The Intelligencer (as wight be expected {com its previous position on the controversy) says of the last deepateh from Lord Claren- don on the enlistment embroglio, now the sub- ject of so general interest, which it republishes this morning : «« In submitting these documents to the pe- rusal of our readers it forms no part of our present purpose to accompany them with any comment of our own, except to express our gratification that their conciliatery character is such as we bad before assigned to them on the authority of current rumor; to which we may simply add @ renewal of the hope, before expressed, that our Government will, in a spirit of frankness and courtesy, forego tho further prosecution of this vexatious contro- versy, and accept the proffered hand extended toit if the British Government. Such an act, az it seems to ur, would be alike honorable and graceful. The editor says that his (additional) sum- mary of the points of the despatch in question “will suffice to show how amply the British Government, in the matter of our complaint, has disclaimed any intention ‘either to in- fringe the law, gr to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of the United States ;’ and how earnest is the hope expressed that these ‘explanations and as- surances’ may preve satisfactory to our Goy- ernment.’” The Union contains an elaborate and really conclusive article in reply to the effort of Francis P. Blair to create the impression that in going over to the Abolitionists he is simply adhering to his former Jacksonian faith, and that were Jackson himself alive he, too, would be found in these times cheek by jowl with Messrs. Seward, Greeley, Wilson, Sumner, Gov. Johnston, of Pa., and the other such po- liticians In the course of this able article the Union proves conclusively that Blair practiced gross deception on Gen. Jacksor, through which alone he was enabled to ex- tract from him the latter’s letters which he (B.) is in the habit of using to cloak the entire want of political principle that induced him to turn Abolitionist. eo WASHINGTON KEWS AND GOSSIP A Manly Argument.—We have repeated!y taken occasion to express our firm conviction that Virginia and the whole South, on cor- sulting together at Cincinnati, will yote for the re-nomination of Franklin Pierce, doing so as a simple matter of imperative principle, to which they would ro more think of giving the go-by than they (the delegates) would think of cutting off their right hands to gratify the friends of other aspirants. We find in the Richmond Enguirsr a report of the epeech of Mr. Seddon, delivered immediately sfter his election as a delegate from the Richmond dis- trict of Virginia, which illustrates forcibly the sentiment actuating the Sowth in this con nection, on the influence of which we have been calculating. We quote Mr. Seddon by way of showing the Star’s readers precisely what the South thinks and feels as to her duty in the coming contest at Cincinnati. Thus, after declaring that his personal preference is for Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, he says: How then shall our aid and encouragement be most effectually afforded to our Northern allies in the approaching dire conflict of par- ties for the Presidency, its power and patron- age? May it not be incumbent on the South to renounce her predilections and aspirations for her sons, and unite cordially from the first in bestowing the candidacy of the party on one —— the able leaders proposed from the North ? incline indeed personally to think that in the peculiar circumstances of the times and awid the numerous distractions existing at the North, the Democracy of that section might be most completely allied and success- fully led by a Southern candidate. but such may not be the convict or wish of the North, and I for one am prepared toéack our friends there in the manner most acceptable to themselves. In such contingency who among them should be our first choice? In all candor I humbly think our present chief mag- istrate, Franklin Pierce. Coming from the North, he was accepted heartily by the South, and with the acclaim of the whole Democracy of the Union, borne by triumphant majorities to the Executive Chair. Through his term of office, he has administered in the main to the entire satisfaction of the Democracy, es- pecially of the South, the affairs of this great republic, aseerting our rights abroad with dig- nity and firmness, and maintaining at home with steadfastness and ability the great princi- ar of the Constitation, of the equality of the tates and of the true Democratic creed. I mean to say that there may not have been m minor matters vecasional wistakes in his ad- ministration, but all zuch, I think, are clearly attributable to error of judgment as to means, snd not to want of will and zeal for the right To us of the South his administratien should be Specially satisfactory for all the great a affecting our rights and institutions. be Ransas Nebraska bill, the repeal of the odious Missouri restriction, the fugitive slave law, and all the mischievous agitations of free-soilism and ebolitionism, have been met by him with signal manliness, decision and Vigor. The South is undoubtedly indebted to him for a farther recognition and mainte- nance of ber fundamental institutions, an atler and more isfactory exposition, es- pecially in his last masterly of her constitutional rights and of the justice aod moderation cf her course, both past aod present, and for ‘ore signal rebuke of the intolerant fanatici«m and aggressive spirit of the Northern anti-slavery organizations, than have ever been afforded by any previous Ex- ecative. We owe to him, therefore, in large measure, appreciation end gratitude, and should we net exhibit it by continuing him, to far as depends on our suffenge, in tho high functions ninistered with so much fidelity and equity to us, and which we may have, from the past, the fullest confience he will continue to exercise for our defence and the assertion of our rights! Fidelity and steadfast appreciation, on the part of the South, to this friendly executive trom the North, are the more essential, be- cause, at this very time, insidious efforts and dangerous aspersions are being used in that quarter to weaken the influence of the South and shake the confidence of Northern men in the sincerity and constancy of her support The Wilsons, Hales, and o:her unscrupulous Jeaders of the Black Republican crew, are ac- tively disseminating, far and wide in the North, the rain J that the South views with real indifference the fate of her staunch. est allies at the North, and never hesitates to racrifice, to every passing motive of expe- diency, those Northern politicians who bave perilied and suffered in her cause. To give something of countenance to this aspersion, “ppeal is made to the fact that no Northern Presitent has ever been honored by 8 second term, while those from the South have fre- —s enjoyed that crowning distinction. the truth of history, indeed, belies the asper- tion and readily explains the causes of the fact. It is certain the Southern Democracy has never deserted those of her choice, while true and faithful, nor until they had first de- serted Ler and ber principles “This was em- peaties xemplified in the caseof Mr Van Suren. Still, the calumpy having some show of plausibility, may do us of the South, much general mischief atthe North I think it, therefore, the duty of the South. and I, as an humble representative, shall rejoice to seize the opportunity, to prove the utter falsity of this calumny and trample it forever to the dust. In this just work ef vindication, in my opinion, it specially behooves Virginia to be prominent. It has been her proud boast ‘famong the faithless ever faithful found ;’’ to be always true to those who were true to her pringiples, and never, “‘ through fear, fa- vor or sffection,”’ to betray or desert an ally ora friend. Let her then now signally illus- trate this noble constancy by her appreciation and support of the Chief Magistrate, who has conspicuously vindicated her institutions and ber rights. To this, too, she should be im pelled by another important consideration. Such has been the appreciation throughout the South generally of the ability and fidelity displayed by Mr. Pierce in the maintenance of our rights, that nearly all the Southern States from North Carolina, South and West, have cordially avowed their spproval of his administration, and even declared their pre- ference for his re-nomination. Now would it be either worthy or becoming that Virginia, the leading Southern State, both in position and interest most ex; and most sensitive to Northern aggression, should be bebind her Southern sisters in acknowledging distinguish ed service rendered her section, and be sever- ed from them in awarding the merited meed of honor? Inthe contingency then of select- ing a Northern candidate, I think that. other Southern States concurring, the first choice of our State should be Franklin Pierce. This opinion may, perhaps, be deemed entitled to the more weight, that as a question of original predilection among Northern men, Mr Pierce would not be my first, and that I have no personal bias whatever to induce the prefer- ence, having no acquaintance with him—not having ever seen him, and having certainly no favorsin the past to acknowledge, nor in the future to expect at hishands My prefer- ence for him is simply a tribute of justice and — for his services especially in the outh. The Ordnance Corps.—No other branches of the military service of this government are really as useful as the Ordnance Corps, whose duty is almost entirely that of artizans, almost every one of its members being em- ployed in mechanical pursuits, and not a few of them on public work requiring the very first order of mechanical genius and skill. The corps is noted, too, for having in it men who have served long in the army, enlisting and re-enlisting time and again. In timo of war no other corps of the army is more exposed or performs more actual or as useful labor; yet, in the late law raising the pay of the army, by an oversight this corps was overlooked This was the result wholly of accident, and the Secretary of War, we hear, has taken oc- casion to press upon the Military Affairs Com- mittees of both Houses of Congress the justice of and necessity for placing the corps to which we refer above, on a footing with the rest of the army, 20 far as pay is concerned. Those who enlist as “laborers” in the corps really do the duty of artizans or artificers, and upon their skill and efficiency the effi- ciency of the rest of the service, in great part, depends. If be a member of either House of Congress who doubts the jus tice of their claim to be put on a footing with the rest of the army, we invite him to go down tn cog. to the Washington arsenal, where a considerable number of the members of the corps are employed; and he will there see that, though paid but army wages before the recent increase in the pay of the soldiers of the army of the United States, nearly every man of them is engaged profitably to tne gov- ernment on work which, if done for individ- uals, would command the highest rates of me- chanics’ wages.

Mis- souri and Virginia Sixes have fallen 3 tol per cent. from our previous quotations. Western Railroads have participated in the downward movement, and have declined from 2 to 3 per cent. The money market is reported easier, and the decline noticed above must, we presume, be attributed to the uneasy state of our rela- tions with Great Britain, and the apprehend- ed dismissal of the Minister. On yesterday, the market recovered to some extent, and better prices ruled The disbursements under the deficiency act, throwing into business channels nearly $4,000,000, has produced in our own market sensible relief. On the Ist of June, payments will be commenced on the $7,750,000 of the Texan indemnity, and these favorable circumstances, if aided by an early settlement cf pending difficulties with Great Britain, will give activity and buoyancy to the Stock market and branches of business connected with it LARD WARRANTS, within the last ten days, have fallen off both in this and the New York markets from 8 to 10 cents per acre. We quote the market dull to-day at the figures given above. Several of the large dealers are not buying, and others ere indifferent about purchasing.

The recent veto messages of the President (returning unsigned two river improvement bills) were taken up and debated by Mr. Benjamin against their positions, and Mr Toombs in their favor. The Senate adjourned, after a brief Execu- tive session. In the House, Mr. Letcher delivered a speech against the bill reported from the Public Lands Committee by Mr. Cobb, of Ala , grant- ing lands to the State of Alabama in uid of the construction of certain railroads. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., moved to go to busi- ness on the Speaker’s table; not agreed to — yeas 57, nays 93. And then, after a brief reply to the remarks of Mr Letcher, from Mr. Cobb, of Ala., the bill was passed, (with the amendment also re ported by Mr © )—yeas 74, nays 61. After an ineffectual motion, made by Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, to close the debate on the Army Appropriation hill on Tuesday next, the House went into Committee, (Mr. Grow again ia the Chair,) wherein the said bill having been taken up— Mr. Bliss delivered a speech on the Kansas question. The Committee then rose (Mr Barkedale being next entitled to the floor) and the House adjourned. vice has been made and arrests also, but of no avail, and at last Robinson and Reeder have fied the Territory. Inthe act of getting away, Robinson was taken at Lexington, and will be conveyed back to-day, by Territory men. Missourians are holding off in the whole mat- ter. and all that is done is the work of residents in Kansas. Should further resistance be made to the execution of the laws, it is pretty weil established that an attempt will be made to enforce them in a summary manner A proclamation of the U. S. Marshal, eall- ing to his aid all good citizens, was issued in the Territory on Sunday last, and if responded to, will enable him to make any arrests he feels sed to do The Governor is not a participant in the matter; it is the operation of the U. 8, au- thority, and ought not to be interrupted by any person whose power to act is question- able. We understand that the commission is making but little progress—each of the nor- thern members of it taking part with the rebel party, and in consequence of their participa- tion in euch measures, Whitfield and Oliver have left the place, and do not intend to have anything to do in the affair. Every one can see what kind of report they will send up to Congress. FURTHER FROM KANSAS. Cnicaco, May 21.—Dates from Leaven- worth, Kansas, to Saturday, have been re- ceived. Itis stated that Wednesday (to day) had been fixed upon for the attack contem- plated on Lawrence. A complete “reign of terror’? existed throughout theterritory. Two cannons had been taken across the the river at Chisen, destined for Lawrence. The Beau- ford eompaay of militia had been furnished by Gov. Shannon with United States arms. Tho Free State men are in want of arms and ammunition. Marshal! Donaldson had pro- claimed his attention to make clean work this time. Gov. Robinson is still at Lexington.
