EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MoNDaY July 21, 1856 U7 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear uat!! the next day. Notice —Those charged with the manage- ment of clubs, societies, and all other associa- tions are notified that in order to insure the insertion of advertisements or notices of any description in the Scar, payment must be made for them when offered, or an arrangement for the payment for the same providedfor. There are now on file in our counting room many advertisements, not inserted, because our terms have not been complied with. This rule must be imperative. ——— SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Unton publishes mofe than seven col- umns of the minority report of the Kansas In- vestigating Committee from the pen of Mr. Oliver, which completely exposes the utter groundlessness of most of the conclusions of the majority report. It should be carefully read by all whe are really anxious to get at the truth of the Kansas embroglio—as it clears away, completely, the mountains of misrepre- sentation of the occurrences that have actually taken place there, on which the free-State cause has principally relied for its justifica- tion in the judgment of those who really res- pect the popular will. The Union also men- tions that after four years of delay the ac- counts of Dr, 0. M. Wozencroft, a former Ir- dian agent in California, five been finally adjusted ; the balance found to be due him by the Government being some two thousand dol lars. He was removed by the Fillmore Ad- ministration under serious charges, according to the Unton, which thus prove to have been wholly unfounded; the indebtedness in his case being from the Government to him, and not from him to the Government, as originally alleged. The Intelligencer publishes an extract from a letter, under date of San Juan del Nor’e July lst, 1856, which so completely bears out our representations of the true condition of affairs in Nicaragua, as that we re-publish from it as follows, to show the Star’s readers that we have kept posted in Central American affairs : “On the 11th of June ultime the so-called President Rivas escaped from Leen to Chinan- dega, and the following day issued a decree enjoining Walker to leave the country with all his foreign soldiers. Although Rivas had only six hundred native troops under his com- mand, Walker submitted to retreat from Leon to Granada, leaving that place in possession of Rivas; but on his arrival at the latter town Walker rebelled against Rivas, declaring him a traitor. The late Minister Ferrer, whose ‘eat merit is to be tipsy the whole time, has fan appointed the Provisional President un- der Walker, and is bound to make a desper- ate resistance. “Had Walker to contend only against Rivas, backed by the unarmed ‘people of Nicaragua, some chance might be left tor the adventurers; but the troops of Guatemala and Salvador, six thousand strong, are by this time in Nicaragua. Gen Martinez, with eight hun- dred soldiers from Honduras, has taken pos- session of Segovia and Matsgalpa, and must have effected his reunion with six hundred Nicaraguans, raised in Chontales by General Chamorro, and the army of Costa Rica will return egain to the charge. Walker has six hundred Americans in ail, enfeebled by the climate, unwholesome and scanty food, and decimated by the yellow fever; but give him eighteen hundred, as his partizans claim, and the adventurous career of Walker must be fa- tally closed ere long.” 937“ e PERSONAL. +++» Chevalier Hulsemann, the Austrian Minister, is at Newport. +++» Copway the Indian, is making Fillmore speeches in New York —Kzchange.

He said he was an or- phan, and that he felt the need of education, which be knew he could obtain there, and at the same time earn his living. He did not wish to have his name stigmatized with crime, as be could have comwitted some act which would have rent him there. He was sent up there in company with another who was sent up at the request of his mother. +++: The New York Examiner complains that it is continually called “Baptist” Ex- aminer. In like manner the Boston Watch- man is called the Boston “ Baptist” Watch- man.

Patents —Applications are being made to Congress for the renewal of many of the most important patents now in use in this country. In many instances the patentees having made ample fortunes from them, or having neglect- ed opportunities so to do that were clearly within tbeir reach, to comply with their pray- er will be to do great injustice indeed to the business of the country. In others, wher: all using the patented article join in the request for the renewal to secure perfection in the manufacture of the article, or where obstacles have occurred to the introduction of the ma- chines into general use—or again, where the imperfections of our patent laws have enabled patent pirates to defraud the patentee out of the legitimate fruit of his invention as very often happens, and where the user of the in- vention is profitted by it so much as that the sum charged for its use is comparatively a bagatelle, it is but acting in the spirit of the patent laws of this country to grant the re- newals prayed for. In these remarks we allude tono particular cases ; for we have so far not had leisure to look into the particulars of any of the cases now before Congress. They are, however, applicable as general principles; and their soundness and abstract justice will strike all who will reflect fora moment on them. No other subject is of much greater importance to the business interests of the country than that of the future of the patent laws of the United States, and the rights of American patentees. We owe to the latter much of the remarkable rapidity and sound success of the progress of our national industry; and it isa sound axiom to protect, as far as that can just- ly and constitutionally be done, those whose labors greatly benefit the public at large. Always jealous as we are of special legislation, we know that that is at times necessary for the public good, and more frequently in con- nection with the sutject of which we write above than with any other. Nevertheless, it is to be hoped that Congress will exercise an enlarged discretion in disposing of these ques- tions as they come up; protecting the true in- terests of the public as involved in each suc ceeding one of them with inflexible firmness, despite the efforts that will be made tosuper induce the adoption of the policy of renewing A’s patent because B’s has been renewed. The Nebraska Contested Seat, &c.—As the delegate from Nebraska Territory has no vote we have every reason to believe that the Re- publicans of the House will make a wonderful show of mock magnanimity in the case of Mr Chapman, whose seat is contested by a Mr. Bennett on the flimsiest pretences imaginable Were Mr. C. possessed of a vote that would be thrown for Buchanan in the remote con- tingency of the election going to the House, as flimsy as are the pretences on which his right to his seat is being contested, he would be hustled out with a ight compunctions as they manifested on Friday last in the case of Mr Allen, of Illinois. To heave awarded the seat of the latter to his competitor in the face of his (Mr. Allen’s) powerful exposition of the utter invalidity of his claim to it, would have been too barefaeed even for the Republicans, who, so far, “stickle’’ at very few such ob- stacles as manifest justice, in working out their plans. As it will be impossible for a new election to take place jn Mr. Allen’s district in time to have the member back in Washing- ton ere the termination of the present session, itis very probable that the Governor of Llli- nois will direct that it (the new election) shal] take piace on the day of the Presidential elec- tion, when Mr. A. will, doubtless, be again returned by a majority ranging from 1,500 to 2,000, which will in itself involve proof of the trickery of the scheme of turning him out of the House that hag just been carried out Gecrgo Law's Alleged Letter —Bennet of the Hera/d, has elaborated a political letter, and published it with extravagant laudation, to which the name of George Law is appended in the form of authorship. . Well, George is rich, and bleeds freely fora puff Bennet has an“‘itching palm,”’ and wants to be rich This ruse is too transparent for avy market, and will never bring prime cost any where. Bennet is said to be very modest, bordering upon the bashful. It must have been a great effort to subdue this ruling virtue when he loaded the letter with such crushing praise, knowing as he did the hand 4e bad in its pa- ternity. Try again, the purse is full and the law is silent. It would be vastly amusing to interrogate George about tho metaphosis and political subtleties of the Scotch editor. He must be examined by a board. The Season.—Up to this time the season (agricultural) in this particular region has been more favorable for vigorous and thrifty crops than any other, for the past seven years. We know of nothing that the farmer puts in the ground that has fniled to do well, and no crop now making that is not promising at least a fair yield where properly attended to. That is, except the apple and peach crops, which were, for the most part, destroyed in this neighborhood by the severity of the past winter Our fellow citizens ofeity and country have every reason to be thankful for all these bleesings, which benefit all alike, the poor and the rich, and the consumer as well as the grower. — All Wrong.--The alleged list of Promotions in the Navy, confirmed by the Senate on Sat- urday, and published in the Baltimore papers is all wrong, having been apparently taken “*bodaciously”’ from the Naval Register. It embraces many names of persons not nomina- ted to the Senate, and others of Persons dead, resigned, &c., some time since Whenever it is pozsible to procure a correct list we will, of course, publish it. Dead.—We hear to-day of the death of Dr. 8. D. Mullowny, late of Pa, the United States Consul at Monterey, Mexico. He was a gen- tleman of remarkable attainments, speaking tome nine languages. A Card —I am informed thatthe Momoran- dum of & recent conversation of myself and friends with the friends of Mr. Brooks has re- ceived, in some quarters, from its position, as appended to Mr Brooks’ speech, an interpre- tation which does injustice to its rea) meaning and to my intentions. _ This is what I say, and have said, in rela- tion to any speech: That I observed in it the rules of personal and iamentary decorum; that I could not qualify or retract any portion of it, and beld myself responsible to any gen- tleman ieved. This is the only construction which I suy- posed would be placed on the memorandiim, which my friends reduced to writing, ‘hat there might be no misunderstanding But in- asmuch asattempts not altogether unsuccess- fal, have been made to prevert its true mein- ing, I now withdraw it. And, that there my not be any misapprehension in the future, say, explivitly, that I leave my speech to in- terpret itself, and hold myself responsible for it, without qualification or amendment. A.

Afterwards, they went into Committee of the Whole on the Private Calendar, wherein the bill for the relief of West Drinkwater and others was discussed at length, until having voted to recommend it for favorable aetion to the House, the committee rose. On motion of Mr. Jones of Tenn., (in order to permit the reperters and other friends of the late W. W. Curran, late the head of the Globe’s reporting corps for the House, to at- tend his funeral) they adjourned. Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, on motion of Mr. Hale, a resolution was adopted calling on the President for information whether any mili- tary officer of the Territory of Kansas has been instructed to disperse unarmed gather- ings of the people of that Territory, or by force of arms to prevent such meetings there. Shortly afterwards the bill appropriating $3,000,000 to improve the arms (muskets, &c ,) of the Government was taken up, and they were considering proposed amendments as the Star went to press. . In the House, Mr. Watson called up the resolution from the Election Committee oust- ing Mr. Chapman, tho sitting delegate from Nebraska, and awarding that gentleman’s present seat to the contestant, Mr Bennett. Mr. W. addressed the House at length in favor of that resolution, and had not con- cluded when the Star went to press. —EEE Tae Burnina of the steamer Indiana on Lake Erie (herctofore reported by telegraph) originated in the wocd-work around one of the chimneys, and spread very rapidly, burning the vessel to the water's edge ina very few minutes. Mr. Wetmore, the first mate, com- manding in the absence of Capt. Pheat, (who was left sick at home,) exerted himself to the utmost to save the passengers, and was the last one to leave the burning vessel. He stood at his pest throwing doors, life preservers stools, &c , to the passengers, who, wild with excitement, were leaping overboard in masses. The weather was pleasant, and a dead calm prevailed, and Mr. Wetmore says that if he could have controlled the recklessness of the passengers in jumping overboard not one of them would have been lost. - During the ex- citement some of the firemen and deck hands launched a small boat, into which several of them jumped, but it was drawn under the wheels of the steamer and they were lost With regard to the number lost, reports are conflicting. Mr. Marsh, the clerk of the vee- sel, says that not less than fifty have been lost. The number of passengers saved by the Miz- sissippi is 142. Svicipe in A Cemerery.—On the 5th of June last, a man of intemperate habits named Samuel Krebbs, renting in Richmond, at- tempted to destroy his life by cutting bis throat. His design was frustrated on that oc- casion by a timely discovery, though his man- ner indicated that he was not in the least grateful to those who interpcsed in his behalf. Determined to effect his purpose, he repaired, on Wednesday afternoon last, to Hollywood Cemetery, and there swallowed a dose of strychnine. Persons in the vicinity found him afterwards, suffering with terrible con- vulsions consequent upon the use of that deadly poison. and conveyed him to a house a short distance from the place, where he died about 9 o'clock p. m.—Richmond Whig Se Man ann TkAM aTrackeD py Bees.—Mr. 8. Hooper, residing near McKissack’s Grove, Iowa, while driving his team was attacked by bees. They made the attack apparently in three distinct strings about the size of a man’s arm, first attacking the horses One horse, in endeavoring to extricate himself, broke a blood vessel and died shortly afterwards ; the other is severely injured. They next attack- ed Mr. Hooper and’ those who came to his as- sistance. Everything was dono that could be to extricate the unfortunate man, but not un- til Mr. Hooper and Mr. Slusher were so se- verely injured that but little hope of their re- covery isentertained. The symptoms and suf- ferings of the unfortunate men resemble those of hydrophobia. MAssAcRUSETTS AND ALABAMA.—Tho Bos- ton Bee, of Saturday morning, contains Gov Gardner's reply to the late communication of Gov. Winston, of Alabama, returning the Kansas resolves of the Massachusetts Logisla- ture. Goy. Gardner >omments in severe terms upon the assumptions and assertions of the Executive of Alabama, and ecncludes by in- forming him that notwithstanding his express- ed wishes for no further intercourse with Mas- sachusetts, he (Gov G ) will continue to send resolves to the State of Alabama, when direc- ted to do so by the Legislature, so long as he fills the Executive Chair. Tae First Quaker Pun —Not long since, a “ Friend,” who rejoiced in the name of Com: fort, paid his devoirs to a young and attractive Quaker widow named Rachel H. Kither; her | Seay Were too new, or her lover too old, or rom other causes, his offer was declined. Whereupon a Quaker friond remarked: ‘'That it was the first modern instance he had known where Rachel refused to be Comforted.”” The anecdote is remarkable as being the first Quaker pun on record. Mixo Your Dier.—As all the fruits and vegetables used at this scason of the year are now abuedant, persons cannot be too cautious about giving the rein to a too free indulgence in them. here is nowa very general ten- dency to diseases, and the safety of life and health depends upon moderation in all things and diet particularly _ Ice ix Junz —The Weston (Va.)

Gronaztows, July 21, 1856. The following business was before our City Councils on Friday night : Mr. Cropley reported that the committee on the market house bad inquired in| ble cost of sealing the same, and it would amount to from four to five hundred dollars. They therefore deemed it inexpedi- ent at the present, and asked to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject ; _Mr Jones reported adversely on Aldermen’s bill appropriating $200 for the repair of roads and streets; laid over. Mr. Cropley intormed the Board that the pump commissioner was not prepared to re- port on the bill of Thomas Blundon.
