The Intelligencer pbylorophizes over the blessings vouchsafed to us asa nation, the per- ils we have gone through, and those now beset- ting us. The editor thinks that if our govern- mental experiment fails, we aloue will be chargeable with that sad result, and urges upon all such conduct as citizens as will best tend to the perpetuation of our laws, system, and American institutions. On such a theme, the venerable editors of the Jntelligencer are always eloquent indeed; and rarely more so than in their issue of yesterday. The Union announces that hereafter Mr. Hunter Nicholson (a son of Judge A. O. P. Nicholson) will be associated with his father in the gencra! conduct of that journal, having been its literary editor for some time past The same paper compares the leading pro- visions of the two Kansas State bills that passed —one the House, and the other the Sen- ate—on Thursday last, showing'in glaring light the great impropriety of the Senate's measure. The Union also philosophises over the Fourth of July, arguing that the country is indebted for most of the blessings by which we are surrounded to the operation of the Policy of the Democratic party, and urging the people to labor to keep it in the ascendang in.the Government, if they would perpetuate those bleseings, _ ro oo PERSONAL. The trial of Baker for the murder of am Poole will, it is said, take place at Hudzon, N. Y., early in December next By that time, it is very likely that the most im- portant witnesses will be xov est. +++ The Bangor Democrat pointedly re- marks :—*‘ There are a good many clergymen who deliver sermons purporting to be their own composition, which were substantially composed by the writers for the New York Tribune, and previously published by the firm of Greeley, McElrath & Co.

The diver Was protected by copper armor, and was un- der water forty minutes The upper deck of the steamer lies one hundred and sixty feet under water, and far below where there is any current er motion. Everything therefore is exactly as it first wentdown. When the diver alighted upon the deck, he was saluted by a beautiful lady, whose clothing was well ‘ar- ranged, and her heir elegantly dressed As he approached her. the mation of the water caused an oscillation of the head, as if gracefully bowing to him. She was standing erect, with one hand grasping the rigging. Around lay the bodies of several others, as if sleeping. Children holding their friends by their hands, and mothers with their babes in their armi thero In the cabin the fur- niture wes still untouched by decay, and to all appearance had just been arranged by some careful and tacteiul hand. In the office he found the safe, and was en- abled to move it with ease, and took it upon deck, where the grappling irons were fastened on, and the prize brought safely to the light. Upon opening the safe it displayed its con- tents in a perfect stateof preservation There was in the safe $5,000 in gold, $3,500 in bills of the Government Stock Bank, and a large amount of bills on other banks, amounting in all to about $36,000. The papers were unin- jared, except that they smelied very strongly of decayed human bodies, as if it had lain for aay —_ = a coffin with theirowner.

On motion of Mr. Douglas be- fore the final question was takon, the right of such of the Free State men as aro alleged to have left the Territory on account of the ex- isting tropbles there, to vote in choosing the proposed convention to frame a State constitu- tion, was secured beyond peradventure, if they elect to become citizens. No unfairness is al- leged against the Senate’s proposition, nor is it argued that it fails to cover every point necessary inthe existing state of things to secure a perfectly fair and unmolested ex- pression of the opinion of every man who» rightfully, should be privileged to vote in de- termining the features of the State govern- ment under which they are to live. Indeed we have so far heard but a singlo plea against it, which is so very flimsy, as that from it, the reader will porceive that this bill has complete- ly swept away all plausible pretence even on the part of the Republican party, for failing to aid the immediate pacification ef the Terri_ tory and settlement of the dangerous question, the agitation of which has generated the state of revolution and civil war with which it has been so long afflicted. This novel objection is that the Missouri democrats, abandoning their State to Fill- more in the approaching election, will flock over into Kansas to vote on the day before the Presidential election occurs. To the reader of common sense, we need hardly say that the idea of abandoning their state to Fillmore has never boen dreamed of by any Missouri democrats. They all know that the treacher- ous course which Colonel Benton is pursuing will make it necessary for them all to stand by their colors at home, and that by so doing they will finish the gallant Colonel politically; will drive the last nail in his coffin as a polit- ical man, a purpose they have more seriously at heart than any other, whatever that other may be. Those who are prepared to urge this flimsy pretext for seeking to keep open the Kansas embroglio in order thus to aid the Republican cause in the November election, entirely overlook the fact that no man is to be allowed to vote in the territory on the pro- posed occasion who shall not previously have been clearly ascertained to have been a citi_ zen four months prior to the grand contest at the ballot box; or, in other words, at this present time. Nor is proof of such prior res- idence of all citizens of the United States to be made on offering to vote. It must, under the Senate’s bill, be made before one of the five census takers long prior to the day of the election. The Contested Election Case.—More is in- volved in the case of the contest for the scat of Mr. Allen of Illinois, in the House of Rep- ressntatives, than meets the eye of the casual observer. The serious effort to oust that gen tleman has its origin in the fact that by giving his seat to his contestant, the Republicans feel sure that they will thus secure the vote of the State for Fremont, in case the approaching presidential contest may terminate in the House. But for this fact the idea of ques- tioning Mr. Allen’s right to hi- seat upon the testimony which his opponent has adduced would be a matter of derision with all the’ members of all parties. Under existing cir- cumstances however, it is not remarkable that that testimony, as flimsy as it is, is sought to be made the excuse for the effort to “stock’’ the Illinois delegation so that if called on to cast the vote of their State for a President, it will surely be given for the Re- publican nominee. Most of those are expected to aid in ousting Mr. Allen who, by party drill, were induced to aid and abet revolution against the Govern ment of the United States in passing the bill to admit Kansas‘with a Constitution made bya handful of Abolitionists of the Territory, none others of the inhabitants of the Territory being in any manner consulted, or having any thing to do with it, until it made its appearanee in the city, to be used really for making Repub- lican party capital. We have so repeatedly shown that its adoption by-the Abolitionists of the Territory was an act of palpable and avowed revolution, as that it is needless for us to repeat that exposition here. We have to find the firet Republican member of Con- gress who does not admit the fact, as well as that not more than from three to five hundred inhabitants of the territory sanctioned or ap- proved it by their votes, when its framors went through the farce of submitting it to the peo- ple of the territory for their acceptance or rejection. When men of suffiziont character at home get into Congress fail to halt at such a viola- tion of their trust as was involved in the ac- tion of the majority of the House on Thursday last, it is hardly to be hoped that many of them will fail todo their best to secure tho vote of Illinois for Fremont in case the elec- tion comes to the House, if that can be done simply by ousting a gentleman, the validity of whvse election would not be questioned under ordinary circumstances, and awarding his seat to an opponent, on whose co-operation with them they can rely. Disarming Them.—The telegraphic report- ers are howling in all the northern newspa- pers of abolition tendencies over the disarm- ing of the_bands of recruits revently-sont from Chicago and elsewhere to perpetuate civil war in Kansas. These are the same writers who not long since were howling at Col. Sumner for alleged tardiness in disarming the pro-slavery men in the Territory. It will be noticed that nine-tenths of the arsons and murders com- mitted in Kansas since the U.S. troops have been seeking to restore order there are acts of the Free State party, the pro-slavery men of- fering no opposition direct or indirect to the orders of the authorities of the General Goy. ernment in their midst. It will alzo be recol- lected that Reeder’s appearance in Chicago after he ran away from Kansas, was instantly followed by intense excitement of the mob, and enormous subscriptions of money and arms to sustain the cause of abolition in the Territory, by violence ; and, further, that Volunteers to that end wero raised and sent thither in iarge numbers, being paid their expenses and $100 per man to go there as abolition troops under the guise of settlers. All who remember the character of the meet- ings in Chicago under whose auspices they were sent cut will realize that their main ob- ject in going thither was to take part in the then existing civil war. All good citizens “pproved the policy of the Government in dis- arming any and all armed bands falling in the way of the United States troops; and all good citizens will no less continue to approve the act of disarming armed bands hastening inte the Territory from any quarter whatever, despite the howlings of the abolition press when the parties disarmed under such circumstances happen to be their friends, rather {than their enemies. Getting to Work.—The various clubs to conduct the canvass on the part of the de- mocracy of this city are rapidly organizing. They bid fair to work, one and all, in perfeot harmony, and to co-operate to the very great advantage of the cause they all have at heart. The Federal Metropolis is necessarily the point from whence nearly all the political documents for gratuitous circulation are sent over the country. They have to’be folded, directed, mailed, &c., tothe number, perhaps, of millions, weekly, fyom now until Novem- ber. All this labor is performed gratuitously by those among us who take from their own pockets much of the money necessary to pay for them also. The Democrats in Washing- ton, from each of the States have, on this occasion, for the first time, formed a separate club to this end. The plan isa good one, as it proposes to divide the labor in a manner in which it can be best attended to; the Penn- sylvanians knowing best what is required for their cause in their own State, the New Yorkers in theirs, the Indianians in theirs &e., &e. The other parties following the example thus set by the Democracy, are preparing to organize similar clubs here, which will proba- bly be under fulheadway by the beginning of August; after which, until November, there will doubtless be hundreds of our fellow citi- zens laboring intensely in setting public opin- ion right—each according to his own political predilections. We wish them all amerry time on’t. A Singular Misappretiension of Facts.— In the address by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to the people of the United States, signed by Mr. Gladstone, brother of the cele- brated member of Parliament ofsthat name, there is a very singular instance of the pains which have been taken in England to conccal and suppress the true facts in regard to Mr. Crampton. All the correspondence shows that Mr. Crampton by his own numerous de- claratigns and letters, commenced recruiting in the United States on the 4th of February, 1855, and continued without intermission un- til the 5th of August; and yet Mr. Gladstone assumes, and distinctly asserts, that the order to recruit was countermanded as soon as it was given, and that not a man was recruited in the United States! Massachnsetts.—One hundred and sixty out of the one hundred and ninety-seven who voted for Fillmore and Donelson in the recent Know Nothing State Convention at Worces- ter, Mass., seceded. They comprised a ma- jority of all tho Lona fide delegates present. By jugglery the Fremont party managed to coax their opponents into admitting more than a hundred volunteer and bogus delegates, by the aid of whose votes they subsequently man- aged to give the convention the semblance of a Fremont and Dayton affair. .These facts give rise to the secession. Among the se- ceders were two of the vice presidents and one of the secretaries. AContract Awarded.—We hear that Messrs. Taylor & Maury, booksellers and stationers, of this city, having been the lowest bidders for supplying, for the Gseal year commencing on the Ist instant, the,stationary required for the use of the Treasury Department and its various bureaus, the Secretary of the Trea- sury has awarded to them the usual contract to that end.

Bowen’sMathematical and Ciassical Academy, eame off on Thursday afternoon at Forrest Hall. The spacious hall was crowded by our citizens and friends of the pupils from your city, to witness tho exercises of the juvenile orators, each and all of whom acquitted them- “selves in a manner which elicited the admira- tion and applause of the entire audience. At the close of the exhibition, a large number of handsome premiums was distributed to the most proficient among the pupils by the Rov Mr. Tillinghast. The annual examination of the Rev. Mr. Simpson’s Academy came off on the same day The pupils generally exhibited a readiness to answer the various questions propounded to them, which showed that no ordinary effort had been put by their teacher to store their youthful minds with useful knowledge. At an early hour yesterday morning, nearly every place of business in our city was closed, and our citizens generally wended their way to some point to spend the National anniver- sary. Some to Bladensburg to participate in the Democratic Mass Meeting—some to differ- ent points down the river—some to accompany the Presbyterian Sabbath School to the woods of Mrs. Barber—some went with the West Georgetown Methodist School to the woods of Mrs Dashields, and others with the Methodist Protestant School to the grove of Mré. John H. King At each of the last named places, excellent addresses, suited to the occasion, was made by orators who had been selected for the occasion. At the Georgetown College they had a glorious time. Among the guests was the venerable George W. P. Custis. We have never seen the day more generally ob- observed, and we have not heard of the slight- est accident or mishap of any kind happening in any quarter. Tho old- custom of raising political poles, which had been abandoned in our city for a number of years has been again revived. The young Democracy have raised quitea lofty one, real simon pure hickory. eighty seven feet high, near the corner of Fourth and Mar- ket streets It is surmounted with a pair of bucks’ horns, and is soon to have floating from its top the stars and stripes, and a streamer bearing the names of the Democratic nomi- nees. The Know Nothings have also raised quite a handsome one at the foot of Potomac sireet, near the wharf, which was inaugurated last night. Mr. W. H Craig and others held forth. All our mills and factory, are silent this morning the water having been let off the ca- nal to enable the Lonacona Coal Company to complete their aqueduct, which will not be likely to occupy more than two or three days. Neither board of our sity councils was in session last night. Friend Shoemaker reports the following as the result of the labors of himself and deputy, Mr. Ciabaugh, for the quarter ending June 30th: Number of whole bbls. of flour inspect- pa 94,552; half bbls. 1,973. Corn meal 117 bbis The offerings of Beof Cattle at Drover’s Rest this week amounts to about 300 head, 200 of which was purchased by District butch- ers at £3.75a$4.75 on the hoof, equal to $7 50 a9 50 net. The balance were driven to Bal- timore. Old sheep and Jambs scarce, selling at $2 50a$3 per head. No change in the flour or grain markets since our report of Thuraday. Spectator. > Tae Conriict or tae Son or G P.R James witm tax Inpiaxs.—The Richmond Whig contradicts the story going the rounds ef the papers in relation to the conflict of Walter Sames’s conflict with the Indians of Wisconain, as false in almost every particular. The simple facts are these: Mr. James went out alone to shoot deeron Rics Lake. He heard some Indians, who had obtained spirits shouting and making a great noise, and he went to their wigwam to request them civilly to desist, representing that they scared all the gamoaway. He never warned them off at all. There were three men inthe wigwam, all of whom came out to speak with him at once, amongst them a famous fighting Indian, who once attempted to kill a gentleman of the name of Geldsbery. They were talking with Mr, James quite quietly, when suddenly one snatohed his rifie from his hands, another seized him by the throat, and the third at- tacked him with a knife. He is a remarkably owerful and resolute man; and drawing his unting knife, he fought for his‘life. The man who had snatched the gun, aimed it at him and pulied the trigger; but it was luckily at half cock, and before he could cock it and aim it again, he was felled by a blow of Mr. James’s hunting knife. The other two were also soon disabled ; but no blow was giv- en, except in absolute self-defence. The point of the hunting knife was never used by Mr James, but merely the edge, in order to spare his assailants as far as possible. In tHe Grocery Line.—A chap named Henry Sinallwood was arrested last evening on the charge of helping himself to the following articles, from the grocery of Messrs. Goodrich & Co., without going through the custowary formalities, to-wit: 10 brooms, 3 hams, 3 beef tongues, 3 jars of preserves, 2 canister of tea, 1 box ditto, 6 bottles of sauce, 2 bottles of ketchup, 1 box salmon, | box lobsters, 1 Lottle mustard, 6 boxes of yeast powder, and 6 boxes of sardines.—Louisville paper.
