TAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY........ September 10, 1856. EVENING 17 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’cloc, m., otherwise they may not appear Wari! the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PEREsS. The Union continues its dieccussion of Kan- sas affairs. Of the Maine election the Union eays: “The vote fur governor in Maine last year stood as follows : For Morrill, (black republican) Fer Wells, (democrat) For Reed, (whig)...++ Total number of nn ot “Tt will be scen from the above that out o! 110 437 votes polled the Democratic candidate received 43 308 yotes—thus leaving him in a minority of 13,711 votes. Of the election held on Monday last we have received returns from 167 towns, giving an aggregate of 68,000 votes According to the telegraphic despatches which reached this city yesterday from Portland, Hoamlin, the Black Republican candidate for governor, led Wells and Patten somo twelve thousand votes ; but as the majorities are loose- ly given, and in round numbers, these figures may be considerably reduced by the official returns. Thestrong Democratic districts have not been heard from; and although it is not at all probabie, or even possible, that Ham- lin’s present reported majority can be wholly overcome, no matter how favorable the re- turns may prove to the Democratic cause from the 5th and 6th districts, we still believe that the result of Monday’s election will show that Maine cannot be placed among what are term- ed the certain States for the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency. ** It should be borne in mind that the democ- racy of Maine entered into the canvass which has just closed under many —— They wero largely in the minority. The Black-Republican candidate for governor was known to the whole State as a long-tried leader ofthe Democratic party. His abandonment of principles with which he had been promi nently identified for a period of twenty years was recent, and under such artfully-prepared cireumstarces as led many unsuspicious per- sons to believe thet he was still in full com- munion with a ee. which had lavished upon him its highest honors. We have not the slightest doubt that hundreds, may be thousands, of Democrats in the State of Maine were humbugged and deceived into the sup- port of Hamlin who could not, under any ci cumst-nees, be induced to vote for Mr. Fre- mont.” 51,488 48,303 +-10,645 The Intel/igencer thinks “ it is fortunate for the peace of the country thatthe permanence of this Union does not depend upon the move- ments of impulsive men, North or South. The *‘troubles in Kansas’? we may hope to see socn quicted under the guidance of the pru- dent mon now authorized to ‘keep the peace,’ ard bring the excited combatants “to a parley with reason and to a consider- ation of ibe highest obligations of good citizens. The quiet manner in which the recent strife in Congress was settled, after volumes of words and weeks of contention, proves that the elements of fraternity and pat- Tiotism are yet abundant, and that the ties which bind - us, though they may be strained to their utmost tension, can never be severed in our day and generation.”’ ——q@7@e Hon. Jonny WHEELER, or THe SixtH Con- GREssioNAL District, N. Y.—The New York Mercury, of September 7th, says: ‘ We un- derstand that, aside from Mr. John Cochrane, Colonel Charles D. Mead, and two or three others, a new candidate has presented bimself for nomination, in the person of Mr. Thomas C. Field, of the Seventeenth Ward. He is a Democrat of the hard shell school; a lawyer by profession, and a man of talent. We had hoped that the Hon. John Wheeler would have consented to run again in the district which he haz so ably represented the last four years; but we understand he most positively declines entering the canvass as a candidate ; and that, under no possible state of circumstances, could he be induced, at the present period, to suffer his name to be used. We regret this much, not because we agree with Mr. Wheeler in his support of the Cincinnati platform, but be- eause we know him to bg an able, faithful, and fearless representative of the people, al- ways pursuing that course which he deems most conductive to the great interests of the country. He is young. scarce ‘three-and- thirty strong ;’ endowed with every attribute essential to public life, and the duties of the statesman; and, in his retirement to private life, will take with him the good wishes of the People he has so faithfully represented.” PERSONAL. ++ee A shrewd little fellow, who had just begun to read Latin, astonished his master by the following translation: Vir, a man, Gin, @ trap—Virgin, a man trap. ++++ Mr. Howard F.

The Hall of Representatives.—In public establishments, as well as private houses, it seems that there is a time for moving the fur- niture, for “cleaning up,” 83 it is classically termed; for overhauling. for renovation. The extirpation of cobwebs, (notwithstanding their truly wonderful and ingenious construction,) and the brisk application of the sweeping and the scrubbing brush, form prominent features in the grand programme. A peep into the Hall of Representatives verifies this important fact. See that miniature mountain of spit- toons—painted tin—for moderate chewers of the Indian weed, and the heavy stone founda- tion of potter’s-ware for a similar use, adapted to the veteran consumers of fine-cut or pig-tail, who are not over particular in emptying their chops of the discolored saliva. Thus, all des- criptions of spitters and spirters are accom- modated. But these necessary pieces of floor- furniture are to be reburnished or cleansed for future tobacco-ous deposites. Nothing need be said in admiration of the panfuls of “old soldiers” or quidssoindustriously gathor- ed in various localities “‘ within the bar.”” But not only are the spittoons heaped up. Various piles of chairs fill the entrances; now emptied of representative digrity ; chairs for summer use, cane seats, in place of the heavily @ushioned armchairs, more comfortable in the frigid than the “‘ heated term.’? We may ob- serve, that some of the legs of the afcresaid chairs as well as backs, need mending; but in this connection we do not wish to be under- stood as making any allusion to the “ weak knees’? or fractured vertebrae of certain Re- publicans, of whom some of their friends—in newspaper columns—say hard things, for their flinching in the last grand battle over the Army bill! At the commencement of the present Con- gress, the desks wero drawn for, as if by lot- tery ; this being considered, as it doubtless is, the most satisfactory manner of selecting seats—for the desk and corresponding seat are both included in the piize. Now, however, w.thout this grave foimality, the desks, have been drawn or carried out of the Hall and crowded together in the rotundc—tempora- rily only. Just look over the labels. The names of fire-eaters, water spouters, wind- mills, freesoilers, and of all other stripes and shades, are intermixed in glorious confusion. The summer matting—very much the worse for wear and for looks. too—is now being stripped uy; for, as we repeat, the house-clean- ing, the renovation, must be complete—no shreds of the season past remain. It does not seem to be a pleasant business to the opera- tives, unless they are fond of inhaling fine particles of the materials of which (we are informed by the highest authority) we are constructed. But that is ¢ietr business, and not ours. The mechanics and their assistants are going to restoro the Hall to its winter trim and cos- tume. The carpets are to be sproad and tacked; the heavy red curtains again looped with artistic taste; the stuffed arm-chairs brought again from the lumber-room, and properly set up; and the spittoons, of course, will again be conveniently distributed, for we have no idea the anti-tobacco pledge will very suortly be taken by the chewing members, And here we may say that @ spit-box is an emblem of our nationality. Ono of the small figures for the embellishment of the Capitol— an Indian girl—is holding something of that kind on her bended knee; and there is a spit- box on each side of the cuter door of the Ex- ecutive Mansion. So much for utility and taste. The Baltimore Convention.—The Jntel/i- gencer, to-day, publishes the following com- munication as a reply to a communication that “found its way into our (its) columns”’ yesterday : An “Old Whig” of sixty years’ standin (who can see no necessity for the new-fangle term ‘‘old line’’) would respectfully ask his brethren of the same faith within the District of Columbia what business they can possibly have at the great gathering in Baltimore on the 17th? Is it not well known that the great gathering at Baltimore is to be composed chiefly of “Know Nothings’”’ who denounced and abandoned the Whig party? It is to be hoped that ‘“‘a Whig first and last’’ will be convinced on more mature reflection that the Whigs of the District can have noth- ing todo with the Baltimore Convention. If not, however, let his suggestion be carried out, and he will soon be convinced that the Whigs of Washington have some self-respect left, and that bis proposition will meet with no favor at their hands. A Waic. The Baltimore American, in recently la- menting the Intelligencer’s failure to join the Know Nothing party practically, by uniting in the support of Mr. Fillmore, expressed tho hope that asthe day for the meeting of this convention approached, its (the Intelligen- cer’s) conductors would be found standing forth in support of its expected action, The comments with which our respected cotemporary accompanies the above commu- nication however, reuders it certain that the American’s hope is to be blasted. Taken in vonnection with the publication of this com- munication those comments amount to an em- phatic endorsement of its allegation that the convention is to be but a Know Nothing gath- ering in disguise, and a renewed declaration that the Intelligencer will not lend to it its countenance. This demonstration of the Jn telligencer iz, indeed, a publication of import. ance. Postal Arrangements with Canada —Oo the first of October next will go into effect the additional (to those of Mareh, 1851,) articles of agreement between the Post Office Depart- ment of the United States and the Post Office Department of Canada, providing for the ox- change of rogistered letters between the two countries. The first article of the Convention provides that: ‘ Letters alleged to be valu- able, posted at any post office in the United States or its Territories, and addressed to Canada, or posted in Canada and addressed to the United States, and deliverable at any of the respective offices of exchange to be thence conveyed to their destination, shall be regis tered at the office of mailing, on the applica- tion of the person posting the same, provided that the full postage chargeable thereon to destination, together with a registration fee of five cents on each letter, be prepaid at such mailing office: and provided also, that such registration shall not be compulsory, and shal! not render the respective Post Office Depart- ments of the United States or Canada, or their revenues, liable for the loss of such letters or packets, or the contents thereof.» @ Consistency !~Some days 8g a delegation appointed by and acting in behalf of the Kan’ sas National Committee, came to W. . had an interview with the President of the United States, (as reported.) and on their re. turn to New York published a long and ez parte account of the result of their which is'stated, ostensibly to have been an in- vocation of his constitutional power to put an end to threatened outbreaks and bloodshed in Kansas, which their own partizans had adopt- ed means to provoke. Now that the President has taken efficient measures to this end, we see that the ‘‘ Republican” editors and stump- ers are profuse in their terms of condemnation, for the reason, probably, that their ‘“ emi- grants’ are in a fair way to be foiled in their treasonable schemes. Monstrous !—The Daily (New York) State Register says: “(A monstrous mass meeting of the friends of Fremont, is to be held on Boston Common at an early day.” Webster among other definitions, gives the following of the word ‘‘monstrous:’’ ‘“ Enor- mous, huge, extraordinary ; shocking to the sight or other senses; Aateful!’? Such is the announcement of a Fremont organ.

Hemy Ward Beecheris ‘‘ shrieking for freedom’”’ up in Ve1mont. The Fremont German pee at Cincinnati is now numbered with the things that wero. Hon. Edward Evorett is announced to speak atthe Fillmore mass mecting in New York city on Friday evening next. The New Haven Register, perhaps the most influential Democratic paper in Connecticut, announces the accession of five hundred new names to its subscription list, within a montb. We learn that Frederick Billings, formerly a very active Whig in this place, and now a lawyer in San Francisco, California, goes for Mr Buchanan. Hefuows Fremont —Wood- stock Age A writer inthe Qrincy Patriot points trium- phantly to the progress of the country to prove that, if the slayveholders have governed it for balf a century, as Mr. Quincey says they have, they have governed it with wonderful wisdom for its material increase and glory. Tho organization of the Democracy of the city of New York is nowina most effective and imposing condition. There are forty- four Buchanan clubs in the city, averaging about three hundred members-each, forming a grand working army of about thirteen thous- and men. The following papers, published in the city of New York, support Buchanan and Breckin- ridge: Souris ot Comsuleroe; Dally News. Day Book, Democratic Review, Sunday Times, Sunday Atlas, Campai,.. Democrat, Military Argus, New York Democrat, Irish American, Freeman’s Journal, Staats Zeitung, Citizen. The New Orleans Know Kothings at a late mass meeting, adopted the following preamblo and resolution : Whereas, We have the city. Resolved, That we keep it. The Democrats will ¢ :t upon the opposite : Whereas, We haven’t the city. Resolved, That we take it. John Minor Botts, ‘‘ head-bim-or.die’’ John, has written another letter, in which he says Fillmore is bound to carry Virginian. As the redoubted John M. has predicted a Demc- cratic defeat in Virginia every year since any man remembers, the Democrats, strange- ly enough, are less terrified than might be imagined. The Bureau (Lil) Democrat says that on Sunday last a special collection was taken up in the Congregational church of that pla:e, to aid in “the enlightenment and correction cf the public mind in the coming struggle for Freedom ”’ In other words, a collection was taken to clect John C. Fremont. The Democrats of Waterford, Saratoga county, had a tremendous mecting last Friday evening. The largest hall in the place, capa- ble of holding 1,200 persons, being utterly in- adcquate to accommodate tho crowd convened The meeting was held in the open air. The Hon. Lyman Tremain, of Albany, and R D Davis, Esq., a well known speaker in the cam- paign of 1840, delivered addresses which elicited the most enthusiastic applause. The New Orleans Delta says it is true that Mr. Fillmore nominally leads a party, but in fact he is out of the question at this time in the canvass. The amoitious tide that fora moment bore him on, has ebbed ; the waters have left him high and dry, and ho stander, or Jies, a helpless hulk upon a desert strand As regards his own chances. ho is in a state of ‘no whereness’’ in the canvass. He is not as much ag a bump on a log, orlump ona camel’s back, or the conceited fly on the wagon wheel that imagined it was kicking up all the dust. Fillmore, therefore is irrelevant matter. Let him pass. Some gentlemen traveling in a stage coach near Austin, Texas, had for a fellow passen- ger a talkative lady, who soon informed them that she was on a visit to one of her neighbors to congratulate him upon having receutly kill- ed a Know Nothing. Seeing a chance for fun, one of the gentlemen at once begged permis- sion to introduco the other, as Lieutenant Topo, the leading spirit of a Know Nothing lodge down the country. “A Know Nothing, is he?’’ questioned the irate lady. “ He is.”” “Well, if ever I should catch him in my house, courting one of my daughters, I’d run him out with the dogs, and then send the nig- gers to dig the tracks out of the yard. I scorn em. —_+++—_—_ New Music.—We have received from Mr. Ellis, the piano and musie man, “I think ’d better wed,” a rich comic song, by F. W. 8. Pendleton, Esq. Rock Is.anp Bringx.—Tho Pittsburg dem- onstration against this structure has drawn forth a statement from a Rock Island new:- aper, to the effect that since the bridge has een repaired, a strong crib is sunk above the centre of the burnt spun, and two booms extond from it to each pier. By this arrangement, it is alleged that a boat now must firet run through the draw a considerable distance, and then drift back again to get against the bridge at all. And even then, it is said, un- less, tho water is extraordinary high, the bridge would not catch the upper works of the boat, buc the force of the current would knock off its chimneys and let the boat pasa under. : Tue Lowsst River Yet.—A Clarksville paper, speaking of the low water in the Ten nessee, says that a rise of three feet came down whet days previous, but could not get over the shoals! Texas.—Texas contains ninety-nine coun- ties. It is supposed some twenty more will be orgavized at the next session of the Legis- lature. Sugar lands in Texas can be obtained at from three to eight dollars per acre. Good lands within thirty miles of Houston can be urchased for one dollar peracre.

Affairs in France were dull. The Emperor and family continue at Biarits. Napoleon is said to be euffering much from a diseased liver. There is no definite intel! from Spain. The Government is chiefly occupied in ap- pointing new officers in all the civil depart- monte. These are chiefly from the Liberal . Ithad been announced that a decree would appear in a few days suppressing the whole of the National Guard, and that the province of Madrid had already been dis- armed In Portugal, the bread riots had been sup- pressed, and a great many arrests had been made in consequence of them. The cholera at Lis was declining. Tho arrival ofa French Squadron in tho Tagus had caused much excitement. The harvest was over, and had turned out more favorably than had been anticipated ; but the vines wore a com- pleto failure From Italy it is renoried that the King of Nanles demands the reterence of the dfferences wita certain European Powers to a European Congress It is rumored that a collision had occurred at Palermo between the Neapolitan and Swiss troops. The crons throughout the kingdom of Naples had partially failed Austria has ordered the sequestered proper- ty of the Lombard eriles to be sold. The recent piratical attack on the Prussian corvette on the coast of Morocco had caused an intense excitement in Berlin; but it is probably incorrect that Prussia had invoked the aid of France and England, the feeling Raia | that Prussia should herself undertake to chastise the pirates Russia has volun- teered two. or three ships to aid any expedi- tion that Prussia may fit out. Great hopes are entertained in Denmark that England will speedily accede to the plan of capitalizing the Sound dues. Buchanan, the Eoglish Minister, who had been home to confer with his Government on that subject, had retuiaed, and strengthened these hopes. Nearly three thousand vessels passed the Sound during the past month, of which twenty- two were American. The cholera had anpsared at Stockholm, and Gen. Bodisco, the Kussian military envoy, was its first victim. Intelligence from came ed tg of August 15th states that the Russian reply gives hope of the surrender of Belgrade.

The sales of three days were 20,000 bales. Breadstuffs—Prices were a shade higher. For the better grades of wheat they were stiffer, but not quotably higher. Flour wes variously quoted at ‘ stiffer, but not quotably higher,” and at a ‘slight improvement.” Cora had improved 6d, The weather was un- settled. Provisions were genorally unchanged The money market was without change, and consols for moncy closed at 954295}. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE, Grorgetown, September 10, 1856. . The number of vescels at our wharves this morning is much smaller than usual at this season of the year. This is doubtless owing to the fact that nearly every vessol suited to the | trade that reaches our port, besides the reg- ular packets, is almost immediately taken up by one or the other of the coal companies now in operation, and loaded with coal for some one of the northern markets, Notwithstand- ing, however, the scarcity of vessels at the wharves, business all along Water street pre- gents quite an animated and encouraging ap- pearance. Most of this activity seems to be confined to our enterprising millers, each and all of whom appear to have just about az much pases on hand as they can well get along wit As the time is rapidly approaching for the matter to be determined, much anxiety seems | to be manifested by most of our eitizens as to where the new Custom Howse and Post Office building wi!l be located. We have heard of quite a large number of fine lots which have been or will be offered. The one, however, where mostof our heaviest businessmen seem to desire that it should be located is the corner of Gay and Congress strects. This isa beautiful site, indeod, and we think admirably located for the purpose, being in adirect line from the residence of most of them to their places of business, It is also quite an elevated posi- tion, commanding a view of a large portion of Georgetown, Washington and Alexandria. A building of such dimensions at this point would be a real ornament to our city. The lot is 120 by 135 feet. The quantity of wheat coming in by wagons for several days past has been unusually large; all of which bas mot with ready sale at prices sufficiently high to amply reward the indus- trious farmer tor his toils—but few of whom leave for their homes without taking with them large supplies of guano for the benefit of ensuing crops. The house of Mr. Coyle, in our city, is disposing to these worthy Sons of toh shone three hundred tonsof the articlo per week. Tho Know Nothings had a poll raising at Tenallytown yesterday afternoon. Speeches vob delivered by Messrs. Bradley and N.
