the nomination of the party given to him at Philadelphia. He will decline be- cause he is not an ‘‘American,’’ in the party sense in which that word is now used by the Know Nothings Information has been re- ceived from Mr. Fillmore, within a few days, to that effect. He will give his reasons for not being one of the dark lantern party An election was held in Boston on the 28th ult. for Register of Deeds, which resulted as tollows : For Henry Alline, opposition, 3,295; For James Rice, Fillmore K. N. 1,018. Ma- jority against KN. 2,277. The St. Louis Republican, of the 27th ult. says: No despatch, so far as we can learn, has been received in this city from Col. Ben- ton, signifying his determination in regard to the position given to him on the ticket put forward by the Price Convention. According to the telegraphic despatches this morning, he will decline to run for Governor, but the au- thority does not seem to be altogether reliable, Col. John Charles Fremont is not a Catholic nor aslaveholder, but is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church, and is “ intense- ly opposed to the further extension of slave- ry.’ SosaysC C. Chaffee, member of Con- gress from the Tenth district of Massachusetts From Hayti.—By late arrivals from Port au Prince, it appears that the Emperor in en- gaging in the late contest depended too much on the interested representations of disaffected Dominicana ; but, although defeated, he was not disposed to listen to dictation from a for- eign Power as to his future action inthe affairs of his government. It wassuapected that the interest shown by the English and French of- ficials towards Faustin I. proceeded solely from jealousy of the progress and influence of the United States both in the Congress and Cabinet. The Dominican authorities had ratified a treaty with the United States. Itis identical with the one negotiated by General Cazeneau. President Mota had proclaimed death to all outiaws or filibusters landing on the island. Buin Preacners.—The Rev Dr. Spring has. in consequence of his protracted applica- tion to books and writing, failed in his eye- sight. The Rev. Dr. Barnes, of Philadelphia, can see but very imperfectly ; yet he manages to do considerable writing. “The Rev. Mr Milburn, the blind preacher and lecturer, whose eloquence has delighted so many ‘in va- rious parts of the land, is publishing a work entitled “Axes, Rifles, and Saddlebags ” The Rev. Dr. Wackbridge, of Spencertown, N. Y., who has been blind from the commence- ment of his ministry,fis said to be engaged at (Saeeag in preparing recollections of his own imes. Moxey rrom Asroap.—The Boston Journal says: ‘‘ During the late war in Europe large sums of money were sent to this countr: by sev- eral houses abroad, to be investe in the United States; and, from what our informant has learned upon the subject, it appears that the agents of those houses in this city have advised their principals to continue their in- vestinents among us, on account of the ample interest and security to be had for foreign. funds in this part of the country.”” ——— ron sarge € an individual dressed in genteel euit of black, with all the adjuncts of a gentleman, excepting that he was hatless and shoeless, appeared in Broadway, New York, and promenaded the street with a very sedate demeanor. It is conjectured he was some benighted votary who had undertaken @ mission of penance ; but it is quite as likely that he was crazy, or a fool who had made a wager. ———————E A ConergcationaL PLEASURE Trip.—It is stated 0 clippor ship Dreadnought, and will start pred or ~ oo 'y twenty members church on a pleasure sockets Benes trip for a few Counrerrigts.—The Baltimore Cli says that gold coin of the denomination | FSI feems to be passing quite currently in that city at the present time.
