The Unzon publishes a letter from General Jeseup upon the history of the Missouri Com- promise, fall of very interesting information of course, as its author, while possessing a fine mind well stored with information on all branches of public affairs, has since his man- hood began daily recorded every thing of im- portance or interest, for reference in after times.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Walbr'dzevs. Sickles —The following man- ufactured-to-order-paragraph Cores lade ington (telegraphic) correspondence in oes vane aa i ca eientikibent to “It is a matter of comple the friends of Sickles here that be Ibs a in opposition to the regular nomi se i democratic party, thereby merge dn e elec- tion of that Sterling democrat and tried states. man, Gen. Walbridge. I am informed hé has been written to by the friends of Mr. Buchanan to leave the field, a8 he stands no chance of an election, and is only dividing and distracting the party, and may thereby cause the election of a black republican. I am justthis moment informed by an intimate friend of Old Buck that he (Buchanan) Lestore Gen. Walbridge should represent the third district of your city. Thisisreliable Mr. Sickles will please, there- fore, leave the ring.’’ The act of Mr. Sickles in ‘‘ leaving the ring,’’ would doubtless have a beneficial effect on the price of the Mariposa stock owned by Mr. James Gordon Bennett. But we incline to the opinion that Mr. S. will do nothing of the sort, however much his acceptance of the regular Democratic nomination in the third district of New York may interfere with the financial schemes of the open and avowed backers of Col. Fremont. We presume that if Mr. Sickles has been written to to withdraw by a friend of Mr. Buchanan, the writer must have been some such friend as General Walbridge himself, who did not find it convenient to declare in his speeches whether he was for his partner, Col. Fremont, or Mr. Buchanan, before the result of the recent Pennsylvania and Indiana elections was known. Atthis point, he, (Gen. Walbridge,) was claimed by the Fremonters as one of themselves quite up to that time. This is a fact known to almost every man “around town.”’ That General Walbridge failed to take open and emphatic ground for Mr. Buchanan up to the time specified above, goes to justify the olaim of the Fremonters to him as their prop- ecty, as we explain. Under such circum- stances it cannot be reasonably expected that Mr. Sickles will decline the regular Demo- cratic nomination in Gen. W.’s favor; more especially—we must add—as it has been cur rently said for months past that the latter would run a stump against the Democratic nomination in the district, if failing to get it himself. Personally, no man has kinder feelings for General Walbridge than ourself. But we will not permit cur personal feelings to lead us to countenance him in standing in what we regard as an equivocal position toward tle Democratic party. For his sake we wish there never had been such things a3 the ‘‘ Mariposa’”’ and the “ Bolton and Barron” in existence. Kansas.—It is worthy of note that peace now reigns throughout Kansas. Governor Geary has already fairly redeemed the im- plied promise of pacifying the Territory in- volved in his selection after his experience as a successful executive officer in a new coun- try. The telegraph, it will be remembered, now chronicles only alleged stopages of ‘‘ Free State cettlers’’ about entering the Territory, which, as all the world have come tu know, simply means that men going into the Terri- tory for the avowed purpose of making war rather than oultivating the soil, have been prevented from carrying out that purpose— that’s all. This is as it should be, as all re- alize who desire that Kansas shall be left to the fair operation of the principle of self-gov- ernment at the foundation of its basis law. As yet the “‘ shriekers for freedom,’’ how- ever, continue their misrepresentations con- cerning the state of things there. That is, oa the stump in the States. Thus, the bogus Governor Robinson who fied between two days from the wrath of his betrayed—sold —California, constituents, is now in New York detailing false accounts of the manner in which James H. Lane's murderers, robbers and perpetrators of arson have been de:lt with by the outraged and excited people of the Territory. Fortunately for the cause of the continuance of the Union and order and peace in that particular Territory, the Penn- sylvania and Indiana elections of last week have already 80 influenced the public mind of the North as that ‘freedom shrieking”’ iz even so soon at @ great discount. After the 4th of November we shall hear little indeed of it ; as after the Presidential contest shall have been ended, there will be no inducement for the continuance of the systematic misrepre- sentation of occurrences in Kansas, such a3 those with which the Freemont Press have been é/atant fur months past. By the 4th of March next nine tenths of the people of the non-sleveholding States will be amazed on contemplating the extent and bold character of the Kansas-affairs humbug that has of late been successfully imposed on them for politi cal ends only. How It Was Done.—A gentleman in ex- tensive business in Wail street, New York, yesterday explained to us how Huntington, the now famous Yankee forger, managed to rub his fellow business men of New York out of something more than half a million of dol- lars in less thana year Thus, being a note broker professionally, the paper of many sound merchants and traders passed through his bands. His custom was to make fac sim- aces of the notes left with him to negotiateon account of others, and, after having thus dis- posed of the honest cnes, to hypothecate the forgeries for loans at usurious interest. He Was not a stock specalator, or a gambler, and, therefore, it is almost morally impossible that he can have parted with the whole of tho pro- ceeds of his villany, as alleged by many of the Northorn papers. Our impression is, that he has far more than enough left to buy him clear of any verdict of a New York jury likely to regult in kis proper punishment for bis many crimes; and then to havea heavy foy- tume left. The chances are ten to one, it Seems to us, that he bids fair to rank as asuc- cessful financier, rather than asthe Btate’, prison bird he should be for the balance of his life . Fremont’s Keligion.—John Charles Fre- mont—not Sewell L ,—is in a very bad box, bes there is no truth ia man. The Charleston Courter continues its expositions of events in his early history, which go to show that no worse man in all bis relations to society could possibly have been raked up by the Republi- om Peco of a to make a candidate ideney. its i inst., that journal a 8 : eee ee * He has tacitly, at te . - reckless supporters to deny'the core? ba fact of his long connection with the Rimen H Catholic Churel, afact which, as Jone Goma” | Fremont well knows, 14 abundantly hapa . many who have struggled long’ and hak sgainst growing convictions of the utter Fotten- | ness of his character and pretensions “He bas tacitly, at least, authorized and — one James G.

The Church Journal (of New York city) thus lifts the curtain upon their final proceedings in the case of the remission of the sentence that for twelve years past has been impending over Bishop Onderdonk of Pennsylvania: “The vote, after long discussion, passed 21 to 8, for the immediate and unconditional re mission of the sentence of suspension, under which he has suffered eo patiently, quietly, and blamelessly, for twelve years. There were tender and touching speeches made in that House, before the vote was taken—espo- ly one from the Bishop of Delaware. The hop of Pennsylvania was one of the must earnest and indefatigable in pressing the sub- ject. a For the Remission—The Bishops of Ver- mont, Tennessee. Wisconsin, Louisiana, Mich- igan, Western New York.

Absent—The Bishops of Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, Florida, and California.’’ Bedseming Themselves.—The Fillmore electors of the State of New York met on Wednesday last in New York city, and unani- mously endorsed the course of the Pennsyl- vania Fillmore State Central Committee in refusing to fuse on an electoral tickot with the Kepublican party of that Btate. This movement is important only as going to show the utter hollowness of the accusations against the integrity of Mr. Sanderson, the chairman of the State Committee referred, to and the nineteen others cf the same body—ont of i:s total of twenty-two—who back in now refusir g to fuse. The truth is, while a fusion on cu electoral ticket would secure for Buchanan and Breckinridge thirty theurand of the votes givea to the Union ticket in the recent Pennsylva- nia election, its effect would be even grestcr in New York, where there are fifty thousard members of the American party who stand ready to vote with the Democrats on becomirg satisfied that their Pennsylvania leaders do sign selling them out to Seward, Weed & Co. The United States Court-House at Balii- more, Md —We understand that the Secretary of the Treasury has designated the Presbyte- rian church property, at the corner of Fayette and North streete, as his seleotion for the loca- tion of the United States Court Houseto Le built in Baltimore, Md., and thatthe Attornc:y General is now engaged in the investigation of the title to the property. As it is a very fine site, indeed, for the purpose, we presume that it will be purchased by the Government in case the Attorney General approves the title offered. The Georgetown, D.

POLITICAL ITEMS. That gifted Maryland orator, J. M.S. Cau- sip, will be present at the Democratic meoting at Laurel Factory on the 30th inst. John J. Fonda, of Greenbush, N.

At the Middlesex (Mass ) County Fair, the following toast elicited great applause: Ex tract from a farmer's diary for 1856 -*‘ Great scarcity of apple-sass and cranberry-sass, but plenty of Kan-sas. The Milwaukee News asserts that there is no doubt that Wisconsin will go for Buchanan by at least seven thousand majority. Last fail the Democrats carried the S:ate by a handsome vote; and, says the News, “wo know of nochange against us since last fall. ‘There is not acounty in this State which gave a Democratic majority last fall that will not increase that majority this fall.” Sound reazons for supporting Fremont : be- cause he never forsook his trust so long as he could get anybody to trust him.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE GuongErown, Oct. 25, 1856. The following business was transacted by our City Councils last night. In the esi Bp _ Acer a com- munication from Mr John ford,complair- ing of the conduct of Officer Thomas, in hav- ing ey and maliciously arrested him upon a false charge; read and referred Mr. White, of the committee on streets, re- back Aldermen's bills for the improve- ment of foot way on north side of Water street; fixing the jo of Washington street, be- tween Road and Stoddard ; establishing the grade of Eighth street; establishing the grade of a part of Bridge, Fayette, re Prospects streets; bill appropriating $50 for the repair of of High street ; and resolution estab- lishing — of Fayette street between Sev- enth and High ; all of which were Also, from the same committee, asked to be discharged from the farther consideration of the petition of Charles Trunnell and others, in relation to the improvement of Fayette street; which was granted Mr. Jones, from same committee, to whom was referred Aldermen’s bill providing for a railing on the north side of the castern abut- ment of Bridge street bridge, recommended that the same do not pass; and the bill was accordingly rejected. Resolutions passed both Boards appropri- ating $135 for the benefit of Jas. F Essex for the livery of scavenger’s horse ; $30 for John T. Donaldson for repair of watch house; $6 for John Booth for cleaning same; $76 08 for Thos. Blunéon for repair of pumps; $7 for C. Thomas; $520.77 fourJ. B Greenwell for re- pair of pumps; and $50 for the purchase of an animal (not exactly a woolly horse) for the benefit of toe citizens generally. A resolution also passed both Boards au- thorizing the commerce committee to cause a buoy to be placed upon or near the rock in the river opposite Duck lane. A petition from W. B Fowler and others re- monstrating against the improvement of Olive street, was read and referred Aldermen passed bill providing for flag foot- ways across Congress, Gay, Dumbarton, Beall and Road streets; which was referred to com- mittee in the Council. The report of Recorder Ould upon the act to amend the charter of Georgetown was then called up, but the hour being late both Boards, on motion, adjourned until next Friday even- ing, at 74 o'clock. Another hubbub was raised upon Bridge street last night, by another false alarm of fire, started, we presume, as usual, to get out the engines. We think it would he decidedly better to close up the engine house altogether than our citizens should be alarmed and dis- tarbed nearly cvery night in this manner by a parcel of thoughtless youths, who seem t» | be almost the ouly persons hold of the appa- ratus when it is taken out We would call the special attention of the | members of Heber Tent to the meeting adver- tised for Monday evening.
