WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The New Dome.—The old umbrella-shaped 8nd coppered dome of the Capitol having long ago been removed, workmen are now engaged in detaching the brick aad stone foundation on whieh it for so many gears sogufely rested ; and the razeeing'p ill beeontinued to the main belt or coiaice of masonwork. Then, around this rim will be erected a wall, per- pendicularly, to the height of thirty feet, and upon this the first range of columns of the new dome will rest. To facilitate these oper- ations a steam engine has been placed on the. roof, in proximity to the grand circle of indus- try, and, by means of iron ropes, and all the other appliances of the building art, every necessary movement of materials is safely and expeditiously effected, under the immediate superintence of Mr. Robert Slight.

The Union, giving a review of the history of the Republican party, says: “Itis made manifest that they have only wanted, at any time, a fitting unity to raise the standard of revolution, and to plunge the whole country into civil war. We have seen a party formed upon the single tdea of slavery agitation ; we have seen that party resorting to every scheme and adopting every machination which its leaders could conceive of to manufacture food for this sectional agi tation. ane be ee epeaseall had ‘The main columns are already onthe ground, sacaediapeaeely noel the ringleaders of the re- | about thirty-two feet high, fluted, with rich lion arrested—peace and quiet was begin- omete prevail in! Kaneas. he people were becoming sick and tired of the senseless and interminable cry of ‘‘ free Kansas,”’ “ bleed ing Kansas,” &c , &o , and it became neces- sary to manufacture some fresh material for excitement—to get up more horrid outrages and bloody murders—or their* man-of-straw candidate, now that his frauds had been ex posed, would sink into merited contempt. In view of these facts it was that the revolution was planned. It was but the crowning act of a long line of infamous deeds which have had for their design the destruction of the Union. it was the last card—the only hope of the po- Jitieal gamblers who control the black-repub- lican party. They have played and lost.”’ Of the Intelligencer’s apology yesterday for not having taken sides thus far in the po- litical contest the Union says: “ As a specimen of non-committalism it will favorably compare with the best productions of Oliver Cromwell inthatline. Its doubts, its miegivings, its shrinking from all conclu- sions, and its nervous avoidance of all prefer- ence, remind one of those scenes in the coun- cil chamber of Governor Von Twiller, so graphically and faithfully described by Ir- ving. The three candidates for the presidency are taken up by the Jnielltgencer, one by one, in the most polite and respectful manner, each attentively but not impertinently exam- ined, each smiled upon most graciously, each patted upon one side of the face only, and each in turn set down again, with a haif sol- emn and half disapproving shake of the head. “*Whether the doubts of the Intedliav will be removed before or after the election we will not undertake to predict ; but one thing we think is quite certain—that “the standing aloof ’’ policy which it indirectly en joins will not be followed to eny considerable ie h by the patriotic portion of that party with which it has been so long identified.” The Intelligencer compliments Secretary Marcy’s reply to the deelaration concerning maritime law adopted by the plenipotentiaries of the seven Powers in Paris, and says : “ The document is haidiy a month old, yet already we have responses to it coming back tous jrom Europe; and cur purpose in re- curring to it now is to introduce the annexed notices of it from English papers. The Lon- don Times intimates that the objection to the udoption of the American propusition would net come from England; ard tae Manchester Guardian, one of the abiest and most influen- tial of the provincial journals, reflecting the sentiments of the commercial and manufac- turing interests, warmly commends its consid- eration to the Britisi Government, urging that, if France should object, 2 separate convention might be concluded between England and the United States, abolishing the right of capture of private property in any future war between the two countries Mr. Marey’s despatch is extensively published, and its merit generally coneeded.”’ —7—-—-— A Marine Locomotive. Mr. Wm Lonsdell, a machinist of Memphis, Tenneseee, has invented what he terms a ma- rine Lceomotive, and which is designed to be substituted for the present steam water craft by waking the base of the boat the propelling agent instead of paddle-wheels, as now used- The invention consists in using two huge paral” lel hollow screwsin the place of the present keel, and revolving them by means of steam power, so that they will cut their way through the water as a common screw cuts into wood, The screws are constructed of iron, and, a% before stated, are hollow, but are divided into compartments as a precaution against sinking: jm case of an acciden!. ‘Lhe cabin of the Lo- ecomotive will be constructed on frame work elevated above these screws, and will alto- gether, be more pleasantly situated than the cabins of cur river steamers, admitting the passage of fresh air beneath its whole length and breadth. It is believed that when fairly put upon the water and under advantageous circumstances, the Locomotive can make about thirty miles an bour, and thus compete with our railroad trains in speed as well as safety, The model has been put upon trial and has performed to the satisfaction of the inventor and numerous witnesses. capitals, of the Corinthian order, made of cast iron, and in appearance sufficiently substan- tial for the purpose intended. One of them, bronzed, has been hoisted to the roof, and is temporarily set up on the eastern front. The Progress in this improvement shows that the work has been earnestly commenced by Cap- tain Meigs, who, doubtless, will steadily and safely hasten its completion. There was only one Senator who, during the first session of the present Congress, openly expressed his opinion that the Capitol would look better without than with a dome. How ever tastes may differ, we venture the asser- tion that, when the dome shall have been completed, according tothe architectural de- sign, there will be but one opinion as to its noble, classic, and graceful appearance. and its adaptation to a beautiful and substantial range of buildings, fitted, in all respects, for the purposes of the Congress of a progressive, fearless, brilliant, and prosperous Republic. Political Religion.—Henry A. Wise, when stumping Virginia as the Democratic candi- date for Governor, exclaimed more than once that thiy country had far more to dread from Protestant popes in each vicinage, than from His Holiness, Pius 1X. That the reader may comprehend the truth and force of that re- mark, we quote the following from a Portland (Me.,) letter, of the 29th ult., to the Boston Post. It speaks for itself : “You and your readers in Massachusetts have probably no idea to what extremes the fanaticism of the black republicans has car- ried them in this State. They have enlisted many of the clergy in their cause, and the most violent. bitter, scurrillous politicians they make. Using their pulpits, and salaries paid by men of all parties, as stepping stones to political preferment, they drop the goapel when able to leave their preaching, and with it the Rev , and don the “Esq ,” e. g , Elder Peck—presto—Ben Peck, Esq “In Waldo county the Baptists of acertain district have been diseeplining an elder, who dared to use his freedom and vote against Arson P. Morrill. And yet they prate about the Church of Rome and her “ prigst Riv ben”? followers ! “At Wiscasset, a clergyman commenced preaching politics—his congregation gave him leave to leave—the fellow left town. and his taxes uvpaid, and, upon being called upon to ay, sent in to the selectmen a bill for bury- ing paupers (I think) at $10 per head! And this is the ‘‘ gospel to {he poor.’’? The Hon. Josiah Blaisdell, just re-nominated for Sen- ator, who last year voted for the repeal of the Maine liquor law. was publicly assailed by the ministers of the Free Will Baptist Association at Lewiston at the laying of the corner stone ofa Baptist seminary, chartered and endowed by the State of Maine; and some of these “Goop PEOPLE’ actually refused to receive the Lord’s Supper with Mr. Blaisdell—a dea- that church—because he voted against the Maine law. I could give you many other instances, but I think you will think these enough to show how far fanaticism extends in Maine. And all this in the year of grace eighteen hundred and fifty-six, and in a protes- tant country! “In Biddeford they are now engaged inef- orts to dismiss a minister because he won’t preach politics, and they charge him with drinking too much atthe communion, when the cburch bas used for a long time a prepara- tion of grape or raisin juice and water—all this for political religion.”’ The Home of the Dead —Few strangers visiting Washington take the Eastern Lranch or Congressional burial ground in the range of their sight-seeing tours. Yet there aro really few places in the District of Columbia of more interest to thore coming among us from a dis- tance. Apart from the natural beauty of its picturesque position, and the many tastefyl works of the eculptor’s art with which it is em- beilished, an hour spent within its limits brings upon the mind of the observer a rush of American historical reminiscences hardly otherwise to be conjured up in these days of nniversal exertion and strife over the affairs of the present moment Hundreds of those who have within tho last thirty years indeli- bly impressed their names ypon their coun- try’s annals, military, naval, and civil, lie entombed there; and as one readsthe brief bi- ography of each of these heroes and statesmen, a flood of grateful recollection necessarily rush through the memory, even of the visitor little given to take the typuble of thinking. Though the cemetery in question may not vie in the expensiveness and elaboration of its adorn- ment with a fow at the north, its treasures of the dust of the Great Departed make it, em phatically, far more jntesting than any other last resting place in this country. A Vatvasie Pyesication —Those who de- sire to bring back the Northern public mind to common sense upon the slavery question, earnet do better than to scatter broadcast throughout the non-slaveholding States a lit- tle pamphlet styled, «‘ Negroes and Negro Slavery : the first an inferior race ; the latter, its normal condition; by J. Hl. Van Enrie, M. D., 40.; printed at the Day Book Uffize, 19 Ann etreet, New York.’ It exposes the demagogism of the effurts of the pseudo philanthropists of the day with & master band, in erplaining that the race i* in 1ts proper condition in the Southern States, and that any change of that condition cannot fail to work disastrouzly for the maszes in the non-slavehelding States of the Union. Kansas Nows!--Such is the fondness for literary invention that no two stories relative to the affaira in Kansas, which find their way into the newspapers, by telegraph and by let- ter, agree in the matter of fact. At one time Gen. Lane bas a force sufficiently large to make captive the pro slavery men, and to subjugate the entice ferritory to his lamb-like sway; and at anothers, dhey are “ complaining bit- terly for the want of provisions ” If ‘‘soup”” made the forces of Napoleon goldjers, some- thing more substantial—sach as beef and wheaten bread—is necessary to “strengthen the knees’’ and inspire courage to the Freesoil battalions ! Judging from Lane’s antecedents, we haye no exalted opinion of his prowess. It should to remembered, by-the-by, that the foe whom he wouiJ exterminate is not made of “such stufl’’ ag to be frightened by the Chinese appliances of crackers and squibs, and the deafening sounds of gongs and cym- bals! fax Stave Leave —The Northern freesoil joernals, it is well known, aro continually harping en the subject of siavery, and, Judg- ing from their insane ravings, they wouid de- liver every holder of that epecies of property “over to the tormentors ’’ Bat while their sensibilities are thus wounded, (pretendedly,) the following paragraph, from the New York Journal of Commerce, shows that their “cha- rity” should Legin at home “ANOTHER SLAVER —The Stting out of slavers at this port still continues, notwith- standing all the efforts made on the part of government officers to prevent it. We have the best authority for stating that a vessel of this description left our port last Saturday ; and though the cireuinstance waz welt known, there were not facts + conclusive as to justify her detention "’ Yas Caarrer Usk Perrervarep.—The Mesa’.

An American mass meeting was held at Staunton (Va.) on Thursday a: Friday. Hon. A. H. H. Stuart presided, and hes ; speec 8 delivered by Hon. John M. Botts, John S. Pen- dleton, and others.

The Belfast Free Press published the affi- davits of several church members confirming this charge. One man waseiected for “goin the straight Whig ticket, witn the Union Sen- ators. Ex-Senator Dix, of New'Y ork, attempted on Wednesday evening last to address a Buchan- an gathering at East Hampton, Long Island ; but, after proceeding only a few minutes, was so severely attacked with vertigo, induced by exposure to the sun during the day, that he was forced to retire from the meeting. The Hon. John Van Buren is at the west doing good serviee for the cause. Le spoke at an immense meeting of the Democracy at Chicago, Ill., on Friday last. Illinois is one of the safest States in the Union for Buchanan and Breckinridge. The Democroy are alive and laboring with zeal worth of the great ob- ject in which they are engaged. T. L. Gifford, Secretary of the Pennsylvania American State Council, denies that a resolu- tion endorsing Mr Fillmore was pending at the adjournment of the Lancaster Council. He says that no such resolution was submit- ted, asthe nomination of Mr. Fillmore was endorsed and ratified at Harrisburg, in May last. and consequently that there was no ne- cessity for consideration of the subject. The Placer (Cal ) Press says that one of the delegates to the Republican Convention, held | at that place, wasa negro barber! Someone proposed his name for delegate to the State Convention, whereupon he was elected. The Republicans, however, on learning his color, reconsidered the vote and sent the poor negro hack to his “‘constituents.’’ How ungrateful ! White men “behave themselves” better than this in the Eastern Stater. C. B. Baldwin, Esq , a member of the Mis- sisssippi Legislature, who still avows himself ‘: both im principle and action, a Whig and an American,”’ feels called upon to avow his in- tention tosupport Buchanan and Breckinridge | as the only means of defeating Fremont, whom | be describes ‘‘a wild unprincipled adventurer, known only for his expedition over the Rocky Mountains, and reck'ess speculations in Cali- fornia lands.”’ The Democracy of Rhode Island beld a mass meeting at Providence on Wednesday—some seven or eight thousand persons present. Great enthusiasm was manifested. Hon. Philip Allen presided The meeting was addressed by Hon. D A. Smalley, of Vermont, Hon. W. B Sayles, Hon Nathan Porier, and others. Letters were read from Hon. Lewis Cass, Ru- fas Choate, John Van Buren, and others, re- gretting their inability to be present. The following, from the Sacramento State Journal, needs no comment: ‘The nomina- tion of John C. Fremont by the Republicans, cecasions more amusement than serious reflec- tion in Califoinia. The nomination is esteem- ed avery shabby affair; men turn up their noses at it, and say, ‘Pzhaw!’ He will not receive one of the forty thousand settler votes in the State, and indeed, we greatly question whether he will be able to carry a single pre- cinct.
