EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: frcsccvead 3}: Sar teee SATURDAY ......+.---0+++ August 3, 1856. 07 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer contains a letter from Senator Pearce, of Maryland, upon the par- ties of the day, wherein that gentleman sets forth, with great power and effect, irrefragible facts showing that Southern votes for Mr. Fillmore will be neitber more nor less than ‘votes to strengthen Fremont’s prospects for the Presidency. It is destined to fall with vonvineing force on the ear of the Southern “American and Whig parties. Mr. P.’s pre- delictions are evidently for Mr. Fillmore ; but seeing clearly that to support him under present circumstances will be but to aid the speedy triumph of Abolitionism, he earnestly recommends those holding sentiments in com- mon with bimseJf, to vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge. We also find in to-day’s Intelligencer an amusing letter from a “ Lake Superior Pio- neer,” wherein the writer argues as though the received doctrine out his way is, that it is the duty of Congress not only to make harbors and rivers for them where Providence has made only runs and mud-holes, but alsoto pay the cost of mining and getting their copper to market. If they “ progress” in the Great West for a few years longer as fast as of late, in the matter of stretching the duties and powers of the General Government to suit their wishes, we shall soon have honorable Western Senators and Representatives grave- ly urging bills to make good from the Na- tional Treasury losses accruing to their con- stituents from unprofitable speculations in eopper stocks, fancy town lots, &c., &c. The Union rejoices over the re-union of the New York Democracy ; and comments on the significant fact that Kit Carson refuses, point blank, to support Fremont for the Presidency. > > = WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The South.—The New York Hera/d of the day before yesterday contained a letter from Senator Toombs to an unnamed Georgia gen- tleman, one from that individual to the Her- ald, and also ove from a Fauquier (Virginia) farmer upon the subject of the future of the South in case of the election of Fremont. We do not know how wecan more aptly explain what will surely be the political condition of the South if the demented efforts of the South- ern opposition to make a diversion in Mr. Fill- more’s favor should result in Fremont’s elec- tion—for if Buchanan should be defeated it must be for Fremont’s benefit—than by quc- ting the following paragraph from a recently published letter from John Mitchell, who, like a sensible man, has settled down asa quiet farmer among the mountains of East Tennessee—viz : “Mr. Fremont comes forward as the leader ofa party which proclaims that the Northern States, having now at last the power, shall give law to theSouthern States as to the terms and conditions on which the ‘ Territories’ be- longing to the whole Confederation shall be settled and peopled. The Constitution de- erees the co-ordinate equality of the eeveral States ; this party proclaims their inequality. It asserts the right to brand these Southern people with amoral stigma before the civil- zed world—to treat them as communities af- feeted with a loathsome leprosy—to set a ——— upon their door posts, and tosay to them, ‘Stay where you are; stir not one step abroad, lest you infect us, sound and wholesome citizens; these Territories, won by cur common blood and treasure, are for us to expand and revel in; for behold, we are clean’ Our dear sick brethren, we are compelled, though it pains our heart, to hem you in and inclose you with a ring-fence, so offensive are you become to the general nostril. We shall also furnish you with physicians, Dr Beecher, Dr. Parker, most eminent practitioners. Purge you, make you clean; and when you have no taint or odor of the evil thing upon you, we shall admit you toa joint enjoyment of our common estate, perhaps.’ The letters to which we refer first above, illustrate the fact that with the Government of the United States in the hands of men as- suming to administer it according to the view of its rights and duties, and their rights and duties as abominators of chattel slavery, which the supporters of Fremont all preach and write, the idea of a much longer continu- ance of the present North American Confed- eracy is, simply, an absurdity. One of these letters—that from the “‘ Fauquier Farmer’ — is indeed a powerful exposition of the re- sources of the South for sustaining herself most prosperously in case of a dissolution of the present Union, illustrating, by the way, her European affiliations and political associ- ations in case she shall be driven to seek self- preservation in a separate national existence. Wedesire to say that the writer tells but unvarnished truth in intimating that his views as to her duty to herself insuch a contingency as be discusses are very extensively concurred in by the people of all the slavebolding States. We honestly believe that at this moment a majority of the voters of the Southern United States prefer to make the experiment of a separate nationality, to that of living in politi- cal connection with the North with such prin- ciples, views and measures in the ascendant in the General Government, as are contended for by ali who advocate Fremont’s election— and that none others will sooner clamor vo- ciferously for a resort to that safe guard against the fell spirit of Abolitionism, than the men of the South who are now laboring with might and main to bring about the tri- umph of Fremont, in the belief that they are Strengthening Fiilmore’s prospects, which have no existence in reality. Withio the Jast four or five years, the minds of nearly all in the South who take interest in public affairs have been earnestly turned to the purpose of guarding against the ulti mate tendency of American abolitionism, we have yet to find the first Person among them all who has not come to the conclusion that in separation at all hazards, and in that alone, is there hope for a peaceful, prosper- ous and free future of the slaveholding States, with a General Government essaying to carry into practice in its administration of the con- cerns of the Confederacy, such views as are enforced in all Republican party speeches in Congress. It is painful to us to have to ex- press such a conviction of the condition of Southern sentiment ; but that should be com- prehended at the North, and we would be Tecreant to our duty to the Union were we to fail to raise @ timely voice of warning. and A Free State Speculation —4 rich scene, we understand, came off at the Indian office © few days since. A Spruce, well-dressed young man, hailing from Boston, &pplied to commissioner Manypenny for information as to the habits and customs of the Shawnees | This is good news, indeed, for the a rtizans of With his usual carefulness in all matters con- cerning his wards, the Commissioner required the object of the inguiry. The young gentle- man, with great candor, stated that he had understood that the principal Chief a ., tion was possessed of large prope way of money, slaves and lands—was willing to bestow a large amount on any well-recom- mended white man who would marry his daughter, and that ho was “‘in forit.”’ To an inquiry as to whether his object was to as- certain the customs as to transfers of property, or those in regard to the rite of marriage, he replied, ‘‘I want to know whether I can hold the property, and as | have never seen either father or daughter, I want you to give me a letter of introduction.”? The Commissioner suggested to the young man the difficulty as to his holding slaves, when it was to be sup- posed that he was a free Stateman. But he replied that he “ would’nt be particular on that score.’ He ‘‘ would takewall he could get—the more the better.’’ Upon a sugges- tion that, as the young lady was a ward of the Commissioner, he was not sufficiently acquaint- ed with him to justify such a letter, the young gentleman offered to procure letters of recom- mendation from sundry distinguished gentle- men—Senators and others. These he procured and presented himself ‘‘ armed and equip. ped.’’ He stated that he had called on the President and Gen. Cass for letters to the father, but they declined interfering. To a statement of the Commissioner’s, that he had seen and was acquainted with the young lady, he exclaimed eagerly, ‘‘ You have seen her then—tell me—how does she look?” The Commissioner finally compromised the matter by referring him to the Delegate from Kansas, and the last seen of the young gentle- man, he was “leaning” towards the House— seeking for relref. Played Out.—No one expected any other result in the case of General Whitfield than that ocourring yesterday in the House hall. It was doubtless judged that his re-election could not be invalidated by failing also to dispose of the claim of A H Reeder to Whit- field’s seat, the dodge which most of the Re- publican party leaders favored on the night before last We thus account for the rejection of the resolution awarding the seat to Reeder. The only important point involved in the action of the House on Reeder’s cluim, is its elucidation of the fact that the whole Repub- lican party of Congress avow the purpose of striking down even the forms of law, as well a3 its substance, to accomplish their purposes where the slavery question is concerned. Not & man of them pretends that he was elected under any form or even pretence of law what- ever; and yet, almost to a man, they vote him entitled to enter the hall and seat him- self as a representative (delegate) from the Territory, clothed with all the functions of the position which are the attributes of those legally chosen to it. If they thus scout alllaw in working out their ends in such a case and under existing circumstances, what may be expected of them with the whole power of the Government for which they are struggling, in their hands? Are they a House in whose hands the voters of any slaveholding State can safely trust the choice of the next President of the United States? Is there a supporter of Mr. Fillmore in the Union who believes that he can reach the Presidency, except by election directly by the House of Representatives? Can it be pos- sible that his southern supporters will longer remain blind to the positive certainty of what the House will do if they send the election there, as manifested in the triumph of Speaker Banks, the passage of the Topeka-made consti- tution for Kansas, the vote on the resolution ex- pelling Mr. Brooks, the expulsion of Mr. Keitt, and the expulsion of Gen. Whitfield? Proofs have thus accumulated on proofs, which none but the mentally blind can fail to comprehend. With Fremont thus elected, and his party in Congress casting bebind them all thought of restraint of Constitution or Law, asin their so unanimous vote to accord the disputed seat to Reeder, who that knows the South, and her interests involved, can fer a moment believe that the Confederacy, as it now exists, can last for another decade? Guano.—If it be in the compass of possibil- ity for Congress to do aught likely to facilitate the importation of Guano into this country, and to cheapen it, it is surely its duty to leave no effort to thet end untried. As difficult as it is at this time to obtain that fertilizer, and as costly as it is to the American agricultu- rist, there is no estimating th> value it has already been to our country as furnishing the means not only of growing remunerating crops when applied, but as laying the foundation for the restoration of millions of well-located lands to a condition in which they. can be easily and economically kept up to the point of fertility. It is very certain that the period is not far distant when the Chincha Islands will fail us; as the supply there is by no means unlimited, and the consumption of the article is increasing as fast in other countries as in ours. There are doubtless many other accumula- tions of Guano as yet untouched by commerce, equally as valuable as those to which we re- fer above, and at least as accessible to Amer- ican shipping. The bill that has passed the Senate for the protection of American enter- Prise in discovering and working such depo- sites, has been duly considered in that cham- ber, and has been matured only after the Closest criticism of the views of all in this country whose attention has been seriously turned to the praiseworthy end of securing an ample future supply of this now absolutely indispensablo fertilizer. Its enactment can- not ¢onflict with any existing American inter- est, while there is no estimating the benefits it may secure for the whole body cf American farmers and planters who till soil requiring periodical renovation. We therefore trust that this session will not end ere the bill to which we allude becomes a law. Col. Joseph Plympton, of the first regiment of infantry, U.S. A., who has been off duty for a year past, owing to severe chronic illness, was accidentally shot a few days ago from a rifle, in the hands of a careless person. This occurrence took place on Long Island, where Col. P is sojourning. Gen, Scott immediately dispatched Surgeon Saterlee to his assistance, who reports thet his wound will Probably not prove mortal. The bullet struck a little be- low the left nipple.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill to provide the means of paying for Creek Indian depredations in Georgia and Alabama was further discussed, without being disposed of, until they proceeded to the con- sideration of private bills; and the bill for the relief of Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana, was then debated by Messrs. Bright, Sebas- tian, Toombs, Weller, Stuart and Brown, un- til half-past 4 p m.; when they adjourned until Monday next. In the House, the question was put on agreeing to the resolution reported from the Elections Committee ousting John W. Whit- field from his seat in the Hall delegate from Kansas; which passed—yeas 110, nays 92—as follows : ‘Yeas—Messrs.

The question was then put on agreeing to the second resolution from the same commit- tee—that awarding the seat thus made vacant to A. H, Reeder; and it was not agreed to— yeas 88, nays 113. Shortly afterwards the House went into Committee on the Private Callender, (Mr. MeMullin in the Chair,) wherein a large num- ber of private bills were considered and dis- ed of ere the committee rose; and the ouse adjourned Preceedings of Te-Day. The Senate were not in session to-day. In the House, the committees were called over for reports on private business, and va- rious bills for the relief of individuals were reported, and adverse reports were made; the first were committed, and the latter duly laid on the table. The private bills on the Speaker’s table were then taken up and committed. The House next went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Cobb, of Ga., in the Chair,) wherein the For- tification Appropriation bill was considered on various propositions to amend it. They were thus engaged as the Star went to press. or REEDER’S SAFETY GUARD Having published yesterday the resolution, passed unanimously and in official form, of the Nashville Association of Engineers, I now submit the proceedings of a similar associa- tion in Louisville, Ky , which was also adopt- ed with entire unanimity, together with other testimony from different sources—the charac- ter of which will, I think, carry conviction to to every unbiassed mind : To the Officers and Members of the Associa- tionof Steamivat Engineers, Louisville, Kentucky. The undersigned, a committee appointed by the Association of Steamboat Engineers to ex- awine iS agree safety valve, the invention of Brother J. M. Reeder, of the Nashville Asso- ciation, have attended to that duty, and beg leave to offer the following as the result of their deliberations : First. The valve, in detail, is simple, and your committee are of the opinion is effectrve; and is go constructed as not to be easily tam- pered with or altered. It is arranged to indi- cate any given pressure of steam. Your com- mittee are informed that it is the intention of the inventor to attach a float to the valve, in- dicating the position of the water in the boil- ers—said float being so arranged as to raise the safety valve (although there may be a low indication of steam pressure.) Tho valve is so arranged by leverage, &c., that the float will open the valve, permitting the water in boilers to escape, thereby putting out the res. The invention, taken as a whole is, in the opinion of your committee, preferable to any- thing of the kind yet invented. onN Lawson, H. J. Bruuines, Joun Gauxr, Jauzs Hotmes, J. B. McCurry, Committee Inspector's Orrice, Loursvitie, Ky., December 81, 1855 Sir: After a careful examination of your enclosed Safety Valve. we are of opinion that the principle on which it acts is a correct one; and further, that its use, if fitted up well and always kept in good working order, would, in all cases, prevent the explosion of steam boil- ers in all that class of cases by which boilers were exploded by excessive pressure, always supposing the valve not to be loaded beyond the strength of the boilers.

And “ last, but not least,” I present the fol- lowing letter from Wm. M. Ellis, Esq , of this city, who stood for many years at the head of the machinist’s department at the Washington Navy Yard, and is now proprietor of the « Eagle Iron Works,’’ one of the most exten- sive establishments in this part of the coun- try. Mr. E. stands at the very head of his profession, both as a practical and theoretical engineer: Eaaue Iron Woras, Washington City, August 1, 1856 I have examined the Safety Guard of Mr. Reeder, now placed for inspection in the Ko- tunda of the Capitel, and have no hesitation in saying that I be! tirely reliable in venting explosions of steam boilers, when such accidents are likel to occur by an excess of pressure, as it is not possible for an engineer to put any addi- tional preesure on while the boiler is under steam. I conceive the great improvement in Mr. Reeder’s valve to be, that not only is an ex- cess of pressure indicated, but the discharge of water into the fires at the same time pre- vents an accumulation of steam, by destroy- ing the power that generates it. f should have entire confidence in its cer- tainty of action, and continuous Erewoal operation. Wu. M Etus. There is in existence a letter from Professor Booth, a highly scientific gentleman connect- ed with the United States Mint in Philadel- phia, to whom my Safety Guard was submitted last winter, by request, and who reported, after its trial on one of the boilers at the mint, that its operation was satisfactory. The ab- sence of that letter here is no fault of mine. The operation of my Guard is to wet the fires whenever steam rises at a// above the point fixed as safe for the boiler. Should the engineer persist in increasing the amount of steam, the water flows upon the fire in larger quantities, until, say at a pressure of 6 or S pounds above the point allowed, they are en- tirely extinguished, and he has nothing to do but to rekindle them, the boilers still retain- ing steam eufficient to manage the boat until he has done so ; and just so often as attempts are made to violate the standard fixed upon as safe, just so often will the ever-vigilant and faithful ‘““Guard”’ throw Aot water on his dangerous designs. It is sleepless and un- tiring, true to its duty—a faithful guardian over the safety of those committed to its charge. By a simple yet effective apparatus, my invention guards against explosions from the cause of /ow water in the boilers as completely and certainly as from a too great amount of steam. It may be thought that I speak with great confidence of the utility of my Guard, but “I speak what I know.’’ It is idle to expect immunity from danger from explosions unless some method can be adopted which will place the power to raise steam above a prescribed point entirely be- yond the reach of incompetency, viciousness, or those impulses of rivalry which a//, whether engineers or passengers, are apt to feel under the mad excitement of a steamboat race. The cost of applying my apparatus testeam- boilers would be reimbursed to the owners in one yearin the matter of labor, insurance, and fuel. That it is patented I conceive to be no bar to its adoption. Having devoted many yearsof my life and all my means to its invention, perfection, and practical appli cation, I am surely entitled to some recom- pense; and how, I ask, am I to receive this unless under the operation of a patent ?
