The Union reviews the financial transac- tions of John C. Fremont with the Govern- mentin connection with early California affairs to prove that they were rotten to the core with corruption, and concludes as follows : “FP, these extraordinary financial per- iakaanee can well understand how those men who bankrupt themselves, and who have contributed to bankrupt their States, and would bankrupt Uncle Sam if ey could, were so enthusiastic in cheering for Fremont ‘* If elected. could he well deny his leading supporters privileges at money making cor- responding with those formeriy enjoyed by himself? If they should follow the prece- dents set by him, would not the speculations prove splendid ? It is certainly natural that auch pi ts should rejuvenate the dilapi- dated a inspirit the decayed politician to the greatest possible exertions. Fremont was mainly nominated by this class. What will those who sustain themselves by honest indus- try say to the Mariposa and cattle specula tions? Will they give either their approval?’’ The Intelligencer is, to-day, devoted to Congressional matters. VS WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssiP Legislation.—The Senate yesterday were fora time gravely engaged on a proposition to spend public money on experiments to test the applicability of sending the mails of the United States over the country through an exhausted tube by megns of atmospheric pres- sure, a scheme in which men of science gen- erally have little faith, as far as we can per- ceive. If we are not mistaken, about the only machines to carry great weights long distances, the power being atmospheric pres- sure, whieh have succeeded in practice, though experiments have been made with such from the commencement of civilization down to to-day, are the ordinary ship’s sails. There is a machine on exhibition in the ro- tunda of the Capitol for the navigation of the air, (by balloon,) carrying paseengers and freight, which, the inventor is satisfied, wil] be perfectly under the navigator’s contro} when suspended between heaven and earth. Sails and arudder are to control its move ments. Why don’t the Senate devote a day orsotothat? Sowego , The Public School Celebration —We be- speak a very large attendance of our fellow- citizens of the Federal Metropolis at the Pub- lic School celebration to come cff on Monday next. Those charged with the task of getting it up have exerted themselves with proper zpirit to make its ceremonies imposing, and its influences upon the thousands of children who will participate in it very beneficial. ‘The question of their success, however, is in- volved in that of the number of adults who lend them their countenance on the occasion, The Public Schools of Washington may easily be made equal to any in the United States. This is to be accomplished, however, only by geveral public interest inthem. As the public manifest interest in them so will they prove effective for good results, and only in ratio with the manifestation of that interest. The District.--It is to be hoped that on Monday next the House will consent to set apart two or three days for the consideration of business prepared by the District Commit- tee. Its members are careful and laborious gentlemen forthe most part, and have devoted themselves faithfully to the discharge of their uty. We really believe that there never was before a House District Committee whose recommendations, one and all, were so con Scientiously made, and were made after so laborious and careful investigations. These facts shou!d entitle their suggestions with reference to the requirements of the public interest at this point to more than ordinary consideration on the part of their fellow mem- bers. The Drought.—The farms and gardens in this vicinity are suffering greatly for want of rain. The drought is already making serious- ly against remunerative fall crops. We have had wuch experience in tilling the ground in this vicinity, and know a remedy which so far has never failed us in the matter of guarding against the otherwise disastrous effects of such a season as this in which we seem to be enter- ing The seoret lies in deep (sub-soil) plough- ing and heavy manuring. The twoexpedients together, have not failed us, when applied, once in the last seven years Internal Improvements.—The veteran Richmond Enquirer raises @ warning voice against the system of internal improvements by the General Goverment now being urged on Congress. That journal represents a pow- erful interest in the Democratic party, which will not consent to give up its time-honored principles upon the internal improvement question; more especially because it regards the threatened abandonment of the creed of the Democratic party on this subject as but a prelude to its abandonment of its cherished positions on other questions involving the powers and duties of the General Government wherein the schools of Monroe, Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were at issue. The Privateersmen’s Bill.-—The recent speech of Mr. Davis of Massachusetts, was a capital defence of the interests of his constit- uents as involved in this megsure. It was evidentiy prepared with great care and re- search, and ewbraced more sterling and effee- tive arguments in favor of regarding thoze who have served their country on privateers, co-equal with thos¢ who have served in the regular navy of the United States, so far as the distribution of the country’s atter gratui- ties and rewards ig concerned, than were eyer before brought to the knowledge and notice of Congress. The constituents of Mr. Davis owe him much, indeed. The Steamship.—The Vanderbilt was vis- ited throughout the course of yesterday by a large number of gentlemen and ladies, in every description of sailing craft on the Poto- mac that could be pressed into the service, of the Merchant’s Magazine, New gay: National ex route for the East, having been appointed to the command of the Norfolk Navy Yard. that this appointmert will be revoked, and that he will be appointed to the command of the Navy Yard at Philadelphia. modore is the seventh naval officer in seniority in the United States. Allcame away delighted with the result of the mechanical and scientific skill of the United States as manifested in the construc- tion and finish of the noble vessel. Another Contribution. —The National Mu- seum, United States Patent Office. hes re- esived large additions from British Guiana, through Mr. Crampton, late British Min- ister, which have been arranged for exhibi- tion. The cases and paintings have been re- numbered, and a guide oF catalogue prepared for gratuitous distribution to visitors. The Public Health.—W ashington City never was healthier at this period of the year than at present. We sincerely believe that there is as little sickness among us just now as in any other community in the world numbering as many souls. How few among us are aware how greatly we are blessed in this inestimable particular!

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, they laid over until next Friday, the bills to renew the reaping machine patents of Obed Hussey and Moore and Hascall, and passed bills for the relief of Charles Stearns, J.E Martin, Franklin Peale, John Munson, and Joseph Graham. On motion of Mr. Yulee, the bill requiring prepayment on all transient printed matter transported in the mails was next taken up, and passed Two reports were made by Mr. Johnson from the Military Affairs Committee, neither of which were finally disposed of, ere they adjourned over until Monday. In the House, after accepting the invitation to visit the steamship Vanderbilt at 4 p. m. to-day, the balance of the day’s session was for the most part devoted to the consideration of private bills, a number of which were p ed ere they took a recess until 7 p. m. On re-assembling at that hour they were addressed in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, on politics! topics, by Messrs. Crawford, Jewett, Cox, Barksdale, and Reade. At 10 p m. the Committee rose, and the House adjourned. Proceedings of Te-Day. In the House, this morning, up to the hour at which we went to press, they were engaged on private business (bills) of no interest to the public at large. - —————+e-——____. PERSONAL. +++» P. T.

Puaxtom Trains.—We understand that numbers of our citizens and persons living in the country on the line of railroad, have been considerable mistified and no little alarmed, by a singular fact recently noticed on repeat- 84 occasions. Between the hours of 11 and 12 o’olock at night, the approach of atrain of ears has been plainly heard, the shriek of the whisie and the rumbling of the train increas- ing in distinctness until the cars reach Staun- ton Depot and stopped. Persons hive gono to the depot to find out the cause of an arrival at so unusual anhour.

We incline to the belief that the local re- porter of the Intelligencer has been either sold or duped in regard to the attempt to cut down the Democratic pole in our city on Tues- day evening. We admit the fact that rivalry in business might have been one of the causes; but to suppose that politics had nothing to do with it, is perfectly preposterous. Tuesday night was not the first time the attempt was made, a similar one was made on the 31 of July, before the jealousy in business between the parties heretofore mentioned sprang up, and Magee’s house pelted with stones for helping to protect the pole from destruction. Simms took no part whatever in that aren He was not a member of the Democratic As- sociation. * Neither branch of our City Councils was in session last night, owing to there not being 3 quorum of the Council in attendance. Owing to a deficiency of water in the canal, in the vicinity of Dam No. 4, there have been but few arrivals this week. The offerings of beef cattle at Drover’s Rest, yesterday, amounted to 300 head; 150 of which were sold to District butchers at $3a $4 25 on the hoof, equal to $6a$8 50 nett, the balance (150 head) were driven on to Balti- more. Sheep $2a$3 124 per head. No change in the flour and grain markets. Stock of the former very light. 8. * Note.—The testimony leads us to the oan clusion, that the difficulty between Magee and Simms was a personal and not a political one, whatever may have been the influences in- ducing those acting with Simms in the affair to seek to destroy the pole.—Ep. ij?” The Celebrated Balm ef Zantherea, or Kast Indian Remedy, being prepared wiTHovt oricm, isthe safest a8 well as the surest cure for DiakkuKa, DYseNTERY, CHOLERA, griptog pain in the bowels and cuicpRew TexTH ix@.
